Accenture plc, through its wholly owned subsidiary Accenture Capital Inc., completed a multi-tranche senior notes offering. Accenture Capital sold $300,000,000 of floating rate notes due 2029, $1,000,000,000 of 4.750% senior notes due 2029, $1,500,000,000 of 5.000% senior notes due 2031, $1,100,000,000 of 5.300% senior notes due 2033 and $1,100,000,000 of 5.600% senior notes due 2036.
The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Accenture. The aggregate public offering price was $4.997 billion, with estimated net proceeds of approximately $4.979 billion after underwriting discounts and before expenses. The securities were issued under an existing shelf registration on Form S-3 and an Indenture dated October 4, 2024, with specific terms for each series set by an officer’s certificate dated July 10, 2026.
Accenture plc increased its fiscal 2026 share repurchase program by $2 billion, bringing total planned buybacks to $7.5 billion, a 62% increase over the prior year. All repurchases are expected to be completed by August 31, 2026 under an existing Board authorization.
The additional $2 billion is on top of $300 million already planned for the current quarter, lifting expected fourth-quarter repurchases to $2.3 billion. Year-to-date, Accenture has returned $8.2 billion to shareholders, and total planned fiscal 2026 shareholder returns are expected to reach $11.5 billion. Leadership states the larger repurchase reflects their view that the current share price does not fully reflect the company’s financial strength and long-term AI-driven growth opportunity.
Accenture reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues of $18.7 billion, up 6% in U.S. dollars and 3% in local currency, with operating margin expanding to 17.0%. Diluted EPS rose 9% to $3.80, supported by higher operating income of $3.18 billion.
Free cash flow was $3.6 billion, and the company returned $2.2 billion to shareholders through $1.2 billion of share repurchases and $1.0 billion of dividends. For full-year fiscal 2026, Accenture now expects local-currency revenue growth of 3%–4% (4%–5% excluding U.S. federal impact) and GAAP diluted EPS of $13.38–$13.50, a 10%–11% increase over fiscal 2025.
Accenture plc entered into two new senior unsecured revolving credit facilities totaling $8.1 billion. A new Five-Year Credit Agreement provides a $5.925 billion revolving facility, and a new 364-Day Credit Agreement provides a $2.175 billion revolving facility. These Credit Agreements replace Accenture’s prior $5.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which was terminated on April 22, 2026.
Borrowings are available in U.S. dollars and certain other currencies. U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest at SOFR or a base rate, plus a margin tied to Accenture’s credit ratings. The facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, including to backstop Accenture’s commercial paper program, whose maximum issuance capacity is increased to $8.1 billion. The agreements include customary covenants such as a minimum interest coverage ratio and standard events of default.
Accenture reported a strong second quarter of fiscal 2026, highlighted by record demand and higher full-year guidance. New bookings reached $22.1 billion, up 6% in U.S. dollars, including 41 clients with quarterly bookings above $100 million. Revenues were $18.0 billion, an 8% increase in U.S. dollars and 4% in local currency, at the top of the company’s adjusted guided range. Operating margin expanded to 13.8%, and diluted EPS rose 4% to $2.93. Free cash flow was $3.7 billion, with $2.7 billion returned to shareholders through $1.7 billion of share repurchases or redemptions of 6.8 million shares and $1.0 billion of dividends at $1.63 per share, 10% higher than last year. Accenture now expects full‑year fiscal 2026 revenue growth of 3%–5% in local currency, GAAP diluted EPS of $13.25–$13.50 (up 9%–11%), adjusted EPS of $13.65–$13.90 (up 6%–8%), and raised its free cash flow outlook to $10.8–$11.5 billion.
Accenture plc reported results from its 2026 annual general meeting. Shareholders approved an amended and restated 2010 Share Incentive Plan that authorizes an additional 7 million shares for issuance and extends the plan’s term until December 12, 2035.
Shareholders elected all nominated directors, approved on an advisory basis the compensation of named executive officers, and approved the amended share incentive plan. They also ratified KPMG LLP as independent auditor, authorized the Board to issue shares and opt out of pre-emption rights under Irish law, and set the price range for re-allotting treasury shares.
Accenture plc reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on November 30, 2025, in a news release furnished with this report. The company highlighted several non-GAAP measures, including free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow minus property and equipment additions, to give additional insight into liquidity.
Accenture also presented percentage changes in revenues and bookings on a local currency basis by restating current period activity into U.S. dollars using prior-year exchange rates, to show performance without foreign exchange effects. In addition, it provided adjusted financial measures that exclude business optimization costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to help explain the impact of these costs on its performance versus the prior period. Reconciliations to GAAP figures are included in the news release, which is attached as Exhibit 99.
Accenture plc furnished a Form 8-K stating it issued a news release on September 25, 2025 announcing financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended August 31, 2025. The filing notes the news release is furnished, not filed, and that it includes non-GAAP financial measures such as free cash flow, local-currency percentage changes in revenues and bookings, and adjusted measures that exclude certain business optimization costs recorded in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. The company explains its methods for calculating these measures and states that reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the news release. The filing characterizes the non-GAAP information as supplemental to, not a substitute for, GAAP results.
Accenture plc (ACN) filed an 8-K announcing a sweeping organizational realignment and a series of senior leadership changes effective 1 September 2025. The company will consolidate its five current service lines—Strategy, Consulting, Song, Technology and Operations—into a single, integrated business unit named Reinvention Services. The new unit will be led by Manish Sharma, presently CEO of the Americas, who will assume the newly created role of Chief Services Officer.
To backfill Sharma, John Walsh (current Chief Operating Officer) will become CEO of the Americas, while Kate Hogan (currently COO of the Americas) will rise to global Chief Operating Officer. All three will hold seats on the Global Management Committee (GMC).
Additional appointments include:
- Kate Clifford promoted to Chief Leadership & Human Resources Officer, joining the GMC and succeeding Angela Beatty.
- Jason Dess elevated to Group Chief Executive – Consulting, succeeding Jack Azagury.
- Rajendra Prasad named Group Chief Executive – Technology & Chief Technology Officer, succeeding Karthik Narain.
No determinations regarding new compensation arrangements have been made, and no financial guidance was provided. The restructuring signals Accenture’s intent to streamline its go-to-market model and deepen cross-service integration, but also introduces execution risk given the number of simultaneous leadership transitions.
On 20 June 2025, Accenture plc filed a Form 8-K to furnish its fiscal 2025 third-quarter results for the period ended 31 May 2025. The filing’s sole purpose is to attach the detailed earnings news release as Exhibit 99; numerical performance data are not reproduced within the 8-K itself.
Management reiterates three recurring non-GAAP performance indicators included in the release: (1) free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures), (2) revenue and bookings growth expressed in local currency to neutralise FX volatility, and (3) adjusted results that exclude prior-year business-optimisation costs. Full GAAP reconciliations for these measures are said to be provided in the exhibit.
The information is being furnished—not filed—under Item 2.02, meaning it is not automatically incorporated into other SEC filings. No acquisitions, capital-structure actions, executive changes, or litigation updates are reported. From an investor standpoint, the 8-K is an administrative notice signalling that the comprehensive Q3 FY25 figures and narratives are available in the attached press release.
