The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 10, 2026. As discussed in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We founded Klaviyo in 2012 to provide businesses of all sizes with powerful technology that captures, stores, analyzes, and predictively uses their own data to drive measurable, high-value outcomes. Today, Klaviyo enables over 205,000 businesses around the globe to efficiently drive revenue growth by making it easy to bring their first-party data together and use it to create and deliver highly personalized, omnichannel consumer experiences at scale. Our platform combines our proprietary data, intelligence, and action layers into one vertically-integrated solution with advanced machine learning and AI capabilities and over 350 integrations, enabling businesses to create and store unified consumer profiles, derive new insights, and rapidly segment their consumers.
Klaviyo began as a database designed for speed, flexibility, and unlimited data storage. The Klaviyo Data Platform (“KDP”) generates unified, highly granular consumer profiles populated with data from customers’ own systems and over 350 third-party integrations, and provides customers user-friendly ways to track new types of data, sync data in and out of Klaviyo at scale, and drive revenue growth. Building upon our robust data infrastructure, we developed tools, initially focusing on marketing automation, where we revolutionized email practices. Our innovation shifted the industry paradigm away from batch and blast practices with a fast, data-rich marketing tool. In addition to our email offering, we now incorporate text messaging and WhatsApp channels, Reviews, Klaviyo Service, Klaviyo Analytics, and others.
In February 2025, we announced Klaviyo B2C CRM, establishing Klaviyo as a unified CRM built for B2C brands and positioning Klaviyo to address a critical gap in the market: providing consumer brands with a system designed for their unique, high-volume, fast-paced needs across marketing, service and analytics. In September 2025, we launched Marketing Agent and Customer Agent, establishing Klaviyo as the AI-first B2C CRM. In June 2026, we announced the public beta of Composer, our next generation agent for marketing and analysis. Taken together, this is a natural evolution of our journey – from a leading marketing automation platform to a comprehensive consumer engagement solution. Powered by the KDP and AI, we combine marketing, service, analytics, and our data platform into a single solution designed to meet the high-volume, fast-paced needs of our customers.
Klaviyo Service is an AI-powered customer service offering that integrates with marketing and data to help businesses provide seamless customer support via Customer Hub, Customer Agent and Helpdesk. Marketing Analytics gives brands real-time AI-powered insight into customer and purchase behavior so they can take action faster. Our Advanced KDP offering unlocks advanced features for even more powerful ways to track, transform, cleanse, and analyze data as well as run more advanced reporting and predictive analytics to drive revenue growth for our customers. These offerings leverage Klaviyo’s unified platform to deliver an integrated, AI-first customer experience that enhances automation, personalization, and efficiency across channels.
Today, our customers primarily operate within the retail and eCommerce vertical. Due to the flexibility and adaptability of our technology, we have also seen organic growth from customers in other verticals, such as education, events and entertainment, restaurants, and travel, as well as from B2B companies. As of June 30, 2026, our platform had efficiently scaled to over 205,000 customers. See the section titled “Key Performance Metrics – Customers” for additional information on how we define customers.

We generate revenue through the sale of subscriptions to our customers for the use of our platform. Our subscription plans are tiered based on the number of active consumer profiles stored on our platform and the number of emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages sent as well as tickets and conversations executed through Klaviyo Service. We currently permit our customers to send unlimited push notifications, which are included as part of our email subscription plan. Active consumer profiles are identified profiles that can be reached via at least one enabled marketing channel in Klaviyo; this means the profile is not suppressed, either by revoking consent or being rendered undeliverable. The vast majority of our subscription plans today are monthly.
Our land-and-expand strategy aligns our success with that of our customers. As our customers’ businesses grow, they utilize more active consumer profiles and send more emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages, which naturally increases their usage of our platform. Our revenue also expands when our customers add additional marketing channels, such as text messaging, WhatsApp messaging, and mobile push and additional use cases, such as Customer Agent, Composer, Marketing Analytics, and Advanced KDP, or when their other companies, business units, and geographies start using our platform.
Factors Affecting Our Future Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including the following factors:
Growth in New Customers
Attracting new customers to our platform is a key driver of our revenue growth strategy. We have successfully grown our retail and eCommerce customer base and believe we have significant room to expand within this vertical as well as expand further into other industries, including education, events and entertainment, restaurants, wellness, and travel as well as with B2B companies. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to innovate, the effectiveness and pricing of our new and existing offerings and capabilities, and the success of our selling and marketing efforts.
