Rhea-AI Filing Summary

EPAM Systems used its Investor Day to lay out an AI-focused growth strategy and updated financial targets. The company reported 2025 revenue of $5.457B, up 15.4%, with strong contributions from Financial Services at $1.316B and Americas revenue of $3.201B. Management positions EPAM as a leader in AI-native enterprise transformation, emphasizing its 62,000+ professionals, 56,600+ delivery staff and a diversified base across 55+ countries.

For 2026, EPAM guides to revenue of $5.703B–$5.866B, non-GAAP operating margin of 15–16% and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $12.60–$12.90, implying about 10.9% growth at the midpoint. The company targets non-GAAP operating margins of at least 16% and cumulative free cash flow above $1.8B from 2026–2028, supported by AI-native services, global delivery optimization and disciplined M&A and buybacks.

Positive

  • Clear AI-led growth and margin roadmap: 2026 guidance calls for revenue of $5.703B–$5.866B, non-GAAP operating margin of 15–16% and non-GAAP EPS growth of about 10.9%, with 2028 goals of 16%+ margins and $1.8B+ cumulative free cash flow.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

EPAM is reframing itself around AI-native services while targeting renewed growth and margin expansion.

EPAM presents a detailed pivot toward AI-native enterprise transformation, backed by 2025 revenue of $5.457B and broad industry exposure. Management highlights AI/Run platforms, “full-stack agentic engineers,” and deep engineering culture as core differentiators in a rapidly expanding AI services market.

Financially, the company guides 2026 revenue to $5.703B–$5.866B with non-GAAP operating margins of 15–16% and non-GAAP EPS of $12.60–$12.90, about 10.9% growth at the midpoint. Targets for 2028 include 16%+ non-GAAP operating margin and over $1.8B cumulative free cash flow from 2026–2028.

EPAM also stresses resilience of its global delivery engine after reducing Ukraine/Belarus concentration to 21% of delivery professionals by the end of 2025. The plan depends on sustained AI services demand, execution of new commercial models, and disciplined capital deployment through selective M&A and share repurchases.

Safe harbor statement 4 These materials contain forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of its business strategy. These statements may include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “might,” “would,” “continue” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of management’s experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Those known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions may relate to, among other things, developments relating to the war in Ukraine and escalation of the war in the surrounding region, political and civil unrest or military action in the geographies where we conduct business and operate, difficult conditions in global capital markets, foreign exchange markets, global trade, and the broader economy, the adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies by EPAM and its customers, and the effect that they may have on our client demand, revenues, operations, access to capital, and profitability. Additional risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the world economy; our expected financial performance; and macroeconomic and market conditions and volatility. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect the Company’s actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed in more detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements. You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect the Company. The Company has no obligation to update or correct any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. For example, other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently.

Key messages Enterprise complexity is growing. Demand for complex engineering is infinite. 01 02 AI creates a new engineering discipline. Engineering depth is the moat. 03 We’re agentic platform builders, rebuilt and codified delivery for AI, and scaling a new kind of engineer to run it. 04 What we build for clients today becomes the foundation for autonomous enterprise AI.

Autonomous Agents: The next complex engineering opportunity 54 Every delivery-as-code engagement builds the governance framework that enterprise autonomous AI will require; specification discipline, verification pipelines, compliance guardrails, enterprise context integration. This isn't future investment. Clients pay for it today as agentic delivery. Tomorrow, it becomes the governance layer that autonomous agents require. TOMORROW An Adjacent Market Opens • First autonomous use cases target low-complexity, low-stakes work: steady-state support, routine maintenance, managed services automation • EPAM doesn't compete in low-complexity work today; When autonomous agents open that segment, EPAM enters as the firm that builds and governs them — not as an incumbent defending margin • Agent maturity displaces cost-arbitrage incumbents — and opens that segment to EPAM TODAY Building the Governance Layer EVERY AGENTIC DELIVERY ENGAGEMENT BUILDS THE GOVERNANCE LAYER AUTONOMOUS ENTERPRISE AI WILL REQUIRE


