Q2 2026 revenue was $116.1 million versus $119.9 million a year ago, down 3.2%. First-half 2026 revenue was $222.2 million, broadly flat year over year. Brand to Demand revenue was $85.9 million in Q2, down 1.7%, and Intelligence & Advisory revenue was $30.3 million, down 7.1%; for the first half, Brand to Demand grew 1.2% and Intelligence & Advisory declined 5.5%, mainly due to lower consulting revenues. Q2 adjusted EBITDA was $15.1 million versus $17.3 million last year, with a 13% margin; first-half adjusted EBITDA was $22.4 million versus $23.1 million, with margin at 10.1% versus 10.3%. GAAP net loss in Q2 narrowed to $21.7 million from $398.7 million, though last year included a noncash goodwill impairment charge. Cash and cash equivalents were $45.8 million at quarter end, $120.1 million was drawn on the $250 million revolving credit facility, operating cash flow was $3.3 million for the first half, and adjusted free cash flow was $20 million. Management reiterated 2026 guidance and continued to target full-year revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth, with adjusted EBITDA expected between $95 million and $100 million.

Gary Nugent struck a constructive but cautious tone, saying the business is executing better even as the market remains challenging. He emphasized that AI is changing how B2B buyers research and decide, which makes the company’s trusted editorial, analyst, and audience platforms more valuable. He highlighted stronger momentum with large clients, a materially expanded opportunity pipeline, and early traction from AI-enabled products and new partnerships.

Dan Noreck focused on the numbers and said the quarter reflected slower customer decision-making, but the company kept investing in product, data, and go-to-market execution. He noted Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $15.1 million, 13% margin, and first-half adjusted EBITDA of $22.4 million with a 10.1% margin, held up by cost synergies offsetting product development spend and inflation. He also pointed to $45.8 million in cash, $120.1 million drawn on the revolver, $3.3 million of operating cash flow, and $20 million of adjusted free cash flow, while reiterating 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $95 million to $100 million.

Analysts asked where spending weakness was most visible, and management pointed to softer telecom/service providers, some SaaS software, and more resilient demand in data center, cloud, AI, and cybersecurity. On geography, Gary said the U.S. was holding up better than international markets, where macro and geopolitics are having more impact. Questions on new BrightTALK product adoption and confidence in full-year growth were answered with commentary that beta testing showed good response, and that pipeline, larger deal sizes, steady win rates, and broadly flat backlog support the reiterated outlook.
