Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The preliminary financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2026 set forth under Item 7.01 below is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Estimated Preliminary Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

Set forth below are certain estimated and unaudited preliminary financial results and other information of Red Violet, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three months ended June 30, 2026. These estimates are based on the information currently available to the Company and are subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures. The Company has provided estimates, rather than specific amounts, because these results are preliminary and subject to change. The Company’s financial closing procedures for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not yet complete and, as a result, the Company’s actual results may vary from the estimated preliminary results presented here.

These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full interim or annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Further, the Company’s preliminary estimated results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these estimated preliminary financial results.

The preliminary financial results presented below have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed agreed-upon procedures with respect to these estimated preliminary financial results. Accordingly, Grant Thornton LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

The following are the Company’s estimated preliminary financial results and key operating metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2026:

(1) See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to their most comparable GAAP measures for additional information.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Our management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends of the Company. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure based on GAAP, excluding interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, and write-off of long-lived assets. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

The following is a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted EBITDA:

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), which statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believes,” “should,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning.
