Notby, The Tax & Accounting Professionals Segment posted the Strongest Performance, Rising 11% From A Year ago.
However, The Company Faced Drag From A 7% Decline In ITS Global Print Segment and Ongoing Integration Issues from Acquisitions and Devals, Which Led to a Net Negative Impact of 5% On Total Revenue Growth. WHILE CORE SEGMENTS REMAINED RESILIEN, THE LEGAL PROFESSIONALS DIVISION SAW A MODEST 2% DECINE IN REVENUE, AND GLOBAL PRINT CONTINUES TO BE A STRUCTURAL CHALLENGE.
Looking Ahead, Ceo Steve Hasker Emphasized The Company’s Commitment To Innovation, Citing the Launch of Ai-Driven Tools Like Cocounsel Legal and enhanced offers for tax, audit, and accounting professionals. The Company Reapffirmed Its Full-Year 2025 Outlook, Anticipating Organic Revenue Growth of 7.0%–7.5%and Total Revenue Growth of 3%–3.5%, Coupled with A stable adjusted ebitda margin near 39%.
