Earnings call summaries
Pick a quarter — each call distilled into takeaways, results, and a bull vs bear read.
Definitive Healthcare delivered a solid Q2 with margins and cash flow holding up, but revenue still declined 9% and the company lowered its full-year revenue outlook while raising profit guidance.· August 10, 2026
- Q2 revenue was $55.2 million, down 9% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA was $14.6 million with a 26% margin.
- Net dollar retention improved for the second straight quarter, and management said diversified and provider end markets are further along in returning to growth.
- Life sciences remained the softer segment, though biopharma posted its strongest new-business quarter in 3 years outside of Q4 and the company cited several win-backs.
- Turbo, the new AI-powered platform, is launching with pilots this month and is not expected to contribute materially to 2026 revenue, but management thinks it can help retention and 2027 growth.
- Full-year revenue guidance narrowed to $220 million to $222 million, but adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to $57 million to $59 million with margin at 26% to 27%.
Definitive Healthcare reported Q2 FY2026 revenue of $55.2 million, down 9% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was $14.6 million with a 26% margin, adjusted net income was $7.5 million, and non-GAAP EPS was $0.05. Adjusted gross profit was $44.2 million and adjusted gross margin was 80%, which Casey Heller said was up 100 basis points year over year after adjusting for a one-time credit in the prior year. Unlevered free cash flow was $11.6 million in the quarter and about $50 million over the trailing 12 months. For Q3, the company guided to revenue of $54 million to $55 million, adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 million to $14.5 million, and EPS of about $0.04 to $0.05. For full-year 2026, it guided to revenue of $220 million to $222 million, adjusted EBITDA of $57 million to $59 million, adjusted net income of $27 million to $29 million, and EPS of $0.18 to $0.20.
Kevin Coop said the quarter was in line with or above guidance and emphasized that the company is executing on the levers it controls: data differentiation, integrations, customer success, and innovation. He highlighted improving net dollar retention, win-backs, faster integrations, and the launch of Turbo as signs that the strategy is working, while noting life sciences is recovering more slowly than the other segments. His tone was confident but measured, with repeated emphasis on disciplined spending and building a foundation for more durable growth over time.
Casey Heller focused on the durability of profitability and cash generation despite top-line pressure. She cited Q2 revenue of $55.2 million, adjusted EBITDA of $14.6 million, 26% margin, adjusted gross profit of $44.2 million, and $11.6 million of quarterly unlevered free cash flow, with $50 million over the trailing 12 months and a 75% conversion rate. She also pointed to deferred revenue of $89 million, total RPO down 18% year over year, and current RPO down 12%, noting the shift toward single-year deals. On guidance, she said the revenue range was tightened because professional services outlook weakened, but profit guidance was raised because of cost control and targeted investment.
Analysts pressed management on whether Turbo will contribute to 2026 revenue and what the monetization model will look like. Casey Heller said Turbo is not expected to materially affect 2026 top-line results, but it could help retention ahead of heavy renewal periods; pricing is still being evaluated, with a future mix that may include cohort-based, tiered, and usage-based elements. Questions also focused on life sciences and claims data, and Heller said the earlier downsell pressure from claims is starting to normalize, while management is seeing encouraging biopharma wins even though large pharma budgets have not clearly turned yet. On contract duration, she said multi-year deals have not made a big comeback and the current environment still favors single-year commitments.
The positive case from this call is that the business is showing stabilization in several important areas: net dollar retention improved again, diversified and provider segments are closer to growth, and biopharma produced its strongest new-business quarter in 3 years outside Q4. Management also cited win-backs, faster integrations, and early customer interest in Turbo and AI features as evidence that product differentiation is resonating.
The bear case is that revenue still fell 9% year over year, life sciences remains a drag, and professional services bookings were lighter than expected, which hurt the near-term outlook. Deferred revenue and RPO declined, and management said the business is still seeing a shift toward single-year deals rather than a clear return to multi-year commitments, while Turbo is not expected to move 2026 revenue meaningfully.

A “Sell” may be a pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plan sale rather than a discretionary decision — read insider selling with that in mind.
