Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On February 9, 2026, the Company announced a reduction in its workforce of approximately 8% of its employees across various geographies and functions. Notification to affected persons commenced December 15, 2025 and is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026. The Company expects to incur pre-tax expenses of approximately $10.0 million to $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first three quarters of 2026 related principally to cash severance and related benefit costs for terminated employees.
The Company also plans to close certain of its smaller offices both inside and outside the United States. The Company anticipates total costs for this action to be approximately $0.4 million, consisting primarily of non-cash lease impairment costs. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately $3.0 million for contract termination costs.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding anticipated charges in connection with the reduction in force, the closing of certain of the Company’s offices and contract termination expenses, and the timing and process for completion of these actions. These statements are based on Forrester’s current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, the possibility that: there are impediments to the Company’s ability to execute the reduction in force, office closings or contract terminations as currently contemplated; the actual charges in implementing these actions are higher than anticipated; and there are changes to the assumptions on which the estimated charges associated with these actions are based. Forrester undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For further information, please refer to Forrester’s reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
