Analysis
ITG reported Q3 2026 revenue of $461,528 thousand, up 49% from $309,174 thousand in Q3 2025, and Adjusted EBITDA of $64,542 thousand, up 64% from $39,333 thousand. The company describes both as record levels. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 14.0% in Q3 2026 against 12.7% in Q3 2025. The company attributes the margin improvement to higher activity levels, improved asset utilization and execution by its operating teams. Nine-month revenue was $1,200,083 thousand against $826,966 thousand, and nine-month Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 12.8% against 13.3% in the prior-year nine months, so the margin trend is not uniform across the year as printed.
The GAAP picture is weaker than the non-GAAP one. Q3 2026 net income attributable to ITG, Inc. was $(6,149) thousand against $827 thousand a year earlier, and nine-month net loss attributable to ITG was $(17,519) thousand against net income of $14,006 thousand. Interest expense rose to $(19,880) thousand in Q3 2026 from $(15,920) thousand, and $(57,639) thousand for nine months 2026 from $(29,665) thousand. Selling, general and administrative expense rose to $39,696 thousand from $20,626 thousand in the quarter, and equity-based compensation and restructuring, integration and business optimization costs are both larger in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation than a year earlier. Q3 2026 also carries a $6,677 thousand net income attributable to non-controlling interests, which the release does not explain further.
Cash generation is mixed. Q3 2026 free cash flow was $62,750 thousand against $26,187 thousand, and Q3 free cash flow conversion was 97.2% against 66.6%. Nine-month operating cash flow, however, was $(89,398) thousand against $26,893 thousand. The balance sheet shows contract assets of $369,791 thousand against $222,094 thousand at December 31, 2025, and accounts receivable of $183,110 thousand against $141,314 thousand, so working capital absorbed cash over the nine months. Cash and cash equivalents were $160 thousand at September 30, 2026. Total debt-related lines included a revolving line of credit of $77,000 thousand, non-current term loans of $411,885 thousand, and non-current equipment loans of $85,331 thousand. The company also recorded a $50,163 thousand payable under its tax receivable agreement and a $45,633 thousand deferred tax asset.
The company's NTM Backlog was $1,539 million at September 30, 2026, against $1,209 million a year earlier and $1,517 million at June 30, 2026. The release describes the backlog as supporting revenue visibility, and states that the timing of revenue from backlog projects is subject to change. The FY 2026 outlook now shows revenue of $1,578 million, +37% year-over-year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $203 million, +37%. The Q4 2026 outlook shows revenue of $378 million, +15%, and Adjusted EBITDA of $51 million, +31%. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is guided at 13.4% for Q4 2026 (+170 bps) and 12.9% for FY 2026 (+10 bps). The release does not give a prior outlook, so the company's statement that results exceeded the prior outlook cannot be checked against figures in this filing.
The release contains no segment or product line revenue breakdown, no gross margin figure, no EPS, and no prior-year comparison for several nine-month and balance sheet lines. Those gaps are listed in missing_items.
Management, verbatim
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.
Andy Parrott, Chief Executive Officer
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.

Written by an AI language model from the company’s SEC earnings filing (Form 8-K Item 2.02, or Form 6-K for a foreign private issuer). Every figure is checked against the filing text, and a metric the filing does not print, or whose value, prior period and change do not add up, is dropped from the metrics. The model can still misread a table, in the metrics or in the text, so check a number in the filing before you rely on it. Consensus estimates, price targets and share-price reactions are not shown because they are not in the filing. AI-generated research, not investment advice.
