NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business and Organization
Definitive Healthcare Corp. (the “Company”) was formed on May 5, 2021 as a Delaware corporation to facilitate an initial public offering (“IPO”) and other related transactions to carry on the business of AIDH TopCo, LLC (“Definitive OpCo”). Following consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, as described below, Definitive OpCo became a subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp. The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, provides comprehensive and up-to-date hospital and healthcare-related information and insight across the entire healthcare continuum via a multi-tenant software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform which combines proprietary and public sources to deliver insights. The Company is headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts.
In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the following transactions (the “Reorganization Transactions”): Definitive OpCo entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Amended LLC Agreement”) pursuant to which members of Definitive OpCo prior to the IPO who continued to hold limited liability company interests (“LLC Units”) in Definitive OpCo following the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions acquired the right to require Definitive OpCo to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Until redeemed or exchanged, each LLC Unit is paired with one share of Definitive Healthcare Corp. Class B Common Stock. The total shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding is equal to the number of vested LLC Units outstanding, excluding LLC Units held by the Company. Unvested LLC Units are paired with Class B Common Stock, which are issued but do not have voting rights and are deemed not outstanding until the corresponding LLC Units have vested. Certain entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes that held LLC Units (individually, a “Blocker Company” and collectively, the “Blocker Companies”) each merged with a merger subsidiary of Definitive Healthcare Corp., and subsequently merged into Definitive Healthcare Corp. (the “Mergers”). The former shareholders of the Blocker Companies collectively received a number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the Mergers equal to the number of LLC Units held by the Blocker Companies prior to the Mergers.
Following the Reorganization Transactions, Definitive Healthcare Corp. became a holding company, with its sole material asset being a controlling equity interest in Definitive OpCo. Definitive Healthcare Corp. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Definitive OpCo, and through Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Accordingly, Definitive Healthcare Corp. consolidates the financial results of Definitive OpCo, and reports the noncontrolling interests of unexchanged LLC Unit holders on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, Definitive Healthcare Corp entered into a tax receivable agreement. See Note 16. Income Taxes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly financial information. Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative nongovernmental GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods have been included.
Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Form 10-K for the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, valuations, useful lives of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, equity-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,(“ASU 2023-09”), which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 intends to enhance the transparency as well as usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40)(“ASU 2024-03”). The ASU requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first six months of the current year have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
- Acquisitions
Carevoyance
On January 16, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of assets comprising the Carevoyance business line of H1 Insights, Inc. (“Carevoyance”), a product that helps medical technology (“MedTech”) customers to improve segmentation, targeting, and prospect engagement, for $13.7 million in cash consideration. The Carevoyance assets meet the definition of a business and accordingly, the Company has accounted for the Carevoyance transaction under the acquisition method. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated results prospectively from the acquisition date.
The Company finalized the purchase price allocations of the Carevoyance acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2024. Acquisition-date fair values of assets and liabilities pertaining to this business combination have been allocated as follows:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Purchase price allocation: | Final Purchase Price |
| Accounts receivable | $605 |
| Intangible assets | 7,000 |
| Deferred revenue | (987) |
| Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed | 6,618 |
| Goodwill | 7,057 |
| Purchase price | $13,675 |
As a result of the Carevoyance acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill, developed technology, customer relationships, and tradename of $7.1 million, $6.8 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized includes the fair value of the assembled workforce, which is not recognized as an intangible asset separable from goodwill, and any expected synergies gained through the acquisition. The Company determined that the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. All goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s one reportable segment.
The developed technology represents Carevoyance’s proprietary solutions that are designed to assist MedTech customers with improving segmentation, targeting, and prospect engagement. The Company used the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, to determine the value of developed technology. Significant assumptions include an obsolescence factor, tax rate, and discount rate. The developed technology was valued at $6.8 million and is amortized using the economic value method, which represents the pattern of cash flows over the estimated 7-year life of this asset.
Customer relationships represent the estimated fair value of the underlying relationships with the acquired entity’s business customers. The Company valued customer relationships using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. Significant assumptions include estimated attrition rates, discount rates, and tax rates reflecting the different risk profiles of the asset depending upon the acquisition. The value assigned to customer relationships is $0.2 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of 5 years.
The tradename represents the estimated fair value of the registered trade name associated with the Carevoyance corporate brand. The Company estimated the fair value of the trademark using a relief from royalty method of the income approach. Significant assumptions include forecast of royalty rate, tax rate, and discount rate. The trademark was valued at $0.1 million and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life oftwo years.
