Business Context and Reporting Period

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q covers the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Via Transportation, Inc. is a technology company providing software and tech-enabled services to transform public transportation systems. A significant corporate event during this period was the completion of the Company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) on September 15, 2025, at a price of $46.00 per share. The Company is classified as an emerging growth company and a non-accelerated filer.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Comparable Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 32% year-over-year for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 28% for the nine-month period. Growth was driven by an 11% increase in customer count (713 customers) and strong expansion in the United States and government sectors.
• Profitability: While the Net Loss increased to $36.9 million for the quarter (from $21.3 million in the prior year), this was significantly impacted by a one-time $10.9 million loss on the extinguishment of convertible notes upon the IPO. Adjusted EBITDA improved to a loss of $8.7 million from $14.3 million in the prior year quarter.
• Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents surged from $77.9 million at year-end 2024 to $378.2 million at September 30, 2025, primarily due to net IPO proceeds of $306.8 million.
• Debt Structure: Convertible notes totaling $53.3 million in principal and accrued interest were automatically converted into Class A common stock in connection with the IPO. A $25.0 million balance remained on the revolving line of credit.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary: Management highlighted that the IPO proceeds provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months. The Company expects operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars due to investments in R&D, sales, and marketing, but anticipates these expenses will decrease as a percentage of revenue over time. The Company is focusing on scaling its platform and expanding into new transportation verticals.

Subsequent Events: On October 14, 2025, underwriters exercised the over-allotment option, purchasing an additional 1.36 million shares for net proceeds of $58.5 million. Additionally, a counterparty in patent litigation deposited $4.7 million with the court following a verdict in Via's favor, though this amount is not yet recognized in income pending the resolution of appeals.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Government Dependence: Over 90% of revenue is derived from government contracts, exposing the Company to budgetary constraints, procurement delays, and political shifts.
• Legal Proceedings: Ongoing litigation includes independent contractor classification challenges and an appeal in the RideCo patent litigation.
• Geopolitical: Operations in Israel (engineering hub) face risks related to regional conflict and military conscription of employees.
• Regulatory: Evolving data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and AI regulations present compliance challenges.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• IPO Conversion Impact: Verify the accounting treatment of the $10.9 million loss on extinguishment of convertible notes and the conversion of preferred stock into common equity.
• Customer Concentration: Confirm the stability of government contracts, which represent the vast majority of revenue, and the impact of potential government shutdowns or budget cuts.
• Patent Litigation Status: Monitor the appeal process in the RideCo case to determine when the $4.7 million escrowed funds can be recognized as income.
• Debt Covenants: Review compliance with the Credit Agreement's minimum liquidity covenant ($50 million) and revenue targets.
• Non-GAAP Reconciliations: Scrutinize the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, specifically the add-backs for stock-based compensation and patent litigation costs.
