AI-fueled CI&T (NYSE: CINT) lifts 2026 guidance after 23% Q1 revenue jump
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
CI&T Inc reported strong first-quarter 2026 results, with revenue rising 23.2% year over year to US$136.6 million, driven by broad-based demand and AI-related projects. At constant currency, revenue grew 15.5%, marking a sixth straight quarter of double-digit organic expansion.
Financial services and technology/telecom were standout verticals, and Latin America led geographically with 33.0% revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA was US$20.8 million, with a 15.2% margin, while adjusted profit reached US$10.2 million. Diluted EPS was US$0.06 and adjusted diluted EPS US$0.08, both higher than a year earlier.
Management highlighted growing AI deployment and early AI monetization, noting that 20% of new sales used new pricing models. The company now expects at least US$140.0 million in second-quarter 2026 revenue and has raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to US$555.8–575.3 million, with an estimated adjusted EBITDA margin between 17.0% and 19.0%.
Positive
- Robust top-line growth: Q1 2026 revenue increased 23.2% year over year to US$136.6 million, with 15.5% growth at constant currency and double-digit expansion across most verticals and regions.
- Raised full-year outlook: 2026 revenue guidance increased to US$555.8–575.3 million, implying 13.5–17.5% organic growth, with an expected adjusted EBITDA margin between 17.0% and 19.0%.
- AI commercialization gaining traction: Management reported 20% of new Q1 2026 sales already using new AI-driven pricing models, supporting the longer-term margin and growth narrative.
Negative
- Margin compression despite growth: Adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 17.6% in Q1 2025 to 15.2% in Q1 2026, and adjusted gross margin fell from 33.1% to 30.6%, reflecting higher service and operating costs.
- Cash generation softer year over year: Net cash from operating activities decreased to US$11.1 million from US$17.6 million in the prior-year quarter, partly due to working capital movements.
- Increased leverage and financial costs: Loans and borrowings stood at US$120.9 million at March 31, 2026, and net finance costs rose 14.2% year over year to US$2.0 million.
Insights
Strong AI-led growth, higher 2026 guidance, but softer margins.
CI&T delivered Q1 2026 revenue of US$136.6 million, up 23.2% year over year, with 15.5% growth at constant currency. Expansion was broad-based across industries and regions, especially financial services, technology/telecom, and Latin America.
Profitability improved in absolute terms but margins compressed. Adjusted EBITDA rose to US$20.8 million, yet the adjusted EBITDA margin slipped from 17.6% to 15.2%, reflecting higher service costs and increased sales and amortization expenses linked to growth initiatives and CI&T Flow.
Management emphasized two AI-driven growth vectors—deployment and monetization—with 20% of new sales already on new pricing models. The company raised 2026 revenue guidance to US$555.8–575.3 million and projected an adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.0–19.0%, framing AI monetization and execution on this guidance as key drivers for future performance.

CI&T Reports 23.2% Organic Revenue Growth in 1Q26, Driven by Strong AI Deployment Momentum and Emerging AI Monetization
New York - May 11, 2026 - CI&T (NYSE: CINT, “Company”), a global partner in tech-integrated business solutions, today announces its results for the first quarter of 2026 (1Q26) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS® Accounting Standards), as issued by the IASB. For comparison purposes, we refer to the results for the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25). The numbers are presented in U.S. dollars.

| ● | Revenue of US$136.6 million, a 23.2% increase compared to US$110.9 million in 1Q25. |
| ● | Revenue growth at constant currency was 15.5% compared to 1Q25. |

