Revenue Growth Accelerates Sequentially to 39% in Q2, Driven Mainly by New Customer Wins

Commercial Momentum Includes $500,000+ Research Institute Agreement and New Government and Intelligence Customers

NEW YORK, NY, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyabra, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYAB) ("Cyabra" or the "Company"), a company whose artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered platform helps governments and enterprises detect coordinated manipulation and protect digital trust, today reports financial results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2026.

The second quarter marked record revenue for Cyabra, as organizations across the public and private sectors increasingly turned to the Company's AI-powered narrative intelligence platform to identify coordinated influence campaigns, bot activity, and synthetic online threats. Revenue growth accelerated to 39% year-over-year in the second quarter from 12% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting new customer wins and increased revenue from existing customers. During and following the quarter, Cyabra also expanded its international government and intelligence footprint, added new commercial relationships, broadened its routes to market, and continued to advance its AI-powered technology platform.

Dan Brahmy, Cyabra’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer stated: "Our second quarter 2026 results represent the highest quarterly revenue in Cyabra's history and reflect the growing demand for our AI-powered narrative intelligence platform as organizations increasingly recognize that understanding and mitigating online manipulation has become mission critical. Revenue grew 39% year-over-year, driven by new customer wins and expanded engagement with existing customers. We believe this acceleration, together with continued expansion within our existing relationships, demonstrates increasing commercial traction for our platform.

During and following the second quarter, we expanded our relationships with government and intelligence organizations in Europe and Asia-Pacific, secured an agreement valued at more than $500,000 with a leading international research institute, and broadened our routes to market through relationships with Carahsoft Technology Corp and Onclusive, Inc. At the same time, we continued to invest in our technology, including the launch of Coordinated Activity Detection. Importantly, we also strengthened our balance sheet through our recent financing and earned recognition from Gartner, Inc.® ("Gartner") as a Market Shaper in the Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence. Together, we believe these milestones strengthen our commercial foundation and support the next phase of our growth.

"We believe these achievements reinforce Cyabra's position at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and digital trust. We believe we are operating at the convergence of several powerful trends — the rapid adoption of AI, the proliferation of AI-generated content, increasing cybersecurity threats, and the growing need for governments and enterprises to understand what is authentic online. As organizations confront increasingly sophisticated disinformation campaigns, coordinated influence operations, and AI-generated content, demand for trusted narrative intelligence continues to grow.

"Our strategy is focused on converting this growing market need into sustainable revenue growth — winning new customers, expanding existing relationships, broadening our distribution, and continuing to innovate our technology platform. With accelerating revenue growth, an expanding customer base and strengthened balance sheet, we believe we are building the commercial foundation to scale Cyabra and create long-term value for shareholders," Mr. Brahmy concluded.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue increased by 39% to a record $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Growth was driven primarily by new customer wins, which contributed approximately $0.7 million of revenue during the quarter, together with increased revenue from existing customers. These gains were partially offset by customers that did not renew their contracts during 2026.

Cost of revenue increased to approximately $0.3 million, compared to $0.2 million in the prior-year period, reflecting higher revenue levels.

Gross profit increased by 39% to approximately $1.5 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, while gross margin remained approximately 84%, demonstrating the scalability of the Company's software platform.

Research and development expenses increased by 12% to approximately $2.1 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher payroll and personnel-related costs, together with increased software and cloud infrastructure investments supporting continued platform innovation.

Sales and marketing expenses declined by 10% to approximately $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher personnel-related costs, reflecting continued operating discipline while supporting commercial growth.

General and administrative expenses slightly increased to approximately $1.3 million from approximately $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher payroll, insurance, travel, and facility-related expenses.

Operating loss improved to approximately $3.1 million, compared to approximately $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher gross profit and lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by continued investment in personnel.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was approximately $3.4 million, compared to approximately $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily from higher personnel-related costs, as well as increase in non-cash finance expenses, partially offset by increase in gross profit, and a decrease in share-based payment expenses.
