Note 1 — Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Forrester Research, Inc. (“Forrester”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company's previously reported results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Presentation of Restricted Cash

The following table summarizes the end-of-period cash and cash equivalents from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands).

Restricted cash consists of collateral required for leased office space. The short-term or long-term classification regarding the collateral for the leased office space is determined in accordance with the expiration of the underlying leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates adopting this standard on January 1, 2027, which will result in additional disclosures of expenses in the footnotes to its financial statements.

Recent accounting standards not included above are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 2 — Divestiture

In August 2024, the Company completed the sale of a non-core product line, FeedbackNow, for approximately $17.6 million. The Company received $6.0 million in cash from the sale, along with a note receivable of $9.0 million, and a non-marketable equity investment in the acquirer valued at $2.6 million, which is accounted for under the cost method.

The repayment terms of the note were modified during the first quarter of 2025 resulting in $1.5 million plus all accrued interest being due in December 2025, and the remainder due in the second quarter of 2026. The Company measures the note receivable on an amortized cost basis and records the estimate of any expected credit losses on the note receivable as an allowance for credit losses. In conjunction with the modification of the repayment terms of the note, the Company updated its analysis of the current expected credit loss for the note. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a $0.9 million allowance for credit losses. Asa result of a change in the borrower's expected ability to make the scheduled payments on the note, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company's assessment of default risk on the note increased. Accordingly, the Company updated its analysis of the current expected credit loss for the note. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $6.4 million allowance for credit losses during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As anticipated during the Company’s assessment of credit risk during the third quarter of 2025, the scheduled principal and interest payments due in December 2025 and June 2026 were not made by the borrower.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's assessment of default risk on the note increased and the Company updated its analysis of the current expected credit loss for the note. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $0.9 million allowance for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

If any amount of the note is determined by the Company to be uncollectible due to the borrower’s failure to meet repayment terms or due to the borrower's deteriorating financial condition, the write-off amount, reduced by any previously recorded allowances, would also be recorded as a credit loss expense. As of June 30, 2026, the balance of the note receivable, inclusive of capitalized interest at the stated rate of 8%, is $10.0 million. The carrying value of the note, net of the cumulative allowance for credit losses, is $1.8 million and is recorded within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that is deducted from the note receivable’s amortized cost basis and is included in credit loss expense on note receivable in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In addition, given that collection of interest on the loan is less than probable, interest income recognition was suspended during the third quarter of 2025. As such, interest income will only be recognized to the extent that cash is received. In the future, the accrual of interest income will be restored only when the borrower is contractually current or the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. As of June 30, 2026, the note receivable remains in nonaccrual status.

Note 3 — Marketable Investments

The following table summarizes the Company’s marketable investments (in thousands):

Realized gains and losses on investments are included in earnings and are determined using the specific identification method. Sales of marketable investments during 2026 and 2025 primarily represent redemptions from non-U.S. based money market funds, and realized gains or losses on sales of marketable investments were immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The following table summarizes the maturity periods of the marketable investments in the Company’s portfolio as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands).

The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and market value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporary, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands):

Note 4 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is required to be tested for impairment annually, which requires assessment of the potential impairment at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are determined based on the components of the Company's operating segments that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Testing for impairment is also required on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is more likely than not an impairment loss has been incurred.

As a result of the substantial and sustained decline in the Company's stock price and its overall market capitalization from December 31, 2025 through March 31, 2026, it was determined that a triggering event occurred as of March 31, 2026, indicating goodwill may be impaired. Accordingly, the Company conducted a quantitative impairment test of its goodwill as of March 31, 2026 for its two reporting units (Research and Consulting) that have goodwill. As a result of the quantitative impairment test performed, the Company determined goodwill was impaired for its Research reporting unit and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $10.8 million during the period ended March 31, 2026.

The Company estimated the implied fair value of its reporting units as of March 31, 2026 using an income approach. The income approach was based upon projected future cash flows that were discounted to present value. The key underlying assumptions included forecasted revenues, operating expenses, terminal rate, as well as an applicable discount rate for each reporting unit. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Company. Changes in the estimates or assumptions used in the quantitative impairment test could materially affect the determination of fair value of the Company’s reporting units and the associated goodwill impairment assessment. Potential events and circumstances that could have an adverse impact on the Company's estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, lower than expected bookings growth, increases in costs, and other macroeconomic factors.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment when an event occurs that may indicate potential impairment. In connection with the identified triggering event as of March 31, 2026, the Company performed, prior to the goodwill impairment test, a quantitative assessment of its long-lived assets by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of the underlying assets, and concluded that its long-lived assets were not impaired. However, if future events occur or if business conditions deteriorate, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss, and or accelerate the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets in the future, which could be material to its results of operations and financial condition.

