  1. Business Overview and Basis of Presentation

Nature of business

TechTarget, Inc. (“Informa TechTarget”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”, formerly known as Toro CombineCo, Inc. (“CombineCo”)) together with its subsidiaries, is a leading business-to-business (“B2B”) growth accelerator, informing and influencing technology buyers and sellers globally.

The Transactions

On January 10, 2024, Informa, PLC (“Informa” or “Parent”) entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) to combine Informa Intrepid Holdings Inc. (“Informa Tech Digital Business” or “Informa Intrepid” or “Accounting Predecessor”), a carved-out business wholly-owned by Informa, with former TechTarget, Inc. (“Former TechTarget”) under CombineCo. In accordance with the Transaction Agreement, Informa contributed the Informa Tech Digital Business along with $350.0 million in cash, in exchange for CombineCo common stock (the “Transaction”). Additionally, CombineCo paid each Former TechTarget shareholder as consideration for one common share of Former TechTarget (i) one share of CombineCo common stock and (ii) cash consideration of approximately $11.70 per share of Former TechTarget common stock (the “Merger”, with the Transaction, collectively the “Transactions”). The Merger closed on December 2, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), with Informa then holding a 58% interest in CombineCo and Former TechTarget shareholders holding the remaining 42% interest in CombineCo. CombineCo changed its name to TechTarget, Inc. upon completion of the Merger.

Basis of presentation

The Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combination. The condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the Acquisition Date reflect the financial statements of the Informa Tech Digital Business, as Accounting Predecessor to Informa TechTarget and the historical consolidated financial statements of Former Tech Target are consolidated only from the Acquisition Date forward.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments have been included such that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year. The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 28, 2025.

The Accounting Predecessor had historically operated as part of the Parent and not as a standalone entity and had no separate consolidated legal status of existence prior to the Transaction. As such, Informa TechTarget 's condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Parent’s historical accounting records and were presented on a carved-out basis prior to the Transaction.

The consolidated financial statements prior to the Transaction reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the businesses included within the Accounting Predecessor. The following considerations have been applied to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the Transaction:

All intercompany transactions and balances between the businesses included within the Accounting Predecessor have been eliminated. Transactions and balances with the Parent, or other non-Informa Tech Digital Business entities controlled by the Parent, are classified as related party transactions.

To the extent that an asset, liability, revenue or expense is directly associated with the Accounting Predecessor, it is reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Since the Accounting Predecessor had been part of a wider group of companies controlled by the Parent, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not reflect the same financing costs had the Accounting Predecessor obtained financing on a standalone basis.

All costs incurred by Informa that are directly attributable to the Accounting Predecessor have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The costs incurred by the Parent for certain functions and operations that were used by the Accounting Predecessor, including but not limited to executive oversight, finance, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, technology, marketing and other shared services have been allocated using appropriate and consistent allocation methods, including revenue, headcount or other relevant measures. Management of the Parent believes the costs of these services allocated to the Accounting Predecessor have been determined on a reasonable basis but may not reflect the amounts that would have been incurred by the Accounting Predecessor had it been operating on a standalone basis. These cost allocations are discussed further in Note 11. Related Party Transactions.

Net Parent deficit, which includes retained earnings, represents the Parent’s historical investment in the Accounting Predecessor, the accumulated net earnings or losses after taxes and the net effect of settled transactions with and allocations from the Parent. All significant transactions between the Accounting Predecessor and the Parent have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for all reporting periods presented. Transactions with the Parent are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as net transfers to Parent and in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as net Parent deficit. All transactions reflected in net Parent deficit by the Accounting Predecessor in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets have been considered as financing activities for purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Effective as of the Acquisition Date, net Parent deficit was converted to Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital.

The Accounting Predecessor was dependent on the Parent for the majority of its working capital and financing requirements during the financial years presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Parent uses a centralized approach to managing cash and financing its operations. Transactions between the Parent and the Accounting Predecessor under this approach were treated as related party short-term debt. All cash and cash equivalent balances held by the Accounting Predecessor that are not a part of the centralized cash management approach were legally held by the Accounting Predecessor and included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Accounting Predecessor had intercompany financing arrangements with the Parent (“related party debt”). These related party financing arrangements between the Accounting Predecessor and the Parent have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for all reporting periods presented. These transactions were settled on the Acquisition Date.

The Accounting Predecessor's current and deferred taxes are computed on a separate return basis.

The Accounting Predecessor's condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the Transaction may not be indicative of Informa TechTarget’s financial performance and do not necessarily reflect what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had Informa TechTarget operated as an independent entity during all the periods presented. The amount of actual costs that may have been incurred if Informa TechTarget were a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including its chosen organizational structure, which functions were performed by its employees or outsourced and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.

