FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ITG, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITG) (“ITG" or "the Company”), a leading provider of end-to-end services to the digital infrastructure industry, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
“Our third quarter results demonstrate the continued strength of the business and our ability to execute efficiently for customers even as activity increased substantially in the period,” said Andy Parrott, Chief Executive Officer of ITG. “Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA reached record levels and exceeded the outlook we provided last quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin also improved both year-over-year and sequentially, reflecting higher activity levels, improved asset utilization and solid execution by our operating teams.”
“Demand remains broadly healthy across our communications and digital infrastructure markets, with particular strength in broadband wireline infrastructure deployment. We continue to expand our work with both newer and long-standing customers and leverage growth opportunities created by significant customer investment in broadband, network upgrades and data center connectivity. Our broad turnkey services, national operating model and ability to support customers across both new installation and full lifecycle services position us well as a leading service provider for our customers.”
“We enter the fourth quarter with substantial revenue visibility and are actively exploring opportunities for partnerships with new customers, including several new wins confirmed in September. Our priorities remain focused on executing for our customers, converting awarded work into profitable revenue, improving cash conversion and focusing on disciplined capital allocation. Our updated outlook reflects our confidence in the business and our expectations for continued profitable growth,” Mr. Parrott concluded.

APPENDIX
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations of future performance, including guidance for our revenue, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and our NTM Backlog as of September 30, 2026. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “seek”, “should”, “will”, “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Such statements are not historical facts but rather are based on the Company’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results contemplated by the forward-looking statements, including those described in the registration statements and periodic reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Company’s final prospectus dated June 30, 2026 and filed with the SEC on July 2, 2026. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Company’s registration statements and periodic reports.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Income. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, cash generation, liquidity, leverage profile and ability to execute its strategic priorities. The Company believes these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors in evaluating period-to-period operating performance and financial position.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are provided below.
The Company is providing guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income. The Company is not providing quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting certain items that affect GAAP results, including, as applicable, acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation, changes in working capital, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, tax impacts, and other items that may be material and difficult to forecast. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results.