In total, intangible assets acquired in the Carevoyance acquisition are estimated to be amortized over a weighted average of 6.9 years. See Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets for the estimated total intangible amortization expense during the next five years.
Pro forma results of operation for this acquisition have not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial results.

The Company determined it hadone reporting unit.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and tested periodically for impairment. For purposes of initial recognition, the Company estimates the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs, which are considered Level 3 fair value measurements as defined in Note 12. Fair Value Measurements. The Company performs an impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment arise.
Though the Company traditionally performs its annual impairment assessment in the first month of the fourth quarter of each calendar year, during the first quarter of 2025, the Company experienced declines in its market capitalization as a result of sustained decreases in the Company’s stock price, which represented a triggering event requiring management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. As a result of the impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of its single reporting unit as of the measurement date was lower than its carrying value and, accordingly, recorded a non-cash, pretax, goodwill impairment charge of$176.5 million during the first quarter of 2025. The goodwill impairment charge did not affect the Company’s liquidity or the financial covenants in its outstanding debt agreement.
In calculating the goodwill impairment charge, the Company estimated the fair value of its single reporting unit based on its market capitalization and an appropriate control premium. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding by the market price of its Class A Common Stock. The control premium, or the amount paid by a new controlling shareholder for the benefits resulting from synergies and other potential benefits derived from controlling the acquired company, is determined by utilizing data from publicly available premium studies for similarly situated public company transactions. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and the fair value.
There were no triggering events identified during the second quarter of 2025 that would have required management to perform a goodwill impairment test.
As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, goodwill consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | Six Months EndedJune 30, 2025 | Year EndedDecember 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Goodwill, gross - beginning of period | $1,369,537 | $1,362,480 |
| Accumulated impairment losses | (976,254) | (287,400) |
| Goodwill, net - beginning of period | 393,283 | 1,075,080 |
| Goodwill acquired during period | — | 7,057 |
| Goodwill impairment loss | (176,531) | (688,854) |
| Goodwill, net - end of period | $216,752 | $393,283 |
| (in thousands) | Six Months EndedJune 30, 2025 | Year EndedDecember 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Goodwill, gross - end of period | $1,369,537 | $1,369,537 |
| Accumulated impairment losses | (1,152,785) | (976,254) |
| Goodwill, net - end of period | $216,752 | $393,283 |
The Company also considered its intangible assets with finite useful lives, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis. These assets are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. As described above, the Company experienced a triggering event in the first quarter of 2025 resulting from declines in the Company’s market capitalization driven by sustained decreases in the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company’s intangible assets were reviewed for impairment as a result of this triggering event. Based on quantitative and qualitative analyses performed during the first quarter of 2025, management concluded the assets were recoverable and no impairment charges were recorded on intangible assets as a result of the first quarter triggering event.
There wereno triggering events identified during the second quarter of 2025 that would have required management to perform an impairment test on its intangible assets.
- Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

On January 3, 2024, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”) intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The 2024 Restructuring Plan provided for a reduction of the Company’s then-current workforce by approximately 150 people. Accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred restructuring and related charges of $0.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, consisting of severance payments, employee benefits, and related cash expenses.
The following table sets forth the activity in the Company’s liabilities resulting from the 2024 Restructuring Plan:

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repaid$73.4 million in outstanding principal of the Term Facility (as defined below).
2021 Credit Agreement
In September 2021, DH Holdings entered into a credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the other lenders party thereto and the other parties specified therein. On January 16, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), DH Holdings entered into an amendment to the credit agreement (the “DH Holdings Credit Agreement Amendment”), dated as of September 17, 2021 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 31, 2022, and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement,” and as further amended by the DH Holdings Credit Agreement Amendment, the “DH Holdings Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the lenders party thereto and the other parties specified therein.
The DH Holdings Credit Agreement Amendment provides for (i) a $175.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, collectively, the “Facilities”), the proceeds of which were used to, among other things, repay the remaining portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, and to pay related fees and expenses.
The loans under the Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on January 16, 2030. The Facilities are guaranteed, subject to customary exceptions, by all of DH Holdings’ wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries and AIDH Buyer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct parent company of DH Holdings (“Holdings”), and are secured by associated collateral agreements that pledge a lien on substantially all of DH Holdings’ assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, and the assets of the guarantors, in each case, subject to customary exceptions (the “Pledged Assets”). As of June 30, 2025, the Pledged Assets of these subsidiaries approximated $664.2 million, and the net assets of these subsidiaries approximated $351.7 million.
