Note: "NA" indicates not applicable information; "NM" indicates not meaningful information.
“Our outstanding second quarter performance, highlighted by 15% year-over-year revenue growth and exceptional per share earnings growth, demonstrated the strength of our AI-driven proprietary technology platform and our continued go-to-market momentum. In addition to our team’s excellent execution, our results benefited from sustained momentum driven by our recent large contract wins and continued improvement in base revenue performance. We further showcased the agility, flexibility, and scalability of our operations by seamlessly absorbing increased volumes and continuing to enable our customers to hire with speed and confidence,” said Scott Staples, Chief Executive Officer.
“We continue to see increased customer demand across a number of our verticals, including in transportation & logistics, retail & e-commerce, industrials & manufacturing, and general staffing. We outpaced our previously stated expectations for the quarter as well as our long-term revenue growth algorithm target, supported by exceptional base growth, upsell and cross-sell outperformance, consistent new logo wins, including 20 enterprise bookings in the quarter, and healthy customer retention. As we mark the fifth anniversary of our IPO, we continue to win with our differentiated suite of products, including Digital Identity, underpinned by our proprietary data sets, deep customer relationships, and focused FA 5.0 strategy,” Staples concluded.
Raising Full Year 2026 Guidance
“We are progressing toward our long-term financial targets, with revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA Margins, and robust cash flow reflecting the consistency and durability of our business. We continue to deploy capital in a balanced and disciplined manner, with a focus on deleveraging, as reflected by our previously announced $25 million debt prepayment during the quarter and an additional, upsized $45 million prepayment subsequent to quarter-end. We also repurchased $18.7 million of common stock during the quarter under our $100 million share repurchase program, with total repurchases through July 31, 2026 of $38.2 million, or approximately 1.9% of total shares outstanding,” said Steven Marks, Chief Financial Officer. “In view of our strong year-to-date performance, current labor market trends, and our confidence in our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are raising our full year guidance.”
The following table summarizes our updated full year 2026 guidance.
| Updated Guidance As of August 6, 2026 | Prior Guidance As of May 7, 2026 | |
| Revenues | $1,670 million – $1,710 million | $1,625 million – $1,700 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA2 | $472 million – $486 million | $460 million – $485 million |
| Adjusted Net Income2 | $214 million – $225 million | $200 million – $220 million |
| Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share2 | $1.23 – $1.29 | $1.15 – $1.25 |
2 A reconciliation of the foregoing guidance for the non-GAAP metrics of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to GAAP net income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to GAAP diluted net income per share cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.
Actual results may differ materially from First Advantage’s full year 2026 guidance as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

- our reliance on third-party data providers;
- our sales to government entities and higher-tier contractors to governmental customers which involve unique competitive, procurement, budget, administrative and contractual risks;

- the continued integration of our platforms and solutions with human resource providers such as applicant tracking systems and human capital management systems as well as our relationships with such human resource providers;
- risks relating to public opinion, which may be magnified by incidents or adverse publicity concerning our industry or operations;

- our dependence on the service of our key executives and other employees, and our ability to find and retain qualified employees;
- our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary information;
- our ability to maintain, protect, and enforce the confidentiality of our trade secrets;
- the use of open-source software in our applications;

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “Adjusted Net Income,” and “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.”
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and as further adjusted for loss on extinguishment of debt, share-based compensation, transaction and acquisition-related charges, integration and restructuring charges, and other non-cash charges. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. We define Adjusted Net Income for a particular period as net income before taxes adjusted for debt-related costs, acquisition-related depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, transaction and acquisition-related charges, integration and restructuring charges, and other non-cash charges, to which we then apply the related effective tax rate. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding—diluted.
For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the reconciliations included at the end of this press release.
The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.
Certain monetary amounts, percentages, and other figures have been subject to rounding adjustments. Percentage amounts have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our press release. Certain other amounts that appear in this press release may not sum due to rounding.
