Earnings source - 30 paragraphs
Operator

Greetings. Welcome to the Informa TechTarget Q2 2026 financial results conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. Please note this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Charlie Rennick. Thank you, Charlie. You may begin.

Charlie Rennick

Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. The speakers joining us here today are Gary Nugent, our Chief Executive Officer, and Dan Noreck, our Chief Financial Officer. Before turning the call over to Gary, we would like to remind you that in advance of this call, we posted a press release to the investor relations section of our website and furnished it on an 8-K. You can also find these materials on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. A replay of today's conference call will be made available on the investor relations section of our website. Following opening remarks from Gary and Dan, they'll be available to answer questions. Any statements made today by Informa TechTarget that are not historical, including during the Q&A, may be considered forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, are based on assumptions and are not guarantees of our future performance.

Charlie Rennick

Actual results may differ materially from our forecast and from these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent periodic report filed on Form 10-Q and the forward-looking statement disclaimer in our earnings release filed earlier today. These statements speak only as of the date of this call. Informa TechTarget undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events that may arise after this conference call, except as required by law. Finally, we may also refer to certain financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of certain of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, to the extent available without unreasonable efforts, accompanies our press release. With that, I'll turn the call over to Gary.

Gary Nugent

Thank you, Charlie. Good afternoon, everyone. As always, we appreciate you taking the time to join us today. I'm pleased to share our second quarter and first half 2026 results, which reflect progressive execution of our strategy and the fundamentals of our business continuing to strengthen amidst a market environment that remains challenging. Dan will run through the numbers in detail more shortly. In summary, first half revenues were broadly flat year-over-year at approximately $222.2 million, reflecting the modest growth in Q1 and a modest decline against a stronger comparative in Q2. At the half year, I&A revenues declined by 5.5% year-on-year, reflecting softer consulting bookings. Intelligence subscription ACV, the annualized contract value, is broadly flat, with double-digit growth in our AI data center and cloud portfolio offset by weakness in the telecoms market.

Gary Nugent

At the half year, B2B revenues grew by 1.2% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first half were also relatively stable and displayed a similar pattern to the revenue performance between Q1 and Q2 and reflected a reduction in gross margins as a result of changing product mix and inflation, offset by strong improvement in our ongoing operational year-on-year, benefiting from the delivery of cost savings and synergies. As we discussed last quarter, the B2B technology market continues to be challenged by two forces. First is an uncertain macro that's causing customers to be more deliberate in their spending decisions. Second is the acceleration of AI, which is changing how buyers research and make buying decisions and how sellers therefore raise awareness and establish thought leadership and ensure consideration and demand for their business.

Gary Nugent

Despite this, our go-to-market strategy to focus on our largest clients and the highest growth markets is yielding benefits in terms of revenue growth in those areas and a greatly expanded opportunity pipeline as we roll into the second half. We also enter the second half of the year with an enhanced portfolio of products and services, including AI features to our existing products, new products, and indeed, new commercial partnerships. Our audience membership and membership activity continues to grow as decision-makers and influencers seek trusted sources of knowledge to shape buying decisions. Our timeliness, quality, and productivity all improved year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter as the investments and initiatives that we have made to make ourselves easier to do business with and easier to work for began to deliver.

Gary Nugent

Finally, as the evolving dynamic of this new AI-enabled answer engine economy takes shape, our role as the indispensable partner to B2B technology companies is becoming even more strategically relevant. During the quarter, we continued to see many of the same customer dynamics we discussed on our Q1 call. Technology vendors continue to focus on and prioritize AI-related research and development over their go-to-market investments. As such, our customers' go-to-market budgets remain subdued, and therefore growth is to be had by growing market share and taking share of wallet. Our clients are all trying to do more marketing with the same or less money whilst looking for strategic partners to help them navigate a changing world. This environment, I believe, ultimately plays into our strengths as we leverage the breadth and scale of our offering to grow market share and increase our share of wallet.

Gary Nugent

We continue to see positive momentum in our largest clients, with year-on-year revenue growth as they increasingly recognize the value of the company's breadth and scale. These larger strategic relationships remain an important area of focus. My favorite example from the first half really is being a deepening relationship we have with a major global software company. In 2025, this relationship was already a material one, but limited to us supporting their demand generation activity in the United States. Through the tremendous efforts of our dedicated account team, and that relationship has grown 303% year-on-year, expanding to Europe, Middle East and Africa, and leveraging our content expertise. More broadly, we are encouraged by the significant expansion of our opportunity pipeline across all product segments.

Gary Nugent

This growth reflects the investments that we've made in the product roadmap and the relevance of our value proposition, and it gives us greater confidence as we move through the second half of this year. Our investment in product innovation continues to bear fruit. Through the first half of the year, we brought a whole series of new and enhanced capabilities to market that are directly aligned with the needs of our clients. We launched our new Nurture as a Service product on the BrightTALK platform. This capability strengthens the value of BrightTALK Channels, our video platform offering, by enabling clients to further nurture webinar leads with minimal additional effort, helping convert audience interest into more qualified opportunities before they hand off to sales.

Gary Nugent

Off the success we had in positioning NetLine as a demand offering for the volume end of the demand market, we enter H2 even stronger with our integration partnership with Demandbase in play and real momentum with our new NetLine HQL, the highly qualified lead product, which is now a multimillion-dollar product with over 50 clients. In the quarter, we also announced our partnership with Sherpa, rounding out our end-to-end value proposition to partner professionals. This is one of those hot markets that we've talked about, and we're religiously focused on as over 65% of all value in the B2B technology industry goes through partners, through distributors, value-added resellers, systems integrators, and managed service providers. It is an essential strategic foothold. Since the launch in March, we've experienced high demand for our AI visibility and geotopic planning services as our clients address traffic disruption on their own branded websites.

Gary Nugent

As we explained in the Q1 call, we do not expect these services to be material revenue generators in and of themselves, but to be demand generators for our broader content portfolio. In Q2, we saw our studio content bookings up double-digit year-over-year. Later this month, we'll also release our new DaaS intent offering. This offering complements our platform offering for those clients that are seeking direct access to our rich intent data. During this beta program, we were delighted to successfully integrate our first two clients via our native AI Model Context Protocol or MCP. Taken together, these products and platform developments are really important as they further strengthen our customer proposition, broaden our addressable opportunity, and demonstrate how we are applying AI in practical ways that improve the value proposition to our clients.

Gary Nugent

On the audience membership side of the business, we continue to focus on quality, engagement and visibility. As AI augments how buyers search for and consume information, our editorial authority, our trusted specialist brands, and our first-party audience relationships are becoming even more important. Audience membership trends remains healthy despite the ongoing broader traffic disruption across the digital media industry. With both our active membership up year-over-year and notably member activity up significantly quarter-over-quarter. For existing and prospective audience members, we launched our second-generation AI search across our network of publications. Our new AI-powered search is driving audience circulation across the entire network, and in the first few weeks, more than a third of search clicks have led readers to different publications than the one they started on.

Gary Nugent

With 78% of our click-throughs happening when a member engages in content from across the network instead of filtering onto a single publication. We continue to adapt our content creation and distribution strategies to support AI visibility while maintaining editorial excellence that has long differentiated our brands. We're encouraged to see that the two key performance indicators, citations and cited pages, trending positively in the second quarter. That editorial excellence continues to be recognized externally. Year to date, our trusted original journalism has received 57 prestigious industry awards. We view this recognition as more than just industry validation. In an environment where AI-generated content is proliferating, trusted original journalism, specialist expertise, and direct audience relationships are becoming more valuable. That reinforces the strategic importance of our audience platform and the relationships it builds, and the quality of the data that it generates.

