Analysis

The stock moved -9.3% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite operational improvements would fit Kaltura’s history of occasional selloffs after solid earnings, as seen in several past quarters. The company reported Q4 revenue of $45.5M and record Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3M, with FY 2025 Adjusted EBITDA reaching $18.6M. Any decline could reflect concerns about modest 1% annual revenue growth, ARR softness, or integration risk from AI acquisitions rather than an absence of profitability progress.

Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have generally been positive on fundamentals, but price reactions have been mixed, with a few strong rallies and several muted or negative responses, indicating inconsistent follow-through on good results.

Recent Company History

Over the last five earnings cycles, Kaltura has repeatedly highlighted modest revenue growth with improving profitability, including record Adjusted EBITDA and rising non-GAAP net income. Prior results often exceeded guidance and were supported by AI-driven product launches and cost controls. Price reactions ranged from sharp gains after Q3 2024 and Q3 2025 to slight declines or flat trading after other quarters. Today’s Q4 and full-year 2025 report, featuring stronger EBITDA and AI-focused acquisitions, continues this trajectory of gradual margin expansion and platform evolution.

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA, annualized recurring revenue (ARR), gaap gross profit, non-gaap gross profit, +4 more
8 terms
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $6.3 million, also above the high end..."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
annualized recurring revenue (ARR) financial
"Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) was $168.2 million, a decrease of 3%..."
Annualized recurring revenue (ARR) is the predictable amount of income a business expects to earn from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts over a year. It provides a clear picture of the company's steady revenue stream, much like estimating the annual salary based on consistent monthly pay. Investors use ARR to gauge the company's growth and stability over time.
gaap gross profit financial
"GAAP Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $33.0 million..."
GAAP gross profit is the amount a company keeps from sales after subtracting the direct costs of making or buying the goods or services, calculated according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It shows the basic profitability of core operations—like the difference between what you sell a loaf of bread for and what it cost to bake—and helps investors compare margins and trends without mixing in overhead or one‑time items.
non-gaap gross profit financial
"Non-GAAP Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $33.1 million..."
Non-GAAP gross profit is a way companies measure how much money they make from selling their products or services, excluding some expenses that are usually included in standard calculations. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of the company's core earning ability, helping investors understand its performance without certain accounting adjustments.
gross margin financial
"representing a gross margin of 72% compared to a GAAP gross profit..."
Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.
View in glossary
operating expenses financial
"Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $32.1 million..."
Operating expenses are the routine costs a company pays to keep its business running day to day — things like salaries, rent, utilities, office supplies, and marketing. Investors watch them because they reduce the profit available to shareholders and reveal how efficiently a company runs; lower or well-controlled operating expenses (relative to revenue) are like trimming household bills to improve savings.
net cash provided by operating activities financial
"Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million for the fourth quarter..."
Cash a company actually generates from its regular business activities during a reporting period, after accounting for day-to-day receipts and payments and excluding one-time financing or investing moves. Think of it as the cash left over from running a store each month after paying suppliers, wages and handling changes in inventory and customer payments, not counting loans or asset sales. Investors use it to judge whether the business can fund operations, pay debts and grow without relying on outside cash.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"The guidance provided above contains forward-looking statements and actual results may differ..."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Closed eSelf.ai acquisition and signed definitive agreement to acquire PathFactory, advancing the Company’s evolution into a rich, agentic digital experience platform

NEW YORK, March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaltura, Inc. (“Kaltura” or the “Company”), the rich, agentic digital experience platform, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, as well as outlook for first quarter and full year 2026.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $45.5 million, above the midpoint of the guidance range, with subscription revenue of $42.7 million, above the high end of the guidance range. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $6.3 million, also above the high end of the guidance range, representing a new record and the Company’s tenth consecutive quarter of Adjusted EBITDA profitability.

For the full year 2025, total revenue was $180.9 million, representing 1% year-over-year growth, and Adjusted EBITDA was $18.6 million, representing more than 150% year-over-year growth and materially exceeding the Company’s original annual guidance of approximately 100% growth.

Ron Yekutiel, Co-Founder, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Kaltura said, “We ended 2025 with strong operational momentum and efficiency, achieving the highest level of new bookings and gross retention in the year and record Adjusted EBITDA profitability, while making a meaningful step forward in our long-planned evolution from providing a video platform to powering rich, agentic digital experiences.

In the fourth quarter, we closed the acquisition of eSelf.ai, a leader in AI avatars and multimodal conversation, and earlier today, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire PathFactory, a provider of AI-driven content and user intelligence, journey orchestration, and conversation automation solutions. Our continued investment in AI, alongside these two strategic acquisitions, are aimed at expanding our capabilities in the emerging Conversation Automation and Agentic Engagement Solutions market.

As organizations increasingly seek to move beyond static, same-for-all digital experiences toward richer, more personalized, contextualized, and conversational engagement, we believe Kaltura’s evolved platform - which combines real-time AI-based rich-media content creation, intelligent content and user management, and agentic conversational experiences - positions us well to capture this emerging opportunity. This further bolsters our confidence in returning to a ‘Rule of 30’ combination of double-digit revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin by 2028 or before.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Business Highlights:

  • Closed the acquisition of eSelf.ai and initiated integration of its AI avatar and multimodal conversational technology, strengthening Kaltura’s ability to generate AI-based videos and deliver real-time multimodal conversational experiences across its platform.
  • Achieved the highest level of new bookings in 2025, including two seven-figure and fifteen six-figure new deals, as well as seven AI-related deals for Content Lab and Genie. New deals spanned industries including technology, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, education, and media & telecom.
  • Achieved the highest gross retention level of 2025, concluding the year with EE&T gross retention at its highest level in the last five years.
  • Introduced new Genie capabilities across the Kaltura platform, enabling conversational interaction with individual video assets and supporting richer personalization and contextual user experiences.
  • Received additional industry recognition, named a leader in Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 ‘Global Enterprise Video Platform Market Radar’ research, citing Kaltura’s advanced AI capabilities, and early move into agentic AI.

