Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA, remaining performance obligations, contingent consideration, Secured Overnight Financing Rate, +2 more

6 terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

"We provide adjusted EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization..."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

remaining performance obligations financial

"As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $123.0 million of remaining performance obligations..."

Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.

contingent consideration financial

"Interest accretion associated with contingent consideration..."

Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.

Secured Overnight Financing Rate financial

"All of the Company’s total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026 was based on a floating base rate (SOFR – Secured Overnight Financing Rate)..."

A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is a daily benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as the market price to “rent” cash for a day with a very safe pledge, similar to paying a short-term rental fee for money backed by government bonds. Investors track SOFR because it underpins pricing for loans, bonds and derivatives, so movements change borrowing costs, interest income and the valuation of interest-rate–linked positions.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act regulatory

"On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1...commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” was enacted in the United States."

A "one big beautiful bill act" is a single, large piece of legislation that bundles many policy changes and measures into one package instead of passing them separately. For investors, it matters because such omnibus bills can swiftly change tax rules, spending levels, industry regulations or subsidies all at once—like a single shopping cart that suddenly adds many items to a household budget—creating broad, rapid shifts in company costs, revenues and market expectations.

Business Combinations (ASC 805) regulatory

"The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations."

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC.

Sale of Automation Business Line

Based on the achievement of certain contractual requirements for the year ended December 31, 2024, during the first quarter of 2025, the Company received additional proceeds in cash from the sale of its Automation business line from UST Global Inc. of $2.0 million.

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the application of the revenue recognition guidance for contracts in which control is transferred

to the customer over time affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, contract assets and contract liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. Estimates are also used for but are not limited to allowance for credit losses, useful lives of furniture, fixtures and equipment and definite lived intangible assets, depreciation expense, fair value assumptions in evaluating goodwill for impairment, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation and the valuation of stock-based compensation.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents which the Company has committed for rent deposits and are not available for general corporate purposes.

Fair Value

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, other current liabilities and accrued interest approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

Fair value measurements were applied with respect to the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which would consist of measurements primarily to goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

Fair value is the price that would be received upon a sale of an asset or paid upon a transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Market participants can use market data or assumptions in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated or generally unobservable. The use of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Under the fair-value hierarchy:

●

Level 1 measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market;

●

Level 2 measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets; and

●

Level 3 measurements include those that are unobservable and of a highly subjective measure.

The following tables summarize the assets and liabilities (as applicable) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated:


		Basis of Fair Value Measurements
		March 31, 2026
		Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total

Total		$	—		$	—		$	334		$	334

(1)As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the noncurrent contingent consideration is included in “Other liabilities”.

The following table represents the change in contingent consideration liability during the three months ended March 31, 2026:


		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2026
Beginning Balance		$	334
Accretion of contingent consideration			5
Ending Balance		$	339

The Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial instruments include outstanding borrowings of $59.2 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of debt is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings was approximately $59.5 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair values of debt have been estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. The incremental borrowing rate used to discount future cash flows was 5.3% at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company also considered recent transactions of peer group companies for similar instruments with comparable terms and maturities as well as an analysis of current market conditions and interest rates. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company borrowed $20.0 million and subsequently repaid $20.0 million of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility. The Company is currently in compliance with its financial covenants.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Statement Disaggregation

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03 to improve the disaggregation of income statement expenses. This updated guidance requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the statement of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company does not expect ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 to modernize the accounting for software costs. Under the new guidance, internal-use software costs are capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and it is probable that the software will be completed and used for its intended function. This updated guidance addresses challenges in applying outdated guidance to modern software development methods, such as agile programming, which are incremental and iterative rather than sequential. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for

retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4—ACQUISITION

AI Maturity Index Acquisition

On January 13, 2026, ISG entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of AI Maturity Index, a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform that allows organizations to assess the AI readiness of their workforces and improve their employees’ ability to leverage AI technology, for total consideration of $750,000, consisting of $500,000 paid at closing and $250,000 of fixed deferred consideration payable two years from the signing date. The assets acquired consist primarily of developed software and related intellectual property that will be integrated into ISG’s AI-related offerings, including the ISG AI Maturity Index. The acquired assets will not operate as a standalone business post-acquisition. The related software acquired, which is capitalized within “Furniture, fixtures and equipment, net,” will be amortized on a straight-line basis over four years.

