Speaker #3: Thank you, Jonathan. And thanks to all of you for joining us this afternoon to review Definitive Healthcare's second quarter 2026 financial results. On today's call, I'll provide highlights from our second quarter performance and give an update on our progress against our key strategic priorities for this year.
Kevin Coop: Thank you, Jonathan, and thanks to all of you for joining us this afternoon to review Definitive Healthcare's Q2 2026 financial results. On today's call, I will provide highlights from our Q2 performance and give an update on our progress against our key strategic priorities for this year. Let me begin by reviewing our financial results for Q2, which were in line or exceeded the guidance ranges on both the top and bottom line. Total revenue was $55.2 million, down 9% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was $14.6 million, representing a margin of 26%, which was modestly above the high end of our guidance. We continue to do an effective job of managing expenses while investing in our core growth initiatives. We continue to generate solid cash flow, delivering approximately $50 million of unlevered free cash flow for the trailing 12 months.

Speaker #3: In general, we are successfully tracking against the targets we set forth at the beginning of the year. Our Diversified and Provider businesses continue to be further along in returning to growth.
Kevin Coop: In general, we are successfully tracking against the targets we set forth at the beginning of the year. Our diversified and provider businesses continue to be further along in returning to growth. Importantly, these end markets represent over 60% of our revenue, and the improvement in these segments represents a critical foundation to build upon in the coming quarters. The response in our life sciences segment has been slower. We are encouraged by signs that the changes we are making to the business are positively impacting this segment, but it is taking longer to have the full impact we are targeting. We remain confident we will see a more meaningful benefit from these changes over time. Our confidence that growth can be improved comes from several important proof points. First and foremost, it is the improvement in our net dollar retention rate.

Speaker #3: We remain confident we will see a more meaningful benefit from these changes over time. Our confidence that growth can be improved comes from several important proof points.
Speaker #3: First and foremost, it is the improvement in our net dollar retention rate. It was once again up several points year over year on a trailing 12-month basis in Q2.
Kevin Coop: It was once again up several points year over year on a trailing 12-month basis in Q2. This is the second consecutive quarter of year over year improvement and puts us in strong position to sustain it for the full year. We are starting to see improvement in life sciences as our biopharma segment had the strongest new business quarter in 3 years outside of Q4. Included amongst those wins were 4 important win-back customers that had left DH prior to the start of 2025. The win-backs are reinforcement to our belief that ultimately, data quality and superior service will drive longer-term value for our customers over price alone. We have been pleased to see that this is not only in our life sciences segment, we are continuing to see win-backs across our other end markets as well.

Speaker #3: This is the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement and puts us in strong position to sustain it for the full year. And we're starting to see improvement in life sciences, as our biopharma segment had the strongest new business quarter in three years outside of Q4.
Speaker #3: Included amongst those wins were four important win-back customers that had left DH prior to the start of 2025. The win-backs are reinforcement to our belief that ultimately data quality and superior service will drive longer-term value for our customers over price alone.
Speaker #3: We have been pleased to see that this is not only in our life sciences segment. We are continuing to see win-backs across our other end markets as well.
Speaker #3: A good example this quarter was a six-figure three-year win-back in our diversified business. The customer left us at the end of last year for a lower cost competitor, having concluded that they no longer needed access to our full dataset.
Kevin Coop: A good example this quarter was a six-figure, 3-year win-back in our diversified business. The customer left us at the end of last year for a lower cost competitor, having concluded that they no longer needed access to our full dataset. Over the following months, our team stayed engaged, and when a business leader came back to explore a subscription for a single team, that conversation grew into a six-figure enterprise agreement. This win reinforces a reoccurring theme. Even customers who believed that an alternative would be just good enough come to recognize that the cost of an inferior dataset outweighs the savings. Again, this is an important validation of the business value our data and products deliver for our customers and reinforce that our focus on data quality and service rather than price was the right path.

Speaker #3: Again, this is an important validation of the business value our data and products deliver for our customers and reinforce that our focus on data quality and service rather than price was the right path.
Speaker #3: Our conviction that we are focused on the right things remains strong, and those areas of focus are responding. Importantly, these are all areas within our control.
Kevin Coop: Our conviction that we are focused on the right things remains strong and that those areas of focus are responding. Importantly, these are areas all within our control. I would now like to provide an update on our operational progress against our 4 key strategic pillars. As a reminder, these pillars are data differentiation, integrations, customer success, and innovation. Let me begin with data differentiation. Data is at the heart of our value proposition, and we continue to invest in sourcing new proprietary data types and to extend our lead in our core reference and affiliation datasets. We are also increasingly leveraging AI to increase the velocity of our data collection and quality assurance.

