The company reported $2.92 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $2.71 by $0.21, reports. Concentrix had a positive return on equity of 19.82% and a negative net margin of 13.16%.The company had revenue of $2.45 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $2.48 billion. During the same period in the previous year, the business earned $2.78 EPS. Concentrix’s revenue for the quarter was down 1.2% on a year-over-year basis. Concentrix updated its FY 2026 guidance to 10.970-11.090 EPS and its Q4 2026 guidance to 2.860-2.980 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Concentrix’s conference call:

• AI-driven and transformed revenue surpassed 50% of total revenue, with new business revenue expected to exceed $6 billion in 2027. Management said these offerings are growing faster, carry higher margins, and have substantially stronger retention than the traditional business.
• Third-quarter profitability exceeded guidance, with non-GAAP operating income of $309 million, a 12.6% margin, and adjusted EBITDA of $363 million; both margins improved 30 basis points year over year. Adjusted free cash flow reached a record third-quarter level of $218 million.
• Revenue declined 0.5% year over year on a constant-currency basis, and management expects a steeper 3%-5% constant-currency decline in the fourth quarter. Reduced support from two hyperscaler clients, accelerated AI automation, and a roughly 3% headwind from offshore mix are weighing on near-term growth.
• Concentrix reduced net debt by approximately $211 million in the quarter and expects to lower net leverage to about 2.6 times adjusted EBITDA by fiscal year-end and roughly 2.2 times by the end of fiscal 2027. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.37 per share and expects 2027 free cash flow to exceed 2026 levels.
• GAAP results included a $1.05 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge, triggered by the company’s stock trading range during the quarter. Management also expects 2027 growth to be weighted toward the second half, with automation and client-transition effects likely to continue affecting the first half.
