Verra announced a significant financial turnaround in its first 2026 stakeholder update webinar, underscoring the organization’s stability and resilience.
The nonprofit reduced its net loss from $19 million in 2024 to less than $1 million in 2025, an extraordinary year-over-year improvement that reflects sharper financial discipline and renewed operational focus.
In the webinar, Verra CEO Mandy Rambharos said: “When I joined Verra, restoring financial stability was among my most urgent priorities. In 2025, we made some very tough decisions. But those decisions led to a real course correction.”

In 2025, despite a softer market-wide issuance environment, Verra saw close to double-digit year-over-year revenue growth, exceeding $30 million in total revenue.
Development work, including grants, became a meaningful contributor to the nonprofit’s revenue model, an area Verra expects will continue to grow in 2026.
On the cost side, the organization reduced annual expenses by approximately one-third, which also contributed to a cash-neutral position year-over-year.
While Rambharos emphasized that these figures were unaudited and final numbers would be shared with the publication of the organization’s annual report, she said: “We’re confident in the story these preliminary figures tell about our operations and future.”
