Klaviyo (NYSE:KVYO) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results

Klaviyo (NYSE:KVYO) issued its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.19 earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.17 by $0.02, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $350.20 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $333.99 million. Klaviyo had a negative net margin of 5.70% and a negative return on equity of 1.00%. The company’s quarterly revenue was up 29.6% on a year-over-year basis. During the same quarter last year, the business earned $0.07 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Klaviyo’s conference call:

• Strong financial results — FY2025 revenue grew 32% to $1.234B, Q4 revenue was $350M (+30% YoY), non‑GAAP operating margin expanded to 14% for the year, free cash flow rose 61% to $87M, and cash on hand exceeded $1B.
• Raised, de‑risked 2026 guidance — management now expects $1.501–$1.509B revenue (21.5%–22.5% growth) and ~14.5%–15% non‑GAAP operating margin, with minimal assumed contribution from newest AI/service products.
• Rapid AI/agent adoption and measurable customer impact — Marketing Agent now generates over half of campaigns for adopters with case studies showing big lifts (e.g., Adore Beauty: +50% opens, +40% revenue per campaign); Customer Agent has improved resolution rates (~+20 points) and driven material sales uplifts for customers like LifeStraw.
• Enterprise and international momentum — customers with >$50K ARR grew 37% to 3,912 (net new large‑logo wins), number of $1M+ ARR customers doubled, revenue outside the Americas now >1/3 of business and grew ~41%–42%, and Klaviyo is scaling enterprise motion and partnerships (e.g., Accenture).
• Service and newest AI products are early‑stage upside — management characterizes service/agent revenue as embedded upside (minimal in the 2026 guide) and adoption is growing but still early, so near‑term contribution is uncertain.
