NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2025

(In thousands, except per share amount and share count)

1. Organization

ExlService Holdings, Inc. (“ExlService Holdings”) is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. ExlService Holdings, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), is a global data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) company that offers services and solutions to reinvent client business models, drive better outcomes and unlock growth with speed. The Company harnesses the power of data, AI, and deep industry knowledge to transform businesses, including the world’s leading corporations in industries including insurance, healthcare and life sciences, banking and capital markets, retail, communications and media, and energy and infrastructure, among others.

The Company’s clients are located principally in the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)Basis of Preparation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of such statements for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated statements of income for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any subsequent period.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ExlService Holdings and all of its subsidiaries. The standalone financial statements of subsidiaries are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Intra-group balances and transactions, and gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated while preparing consolidated financial statements. The Company’s investments in equity affiliates are recorded using equity method of accounting.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company implemented operational and structural changes to accelerate the execution of its data and AI strategy. Under the new structure, the Company reports its financial performance based on new segments described in Note 3 - Segment Information to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with the new reporting structure, the Company has recast prior period amounts, wherever applicable, to conform to the way the Company internally manages and monitors segment performance. This change primarily impacted Note 3 - Segment Information and Note 10 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

(b)Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment, actual results may be different from these estimates. The significant estimates that affect the unaudited consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates of the contingent consideration, credit risk of customers, the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration in a customer contract, expected recoverability from customers

with contingent fee arrangements, estimated costs to complete fixed price contracts, assets and obligations related to employee benefit plans, deferred tax valuation allowances, income-tax uncertainties and other contingencies, valuation of derivative financial instruments and stock-based awards, and useful life of long-lived assets and other intangible assets. The significant assumptions underneath these estimates include, but are not limited to assumptions to calculate stock-based compensation expense, determine pattern of generation of economic benefits to calculate depreciation and amortization for long-lived assets and other intangible assets, and recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.

(c)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740”), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU expands disclosures relating to the entity’s income tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and certain other disclosures related to income taxes. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new disclosure requirements. This ASU will affect the Company’s annual income tax disclosures but is not expected to impact its consolidated balance sheets or statements of income for the year ending December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (“ASC Topic 220”): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This ASU improves disclosures relating to the disaggregation of income statement expenses, requires additional disclosures about the nature of expenses in commonly presented financial statement captions on an annual and interim basis for all public business entities. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect it to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU enhances the guidance for internal-use software development costs by removing references to project stages and simplifying the criteria for when capitalization of software development costs shall begin. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

(d)Recently Adopted and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). This ASU clarifies how to evaluate whether profits interest and similar awards given to employees and non-employees are within the scope of share-based payment arrangement under ASC Topic 718. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company has early adopted this ASU beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

3. Segment Information

The Company is a provider of data and AI-led and digital operations services in an integrated manner for clients across industry verticals.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company implemented operational and structural changes to align with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. This new operating model comprises of Industry Market Units (“IMUs”) which focus on delivering higher value to clients by

Consequently, the Company realigned its reportable segments to the IMUs as follows:

•Insurance

•Healthcare and Life Sciences,

•Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries,

•International Growth Markets

The primary changes in the new reportable segments reflect 1) the integration of the former Analytics reportable segment as a core capability within each of the IMUs, ensuring alignment with the specialized needs of clients across IMUs, 2) the reorganization of the former Emerging Business reportable segment into a Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries reportable segment, excluding Life Sciences, which is now a part of the new Healthcare and Life Sciences reportable segment, and 3) the formation of International Growth Markets as a separate business unit to represent all service and solutions offerings to clients in the United Kingdom, Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific and South Africa geographies across all industry verticals. The International Growth Markets business unit will help the Company to strategically expand its footprint in markets outside of North America and drive focus on offerings and expansion in those markets in new and existing clients.

In addition, revenues by service type are now presented as data and AI-led and digital operations services. Revenues attributable to geographical regions are now presented as North America (including the United States, Canada and Mexico), the United Kingdom & Europe, and the Rest of World.

The Company has recast segment disclosures for the prior periods presented herein to conform to the new segment structure. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income, balance sheet or statements of cash flows.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM. The CODM generally reviews financial information such as revenues, cost of revenues and gross profit to allocate an overall budget and measure segment performance.

5. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

			Three months ended September 30,												Nine months ended September 30,
			2025						2024						2025						2024
Numerator:
Net income			$	58,161					$	53,037					$	190,773					$	147,625
Denominator:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding			160,495,712						161,732,872						161,963,152						163,197,767
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards			1,218,774						1,454,861						1,517,901						1,422,314
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding			161,714,486						163,187,733						163,481,053						164,620,081
Earnings per share:
Basic			$	0.36					$	0.33					$	1.18					$	0.90
Diluted			$	0.36					$	0.33					$	1.17					$	0.90
Weighted average potentially dilutive shares considered anti-dilutive and not included in computing diluted earnings per share			1,448,090						1,790,695						831,678						2,762,178

In March 2024, the Company entered into a master confirmation (the “Master Accelerated Share Repurchase Confirmation”) and a supplemental confirmation (together, the “2024 ASR Agreement”), with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into a new supplemental confirmation to the prior Master Accelerated Share Repurchase Confirmation (together, the “2025 ASR Agreement”). During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded the initial delivery of shares in treasury stock at cost, which resulted in an immediate reduction of its outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The forward contracts indexed to the Company's own common stock met the criteria for equity classification, and prepayment of $25,000 was initially recorded in additional paid-in capital, which reflects the pending settlement of the 2025 ASR Agreement.

Had the 2025 ASR Agreement been settled as of September 30, 2025, determined based on the volume-weighted average price per share since its effective date, Citibank would have been required to deliver additional estimated shares to the Company. The effect of the potential share settlement under the 2025 ASR Agreement was excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

10. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company implemented operational and structural changes which resulted in the realignment of its reporting segments. Refer to Note 3- Segment Information for further details. Goodwill has been re-allocated to reporting units based on the relative fair value approach.

The Company tested goodwill for impairment prior to the segment realignment and immediately thereafter, for events and conditions identified in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other. The fair value of the reporting units was calculated using a discounted cash flow model using estimated future cash flows. The results of the evaluation demonstrated that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its book value as of the date of the segment realignment.

The following table sets forth details of changes in goodwill by reportable segment of the Company:

			Insurance						Healthcare and Life Sciences						Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries						International Growth Markets						Total
Balance as of December 31, 2024			$	77,099					$	189,621					$	100,639					$	53,028					$	420,387
Currency translation adjustments			165						(21)						(366)						(294)						(516)
Balance as of September 30, 2025			$	77,264					$	189,600					$	100,273					$	52,734					$	419,871

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company performed an assessment to determine whether events or circumstances exist that may lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on such assessment, the Company concluded that there was no impairment on goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

(3) Contingent consideration is presented under “Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities” and “Other Non-Current Liabilities,” as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on independent sources including highly rated financial institutions and are classified as Level 2. Refer to Note 17 - Derivatives and Hedge Accounting to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration:

The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is determined using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s contingent consideration represents a component of the total purchase consideration for business acquisitions. The measurement is calculated using unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assessment of achievement of certain performance goals. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration based on the Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of contingent consideration:

			Three months ended September 30,												Nine months ended September 30,
			2025						2024						2025						2024

Closing balance			$	2,700					$	7,700					$	2,700					$	7,700

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

(In thousands, except per share amount and share count)

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value:

The Company’s other financial instruments not carried at fair value consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents (except investments in money market funds, as disclosed above), short-term investments (except investments in mutual funds, as disclosed above), restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, long-term investments, accrued capital expenditures, accrued expenses, client liabilities and interest payable on borrowings for which fair values approximate their carrying amounts. The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding revolving credit facility approximates its fair value because the Company’s interest rate yield is near current market rates for comparable debt instruments.

17. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate cash flow volatility from risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge cash flow risks from forecasted revenues and other transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and are with counterparties that are highly rated financial institutions.

The following table sets forth the aggregate notional amount of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationship:

						As of
						September 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
Foreign currency forward contracts denominated in:
Sell U.S. dollar (USD)						1,149,500						984,300
Buy U.S. dollar (USD)						31,609						—

The Company estimates that approximately $8,660 of derivative loss, net, excluding tax effects, included in AOCI, representing changes in the value of cash flow hedges based on exchange rates prevailing as of September 30, 2025, could be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2025, the maximum outstanding term of the cash flow hedges was approximately 45 months.

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its intercompany balances and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currencies, against the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to functional currency. These foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as fair value hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and are included in the foreign exchange gain/(loss) line item.