Speaker #3: We are also increasingly leveraging AI to increase the velocity of our data collection and quality assurance. We are introducing a new estimation methodology, ACE 3.0, that applies modern data science and machine learning to help address the industry-wide challenge of incomplete claims coverage and we expanded our practice location data to more than 4.4 million verified provider locations improving the precision and recency our customers can rely on for territory planning, outreach, and segmentation.

We expanded our practice location data to more than 4.4 million verified provider locations, improving the precision and recency our customers can rely on for territory planning, outreach, and segmentation. This differentiation is showing up in our wins. In the quarter, we added a major financial services institution in our diversified business whose tax exempt markets team needed a reliable way to monitor health system consolidation, affiliations, and organizational hierarchies. They selected Definitive for our differentiated reference and affiliation data delivered through an automated monthly feed directly into their existing workflows, choosing us over a competitor they evaluated earlier in the process.

Speaker #3: We also won a competitive claims deal in the behavioral health market, where our coverage and the combination of claims with our reference and affiliation data separated us from other vendors.
Kevin Coop: We also won a competitive claims deal in the behavioral health market where our coverage and the combination of claims with our reference and affiliation data separated us from other vendors. Our second pillar is seamless integrations. Basically, making it as fast and simple as possible for customers to access our data alongside their other systems they rely on is a critical aspect of delivering value and building durable relationships. Our data continues to show that customers who integrate Definitive directly into their systems of record and insight use us more often, which makes us a stickier, more strategic part of their operations and strengthens our renewal rates over time. We have continued to accelerate the time to integrate. Compared to Q2 of last year, we completed over 50% more integrations year over year, while also reducing the time to integrate by more than 50%.

Speaker #3: A good illustration this quarter was an early renewal and expansion with a large, diversified account. We're adding our Salesforce embedded connector for their enterprise healthcare team, which turned a manual, list-driven process into a workflow-native experience, and expanded their annual commitment to us.
Kevin Coop: A good illustration this quarter was an early renewal and expansion with a large diversified account, where adding our Salesforce embedded connector for their enterprise healthcare team turned a manual list-driven process into a workflow native experience and expanded their annual commitment to us. Also, in collaboration with a top-tier biopharma partner, we successfully launched a native integration that embeds our key opinion leader intelligence data directly into the Veeva Vault CRM, which is used widely by life sciences, clinical, and medical affairs teams, a capability we can now extend to additional pharma clients as they adopt that platform. Turning to our third pillar, customer success, we continue to see the benefit of aligning all functional teams that support the customer journey into a unified commercial organization.

Speaker #3: That alignment lets us engage earlier and more proactively to identify issues before they become problems and uncover opportunities to do more for our customers.
Kevin Coop: That alignment lets us engage earlier and more proactively to identify issues before they become problems and uncover opportunities to do more for our customers. A prime example of this quarter was a renewal that had not been budgeted for by the customer and was therefore at real risk of churning due to a budget oversight. Our integrated commercial team was able to identify this issue early, and through persistent cross-functional engagement, our team reestablished the value and partnered with the customer to overcome their budget challenge. This integrated motion successfully retained the business, satisfied the customer's critical need, and converted a six-figure save with a path to further expansion in the future as a strategic partner. Finally, we continue to make progress against our fourth pillar, innovation, and our focus on digital engagement.

Speaker #3: Finally, we continue to make progress against our fourth pillar, innovation. And our focus on digital engagement. With our foundation built on data, quality, and service, we are shifting more of our effort to this fourth pillar over the second half of 2026.
Kevin Coop: With our foundation built on data, quality, and service, we are shifting more of our effort to this fourth pillar over the second half of 2026. For product, customers are increasingly using conversational natural language search to simplify complex research workflows. Since launching our natural language search experience earlier this year, we have seen customers replace multiple manual search and filtering steps with a single connected query. For example, a med tech company rapidly identifying decision makers across functions and geographies, and a healthcare logistics company building a connected view of target facilities by combining financials, ownership, and network relationships. In our expert intelligence platform, multi-turn conversational search now accounts for roughly 40% of interactions with our AI search feature. In digital activation, we successfully demonstrated real value add in our proof of concept stage and have now rapidly moved into full production with our momentum building on two fronts.