Expansion of Revenue From Our Existing Customer Base
We believe our product-led growth strategy enables us to efficiently expand penetration within our existing customer base. We focus on expansion in three primary ways. First, as our customers increase their usage of our platform through the number of active consumer profiles they store and email, text messages and WhatsApp messages they send, they move to higher subscription tiers. Second, we cross-sell additional use cases (e.g. Customer Agent, Marketing Analytics, etc.) and marketing channels (e.g. text messaging and WhatsApp) to customers who started on our platform with our email offering. Finally, we offer our platform to our customers’ other brands, business units, and geographies. Going forward, our ability to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our solutions and the ability of our customers to attract new consumers. We expect these three forms of revenue expansion to continue in the future.
Growth with Larger Customers
When we first launched our platform, we intentionally focused on serving entrepreneurs and SMBs based on the need we saw for a simple and easy-to-use, yet powerful solution for customers in this category, and the large market opportunity within this group of customers. As our customers have scaled and become mid-market companies and larger enterprises themselves, their success with Klaviyo has attracted more interest from similarly sized businesses that are looking to drive better engagement with their consumers. Our ability to continue to move up-market is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to further adapt our platform to the needs of larger accounts, the effectiveness of our sales team, and pricing.
29
International Expansion
We believe we have significant expansion opportunities in international markets. We started by serving customers in North America and, in 2019, we expanded our operations to London, England to penetrate the European region. In 2022, we opened our office in Sydney, Australia to capitalize on the opportunities in Asia Pacific. In 2024, we expanded our presence in the European region by adding operations in Dublin, Ireland. In 2025, we continued our expansion into the Asia Pacific and European regions by adding operations in Singapore and France, respectively. In 2026, we further expanded our North American presence by adding operations in Canada. We have already experienced significant growth with international sales outside of the Americas accounting for 36.8% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We also continue to expand our product offerings to better serve the international market. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we offer text messaging capabilities in more than 20 countries, and we offer our platform in English, French, German, Portuguese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish (Mexico), and Polish. We believe that the introduction of additional languages to our platform increases our efficacy and ease of use in other regions. We also currently only bill in U.S. Dollars, and we believe that adding additional currencies to our platform will help us further our international expansion efforts.
Investment in Innovation and Product Development
Since our inception, we have been focused on product innovation, seeking to create what we believe is the best software solution for our customers. We originally launched our platform with email messaging as our first marketing channel. Since then, we have successfully added other marketing channels, such as text messaging, mobile push, and WhatsApp messaging, and additional use cases, such as Customer Agent, Composer, Marketing Analytics, and Advanced KDP. We have also introduced AI features that provide customers with AI-powered tools to streamline data segmentation, create and orchestrate campaigns, and drive better engagement, including our Composer and Customer Agent offerings as well as our MCP Server capability.
Our continued success depends on our ability to sustain product and technology innovation to continue delivering value to our customers. As technology and consumer preferences change, we believe that our ability to drive continuous product innovation will be critical to attract and retain customers and drive revenue growth.
Increased Adoption of Our Text Messaging and WhatsApp Messaging Offerings
We have seen notable success in the expansion of our platform with our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings. Once customers adopt our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings, they typically grow their usage over time as they gain comfort and confidence in the new channel. Our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings have higher associated communication sending costs, and as the number of text messages and WhatsApp messages sent by our customers increases, we expect our gross margin to decline modestly. Text messaging and WhatsApp messaging are particularly concentrated in the fourth quarter of each year due to the holiday shopping season, and as a result, we expect our gross margin to be most heavily impacted in that quarter. This gross margin impact could be partially offset by gaining further leverage on costs with our increased scale, increased usage of higher margin products by our customers, and ongoing efforts to drive infrastructure efficiency. We believe we will see our overall gross profit dollars increase as customers send more text messages and WhatsApp messages if our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings continue to gain traction.
Expansion into New Industry Verticals and Use Cases
As more customers use our platform, we are seeing organic growth from customers in other verticals, such as education, events and entertainment, restaurants, and travel, as well as from B2B companies. While we started with consumer engagement as our initial use case in the retail and eCommerce vertical, we see a large opportunity into other products and verticals. Without an active sales motion, we have attracted customers from verticals other than retail and eCommerce, which indicates the strong interest and applicability of our platform to new verticals. We continue to explore ways to serve these new verticals more intentionally. We intend to continue actively investing in addressing new industry verticals and product use cases.

Key Performance Metrics
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 of ARR. We calculate our number of customers generating over $50,000 of ARR (as defined below) as those customers that have an average ARR of greater than $50,000 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 of ARR 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 is an indicator of our ability to grow the number of customers that are exceeding this ARR threshold, 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.
