Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. reported continued top-line growth for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026. Q2 2026 revenue was $52.1 million, up 7.3% year over year, with organic growth of 3.9%. GAAP net loss improved to $3.7 million from $5.7 million, while Adjusted EBITDA slipped 4.4% to $12.3 million and margin narrowed to 23.5% from 26.4%. Adjusted net income declined 11.0% to $10.6 million and fully diluted Adjusted EPS fell to $0.34 from $0.45.
For H1 2026, revenue grew 16.3% to $102.3 million, including 4.4% organic growth. Adjusted EBITDA rose 9.3% to $23.4 million with a 22.9% margin, and Adjusted net income increased 15.3% to $17.9 million, though GAAP net loss remained $15.2 million. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $4.1 million, down sharply due to higher working-capital investment and bonus timing.
The company raised full-year 2026 guidance to $213–$216 million revenue and $48.5–$50.5 million Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting contributions from recent acquisitions of WPI, Tancredi, and The Advocacy Partners. Net debt was reduced to $5.2 million at June 30, 2026, supported by U.S. IPO proceeds, but the group also outlines expected $64.9 million in earnout payments through 2031.
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. completed the acquisition of The Advocacy Partners, a Florida government relations firm, with completion occurring on August 1, 2026. The deal is described as immediately earnings accretive and adds a high‑margin, blue‑chip client franchise in one of the largest and fastest‑growing U.S. state economies.
Initial consideration totals $20.4 million, comprising $18.36 million in cash funded from the balance sheet and $2.04 million in new common shares subject to vesting and restrictive covenants. Additional contingent earnout payments, with the final payment after the end of 2030, could raise total consideration to a maximum of $75 million, dependent on TAP delivering profit growth between 2026 and 2030, with the maximum tied to approximately 35% compound annual profit growth. For the year ended December 31, 2025, TAP reported unaudited net revenues of $9.5 million and profit before tax of $4.6 million, a 48% margin, which PPHC highlights as enhancing group margins and deepening its U.S. state government relations network, particularly in Florida.
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. has completed the acquisition of Tancredi Intelligent Communication Ltd, a London-headquartered strategic communications and advisory firm. Tancredi will operate as part of PPHC’s TrailRunner International group, expanding PPHC’s capabilities in corporate, financial, crisis, reputation and litigation communications across Europe and the US.
The deal includes initial consideration of £8.0 million, comprising 111,948 new common shares priced at $9.42 per share, totaling £800,000, plus £7.2 million in cash funded from PPHC’s balance sheet, and an additional payment of approximately £0.8 million for Tancredi’s estimated net cash. Two contingent earnout payments could raise total consideration up to £25 million if Tancredi delivers strong profit growth through 2030.
Tancredi generated unaudited net revenues of £4.3 million and profit before tax of £1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and reported net assets of £1.8 million. The acquisition adds a team of 22 professionals, strengthens TrailRunner’s London base, and broadens PPHC’s European footprint for its approximately 1,500 existing clients. Following issuance of the consideration shares, PPHC’s total issued and voting share capital will consist of 30,007,237 common shares.

Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. reported strong Q1 2026 growth while remaining GAAP-loss making. Revenue rose 27.5% year over year to $50.1 million, including 5.1% organic growth, driven by all three segments. Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.7% to $11.2 million, delivering a 22.3% margin.
Adjusted net income doubled to $7.4 million, and adjusted fully diluted EPS rose to $0.25 from $0.14, even as GAAP net loss widened slightly to $(11.5) million due mainly to non‑cash share-based and acquisition-related charges.

Management expects 2026 revenue of $205–$209 million and adjusted EBITDA of $46–$48 million, implying a 22–23% margin as new U.S. public company costs and technology investments weigh on profitability. The business continues to pursue earnings‑accretive acquisitions, with expected nominal earnout payments of $79.5 million through 2030.
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. disclosed that a prior press release misstated the ex-dividend dates for its common stock.