Speaker #3: We've added 10 new agency partners that are now activating in 2026 that were not active with us in 2025, and this core group of agencies has grown activation spend meaningfully year over year.
Kevin Coop: We have added 10 new agency partners that are now activating in 2026 that were not active with us in 2025, and this core group of agencies has grown activation spend meaningfully year-over-year. At the same time, we have added seven new direct activation customers this year to date, and current customers are embracing our digital solutions more aggressively. For example, one longstanding Populi Population Intelligence customer moved from an initial test into a total activation commitment of more than $300,000. The takeaway is that our activation growth is now being driven by both new direct customers as well as by rising adoption and spend across our agency ecosystem, which gives us a broader and more scalable path forward. We are also encouraged by the performance customers are seeing.

Speaker #3: We are also encouraged by the performance customers we're seeing. One partner running campaigns at our audiences reported registration rates well above the benchmarks they typically expect for hard-to-reach conditions, and this supports our belief that combining high-quality data with ease of digital activation execution will be a winning combination.
Kevin Coop: One partner running campaigns on our audiences reported registration rates well above the benchmarks they typically expect for hard-to-reach conditions, and this supports our belief that combining high quality data with ease of digital activation execution will be a winning combination. The most significant milestone this quarter is the launch of Turbo, our new AI-powered healthcare intelligence platform that accelerates how healthcare teams access, process, and turn data into action. Turbo unifies our proprietary healthcare intelligence built on billions of signals spanning providers, organizations, claims, affiliations, key opinion leaders, and consumer data to power autonomous decision making rather than simple data retrieval, so customers can ask complex questions in natural language and make faster, better informed commercial, strategic, and product decisions.

Kevin Coop: With DH trusted data as the foundational layer, Turbo will deliver reusable capabilities or skills to power workflows and experiences tailored to the appropriate persona or strategic role, be that commercial, sales, product, marketing, or strategy with agentic AI providing a future state of always-on continuous monitoring alerts and notifications. Our launch begins with an initial stage pilot with a select group of strategic customers this month. We have curated this pilot to ensure it represents a broad customer base that spans both healthcare systems, life sciences organizations, and customers in our diversified segment, which capture all others who sell into the healthcare ecosystem. We are targeting general availability before the end of the year, and our commercial teams are preparing broad market conversations this quarter to align demand with launch. Feedback from our pilot customers will help shape the final experience.

Speaker #3: We have curated this pilot to ensure it represents a broad customer base that spans both healthcare systems, life sciences organizations, and customers in our diversified segment, which captures all others who sell into the healthcare ecosystem.
Speaker #3: We are targeting general availability before the end of the year, and our commercial teams are preparing broad market conversations this quarter to align demand with launch.
Speaker #3: Feedback from our pilot customers will help shape the final experience. While AI is foundational to our next-generation commercial and product strategy, it is important to note that we view AI as a company-wide transformation, not simply a set of product features.
Kevin Coop: While AI is foundational to our next generation commercial and product strategy, it is important to note that we view AI as a company-wide transformation, not simply a set of product features. We are embedding it across our data value chain to improve how we source, curate, and enrich our data. We are building AI native capabilities directly into our products, and we have already equipped our teams with AI tools that improve productivity and decision making across the entire company. Our advantage is the combination of proprietary, differentiated healthcare data, our deep contextual domain expertise, and our scaled and trusted customer relationships across thousands of embedded customers, the foundation on which these AI investments compound. To summarize, we remain focused on delivering upon our commitments for the full year by executing on the things within our control and while maintaining disciplined expense management.

Speaker #3: We will continue to focus our resources in the highest value areas that we believe will best position the company to improve retention, and return to consistent, predictable revenue growth over time.
Kevin Coop: We will continue to focus our resources in the highest value areas that we believe will best position the company to improve retention and return to consistent, predictable revenue growth over time. With that, let me turn the call over to Casey to review the financials in more detail. Casey?