Restatement of previously issued financial statements

Informa TechTarget restated its previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 28, 2025. The restatement included the impact on the previously issued unaudited interim financial information through September 2024. Informa TechTarget has restated its previously issued financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 in this Form 10-Q in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The Company has also restated impacted amounts within the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as applicable.

In connection with the preparation of its fiscal 2024 condensed consolidated financial statements, the following errors related to previously issued unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were identified and corrected:

Customer relationship intangible asset amortization: The Company amortized acquired customer relationship intangible assetson a straight-line basis, as opposed to a method that reflect the pattern of consumption. The correction of this error resulted in an adjustment to increase amortization expense of $2.9 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Contingent consideration: The Company identified an error in the fair value of the Industry Dive contingent consideration principally related to the inputs used in the valuation model used to determine the fair value of the Industry Dive contingent consideration in purchase accounting related to its acquisition in September 2022 and the related subsequent fair value valuations of contingent consideration through September 2024. The correction of this error resulted in an increase in the contingent consideration remeasurement loss of $0.7 million and $1.5 million recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Income tax: The Company recorded the income tax impact of correcting the above errors and other adjustments (described below) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in an increase in the income tax provision of $0.9 million and an increase in the income tax benefit of $3.9 million, respectively.

Other adjustments

In addition to the errors identified above, the Company has corrected other immaterial errors primarily related to revenue adjustments, acquisition-related adjustments, related party related adjustments and general and administrative expenses for credit losses. These other errors are quantitatively and qualitatively immaterial, individually and in the aggregate. However, the Company has corrected these other errors as part of the correction for the material errors described above.

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Informa TechTarget bases these estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainties associated with these estimates exist and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with changes in estimates recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant estimates include assumptions associated with impairment considerations for goodwill and long-lived assets, estimating the fair value of contingent consideration, allocation of purchase price to intangible assets in business combinations and determining corporate expense allocations.

Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets

Informa TechTarget evaluates its long-lived assets, including property, equipment, and intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter, or when events and circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred.

Among the factors that could trigger an impairment review are a reporting unit’s operating results significantly declining relative to its operating plan or historical performance, competitive pressures, changes in the general markets in which it operates, and sustained declines in the Company's share price. In assessing goodwill for impairment, Informa TechTarget may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than the carrying value of a reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and any quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required to be performed.

If the qualitative impairment assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, Informa TechTarget performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test, which compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. During the first and second quarter of 2025, the Company identified a sustained decline in the Company's share price which it determined to be a triggering event for the purposes of testing goodwill impairment. Informa TechTarget estimates the fair value of its reporting units primarily using an income approach. In assessing fair value, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a weighted average cost of capital discount rate.

If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, Informa TechTarget will record an impairment of goodwill for the amount to which the carrying value exceeds fair value. Determination of fair value is based on significant assumptions and estimates, projected cash flows, forecasted revenue growth rates and EBITDA margin, discount rates, net working capital rates, long-term growth rates, tax rates and capital expenditure rates. Upon completion of this quantitative assessment, the Company determined that the goodwill of the Canalys, Industry Dive, Bluefin Legacy and legacy TechTarget reporting units were impaired and recorded a$382.2 million and$841.3 million impairment charge during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Informa TechTarget also considers whether there is an expectation that a long-lived asset will be sold or disposed of before the end of its originally estimated useful life. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparing the asset group’s carrying amount and the estimated undiscounted future netcash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss will be recorded based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company didnot identify any impairment of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2025.

See Note 5. Goodwillfor further information

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

Accounts receivable are recognized at the amount Informa TechTarget expects to collect, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is Informa TechTarget’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are written-off against the allowance once all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expense.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment in 30 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, Informa TechTarget has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of Informa TechTarget’s invoicing terms is to provide clients with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing products and services, such as invoicing at the beginning of a subscription term with revenue recognized ratably over the contract period, and not to receive financing from clients.

Segment reporting

In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting — Informa TechTarget has determined it operates as asingle operating andreport able segment. Informa TechTarget’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews key financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

Net loss per share

Basic income (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted weighted average shares reflect the dilutive effect, if any, of potential common shares. To the extent their effect is dilutive, employee equity awards and other commitments to be settled in common stock are included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share based on the treasury stock method.