The Term Facility is subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date (the “Initial Amortization Date”), equal to 5.0% of the original principal amount of the term loans for each of the five years after the Initial Amortization Date. The remaining initial aggregate advances under the Term Facility are payable at the maturity of the Term Facility.
The Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) ABR (as defined in the DH Holdings Credit Agreement) or (b) Term SOFR (as defined in the DH Holdings Credit Agreement) for the interest period in effect for the applicable borrowing, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on a grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% for ABR borrowings and 2.00% to 2.50% for Term SOFR borrowings. The interest rates are subject to two step-ups of 0.25% based on the total net leverage ratio of DH Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Total Net Leverage Ratio”). In addition, DH Holdings will pay an unused commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.30% on the undrawn commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, also depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. The expense is included in interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2025. However, in lieu of a security deposit, the Company has provided a standby letter of credit of $0.3 million to the lessor of the Company’s corporate headquarters, which reduced the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility to $49.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
Under the DH Holdings Credit Agreement, DH Holdings (and in certain circumstances, Holdings) and its restricted subsidiaries are subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable, and lender remedies).
In connection with the DH Holdings Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company repaid $69.1 million of outstanding principal amount of the Term Facility and reduced its borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility by $25.0 million. As a result, the Company incurred a loss on partial extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 attributed to the derecognition of a proportionate amount of the unamortized debt discount, a result of repaying the $69.1 million of outstanding principal on the Term Facility and reducing the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the Company capitalized financing costs totaling $1.7 million, of which $1.2 million related to the Term Facility and $0.5 million related to the Revolving Line of Credit. The financing costs associated with the Term Facility are recorded as a contra-debt balance in term loan, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the remaining life of the loan using the effective interest method. The financing costs associated with the Revolving Line of Credit are recorded in other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are amortized over the life of the arrangement. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unamortized financing costs were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
- Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates related to the 2021 Term Loan (See Note 10. Long-Term Debt). The Company uses derivative financial instruments, specifically, interest rate swap and cap contracts, in order to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. The Company’s primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company entered intotwo interest rate swap agreements, effective on March 31, 2022. The swap agreements matured on March 31, 2025. The two interest rate swap agreements each had a notional value of $61.9 million with fixed interest rates of 1.90650% and 1.90900%. Interest payments under the swaps were made monthly on a net settlement basis. The Company has not recorded any amounts due to ineffectiveness for the period ended June 30, 2025 or year ended December 31, 2024.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered intotwo interest rate cap agreements, effective March 31, 2025. The two interest rate cap agreements each have a notional value of $68.3 million as of June 30, 2025, with an interest rate cap of 4.50%. Interest payments under the caps are made monthly on a net settlement basis. The Company has not recorded any amounts due to ineffectiveness for the period ended June 30, 2025.
The derivative interest rate caps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Consequently, the change in the estimated fair value of the effective portion of the derivative is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (deficit) income (“AOCI”) on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and reclassified to interest expense, net, when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. The Company expects to recognize $0.1 million of net pre-tax losses from accumulated other comprehensive income as a charge to interest expense in the next twelve months associated with its interest rate caps. The Company recognizes derivative instruments and hedging activities on a gross basis as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and measures them at fair value. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.
The fair values of the interest rate caps as of June 30, 2025 and the fair values of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2024 were recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| (in thousands) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Balance Sheet Location | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| Short-term derivative asset | Prepaid expenses and other assets | $27 | $717 |
| Long-term derivative asset | Other assets | $707 | $— |
- Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs (unadjusted) that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to the three-level fair value hierarchy consist principally of cash and equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term and short-term debt, derivative financial instruments, and contingent consideration payable. The estimated fair value of cash included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to due to their short maturities (less than 12 months).
Debt
The Company’s short- and long-term debt are recorded at their carrying values in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The estimated fair values of the Company’s short- and long-term debt approximate their carrying values as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, based on interest rates currently available to the Company for similar borrowings.
Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents)
Money market funds are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term investments
The Company estimates the fair values of investments in U.S. treasuries, agency bond securities, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit using level 2 inputs, taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party pricing service. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, market yield curves, benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data, and other observable inputs.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses interest rate caps and swaps to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities.