Gary Nugent

We also continue to apply automation and AI across the business to improve productivity, quality and execution. As we said last quarter, our approach is to adopt a mindset of continuous improvement here, and we continue to see opportunities to simplify workflows, accelerate delivery, and improve the customer experience across sales, marketing, research, editorial, and operations. A good example of this is the excellent work by our delivery operations team to improve the elapsed time from receipt of a content syndication lead gen order to its delivery by over 30% quarter-on-quarter, thus accelerating the time to value for our clients. At the same time, we remain disciplined on cost. First half Adjusted EBITDA margin was stable year-over-year, even as we continued to invest in product development and absorb inflation, with cost savings and synergies helping to offset those pressures.

Gary Nugent

This matters because our financial model is built to scale. As revenues grow and our product and commercial initiatives gain traction, we expect operating leverage in the model to become more visible. That's a key reason why we remain focused on our ability to deliver year-on-year growth in revenues, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA for the full year. The more we learn of this new AI-enabled answer engine economy and the impact that it's having on how buyers research and make buying decisions and how sellers market their wares, the clearer our role and the indispensable nature of it becomes. The impact on the buying journey is clear. There is a new synthetic member of the buying group. Like the more junior members of buying groups, they are less a decision-maker and more an influencer, but they are important nonetheless.

Gary Nugent

As B2B marketers, you must reach and influence this member in addition to, not instead of, the human members who still need to be educated and convinced. However, to do that, it is vitally important that others are talking about you. A brand that is talking about itself carries little weight in this new world. Validation and verification matters, as such, we expect that clients will recast their marketing strategy and dollars from owned platforms where they talk about themselves, to earned and paid platforms. It's our ability to offer a respected analyst voice, a trusted editorial voice, and our ability to amplify our peer customer and partner voices that makes us indispensable in this new world. In summary, Q2 reflected disciplined execution and strategic progress in a challenging market.

Gary Nugent

As a result, we're in a stronger position today than we were six months ago and this time last year. Our pipeline has expanded, our membership is growing and more active, our new AI-enabled products and capabilities are showing encouraging early traction. Our priorities remain clear. Grow our top-line revenues year-on-year, build bookings and backlog momentum that will see that growth accelerate into 2027, and deliver upon our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026. I'll turn the call over to Dan to discuss our financial results and guidance in more detail, then we'll be happy to take your questions.

Dan Noreck

Thanks, Gary, good afternoon, everyone. In the second quarter of 2026, we delivered revenue of $116.1 million, compared to $119.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year decline of 3.2%. For the first half of 2026, revenue was $222.2 million, broadly flat compared with the prior year period. The quarterly decline reflects the customer behavior Gary described earlier. The market remains cautious, we are seeing customers take longer to make decisions and commit to sales and marketing expenditures. While this has created some challenges in the month-to-month revenue performance, we continue to invest in improving our customer proposition and positioning the business to benefit from any improvement in the market environment. Looking at the segments, Brand to Demand revenue was $85.9 million in Q2, down 1.7% year-over-year, while Intelligence & Advisory revenue was $30.3 million, down 7.1% year-over-year.

Dan Noreck

For the first half, Brand to Demand revenue grew 1.2%, while Intelligence & Advisory revenue declined 5.5%, primarily due to lower consulting revenues. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $15.1 million, compared with $17.3 million in the prior year period, with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13%. For the first half, Adjusted EBITDA was $22.4 million, compared with $23.1 million in the same period last year. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.1%, stable compared with 10.3% in the first half of 2025. The first half margin performance reflects the combination of increased investment in product development and general cost inflation, offset in part by cost synergies. We continue to manage expenses carefully while investing in areas that support growth, including AI-enabled product innovation, data capabilities, and go-to-market execution.

Dan Noreck

On a GAAP basis, net loss in the second quarter narrowed to $21.7 million, compared with a net loss of $398.7 million in Q2 2025. The prior year period included a technical non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which is not included in the current quarter. Turning to the balance sheet, we ended the second quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $45.8 million. At quarter end, $120.1 million of our $250 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility was utilized. Operating cash flow for the first half of 2026 was $3.3 million, Adjusted free cash flow was $20 million. As we have discussed previously, free cash flow can be affected by seasonal dynamics, working capital timing, and the phasing of integration and restructuring activity, we remain focused on improving cash generation as the business scales. Turning to guidance, we are reiterating our 2026 outlook.

Dan Noreck

While the market environment remains challenging, we remain focused on our strategy and continue to target full-year revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA growth, with Adjusted EBITDA expected to be between $95 million and $100 million. Our targets are supported by several factors, the size and quality of our pipeline, the launch of new products, partnerships, and AI-enabled capabilities, and the operating leverage we expect to see as revenue scales through the second half. With that, we are now happy to answer your questions. Operator, will you please open up the line for Q&A?

Operator

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please while we poll for questions. Our first question is from Jason Kreyer with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 4

Hey, guys. This is Thomas on for Jason. Thanks for taking the questions. You talked about customer spending challenges. I was hoping if you could expand just a bit more on that. Are there certain pockets or verticals that are seeing these emerging headwinds more than others, or is it pretty broad-based in your view?

Gary Nugent

It's a good question. Certainly, I think it's fair to say, as I mentioned, that anybody that's in data center, in cloud, in artificial intelligence, and indeed maybe in cybersecurity, I think those are buoyant markets. Certainly, we saw a little bit of software in what you might have called the SaaS software market. I mentioned earlier on that telecommunications and service providers as a sub-segment of the marketplace is soft and was in decline from an ACV perspective. The other thing I would say is the distinction being maybe between the kind of U.S. market and international markets. I think the U.S. market remains resilient and the macro concerns and some of the kind of geopolitics are more impacting those international markets.

Speaker 4

That's helpful. Thank you. Kind of more on the product side, you talked about the new launch of that product on BrightTALK. What specifically are you seeing so far in terms of the client adoption or early performance versus your expectations?

Gary Nugent

Well, it's a little bit early because it's just come out of the beta program where we had about half a dozen to a dozen customers testing for us. This product is specifically at the behest of many of our larger customers who struggle to nurture demand that gets generated before it gets handed off to our client's sales force. BrightTALK as the video platform has also been a strong performer for the business as marketers look to leverage more video content in the demand generation activity. It's early days. We saw good response and adoption during the beta program, and we're confident about the program during the rest of this year.

Speaker 4

That's excellent. Then maybe last one from me. Can you help us understand just a little bit more, I know you touched on it a bit, but a little bit more on the confidence and the reiteration of the growth guidance this year? It seems like somewhat of a lofty expectation relative to kind of what we saw this quarter. If you could help us kind of frame that a bit, that would be great.

Gary Nugent

Yeah, certainly. We track on a very regular basis four sales velocity metrics. They're the usual things that you would expect. It's really about the opportunity count and the weighted value of the pipeline that we're carrying into the second half of this year being materially up year-over-year and materially up from the kind of January 1st opening position in 2026. We're also seeing a slight increase in average deal values as part of that as well. We're seeing our kind of win rates and average sales cycle trends holding firm, actually. With all of those available to us, that's what's giving us the confidence. Backlog as well rolling into the second half is broadly flat year-over-year.

Speaker 4

Great. Thank you, guys.

Operator

This now concludes our question and answer session. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your participation. This does conclude today's teleconference. Please disconnect your lines and have a wonderful day.

