Definitive 2025 Q2 Earnings Strong Improvement in Net Loss

Definitive Healthcare (DH) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 8, 2025. The company delivered a notable reduction in losses, with adjusted guidance reflecting a more confident outlook, as CEO Kevin Coop highlighted progress on strategic priorities.

Definitive reported total revenue of $60.75 million for Q2 2025, a 4.7% decline from $63.74 million in the same period last year. Subscription services remained the primary revenue driver, contributing $58.20 million, while professional services generated $2.55 million. This represents a continued shift toward recurring revenue streams.

The company significantly narrowed its net loss to $-9.27 million in Q2 2025, a 97.0% reduction from $-306.19 million in the prior year period. On a per-share basis, losses also dropped from $1.81 to $0.07, reflecting a 96.1% improvement. Despite these gains, Definitive has posted losses for four consecutive years in this fiscal quarter, underscoring ongoing financial challenges. This marked improvement in net income is a positive step for the company.

Definitive’s stock experienced mixed performance in the short term. Shares fell 7.66% on the most recent trading day, but gained 3.21% over the full trading week. Month-to-date, the stock has declined by 7.43%.

The post-earnings price action review highlights a concerning trend for investors. A strategy of buying shares following a revenue increase and holding for 30 days has underperformed severely over the past three years, delivering a -67.66% return versus a 47.91% benchmark. This strategy has a -31.67% CAGR, indicating a substantial loss in value.

CEO Kevin Coop emphasized that the company is making steady progress on its strategic initiatives and has increased confidence in the actions taken to strengthen the business. He also noted the improved first-half performance has prompted an upward revision to the company’s revenue guidance and adjusted EBITDA forecast for the year.

For Q3 2025, Definitive expects revenue between $59.0 million and $60.0 million, with adjusted EBITDA projected at $15.5–$16.5 million (26–28% margin). Full-year FY2025 revenue guidance is now set at $237.0–$240.0 million (midpoint raised by $3.0 million), with adjusted EBITDA forecasted at $64.0–$67.0 million (27–28% margin). Adjusted net income is expected to reach $32.5–$34.5 million, or $0.22–$0.23 per diluted share.
