AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Certara reported Q2 revenue of $93.3 million (up 1%), reaffirmed full-year revenue growth guidance of 0%–4%, but lowered its 2026 adjusted EBITDA margin guide to 29%–31% (from 30%–32%) and adjusted diluted EPS to $0.31–$0.36 due to the May divestiture of the Regulatory and Medical Writing business. The company completed a $100 million share repurchase and authorized an additional $50 million, while appointing a new CCO and citing 27% YoY pipeline growth and software revenue up 4%.

Bullish
  • + Reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance of 0%–4% on a continuing operations basis
  • + Pipeline grew 27% year-on-year, expected to translate into revenue growth in 2H 2026
  • + Completed $100 million share repurchase and Board authorized an additional $50 million program
  • + Reduction in force and operational excellence actions expected to yield ~$13 million in run-rate savings, addressing stranded costs from the divestiture
Bearish
  • − Services revenue declined 3% to $44.5 million and services bookings fell 6% to $47.6 million
  • − Full-year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance lowered to $0.31–$0.36 (continuing operations)
  • − Adjusted EBITDA declined to $26.2 million from $27.0 million, with margin of 28.1% pressured by stranded divestiture costs
