This decision reflects our shared conviction in a landscape where "services are the new software" and AI enables enterprises to buy outcomes rather than just tools.
"We are at the beginning of the most consequential transformation the technology services industry has ever seen. The most influential voices in tech are investing beyond models into delivery and deployment — and the demand for cost-effective AI solutions has never been more urgent. Our AI Pods model is built precisely for this moment. This new repurchase program reflects our confidence in that direction and our commitment to delivering long-term value to shareholders," said Martín Migoya, Chairman and CEO of Globant.
"This share repurchase program is supported by our free cash flow generation, and it's a key component of our disciplined capital allocation strategy. As we engage in this program, we will continue investing in strategic growth initiatives," added Juan Urthiague, Globant's CFO.
The timing and price of repurchases as well as the actual number of shares repurchased under the program will be at the discretion of Globant and will depend on a variety of factors, including business and market conditions, the share price, regulatory requirements and limitations, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, legal requirements and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness, alternative investment opportunities, acquisition opportunities and other factors. Globant is not obligated to repurchase any specific amount of shares. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time or periodically without prior notice.
