Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at 2 purchases and 19 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 1.57 bn USD and net income at -34.8 m USD.

First Advantage Corp. (ticker: FA) is a U.S.-listed business services company traded on the NASDAQ in the United States, with corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. The company operates in a specialized but essential segment of the HR and risk-management ecosystem: employment background screening, identity verification, and related compliance services. In its current corporate form, First Advantage was incorporated in November 2019, but its operating heritage is older; the business traces back to earlier First Advantage activities and has since been reshaped by acquisitions and product expansion. The most important recent strategic event was the completion of its acquisition of Sterling Check Corp. on October 31, 2024, which materially broadened the company’s technology-enabled screening and identity verification capabilities.

First Advantage presents itself as a leading global provider of employment background screening, identity, and verification solutions. Its technology platform is designed to help customers reduce hiring risk, improve onboarding quality, and support ongoing compliance across the workforce lifecycle. Core service lines include criminal background checks, drug and health screening, extended workforce screening, biometrics and identity, education and employment verification, resident screening, fleet and driver compliance, executive screening, data analytics, continuous monitoring, social media monitoring, and hiring tax incentives. This broad portfolio gives the company a diversified revenue base within a category that is operationally sticky and deeply embedded in enterprise HR workflows.

Geographically, First Advantage is a genuinely international business. Its 2024 annual report indicates that about 86% of revenue came from the United States, while the balance was generated abroad, with no single non-U.S. country accounting for 10% or more of total revenue. The company reports through three segments: First Advantage Americas, First Advantage International, and Sterling. The operating footprint spans North America, Europe, India, and Asia Pacific, and the company also lists additional offices across Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Panama, and the Philippines. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1210677/000095017025058058/2024_annual_report.pdf))
From a competitive standpoint, FA competes in a fragmented but increasingly technology-driven market where scale, data quality, automation, and compliance capabilities matter. Its positioning is strengthened by proprietary technology, automated workflows, and a large network of third-party data providers, which support faster turnaround times and better customer experience. The Sterling acquisition is the key recent milestone and should be viewed as a strategic expansion of the company’s identity and verification stack rather than a simple capacity addition. For investors, First Advantage is best understood as a U.S.-listed, NASDAQ-traded B2B information-services platform tied to hiring, compliance, and workforce risk management, with recurring demand characteristics and meaningful international exposure.