Management concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and as such, a quantitative impairment test of goodwill was not required during the period. 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. The Company will complete its annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2026. In addition, throughout the remainder of 2026, the Company will continue to monitor relevant facts and circumstances, including future changes in its stock price, to determine if another interim impairment test is required. The Company may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $121.5 million of accumulated goodwill impairment losses. Goodwill of $8.3 million is allocated to the Company’s Consulting reporting unit, which had a negative carrying value as of March 31, 2026, the date of the last impairment test.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

As a result of the substantial and sustained decline in the Company's stock price and its overall market capitalization from mid-February 2025 through March 31, 2025, along with other qualitative considerations, including the continued impact from the conditions in the macroeconomic environment, uncertainty created by changes in the United States’ trade policies, and the larger than expected decline in contract bookings during the first quarter of 2025, it was determined that a triggering event occurred as of March 31, 2025, indicating goodwill may be impaired. Accordingly, the Company conducted a quantitative impairment test of its goodwill as of March 31, 2025 for its Research and Consulting reporting units. As a result of the quantitative impairment test performed, the Company determined goodwill was impaired for its Research reporting unit and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $83.9 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2025.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

The carrying values of finite-lived intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for each of the three succeeding years is as follows (in thousands):

Note 5 — Debt

On March 12, 2026, the Company executed a third amendment of its existing Credit Agreement in order to extend its maturity period and to reduce the size of the Revolving Credit Facility. The key terms of the amendment include (a) an extension of the maturity date from December 2026 until March 12, 2029, (b) a reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $50.0 million, (c) a reduction in the amount that the Company is permitted, subject to approval by the Administrative Agent, to increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $50.0 million to $15.0 million, and (d) the addition of a minimum liquidity covenant. As part of the amendment, the number of lenders on the facility was reduced from three toone, resulting in the simultaneous borrowing and repayment of $21.0 million of the facility at the closing.

The credit facility contains certain customary restrictive loan covenants, including among others, financial covenants that apply a maximum leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, minimum liquidity amount, and maximum annual capital expenditures. The negative covenants limit, subject to various exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, merge, consolidate, liquidate or dissolve any part of the Company, sell assets, change fiscal year, or enter into certain transactions with affiliates and subsidiaries. The Company was in full compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2026.

The Company may voluntarily prepay revolving loans under the credit facility at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. No interim amortization payments are required to be made under the credit facility.

Up to $5.0 million of the credit facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and any drawings under the letters of credit must be reimbursed within one business day. As of June 30, 2026, $0.8 million in letters of credit were issued under the credit facility.

Outstanding Borrowings

The Company's total outstanding borrowing as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $35.0 million. The contractual annualized interest rate as of June 30, 2026 was 5.23%.

The Company had $14.2 million of available borrowing capacity on the credit facility (not including the expansion feature) as of June 30, 2026. The weighted average annual effective interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was 5.24% and 5.17%, respectively.

All obligations under the credit facility are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future, direct and indirect, material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, and are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual property, and all of the capital stock of the Company's subsidiaries (limited to 65% of the voting equity of certain subsidiaries).

Note 6 – Revenue and Related Matters

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue as set forth in the following tables (in thousands):

Revenue by Geography

(1)

Revenue location is determined based on where the products and services are consumed.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. Since the only condition for payment of the Company’s invoices is the passage of time, a receivable is recorded on the date an invoice is issued. Also included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts resulting from revenue exceeding the amount billed to the customer, where the right to payment is unconditional. If the right to payment for services performed was conditional on something other than the passage of time, the unbilled amount would be recorded as a separate contract asset. There wereno contract assets as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

The majority of the Company’s contracts are non-cancelable. However, for contracts that are cancelable by the customer, the Company does not record a receivable when it issues an invoice. The Company records accounts receivable on these contracts only up to the amount of revenue earned but not yet collected.

In addition, since the majority of the Company’s contracts are invoiced for annual periods, and payment is expected withinone year from the transfer of products and services, the Company does not adjust its receivables or transaction prices for the effects of a significant financing component.