First-half adjusted EBITDA was $22.4 million, down from $23.1 million a year earlier, while the margin was 10.1%, compared with 10.3% in the prior-year period. Chief Financial Officer Dan Noreck said first-half margin performance reflected increased product-development investment and general cost inflation, partly offset by cost synergies. The company is continuing to invest in AI-enabled product innovation, data capabilities and go-to-market execution while managing expenses, he said. → Sandisk Just Delivered a Blowout Quarter—Here's Why the Stock Is Falling On a GAAP basis, second-quarter net loss narrowed to $21.7 million from $398.7 million in the year-earlier period. Noreck noted that the 2025 period included a technical, non-cash goodwill impairment charge that did not recur in the latest quarter. Nugent said the company’s strategy of focusing on larger clients and higher-growth markets has produced revenue growth among its biggest customers and expanded its opportunity pipeline heading into the second half. He cited one global software customer whose relationship with the company expanded beyond U.S. demand-generation work into Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as content services. Revenue from that relationship grew 303% year over year, according to Nugent. The company identified data center, cloud, AI and cybersecurity as relatively buoyant markets. Nugent said telecommunications and service providers remained soft, contributing to a decline in subscription annualized contract value in that area. He also said the U.S. market has remained resilient, while macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns have had a greater effect internationally. During the first half, the company launched or expanded several offerings: Nurture as a Service: A BrightTALK platform capability designed to help clients further develop webinar leads before transferring them to sales teams. NetLine HQL: A highly qualified lead offering that Nugent said had become a multimillion-dollar product serving more than 50 clients. Demandbase integration: A partnership supporting the company’s NetLine demand-generation offering. Sherpa partnership: A partnership aimed at the technology partner ecosystem, including distributors, value-added resellers, systems integrators and managed service providers. DaaS intent offering: A planned data-as-a-service product intended to provide customers direct access to the company’s intent data. The company said it had integrated its first two beta customers through its native AI Model Context Protocol. Nugent said the BrightTALK nurture product had received a favorable response during a beta program involving roughly six to 12 customers, though he characterized the commercial rollout as early stage. The company said it is using AI both in its products and internal operations. Its AI visibility and geotopic planning services, launched in March, have generated demand for the company’s broader content portfolio rather than being expected to become material standalone revenue sources, Nugent said. Studio content bookings rose by double digits year over year in the second quarter, he added. Informa TechTarget also introduced a second-generation AI search function across its publication network. In the first few weeks after launch, more than one-third of search clicks led readers to a publication different from the one where their searches began, while 78% of click-throughs occurred when members engaged with content across the network rather than within a single publication. The company said active membership rose year over year and member activity increased significantly from the first quarter. It also said citations and cited pages trended positively in the second quarter, while its journalism received 57 industry awards year to date. Operationally, Nugent said the delivery operations team reduced the elapsed time from receiving a content-syndication lead-generation order to delivery by more than 30% quarter over quarter. The company ended the quarter with $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Of its $250 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility, $120.1 million was utilized at quarter-end. Operating cash flow for the first half was $3.3 million, while adjusted free cash flow was $20 million. Noreck said cash flow can be affected by seasonal patterns, working-capital timing and the timing of integration and restructuring activities. He said management remains focused on improving cash generation as the business grows. Informa TechTarget reiterated its 2026 outlook, continuing to target full-year revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth. The company expects adjusted EBITDA of between $95 million and $100 million. Nugent said management’s confidence is supported by a pipeline whose opportunity count and weighted value are materially higher than both the prior-year level and the company’s position at the start of 2026. He also cited a slight increase in average deal values, stable win rates and sales-cycle trends, and backlog that is broadly flat year over year entering the second half.

Our opportunity pipeline is expanding significantly as we focus our go-to-market efforts on our largest customers and our highest growth markets." He added: "As we move through the second half our focus is on converting this growing pipeline, further enhancing our product portfolio, and driving profitable growth through the operating leverage inherent in our business model." Business Highlights Financial Performance: Broadly flat year-over-year revenues in the first half of 2026, reflecting continuing delivery of our strategy in a subdued market. Within this, Q2 2026 revenue was $116.1 million (Q2 2025: $119.9 million), down 3.2% year-over-year, and with a net loss of $21.7 million (net loss margin 18.7%) reduced from $398.7 million in Q2 2025 (net loss margin 332.4%); Adjusted EBITDA margin stable: Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $15.1 million (Q2 2025: $17.3 million), up from $7.4 million in Q1 2026, delivering an Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 13.0% (Q2 2025: 14.4%). First half Adjusted EBITDA margin broadly consistent year-over-year with product investment and inflation largely offset by cost savings and synergies; Commercial Momentum: Our strategy to focus on our largest customers and highest growth markets is delivering positive results, including year on year revenue growth in those areas and expanding pipeline opportunities; New Product launches and Partnership Momentum: BrightTALK Nurture as a Service, Netline HQL, Studio AI Visibility Audit, GEO topic planner, Demandbase for Demand Marketers and Sherpa for Partner Marketers are just some of the initiatives launched in the first half, broadening the Company's growth opportunities and value proposition; AI Innovation: Expanded AI-enabled offerings with new search and intent intelligence capabilities designed to improve audience engagement, content discovery, and enhanced integrations via our first commercially available MCP; Audience and Membership Growth: Active membership and activity of members continued to grow year on year despite traffic disruption, supported by specialist media brands, editorial relevance, and ongoing focus on distribution and AI visibility; Balance Sheet Strength: Cash and cash equivalents of $45.8 million at period end, with $120.1 million of the Company’s $250 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility utilized; 2026 Growth Guidance Reiterated: The Company continues to target full year growth in Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, with Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $95.0 million to $100.0 million. Financial Summary 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. Those wishing to participate via the webcast should access the call through Informa TechTarget’s investor relations website at investor.informatechtarget.com.

All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business MetricsThis 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.

Omdia: Semiconductor Market Surpasses $300bn Quarterly Revenue in 1Q26 as Memory Market Shifts Historical Patterns

Business Wire
LONDON, June 10, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a record-setting year for the semiconductor industry, the start of the new year has continued the momentum, as semiconductor revenue grew 27% in 1Q26 from 4Q25 to reach $319bn, according to new research form Omdia. Memory revenue drove the increase, rising over 80% sequentially in 1Q26 from 4Q25. Since Omdia began tracking the semiconductor market at a quarterly level in1Q02, this 27% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) growth is the highest observed. The market has now experienced three consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth, with 2Q26 expected to continue this pattern. This puts semiconductor revenue on track to surpass $700bn in 1H26. AI-related demand remains strong, while memory supply/demand imbalances continue to be among the leading trends in the semiconductor market. Memory market reaches another new high Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and NAND flash memory (NAND) revenue continued strong growth, nearly doubling in revenue in one quarter. Strong AI demand has affected both the DRAM and NAND markets as average selling prices (ASPs) have risen sharply. The result is that these two components accounted for over 40% of all semiconductor revenue in 1Q26, much greater than the long-term average of around 20% revenue share. Within the memory market, NAND was a particularly strong contributor to growth. NAND revenue reached just under $48bn in 1Q26, rising 96% QoQ as pricing increased across the market. NAND ASPs increased 95% sequentially, driven by sustained AI and data center demand alongside ongoing supply constraints. With utilization remaining high and supply recovery limited by technology transitions, yield learning, and product mix challenges, NAND market momentum is expected to continue through 2Q26, supporting further revenue growth and price increases. Outside of memory, growth is more consistent with historical patterns While the memory market has broken from historical patterns, that is not the case for the rest of the semiconductor market. Removing memory IC revenue shows that the 1Q26 semiconductor market grew, but much more modestly. Non-memory semiconductor revenue grew just over 2% QoQ in 1Q26. Historically, revenue for both the overall semiconductor market and the non-memory portion declines in Q1 by approximately 4%.

Historically, revenue for both the overall semiconductor market and the non-memory portion declines in Q1 by approximately 4%. Some components performed at typical seasonal rates; Microcontrollers (MCUs), discretes, and optical markets saw slight to mid-single digit QoQ declines for the first quarter of the year. However, other components, especially those in the AI and data center ecosystem, outperformed the typical decline in revenue in the first quarter. This gave the non-memory side of the semiconductor market modest growth. Outlook Strong growth is expected to continue in 2Q26 as memory revenue continues to drive the semiconductor market forward. Quarterly growth is expected to be lower than in the first quarter, but still enough to result in more than 20% sequential growth for the semiconductor market. "Four consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth for the market show the strength of the current demand for semiconductors," said Clifford Leimbach, Practice Leader at Omdia. "This expected growth would bring 1H26 to over $700bn, well on track to surpass the $1tn threshold this year.

