The information set forth under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

| **Item 7.01** | **Regulation FD Disclosure** |

---

In order to maximize flexibility with respect to its capital structure and growth prospects, the Company previously designated certain of its subsidiaries, including Vegas.com, LLC, as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" under the Company's first lien credit facility, dated June 17, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Facility"), pursuant to the terms thereof.

In addition, the Company has recently been engaged in confidential discussions with an ad hoc group comprised of term loan lenders under the Credit Facility regarding a potential refinancing transaction with respect to the Company's first lien term loan. In connection therewith, certain members of the ad hoc group entered into confidentiality agreements with the Company. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company agreed, as and when provided therein, to publicly disclose certain information provided by the Company and its representatives to such members in connection with such a transaction (the "Cleansing Material"). The Company is now satisfying its obligations under such agreements by disclosing the Cleansing Material with this report. The Cleansing Material, which is set forth on Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, includes the material terms of (i) the Company's most recent bona fide proposal to the ad hoc group and (ii) the ad hoc group's most recent bona fide proposal to the Company, in each case with respect to a transaction. As of the date of this report, the Company is no longer continuing its discussions with the ad hoc group. The Company remains actively engaged in negotiations with its other lenders under the Credit Facility.

The Cleansing Material was prepared by the Company using then-available information solely to facilitate a discussion with the ad hoc group, was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The Cleansing Material should neither be regarded nor relied upon as an indication that the Company or any third party considers the Cleansing Material to be a reliable prediction of future events. The Cleansing Material includes certain values that were prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not the result of, and do not necessarily represent, actual valuations, estimates, forecasts, or projections of the Company or any third party and should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any third party has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the accuracy of the Cleansing Material or undertakes any obligation to publicly update or revise the Cleansing Material to reflect circumstances existing after the date on which it was prepared or conveyed or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Cleansing Material are shown to be incorrect. No assurance can be given that any transaction with the ad hoc group, the Company's other lenders under the Credit Facility, or any other person will occur.

The information set forth under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2 hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

#### Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act regarding future events and trends and the future results of the Company and its subsidiaries. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "can," "continue," "could," "design," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "goal," "intend," "likely," "may," "plan," "project," "propose," "seek," "should," "target," "will" and "would," as well as similar expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends or do not relate to historical matters, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations. While the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and the Company's statements should not be read to indicate that it has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions, or results, and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that can be difficult to predict and/or are outside of the Company's control. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company's press releases and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report (or, in the case of statements incorporated by reference herein, as of the date of the incorporated statement). Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

#### No Offer or Solicitation
This report does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be any such offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or would be unlawful.

## Exhibit 99.1

#### Exhibit 99.1

#### Vivid Seats Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

**CHICAGO, IL – May 5, 2026** – Vivid Seats Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAT) ("Vivid Seats" or "we"), a leading marketplace that utilizes its technology platform to connect millions of buyers with thousands of ticket sellers across hundreds of thousands of events each year, today provided financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Our first quarter performance reflects strong execution and meaningful progress against our Fiscal 2026 priorities with results at or above the high end of our guidance," said Lawrence Fey, Chief Executive Officer of Vivid Seats. "We delivered sequential growth in GOV and Adjusted EBITDA along with substantial cash generation in the quarter. The improvements we are seeing are important steps as we pursue a return to growth over the course of 2026 and beyond."

#### First Quarter 2026 Key Financial Highlights

• Marketplace GOV of $612.4 million

• Revenues of $125.8 million

• Net loss of $14.6 million

• Adjusted EBITDA of $9.5 million

#### Key Business Metrics & Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measure

We use the following key business metrics and non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to evaluate our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe this information is useful to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as management.

The following table summarizes our key business metrics and non-U.S. GAAP financial measure for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Three Months Ended March 31, | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2026 | 2025 |
| Marketplace GOV<sup>(1)</sup> | $612366 | $820359 |
| Marketplace orders<sup>(2)</sup> | 1716 | 2296 |
| Resale orders<sup>(3)</sup> | 82 | 105 |
| Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(4)</sup> | $9486 | $21721 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Marketplace Gross Order Value ("Marketplace GOV") represents the total transactional amount of Marketplace orders processed on our online platform during a period,
 inclusive of fees, exclusive of taxes, and net of event cancellations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, event cancellations negatively impacted Marketplace GOV by $9.0 million and $15.5 million, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Marketplace orders represent the total volume of Marketplace segment transactions processed on our online platform during a period, net of event cancellations.
 During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Marketplace segment experienced 29,434 and 42,353 event cancellations, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Resale orders represent the total volume of Resale segment transactions processed on a given platform (including our own) during a period, net of event
 cancellations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Resale segment experienced 467 and 885 event cancellations, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). We believe adjusted
 EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations and serves as a useful measure for making period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. See "*Adjusted EBITDA*" below for more information, including a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
 measure.

#### 2026 Financial Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2026, Vivid Seats anticipates:

• Marketplace GOV in the range of $2.2 billion to $2.6 billion

• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $30.0 million to $40.0 million\*

------

\* We calculate forward-looking adjusted EBITDA based on internal forecasts that omit certain information that would be included in forward-looking net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to forward-looking net loss because the timing and/or probable significance of certain excluded items that have not yet occurred and are outside of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Such items could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our future U.S. GAAP financial results.

#### Webcast Details

Vivid Seats will host a webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time today to discuss the first quarter 2026 financial results, business updates, and financial outlook. Participants may access the live webcast and supplemental earnings presentation on the events page of the Vivid Seats Investor Relations website at *investors.vividseats.com/events-and-presentations*.

#### Adjusted EBITDA

We present adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, because it is a key measure used by analysts, investors, and others to evaluate companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by management to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful for understanding, evaluating, and highlighting trends in our operating results and for making period-to-period comparisons of our business performance because it excludes the impact of items that are outside of our control and/or not reflective of ongoing performance related directly to the operation of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all amounts associated with our operating results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and specifically excludes certain recurring costs such as: income tax expense (benefit); interest expense – net; depreciation and amortization; sales tax liabilities; transaction costs; equity-based compensation; litigation, settlements, and related costs; loss on asset disposals; change in fair value of derivative asset; foreign currency loss (gain) – net; severance compensation; change in fair value of the Intermediate Warrants (as defined below); and loss on extinguishment of debt. In addition, other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative tool. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the U.S. GAAP amounts that are excluded from our presentation of adjusted EBITDA.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
