Gary Nugent, Chief Executive Officer, Informa TechTarget, said:

Second Quarter and First Half 2026 Financial Results
First half year revenues were $222.2 million, broadly flat (-0.7%) compared to the prior year, reflecting modest year-over-year growth in the first quarter (+2.1%) followed by a modest decline (-3.2%) against the stronger comparative in the second quarter. Q2 revenues were $116.1 million (Q2 2025: $119.9 million). The market backdrop has created some challenges in the month-by-month revenue performance with customers taking longer to make decisions and commit to sales and marketing expenditures. Against this backdrop, we continue to focus on improving our market proposition, investing in our products and services across the product lifecycles, differentiating our offer to customers and positioning the Company to take advantage of any improvement in the market environment. Over the first half-year, revenue in the B2D segment grew by +1.2% year-over-year while the I&A segment reported a decline of -5.5% primarily due to lower consulting revenues.
Net losses in the second quarter narrowed to $21.7 million (net loss margin 18.7%) compared to $398.7 million for the same period in 2025 (net loss margin 332.4%). This included no technical non-cash goodwill impairment in Q2 2026, which was down from $382.2 million in Q2 2025. On a first half basis, net loss improved to $92.5 million (net loss margin 41.6%) compared to $922.1 million (net loss margin 411.9%) in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting a substantially lower non-cash goodwill impairment charge, ongoing realization of merger-related cost synergies, and disciplined cost management.
For the first half, Adjusted EBITDA was broadly flat year-on-year at $22.4 million (H1 2025: $23.1 million). Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $15.1 million, down from $17.3 million for the same period in 2025 reflecting a combination of increased product investment and general cost inflation being partly offset by cost synergies. The Adjusted EBITDA margin remained stable at 10.1% for the first half year compared to 10.3% for the same period in the prior year.
The balance sheet remains strong, with $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter and with $120.1 million of the Company’s $250 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility utilized.
Reiterated 2026 Growth Outlook
The Company remains focused on its strategy and continues to target full year growth in Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $95 million and $100 million.
The Company’s financial outlook statements are based on current expectations. The preceding statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “forward-looking statements” below. The Company has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and variability of earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, and foreign exchange gains or losses, if any, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP net income (loss). Because the Company cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) is not available without unreasonable effort. Such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP net income (loss). For more information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics” below.
Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will discuss these financial results in a conference call and webcast on Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) which will include brief remarks by management followed by questions and answers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics
This release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Loss Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Segment Operating Income, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures which are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP.
“Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, and foreign exchange gains or losses, if any. As of the second quarter 2025, we have revised our Adjusted EBITDA calculation to exclude the effects of foreign exchange gains and losses, if any, and we have recast comparative prior period amounts accordingly.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.
“Adjusted Free Cash Flow” means the change in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, further adjusted to add back restructuring costs (not including stock-based compensation costs), costs related to acquisitions of businesses, net of cash required, and expenses related to acquisition and integration costs.
“Free Cash Flow” means the change in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.
“Net Debt” at a period end means cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments less financial debt obligations including related party revolving lines of credit.
“Total Segment Operating Income” means the total income generated from each of the segments less costs attributable to the segments prior to allocating corporate level expenses, interest, and taxes.
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Segment Operating Income, may not be comparable to the definitions as reported by other companies. We believe that these measures provide relevant and useful information to enable us and investors to compare our operating performance, and financial position in the case of net debt, using an additional measurement. We use these measures in our internal management reporting and planning process as primary measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as well as potential acquisitions.
The components of Adjusted EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which our operating managers are responsible and upon which we evaluate their performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in presentations to our Board of Directors. Furthermore, we intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables, except that full reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and financial impact of certain significant items. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other expenses, asset impairment, and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our recent acquisition of Former TechTarget and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.

Direct expenses in both operating segments represent costs directly incurred in generating revenues, including editorial and consulting costs, third-party and advertising spend, freelance contractor expenses, website hosting and other direct IT costs, sales commissions, event and venue expenses, directly attributable travel and related costs, and bad debt provisions.
Indirect expenses in both operating segments reflect costs not directly attributable to revenue generation. These consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, office and facility expenses and related overheads, accounting, legal and other professional fees, product development expenditure, and amortization and depreciation attributable to the segments.
Unallocated Direct expenses include selected marketing and promotional costs, commissions, travel and entertainment expenses, bad debt provisions, and other similar items that are not attributable to individual operating segments. Accordingly, these expenses are excluded from the assessment of segment performance.
Unallocated Indirect expenses primarily include personnel and related costs of central functions, facility and related overhead expenses, and accounting, legal, and other professional fees. These costs are not considered in assessing operating segment performance.
