The company said recurring revenue grew 5% to $7.2 million and non-recurring revenue jumped 73% to $3.2 million, and it confirmed its 2026 outlook targeting Anti-Piracy EBITDA above $3 million. The announcement was distributed by [Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261026232912/en/).\n\n## Verimatrix Returns to Growth on License Sales\n\nVerimatrix, a provider of user-centric security solutions for connected devices and content, reported the quarter on an Anti-Piracy scope after selling its Extended Threat Defense product line to the Belgian company Guardsquare in February 2026. The company said 2025 comparatives were restated accordingly.\n\nNon-recurring revenue of $3.2 million was driven by license sales of $1.7 million, compared with $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, with the company citing momentum among customers in India and Latin America. Recurring revenue of $7.2 million included subscription revenue of $3.9 million, up 5%, and maintenance revenue of $3.3 million, up 7%. Over nine months, Anti-Piracy revenue was $31.6 million, a decline of 3% from the comparable 2025 period.\n\n\"Verimatrix delivered a standout third quarter: revenue grew 20% to $10.4 million, with every region contributing and new and existing customers alike adopting more of our solutions,\" said Laurent Dechaux, Chief Executive Officer of Verimatrix.\n\nGuardsquare opened its first Asia-Pacific office in Singapore on October 1, 2026, to serve financial services, healthcare, retail, and government sectors, with revenue in the region growing 50% year on year, according to Cfotech.\n\n## Verimatrix's Subscription ARR and Divestiture Records\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Verimatrix completed the sale of its Extended Threat Defense product line to Guardsquare in February 2026 as part of its refocus toward Anti-Piracy services and subscription-based offerings. The same records show the divested business generated about 90% of revenue at the time of the December 2025 agreement, and that Verimatrix's full-year 2025 revenue was $46.5 million, a 19% decline from $57.2 million in 2024.\n\n## Verimatrix's Kaltura Partnership and First-Half Results\n\nOn September 3, 2026, [Kaltura](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000ub/kaltura) and Verimatrix announced a strategic partnership to enhance security for OTT and Cloud TV services, combining Kaltura's Cloud TV platform with Verimatrix's DRM and anti-piracy solutions, according to Stock Titan. Kaltura and Verimatrix also announced a partnership integrating Verimatrix's DRM and security into Kaltura's Cloud TV platform, available via Kaltura's Marketplace, according to Sports Video Group.\n\nIn July 2026, Verimatrix reported an 11% decline in first-half anti-piracy revenue, with adjusted EBITDA falling to $1.9 million from $2.8 million a year earlier, reflecting lower license sales after a prior-year contract boost, according to Investing.com. Telecompaper reported that Verimatrix expected full-year EBITDA growth while Q2 revenues dropped 20%.\n\n## Verimatrix's Next Reporting Dates\n\nVerimatrix said it will report full-year 2026 revenue and results on March 11, 2027, after market close. First-quarter 2027 revenue is scheduled for April 23, 2027, the Annual General Meeting for June 10, 2027, and first-half 2027 revenue and results for July 23, 2027.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
