Financial Summary

2025 Third Quarter Business Performance

In the 2025 Foundation Year, the focus for Informa TechTarget is to combine businesses, brands and teams effectively, establish a clear customer proposition and deepen our market presence. We are making good progress on these plans, steadily building operating momentum and over-delivering on cost synergy targets. This is reflected in the return to both year-on-year and sequential revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in Q3.

Operating Momentum

Our Q3 performance included +2% sequential growth in revenues to $122 million, up from $120 million in Q2. This compared to a modest sequential decline from Q2 to Q3 in the prior year, on a Combined Company basis. Q3 revenues also grew year-on-year, up 1% versus the prior year on a Combined Company basis, improving from the 4% year-on-year decline reported in the first half.

The Company reported a Q3 net loss of $76.8 million, compared to $19.8 million for the Combined Company in the prior year period and significantly lower than the net loss of $398.7 million in Q2. The Q3 net loss included a $80.3 million non-cash impairment, reflecting the reduction in the Company’s market capitalization during the quarter relative to book value at the prior quarter-end. The net loss margin in Q3 was 63%.

Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $22.6 million was up by over 30% compared to the prior quarter and up by 9% compared to the prior year on a Combined Company basis. Operating leverage and the benefit of cost actions increased the Adjusted EBITDA margin to 18.5%.

Balance Sheet Strength

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, ending Q3 with $46.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $120 million of its $250 million revolving credit facility utilized.

The 2025 Foundation Year: Operational Progress

During the quarter, our teams were focused on three key priority areas of operational improvement:

1. Go-To-Market Strategy: Restructuring and realignment of talent, removing duplication and focusing resources on the largest clients and fastest growth markets, e.g. AI, Cybersecurity, and Channel;
2. Product Innovation: Aligning and integrating full portfolio of products and services, leveraging breadth and scale to deliver solutions that align to client needs across their product lifecycle and, by extension, increase average order values;
3. Brand Simplification: Intelligence & Advisory businesses (Canalys, Wards, ESG) combined under a single brand, Omdia, simplifying our market proposition and creating more opportunities for cross-selling and bundling.

Early client feedback has been positive, with high levels of customer engagement, particularly across our largest accounts. The common point of entry to both strategic insights and audience engagement has created a powerful tool for optimizing their marketing investments, and maximizing outcomes. This is already starting to translate into encouraging pipeline opportunities.

AI Expansion and Opportunities

We continue to view AI as significant opportunity for our business – as a Technology market to serve in its own right, as a tool to improve productivity and quality, and as a catalyst for enhancing existing and inspiring new products and services.

The focus of our efforts is in three key areas:

• Providing conversational AI interfaces into our proprietary Market and permissioned Audience data – enhancing efficacy and speed of building and executing on their go to market programs for our clients;
• Providing conversational AI interfaces into audience experience across the network – enhancing audience ability to discover and engage with the original, authoritative and unbiased information that better informs and shapes their buying journeys;
• Enhancing the productivity of our market experts as they create original data and insights that inform, educate and shape the market, and of our marketing and sales teams as they seek to scale presence in a $20 billion addressable market.

Whilst AI is evolving the way audiences discover and consume information, we are well positioned for this shift given our wealth of trusted original content and diversity of audience development techniques.

Cost Synergies Ahead of Schedule

We remain ahead of schedule in delivering the targeted $45 million annualized run rate synergies by the end of Year 3 in 2027 ($25 million of cost synergies and $20 million of profit impact from revenue synergies). In 2025 we were originally targeting $5 million of cost synergies, but expect to more than double this to a minimum of $10 million.

The reorganization plan announced in July 2025 has now largely been completed, incurring one-off costs of $12.4 million in Q3. Total one-off costs are expected to be at around the bottom of the $19.5 million to $45.0 million range previously guided. The annualized run-rate operating expense savings resulting from these actions is expected to be approximately $20 million, as previously indicated.

2025 Outlook Reaffirmed: Operating Momentum

Forward commitments and an improving pipeline of opportunities provide us with confidence that operating momentum will continue from Q3 into Q4, with a target for further sequential and year-on-year growth.

This leads us to reaffirm full year guidance for broadly flat revenues in 2025 compared to 2024, on a Combined Company basis.

We are also reaffirming guidance for full year growth in Adjusted EBITDA and an increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin, with a target of at least $85 million of Adjusted EBITDA. This is underpinned by the over-delivery of cost synergies of at least $10 million.

Longer term, we remain focused on capitalizing on the breadth and scale created through combination to become an indispensable partner to the B2B Technology Industry: Informing, educating and shaping the market. Connecting buyers with sellers. Accelerating growth. An expert-led, data-driven, AI-enabled B2B Marketing leader in a $20 billion addressable market.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Combined Company Revenue, Combined Company Net Loss, Combined Company Net Loss Margin, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Debt, 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.

“Combined Company Revenue” means revenue calculated as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget occurred on January 1, 2023. See Footnote 5 of the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for additional information related to our presentation of unaudited supplemental Combined Company financial information.

“Combined Company Net Loss” means net income/loss calculated as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023. See Footnote 5 of the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for additional information related to our presentation of unaudited supplemental Combined Company financial information.

“Combined Company Net Loss Margin” means Combined Company Net Loss divided by Combined Company Revenue.

“Combined Company 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, and costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, if any. See Footnote 5 of the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for additional information related to our presentation of unaudited supplemental Combined Company financial information. The items included in the calculation assume the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023.

“Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin” means Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA divided by Combined Company Revenue.

“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.

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, Combined Company Revenue, Combined Company Net Loss, Combined Company Net Loss Margin, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Debt, 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.

Combined Company measures are provided to assist our investors in further comparing our performance as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget occurred on January 1, 2023. The components of Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company 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.
