Insights

Globant delivered modest 7% YoY growth with stable margins amid challenging macro conditions; future guidance indicates further growth deceleration.

Globant's Q1 2025 results show a 7.0% year-over-year revenue growth to $611.1 million, representing a significant deceleration from the company's historical growth rates. While still expanding, this modest growth reflects the challenging macroeconomic environment that management explicitly acknowledged is impacting customer spending.

Profitability metrics show slight pressure compared to the same period last year. The IFRS Gross Profit Margin declined to 34.9% from 35.4% in Q1 2024, while Non-IFRS Adjusted Gross Profit Margin remained stable at 38.0%. Similarly, IFRS Profit from Operations Margin decreased slightly to 8.2% from 8.4%, and Non-IFRS Adjusted Profit from Operations Margin dipped to 14.8% from 15.0%.

The IFRS Diluted EPS showed a substantial decline to $0.68 compared to $1.02 in Q1 2024 (a 33.3% decrease), while Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased slightly to $1.50 from $1.53.

The forward guidance suggests further growth deceleration. For Q2 2025, Globant expects revenues of at least $612.0 million, representing 4.2% year-over-year growth. The full year 2025 revenue guidance of at least $2,464.0 million implies a minimum 2.0% year-over-year growth, significantly lower than the current quarter's growth rate.

Globant's client diversification metrics remain healthy, with 341 accounts generating more than $1 million in annual revenues, up from 318 a year ago. However, with $120.2 million in cash and cash equivalents against $285.0 million drawn from their credit facility, the company's net debt position deserves monitoring.

Management's focus on AI opportunities and their "100-squared" client-centric vision indicates strategic efforts to navigate the challenging environment. Their explicit mention of focusing on "margins, cash flow and capital allocation" suggests they're balancing growth aspirations with profitability imperatives in the current economic climate.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

While the financial figures included in this press release have been computed in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" or a financial statement as defined by International Accounting Standards 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The financial information in this press release has not been audited.

Globant provides non-IFRS financial measures in addition to reported IFRS results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the company's business and uses the non-IFRS financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the company's business and evaluating its performance. The company anticipates that it will continue to report both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures in its financial results, including non-IFRS measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related charges, and the related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Because the company's non-IFRS financial measures are not calculated according to IFRS, these measures are not comparable to IFRS and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-IFRS measures reported by other companies within the company's industry. Consequently, Globant's non-IFRS financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable IFRS measures, but, rather, should be considered together with its condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and its condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Globant is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Adjusted Profit from Operations Margin or Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, and the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

Forward Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "expect," "predict," "potential," or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our outlook and guidance, and our strategies, priorities and business plans. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that could impact our actual results include: our ability to maintain current resource utilization rates and productivity levels; our ability to manage attrition and attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals; our ability to accurately price our client contracts; our ability to achieve our anticipated growth; our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth; our ability to retain our senior management team and other key employees; our ability to continue to innovate and remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related market trends; our ability to retain our business relationships and client contracts; our ability to manage the impact of global adverse economic conditions; our ability to manage uncertainty concerning the instability in the current economic, political and social environment in Latin America; and other factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any other risk factors we include in subsequent reports on Form 6-K.

Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any investment decisions based on our estimates and forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this press release whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
