Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed July 28, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

IQVIA Holdings Inc. furnished an 8-K under Item 2.02 on July 28, 2026, attaching a press release reporting results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Revenue was $4,368 milliona, up 8.7% year-over-year on a reported basis, with GAAP net income of $256 million, GAAP diluted EPS of $1.53, Adjusted EBITDA of $994 million (up 9.2%), and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.15 (up 12.1%). R&D Solutions net new bookings were $3.15 billion, up 19% year-over-year, with a 1.22x book-to-bill ratio. Results are presented under the company's new two-segment structure, Commercial Solutions and Research & Development Solutions, effective January 1, 2026.

Management raised full-year 2026 guidance for revenue to $17,275 million to $17,475 millionb, Adjusted EBITDA to $4,000 million to $4,050 million, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to $12.80 to $13.00. The filing attributes the revenue raise to approximately 100 basis points higher organic growth and about 50 basis points higher M&A contribution, partly offset by roughly 80 basis points of unfavorable foreign exchange versus prior guidance. Balance sheet metrics show cash of $1,909 million, debt of $15,999 million, net debt of $14,090 million, and a Net Leverage Ratio of 3.59x trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA.

Second-quarter operating cash flow was $558 millionc and free cash flow was $360 million. The company repurchased $398 million of stock in the quarter, with $2,819 million of authorization remaining as of June 30, 2026.
