Certara Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Updates 2026 Guidance to reflect completed divestiture of Regulatory Writing and Medical Writing Business
RADNOR, PA — May 11, 2026 -- Certara, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in model-informed drug development, today reported its first quarter 2026 financial results.
First Quarter Highlights:
•Revenue was $106.9 million, compared to $106.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing growth of 1%.
•Software revenue was $49.7 million, compared to $46.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing growth of 7%.
• Services revenue was $57.2 million, compared to $59.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 4%.
•Net loss was $8.8 million, compared to a net income of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 285%.
•Adjusted EBITDA was $31.7 million, compared to $34.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9%.
"I am pleased with the progress we made in my first quarter at Certara," said Jon Resnick, Chief Executive Officer. “We are taking decisive steps to sharpen our execution and position Certara for long-term growth, including divesting our Medical Writing business, reorganizing around two focused growth areas, and accelerating our enterprise-wide AI program. Together, these actions strengthen our ability to transform drug development and deliver greater value to our customers and shareholders."
“Our first quarter performance reflects improvement in software, which came in above plan across key metrics. Services performance was mixed, reflecting execution and go-to-market challenges that we expect to resolve during the second half of the year,” said John Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer. “With the divestiture of our Regulatory and Medical Writing Business, we expect the mix of software and services revenue to be approximately even. Our updated 2026 guidance reflects the impact of the divestiture during the second quarter, and revenue growth expectations of 0% - 4% excluding the Regulatory and Medical Writing Business.”
First Quarter 2026 Results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $106.9 million, representing year-over-year growth of 1% on a reported basis. Software revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $49.7 million, representing year-over-year growth of 7% on a reported basis. Services revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $57.2 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 4% on a reported basis.
Total Bookings for the first quarter of 2026 were $115.3 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 2%.
Software Bookings for the first quarter of 2026 were $48.7 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 20%. The increase in software bookings was attributable to strong customer demand across our platform.
Services Bookings for the first quarter of 2026 were $66.6 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 14%. The decrease in services bookings was primarily driven by the timing of contract recognition and execution.
Total cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2026 was $41.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million from $41.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Cost levels were consistent with the same quarter in the prior year.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $69.6 million, which increased by $12.7 million from $56.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Higher operating expenses were primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in business acquisition contingent consideration expense, a $2.8 million increase in employee-related costs, a $1.0 million increase in equipment and software expenses, a $0.9 million increase in executive recruiting and retention expenses, a $0.8 million increase in lease abandonment expense, primarily due to the absence of a non-recurring gain recognized in the prior year that reduced expenses in that period, and a $0.8 million increase in amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by higher capitalized R&D costs.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $8.8 million, compared to a net income of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The $13.5 million decrease in net income was primarily driven by higher operating expenses, increased tax expenses, and increased total other expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.
Diluted loss per share for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.06, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.03 in the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was $31.7 million compared to $34.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $3.1 million. See note (1) in the section titled “A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information on adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $14.5 million compared to $22.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $7.7 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026 was
$0.09, compared to $0.14 for the first quarter of 2025. See note (2) in the section titled “A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Divestiture of global medical writing and related regulatory services business:
On May 08, 2026, we completed the sale of our global medical writing and related regulatory services business to Veristat, LLC for cash consideration of $85.0 million, with an additional $15.0 million placed in escrow and to be released to the Company upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing covenants, and additional contingent consideration of up to $35.0 million in the form of an earn-out based on the financial performance of such business for a specified period following closing. Net proceeds from the transaction are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding our ongoing operations.
2026 Financial Outlook
Certara is updating its guidance for the full year 2026, to reflect the completed divestiture of the Regulatory and Medical Writing Business:
•Full year 2026 revenue is expected to be $395 million - $405 million, including Regulatory and Medical Writing revenue of approximately $18 million.
◦Growth excluding the Regulatory and Medical Writing Business is expected to be 0% - 4%.
◦Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 30% - 32%, including contribution from the Regulatory and Medical Writing business.
•Full year adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.35 - $0.41.
•Fully diluted shares are expected to be in the range of 157 million - 159 million.
Please note that the Company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin or adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, financings, and employee stock compensation programs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP measures” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Specifically, the Company makes use of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings per share which are not recognized terms under GAAP. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) margin, or GAAP diluted earnings per share or revenue as measures of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business. The presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.
You should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release below for a further explanation of these measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Management uses various financial metrics, including total revenues, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), and certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings per share, to make budgeting decisions, to make certain compensation decisions, and to compare the Company’s performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, management believes these metrics provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of its ongoing operating performance.
Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings per share are helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical periods. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate and assess performance.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding interest expense, provision for (benefit from) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and integration expense and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
(2) Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effect of equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and integration expense, and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance as well as income tax provision adjustment for such charges.
In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation and this presentation should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual items.