As of June 30, 2026, we had 4,477 customers generating over $50,000 of ARR, compared to 3,291 customers generating over $50,000 of ARR as of June 30, 2025, representing growth of 36% year-over-year.
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.
As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, our NRR was 109% and 108%, respectively. The increase in this metric from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 was largely driven by expansion of existing customer plans and cross-selling additional offerings.
Klaviyo Attributed Value. We define Klaviyo Attributed Value (“KAV”) as the amount of revenue our customers generated through orders placed by consumers within a specified period of time after a message is sent using our platform, which in the case of email is five days from when the message is sent, and in the case of text messages and WhatsApp messages is twenty-four hours from when the message is sent. For email, the message also needs to be opened or clicked in order for the transaction to fall within our definition. KAV excludes orders placed with customers that do not opt-in to sharing data on placed orders, orders for which we cannot determine the currency or value, or unusual orders that appear to us to be anomalies. Since our definition of a customer does not include persons or entities that use our platform on a free trial basis, any revenue generated through orders placed with these persons or entities is also excluded from our definition
31
of KAV. We do not net chargebacks or sales refunds from our calculation of KAV. If a customer leaves Klaviyo, we stop counting that customer’s KAV after their last contracted month. We believe KAV serves as a measure of the return-on-investment that we help generate for our customers and illustrates the value our platform can drive to our customers, which we believe enhances our ability to maintain existing customers and attract new customers. We use KAV as an internal estimate to track the value we drive to customers through our platform. KAV is an operational measure, does not represent revenue earned by us, and does not directly correlate to our pricing, revenue, or results of operations. Further, KAV is not a forecast of future revenue, and investors should not place undue reliance on KAV as an indicator of our future or expected results.
Seasonality
Generally, demand for our services increases during the fourth quarter as our customers run more marketing campaigns and deploy marketing spend as a result of increased consumer spending patterns during the holiday shopping season. This is specifically prominent within the retail and eCommerce sector in which the majority of our customers operate today. Given our revenue model allows our customers to scale usage as needed, our sequential revenue growth has been historically stronger in the fourth quarter of each year compared to the revenue growth we see in other quarters. Our customers utilize the text messaging offering in particular during the holidays; as such, to the extent that the text messaging offering grows in proportion to our other channels, we expect that we would see further seasonality. While our profile-based pricing structure helps reduce the impact of seasonality on our revenue, we believe seasonality may continue to impact our quarterly results.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
A significant majority of our revenues are derived from sales of subscriptions, which are comprised of fees paid by customers to access our cloud-based software platform for storing first-party consumer data and using it to create and deliver personalized and targeted consumer experiences across digital channels. A small portion of our revenue is currently derived from professional services. For more information on how we recognize our revenues, see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue primarily consists of cloud-based infrastructure costs, outbound communication sending costs, employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation expense related to our customer support team, amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs, and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology.
We expect our cost of revenue to increase in dollar amount as we continue to invest in our platform infrastructure and support, acquire new customers, and drive existing customers to expand their usage of our platform.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit represents revenue, less all cost of revenue.
We expect our gross profit to increase over time due to an increase in revenue. We expect our gross margin to decline modestly in the near term as the volume of text messages and WhatsApp messages sent through our platform increases and as our cloud-based infrastructure costs and outbound communication sending costs increase as our customers increase usage of our platform and capabilities. This gross margin impact could be partially offset by gaining further leverage on costs with our increased scale, increased usage of higher margin offerings by our customers, and ongoing efforts to drive infrastructure efficiency.
32
Selling and Marketing
Our selling and marketing costs primarily consist of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation; sales commissions and partnership expenses for revenue sharing agreements, including to Shopify, other commerce platform partners, and agency partners; costs associated with advertising and marketing activities; and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology. Sales commissions are considered an incremental cost to obtain contracts with customers and these costs are deferred and amortized over the expected benefit period. On July 28, 2022, we entered into a collaboration agreement and strategic partnership with Shopify pursuant to which we issued warrants to Shopify (the “Shopify Warrants”), in exchange for promotion of our marketing services with customers within the Shopify ecosystem. In accordance with relevant accounting policies, we recognize a prepaid marketing expense in connection with vesting of the Shopify Warrants. This prepaid marketing expense represents the probable future economic benefit being amortized over a seven-year expected benefit period and is recorded based on the fair value of the warrants on the grant date.
We expect to continue to make investments in our selling and marketing organization, and expect selling and marketing expense to remain our largest operating expense in dollar amount. Selling and marketing expense may fluctuate from period to period depending on the extent and timing of our marketing initiatives. We expect selling and marketing expense to increase in dollar amount but decrease as a percentage of revenue over the longer term. In the short term, we expect selling and marketing costs to increase as we increase headcount in our go-to-market team, grow into new markets, and pay more in partnership fees to Shopify and other partners as we continue to grow.