Speaker #2: Thank you, Kevin. In all my remarks, I will be discussing our results on a non-GAAP basis unless otherwise noted. As Kevin mentioned, we delivered a solid quarter with our revenue performance within the guided range and profit metrics above the high end of our guide.
Casey Heller: Thank you, Kevin. In all my remarks, I will be discussing our results on a non-GAAP basis, unless otherwise noted. As Kevin mentioned, we delivered a solid quarter with our revenue performance within the guided range and profit metrics above the high end of our guide. I will walk through the financial results in more detail, including our revenue trends, margin performance, and outlook. In Q2, we delivered revenue of $55.2 million, down 9% year over year, adjusted EBITDA of $14.6 million, reflecting a 26% margin, and adjusted net income was $7.5 million, resulting in $0.05 of non-GAAP earnings per share in the period. We also delivered $11.6 million of unlevered free cash flow in the quarter and $50 million on a trailing 12-month basis. Now moving to our results in more detail.

Speaker #2: I'll walk through the financial results in more detail, including our revenue trends, margin performance, and outlook. In the second quarter, we delivered revenue of 55.2 million dollars, down 9% year over year, adjusted EBITDA of 14.6 million dollars, reflecting a 26% margin, and adjusted net income was 7.5 million dollars, resulting in 5 cents of non-GAAP earnings per share in the period.
Speaker #2: We also delivered 11.6 million dollars of unlevered free cash flow in the quarter, and 50 million dollars on the trailing 12-month basis. Now moving to our results in more detail.
Speaker #2: Revenue of $55.2 million was within our guided range and represents a 9% decline year over year. Subscription revenues of $52.8 million declined 9% year over year, and we again delivered improvement year over year in net dollar retention on a trailing 12-month basis.
Casey Heller: Revenue of $55.2 million was within our guided range and represents a 9% decline year over year. Subscription revenues of $52.8 million declined 9% year over year, and we again delivered improvement year over year in net dollar retention on a trailing 12-month basis. Professional services revenue underperformed our expectations for the quarter as bookings were lighter for traditional analytics engagements despite the strength in digital activation. The weaker analytics engagements will also impact Q3 expectations in professional services, as I will touch on later. Adjusted gross profit in the quarter was $44.2 million, which is down 12% year over year. As a percentage of revenue, the adjusted gross profit margin of 80% contracted 230 basis points as reported. However, in Q2 2025, we had one-time credits from a data contract renegotiation.

Speaker #2: However, in Q2 2025, we had one-time credits from a data contract renegotiation. We spoke of that last year, and, adjusting for the one-time credit that did not repeat, we expanded adjusted gross margin by 100 basis points year over year.
Casey Heller: We spoke of that last year, and adjusting for the one-time credit that did not repeat, we expanded adjusted gross margin by 100 basis points year over year. As I mentioned earlier, adjusted EBITDA was $14.6 million and reflects a 26% margin. Despite the continued top-line pressures, we've continued to prudently manage the business and focus investments on the initiatives that will return Definitive to revenue growth over time. Those same one-time credits that benefited COGS in Q2 of last year drove approximately three-quarters of the adjusted EBITDA margin contraction year over year. Turning to cash flow, our business continues to generate strong free cash flow due to our high margin model, upfront billing, and low reoccurring CapEx requirements. On a trailing 12-month basis, operating cash flows were over $41 million, and we generated $50 million of unlevered free cash flow.

Speaker #2: On a trailing 12-month basis, operating cash flows were over 41 million dollars, and we generated 50 million dollars of unlevered free cash flow. Our conversion rate of trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA to unlevered free cash flow was 75%, which is down about 5 points year over year.
Casey Heller: Our conversion rate of trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA to unlevered free cash flow was 75%, which is down about five points year over year, primarily reflecting unique items that benefited the prior year. This cash generation provides flexibility to continue investing in growth. Consistent with last quarter, we continue to make organic product investments with an emphasis on expanding our AI capabilities. We saw another quarter of increased capitalized software development spend totaling over $2 million, up about $700,000 from the prior year. At the end of Q2, deferred revenue of $89 million was down 12% year over year, and total remaining performance obligations declined 18% year over year. Current remaining performance obligations of $150 million declined 12% year over year.