Martino & Partners Acquisition

On September 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Martino & Partners s.r.l. (“Martino & Partners”), a strategic advisory firm serving public and private sectors clients in Italy, for total consideration of EUR 2.0 million (USD 2.3 million) in cash paid at closing; USD 250,000 worth of shares of ISG’s common stock, issued promptly following the closing; and EUR 350,000 (USD 0.4 million) in cash, to be paid no later than April 30, 2028. Martino & Partners will also have the right to receive additional consideration paid via earn-out payments if certain financial targets are met. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):


Cash	$	2,331
Deferred purchase consideration		410
Contingent liabilities		468
ISG common stock		250
Total allocable purchase price	$	3,459

Current assets	$	1,050
Intangible assets		1,020
Fixed assets		22
Current liabilities		(376)
Debt assumed		(34)
Net assets acquired	$	1,682

Goodwill	$	1,777

The primary factors that drove the goodwill recognized, the majority of which is deductible for tax purposes, were the inclusion of legacy Martino & Partners workforce and the expansion of the Company’s client base, geographic footprint and capabilities in the European market.

Costs associated with this acquisition are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income and were immaterial.

Based on the valuation and other factors as described above, the purchase price assigned to intangible assets and the amortization period were as follows:



		Purchase Price			Estimated
		Allocation			Useful Lives
Amortizable intangible assets:
Trademark and trade name		$	220		3 years
Customer relationships			760		7 years
Noncompete agreements			40		4 years
Total intangible assets		$	1,020

NOTE 5—REVENUE

The majority of our revenue is derived from contracts that can span from a few months to several years. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of services, which, depending on contract type, are sometimes capable of being distinct. If services are determined to be distinct, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the client and is the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using our best estimate of the standalone selling price, or SSP, of each distinct product or service in the contract. The Company establishes SSP based on management’s estimated selling price or observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar clients.

Our contracts may include promises to transfer multiple services and products to a client. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require judgment.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities). Our clients are billed based on the type of arrangement. A portion of our services are billed monthly based on hourly or daily rates. There are also client engagements in which we bill a fixed amount for our services. This may be one single amount covering the whole engagement or several amounts for various phases, functions or milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. Contract assets and liabilities are generally reported in the current assets and current liabilities sections of the consolidated balance sheet, at the end of each reporting period, based on the timing of the satisfaction of the related performance obligation(s). For multi-year sales contracts with annual invoicing, we perform a significant financing component calculation and recognize the associated interest income throughout the duration of the financing period. In addition, we reclassify the resulting contract asset balances as current and noncurrent receivables as receipt of the consideration is conditional only on the passage of time and there are no performance risk factors present. See the table below for a breakdown of contract assets and contract liabilities.


		March 31,			December 31,
		2026			2025
Contract assets		$	19,944		$	14,489
Contract liabilities		$	7,336		$	9,788

Non-current contract assets of $1.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2025 are included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 that was included in the contract liability balance at January 1, 2026 was $5.9 million, primarily representing revenue from the Company’s subscription, fixed-fee, and research contracts.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $123.0 million of remaining performance obligations, the majority of which are expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets

