First Advantage Q3 revenue rises 13.8% to $466M
Raised full-year 2026 outlook extends to $1.745 billion in revenue and $498 million in Adjusted EBITDA.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
First Advantage Corporation (FA) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $465.8 million, up 13.8% year over year. Net income was $20.5 million, compared with $2.6 million a year earlier, and diluted net income per share was $0.12. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $136.5 million, up 15.2%; Adjusted Net Income was $67.3 million, up 28.6%, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.38, up 26.7%. Cash flows from operations were $63.8 million.
First Advantage raised its full-year 2026 guidance to revenue of $1.720 billion to $1.745 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $488 million to $498 million, Adjusted Net Income of $227 million to $232 million, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.30 to $1.332. It also announced the acquisition of Data Diver Technologies, LLC, a data platform leveraging AI and automation.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP measures. Please see the end of this earnings release for definitions and schedules with reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable respective GAAP measures.
Note: "NA" indicates not applicable information; "NM" indicates not meaningful information.
“We delivered another quarter of outstanding performance, highlighted by nearly 14% revenue growth, increasing margins, strong cash flow, and robust earnings per share growth. Our results reflected sustained positive momentum across our revenue growth algorithm, with continued excellent base growth, solid new logo contribution, successful upsell and cross-sell activity, and consistently high retention. We continue to see broad-based growth across our diverse, balanced verticals, with strong performance from nearly every vertical in our Americas business. Our AI-enabled products continue to be key differentiators as we help our customers mitigate human capital risks and prevent fraud. Our go-to-market momentum and pipeline remain strong as we approach 2027,” said Scott Staples, Chief Executive Officer.
“On October 31, we celebrated the two-year anniversary of closing the Sterling acquisition. We are executing well and realizing benefits far exceeding our original expectations. Today, we are a larger, stronger, and more diversified company, offering customers a broader portfolio of best-of-breed technologies and products backed by greater scale and innovation capabilities. As a result, we have strengthened our market position, expanded our growth opportunities, and enhanced our ability to create long-term value for shareholders,” Staples added.
Acquisition of Data Diver Technologies
“In addition, today we are excited to announce our acquisition of Data Diver Technologies, a data platform leveraging AI and automation that collects, aggregates, retains, and delivers high-volume criminal and court records, further supporting our strategy of delivering fast, accurate, and automated screening results for our customers. This acquisition aligns squarely with our focus on investing in data and technology assets to help our customers make decisions faster and mitigate risk, while enhancing our proprietary data and automation capabilities and creating new opportunities to expand our solutions and drive product innovation. This acquisition represents another important step in advancing our FA 5.0 growth strategy,” Staples concluded.
The related press release is available on First Advantage’s investor relations website.
Raising Full Year 2026 Guidance
“This quarter, we continued to progress on our synergy program for the Sterling acquisition and expect to finish the year near or at the top end of our run rate synergy target range, underscoring the ongoing success of our integration efforts. Looking forward, our focus is on driving continued operational efficiencies, supporting product innovation, and translating the benefits of the combination into sustained growth, margin expansion, and cash flow generation. While deleveraging remains a high priority for capital allocation, as evidenced by our $45 million debt prepayment during the quarter, our consistent cash flow provides us flexibility for disciplined, strategic capital deployment, including the Data Diver Technologies acquisition, to complement our organic growth objectives and drive incremental shareholder returns,” said Steven Marks, Chief Financial Officer. “We remain confident in our ability to deliver consistent profitable growth. Based on our strong performance through the first three quarters of the year and our expectations for the fourth quarter, we are raising our guidance ranges for the full year, with the low end of our updated guidance ranges now exceeding the high end of our prior guidance ranges across every metric.”
The following table summarizes our updated full year 2026 guidance.

2 A reconciliation of the foregoing guidance for the non-GAAP metrics of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to GAAP net income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to GAAP diluted net income per share cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.
Actual results may differ materially from First Advantage’s full year 2026 guidance as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements relate to matters such as our industry, business strategy, goals, and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources, and other financial and operating information. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “future,” “will,” “seek,” “foreseeable,” “target,” “guidance,” the negative version of these words, or similar terms and phrases.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
For additional information on these and other factors that could cause First Advantage’s actual results to differ materially from expected results, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in our filings with the SEC, which are or will be accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” that 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “Adjusted Net Income,” and “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.”
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation, and to compare our performance against that of peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and as further adjusted for loss on extinguishment of debt, share-based compensation, transaction and acquisition-related charges, integration and restructuring charges, and other non-cash charges. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. We define Adjusted Net Income for a particular period as net income before taxes adjusted for debt-related costs, acquisition-related depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, transaction and acquisition-related charges, integration and restructuring charges, and other non-cash charges, to which we then apply the related effective tax rate. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding—diluted.
For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.
The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our 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.
Other Presentation Conventions
Certain monetary amounts, percentages, and other figures have been subject to rounding adjustments. Percentage amounts have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our press release. Certain other amounts that appear in this press release may not sum due to rounding.
