Upwork's Q2 2026 10-Q shows revenue of $191.7M, down 2% year over year, with net income of $25.4M, down 22%, as GSV fell 4% to $966.4M and active clients declined 4% to 763 thousand. The company initiated its 2026 Restructuring in May 2026, cutting roughly 20% of its workforce by June 30 with a total reduction of approximately 24% expected by December 31, 2026, incurring $13.8M in restructuring charges plus $12.4M in employee retention awards.