During the fourth quarter of 2023, a client that had engaged the Company for two multi-year projects, which previously commenced in 2021 and 2022, respectively, failed to make payments as per the contracted payment schedule. As a result, the Company ceased performing services under the agreements. After unsuccessful negotiations, the Company provided the client with notice that it would be terminating the respective projects. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded through bad debt expense an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve of $4.9 million associated with this client. The specific reserve recorded as of December 31, 2024 represented management’s best estimate of the probable amount of collection related to the outstanding amounts under these agreements. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, after exhausting all collection efforts on one of the projects, the Company wrote-off $3.6 million of the outstanding amounts against the previously established reserve. As all amounts written off were previously fully reserved, there was no incremental impact to the income statement in such period. As of March 31, 2026, $1.3 million of the reserve on the other multi-year project remains. The Company commenced legal action against the client in April 2024 to collect the outstanding receivables on the other multi-year project. On September 3, 2025, the court issued its final non-appealable judgment holding the client liable to the Company for approximately $5.6 million, plus applicable legal interest at 5% per annum until full payment is made. The Company is continuing to aggressively pursue collection on this judgement against the former client through asset discovery authorized by court orders, though no assets have yet been identified to satisfy the judgement. As collection efforts are ongoing, actual collections from the client may differ from the Company’s estimate. It is unclear at this time if the court judgement will be satisfied by this client’s assets.

Separately, the Company is currently engaged in litigation with a client over a disputed accounts receivable balance for services rendered. The Company is pursuing collection of the full outstanding balance of $4.7 million in litigation. As of March 31, 2026, we have not recorded material reserves against this balance. The Company will continue to reassess ultimate collectability and the need for reserves in future periods.

NOTE 6—NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would share in the net income of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, 0.2 million and 1.1 million restricted stock units, respectively, have not been considered in the diluted earnings per share calculation, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:


		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026			2025
Basic:
Net income		$	2,716		$	1,488
Weighted average common shares			47,746			48,369
Earnings per share		$	0.06		$	0.03
Diluted:
Net income		$	2,716		$	1,488

Basic weighted average common shares			47,746			48,369
Potential common shares			2,429			1,883
Diluted weighted average common shares			50,175			50,252
Diluted earnings per share		$	0.05		$	0.03

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was 37.2% and 37.9%, respectively, based on pretax income of $4.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was impacted by non-deductible expenses and earnings and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions.

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14” (the “Act”), commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” was enacted in the United States. The legislation includes several changes to corporate taxation, including modifications to depreciation deductions and the limitation on interest expense deductions, as well as the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025.

NOTE 8—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to contingencies which arise through the ordinary course of business. All material liabilities of which management is aware are properly reflected in the financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Martino & Partners Contingent Consideration

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has recorded a liability of EUR 0.3 million (USD 0.4 million) representing the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Martino & Partners, which was classified as non-current and included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Reserves

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation, claims and other contingencies, including regulatory and employee matters as well as examinations and investigations by governmental agencies, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a contingent liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, or other applicable accounting standards. Such reserves are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based on the information available at the present time, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of any litigation or claims. However, the Company intends to vigorously defend its legal position on all claims and, to the extent necessary, seek recovery.

NOTE 9—SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

The Company operates as one reportable segment consisting primarily of fact-based sourcing advisory services. The Company operates principally in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) is our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Michael Connors. The CODM uses net income as presented on our Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income in evaluating performance and determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole.

Geographical revenue information for the segment is as follows:


		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2026			2025
Revenues
Americas		$	39,814		$	41,002
Europe			17,284			13,794
Asia Pacific			4,085			4,787
		$	61,183		$	59,583

The segregation of revenues by geographic region is based upon the location of the legal entity performing the services. The Company does not measure or monitor gross profit or operating income by geography or any other measure or metric, other than consolidated, for the purposes of making operating decisions or allocating resources.

The following table represents a breakdown of net income that is used to help determine how resources are allocated:

NOTE 10—FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On February 22, 2023, the Company amended and restated its senior secured credit facility to increase the revolving commitments per the revolving facility from $54.0 million to $140.0 million and eliminate its term loan (as further amended, the “2023 Credit Agreement”). The material terms under the 2023 Credit Agreement are as follows. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the 2023 Credit Agreement:

●

The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of February 22, 2028.

●

The credit facility is secured by all of the equity interests owned by the Company, and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, and, subject to agreed exceptions, the Company’s direct and indirect “first-tier” foreign subsidiaries, and a perfected first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets.

●

The Company’s direct and indirect existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries serve as guarantors to the Company’s obligations under the senior secured facility.