Speaker #2: Primarily reflecting unique items that benefited the prior year. This cash generation provides flexibility to continue investing in growth. Consistent with last quarter, we continue to make organic product investments with an emphasis on expanding our AI capabilities.
Speaker #2: And we saw another quarter increase capitalized software development spend, totaling over 2 million dollars, up about 700,000 dollars from the prior year. At the end of Q2, deferred revenue of 89 million dollars was down 12% year over year and total remaining performance obligations declined 18% year over year.
Speaker #2: Current remaining performance obligations of $150 million declined 12% year over year. The total remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations year-over-year declines are similar to what we've reported exiting both Q4 and Q1, and continue to be impacted by the shift towards single-year deals versus multi-year commitments that we discussed the last two quarters.
Casey Heller: The total remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations year over year declines are similar to what we've reported as of in both Q4 and Q1 and continue to be impacted by the shift towards single year deals versus multi-year commitments that we discussed the last two quarters. With a solid start to the year behind us and continued progress against our objectives, let me turn to our outlook. For the third quarter, we expect total revenue of $54 to $55 million, a revenue decrease of 8% to 10% year over year compared to Q3 of 2025. Within the revenue guide, we expect subscription revenue to be flat sequentially from Q2 to Q3, and we expect to deliver double-digit professional services revenue growth, but at a lower level than originally anticipated.

Speaker #2: Within the revenue guide, we expect subscription revenue to be flat sequentially from Q2 to Q3, and we expect to deliver double-digit professional services revenue growth, but at a lower level than originally anticipated.
Speaker #2: This results in expected adjusted operating income of $10.5 to $11.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 to $14.5 million, or a 25% to 27% adjusted EBITDA margin in Q3, and adjusted net income of $5.5 to $6.5 million, or approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share on 145 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Casey Heller: This results in expected adjusted operating income of $10.5 to $11.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 to $14.5 million, or a 25% to 27% adjusted EBITDA margin in Q3, adjusted net income of $5.5 to $6.5 million, or approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share on 145 million weighted average shares outstanding. For the full year 2026, we expect revenue of $220 to $222 million, or an 8% to 9% decline year over year. This tightens our guidance range based on our first half performance and visibility into the back half of the year. Our outlook on professional services for the year has weakened versus what we projected 90 days ago. Given the shorter duration of those agreements and the light Q2 bookings, we expect this to have an impact to our second half top-line outlook, which is reflected in the tightened range on our guide.
Casey Heller: This results in expected adjusted operating income of $10.5 to $11.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 to $14.5 million, or a 25% to 27% adjusted EBITDA margin in Q3, adjusted net income of $5.5 to $6.5 million, or approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share on 145 million weighted average shares outstanding. For the full year 2026, we expect revenue of $220 to $222 million, or an 8% to 9% decline year-over-year. This tightens our guidance range based on our H1 performance and visibility into the back half of the year. Our outlook on professional services for the year has weakened versus what we projected 90 days ago.

Speaker #2: Despite the full-year revenue guide tightening around the lower end of our prior range, we are in a position to again raise the midpoint of our profit guidance for the year as a result of our continued work to proactively manage our cost base, while making targeted investments in growth areas that have us excited about the future.
Casey Heller: Despite the full-year revenue guide tightening around the lower end of our prior range, we are in a position to again raise the midpoint on our profit guidance for the year as a result of our continued work to proactively manage our cost base while making targeted investments in growth areas that have us excited about the future. For 2026, we now expect adjusted operating income of $45.5 to $47.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $57 to $59 million for a full year margin of 26% to 27%. This guide increases the midpoint by $1 million, as well as raising the adjusted EBITDA margin by approximately 100 basis points, reflecting the solid start to the H1 of the year and our ongoing commitment to maintaining strong margins while investing in our key growth areas.

Speaker #2: Adjusted net income is expected to be between 27 to 29 million dollars, and earnings per share are expected to be 18 to 20 cents on approximately 145 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Casey Heller: Adjusted net income is expected to be between $27 to $29 million, and earnings per share are expected to be $0.18 to $0.20 on approximately 145 million weighted average shares outstanding. In closing, I would like to emphasize that despite the ongoing pressure on our top line, our priority remains clear: preserving non-GAAP profitability and healthy margins while making disciplined investments that position us for renewed growth. We remain confident in our strategic direction, and we are seeing meaningful traction on our core pillars. Progress we believe will strengthen customer retention, put us back on a path to accelerated growth, and create lasting value for our shareholders. With that, I would like to open it up for questions.

Speaker #3: Hey, this is Matt Shea on for Ryan. Thanks for taking the question. Congrats on the launch of Turbo. You know, maybe with the GA targeted for late 2026, is there any Turbo revenue contemplated in the current guidance?
Matt Shea: Hey, this is Matt Shea on for Ryan. Thanks for taking the question. Congrats on the launch of Turbo. Maybe with GA targeted for late 2026, is there any Turbo revenue contemplated in the current guidance? What are your early thinkings? It sounds like some of this is probably still in development, but what is your early thinkings around the commercial model? Do you look at this more of a bundled retention uplift, or do you plan out rolling out a new premium SKU or more of a usage-based model? Thanks.

