Financial Summary

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Q1 revenues grew 2.1% year-on-year to $106.0 million, extending the positive growth trend delivered through the second half of 2025. This performance was underpinned by good growth in the B2D segment, which was +4.7% year-over-year, with strength across the Demand Generation and Branding product lines. The I&A segment reported a 3.9% revenue reduction in the quarter, primarily due to lower volumes in the go-to-market strategy consulting. Both segments delivered a year-over-year improvement in segment operating income.

Net losses narrowed to $70.8 million (net loss margin 66.7%) compared to $523.4 million for the same period in 2025 (net loss margin 503.8%). This included a $45.0 million technical non-cash goodwill impairment as compared to $459.1 million technical non-cash goodwill impairment in Q1 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $7.4 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period in 2025, an increase of 27.4% year-over-year. This reflected a combination of operating leverage from the growth in revenues and cost efficiencies from the Combination Plan, which outweighed the impact of increased investment in product development and general cost inflation. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 6.9% compared to 5.6% for the same period in the prior year.

The balance sheet remains strong, with $47.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter and with less than half ($120.1 million) of the Company's $250.0 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility utilized.

New Operating and Reporting Segments

Following completion of the Combination Plan, Informa TechTarget now operates through two reportable segments, Brand to Demand ("B2D") and Intelligence & Advisory ("I&A").

The B2D segment provides products and services that help clients raise awareness for their brand, establish thought leadership in the marketplace, build consideration and generate demand for sales. Our B2D products and services leverage our deep market expertise and a wealth of proprietary market and permissioned membership data. This enables us to create custom content and analyze purchase intent with precision from actively engaged enterprise technology and business professionals. Our primary clients include product marketers, brand marketers, demand marketers, partner marketers, industry marketers, field marketers and field sales professionals.

The I&A segment provides products and services that inform and shape the corporate strategy, market strategy, product strategy and go-to market strategy of our clients. Our I&A products and services are underpinned by a depth of market expertise and experience and a wealth of proprietary market and permissioned membership data that is used to deliver market intelligence, strategic analysis, go-to-market and other strategic advisory services. Our primary clients are engaged in corporate strategy & development, strategic business development, product management and product marketing.

Reiterated 2026 Growth Outlook

Following the completion of our Combination Plan in 2025, the priority for 2026 is to return Informa TechTarget to growth.

The business has scale and breadth in a $20 billion addressable market, providing an opportunity to establish ourselves as an indispensable partner to the technology industry, and capture an increasing share of customer wallets. This is reflected in our revenue growth ambitions for 2026, which do not assume any improvement in market conditions.

We are reiterating our guidance for Adjusted EBITDA growth to within a range of $95.0 million to $100.0 million, marking a further improvement in our Adjusted EBITDA margin. We expect Q2 2026 to deliver further progress towards achieving these full year targets.

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, May 7, 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.