●

At the Company’s option, the credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the “Base Rate” (which is the highest of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate”, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum and (c) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 1.0%), plus the applicable margin, or (ii) Term SOFR (which is the Term SOFR screen rate for the relevant interest period plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%) as determined by the administrative agent, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the applicable margin was decreased by 0.25 percentage of the revolving loans maintaining a Base Rate loans of 1.50% for the revolving loans maintained as Term SOFR loans.

●

The senior secured credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, place restrictions on matters customarily restricted in senior secured credit facilities, including restrictions on indebtedness (including guarantee obligations), liens, fundamental changes, sales or dispositions of property or assets, investments (including loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions), transactions with affiliates, dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock, optional payments and modifications of other material debt instruments, negative pledges and agreements restricting subsidiary distributions and changes in line of business. In addition, the Company is required to comply with a consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio.

●

The senior secured credit facility contains customary events of default, including cross-default to other material agreements, judgment default and change of control provisions.

The Company’s financial statements include outstanding borrowings of $59.2 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of debt is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings was approximately $59.5 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair values of debt have been estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. The incremental borrowing rate used to discount future cash flows was 5.3% at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company also considered recent transactions of peer group companies for similar instruments with comparable terms and maturities as well as an analysis of current market conditions and interest rates. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company borrowed $20.0 million and subsequently repaid $20.0 million of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility. The Company is currently in compliance with its financial covenants.

NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 5, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a second-quarter dividend of $0.045 per share, payable June 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 5, 2026. The dividends are accounted for as a decrease to Stockholders’ Equity. All future dividends will be subject to the Board’s prior approval.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Except for historical information, the discussion in this report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Although we do not expect any adverse conditions that will impact our ability to execute against our strategy over the next twelve months, the more significant factors that could limit our ability to grow in these areas include global macro-economic conditions and the impact on the overall sourcing market, competition, our ability to retain advisors and reductions in discretionary spending with our top client accounts or other significant client events. Other areas that could impact the business would also include natural disasters, pandemics, wars, legislative and regulatory changes and capital market disruptions.

We principally derive revenues from fees for services generated on a project-by-project basis. Prior to the commencement of a project, we reach agreement with the client on rates for services based upon the scope of the project, staffing requirements and the level of client involvement. Revenues for services rendered are recognized on a time and materials basis or on a fixed-fee or capped-fee basis in accordance with accounting and disclosure requirements for revenue recognition.

Revenues for time and materials contracts are recognized based on the number of hours worked by our advisors at an agreed upon rate per hour and are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Revenues for time and materials contracts are billed monthly, semimonthly or in accordance with the specific contractual terms of each project.

We also derive our revenues from certain recurring revenue streams. These include such annuity-based ISG offerings as ISG GovernX, ISG Research Lens. ISG Inform and the multi-year Public Sector contracts. These offerings are characterized by subscriptions (i.e., renewal-centric as opposed to project-centric revenue streams) or, in some instances, multi-year contracts. Our digital services now span a volume of offerings and have become embedded as part of our traditional transaction services. Digital enablement provides capabilities, digital insights and better engagement with clients and partners.

Our results are impacted principally by our full-time consultants’ utilization rate, the number of business days in each quarter and the number of our revenue-generating professionals who are available to work. Our utilization rate can be negatively affected by increased hiring because there is generally a transition period for new professionals that result in a temporary drop in our utilization rate. Our utilization rate can also be affected by seasonal variations in the demand for our services from our clients. The number of business workdays is also affected by the number of vacation days taken by our consultants and holidays in each quarter. We typically have fewer business workdays available in the fourth quarter of the year, which can impact revenues during that period. Time-and-expense engagements do not provide us with a high degree of predictability as to performance in future periods. Unexpected changes in the demand for our services can result in significant variations in utilization and revenues and present a challenge to optimal hiring and staffing. The volume of work performed for any particular client can vary widely from period to period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND MARCH 31, 2025

Revenues

The following table presents a breakdown of our revenue by geographic area:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
								Percent
Geographic Area	2026		2025		Change		Change

