SoundHound AI Reports Record Q1 Revenue of $44.2 million, Up 52%
Launches OASYS as the gold standard agentic platform to revolutionize the way businesses interact with customers across every channel and touchpoint
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--SoundHound AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOUN), a global leader in voice and agentic AI, today reported its financial results for the first quarter 2026.
“SoundHound started the year strong with our top line growing 52%. Excluding the impact of all acquisitions, revenue was up 88% in our core automotive and IoT AI vertical, highlighting incredible demand across all pillars of our business,” said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO and Co-founder of SoundHound AI. “Our launch of OASYS and our planned acquisition of LivePerson will bring the world’s first self-learning agentic AI platform to one of the most robust enterprise footprints in the entire conversational AI sector.”
Financial Highlights
•First quarter reported revenue was $44.2 million, an increase of 52% year-over-year
•First quarter GAAP gross margin was 31.1%; non-GAAP gross margin was 49.7%
•First quarter GAAP net loss was $(25.0) million; non-GAAP net loss was $(26.6) million

•GAAP results include a gain from the calculated fair value of contingent acquisition liabilities where future earnout shares are marked-to-market on a quarterly basis based on the company’s stock price. Non-GAAP measures exclude this non-operating/non-cash impact.
“We had a strong start to the year, delivering undeniable value for our end customers across multiple channels and a growing number of industries," said James Hom, CFO and Co-founder of SoundHound AI. "Our rapid innovation positions us for scale while setting us up for massive cost benefits in future years.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are not historical facts, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our expected financial performance, our ability to implement our business strategy and anticipated business and operations, the anticipated closing of our pending acquisition of LivePerson, and guidance for financial results for 2026 and 2027 giving effect to the acquisition of LivePerson. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. As a result, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties impacting SoundHound’s business including, our ability to successfully launch and commercialize new products and services and derive significant revenue, our market opportunity and our ability to acquire new customers and retain existing customers, our ability to close the acquisition of LivePerson in our expected timeframe or at all, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from our recent acquisitions and our pending acquisition of LivePerson, the ability of our recent acquisitions and, upon closing, our acquisition of LivePerson, to be accretive on the company's financial results, and those other factors described in our risk factors set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. We do not intend to update or alter our
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the company’s financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP earnings per share.
The company believes that providing this non-GAAP information in addition to the GAAP financial information allows investors to view the financial results in the way the company views its operating results. The company also believes that providing this information allows investors to not only better understand the company's financial performance, but also, better evaluate the information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
As such, the company believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides the reader with useful supplemental information that allows for greater transparency in the review of the company’s financial and operational performance.
The company defines its non-GAAP measures by excluding certain items:
The company arrives at non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin by excluding (i) amortization of intangibles (including acquired intangible assets), (ii) stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, and (iii) acquisition-related costs
The company arrives at adjusted EBITDA by excluding (i) total other income/(expense), net, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense (including acquired intangible assets), (iv) amortization of capitalized commissions, (v) stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, (vi) change in fair value of contingent acquisition liabilities, and (vii) acquisition-related costs.
The company arrives at non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share by excluding (i) depreciation and amortization expense (including acquired intangible assets), (ii) amortization of capitalized commissions, (iii) stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, (iv) change in fair value of contingent acquisition liabilities, (v) change in fair value of derivative, (vi) acquisition-related costs.
Reconciliations of GAAP to these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. When analyzing the company's operating results, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as substitutes for the comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
To the extent that the company presents any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, the company does not present a quantitative reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (or otherwise present such forward-looking GAAP measures) because it is impractical to do so.