Speaker #3: Do you look at this more as a bundled retention uplift, or do you plan on rolling out a new premium SKU, or more of a usage-based model?
Speaker #3: Thanks.
Speaker #2: Thanks for the question, Matt. A couple of elements. One, as it relates to our guide, we're not anticipating any material impact to the 2026 top-line revenue.
Casey Heller: Thanks for the question, Matt. A couple of elements. One, as it relates to our guide, we are not anticipating any material impact to the 2026 top-line revenue. Definitely expect it to be more impactful in 2027. But what we do expect it to have an impact on, given the rollout later in the year, is as we are introducing it to customers, we do think that it has the opportunity to help with retention. Given December and January are our largest renewal periods, we are really hopeful that we will get a chance to influence some of those early as we are spending time with customers on the new platform. The other piece around the early thinking on the model of it, I will say that the pricing on it is still being evaluated ahead of its GA launch later this year.
Casey Heller: Thanks for the question, Matt. A couple of elements. One, as it relates to our guide, we are not anticipating any material impact to the 2026 top-line revenue.

Speaker #2: The other piece around kind of the early thinking on the model of it, I will say that, you know, the pricing on it is still being evaluated ahead of its GA launch later this year.
Speaker #2: We are taking a pretty thoughtful approach to how we're assessing the potential for different structures by cohort. So, what I mean by that is, you know, there may be a difference between a customer who already has access to the majority of our data—they would be expected to get a lot of value out of the platform quickly—versus a smaller customer with a limited data set, who will have the opportunity for greater data module upsells.
Casey Heller: We are taking a pretty thoughtful approach to how we are assessing the potential for different structures by cohort. What I mean by that is, there may be a difference between a customer who already has access to the majority of our data. They would be expected to get a lot of value out of the platform quickly versus a smaller customer with a limited data set will have the opportunity for greater data module upsells. So over time, we do plan to be introducing a usage-based element with tiered pricing as well that will calibrate a bit. But for us right now, we really are just focused on launching the pilots and getting that early customer feedback ahead of GA. This is really exciting for us.

Speaker #3: Okay, really helpful, Casey. Thank you. And then, life sciences remains a bit of a drag, it sounds like. Wondering, now that the claims data is restored above historical levels and in product, have you reopened the claims upsell/cross-sell motion into the life sciences base?
Matt Shea: Okay. Really helpful, Casey. Thank you. Life sciences remains a bit of a drag, it sounds like. Wondering now that the claims data is restored above historical levels and in product, have you reopened the claims upsell, cross-sell motion into the life sciences base? Then maybe if we just take a step back, are you seeing any early evidence that large pharma commercialization budgets are turning at all? I am assuming that the guidance does not assume anything or just assumes the environment stays muted. But just curious qualitatively if you are starting to see any of that budge.
Matt Shea: Okay. Really helpful, Casey. Thank you. Life sciences remains a bit of a drag, it sounds like.

