Concentrix (NASDAQ: CNXC) Q1 2026 revenue grows as earnings and cash flow weaken

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Concentrix reported mixed first quarter 2026 results. Revenue rose to $2,500.4 million, up 5.4% year-on-year, but GAAP net income fell to $21.6 million from $70.3 million, with diluted EPS dropping to $0.33 from $1.04.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS declined more modestly to $2.61 from $2.79, and adjusted EBITDA decreased to $348.2 million from $374.2 million. Operating cash flow was a use of $83.2 million and adjusted free cash flow was a use of $144.6 million. The company paid a $0.36 dividend, repurchased about 1 million shares for $42.0 million, and guided to low single-digit constant-currency revenue growth and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.57–$2.69 for Q2 and $11.48–$12.07 for full-year 2026, with expected adjusted free cash flow of $630–$650 million.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Sharp GAAP earnings decline and margin compression: Q1 2026 GAAP net income dropped to $21.6 million from $70.3 million and operating margin fell from 7.1% to 4.7%, indicating significantly weaker profitability despite higher revenue.
• Negative near-term cash generation: Cash flow used in operations was $83.2 million and adjusted free cash flow was a use of $144.6 million in the quarter, highlighting pressure on cash generation ahead of the stronger full-year free cash flow outlook.

Insights

Equity analyst

Revenue grew modestly, but GAAP profit, margins and cash flow weakened.

Concentrix posted Q1 2026 revenue of $2,500.4 million, up 5.4%, but segment data show uneven trends, with banking and retail strong while technology and healthcare declined. GAAP operating margin compressed from 7.1% to 4.7%, reflecting higher costs and several adjustment items.

GAAP net income fell to $21.6 million, down about two-thirds year-on-year, while non-GAAP net income slipped to $168.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 15.8% to 13.9%. Cash flow from operations was negative $83.2 million, and adjusted free cash flow was a use of $144.6 million, partly offset by guidance for full-year adjusted free cash flow of $630–$650 million.

Management maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share and repurchased roughly 1 million shares for $42.0 million, while guiding to low single-digit constant-currency revenue growth and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $11.48–$12.07 for fiscal 2026. Actual performance versus this outlook, including margin trends and cash generation over the remaining quarters of 2026, will be key to understanding how transitory the current profit and cash flow pressure is.

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights:

•Operating income of $118.6 million, or 4.7% of revenue, compared to $168.9 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the prior year first quarter.

•Non-GAAP operating income of $295.0 million, or 11.8% of revenue, compared with $321.5 million, or 13.6% of revenue in the prior year first quarter.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $348.2 million, or 13.9% of revenue, compared with $374.2 million, or 15.8% of revenue in the prior year first quarter.

•Cash flow used in operations was $83.2 million in the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow(1) was a use of $144.6 million in the quarter.

•Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) was $0.33 compared to $1.04 in the prior year first quarter.

“We continue to help clients capture measurable value from AI by being a trusted partner for these solutions,” said Chris Caldwell, President and CEO of Concentrix. “Our focus continues to be on winning the right long-term programs, combining integrated technology solutions and services.”

Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase Program:

•The Company paid a $0.36 per share quarterly dividend on February 10, 2026. The Company’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share payable on May 5, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 24, 2026.

•The Company repurchased approximately 1 million shares in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 at a cost of $42.0 million under its share repurchase program at an average cost of $40.06 per share. At February 28, 2026, the Company’s remaining share repurchase authorization was $396.6 million.

Business Outlook:

The following statements are based on the Company’s current expectations for the second quarter and the full year fiscal 2026. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, loss on held for sale, share-based compensation and the related tax effects thereon. The non-GAAP EPS guidance assumes no impact from changes in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net included in other expense (income), net. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Expectations:

•Second quarter reported revenue of $2.460 billion to $2.485 billion. Based on current exchange rates, these expectations assume an approximate 75-basis point positive impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year period. The guidance implies constant currency revenue growth for the quarter ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%.

