2. 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, and the allocation of purchase price to intangible assets in business combinations.

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 Company's reporting units, primarily using an income approach, to their carrying value. During the first quarters of 2026 and 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 for goodwill impairment.

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, including 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.

The Company 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 net cash 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 did not identify any impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2026, under either the pre-reorganization assessment based on five reporting units, or under the post-reorganization assessment based on its two reporting units.

See Note 4. Goodwill for 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. The allowance for credit losses is 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.


Allowance for credit losses
Balance as of December 31, 2025	$	1,168
Addition to (release of) provision		10
Write-off		(159	)
Balance as of March 31, 2026	$	1,019


Allowance for credit losses
Balance as of December 31, 2024	$	907
Addition to (release of) provision		410
Write-off		(98	)
Balance as of March 31, 2025	$	1,219

Segment reporting

In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting, Informa TechTarget has determined it operates as two operating and reportable segments: Intelligence & Advisory (“I&A”) and Brand to Demand (“B2D”). Informa TechTarget’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews key financial information of the Company’s segments for the purpose of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. Prior to the first quarter of 2026, the Company operated as one operating and reportable segment. See further discussion at Note 13, Segments.

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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2026			March 31, 2025
Net loss	$	(70,781	)	$	(523,388	)

Weighted average shares outstanding		72,293,292			71,465,493

Loss per share
Basic:	$	(0.98	)	$	(7.32	)
Diluted:	$	(0.98	)	$	(7.32	)

In calculating diluted net loss per share, 1.1 million and 1.4 million shares related to unvested restricted stock units were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 because the impact of including these restricted stock units would be anti-dilutive.

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 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. 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.

•

ASU 2025-06 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Modernizes the guidance for accounting for internal-use software costs by eliminating references to specific project development stages and establishing new capitalization criteria based on management commitment and probability of completion. The ASU clarifies that significant development uncertainty exists only when there is uncertainty about performance requirements or the entity's ability to complete the software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028.

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.