The following table sets forth the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:

						As of
Foreign currency forward contracts denominated in:						September 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
Sell USD						226,932						179,491

Unamortized debt issuance costs for the Company’s revolving credit facility of $604 and $895 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are presented under “Other current assets” and “Other assets,” as applicable in the consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Agreement

The Company held a $300,000 revolving credit facility pursuant to its credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of November 21, 2017 with certain lenders and Citibank N.A. as Administrative Agent. This agreement was amended and restated in April 2022, followed by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in August 2024 (the “2024 Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the 2024 Credit Agreement increases revolving credit commitments to $500,000 and provides a new term loan facility of $100,000 with an annual repayment amount of 5%. The increased revolving credit facility and the new term loan facility both mature on April 18, 2027.

Under the 2024 Credit Agreement, obligations bear interest at a rate equal to specified prime rate (alternate base rate) or the adjusted secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) specified therein, plus, in each case, an applicable margin, and are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries and secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s and its material domestic subsidiaries’ assets. The revolving credit commitments are subject to a commitment fee. The 2024 Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub facility and is voluntarily pre-payable from time to time without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions.

The effective interest rates of the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility are as follows:

			Three months ended September 30,												Nine months ended September 30,
			2025						2024						2025						2024
Revolving credit facility			5.7		%				6.4		%				5.7		%				6.3		%
Term loan facility			5.7		%				6.8		%				5.7		%				6.8		%

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement.

The maturity profile of the Company’s long-term borrowings, excluding debt issuance costs, outstanding as of September 30, 2025 was as follows:

			Revolving credit facility						Term loan facility
2025 (October 1 - December 31)			$	—					$	1,250
2026			—						5,000
2027			260,000						88,750
Total			$	260,000					$	95,000

Letters of Credit

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides standby letters of credit to third parties primarily for facility leases. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $741 and $761, respectively, that were not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

Share Repurchases

The Company purchased shares of its common stock from certain employees in connection with withholding tax payments related to the vesting of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units, as below:

			Shares repurchased						Total consideration						Weighted average purchase price per share (1)
Three months ended September 30, 2025			—						$	—					$	—
Three months ended September 30, 2024			91,565						$	3,346					$	36.54
Nine months ended September 30, 2025			190,716						$	9,432					$	49.46
Nine months ended September 30, 2024			291,967						$	9,721					$	33.29

(1) The weighted average purchase price per share is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the trading day prior to the applicable vesting date of the restricted stock units.

On February 26, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a $500,000 (excluding excise tax) common stock repurchase program beginning March 1, 2024 (the “2024 Repurchase Program”), and, on February 29, 2024, terminated the previous repurchase program, which had been effective since the beginning of 2022.

In March 2024, the Company entered into the 2024 ASR Agreement with Citibank to repurchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000 under the 2024 Repurchase Program. The Company received an initial delivery of 3,350,084 shares in March 2024, representing 80% of the aggregate purchase price, which was recorded in treasury stock, while a prepayment of $25,000 was recorded in additional paid-in capital to reflect the pending settlement. The Company received an additional 820,433 shares upon final settlement in July 2024.

On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into the 2025 ASR Agreement with Citibank to repurchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000, as part of the Company’s 2024 Repurchase Program. Upon payment of the aggregate purchase price of $125,000, the Company received an initial delivery of 2,302,556 shares of its common stock at an initial price of $43.43 per share, representing 80% of the aggregate purchase price. The Company funded the repurchase with available cash on hand and borrowing from its revolving credit facility. The 2025 ASR Agreement is accounted for as a treasury stock transaction and forward stock purchase agreement indexed to the Company’s common stock. The forward stock purchase agreement is classified as an equity instrument under ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815-40") and deemed to have a fair value of zero at the effective date. Under the terms of the 2025 ASR Agreement, the ultimate number of shares of Common Stock that the Company will repurchase will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the term of the 2025 ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2025 ASR Agreement. At final settlement, Citibank may be required to deliver additional shares of Common Stock to the Company, or, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to make a cash payment or deliver shares of Common Stock at its election to Citibank. The final settlement of the 2025 ASR Agreement is expected to be completed on December 1, 2025, subject to acceleration at Citibank’s discretion, which could be completed as early as October 30, 2025.

