📊 First Advantage Corporation(納斯達克:FA)公佈截至2026年6月30日止第二季度及上半年業績(10-Q申報)。
【季度業績重點】
• 第二季收入錄得4.4878億美元,按年上升約14.9%(2025年同期:3.9063億美元);上半年收入8.3396億美元,按年增長約11.9%(2025年同期:7.4522億美元)。
• 第二季經營溢利5,702萬美元,遠高於去年同期3,774萬美元;上半年經營溢利9,054萬美元,對比去年同期4,535萬美元,增幅近一倍。
• 第二季純利1,691萬美元(去年同期僅31萬美元);上半年純利1,908萬美元,成功扭轉去年同期4,089萬美元虧損。
• 每股盈利:第二季基本及攤薄均為0.10美元;上半年均為0.11美元(去年同期每股虧損0.24美元)。
【財務及營運亮點】
• 利息開支淨額顯著下降:第二季3,161萬美元(去年同期4,479萬美元);上半年6,145萬美元(去年同期9,137萬美元),受惠於債務償還及利率管理。
• 上半年經營現金流達1.2303億美元,遠超去年同期5,682萬美元,現金流表現強勁。
• 公司於2026年2月授權1億美元股份回購計劃;上半年合共回購約324萬股,總成本約3,856萬美元(含相關費用),截至6月底仍有約6,180萬美元回購額度。
• 上半年自願提前償還優先抵押信貸融資5,000萬美元,並確認債務清償虧損73.3萬美元;截至6月底未償還貸款約20.645億美元,公司保持所有財務契約合規。
【分部及業務備註】
• 公司維持三個可報告分部:First Advantage Americas、First Advantage International 及 Sterling。
• 期內出售某相鄰產品客戶關係(佔2025年收入少於0.5%),因而撇銷約500萬美元商譽及250萬美元客戶名單,相關業務不列作已終止經營。
【稅務及展望】
• 第二季及上半年有效稅率分別為32.5%及32.7%,主要受收入地域分佈、美國州稅及不可扣稅股份薪酬影響。
• 管理層指業務具季節性,第一季通常為全年低點,第二至第四季收入分佈較平均;預期暑期及年底節前招聘旺季將帶動需求。

First Advantage Corporation Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business, and Basis of Presentation First Advantage Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was formed on November 15, 2019. Hereafter, First Advantage Corporation and its subsidiaries will collectively be referred to as the “Company.” The Company derives its revenues from a variety of background check, identity, and compliance services performed across all phases of the employee lifecycle from pre-onboarding services to post-onboarding and ongoing monitoring services, covering employees, contractors, contingent workers, and drivers. We generally classify our service offerings into three categories: pre-onboarding, post-onboarding, and adjacent products. Pre-onboarding services are comprised of an extensive array of products and solutions that customers typically utilize to enhance their evaluation process and support compliance from the time a job or other application is submitted to a successful applicant’s onboarding date. This includes searches such as criminal background checks, drug / health screenings, extended workforce screening, biometrics and identity checks, education / workforce verification, driver records and compliance, healthcare credentials, and executive screening. Post-onboarding services are comprised of continuous monitoring and re-screening solutions, which are important tools to help our customers keep their end customers, workforces, and other stakeholders safer, more productive, and more compliant. Our post-monitoring solutions include criminal records, healthcare sanctions, motor vehicle records, social media, and global sanctions screening continuously or at regular intervals selected by our customers. Adjacent products include products that complement our pre-onboarding and post-onboarding products and solutions. This includes fleet and vehicle compliance, hiring tax credits and incentives, employment eligibility, and investigative research. 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”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company includes the results of operations of acquired companies prospectively from the date of acquisition. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year. For a more comprehensive understanding of the Company and its condensed consolidated financial statements, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company has historically experienced seasonality with respect to certain customer industries as a result of fluctuations in hiring volumes and other economic activities. Certain customers across various industries historically increase their hiring throughout the second quarter of the year as winter concludes, and the school year ends, giving rise to student and graduate hiring, and increased commercial activity tied to other activities. This is generally followed by elevated pre-holiday season hiring volumes later in the summer and through October and November of each year. As a result, the Company has a mostly balanced revenue distribution across the second, third, and fourth quarters each year and a seasonal low in the first quarter. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions, include, but are not limited to, the determination of the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, goodwill impairment, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, capitalized software, assumptions used for purposes of determining share-based compensation, and income tax liabilities and assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 6 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Certain financial assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable (supported by little or no market activities). These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that reflect the Company’s best estimate of fair value from a market participant. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments (Level 1). The fair values and carrying values of the Company’s debt are disclosed in Note 5, “Debt”. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their assigned levels within the valuation hierarchy as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Interest rate swaps $ — $ 2,069 $ — Liabilities Interest rate swaps $ — $ 18 $ — Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Other intangible assets are subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement as the result of business acquisitions. The fair values of these assets were estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows through unobservable inputs (Level 3). Business Combinations — The Company records business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition-date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Changes in the estimated fair values of net assets recorded for acquisitions prior to the finalization of more detailed analysis, but not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, will adjust the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur. In valuing trade names, customer lists, software developed for internal use, and other intangible assets, the Company utilizes variations of the income approach, which relies on historical financial and qualitative information, as well as assumptions and estimates for projected financial information. The Company considers the income approach the most appropriate valuation technique because the inherent value of these assets is their ability to generate current and future income. Projected financial information is subject to risk if estimates are incorrect. The most significant estimate relates to projected revenues and profitability. If the projected revenues and profitability used in the valuation calculations are not met, then the asset could be impaired. Concentrations of Credit Risk — Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with major financial institutions and, at times, such balances with each financial institution may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced, and does not anticipate, any losses with respect to its cash deposits. Accounts receivable represent credit granted to customers for services provided. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company did not have any customers which represented 10% or more of its consolidated revenues in any segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Additionally, the Company did not have any customers which represented 10% or more of its consolidated accounts receivable, net for any period presented. The Company has entered into interest rate derivative agreements with a counterparty bank to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility. The Company has determined the counterparty bank to be a high credit quality institution. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. 7 Foreign Currency — The functional currency of all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated net of tax in a separate component of equity. Foreign currency translation (loss) income included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was approximately $(5.9) million and $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Foreign currency translation (loss) income included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was approximately $(12.8) million and $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), except for those relating to intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, which are captured in a separate component of equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction income (loss) included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was approximately $0.2 million and $(0.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Foreign currency transaction income (loss) included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was approximately $4.2 million and $(0.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — There were no accounting pronouncements issued during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that are expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