Subsequent Events

  • Signed a definitive agreement to acquire PathFactory, a provider of AI-driven content journey orchestration and conversation automation solutions, expanding Kaltura’s capabilities in understanding user intent and generating personalized digital engagement experiences. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement and subject to customary closing conditions, Kaltura expects to acquire PathFactory for approximately $22 million in cash, and for the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2026. Additional information is provided today in a separate press release.
  • Launched a beta program for Kaltura’s Avatar Video Creation Studio, enabling customers to generate avatar-based video content at scale and transform pre-recorded avatars into interactive conversational experiences. Additional information is provided today in a separate press release.
  • Announced the general availability of Kaltura’s Agentic Avatar and Avatar SDK, enabling conversational avatar experiences and providing developers and system integrators with APIs and tools to build custom conversational video experiences. Additional information was provided in a press release last week.

The guidance provided above contains forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Kaltura has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net loss within this press release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. The reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA includes but is not limited to the following items: stock-based compensation expenses, depreciation, amortization, financial expenses (income), net, provision for income tax, and other non-recurring operating expenses.

These items, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP net loss, are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control. The guidance above is based on the Company's current expectations relating to the macro-economic climate trends.

Additional information on Kaltura’s reported results, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures, is included in the financial tables below.

Board Update

The Company also announced today the appointment of Greg Dracon, General Partner at Point 406 Ventures, to its Board of Directors, effective as of March 16, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Kaltura has provided in this press release and the accompanying tables measures of financial information that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin (calculated as a percentage of revenue), non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin (calculated as a percentage of revenue), non-GAAP net profit (loss), non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA.

Beginning with the second quarter, non-GAAP Net profit (loss) was adjusted for gains or losses from foreign currency translation adjustments, with the recent fluctuation of the U.S dollar, specifically against the Israeli Shekel and less certainty in the global economic environment, Kaltura believes that this change will provide a better reflection of its overall operating performance on an adjusted net profit (loss) basis

Kaltura defines these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective corresponding GAAP measure, adjusted for, as applicable: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) the amortization of acquired intangibles; and (3) strategic initiatives expenses, (4) war-related costs, (5) foreign currency translation adjustments loss (gain), (6) restructuring charges; and (7) acquisition related expenses. Kaltura defines EBITDA as net profit (loss) before financial expenses (income), net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and certain non-recurring operating expenses. These non-GAAP metrics are a supplemental measure of our performance, are not defined by or presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net profit (loss) or any other performance measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented because we believe that they provide useful supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance and are frequently used by these parties in evaluating companies in our industry.

By presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Additionally, our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance because they assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis between periods, as described above. Although we use the non-GAAP financial measures described above, such measures have significant limitations as analytical tools and only supplement but do not replace, our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. See the tables below regarding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics

Annualized Recurring Revenue. We use Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as a measure of our revenue trend and an indicator of our future revenue opportunity from existing recurring customer contracts. We calculate ARR by annualizing our recurring revenue for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Recurring revenues are generated from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, as well as term licenses for software installed on the customer's premises (“On-Prem”). For the SaaS and PaaS components, we calculate ARR by annualizing the actual recurring revenue recognized for the latest fiscal quarter. For the On-Prem components for which revenue recognition is not ratable across the license term, we calculate ARR for each contract by dividing the total contract value (excluding professional services) as of the last day of the specified period by the number of days in the contract term and then multiplying by 365. Recurring revenue excludes revenue from one-time professional services and setup fees. ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades or price increases or decreases. The amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, pending renewals, professional services revenue, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions or divestitures. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as it is an operating metric and is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.

Net Dollar Retention Rate. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate, which we use to measure our success in retaining and growing recurring revenue from our existing customers, compares our recognized recurring revenue from a set of customers across comparable periods. We calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate for a given period as the recognized recurring revenue from the latest reported fiscal quarter from the set of customers whose revenue existed in the reported fiscal quarter from the prior year (the numerator), divided by recognized recurring revenue from such customers for the same fiscal quarter in the prior year (denominator). For annual periods, we report Net Dollar Retention Rate as the arithmetic average of the Net Dollar Retention Rate for all fiscal quarters included in the period. We consider subdivisions of the same legal entity (for example, divisions of a parent company or separate campuses that are part of the same state university system) ,as well as Value-add Resellers (“VARs”) (meaning resellers that directly manage the relationship with the customer) and the customers they manage, to be a single customer for purposes of calculating our Net Dollar Retention Rate. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate for any fiscal period includes the positive recognized recurring revenue impacts of selling new services to existing customers and the negative recognized recurring revenue impacts of contraction and attrition among this set of customers. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.

Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining Performance Obligations represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been delivered, including both subscription and professional services revenues. Remaining Performance Obligations consists of both deferred revenue and contracted non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. We expect to recognize 64% of our Remaining Performance Obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, and the remainder over the next four years. However, we cannot guarantee that any portion of our Remaining Performance Obligations will be recognized as revenue within the timeframe we expect or at all.
