Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability Turnaround: The company reported Net Income of $24.0 million in Q2 2025, a swing of $48.4 million from a Net Loss of $24.4 million in Q2 2024. This improvement is primarily attributed to the absence of significant one-time charges in the current period that impacted the prior year.
• Expense Reduction: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by 58% ($64.0 million) year-over-year. The prior year included approximately $45.2 million in lease impairment and abandonment charges and significant bad debt provisions related to a change in accounting estimates for collectability.
• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $306.7 million, driven by operational changes implemented in Q2 2024 to improve customer credit quality and reduce write-offs.
• Restructuring: In June 2025, the company announced a reduction in force of approximately 6% of its workforce to support efficient growth, incurring $4.2 million in restructuring charges for the quarter.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects net revenue retention to be impacted by macroeconomic conditions in the near term but anticipates long-term improvement as the company moves upmarket. Gross margins are expected to fluctuate due to rising AI consumption costs and customer onboarding expenses.
• Capital Allocation: The company drew $100.0 million on its First Lien Revolver in May 2025 to fund its Share Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2025, $396.2 million remained available under the $1.6 billion authorization. The company repurchased approximately 15.9 million shares in Q2 2025.
• Tax Receivable Agreements (TRA): The company recognized a $14.6 million TRA remeasurement gain in Q2 2025 due to changes in blended state tax rates. The total TRA liability stands at $2,749.0 million.
• Risks: Key risks include potential reductions in customer spending due to weaker economic conditions, competition in the B2B data space, data privacy regulations, and the impact of geopolitical conflicts on global operations.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Quality of Earnings: Verify the sustainability of the G&A expense reduction by confirming that the $45.2 million in lease impairments and bad debt charges from Q2 2024 are indeed non-recurring.
• Customer Concentration & Credit: Review the impact of the new business risk model on revenue recognition and the allowance for credit losses to ensure future bad debt provisions remain low.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (reported at 1.0x) and monitor the impact of the $100 million revolver draw on future interest expenses.
• TRA Liability: Assess the sensitivity of the $2.75 billion TRA liability to future changes in state tax rates and the company's ability to utilize tax attributes.
• Restructuring Execution: Monitor the realization of cost savings from the 6% workforce reduction announced in June 2025.