Chief Financial Officer Dan Noreck said the company is now reporting results through two operating segments: Brand to Demand and Intelligence and Advisory. → Light Speed Returns: Corning Cashes In on NVIDIA Growth Brand to Demand, which accounted for about 70% of total revenue, provides services that help clients raise brand awareness, engage buyers and target qualified prospective customers. Noreck said the segment grew revenue by about 5% year over year, with particular strength in the company’s Unified Demand offering. Intelligence and Advisory, which represented roughly 30% of total revenue, includes subscription services tied to intelligence products, first-party data, analyst research content and advisory services. Revenue in that segment declined about 4% from the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in go-to-market strategic consulting, Noreck said. → Years in the Making, AMD’s Upside Movement Has Just Begun Both segments improved profitability, measured by segment operating income, and both posted improved operating margins, according to Noreck. Noreck said adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 6.9% in the quarter from 5.6% a year earlier. He attributed the improvement to continued cost discipline, streamlined operations and early integration efficiencies, while noting that the company continued to invest selectively in growth, product innovation and go-to-market capabilities. On a GAAP basis, the company reported a net loss of $70.8 million. Noreck said that figure included a $45 million “technical non-cash impairment of goodwill,” as well as acquisition and integration costs and other non-cash charges. The company ended the quarter with $47 million in cash and cash equivalents and nearly $130 million undrawn on its $250 million revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of approximately $178 million. Net debt at the end of March was about $72 million, or about 0.8 times adjusted EBITDA for the prior 12 months, which Noreck said was similar to leverage levels at the end of 2025 and 2024. Noreck reiterated the company’s full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $95 million to $100 million. During the question-and-answer session, he said the company was not seeing unusual inflationary pressures that would put that range at risk. Nugent said the quarter unfolded against a backdrop of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, as well as broader digital transformation in business-to-business markets. He said artificial intelligence is changing how buyers conduct research and how sellers try to reach prospects. According to Nugent, technology vendors are generally in good health but continue to prioritize capital toward research and development as they seek to remain competitive in AI. That has subdued investment in go-to-market activities for now, he said, but he described it as a positive future demand indicator because vendors will eventually seek returns on those R&D investments. Nugent said clients are grappling with a shift “from a search engine economy to an answer engine economy,” making it harder for them to raise awareness and generate demand on their own. He said this is increasing the value of partners with direct reach, relationships and influence among potential buyers. The company is also adapting its own audience strategy. Nugent said content creation and distribution now prioritize AI discoverability while maintaining editorial standards. Despite traffic disruption, he said permission membership continued to grow in the low single digits in the first quarter, while active membership in priority personas, including chief information officers and chief information security officers, rose by high single digits. In response to a question from Lake Street Capital’s Bruce Goldfarb about AI search volumes, Nugent said answer-engine traffic converts to membership at a much higher rate than search traffic historically did. He also said search traffic conversion rates have improved, as traffic from search appears to be more qualified. Nugent highlighted several product and market initiatives. He said the company launched its Unified Demand playbook at the beginning of the quarter and that it has been well received by the market. He also said revenue from the company’s strategic focus on its largest customers was up double digits in the quarter. The CEO pointed to work with Tanium, a cybersecurity company, as an example of the company’s integrated go-to-market strategy. Nugent said Tanium used Informa TechTarget’s platform across portal, BrightTALK, content syndication and targeted editorial environments to identify and engage end-market accounts at scale. He said the program delivered more than 5,000 leads and influenced $1.2 billion of pipeline, and that Tanium signed a new two-year deal representing more than a 50% increase in annual investment after the program. The company also added four U.K. media-based brands during the period: Accountancy Age, The CFO, bobsguide and The Global Treasurer. Nugent said the additions expand first-party permission members in financial services and fintech and align with the company’s strategy of extending vertical audiences into new geographic markets. On the product side, Nugent said the company launched the BrightTALK Nurture demand product, with 12 customers piloting the offering in the second quarter. He also cited a commercial partnership and technical integration of the NetLine demand product with the Demandbase account-based marketing platform. The company also launched AI large language model content audit and consulting services to help clients evaluate how discoverable and citable their content is. Nugent said the Omdia AI Search Assistant, launched the prior week, allows clients to submit natural-language queries to the Omdia Knowledge Center and receive answers based on Omdia’s data and analysis, with responses available in more than 70 languages. During the Q&A session, Noreck said churn remains higher at the lower end of the customer range, but added that the company is beginning to see stabilization in that segment. Asked about international trends, Nugent said the environment in Asia-Pacific was “encouragingly optimistic and building,” with demand from APAC companies looking to expand internationally and from large U.S. brands seeking growth in markets such as Japan and Korea. He said the region traded broadly in line with the rest of the business in the first quarter. However, he said customers in the Middle East and Africa had slowed investments and decisions due to the situation in Iran. Responding to a question from Craig-Hallum about software sales and longer-term commitments, Nugent said the multi-year deal environment is not as strong as it was a couple of years ago. He said customers shortened contractual commitments through 2025, and that trend has not picked up in 2026. Nugent also said it is increasingly important for the company to integrate its data directly into customers’ marketing and sales technology platforms, particularly for intent data. He said NetLine continues to perform “incredibly well” and that the company’s analysis found it was not cannibalizing other parts of the business. TechTarget, Inc operates as a specialized media and information services company focused on the technology sector. Through a network of over 140 online channels and dedicated sites covering a wide range of IT topics—from cloud computing and cybersecurity to data analytics and storage—the company delivers targeted content, research, and insights to enterprise technology buyers.

