During the first quarter of 2026, the Company made changes to its organizational structure to take advantage of the combined product offering portfolio. As a result, the Company, as of March 31, 2026, had two reporting units: Brand to Demand, and Intelligence & Advisory. As of the Company's goodwill impairment assessment performed on December 31, 2025, the company had five reporting units. See further discussion at Note 4, Goodwill. The Company identified a sustained decline in share price during the first quarter of 2026 that, along with other qualitative considerations including the continued impact from the conditions in the macroeconomic environment, constituted an impairment triggering event for its reporting units. During the second quarter of 2026, there was no triggering event requiring an impairment assessment. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Informa TechTarget performed the required impairment tests of goodwill on its previous five reporting units (pre-reorganization basis), and then on its current two reporting units (post-reorganization basis), using a discounted cash flow model with the following key assumptions in the fair value calculations:

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $116.1 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $7.4 million, or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $6.3 million decrease in staff-related costs post the company-wide restructuring and workforce reduction program initiated in August 2025. The remaining decrease is attributable to a $1.8 million decrease in third-party spend and costs optimization initiatives. This was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in sales commissions.

Depreciation. Depreciation expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 21%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to certain IT equipment and other fixed assets becoming fully depreciated during the period.

Impairment of Goodwill. There was no goodwill impairment recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2026. As a result of the impairment analysis in the three months ended June 30, 2025, an impairment charge of $382.2 million was recorded. Due to decreases in our stock price and overall market capitalization, along with other qualitative considerations including the continued impact from the conditions in the macroeconomic environment, it was determined a triggering event occurred in the prior year period, indicating goodwill may be impaired. Accordingly, we conducted a quantitative impairment test of our goodwill at March 31, 2025. We estimate the implied fair value of our goodwill primarily using an income approach. Changes in the estimates or assumptions used in our quantitative impairment test could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated goodwill impairment assessment. Potential events and circumstances that could have an adverse impact on our estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to continued increases in costs and other macroeconomic factors.

Current wording
Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $151.1 million, representing an increase of $8.5 million, or 6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $7.3 million of higher content and editorial costs. A further $0.1 million relates to an increase in amortization of internal-use software and developed technology, and the remaining $1.1 million reflects higher other direct costs, net of lower staff-related costs.
Previous wording
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $7.3 million, or 10%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

This was partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in sales commissions, reflecting changes towards more performance‑based compensation.
Current wording
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $12.2 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

A further $4.4 million decrease is attributable to lower marketing spend, and cost optimization initiatives. This was partially offset by $2.7 million higher sales commissions.
Previous wording
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.5 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

These were partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in information technology costs, primarily due to enhanced corporate technology infrastructure investments and increased cost allocations from centralized IT services.
Current wording
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.7 million reduction in staff-related costs from post-transaction synergies and organizational restructuring and a $3.2 million net decrease in professional fees. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in information technology costs, driven by corporate technology infrastructure investments, and a $2.0 million increase in other operating costs, primarily due to credits received in the prior-year period that did not recur.
Previous wording

Current wording
Product Development. Product development costs increased by $1.2 million, or 15%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher staff and related personnel costs in the first half of the year, partially offset by higher capitalization of development costs in the third quarter.
Previous wording
Amortization. Amortization expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher amortization included in cost of revenues in the current period.

Impairment of Goodwill. As a result of the impairment analysis in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, impairment charges of $45.0 million and $841.3 million were recorded, respectively. Due to decreases in our stock price and overall market capitalization, along with other qualitative considerations including the continued impact from the conditions in the macroeconomic environment, it was determined a triggering event occurred in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, indicating goodwill may be impaired. No triggering event occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2026. Accordingly, we conducted a quantitative impairment test of our goodwill at March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. We estimate the implied fair value of our goodwill primarily using an income approach. Changes in the estimates or assumptions used in our quantitative impairment test could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated goodwill impairment assessment. Potential events and circumstances that could have an adverse impact on our estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to continued increases in costs and other macroeconomic factors.
