First Advantage Reports Record Q3 2026 Revenue Driven by Americas Volume and Holiday Hiring
First Advantage Corporation (FA) reported strong third-quarter 2026 financial results, achieving record revenue of $465.8 million, a 13.8% increase year-over-year. Growth was primarily fueled by volume acceleration in the Americas and an earlier holiday hiring season. The company also saw significant margin expansion, with Adjusted EBITDA rising 15.2% to $136.5 million due to operating leverage and cost savings from data management. While domestic performance remains robust, international revenue declined 4% year-over-year, impacted by macroeconomic uncertainty and disruptions in the Middle East and APAC regions. Despite this, the company continues to integrate recent acquisitions like Sterling and Data Diver Technologies, which contributed significantly to earnings per share growth through synergies and share buybacks.
