ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. Earnings Recaps
Q1 2026
May 12, 2026

Key takeaways
- Q1 revenue grew just 1.5% year-over-year to $310 million, indicating clear deceleration.
- Adjusted operating income margin improved by over 2 points YoY to 35%, but margin expansion faces pressure from near-term headwinds.

- Significant cost reductions and restructuring efforts are underway to improve operating margins and shift focus toward data-led, consumption-based revenue models.