Cesar Gon, founder and CEO of CI&T, commented, “Our record start to 2026, marked by 23.2% organic growth in 1Q26, confirms that CI&T is successfully evolving into a global partner for tech-integrated business solutions. We continue to advance two distinct AI-driven growth vectors: AI deployment, which expands revenue through IP-based solutions and AI-adoption engagements, and AI monetization, which expands margins by evolving our pricing models to capture a greater share of the productivity gains and business value created by AI.
These two growth vectors are becoming increasingly visible in our results.
2025 was a very strong year for AI deployment, and this trend has only strengthened in 2026. At the same time, our AI monetization efforts
are becoming more tangible: in 1Q26, 20% of new sales were already based on new pricing models. We expect these models to contribute to
gross margin expansion over the coming quarters as adoption continues to accelerate. Together with a robust and accelerating sales pipeline,
these dynamics give us the confidence to increase our full-year revenue guidance.”
Comments on the 1Q26 financial performance
Revenue reached US$136.6 million in 1Q26, a 23.2% increase from US$110.9 million in 1Q25, or a 15.5% growth at constant currency, marking our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic revenue growth. This performance was underpinned by AI deployment and broad-based demand, characterized by an 18.9% expansion within our top 10 accounts and double-digit growth across nearly all industry verticals, with the exception of a stable Consumer Goods segment. Geographically, Latin America led the acceleration with 33% growth, complemented by 16% and 11% increases in North America and New Markets, respectively.
w w w. c i a n d t . c o m |
The cost of services provided was US$96.8 million in 1Q26, a 26.7% increase from 1Q25, primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange variation and higher employee expenses due to increased Brazilian payroll taxes.
Gross profit was US$39.8 million, a 15.4% increase compared to 1Q25. Adjusted gross profit reached US$41.8 million in 1Q26, up 13.8% from US$36.7 million in 1Q25. Adjusted gross profit margin was 30.6% in 1Q26.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) and other operating expenses totaled US$25.6 million in 1Q26, a 26.2% increase compared to 1Q25. This increase was primarily driven by sales initiatives to foster revenue growth and amortization expenses, mainly associated with the investments in CI&T Flow, our AI management system.
Adjusted EBITDA reached US$20.8 million in 1Q26, a 6.3% increase from US$19.6 million in 1Q25. In 1Q26, the adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.2%.
Net finance costs totaled US$2.0 million in 1Q26, up 14.2% from 1Q25, primarily driven by lower income from financial investments, partially offset by lower interest expenses on loans and leases. Income tax expense was US$4.6 million in 1Q26, a 7.7% decrease from 1Q25. This decrease was primarily driven by tax benefits from Interest on Equity (JCP) in Brazil and the recognition of deferred tax assets in international operations.
Profit was US$7.6 million in 1Q26, up 1.6% from 1Q25. Adjusted profit was US$10.2 million, an increase of 6.2% compared to 1Q25, with an adjusted profit margin of 7.5%. In 1Q26, diluted EPS was US$0.06, a 6.9% increase from 1Q25. Adjusted diluted EPS were US$0.08, up 11.8% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Business Outlook
We expect our revenue for the second quarter of 2026 to be at least US$140.0 million, representing a 19.5% increase compared to US$117.2 million in 2Q25. This reflects 13.9% year-over-year growth at constant currency.
For the full year of 2026, we are increasing our guidance. We expect our revenue to be in the range of US$555.8 million to US$575.3 million, implying organic revenue growth of 13.5% to 17.5% year over year. This expected growth includes a positive FX impact of around 350 basis points. In addition, we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 17.0% to 19.0%.
These estimates assume an average FX rate of 5.11 BRL/USD in 2Q26 and 5.17 BRL/USD in 2026.
These expectations are forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
We regularly monitor certain financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. These non-IFRS financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Profit, Adjusted Profit Margin, Revenue at Constant Currency, and Adjusted Diluted EPS. They should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, but not as substitutes for results under IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition, our calculation of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures are provided as additional information to enhance investors’ understanding of our operations’ historical and current financial performance.
CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-IFRS Revenue at Constant Currency and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it cannot reasonably predict the outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation expenses, the tax effect of non-IFRS measures, foreign currency exchange gains/losses, and other items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on our IFRS-reported results for the guidance period.
We calculate Revenue at Constant Currency by translating Revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations.
In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Diluted EPS we exclude cost components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods presented, the adjustments applied to Adjusted Gross profit were: (i) depreciation and amortization related to the costs of services provided; and (ii) share-based compensation expenses.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented as Profit, plus net finance costs, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expenses.
w w w. c i a n d t . c o m |
For the periods presented, the adjustments on Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Diluted EPS were: (i) share-based compensation expenses; (ii) acquisition-related expenses: amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies; and (iii) the tax effects of non-IFRS adjustments.

We also evaluate the tax scenario of each entity, taking into account whether deferred income tax assets would be realizable. Then, we apply the corresponding tax rate for the entity. |

Since November 10, 2021 CI&T has been a publicly-held company registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “CINT”.

| 2. | Basis of accounting |
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2026, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025 ('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSâ Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board “IASB” (IFRS Accounting Standards). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Parent Company's Board of Directors on May 08, 2026.

| 3. | Functional and presentation currency |
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Parent Company, along with those of its subsidiaries, are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates, referred to as the "functional currency." For the Parent Company, this functional currency is the Brazilian Reais (R$). For presentation purposes, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in United States dollars (US$).
| 4. | Use of judgments and estimates |
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
| 4.1 | Fair value Measurement |
There were no changes in the Group’s valuation processes, valuation techniques, and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period. When available, observable market data is used, and third-party valuations are assessed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and appropriate classification within the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are categorized into Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets) and Level 2 (observable inputs other than quoted prices). The Group does not hold assets or liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which involves unobservable inputs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the period, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements during 2026.
