BOSTON, MA (October 29, 2015) Brightcove Inc. (Nasdaq: BCOV), a leading global provider of cloud services for video, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Brightcove reported strong third quarter financial results that exceeded expectations on both the top and bottom lines, which were highlighted by a return to non-GAAP profitability a quarter earlier than expected, said David Mendels, Chief Executive Officer of Brightcove. We are seeing exciting proofpoints that our go-to-market strategy and enhanced product portfolio, which is designed to enable customers to leverage online video to drive better business results, is working in both our media and digital marketing businesses.

Mendels added, We are at the epicenter of several positive macro trends that are shaping our industry - the evolution of consumers and businesses using video; the proliferation of devices; the transitioning away from Flash to HTML5; the challenge of ad blockers and enabling ad-supported business models; and the wide adoption of digital marketing technology. We are uniquely positioned to capitalize on these trends as we help our customers harness video to drive business results.