•Operating income of $128 million to $138 million and non-GAAP operating income of $290 million to $300 million.

•Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.57 to $2.69, assuming approximately 60.9 million diluted common shares outstanding and approximately 4.9% of net income attributable to participating securities.

•The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 25%.

Full Year 2026 Expectations:

•Full year reported revenue of $10.035 billion to $10.180 billion. Based on current exchange rates, these expectations assume an approximate 60-basis point positive impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year. The guidance implies constant currency revenue growth for the full year of 1.5% to 3.0%.

•Operating income of $636 million to $686 million and non-GAAP operating income of $1,240 million to $1,290 million.

•Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $11.48 to $12.07, assuming approximately 60.6 million diluted common shares outstanding and approximately 4.9% of net income attributable to participating securities.

•The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 25%.

In addition, the Company expects to generate approximately $630.0 million to $650.0 million of adjusted free cash flow in fiscal year 2026.

The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of the non-GAAP EPS outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to (a) the inability to forecast future changes in acquisition contingent consideration, which is based, in part, on the future trading price of the Company’s common stock, and (b) the inability to forecast future foreign currency losses (gains), net included in other expense (income), net. For the same reason, the Company is unable

to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which may have a material impact on the Company’s GAAP results.

The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of the adjusted free cash flow outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainty related to the future changes in the Company’s factoring program and related timing of those changes. For the same reason, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which may have a material impact on the Company’s GAAP results.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company will host a conference call for investors to review its first quarter fiscal 2026 results today at 8:30 a.m. (ET)/5:30 a.m. (PT).

The live conference call webcast will be available in listen-only mode in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website under “Events and Presentations” at https://ir.concentrix.com/events-and-presentations. A replay will also be available on the website following the conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

•Constant currency revenue growth, which is revenue growth adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Constant currency revenue growth is calculated by translating the revenue of each fiscal year in the billing currency to U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year’s currency conversion rate in comparison to prior year’s revenue. Generally, when the U.S. dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, revenue growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.

•Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, loss on held for sale and share-based compensation.

•Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation (exclusive of step-up depreciation).

•Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax-effected impact of acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, loss on held for sale, share-based compensation, certain debt costs, imputed interest related to the sellers’ note, change in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency

losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP net income also excludes the income tax effect of certain tax law changes.

•Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, and adjusted free cash flow, which is free cash flow excluding the effect of changes in the outstanding factoring balance. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows because it removes the effect of factoring which changes the timing of the receipt of cash for certain receivables. However, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations because they do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.

•Non-GAAP diluted EPS, which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax-effected impact of acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, loss on held for sale, share-based compensation, certain debt costs, imputed interest related to the sellers’ note, change in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP EPS also excludes the per share income tax effect of certain tax law changes. Non-GAAP EPS also reflects a per share adjustment to exclude non-GAAP net income attributable to participating securities.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

(4) The tax effect of taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments was calculated using the tax-deductible portion of the expenses and applying the entity-specific, statutory tax rates applicable to each item during the respective periods presented.

(5) Diluted EPS is calculated using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation proportional to the respective ownership among holders of common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock awards and certain restricted stock units granted to employees are considered participating securities. For the purposes of calculating diluted EPS for the three months ended February 28, 2026, dividends paid to common stockholders and participating securities exceeded net income. As a result, the allocation to participating securities in the three months ended February 28, 2026 represents dividends paid to participating securities as participating securities do not participate in undistributed losses. For the purposes of calculating diluted EPS for the three months ended February 28, 2025, net income attributable to participating securities was approximately 4.9% of net income.

(6) For the purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders and non-GAAP diluted EPS, non-GAAP net income attributable to participating securities was approximately 5.0% and 4.9% of non-GAAP net income, respectively, for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, and was excluded from non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to calculate non-GAAP diluted EPS.
