Kodiak AI reported third-quarter 2026 results for the period ended September 30, 2026. Revenue rose to $2.97 million from $770,000 a year earlier, but the operating loss widened to $50.4 million, and the company posted net income of $27.4 million only because of a $78.2 million non-cash gain on the fair value of common stock warrants.

Key points

  • Loss from operations was $50.4 million versus $30.0 million a year earlier; non-GAAP loss from operations was $41.6 million.
  • Net income of $27.4 million compared with a net loss of $269.9 million in Q3 2025, driven by the warrant fair value gain.
  • Free cash flow was negative $38.0 million, and cash and marketable securities totaled $113.6 million at quarter-end.