Deferred Revenue

The Company refers to contract liabilities as deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payment terms in the Company’s customer contracts vary, but generally require payment in advance of fully satisfying the performance obligation(s). Deferred revenue consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. Similar to accounts receivable, the Company does not record deferred revenue for unpaid invoices issued on a cancelable contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $98.7 million and $107.1 million ofrevenue, respectively, related to its deferred revenue balance at January 1 of each such period.

Approximately $294.3 million ofrevenue is expected to be recognized during the next 36 months from remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2026.

Reserves for Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable

The allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for expected credit losses, the Company makes judgments regarding the collectability of accounts receivable based, in part, on the Company’s historical loss rate experience, customer concentrations, management’s expectations of future losses as informed by current economic conditions, and changes in customer payment terms. If the expected financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. If the expected financial condition of the Company’s customers were to improve, the allowances may be reduced accordingly.

Cost to Obtain Contracts

The Company capitalizes commissions paid to sales representatives and related fringe benefits costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts. These costs are included in deferred commissions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for these costs at a portfolio level as the Company’s contracts are similar in nature and the amortization model used closely matches the amortization expense that would be recognized on a contract-by-contract basis. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized to earnings over the initial contract term, which is the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Amortization expense related to deferred commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $8.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively, and is recorded in selling and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $15.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred commissions at each balance sheet date and there wereno impairments recorded during thesix months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging

The Company enters into a limited number of foreign currency forward exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions entered into in the normal course of business that are denominated in foreign currencies that differ from the local functional currency. These contracts generally have short durations and are recorded at fair value with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the Company does not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into five foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by June 30, 2026. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company entered into seven foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by June 30, 2025. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2025, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts.

The Company’s derivative counterparties are investment grade financial institutions. The Company does not have any collateral arrangements with these counterparties and the derivative contracts do not contain credit risk-related contingent features. The table below provides information regarding gains (losses) recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the derivative contracts for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, certain cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company’s financial instruments also include its outstanding variable-rate borrowings (refer to Note 5 –Debt). The Company believes that the carrying amount of its variable-rate borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values because the rates of interest on those borrowings reflect current market rates of interest.

Additionally, the Company has certain financial assets recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date, including cash equivalents and marketable investments in accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements. The fair values of these financial assets have been classified as Level 1, 2, or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described below:

Level 1 — Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Fair value based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Fair value based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and such inputs are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(1)

U.S. based funds of $6.4 million are included in cash and cash equivalents and non-U.S. based funds of $52.8 million are included in marketable investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2)

U.S. based funds of $17.1 million are included in cash and cash equivalents and non-U.S. based funds of $47.6 million are included in marketable investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3)

Marketable investments have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of the reporting period, utilizing third party pricing services or other market observable data. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation methods, including both income and market-based approaches and observable market inputs to determine value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not transfer assets between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques for Level 2 assets.

Note 9 – Non-Marketable Investments

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed of an interest in a standalone real-time feedback company (see Note 2 -Divestiture) and of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $3.2 million, of which $0.6 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.6 million is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

One of the Company’s investments, with a carrying value of $2.6 million at June 30, 2026, is being accounted for using the cost method and, accordingly, is valued at cost less impairments, if any. The Company’s other investment is accounted for using the equity method. Accordingly, the Company records its share of the investee’s operating results each period, which are included in loss on investments, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Gains and losses from non-marketable investments were immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Company uses the cumulative earnings approach to classify distributions received from equity method investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, no distributions were received from the funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, $1.4 million was distributed from the funds to the Company. This amount was included within other investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as it was considered a return on investment.

Note 10 — Income Taxes

Forrester provides for income taxes on an interim basis according to management’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. Certain items such as changes in tax rates, tax benefits or expense related to settlements of share-based awards, tax effects of foreign currency gains or losses, and goodwill impairments are treated as discrete items and are recorded in the period in which they arise.

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $9.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 58.4% for the period. Income tax expense for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (2.7)% for the period.

The effective tax rate of 58.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of nondeductible expenses on the forecasted effective tax rate offset by the impact of the non-deductible goodwill impairment, which is recorded as a discrete item during the period. The recognition of the $9.2 million tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 resulted in an approximate $24.0 million tax asset (in prepaid and other current assets) and an approximate $15.0 million deferred tax liability being recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is forecasting tax expense to be recorded in the remaining six months of the year which is expected to significantly reduce these balances by December 31, 2026.