And with that, I will turn the call over to Gary. Gary Nugent: Thank you, Charles, and good afternoon, everyone. As always, we appreciate you taking the time to join us today. I am pleased to share our Q1 2026 results which demonstrate continuing progress with our strategy and our commitment to delivering top- and bottom-line growth on an ongoing sustainable basis. In Q1 2026, we delivered revenues of $106 million, representing a 2% increase year over year, whilst achieving an adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million, an increase of 27% year on year. These results reflect the durability of our business model, a model that is built upon our proprietary first-party market data and our permissioned member data. They are also the reflections of the early returns of our combination program completed in 2025. For today, we also report the results of our two operating segments, Intelligence and Advisory and Brand to Demand, offering deeper insight into the makeup of the business and the key drivers of growth. I see durability as Q1 results and I suspect the remainder of this year are set against a backdrop of ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, in addition to the broader digital transformation that is accelerating across B2B markets as AI changes how buyers are informing their buying journey and how sellers are reaching out and trying to stand out to prospects and customers. I spent much of Q1 and April on the road meeting with clients and colleagues. It is always my favorite thing to do. In the main, our clients, who are B2B technology vendors, are in good health. However, they continue to prioritize capital to R&D investment as they seek to stay current with the AI arms race. This is subduing investment elsewhere for now, specifically in go-to-market. However, as future indication, demand for our businesses is incredibly positive. And ultimately, they will need to seek a return on those R&D investments. Our story of the indispensable partner with the breadth and scale to enable our clients and address their ambitious growth objectives resonates loudly. And it is clear that we are only just scratching the surface in terms of how and where we can help them accelerate their growth and in doing so drive our own growth. The trends we are observing and the needs and wants of our clients directly correlate to our strategic focus. First, our clients are themselves experiencing the impact of the shift from a search engine economy to an answer engine economy. And as such, their ability to raise awareness and generate demand by and of themselves is becoming more difficult. And with that reality, they are increasingly recognizing the value of working with a partner that itself has direct reach and relationships and influence with the prospects and customers. Second, there is a growing realization that better marketing outcomes are achieved when the marketing efforts are aligned and integrated across the lifecycle from strategy through to execution, and that the breadth and scale of TechTarget, Inc. makes us one of the few companies that can deliver value across that lifecycle. This is encapsulated in our unified demand playbook that we launched at the beginning of Q1 and which has been very well received in the marketplace. And finally, we are seeing clients prioritize working with partners that can integrate seamlessly with their sales and their martech landscape and join the dots in terms of attribution to demonstrate measurable performance and return on investment from their marketing investments. Again, that is something that we can provide and are getting increasingly good at, further differentiating us from others. In numbers, revenues from our strategic focus on our largest customers, who are the largest players in the industry we serve, were up double digits as a result of this focus and the investments in products, sales, delivery, and customer success in Q1. Daisy Golota, our new CMO, has gotten her feet well and truly under the table, launching our bold and ambitious marketing strategy designed to raise awareness and generate demand in the broader $20 billion addressable market. As a part of this, we recently leveraged the Forrester B2B Summit in Phoenix to showcase how we are leveraging the breadth and scale of TechTarget, Inc. to partner with our clients and transform their go-to-market and deliver tangible results. One example of this was the work that we have been doing with Tanium. Tanium are a cybersecurity company that helps enterprises manage and protect mission-critical networks. Tanium partnered with TechTarget, Inc. to move beyond a fragmented, siloed marketing approach towards a fully integrated, always-on go-to-market model, choosing us not just as a vendor, but as a strategic partner for our unmatched audience access, high-quality intent data, and ability to influence buying groups before their sales teams are engaged. By activating our platform across Portal, BrightTALK, content syndication, and targeted editorial environments, they were able to precisely identify and engage in-market accounts at scale. The results were substantial. Over 5 thousand leads delivered, equating to $1.2 billion of influenced pipeline, and ROI of over 2.8 thousand x. And importantly, this has translated directly into real revenue growth. As a result, they signed a new two-year deal immediately following the program, representing over a 50% increase in their annual investment. On the subject of our membership, our audience members, as buyers increasingly rely on AI-powered research and zero-click search behaviors, we fundamentally adapted our operational approach to meet them where they are. Our content creation and distribution strategy is now prioritizing AI discoverability while maintaining the editorial excellence and thought leadership that our audiences have come to expect. With a focus on quality over quantity, and engagement over acquisition, this dual focus continued to deliver for us in Q1, with our permissioned membership continuing to grow in low single digits, and our active membership in priority personas such as Chief Information Officers and Chief Information Security Officers up high single digits in the quarter, this all being despite ongoing disruption to traffic. In addition, we added four leading UK media-based brands to our portfolio through the period: Accountancy Age, The CFO, Bob’s Guide, and The Global Treasurer. This expands our first-party permissioned members in the financial services and fintech space, and it is in line with our strategy to grow by extending our vertical audiences into new geographical markets. We are already seeing strong engagement from these new community members. And in recognition of the power and the value of our authoritative, trusted, and original content in the age of AI, our editorial teams recently won three coveted awards at the B2B industry’s Oscars, the Neal Awards, and we have also been shortlisted for 15 awards at the forthcoming ASB Nationals. On the product front, investment in the product pipeline continues to bear fruit. By popular demand, we launched the new BrightTALK Nurture demand product, with 12 customers piloting this new offering in Q2. We also announced to the market the commercial partnership and technical integration of our NetLine demand product with the Demandbase ABM platform. In direct response to the shift from a search-based to an answer-based economy, we have leveraged all of our experience as a digital publisher to launch our AI LLM content audit and consulting services, designed to help clients understand how discoverable and citable content is and to work with them on how to improve upon it. And only last week, we launched the Omnia AI Search Assistant, a further example of how we are leveraging AI technology to improve our products, to improve upon how our customers discover and consume our original authoritative content, and extract maximum value from their subscriptions. The Omnia AI Search Assistant enables our clients to submit natural language queries to the Omnia Knowledge Center and receive answers that are an intelligent composite of all Omnia’s data and analysis. They can also return those answers in over 70 languages, increasing the global applicability of our product. This launch builds upon what were already very encouraging KPIs in the Omnia business, with users, user engagement, and the Net Promoter Score all up double digits in the first quarter. And as we move through to the second and the third quarters, you will see more examples of how we are applying AI technology, specifically conversational interfaces, to our data and content that will improve discoverability, ease consumption, and unlock value for our clients and our members. And in June, our AI search for our audience members will undergo a significant upgrade based upon the lessons learned from the pilot of the past six months. Rather than improving the audience experience, we are also leveraging automation and AI technology and tools extensively across the business to improve upon our productivity and quality in marketing and sales and research and editorial and operations, and our experience is that this is a game of continuous improvement, and we are already banking clear benefits. By way of example, in Q1 our time to first lead for our core demand products decreased by 30% year on year, accelerating time to value for our customers and accelerating time to revenue for ourselves. I think Q1 demonstrates delivery to our plan—financially, strategically, and operationally—growing our revenues and adjusted EBITDA, simplifying and focusing the business, embracing and capitalizing upon the opportunities that AI presents. Our priorities for 2026 are clear: deliver value to our customers and growth for our shareholders. This will give us the momentum and put us in a strong position to continue to invest in innovation and build upon our core strengths of trusted expertise, proprietary market permissioned audience data, and a unified portfolio of products with the breadth and scale to deliver for customers across their lifecycle. We are wholly committed to this plan and to growing revenues and adjusted EBITDA in 2026. I look forward to updating you on our continued progress in the quarters ahead, and now I will turn the call over to Dan to discuss our financial results and guidance in a little more detail, and then we will be happy to take your questions. Daniel T. Noreck: Thanks, Gary, and good afternoon, everyone. In Q1 2026, we delivered revenue of $106 million, representing approximately 2% year-over-year growth compared with 2025. While market demand remains subdued and the environment cautious, our results reflect solid execution and early benefits from our sharpened operating focus following the combination and organizational realignment. As Gary mentioned earlier, we are now reporting our results through two operating segments. In Brand to Demand, or the B2D segment, which represented around 70% of total revenues and is where we generate revenues by providing clients with services that help them raise brand awareness, engage with buyers, and target more qualified potential customers, we saw good revenue growth of around 5% year over year, with particular strength in our unified demand offering. In Intelligence and Advisory, or the I&A segment, which represented around 30% of total revenues and is where we generate revenues primarily through subscription services to our intelligence products including first-party data and specialist analyst research content, as well as advisory services that provide clients with strategic support and bespoke solutions, our revenues were around 4% lower year over year, primarily reflecting a decrease in our go-to-market strategic consulting. Both segments improved profitability in terms of segment operating income, which we define as being revenue less allocated direct and indirect costs but prior to unallocated costs such as central functions, facility, and related overhead expenses. Operating margin also improved for both segments. Encouragingly, we delivered company adjusted EBITDA growth of 27% year over year to $7.4 million, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.9% compared with 5.6% in the prior year. This improvement reflects continuing cost discipline, the streamlining of operations, and the initial realization of integration efficiency following last year’s combination plan, even as we continue to invest selectively in growth, product innovation, and go-to-market capabilities. On a GAAP basis, our net loss narrowed to $70.8 million. This included $45 million of technical non-cash impairment of goodwill, as well as ongoing acquisition and integration costs and other non-cash charges. Turning to the balance sheet and liquidity, we are in a strong financial position. We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $47 million and had almost $130 million undrawn on our $250 million revolving credit facility, giving us liquidity of approximately $178 million. Our net debt at March of around $72 million represented around 0.8x adjusted EBITDA for the prior twelve months, similar to the leverage level at 2025 and 2024. Our free cash flow in the quarter reflected the seasonal dynamics of the business as well as the phasing of integration and restructuring activities from 2025. On an adjusted basis, we delivered meaningful cash flow, demonstrating the attractive underlying cash generation characteristics of our business model. Turning to guidance, we are reiterating our commitment to deliver growth in 2026. To this end, we are maintaining our full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $95 million to $100 million. We are pleased with the progress we have made simplifying the business, improving operational efficiencies, and positioning the company for growth. While the macro environment remains uncertain, we continue to see opportunities to expand customer engagement, increase wallet share, and improve margins as the year progresses. In summary, Q1 represented a solid start to 2026 with revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA improvement, and continued progress integrating the business and sharpening our operating focus. We believe we are well positioned to execute through the remainder of the year and deliver on our financial objectives. As a reminder, our financial model is built to scale efficiently. As we return to growth, every additional dollar of revenue delivers substantial incremental margin, giving us the ability to grow profitability and free cash flows significantly over time. And with that, we are now happy to answer your questions. Operator, will you please open up the line for Q&A? Operator: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. We will now open the call for questions. Once again, that is star one should you wish to ask a question. Your first question is from Bruce Goldfarb from Lake Street Capital. Your line is now open. Bruce Goldfarb: Hi. It is Bruce. Congratulations on the solid quarter, and thanks. So the first is, are there any inflationary pressures in the business that would put your $95 million to $100 million EBITDA guide at risk? Daniel T. Noreck: Bruce, thanks for the question. I do not think we are seeing any out of the ordinary from inflation that would put that at risk right now. We are still very confident, which is why we reiterated the $95 million to $100 million adjusted EBITDA target. Bruce Goldfarb: Great. Thank you. And then how are growing AI search volumes impacting your membership sign-ups and paid subscriptions? Gary Nugent: I will take that one, Bruce. Nice to talk to you. We have certainly seen the shift in traffic and the mix of traffic that we receive as a business as searches become disrupted and answer engines are becoming more prominent. We continue to see that answer engine traffic converts at a much higher rate to membership than search traffic used to. But interestingly, we are also seeing search traffic conversion rates improve as well. I think that is largely as a result of the fact that what we are now getting from search is more qualified. Effectively, what you are beginning to see in an answer engine environment is that it qualifies out people who are not really serious researchers and serious buyers. So whilst traffic may be disrupted and down, because conversion rates are up, we are still seeing solid membership, and therefore our membership is modestly growing. And in particular, the membership and the activity of members who are the key personas is growing quite nicely. Bruce Goldfarb: Thank you. And my next one, how are churn rates trending in the small to medium enterprise market segment? Daniel T. Noreck: Hi, Bruce. So from a churn perspective, we obviously do not show those metrics, but what I would say is that churn is still higher, clearly because our portfolio accounts have grown. So we are seeing a bit more churn at the lower end of the range. But what I would say to that is we are starting to see a stabilization of that, and so it gives us confidence as we look out for the rest of the year as it relates to those particular client segments. Bruce Goldfarb: Great. And my last question, how is business trending internationally in EMEA and APAC? Gary Nugent: I will pick up a little bit of highlights. I spent a couple of weeks on the road; I was actually in APAC traveling through Singapore and then through Shenzhen and Beijing in China before finishing off in Seoul in Korea. I would say that the actual environment was encouragingly optimistic and building. The vast majority of our business in that part of the world is the Intelligence and Advisory business, and there is certainly a huge amount of demand from APAC companies to grow their business internationally and to expand into markets such as the United States and Europe, and that is a great opportunity for us. And similarly, there is still an appetite from big American brands to build their business, particularly in markets like Japan and Korea. So generally speaking, I was actually really encouraged by the demand there, and I would say that the business has been trading in line with the rest of the business in the first quarter, no sort of material in-pattern. The one obvious exception to that is the Middle East and Africa region as a result of the ongoing situation in Iran. There we have definitely seen customers begin to slow down their investments and slow down their decisions. That would make sense. Bruce Goldfarb: Well, thank you. Congrats again on a solid quarter. Thanks for taking my questions. Operator: Thank you. Your next question is from Jason Michael Kreyer from Craig-Hallum. Your line is now open. Analyst: Hey guys, this is Thomas on for Jason. Thanks for taking my questions. I know you touched on it a little bit, but could you give a little more commentary on the environment you are seeing for software sales, particularly like a Priority Engine that has more of a recurring nature to it? Do you feel like tech companies are still sort of hesitant to lock in longer-term deals? Gary Nugent: I might actually pick up on that subject more broadly. I would certainly say that we have definitely seen the multiyear environment is not as strong as it was two years or so ago. That is definitely true. We are seeing customers—and we have said for some time that customers were shortening their contractual commitments—really through 2025, and I do not think that has really picked up in 2026. It is interesting enough in what is potentially an inflationary environment, because usually there is a bit of tension in the marketplace between customers wanting to lock in pricing for multiple years vis-à-vis making those long-term commitments, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. I think generally in terms of commitments to software in the end of course of the marketplace, I have not really seen a lot of change in the customers’ appetite. But one of the things that we have spoken about is the need for us to actually integrate our data directly into our customers’ platforms, especially in the intent space. As customers’ martech stacks and sales tech stacks have become more mature and more settled, it is absolutely imperative that you are able to play nicely with their environment. So you heard us talk about this a lot when we are talking about the investment in the intent product: a lot of our investments are now on the subject of integration, and integration not just with API but also increasingly with MCPs in the AI world. And that is really where I think the game is being played now and the game will be played in the future in 2027. Analyst: Great. That is helpful. And then maybe just one follow-up. With the moves you made to position NetLine in a more down market, does that carry any incremental churn or volatility? Or do you still have pretty good visibility into NetLine production? Gary Nugent: NetLine continues to perform incredibly well for us. It is a very exciting story within the company, and it is going from strength to strength. As we have said, we have done a very thorough, forensic analysis to see whether it was cannibalizing any of the business elsewhere, and actually that is not the case. These are different customers. They are different personas within our existing customers. They are different budget pools. It forms part of the unified demand portfolio, and in actual fact the unified demand story that we are now telling, where we have I think the broadest portfolio of demand products to meet any demand problem a customer might have, is playing really nicely for us.

