Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

GAAP net income was $704,000, compared with a $426,000 net loss in the prior-year quarter; GAAP operating loss was $4.5 million. Non-GAAP operating income was $56.9 million, versus $45.0 million a year earlier. Dollar-based net revenue retention was 108%, and 22% of ARR came from customers using three or more products.

Repurchases may occur in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or other means, including under 10b5-1 plans. The program has no expiration date, does not obligate the company to acquire a particular number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate financial
"We calculate our Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate"
A percentage that shows how revenue from the same group of existing customers changed over time after counting upsells, price increases, cancellations and reductions. Think of it like checking whether the customers you already have are buying more, less, or the same amount compared with a year ago. Investors use it to judge the health and predictability of a business: a high rate means growth built on existing clients, while a low rate signals churn or shrinking customer value.
Annualized Recurring Revenue financial
"ARR is the annualized value of existing paid subscriptions"
Annualized recurring revenue is the predictable income a business expects to earn over a year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It’s similar to estimating how much money you would make in a year if your current monthly income stayed the same. Investors use this figure to assess the stability and growth potential of a company's revenue stream.
Free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow is defined as cash and cash equivalents provided by or used in operating activities"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Adjusted free cash flow financial
"Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.

Raises FY26 revenue guidance to $1.537 billion to $1.541 billion, for year-over-year growth of ~25%


BOSTON, November 4, 2026 — Klaviyo (NYSE: KVYO), the autonomous B2C CRM, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Since our founding we have placed customer relationships and data at our core, and this puts Klaviyo at the center of this shift. We provide the engine that fuels our customers’ growth: a B2C CRM that integrates data and decisioning with purpose-built agents for marketing and customer service. That's why more than 211,000 brands around the globe trust Klaviyo to turn their customer data into personalized experiences that help them grow,” said Andrew Bialecki, co-founder and co-CEO of Klaviyo.

●Recognized in leading analyst evaluations, including the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Multichannel Marketing Hubs.1
●Grew customers to more than 211,000, with new customer wins and expansions with Frasers Group, Malbon Golf, and Voluspa.
●Large customers outpaced total company growth, with 4,725 customers generating over $50,000 of ARR, up 33% year-over-year; 390 customers generating over $250,000 of ARR, up 49% year-over-year; and 105 customers generating $500,000 of ARR, up 57% year-over-year.

Growth was broad-based, with strength in our largest customer cohorts demonstrating our success in the enterprise and more customers landing with multiple products from day one. We continue to drive growth with disciplined investments, and our innovation engine keeps us ahead of customer needs. I have deep conviction in the runway ahead as we scale

profitably and execute our strategy to expand across multiple products, in the enterprise, and internationally, and build on the momentum with our agents,” said Erica Smith, CFO of Klaviyo.

Share Repurchase Authorization

Today, Klaviyo also announced that its board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which the company may repurchase up to $300 million of its Series A common stock. The new program follows the completion of Klaviyo’s prior $500 million share repurchase authorization, which was completed in October.

Smith continued: “The new authorization reflects the board and management’s conviction in the strength of our strategy and intrinsic value of our shares at current levels. We are a growth company and our strong cash balance and consistent cash generation allow us to also prioritize organic investments in the business and maintain the flexibility to pursue opportunities that can accelerate our roadmap.”

Klaviyo has not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income guidance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items excluded from GAAP cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. Stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change.

Select Defined Terms

Customers. We define a customer as a distinct paid subscription to our platform. A single organization could have multiple discrete contracting divisions or subsidiaries or brands each with paid subscriptions to our platform, which would, in general, constitute multiple distinct customers. In some cases at the customer’s request, we allow subscriptions under the same parent organization to be consolidated into a single paid subscription in which case such consolidated paid subscriptions would constitute a single customer. We measure our total number of customers as a point-in-time calculation measured as of the end of a particular period. Customers do not include persons or entities that use our platform on a free trial basis.
Customers Generating Over $50,000, $250,000, and $500,000 of ARR. We calculate our number of customers generating over $50,000, $250,000, and $500,000, respectively, of ARR (as defined below) as those customers that have an average ARR of greater than $50,000, $250,000, or $500,000, respectively, over the prior twelve months (or