On July 4th, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing changes to U.S. tax law. The effects of the OBBBA have been incorporated into the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the impact was not material.

Note 11 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”)

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows (net of tax, in thousands):

(1)

The Company does not record tax provisions or benefits for the net changes in foreign currency translation adjustments as it intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

Note 12 —Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable on the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units.

Basic and diluted weighted average common shares are as follows (in thousands):

Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity

The components of stockholders’ equity are as follows (in thousands):

Equity Plans

Restricted stock unit activity for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 is presented below (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock option activity for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 is presented below (in thousands, except per share data and contractual term):

No stock options were granted or exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

In May 2026, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which provided for an additional 450,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be granted under the plan.

Stock-Based Compensation

Forrester recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation over the requisite service period of the individual grantee, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock-based compensation was recorded in the following expense categories in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

Forrester utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of options granted under the equity incentive plans and shares subject to purchase under the employee stock purchase plan, which were valued using the following assumptions:

Liability-Classified Awards

During 2025 and 2026, the Company granted stock awards that are being accounted for as liability awards, such that the fair value of the awards are determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards. During thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards.

Treasury Stock

As of June 30, 2026, Forrester’s Board of Directors had authorized an aggregate $610.0 million to purchase common stock under its stock repurchase program. The shares repurchased may be used, among other things, in connection with Forrester’s equity incentive and purchase plans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $1.1 million. During thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company didnot repurchase any shares of common stock. From the inception of the program through June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 18.3 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $533.6 million.

Note 14 — Restructuring and Related Costs

In January 2025, the Company implemented a reduction in its workforce of approximately 6% across various geographies and functions to better align its cost structure with the revenue outlook for the year. The Company recorded $4.2 million of severance and related costs for this action during the fourth quarter of 2024 and $1.8 million during 2025. All costs had been paid as of March 31, 2026.

In February 2026, the Company implemented a reduction in its workforce of approximately 8% across various geographies and functions to better align its cost structure with the revenue outlook for the year. The Company recorded $8.8 million of severance and related costs for this action during the fourth quarter of 2025, $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2026, and $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2026. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million for contract termination costs during the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2026. The Company also approved plans to close certain of its smaller offices both inside and outside the United States, resulting in a non-cash charge of $0.4 million for accelerated ROU asset amortization in the first quarter of 2026. The Company expects the majority of the accrued restructuring and related costs as of June 30, 2026 to be paid by the end of 2026.

The following table rolls forward the activity in the restructuring accrual for the February 2026 action for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (in thousands):

Note 15 — Operating Segments

The Company's chief operating decision-maker isthe chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. The Company operates inthree segments: Research, Consulting, and Events. These segments, which are also the Company's reportable segments, are based on the management structure of the Company and how the chief operating decision maker uses financial information to evaluate performance and determine how to allocate resources. The Company’s products and services are delivered through each segment as described below.

The Research segment includes the revenues from all of the Company's research products as well as consulting revenues from advisory services (such as speeches and advisory days) delivered by the Company's research organization. Research segment costs include the cost of the organizations responsible for developing and delivering these products in addition to the costs of the product management organization responsible for product pricing and packaging, and the launch of new products.

The Consulting segment includes the revenues and the related costs of the Company's project consulting organization. The project consulting organization delivers a majority of the Company's project consulting revenue.

The Events segment includes the revenues and the costs of the organization responsible for developing and hosting the Company's events. As of January 1, 2025, the Company realigned its events sponsorship sales team and as such the costs of this team were not reported as a direct expense of the Events segment during the first and second quarters of 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, the events sponsorship sales team was aligned back to Events and the costs of this team are now being reported as a direct expense of the Events segment. The three and six months ended June 30, 2025 have been conformed to the current presentation.

The Company evaluates reportable segment performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income (loss). Segment expenses include the direct expenses of each segment organization and exclude selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, adjustments to incentive bonus compensation from target amounts, amortization of intangible assets, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, interest expense, credit loss expense on note receivable, other income, and losses on investments. The accounting policies used by the segments are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not review or evaluate assets as part of segment performance. Accordingly, the Company does not identify or allocate assets by reportable segment.

Note 16 — Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and civil and regulatory claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings and claims can have a material adverse effect on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. It is the Company's policy to record accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, and to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred. The Company reviews its loss contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals and/or disclosures to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, or other new information, as deemed necessary. Once established, a provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances and could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period that the changes are made. The Company currently has no material pending litigation.
