[8-K] Forrester Research Inc Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 8-K (Item 2.02): On 31 Jul 2025 Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (NASDAQ: SHEN) furnished a press release and slide deck (Ex. 99.1) announcing its financial position as of 30 Jun 2025 and results for the three- and six-month periods then ended. The filing itself contains no revenue, earnings, margin or guidance figures; stakeholders must consult the exhibit or the Investor section of Shentel.com for quantitative details.

No other material events, transactions, leadership changes or capital actions are disclosed. Standard forward-looking-statement language is included. Because the information is “furnished” rather than “filed,” it is not subject to Section 18 liability. Exhibit 104 provides the Inline XBRL cover page tag set.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine 8-K; alerts market to Q2-25 release but withholds numbers—impact neutral until exhibit reviewed.

The company met disclosure requirements by issuing an Item 2.02 Form 8-K alongside a press release. However, without embedded metrics, investors cannot assess performance or outlook directly from this document. The market reaction will depend on data contained in Exhibit 99.1. Absence of additional items (e.g., debt financing, M&A, guidance changes) suggests no immediate strategic shift. Overall, this is an administrative notice with negligible standalone valuation impact.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Filing is compliant, furnished not filed; limits liability and signals transparency without new obligations.

By furnishing rather than filing the press release, SHEN limits potential Section 18 liability while still satisfying Reg FD. The inclusion of forward-looking-statement safe-harbor language is standard. No emerging-growth-company or accelerated filer elections are affected. Governance risk profile is unchanged.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information contained in this current report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K “Results of Operations and Financial Condition”. This information and the exhibits hereto are being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of, or otherwise regarded as filed under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information contained in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Forrester Research, Inc. with the SEC, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.

On July 31, 2025, Forrester Research, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Forrester believes that adjusted financial results provide investors with consistent and comparable information to aid in the understanding of Forrester’s ongoing business. Forrester uses adjusted financial information to manage its business, including use of adjusted financial results as the basis for setting targets for various compensation programs. Our adjusted presentation excludes the following, as well as their related tax effects:

Amortization of intangibles—we exclude the effect of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets from our adjusted results in order to more consistently present our ongoing results of operations.

Gains and losses from investments—we have consistently excluded both gains and losses related to our investment in non-marketable securities, and credit losses or recoveries on the note receivable from the divestiture of FeedbackNow, from our adjusted results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.

Goodwill impairment—we exclude the $83.9 million goodwill impairment charge incurred during the first quarter of 2025 from our adjusted results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.

Stock-based compensation expense—we exclude stock-based compensation from our adjusted results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.

Restructuring costs—we exclude costs associated with the Company’s reductions in force and asset impairment charges associated with the Company’s reductions in office space from our adjusted results in order to keep quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons consistent.

However, these measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as more fully discussed in our financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