 
Key takeaways Enterprise complexity is growing. Demand for complex engineering is infinite. AI creates a new engineering discipline. Engineering depth is the moat. We're agentic platform builders, rebuilt and codified delivery for AI, and scaling a new kind of engineer to run it. What we build for clients today becomes the foundation for autonomous enterprise AI. Every engagement brings it closer. 01 02 03 04 55


 
If “coding is largely SOLVED,” why do CLIENTS need epam? The better AI gets at writing code, the more WHAT WE DO MATTERS. 56

ARKADIY DOBKIN Executive Chairman 71


 
Engineering dna Competitive edge. From the start. 72


 
Key messages History matters. Like previous technology waves, AI enterprise transformation is still an evolution driven by new shift and rising complexity — not a sudden revolution. 01 Engineering Excellence is a critical differentiator – and its importance spans the entire implementation lifecycle. The right talent will determine who successfully navigates the AI era. 02 03 73


 
Our roots go deep in building + growing cutting-edge tech talent + Advanced Teams 74 expert. Agile. Mobile.


 
“The era of AI evangelism is giving way to evaluation. Stanford faculty see a coming year defined by rigor, transparency, and a long-overdue focus on actual utility over speculative promise.” AI is Rocking our industry…and the world 75


 
And One MORE very direct expert opinion Routine coding tasks are becoming commodities. The real value lies in creativity, design, and vision — areas where simply typing lines of code is not enough. “ This is not a distant threat. It is happening now, and those who wait too long will discover that their skills are obsolete. “ The programmer who wants to survive must rise above routine coding and master the ability to deliver business value with technology. “ “ The days when American programmers could expect lifetime employment are gone. The work will be done faster, cheaper, and often better... 76


 
Or in short… And with the specific illustration… 77 “…Programmer is about to share the fate of the dodo bird. By the end of this decade, I foresee massive unemployment among the ranks of programmers, systems analysts, and software engineers. “…The dodo bird was a flightless bird and became extinct in the late 17th century due to human activities and the introduction of non- native species…and achieved widespread recognition from its role in the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and it has since become a fixture in popular culture, often as a symbol of extinction and obsolescence.


 
Or in short… And with the specific illustration… 78 “…Programmer is about to share the fate of the dodo bird.

Or in short… And with the specific illustration… 79 “…Programmer is about to share the fate of the dodo bird.

Interestingly, Four Years Later…in 1996 80 Yourdon wrote a sort of “follow-up” titled “Rise & Resurrection of the American Programmer,” where he admitted he hugely have underestimated: Entrepreneurial Drive U. S . Innovation S IL ICON VA LLEY ’ S Growth of Economy T HA NK S TO INT ERNET Enterprise Complexity A ND T HE


 
Our Major Technology Waves 81 ERA of Internet ERA of Cloud / Mobile / Data ERA of AI EPAM Founded Dot-Com Crash Financial Crisis IPO COVID Invasion of Ukraine Today +30 years. Cycle-Tested. Engineering Remains.


 
The Pattern Across Eras… So far… Was… 82 Every Productivity Wave (structured programming, 4GLs, OOP, RAD, open source, low-code) promised to reduce builders' demand. In practice so far, while productivity gains significantly lowered the Cost of Building Software, we each time underestimated (as Yourdon did) the Growth Of Addressable Market and Exploding Solutions Complexity At Scale in result of… TRIGGERED BY EACH TECHNOLOGY WAV E Enterprise Complexity Growth of EconomyInnovationEntrepreneurial Drive


 
In The AI ERA, The Demand is going to go up. Not down. Not theoretically. For real. We will enter markets that traditional software could never afford to serve — enabled by “last-mile” solutions and by addressing levels of complexity we cannot yet fully imagine. We watched this happen…Demand has never been fully met. The constraint simply shifts to the next bottleneck of enterprise complexity — because companies must keep building more to compete and win. 83