	($ in thousands)
Americas	$	39,814	$	41,002	$	(1,188)		(3)	%
Europe		17,284		13,794		3,490		25	%
Asia Pacific		4,085		4,787		(702)		(15)	%
Total revenues	$	61,183	$	59,583	$	1,600		3	%

Revenues increased $1.6 million, or approximately 3%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in revenues in Europe was primarily due to increases in the Consulting and Network & Software (“NaSa”) service lines. The decrease in revenues in the Americas was primarily due to the decline in the NaSa and the Consulting service lines, partially offset by an increase in GovernX and Research service lines. The decrease in revenues in Asia Pacific was attributable to a decrease in the Consulting and Research service lines. The translation of foreign currency revenues into U.S. dollars positively impacted performance compared to the prior year by $1.8 million.

Operating Expenses

The following table presents a breakdown of our operating expenses by category:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
							Percent
Operating Expenses	2026		2025		Change		Change

	($ in thousands)
Direct costs and expenses for advisors	$	34,803	$	33,927	$	876		3	%
Selling, general and administrative		20,317		21,155		(838)		(4)	%
Depreciation and amortization		1,046		1,105		(59)		(5)	%
Total operating expenses	$	56,166	$	56,187	$	(21)		(0)	%

Total operating expenses were relatively consistent for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher contract labor of $0.9 million, travel and entertainment of $0.3 million, and computer expense of $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by lower compensation expense of $0.8 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, and professional fees of $0.1 million.

Compensation costs consist of a mix of fixed and variable salaries, annual bonuses, benefits and profit-sharing plan contributions. A portion of compensation expenses for certain billable employees are allocated between direct costs and selling, general and administrative costs based on relative time spent between billable and non-billable activities. Bonus compensation is determined based on achievement against Company financial targets and is accrued monthly throughout the year based on management’s estimates of target achievement. Statutory and elective profit-sharing plans are offered to employees as appropriate. Direct costs also include employee taxes, health insurance, workers’ compensation and disability insurance.

Sales and marketing costs consist principally of compensation expenses related to business development, proposal preparation and delivery and negotiation of new client contracts. Costs also include travel expenses relating to the pursuit of sales opportunities, expenses for hosting periodic client conferences, public relations activities, participation in industry conferences, industry relations, website maintenance and business intelligence activities. The Company maintains a dedicated global marketing function responsible for developing and managing sales campaigns, brand promotion, the ISG Index and assembling proposals.

We maintain a comprehensive program for training and professional development. Related expenses include product training, updates on new service offerings or methodologies and development of project management skills. Also included in training and professional development are expenses associated with the development, enhancement and maintenance of our proprietary methodologies and tools and the systems that support them.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of executive management compensation, allocations of billable employee compensation related to general management activities, IT infrastructure and costs for finance, accounting, information technology and human resource functions. General and administrative costs also reflect continued investment associated with implementing and operating client and employee management systems. Because our billable personnel operate primarily on client premises or work remotely, all occupancy expenses are recorded as general and administrative.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our fixed assets consist of furniture, fixtures, equipment (mainly personal computers) and leasehold improvements. Depreciation expense is generally computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. We also capitalize certain costs associated with the purchase and development of internal-use software, system conversions and website development costs. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software or system.

We amortize our intangible assets (e.g., client relationships and databases) over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill related to acquisitions is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment testing and interim impairment tests if triggering events are identified.

Other Income (Expense), Net

The following table presents a breakdown of other income (expense), net:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
							Percent
Other income (expense), net	2026		2025		Change		Change

	($ in thousands)
Interest income	$	32	$	55	$	(23)	(42)	%
Interest expense		(878)		(1,056)		178	17	%
Foreign currency transaction gain		152		3		149	4,672	%
Total other expense, net	$	(694)	$	(998)	$	304	30	%

The total decrease in other expenses of $0.3 million, or approximately 30% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, was primarily due to lower interest expense attributable to lower interest rates, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Income Tax Expense

