## Verimatrix Returns to Growth on License Sales

Verimatrix, 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.

Non-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.

"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.

Guardsquare 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.