 
AND… The constraint will be people CAPABLE TO ADDRESS The Enterprise Complexity of an AI ERA 84 The people who thrive in this new solution space are going to be the ones who understand customers deeply, who think in systems, who can hold ambiguity and make decisions under uncertainty, who can articulate what needs to exist before it exists at all... and have strong engineering foundations in place. “ While agents handle more implementation work, nature of this shift reveals something important: engineers are becoming more "full-stack" in their capabilities rather than being replaced Role transformation: From implementer to Orchestrator. The value of an engineer's contributions shifts to system architecture design, agent coordination, quality evaluation, and strategic problem decomposition. “ The primary human role in building software is orchestrating AI agents that write code, evaluating their output, providing strategic direction, and ensuring the system solves the right problems for the right stakeholders. “


 
Key takeaways 85 01 We are likely underestimating both the scale of AI-driven market expansion and the complexity of the enterprise transformation it will create. 02 Engineering matters in addressing future market and growing complexity. 03 Right Talent matters. Identifying and developing it is a critical differentiator. We know how.

Appendix: NON-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation Tables 139


 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures EPAM supplements results reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in EPAM’s business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicate internally and externally, for managing EPAM’s business and evaluating its performance. Management also believes these measures help investors compare EPAM’s operating performance with its results in prior periods. EPAM anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results, including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs including amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of assets, expenses associated with EPAM's humanitarian commitment to its professionals in Ukraine, unbilled business continuity resources resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, costs associated with the geographic repositioning of EPAM employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by the war and geopolitical instability in the region, employee separation costs incurred in connection with restructuring programs including the Company's exit from Russia, certain other one-time charges and benefits, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, foreign exchange gains and losses, excess tax benefits and tax shortfalls related to stock-based compensation, and the related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Management also compares revenues on an “organic constant currency basis,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure excludes the effect of acquisitions by removing revenues from an acquired company in the twelve months after completing an acquisition and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations by translating current period revenues into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison. Because EPAM’s reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures reported by other companies within EPAM’s industry. Consequently, EPAM’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but rather, should be considered together with the information in EPAM’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We have excluded from non-GAAP results the portion of the benefit from Poland R&D incentives related to qualifying activities performed in 2023 as it represents a nonrecurring one- time benefit. b. Humanitarian support in Ukraine includes expenses related to EPAM's $100 million humanitarian commitment in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine to support EPAM professionals and their families in and displaced from Ukraine. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal. c. Given the uncertainty in the region introduced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, EPAM has assigned delivery professionals in locations outside of the region to ensure the continuity of delivery for customers who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion.

Consistent with the Company's historical non-GAAP policy, costs incurred in connection with formal restructuring initiatives have been excluded from non- GAAP results as these are attributable to targeted restructuring efforts and not expected to recur once the respective Cost Optimization program is completed. f. Geographic repositioning includes expenses associated with the relocation to other countries of employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by the war and geopolitical instability in the region, and includes the cost of accommodations, travel and food. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal. g. As a result of the Company's decision to no longer serve customers in Russia, the Company incurred impairment charges for long-lived assets in Russia including charges of $15.1 million associated with property and equipment, $3.8 million associated with right-of-use assets and $0.7 million associated with goodwill for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Consistent with the Company's historical non-GAAP policy, impairment charges have been excluded from non-GAAP results as these are one-time and unusual in nature. h. As a result of the Company's decision to no longer serve customers in Russia and the process of completing a phased exit of its operations in Russia, the Company incurred charges associated with employee separation. Consistent with the Company's historical non-GAAP policy, employee separation costs incurred in connection with formal restructuring initiatives have been excluded from non-GAAP results as these are one-time and unusual in nature. i. On July 26, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its remaining operations in Russia and recorded a loss on sale of approximately $25.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, including the recognition of the accumulated currency translation loss related to this foreign entity that was previously included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