Earnings source - 46 paragraphs
Operator

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Informa TechTarget First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all lines are in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, we will conduct a question and answer session. If anyone has any difficulties hearing the conference, please press star zero for operator assistance at any time. I would now like to turn the conference call over to Charles Rennick, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Please go ahead.

Charles Rennick

Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. The speakers joining us here today are Gary Nugent, our Chief Executive Officer, and Dan Noreck, our Chief Financial Officer. Before turning the call over to Gary, we would like to remind you that in advance of this call, we posted a press release to the investor relations section of our website and furnished it on an 8-K. You can also find these materials on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. A replay of today's conference call will be made available on the investor relations section of our website. Following the opening remarks from Gary and Dan, they will be available to answer questions. Any statements made today by Informa TechTarget that are not historical, including during the Q&A, may be considered forward-looking statements.

Charles Rennick

These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, are based on assumptions and are not guarantees of our future performance. Actual results may differ materially from our forecast and from these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent periodic report filed on Form 10-Q and the forward-looking statement disclaimer in our earnings release filed earlier today.

Finally, we may also refer to certain financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Charles Rennick

A reconciliation of certain of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures to the extent available without unreasonable efforts accompanies our press release. With that, I'll turn the call over to Gary.

Gary Nugent

Thank you, Charlie, and good afternoon, everyone. As always, we appreciate you taking the time to join us today. I am pleased to share our Q1 2026 results, which demonstrate continuing progress with our strategy and our commitment to delivering top and bottom-line growth on an ongoing sustainable basis. In Q1 2026, we delivered revenues of $106 million, representing a 2% increase year-over-year, whilst achieving an adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million, an increase of 27% year-on-year. These results reflect the durability of our business model, a model that is built upon our proprietary first-party market data and our permission membership data. They are also the reflections of the early returns of our combination program completed in 2025.

Gary Nugent

From today, we also report the results of our two operating segments, Intelligence and Advisory and Brand to Demand, offering deeper insight into the makeup of the business and the key drivers of growth. I see durability as Q1's results, and I suspect the remainder of this year are set against a backdrop of ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition to the broader digital transformation that is accelerating across B2B markets, as AI changes how buyers are informing their buying journey and how sellers are reaching out and trying to stand out to prospects and customers. I spent much of Q1 and April on the road meeting with clients and colleagues. It's always my favorite thing to do. In the main, our clients, who are B2B technology vendors, are in good health.