The calculations of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

For the Three Months Ended June 30,For the Six Months Ended June 30,
2025202420252024
Net loss$(398,662)$(40,203)$(922,050)$(59,712)
Weighted average shares outstanding71,487,72541,651,36671,476,67041,651,366
Loss per share
Basic:$(5.58)$(0.97)$(12.90)$(1.43)
Diluted:$(5.58)$(0.97)$(12.90)$(1.43)

Prior to the Transactions, Informa TechTarget did not have any shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 have been calculated using the number of shares of Informa TechTarget’s common stock issued to Informa on the closing of the Transaction. When determining net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding assumes that those shares of Informa TechTarget’s common stock were issued to Informa at the beginning of the year 2024.

In calculating diluted net loss per share,1.4 million shares related to unvested, restricted stock units were excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 because the impact of including these restricted stock units would be anti-dilutive. There wereno restricted stock units outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) which are not yet effective:

ASU 2023-09 — Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: Requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the effective tax reconciliation, as well as additional information for reconciling items that exceed a quantitative threshold. The ASU also requires all entities to disclose income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions that exceed 5% of total income taxes paid, among other expanded disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting beginning in 2025. Informa TechTarget is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact on Informa TechTarget’s consolidated results.

ASU 2024-03 — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40): Requires disaggregated disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of prescribed categories of expenses within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. Informa TechTarget is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact on Informa TechTarget’s consolidated results.

No individual country outside of the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China accounted for 10% or more of Informa TechTarget’s long-lived assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value of assets and liabilities

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities payable within one year are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The only financial instruments measured at fair value are short-term investments and the Notes (as defined below). The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities was determined based on three levels of input as follows:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs.

Informa TechTarget does not have financial instruments that were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2025. The following table presents the financial instruments that were measured at fair value as of December 31,2024:

Quoted Pricesin ActiveMarkets forIdentical Assets(Level 1)SignificantOtherObservableInputs(Level 2)SignificantUnobservableInputs(Level 3)Total Fair Value Measurements

2026 Notes—412,660—412,660
Total Notes$—$415,690$—$415,690

All level 2 investments are priced using observable inputs, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active and yield curves.

The fair value of the Notes was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, quoted price of the Notes in an over-the-counter market (Level 2).

Theconvertible senior notes due December 15, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and the convertible senior notes due December 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”) were governed by indentures originally between Former TechTarget, as issuer, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (together, the “Indentures”). Informa TechTarget assumed all of Former TechTarget's rights and obligations under the Indentures in connection with the Merger. The Notes are unsecured and rank senior in right of payment to Informa TechTarget’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and equal in right of payment to Informa TechTarget’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated.

  1. Goodwill

The following table represents a roll forward of goodwill balances:

Balance as of June 30, 2025$134,978

As of June 30, 2025, the gross carrying amount and accumulated impairment losses of goodwill were$1.2 billion and$1.0 billion, respectively.

Goodwill impairment test

Informa TechTarget tests whether goodwill is impaired at least annually, during the fourth quarter, or when events and circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred (a “triggering event”). The Company identified a sustained decline in share price during the first and second quarters of 2025 that, along with other qualitative considerations including the continued impact from the conditions in the macroeconomic environment, constituted an impairment triggering event for all reporting units. Accordingly, Informa TechTarget performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment on its reporting units using the following key assumptions in the fair value calculations:

Projected cash flows: Management used a two-stage valuation approach to project impairment test cash flows, which included key assumptions of forecasted revenue growth rate and EBITDA margin. Forecasts for the first stage and second stage include management expectations of Informa TechTarget's financial performance with key assumptions of forecasted revenue growth rate and EBITDA margin and represent the best estimate of the future performance of the relevant reporting units. The first stage consisted of approved projected financial information for a period of three years, followed by a steady state period of long-term growth. Forecasts for the second stage are based on determining the Company’s terminal value, which is the value of the business beyond the discrete forecast period and was estimated using the H‑Model. The H‑Model is typically applied to a subject company where the explicit forecast period reflects the company’s earlier stage of development. The H‑Model is a two‑stage growth model with an initial high‑growth rate stage, followed by a perpetual normalized growth stage. The growth rate in the initial high growth phase was set equal to the revenue growth rate in the reporting unit’s final discrete period, and declines linearly over a 3 year period to reach the stable growth rate in the long‑term.

Discount rate: A post-tax discount rate using a weighted average cost of capital methodology. For the cost of debt, Informa TechTarget considered market rates, based on entities with a comparable credit rating. The cost of equity is calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model methodology. The discount rates include appropriate risk premiums to reflect additional risks of the specific reporting units being tested.

