Michael P. Connors, Chairman and CEO of ISG, commented:
“We continue to witness broad-based demand across all of our geographies and service lines, extending the favorable revenue trends recorded during the second quarter. The integration of Compass and STA Consulting is nearly complete. Our strong performance reflects the success of our strategy to build a unified go-to-market approach with enhanced product offerings in research, consulting and managed services with a streamlined operational footprint. Based on current business trends, we raise our full year revenue guidance to a range of $180 to $185 million and re-affirm our adjusted EBITDA guidance of $19-$21 million, which excludes integration costs. Based on client demand, we are investing now to enhance our product offerings, expand resources and create new service lines to sustain our growth over the next several years.
We capitalized on recent market volatility by repurchasing $0.6 million of ISG shares in the open market during the quarter, reflecting confidence in our long-term outlook. We will continue to make opportunistic purchases in the future as an effective use for our free cash flow.”