Gary Nugent

However, they continue to prioritize capital to R&D investment as they seek to stay current with the AI arms race. This is subduing investment elsewhere for now, specifically in go-to-market. As a future indicator of demand for our businesses, it is incredibly positive, as ultimately they will need to seek a return on those R&D investments. Our story of the indispensable partner with the breadth and scale to enable our clients and address their ambitious growth objectives resonates loudly. It's clear that we are only just scratching the surface in terms of how and where we can help them accelerate their growth, and in doing so, drive our own growth. The trends we are observing and the needs and wants of our clients directly correlate to our strategic focus.

Gary Nugent

First, our clients are themselves experiencing the impact of the shift from a search engine economy to an answer engine economy. As such, their ability to raise awareness and generate demand by and of themselves is becoming more difficult. With that reality, they are increasingly recognizing the value of working with a partner that itself has direct reach and relationships and influence with the prospects and customers. Second, there is a growing realization that better marketing outcomes are achieved when the marketing effort is aligned and integrated across the lifecycle from strategy through to execution, and that the breadth and scale of Informa TechTarget makes us one of the few companies that can deliver value across that lifecycle. This is encapsulated in our unified demand playbook that we launched at the beginning of Q1 and which is being very well received in the marketplace.

Gary Nugent

Finally, we're seeing clients prioritize working with partners that can integrate seamlessly with their sales and their MarTech landscape and then join the dots in terms of attribution to demonstrate measurable performance and ROI from their marketing investments. Again, that is something that we can provide and are getting increasingly good at, further differentiating us from others. In numbers, revenues from our strategic focus on our largest customers, who are the largest players in the industry we serve, were up double digit as a result of this focus and the investments in products, sales, delivery, and customer success in Q1. Staci Gullotta, our new CMO, has gotten her feet well and truly under the table, launching a bold and ambitious marketing strategy designed to raise awareness and generate demand in the broader $20 billion addressable market.

Gary Nugent

As a part of this, we recently leveraged the Forrester B2B Summit in Phoenix to showcase how we are leveraging the breadth and scale of Informa TechTarget to partner with our clients and transform their go-to market and deliver tangible results. One example of this was the work that we've been doing with Tanium. Tanium are a cybersecurity company that helps enterprises manage and protect mission-critical networks. Tanium partnered with Informa TechTarget to move beyond a fragmented, siloed marketing approach towards a fully integrated, always-on go-to-market model. Choosing us not just as a vendor, but as a strategic partner for our unmatched audience access, high-quality intent data, and ability to influence buying groups before their sales teams are engaged. By activating our platform across portal, BrightTALK, content syndication, and targeted editorial environments, they were able to precisely identify and engage end market accounts at scale.

Gary Nugent

The results were substantial. Over 5,000 leads delivered, equating to $1.2 billion of influenced pipeline, an ROI of over 2,800 times. Importantly, this has translated directly into real revenue growth. As a result, they signed a new two-year deal immediately following the program, representing over a 50% increase in their annual investment. On the subject of our membership, our audience members, as buyers increasingly rely on AI-powered research and zero-click search behaviors, we fundamentally adapted our operational approach to meet them where they are. Our content creation and distribution strategies now prioritize AI discoverability while maintaining the editorial excellence and thought leadership that our audiences have come to expect.

Gary Nugent

With a focus on quality over quantity and engagement over acquisition, this dual focus continued to deliver for us in Q1, with our permission membership continuing to grow in low single digits and our active membership in priority personas, such as chief information officers and chief information security officers, up high single digits in the quarter. This all being despite ongoing disruption to traffic. In addition, we added four leading U.K. media-based brands to our portfolio through the period. Accountancy Age, The CFO, bobsguide, and The Global Treasurer. This expands our first-party permission members in the financial services and fintech space, and is in line with our strategy to grow by extending our vertical audiences into new geographical markets. We're already seeing strong engagement from these new community members.

Gary Nugent

In recognition of the power and the value of our authoritative, trusted, and original content in the age of AI, our editorial teams recently won three coveted awards at the B2B Industry's Oscars, the Neal Awards. We've also been shortlisted for 15 awards at the forthcoming ASBPE Nationals. On the product front, our investment in the product pipeline continues to bear fruit. By popular demand, we launched the new BrightTALK Nurture demand product, with 12 customers piloting this new offering in Q2. We also announced to the market the commercial partnership and technical integration of our NetLine demand product with the Demandbase ABM platform.

Gary Nugent

In direct response to the shift from a search-based to an answer-based economy, we have leveraged all of our experience as a digital publisher to launch our AI LLM content audit and consulting services, designed to help clients understand how discoverable and citable their content is, and to work with them in how to improve upon it. Only last week, we launched the Omdia AI Search Assistant, a further example of how we're leveraging AI technology to improve our products, to improve upon how our customers discover and consume our original authoritative content and extract maximum value from their subscriptions. The Omdia AI Search Assistant enables our clients to submit natural language queries to the Omdia Knowledge Center and receive answers that are in an intelligent composite of all Omdia's data and analysis.

Gary Nugent

It can also return those answers in over 70 languages, increasing the global applicability of our product. This launch builds upon what were already very encouraging KPIs in the Omdia business, with users, user engagement, and the net promoter score all up double digits in the first quarter. As we move through to the second and the third quarters, you will see more examples of how we're applying AI technology, specifically conversational interfaces to our data and content that will improve discoverability, ease consumption, and unlock value for our clients and our members. In June, our AI search for our audience members will undergo a significant upgrade based upon the lessons learned from the pilot of the past six months, further improving the audience experience.

Gary Nugent

We're also leveraging automation and AI technology and tools extensively across the business to improve upon our productivity and quality in marketing and sales, in research and editorial, in operations. Our experience is that this is a game of continuous improvement, and we're already banking clear benefits. By way of example, in Q1, our time to first lead for our core demand products decreased by 38% year-on-year, accelerating time to value for our customers. Accelerating time to revenue for ourselves. I think Q1 demonstrates delivery to a plan, financially, strategically, and operationally, growing our revenues and adjusted EBITDA, simplifying and focusing the business, embracing and capitalizing upon the opportunities the AI presents. Our priorities for 2026 are clear. Deliver value to our customers and growth for our shareholders.

Gary Nugent

This will give us the momentum and put us in a strong position to continue to invest in innovation and build upon our core strengths of trusted expertise, proprietary market, and permissioned audience data, and a unified portfolio of products with the breadth and scale to deliver for customers across their life cycle. We are wholly committed to this plan and to growing revenues and adjusted EBITDA in 2026. I look forward to updating you on our continued progress in the quarters ahead. Now I'll turn the call over to Dan to discuss our financial results and guidance in a little more detail, and then we'll be happy to take your questions.

Dan Noreck

Thanks, Gary. Good afternoon, everyone. In the first quarter of 2026, we delivered revenue of $106 million, representing approximately 2% year-over-year growth compared with the first quarter of 2025. While market demand remains subdued and the environment cautious, our results reflect solid execution and early benefits from our sharpened operating focus following the combination and organizational realignment. As Gary mentioned earlier, we are now reporting our results through two operating segments. In Brand to Demand or the B2D segment, which represented around 70% of total revenues and is where we generate revenues by providing clients with services that help them raise brand awareness, engage with buyers, and target more qualified potential customers, we saw good revenue growth of around 5% year-over-year, with particular strength in our Unified Demand offering.

Dan Noreck

In Intelligence and Advisory, or the I&A segment, which represented around 30% of total revenues and is where we generate revenues primarily through subscription services to our intelligence products, including first-party data and specialist analyst research content, as well as advisory services that provide clients with strategic support and bespoke solutions, our revenues were around 4% lower year-over-year, primarily reflecting a decrease in our go-to-market strategic consulting. Both segments improved profitability in terms of segment operating income, which we define as being revenue, less allocated direct and indirect costs, but prior to unallocated costs such as central functions, facility, and related overhead expenses. Operating margin also improved for both segments.

