July 26, 2017 at 4:06 PM EDT

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Brightcove Inc. (Nasdaq: BCOV), the leading provider of cloud services for video, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

"Brightcove reported second quarter financial results that exceeded the high end of our revenue guidance but fell short of our profitability expectations due primarily to additional investments that were made during the second quarter to support one of our strategic customers. We remain on track to return to sustainable adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter," said Andrew Feinberg, acting Chief Executive Officer of Brightcove.

Feinberg added, "During the second quarter, we delivered another strong bookings performance, driven by our expanded product portfolio, and we remain on track to achieve our mid- to high-teens bookings growth target for the year. We are delivering significant value to our customers, which gives us confidence that our continued innovation and increased focus on go-to-market execution will drive improved operational performance and long-term shareholder value."

Merger-related expenses include fees incurred in connection with closing an acquisition in addition to fees associated with the retention of key employees.