Our quarterly effective tax rate varies from period to period based on the mix of our earnings among the various state and foreign tax jurisdictions in which our business is conducted and the level of non-deductible expenses projected to be incurred during the current fiscal year. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was 37.2% compared to 37.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The difference for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to the impact of an increase in pre-tax earnings. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses and the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions. There were no significant changes in uncertain tax position reserves during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PRESENTATION

This management’s discussion and analysis presents supplemental measures of our performance that are derived from our consolidated financial information but are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We refer to these financial measures, which are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, each as defined below. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for information about our use of these non-GAAP financial measures, including our reasons for including these measures and reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We provide adjusted EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, foreign currency transaction gains/losses, non-cash stock compensation, interest accretion associated with contingent consideration, acquisition and disposition-related costs, gain on assets disposal and severance, integration and other expense), adjusted net income (defined as net income plus amortization of intangible assets, non-cash stock compensation, foreign currency transaction gains/losses, interest accretion associated with contingent consideration, acquisition and disposition-related costs, gain on assets disposal and severance, integration and other expense, on a tax-adjusted basis) and adjusted net income per diluted share, excluding the net tax effect of the items set forth in the table below. These are non-GAAP measures that the Company believes provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and financial implications of foreign currency translations that management believes are not indicative of ISG’s core operations. These non-GAAP measures are used by the Company to evaluate the Company’s business strategies and management’s performance. However, they are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash and certain other special charges that some investors believe may obscure the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of the financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the respective financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents and our revolving credit facility. Operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of receivables from billed and unbilled services, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll and related benefits. The volume of billings and timing of collections and payments affect these account balances.

As of March 31, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $22.8 million compared to $28.8 million as of December 31, 2025, a net decrease of $6.0 million, which was primarily attributable to the following:

●

net cash used in operating activities of $0.7 million;

●

repayment of outstanding debt of $20.0 million;

●

proceeds from revolving facility of $20.0 million;

●

cash dividends paid to shareholders of $2.2 million;

●

purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment of $0.8 million;

●

treasury shares repurchased of $1.3 million;

●

payments related to tax withholding for stock-based compensation of $0.8 million; and

●

proceeds from issuance of employee stock purchase plan shares of $0.2 million.

Capital Resources

●

The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of February 22, 2028.

●

The credit facility is secured by all of the equity interests owned by the Company, and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and, subject to agreed exceptions, the Company’s direct and indirect “first-tier” foreign subsidiaries, and a perfected first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets.

●

The Company’s direct and indirect existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries serve as guarantors to the Company’s obligations under the senior secured facility.

●

At the Company’s option, the credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the “Base Rate” (which is the highest of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate”, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum and (c) Term SOFR, plus 1.0%), plus the applicable margin, or (ii) Term SOFR (which is the Term SOFR screen rate for the relevant interest period plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%) as determined by the administrative agent, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the applicable margin was decreased by 0.25 percentage of the revolving loans maintaining a Base Rate loans of 1.50% for the revolving loans maintained as Term SOFR loans.

●

The senior secured credit facility contains customary events of default, including cross-default to other material agreements, judgment default and change of control provisions.

The Company’s financial statements include outstanding borrowings of $59.2 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of debt is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings was approximately $59.5 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair values of debt have been estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. The incremental borrowing rate used to discount future cash flows was 5.3% at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company also considered recent transactions of peer group companies for similar instruments with comparable terms and maturities as well as an analysis of current market conditions and interest rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company borrowed $20.0 million and subsequently repaid $20.0 million of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit. The Company is currently in compliance with its financial covenants.

We anticipate that our current cash and the ongoing cash flows from our operations will be adequate to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt financing needs for at least the next twelve months. The anticipated cash needs of our business could change significantly if we pursue and complete additional business acquisitions, if our business plans change, if economic conditions change from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated or if other unexpected circumstances arise that may have a material effect on the cash flow or profitability of our business. If we require additional capital resources to grow our business, either internally or through acquisitions, or to maintain liquidity, we may seek to sell additional equity securities or to secure additional debt financing. The sale of additional equity securities or certain forms of debt financing could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may not be able to obtain financing arrangements in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us in the future.

