Positive Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

MediaAlpha said Chief Financial Officer Patrick Thompson will step down, and Tigran Sinanyan, a former CFO who is currently Senior Vice President of Finance, will succeed him effective October 1, 2026. The company also said third quarter 2026 revenue, contribution, and adjusted EBITDA are now expected to be at or above the top end of its previously disclosed guidance ranges, which matters to shareholders because it is an improved outlook alongside a senior finance leadership change.

Key points

  • Patrick Thompson's last day is October 30, 2026; he will serve as a consultant through February 26, 2027.
  • Q3 2026 revenue, contribution, and adjusted EBITDA are expected at or above the top end of guidance ranges from the July 29, 2026 second quarter earnings release.
  • Thompson said his transition is not related to any disagreement with the company on accounting, strategy, operations, or other matters.