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of its derivatives held as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent consideration
The deferred consideration resulting from the acquisition of Populi in the third quarter of 2023, which is subject to meeting certain revenue metrics during calendar years 2024 and 2025, is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value was estimated based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid at the end of the measurement period. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with this acquisition was estimated tobe $6.3 million, all of which was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in estimate of contingent consideration subsequent to initial measurement as of the acquisition date was recorded in transaction, integration, and restructuring expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Contingent consideration resulting from an earnout associated with a previous acquisition was paid during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Earnout liabilities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the methodology used to develop the estimated fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. The table below presents a reconciliation of earnout liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
| (in thousands) | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Year Ended December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of period | $6,970 | $10,352 |
| Net change in fair value and other adjustments | (690) | (1,780) |
| Payments | — | (1,602) |
| Balance at end of period | $6,280 | $6,970 |
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Certain assets and liabilities, including property and equipment, lease right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are remeasured when the derived fair value is below the carrying value on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. When impairment has occurred, the Company measures the required charges and adjusts the carrying value as discussed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, except for the non-current portion of the contingent consideration noted above, the estimated fair values of all of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to the three-level fair value hierarchy approximated their carrying values due to their short-term maturities (less than 12 months).
- Noncontrolling Interest
The Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Definitive OpCo, and through Definitive OpCo and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of Definitive OpCo, and reports the noncontrolling interests of its consolidated subsidiaries on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on the LLC Units held by Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members other than the Company. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in its consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC Units by such Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as noncontrolling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025,1,043,270 LLC Units held by Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement. In addition,1,933,593 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vested and 619,548 shares of Class A Common Stock were withheld to cover withholding tax obligations, resulting in the net issuance of 1,314,045 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. Furthermore,11,563,888 shares of Class A Common Stock have been repurchased and subsequently retired under Repurchase Programs (as the term is defined below) authorized by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). Pursuant to the Definitive OpCo second amended and restated limited liability company agreement entered into in connection with the IPO, LLC Units were issued on a one-for-one basis in connection with the vesting of RSUs and LLC Units were cancelled on a one-for-one basis in connection with the repurchases of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held ownership interests in Definitive OpCo of 73.2% and 74.3%, respectively, and noncontrolling interests of 26.8% and 25.7%, respectively.

- Stockholders’ Equity and Equity-Based Compensation
Stock Repurchase Programs
In May 2024, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $20.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, which expired on December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Repurchase Program”). On November 1, 2024, the Board announced a new stock repurchase program (the “2025 Repurchase Program” and, together with the 2024 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock authorizing up to $100.0 million in share repurchases. The 2025 Repurchase Program expires on December 31, 2025 and became effective upon the expiration or completion of the 2024 Repurchase Program. Repurchases may be effected, from time to time, either on the open market (including pre-set trading plans), in privately negotiated transactions, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The timing and the amount of any repurchased Class A Common Stock will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program will be funded using the Company’s working capital. Any repurchased shares of Class A Common Stock will be retired. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 11.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of $40.2 million, including commissions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 16.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock under the Repurchase Programs for an aggregate purchase price of $62.7 million, including commissions.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense associated with awards granted under equity incentive plans. Equity-based compensation expense is allocated to all departments based on the recipients of the compensation. A summary of the expense by line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is provided in the following table.
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Cost of revenue | $180 | $309 | $340 | $580 |
| Sales and marketing | 1,038 | 1,686 | 2,217 | 3,957 |
| Product development | 1,416 | 2,949 | 3,155 | 5,710 |
| General and administrative | 4,346 | 3,898 | 8,587 | 14,177 |
| Total compensation expense | $6,980 | $8,842 | $14,299 | $24,424 |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company accelerated the vesting of 258,886 and 357,808 previously unvested time-based RSUs, respectively, in connection with the departure of certain executive-level employees. The remaining unvested shares held by the award holders were forfeited upon separation, and the modifications resulted in an incremental stock-based compensation charge of approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company accelerated the vesting of 203,761 and 750,145 previously unvested time-based RSUs, respectively. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company accelerated the vesting of 60,098 previously unvested LLC units and 49,265 previously unvested performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”). These modifications occurred in connection with departures of certain executive-level employees. Remaining unvested shares held by the award holders were forfeited upon separation, and the modifications resulted in incremental stock-based compensation charges of approximately $0.8 million and $7.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Performance Stock Units with Market Conditions
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 1,675,811 PSUs to certain executives with a relative total stockholder return (“TSR”) component, pursuant to the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These awards vest based on the satisfaction of certain service conditions, market conditions, and performance-based conditions measured over a cumulative three-year period ended December 31, 2027. The earned payout of these PSUs, if at all, will range from 0% to 200% of target, based upon achievement of certain cumulative performance goals, which include revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets determined by the Company with a relative TSR multiplier up to plus or minus 20%. For fiscal year 2025, the revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin targets have been determined, with the fiscal year 2026 and 2027 targets to be determined within 75 days following the end of the previous applicable fiscal year, and the three-year cumulative performance targets set in 2027. In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, the grant date for these PSUs can only be established when a mutual understanding of the terms of the award are established, including the specific targets for the cumulative performance period being explicitly defined in 2027. In addition, the awards are not forfeited in the event an interim annual target for 2025 or 2026 is not attained and accordingly, there is no service inception date prior to the grant date. Accordingly, measurement of stock-based compensation attributed to these PSUs will be based on the grant date fair value using a Monte-Carlo valuation model once the grant date is determined, with the resulting stock-based compensation expense recorded over the substantive service period in 2027.
