Informa TechTarget: First-Half Revenue in line with guidance

Newton, MA — July 22, 2025 — TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT) (“Informa TechTarget” or the “Company”), a leading growth accelerator for the B2B Technology sector, today provides an update on its business ahead of Informa PLC’s (“Informa”) Half-Year Results (the majority shareholder in TTGT), which will be published on July 23, 2025 and include its consolidation of Informa TechTarget.

Informa will report half-year revenue for Informa TechTarget of £171.6m (equivalent to approximately $223m), down 4.3% on an underlying and Combined Company basis(1), slightly ahead of previous Informa TechTarget commentary, which guided to a decline in revenues through H1 2025 of approximately 5%. Informa will also report an Adjusted Operating Profit(2) for Informa TechTarget of £0.2m and a non-cash impairment relating to Informa TechTarget for the half year of £484.2m(3).

Informa TechTarget regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements following the filing of its Form 10-Q for the three months to March 31, 2025, on July 14, 2025 and it will release its second quarter results on or before August 14, 2025, consistent with the regulatory filing deadline.

We remain confident that the Informa TechTarget combination significantly strengthens our position in what is a large and dynamic market, the intersection of Technology and B2B Marketing. Our Combination Plan is progressing at pace to unlock the benefits from the breadth and scale it affords, with the accelerated delivery of cost synergies to yield $10m+ in 2025.

Through the second half of 2025, we are targeting further improvement in the trajectory of revenues and margins. The Company continues to guide for full year 2025 Revenues to be broadly flat versus the prior year (2024: $490m) and more than $85m Adjusted EBITDA(4) (2024: $82m).

  • Combined Company basis means calculated as if the acquisition of former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023.

  • Adjusted Operating Profit for Informa is reported under its accounting procedures based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and exclude certain items including amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets relating to businesses acquired, acquisition and integration costs, profit or loss on disposal of businesses and restructuring costs. The measure does include a deduction for stock-based compensation.

  • Goodwill impairment for Informa calculated under its accounting procedures and assumptions based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which may differ materially from calculation for Informa TechTarget under US GAAP.

  • Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, and costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses.