Dividend Program

On March 3, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a first-quarter dividend of $0.045 per share, which was paid on March 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2026 .

On May 5, 2026, the Board approved a second-quarter dividend of $0.045 per share, payable June 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 5, 2026.

The dividends are accounted for as a decrease to Stockholders’ Equity. All future dividends will be subject to the Board’s prior approval.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. We prepare these financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes or developments in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $59.2 million in total debt principal outstanding. Note 10— Financing Arrangements and Long-Term Debt in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements provides additional information regarding the Company’s outstanding debt obligations.

All of the Company’s total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026 was based on a floating base rate (SOFR – Secured Overnight Financing Rate) of interest, which potentially exposes the Company to increases in interest rates. However, due to our debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.80 times and forecasted rates from external banks, we believe that our total exposure is limited and is considered in our forecasted cash uses.

Foreign Currency Risk

A significant portion of our revenues are typically derived from sales outside of the United States. Among the major foreign currencies in which we conduct business are the Euro, the British Pound and the Australian dollar. The reporting currency of our condensed consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar. As the values of the foreign currencies in which we operate fluctuate over time relative to the U.S. dollar, the Company is exposed to both foreign currency translation and transaction risk.

Translation risk arises as our foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars because the functional currencies of our foreign operations are generally denominated in the local currency. Adjustments resulting from the translation of these assets and liabilities are deferred and recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity. There was a positive impact of foreign currency translation on our Statement of Stockholders’ Equity of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and a negative impact of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The translation of our foreign currency revenues and expenses historically has not had a material impact on our consolidated earnings because movements in and among the major currencies in which we operate tend to impact our revenues and expenses fairly equally. However, our earnings could be impacted during periods of significant exchange rate volatility, or when some or all of the major currencies in which we operate move in the same direction against the U.S. dollar.

Transaction risk arises when we enter into a transaction that is denominated in a currency that may differ from the local functional currency. As these transactions are translated into the local functional currency, a gain or loss may result, which is recorded in current period earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the impact on revenues from foreign currency transactions was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of short-term, highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents and accounts receivable and contract assets. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are with large investment-grade commercial banks. Accounts receivable and contract asset balances deemed to be collectible from customers have limited concentration of credit risk due to our diverse customer base and geographies.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026 as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We and our consolidated subsidiaries are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us or our consolidated subsidiaries that, in each case, are required to be disclosed under Item 103 of Regulation S-K. From time to time, we and our consolidated subsidiaries may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including as further detailed above in Note 5 – Revenue – “Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” and Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – “Legal Reserves.”.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. If any of these risks occur or continue to occur, our business, financial condition and/or operating results could be materially adversely affected. We also note that the risk factors described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 are not the only risks facing our Company, and such additional risks or uncertainties that we currently deem to be immaterial or are unknown to us could negatively impact our business, operations and/or financial results.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Dividend Program

On March 3, 2026, the Board approved a first-quarter dividend of $0.045 per share, which was paid on March 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2026.

On May 5, 2026, the Board approved a second-quarter dividend of $0.045 per share, payable June 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 5, 2026.

The dividends are accounted for as a decrease to Stockholders’ Equity. All future dividends will be subject to the Board’s prior approval.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On August 1, 2023, the Board approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase an aggregate of $25 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, which took effect upon the completion of the Company’s previous repurchase program that was exhausted in the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company had approximately $3.8 million in aggregate available under its current share repurchase program as of March 31, 2026. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The timing, the amount and the method of any repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, capital allocation alternatives and other factors. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that will be repurchased, and the repurchase program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice at the Company’s discretion.

The following table details the repurchases that were made during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

As previously reported, on September 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Martino & Partners. In September 2025, in connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 48,356 shares of ISG common stock valued at approximately $0.3 million to the Sellers of Martino & Partners. The issuance of these shares of ISG common stock was exempt from registration under Rule 4(a)(2) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 5.OTHER INFORMATION

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of the Company’s directors or officers adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).