the entire duration of the customer’s paying relationship, if it is less than twelve months) as of the date of determination. We believe the number of customers generating over $50,000, $250,000, and $500,000, respectively, of ARR are key performance metrics to help investors and others understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team, as they are indicators of our ability to grow the number of customers that are exceeding these ARR thresholds, both from our existing customers expanding their usage of our platform and from our sales to larger customers. We believe this is an important indicator of our ability to continue to successfully move up market.
Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate. We calculate our Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate (“NRR”) by first identifying the cohort of customers as of twelve months prior to the date of determination. We then calculate the Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) from this customer cohort as of twelve months prior to the date of determination (the “Prior Period ARR”) and the ARR from this customer cohort as of the date of determination (the “Current Period ARR”). ARR, for any date of determination, is the annualized value of existing paid subscriptions, which we calculate by taking the amount of revenue that we expect to receive in the next monthly period for our existing paid subscriptions, assuming no changes to such subscriptions in the next month, as of that date of determination, and multiplying that amount by twelve. Current Period ARR includes any expansion, price increases, and customer subscriptions that are deactivated and subsequently reactivated during the applicable twelve-month period and reflects contraction or attrition over the last twelve months from this customer cohort, but excludes any ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the point-in-time NRR. We then calculate the weighted average point-in-time NRR as of the last day of each month in the current trailing twelve-month period to arrive at the NRR, with the weightings determined by the total ARR at the end of each period. We believe NRR is a key performance metric to help investors and others understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team, as it represents the expansion in usage of our platform by our existing customers, which is an important measure of the health of our business and future growth prospects. We measure Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate to measure this growth.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, basic, non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow margin. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.
Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP net income exclude certain significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. These may include, among others, (i) material amortization of prepaid marketing expenses, (ii) stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, and (iii) significant, one-time restructuring expenses. Our non-GAAP gross margin is calculated as non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenue. Our non-GAAP operating margin is calculated as non-GAAP operating income divided by total revenue. Our non-GAAP net income per share, basic, is calculated as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding - basic for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income per share. Our non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, is calculated as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding - diluted for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income per share. Free cash flow is defined as cash and cash equivalents provided by or used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalization of software development costs, purchases of certain other non-current assets, acquisition of intangible assets, and employer taxes for executive option exercises. Free cash flow margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as free cash flow divided by total revenue. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as free cash flow plus cash paid for asset acquisitions, including related acquisition costs. Adjusted free cash flow margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as adjusted free cash flow divided by total revenue.
Stock-based compensation expense includes the net effects of capitalization and amortization of stock-based compensation expense related to capitalized software. Stock-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. When evaluating the performance of its business and making operating plans, Klaviyo does not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, the company places a greater emphasis on the amount of overall stockholder dilution than the accounting charges associated with such grants). The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on restricted stock unit settlements, option exercises, related stock price, and other



factors that are beyond Klaviyo’s control and that do not correlate to the operation of the business. The expense related to amortization of prepaid marketing expense of warrants issued to Shopify is dependent upon estimates and assumptions; therefore, Klaviyo believes non-GAAP measures that adjust for the amortization of prepaid marketing expense provide investors a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods. Klaviyo believes that the economic impact of the partnership is best measured in the form of stockholder dilution and as such we have provided a reconciliation that shows the full dilutive impact of all outstanding equity instruments. Overall, Klaviyo believes it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of its core business and to facilitate comparison of its results period-over-period and to those of peer companies. All of these non-GAAP financial measures are important tools for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating Klaviyo’s own operating results over different periods of time.
We believe that all these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to decision making by our management, who use these measures as important tools for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating Klaviyo’s own operating results over different periods of time.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Klaviyo’s business and an important part of the compensation provided to attract and retain its employees to create long-term incentive alignment with stockholders.
