The release identifies Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings per share, Net Leverage Ratio, and Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures that supplement rather than replace GAAP results.

Share Repurchases Q2 2026 $398 million Common stock repurchased during second quarter 2026
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $994 million, up 9.2% year-over-year."
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.
book-to-bill ratio financial
"resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.22x."
The book-to-bill ratio compares the value of new orders a company receives to the value of products it ships out or bills for over a certain period. If the ratio is above 1, it means the company is getting more orders than it is completing, which can indicate growth. If it's below 1, it suggests demand is slowing down.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Operating Cash Flow $558 million, up 26.0% year-over-year, and Free Cash Flow $360 million."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Net Leverage Ratio financial
"IQVIA’s Net Leverage Ratio was 3.59x trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA."
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.
noncontrolling interests financial
"Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests"
The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and profits that belongs to outside owners rather than the parent company; when a parent reports consolidated results it includes the whole subsidiary but shows the noncontrolling slice separately. Think of a company’s subsidiary as a pie where the parent owns most slices but some are held by other investors — noncontrolling interests tell you how much of the pie and its future earnings don’t belong to the parent, which affects how much profit and net assets are truly attributable to the parent’s shareholders.
Revenue $4,368 million up 8.7% year-over-year
Adjusted EBITDA $994 million up 9.2% year-over-year
Adjusted Diluted EPS $3.15 up 12.1% year-over-year
R&DS Net New Bookings $3.15 billion up 19% year-over-year
Operating Cash Flow $558 million up 26.0% year-over-year
Free Cash Flow $360 million up 23.3% year-over-year
Guidance

Raised full-year 2026 guidance to revenue of $17,275–$17,475 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $4,000–$4,050 million, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $12.80–$13.00.

(“IQVIA”) (NYSE:IQV), a leading global provider of clinical research services, commercial insights and healthcare intelligence to the life sciences and healthcare industries, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Year-Over-Year Comparisons
As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2026, the company implemented a new, simplified organizational model to strengthen collaboration, enhance efficiency, and support continued growth. As a result, the company reports its results within two segments: Commercial Solutions and Research & Development Solutions (R&DS). In conjunction with this change, prior period segment amounts have been recast to conform to this reporting structure.

Second-Quarter 2026 Operating Results
"In a strengthening market environment, the IQVIA team executed well and delivered outstanding results, exceeding the high-end of our expectations for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS," said Ari Bousbib, chairman and CEO of IQVIA. "R&D Solutions generated record-level net new bookings of over $3.1 billion and reported 7% organic revenue growth. In Commercial Solutions, double digit growth in patient solutions and commercial engagement services, high-single-digit organic growth in analytics and consulting, and increased adoption of our AI solutions all contributed to strong acceleration of organic revenue growth year-over-year. This excellent operational performance combined with favorable forward-looking indicators across both segments point to sustained momentum for the balance of the year and into 2027."

Revenue for the second quarter of $4,368 million increased 8.7% on a reported basis and 8.5% at constant currency, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Commercial Solutions revenue of $1,793 million increased 8.6% on a reported basis and 8.4% at constant currency. Research & Development Solutions revenue of $2,575 million grew 8.8% on a reported basis and 8.6% at constant currency. Excluding reimbursed expenses, R&DS revenue grew 6.7% on a reported basis.

Second quarter net new bookings were $3.15 billion, an increase of 19% year-over-year, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.22x. The last-twelve months net new bookings were $11.3 billion, up 13% year-over-year. As of June 30, 2026, R&DS contracted backlog was $34.2 billion. The company expects approximately $9.2 billion of this backlog to convert to revenue in the next twelve months, representing growth of 7.5% year-over-year.

Second-quarter GAAP Net Income was $256 million and GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share was $1.53. Adjusted EBITDA was $994 million, up 9.2% year-over-year. Adjusted Net Income was $527 million and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $3.15, up 12.1% year-over-year.

First-Half 2026 Operating Results
Revenue for the first six months of 2026 was $8,519 million, up 8.6% on a reported basis and 7.3% at constant currency, compared to the first six months of 2025. Commercial Solutions revenue of $3,547 million increased 10.1% on a reported basis and 8.5% at constant currency. Research & Development Solutions revenue of $4,972 million increased 7.5% on a reported basis and 6.4% at constant currency.

GAAP Net Income was $530 million and GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share was $3.14. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,926 million, up 7.4% year-over-year. Adjusted Net Income was $1,019 million and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $6.04, up 9.8% year-over-year.

Financial Position
As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $1,909 million and debt was $15,999 million, resulting in net debt of $14,090 million. IQVIA’s Net Leverage Ratio was 3.59x trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA. For the second quarter, Operating Cash Flow was $558 million, up 26.0% year-over-year, and Free Cash Flow was $360 million, up 23.3% year-over-year.

Share Repurchase
During the second quarter of 2026, the company repurchased $398 million of its common stock, resulting in first-half share repurchases of $950 million. IQVIA had $2,819 million of share repurchase authorization remaining as of June 30, 2026.

Full-Year 2026 Guidance
To reflect stronger organic revenue growth, and changes in the M&A and foreign exchange impacts, the company is raising its full-year 2026 guidance for revenue to be between $17,275 million and $17,475 million, for Adjusted EBITDA to be between $4,000 million and $4,050 million and for Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share to be between $12.80 and $13.00.

The new mid-point of the revenue growth guidance is 6.5% versus the prior guidance of 5.8%, reflecting approximately 100 basis points higher organic revenue growth, and approximately 50 basis points higher contribution from M&A offset by approximately 80 basis points unfavorable change in foreign exchange impact, all versus prior guidance.

This revenue guidance now assumes approximately 200 basis points of contribution from acquisitions versus 150 basis points in the prior guidance and approximately 20 basis points of tailwind from foreign exchange versus 100 basis points tailwind in the prior guidance. All financial guidance assumes foreign currency exchange rates as of July 27, 2026 remain in effect for the forecast period.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC. We assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement after the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes information based on financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Gross Leverage Ratio, Net Leverage Ratio and Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as a supplement to the company’s financial statements based on GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance understanding of the company’s financial performance, but none of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP, and non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The company uses non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision making, and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a more meaningful indicator of the underlying operating performance of the business. For example, the company excludes all the amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired customer relationships and backlog, databases, non-compete agreements, trademarks and trade names from non-GAAP expense and income measures as such amounts can be significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining net income. As a result, internal management reports feature non-GAAP measures which are also used to prepare strategic plans and annual budgets and review management compensation. The company also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedules attached to this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Our full-year 2026 guidance measures (other than revenue) are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, stock-based compensation and other items not reflective of the company's ongoing operations.

Non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to the company, many of which present non-GAAP measures when reporting their results. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool. They are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, are not measures of financial condition or liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider such performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