Research and Development
Our research and development costs primarily consist of employee-related costs associated with research and development staff, including payroll, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology. We capitalize a portion of our research and development costs that meet the criteria for capitalization of internal-use software. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
We believe continued investment and innovation in our platform, capabilities, and offerings are important for our growth and, as such, expect our research and development costs to continue to increase in dollar amount but remain consistent as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and amount of these expenses.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation in general corporate functions, such as procurement, accounting and finance, tax, legal, project management, and human resources, as well as allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology. Credit card processing fees are also part of general and administrative expenses.
We incur expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses to comply with the rules and regulations governing public companies, such as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and expenses for legal, audit, insurance, investor relations, and related professional services. Further, we expect an increase in dollar amount of credit card processing fees in line with the expected increase in revenue for the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future but to generally decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the longer term as we scale our business. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and amount of our general and administrative expenses.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of income and dividends earned from our cash deposits held in interest-bearing accounts and money market funds.
33
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced an international tax framework that provides for a global minimum tax of 15% for large multinational companies. The framework and guidance do not have a material impact on our effective rates for income taxes or cash taxes paid, due to the safe harbor relief during the transition period. We continue to closely monitor developments.
Segments
We operate our business through one reportable segment, as well as one business activity, providing software that brings first-party consumer data together and uses it to create and deliver highly personalized consumer experiences across digital channels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our primary sources and uses of liquidity, including cash balances on hand and cash flows from operations.
Since our inception through June 30, 2026, we have financed our operations primarily through payments received from our customers and sales of equity securities, including the completion of our IPO in September 2023. As of June 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaling $833.4 million, with such amounts held for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents were comprised of $605.0 million in money market funds.
Our primary cash needs are for personnel-related expenses, selling and marketing expenses, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses, and outbound communication sending costs.
Based upon our current levels of operations, we believe our operating cash flows provide sufficient liquidity to support liquidity and financing needs for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to continue to meet these requirements and obligations will depend on, among other things, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue and cash flow from operations, and our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully. Additionally, our cash flow generation ability is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors, and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate cash flow from operations in an amount sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs.

Cash Management
We manage our operating cash management activities through banking relationships with our domestic and international subsidiaries and all of our cash requirements were serviced by the operating cash flows of our business. We diversify our cash deposits across a variety of well-established financial institutions based on ratings from nationally recognized rating organizations to reduce our exposure to counterparty and concentration risk.
We expect a continued increase in our cash balances as our business continues to grow. We expect to continue to diversify our cash management strategy to primarily include money market funds, highly-liquid debt instruments of the U.S. government and its agencies, senior corporate bonds, and commercial paper to reduce our global exposure on banking deposits.
Share Repurchase Authorization
On March 2, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $500.0 million of its issued and outstanding shares of Series A common stock. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time
42
to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or other means, including pursuant to 10b5-1 plans, or any combination of the foregoing, and in compliance with applicable securities laws and other applicable requirements. As part of the Share Repurchase Program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with a third-party investment bank (the “Dealer”) to repurchase $100.0 million of shares of its Series A common stock. Under the ASR Agreement, on March 3, 2026, the Company paid the Dealer $100.0 million and received an initial delivery of 4,307,869 shares of Series A common stock at a price of $18.87 per share, representing approximately 75% of the total value of shares to be received under the ASR Agreement.
On April 10, 2026, as final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Company received a final delivery of 1,039,238 shares of Series A common stock at a price of $16.40 from the Dealer. The shares received upon initial delivery and final settlement were recorded as treasury stock, resulting in a reduction to stockholders’ equity. The share repurchase pursuant to the ASR Agreement resulted in an estimated excise tax liability of $0.2 million, which was recorded as a cost of the repurchase transaction and reflected as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. In total, the Company repurchased approximately 5,347,107 shares of Series A common stock under the ASR Agreement at a price of $19.14 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s Series A common stock during the term less a discount.
As of June 30, 2026, pursuant to non-overlapping 10b5-1 plans entered into with third-party investment banks, the Company had repurchased 15,132,757 shares of Series A common stock at a weighted average price of $15.68 per share. The shares repurchased were recorded as treasury stock, resulting in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $162.7 million remained available for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program.
Lease Obligations
We enter into various noncancellable lease agreements for certain office space and equipment used in the normal course of business. Our noncancellable lease obligations as of June 30, 2026 were $140.0 million, with $23.9 million payable within 12 months.