In June 2024, the Company granted PSUs to its Chief Executive Officer with performance criteria related to the Company’s achievement of certain stock price hurdles over afour-year period. These PSUs subject to the performance criteria will become earned and eligible to vest infour vesting tranches over the performance period. As these PSUs vest based on the achievement of market conditions, the grant date fair values were determined using a Monte-Carlo valuation model. The Monte-Carlo valuation model considered a variety of potential future share prices for the Company as well as its peer companies in the selected market index. Expense for these awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award.
In February 2024, the Company granted PSUs to its Executive Chairman with performance criteria related to the relative ranking of the TSR of the Company’s common stock for the cumulative three-year performance period return relative to the TSR of certain peer companies within the Nasdaq Software & Services Index. TSR will be measured based on the 45-trading-day average closing stock price on the first day of the performance period compared to the 45-trading-day average closing stock price on the last day of such period, inclusive of applicable cash dividend payments. These PSUs subject to the performance criteria will cliff vest after three years, subject to the satisfaction of the performance criteria and the executive’s continued employment through the performance period. PSUs may vest in a range between 0% and 200%, based on the satisfaction of performance, and no shares will be issued if the minimum applicable performance metric is not achieved. As these PSUs vest based on the achievement of market conditions, the grant date fair values were determined using a Monte-Carlo valuation model. The Monte-Carlo valuation model considered a variety of potential future share prices for the Company as well as its peer companies in the selected market index. Expense for these awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award.
The Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with PSUs with market conditions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
- Income Taxes
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, management performed an assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Based on the review of all available evidence, the Company determined that it has not yet attained a sustained level of profitability and the objectively verifiable negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence. Therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for all years on its net operating loss carryforwards, R&D credit carryforwards, and other net deferred tax assets that remain after all sources of taxable income are exhausted, not supportable by the “naked credit” deferred tax liability sourced income as of June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $13.8 million and $24.5 million, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rate was(5.2)% and 6.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 6.0% and 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% due to the valuation allowance recorded, foreign tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate, and partnership income that is not taxed.
The income of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally subject to corporate-level taxation, and certain of these subsidiaries have a valuation allowance whereas others do not. The effective tax rates for each period generally arise from the tax provisions for Company subsidiaries without valuation allowances, and the impact of any revaluation of deferred taxes arising from changes in the states effective tax rates. Such revaluations are caused by changes in state apportionment factors arising from fluctuations in the mix of sales, property and payroll by state, certain state tax rate changes and certain state tax incentives.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA provides for significant U.S. tax law changes. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, provides that changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period of enactment. As a result, the Company is assessing the impact of this new legislation and will record any impacts in the period of enactment.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to the Company’s election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Definitive OpCo when LLC Units are redeemed or exchanged by other members. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interest as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be paid in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) among Definitive Healthcare Corp., Definitive OpCo, and the TRA Parties and has recorded a liability under the TRA of$31.2 million and $63.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The $32.0 million decrease in the TRA liability during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by a $17.8 million remeasurement of the liability based on future realizability of tax attributes with an offsetting adjustment to statement of operations and $13.8 million of payments to TRA Parties, while concurrently decreasing $0.4 million with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital for current year exchange transactions and redemptions. Under the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the TRA Parties 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, or local tax that the Company actually realizes directly or indirectly (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of(i) certain tax basis adjustments resulting from (a) acquisitions by the Company of LLC Units from pre-IPO holders in connection with the IPO, and (b) subsequent redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units by holders for Class A Common Stock or other consideration, (ii) certain tax attributes acquired by the Company from the Blocker Companies in the Reorganization Transactions, and (iii) certain payments made under the TRA. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that it may actually realize. To the extent that the Company is unable to timely make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.
- Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period, excluding unvested equity awards and subsidiary member units not exchanged. Diluted earnings per share of Class A Common Stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