Long-term growth rate: Long-term growth rates are based on external factors such as long-term Consumer Price Index rates and external market reports for the main geographic markets in which each reporting unit operates. Long-term growth rates have not been risk adjusted to reflect any of the business uncertainties noted above, as these uncertainties are already reflected in the discount rates used.

Tax rate: The tax rate is based on external reports of the weighted-average corporate tax rates for the main geographic markets in which each reporting unit operates.

Net working capital rate: The net working capital rate is based on the market participant level of cash free net working capital, and a comparison of guideline public companies.

Capital expenditures rate: The capital expenditures rate is based on the Company’s historical depreciation expense.

These estimates can be affected by several factors, including general economic, industry, and regulatory conditions; the risk-free interest rate environment; and Informa TechTarget's ability to achieve its forecasted operating results.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, Informa TechTarget recognized impairment charges related to its Canalys, Industry Dive, NetLine, Bluefin Legacy and legacy TechTarget reporting units of$15.5 million,$87.9 million,$14.3 million,$16.3 million and$248.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Informa TechTarget recognized impairment charges related to its Canalys, Industry Dive, NetLine, Bluefin Legacy and legacy TechTarget reporting units of$35.2 million,$215.3 million,$14.3 million,$139.8 million and$436.7 million, respectively. After the impairment, the Canalys, Industry Dive, NetLine, Bluefin Legacy and legacy TechTarget reporting units had remaining goodwill of$17.0 million,$53.8 million(1),$27.2 million,$37.0 million and$0.0 million, respectively.

Throughout the remainder of the fiscal year 2025, the Company will continue to monitor relevant facts and circumstances, including any future declines in its stock price, along with other qualitative considerations, if any, including the continued impact from the conditions in the macroeconomic environment. As a result, the Company may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges. While management cannot predict if or when additional goodwill impairments may occur, future goodwill impairments could have material adverse effects on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Fair value assessments of a reporting unit are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs used in their estimate. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the discount rate used in the impairment test for the reporting units ranged from 14.0% to 15.0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the discount rate used in the impairment test for the reporting units ranged from 10.0% to 12.0%. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the long-term growth rate used in the impairment tests was 3.0%.

(1) There was an immaterial typographical footnote only error in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 28, 2025, where the December 31, 2024 ending carrying value of goodwill of the Industry Dive reporting unit was reported at $186.1 million instead of $269.1 million.

As Informa TechTarget participates in but is not the sponsoring entity of these Parent Plans, no shares have been allocated to Informa TechTarget.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the Informa TechTarget’s cost of the awards under ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. All awards granted under these Parent Plans are based on the Parent’s common stock and are not indicative of the results that Informa TechTarget would have incurred as a separate and independent business for the periods presented.

The stock-based compensation expense attributable to Informa TechTarget is based on the awards and terms previously granted under the Parent Plans to Informa TechTarget’s employees and an allocation of the Parent’s corporate and shared functional employee stock-based compensation expenses.

Accounting for stock-based compensation subsequent to the Merger

Subsequent to the Merger, stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on Informa TechTarget's cost of the awards under ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. All awards granted under these Informa TechTarget Plans or the Parent Plans are based on either Informa TechTarget's or the Parent’s common stock, depending on the plan under which the awards were granted and are not indicative of the results that Informa TechTarget would have incurred as a separate and independent business for the periods presented through the Acquisition Date. The Company applied an estimated annual forfeiture rate based on historical averages in determining the expense recorded in each period.

The stock-based compensation expense attributable to Informa TechTarget is based on the awards and terms previously granted under the given Parent Plan or Informa TechTarget Plan. Informa TechTarget's stock-based compensation is based on direct awards employees or an allocation of the Parent’s corporate and shared functional employee stock-based compensation expenses.

  1. Income Taxes

The Company measures its interim period tax expense using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjustments for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is based upon the Company’s estimations of annual pre-tax income, the geographic mix of pre-tax income, and its interpretations of tax laws. The Company updates the estimate of its annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of$19.6 million and an income tax provision of$6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of$1.0 million and an income tax benefit of$6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by approximately$20.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and geographic mix of earnings in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by approximately$13.5 million, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and geographic mix of earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Due to the Company's history of impairments, the effect of the non-deductible goodwill impairment has not been treated as a discrete item in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the United States passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1 referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”). The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. ASC 740, Income Taxes requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Consequently, as of the date of enactment, and during the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company will evaluate all deferred tax balances under the newly enacted tax law and identify any other changes required to its financial statements as a result of the OBBB. We are still in the process of evaluating the OBBB and an estimate of the financial impact cannot be made at this time.