Dan Noreck

Encouragingly, we delivered company adjusted EBITDA growth of 27% year-over-year to $7.4 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.9% compared with 5.6% in the prior year. This improvement reflects continuing cost discipline, the streamlining of operations, and the initial realization of integration efficiencies following last year's combination plan, even as we continue to invest selectively in growth, product innovation, and go-to-market capabilities. On a GAAP basis, our net loss narrowed to $70.8 million. This included a $45 million of technical non-cash impairment of goodwill, as well as ongoing acquisition and integration costs and other non-cash charges. Turning to the balance sheet and liquidity, we are in a strong financial position.

Dan Noreck

We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $47 million and had almost $130 million undrawn on our $250 million revolving credit facility, giving us liquidity of approximately $178 million. Our net debt at the end of March of around $72 million represented around a 0.8 adjusted EBITDA for the prior 12 months, similar to the leverage level at the end of 2025 and the end of 2024. Our free cash flow in the quarter reflected the seasonal dynamics of the business, as well as the phasing of integration and restructuring activities from 2025. On an adjusted basis, we delivered meaningful cash flow, demonstrating the attractive underlying cash generation characteristics of our business model. Turning to guidance, we are reiterating our commitment to deliver growth in 2026.

Dan Noreck

To this end, we are maintaining our full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $95 million-$100 million. We are pleased with the progress we've made simplifying the business, improving operational efficiencies, and positioning the company for growth. While the macro environment remains uncertain, we continue to see opportunities to expand customer engagement, increase wallet share, and improve margins as the year progresses. In summary, Q1 represented a solid start to 2026 with revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA improvement, and continued progress integrating the business and sharpening our operating focus. We believe we are well-positioned to execute through the remainder of the year and deliver on our financial objectives. As a reminder, our financial model is built to scale efficiently.

Dan Noreck

As we return to growth, every additional dollar of revenue delivers substantial incremental margins, giving us the ability to grow profitability and free cash flows significantly over time. With that, we're now happy to answer your questions. Operator, will you please open up the line for Q&A?

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question-and-answer session. Should you have a question, please press the star followed by the one on your touchtone phone. If you wish to cancel your request, please press the star followed by the two. If you're using a speakerphone, please lift the handset before pressing any keys. Once again, that is star one should you wish to ask a question. Once again, that is star one should you wish to ask a question. And your first question is from Bruce Goldfarb from Lake Street Capital. Your line is now open.

Bruce Goldfarb

Hi. Hi, it's Bruce. Congratulations on the solid quarter. Thanks for taking my questions. The first is, are any inflationary pressures in the business that would put your $95 million-$100 million EBITDA guide at risk?

Dan Noreck

Bruce, thanks for the question. This is Dan. I don't think we're seeing anything out of the ordinary from inflation that would put that at risk right now. We're still very confident, which is why we reiterated the $95 million-$100 million adjusted EBITDA target.

Bruce Goldfarb

Great. Thank you. How are growing AI search volumes impacting your membership sign-ups and paid subscriptions?

Gary Nugent

I'll take that one, Bruce. Nice to talk to you. Well, I mean, we've talked about this on occasion actually in the past. We've certainly seen the shift in traffic, in the mix of traffic that we receive as a business, as search has become disrupted and answer engines are becoming more prominent. We continue to see that answer engine traffic converts at a much higher rate to membership than search traffic used to. Interestingly enough, we're also seeing search traffic conversion rates improve as well. I think that's largely as a result is that what we're now getting from search is still more qualified.

Gary Nugent

Effectively what you're beginning to see is that the effect of an answer engine environment is that it qualifies out people who are not really serious researchers and serious buyers. Actually the reality is that whilst traffic might be disrupted and down, because conversion rates are up, we're still seeing solid membership and therefore our membership is modestly growing. In particular, the membership and the activity of members who are the key personas is growing quite nicely.

Bruce Goldfarb

Thank you. My next one, how are churn rates trending in small to medium enterprise market segment?

Dan Noreck

Hi, Bruce, this is Dan again. From a churn perspective, obviously we don't show those metrics, but what I would say is that the churn is still higher, clearly because our portfolio accounts have grown. We are seeing a bit more churn at the lower end of the range. What I would say to that is we're starting to see a stabilization of that. You know, it gives us confidence as we look out for the rest of the year as it relates to those particular client segments.

Bruce Goldfarb

Great. My last question, how is business trending, internationally in EMEA and APAC?

Gary Nugent

I'll pick up a little bit, actually. I spent a couple of weeks, I was on the road for some time. I was actually in APAC traveling through Singapore and then through Shenzhen and Beijing and China before finishing off in Seoul in Korea. I would say that actually the environment was encouragingly optimistic and building. I mean, the vast majority of our business in that part of the world is the Intelligence and Advisory business. There is certainly a huge amount of demand from APAC companies to grow their business internationally and to expand into markets such as the U.S and Europe, and that's a great opportunity for us.

Gary Nugent

Similarly, there's still an appetite from big American brands to build their business, particularly in markets like Japan and Korea. Generally speaking, I was actually really encouraged by the demand there. I would say that the business has been trading in line with the rest of the business, actually, in the first quarter. No sort of material difference in pattern. The one obvious exception to that is the Middle East and Africa region, as a result of the ongoing situation in Iran. There we've definitely seen customers begin to just slow down their investments and slow down their decisions.

Bruce Goldfarb

That would make sense. Well, thank you. Congrats again on a solid quarter. Thanks for taking my questions.

Gary Nugent

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question is from Jason Kreyer from Craig-Hallum. Your line is now open.

Thomas Emmel

Hey, guys, this is Thomas on for Jason. Thanks for taking my questions. I know you touched on it a little bit, but could you give a little more commentary on the environment you're seeing for software sales, particularly like a Priority Engine that has more of a recurring nature to it? Do you feel like tech companies are still sort of hesitant to lock in longer term deals?

Gary Nugent

I'm gonna pick up on that subject more broadly. I would certainly say that we've definitely seen the multi-year environment is not as strong as it was a couple two years or so ago. That's definitely true. We're seeing customers, and we've said for some time that customers were shortening their contractual commitments really through 2025, and It's not picked up in 2026. It's interesting in what is potentially an inflationary environment because usually there's a bit of tension in the marketplace between customers wanting to lock in pricing for multiple years vis-à-vis making those long-term commitments. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Gary Nugent

I think generally, in terms of, you know, commitments to software in general across the marketplace, I haven't really seen a lot of change in the customer appetite. But one of the things that we have spoken about and is the need for us to actually integrate our data directly into our customers' platforms, especially in the intent space. As customers' MarTech stacks and sales tech stacks have become more mature and more settled, it's absolutely imperative that you are able to integrate and play nicely with their environment.

Gary Nugent

You heard us talk about this a lot when we're talking about the investment in the intent product, is that actually a lot of our investments are now on the subject of integration and integration, not just with APIs, but also increasingly with MCTs in the AI world. That's really where I think the game is being played now and the game will be played in the future in 2027.

Thomas Emmel

Great. That's helpful. Maybe just one follow-up. With the moves you made to position NetLine in a more down market, does that carry any incremental churn or volatility, or do you still have pretty good visibility into NetLine production?

Gary Nugent

NetLine continues to perform incredibly well for us. It's a very exciting story within the company. It's going from strength to strength. As we've said, Matthew, we have done a very thorough analysis, forensic analysis to see whether it was cannibalizing any of the business elsewhere, actually that's not the case. These are different customers. They are different personas within our existing customers. They are different budget pools. It forms part of the Unified Demand portfolio in actual fact the Unified Demand story that we're now telling where we have, I think, the broadest portfolio of demand products to meet any demand problem a customer might have, it's playing really nicely for us.

Thomas Emmel

Great. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.

Gary Nugent

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you once again, ladies and gentlemen. That is star one should you wish to ask a question. There are no further questions at this time. Ladies and gentlemen, the conference has now ended. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect your lines.