Speaker #3: I'm assuming that, you know, the guidance doesn't assume anything or just kind of assumes the environment stays muted. But just curious, qualitatively, if you're starting to see any of that budge.
Speaker #2: Yeah, on the claims data piece, I think that we're starting to see a little bit of a normalization, where that was driving a significant amount of downsell.
Casey Heller: Yeah. On the claims data piece, I think that where we are starting to see a little bit a normalization where that was driving a significant amount of downsell, we are seeing that start to lessen after we added in additional claims data back in the fall, and then an additional data source we added on into product.
Casey Heller: Yeah. On the claims data piece, I think that where we are starting to see a little bit a normalization where that was driving a significant amount of downsell, we are seeing that start to lessen after we added in additional claims data back in the fall, and then an additional data source we added on into product.
Speaker #2: We're seeing that start to lessen. You know, after we added in additional claims data back in the fall, and then an additional data source we added on into product here in the second quarter.
Kevin Coop: here in Q2. We are hopeful that there still is some more benefit to come on that as we move forward, but I think it still is a little bit early days there. As we look at the pharma spend, I do not know if we are seeing necessarily significant change in the large pharmas right now, but certainly some of the elements that Kevin touched on in his prepared remarks around having a really solid new logo quarter in biopharma. He mentioned that it was our largest new logo period for biopharmas outside of a Q4 in 3 years. That is very encouraging to us. I think we are starting to see some improvements.
Kevin Coop: here in Q2. We are hopeful that there still is some more benefit to come on that as we move forward, but I think it still is a little bit early days there. As we look at the pharma spend, I do not know if we are seeing necessarily significant change in the large pharmas right now, but certainly some of the elements that Kevin touched on in his prepared remarks around having a really solid new logo quarter in biopharma. He mentioned that it was our largest new logo period for biopharmas outside of a Q4 in 3 years. That is very encouraging to us. I think we are starting to see some improvements.
Speaker #2: So we're hopeful that there still is some more benefit to come on that as we move forward, but I think it still is a little bit early days there.
Speaker #2: And then, as we look at the kind of the pharma spend, I don't know if we're seeing necessarily significant change in the large pharmas right now, but certainly some of the elements that Kevin touched on in his prepared remarks around having a really solid new logo quarter in biopharma; you know, he mentioned that it was our largest new logo period for biopharma is outside of a Q4 in three years.
Speaker #2: Like, that's very encouraging to us. So I think we are starting to see some improvements, but of course, you know, we are hopeful that there's more progress to come, and we're keeping kind of our eyes open for some of those bright spots and we're ready to capture that, particularly as we're getting ready to launch Turbo.
Kevin Coop: But of course, we are hopeful that there is more progress to come and we are keeping our eyes open for some of those bright spots, and we are ready to capture that, particularly as we are getting ready to launch Turbo.

Speaker #4: Hi, this is Jay on for Craig. Thanks for taking my question. Just on the current RPO trends, as you kind of move through the back of 2026, are you seeing any early signs that customers are willing to recommit to multi-year deals, or what kind of conditions, you know, whether that's like product improvements, you know, AI adoptions or macro stabilization would be in place to drive that shift?
[Analyst] (Morgan Stanley): Hi, this is Jay on for Craig. Thanks for taking my question. Just on the current RPO trends, as you move through the back half of 2026, are you seeing any early signs that customers are willing to recommit to multi-year deals? Or what kind of conditions, whether that is product improvements, AI adoptions or macro stabilization would be in place to drive that shift? Thank you.
Jay Jin: Hi, this is Jay on for Craig. Thanks for taking my question. Just on the current RPO trends, as you move through the back half of 2026, are you seeing any early signs that customers are willing to recommit to multi-year deals? Or what kind of conditions, whether that is product improvements, AI adoptions or macro stabilization would be in place to drive that shift? Thank you.
Speaker #4: Thank you.
Speaker #2: Yeah, it's a great question. You know, I think that we are starting to see some of the trends around multi-year and single-year deals start to normalize a bit.
Kevin Coop: Yeah, it is a great question. I think that we are starting to see some of the trends around multi-year and single year deals start to normalize a bit. But I am not sure that we are seeing a big shift back towards multi-year, and I think that is just more reflective of the current environment. I can even say from how we look at things internally, we are always watching for where we can be opportunistic. And I think for us right now, that leads to single years. The other thing that I would point to is, even if you go back a couple of years, it was much more common for us to sign multi-year agreements with a new customer and then at renewal they would shift to single year. So I do think there is a bit of just that very normal dynamic for us that comes through.
Casey Heller: Yeah, it is a great question. I think that we are starting to see some of the trends around multi-year and single year deals start to normalize a bit. But I am not sure that we are seeing a big shift back towards multi-year, and I think that is just more reflective of the current environment. I can even say from how we look at things internally, we are always watching for where we can be opportunistic.
Speaker #2: But I'm not sure that we're seeing like a big shift back towards a multi-year. And I think that's just more reflective of the kind of the current environment.
Speaker #2: I mean, I can even say from how we look at things internally, you know, we're always watching for, you know, where we can be opportunistic and I think for us right now, that kind of leads to single-years.
Casey Heller: And I think for us right now, that leads to single years.

Speaker #2: So I do think there's a bit of just that kind of very normal dynamic for us that comes through. Of course, we're always looking at different ways that we can incent customers to lock in for multi-year, but, you know, that would be great.
Kevin Coop: Of course, we are always looking at different ways that we can incent customers to lock in for multi-year, that would be great, but I would not say that that is a critical component or a dependency for us to be able to continue to make progress.
Casey Heller: Of course, we are always looking at different ways that we can incent customers to lock in for multi-year, that would be great, but I would not say that that is a critical component or a dependency for us to be able to continue to make progress.