Under the Company’s repurchase program, shares may be purchased by the Company from time to time from the open market and through private transactions, or otherwise, as determined by the Company’s management as market conditions warrant. Repurchases may be discontinued at any time by the management.

20. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company’s Gratuity Plan in India (the “India Plan”) provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement or upon termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment with the Company. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary operating in the Philippines conforms to the minimum regulatory benefit, which provide for lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement from employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment with the Company (the “Philippines Plan”). Liabilities with regard to the India Plan and the Philippines Plan are determined by actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Current service costs for these plans are accrued in the year to which they relate. Actuarial gains or losses or prior service costs, if any, resulting from amendments to the plans are recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the employees.

The India Plan is partially funded whereas the Philippines Plan is unfunded. The Company makes annual contributions to the India Plan established with insurance companies. Fund managers manage these funds and calculate the annual contribution required to be made by the Company and manage the India Plan, including any required payouts. These funds are managed on a cash accumulation basis, inclusive of interest which is declared periodically. The Company expects to earn a return of approximately 7.0% per annum on the India Plan for the year ending December 31, 2025.

22. Income Taxes

The Company determines the tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.

The effective tax rate decreased from 22.6% to 22.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $16,456 and $15,460 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by higher profit, and lower excess tax benefits, partially offset by lower state taxes and a decrease in non-deductible expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The effective tax rate decreased from 22.6% to 20.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $48,498 and $43,086 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by higher profit, and an increase in non-deductible expenses, partially offset by lower state taxes and higher excess tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed new tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which effectively extends certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including adjustments to several provisions that were scheduled to sunset, phase out, or phase in. As a result of the Company’s election to expense research or experimental expenditures incurred in the United States and the related transition provisions, the Company’s U.S. cash taxes for 2025 will decrease, while there will be no significant impact on its effective tax rate.

Other Commitments

Certain units of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries were established as 100% Export-Oriented units or under the Software Technology Parks of India or Special Economic Zone scheme promulgated by the Government of India. These units are exempt from customs, central excise duties, and levies on imported and indigenous capital goods, stores, and spares. The Company has undertaken to pay custom duties, service taxes, levies, and liquidated damages payable, if any, in respect of imported and indigenous capital goods, stores and spares consumed duty free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled. The Company believes, however, that these units have in the past satisfied, and will continue to satisfy, the required conditions.

The Company’s operations centers in the Philippines are registered as qualified Philippines Economic Zone Authority units, which provides the Company fiscal incentives on the import of capital goods and local purchase of services and materials. The Company is required to meet certain requirements to retain the incentives. The Company has complied, and intends to continue compliance, with the requirements to avail itself of the incentives.

Contingencies

The transfer pricing regulations in the countries where the Company operates require that controlled intercompany transactions be at arm’s-length. Accordingly, the Company determines and documents pricing for controlled intercompany transactions based on an economic analysis as prescribed in the respective regulations. The tax authorities have jurisdiction to review the Company’s transfer pricing. If the Company’s transfer pricing is challenged by the authorities, they could assess additional tax, interest and penalties, thereby impacting the Company’s profitability and cash flows.

The Company is currently involved in transfer pricing and related income tax disputes with Indian tax authorities. The aggregate amount demanded by Indian tax authorities (net of advance payments) as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $46,645 and $49,588, respectively. The Company has made payments and/or provided bank guarantees against these demands in the amounts of $7,757 and $7,506, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company believes that its positions will more likely than not be sustained upon final examination by the tax authorities, and accordingly has not accrued any liabilities with respect to these matters in its consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to reviewing the Company’s annual VAT and service tax filings, the Indian tax authorities raised aggregate demands for tax years 2015 and 2017, in the amounts of $5,249 and $5,339, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has provided bank guarantees against these demands in the amounts of $5,148 and $5,339, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has filed appeals against these matters and believes that it is more likely than not that upon final examination its position will be sustained based on technical merits.

The Indian GST authorities rejected the Company’s refund claims in the amounts of $5,537 and $5,885 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has filed appeals against these matters and believes that it is more likely than not that upon final examination its position will be sustained based on its technical merits. Accordingly, no allowance was recorded against these GST receivables as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Some of the Company’s subsidiaries in India have undergone assessments with the statutory authority with respect to defined contribution plan. Except for some components of the assessments for which the Company has recognized a provision in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company believes that the amount demanded by such authority is not a meaningful indicator of the potential liabilities of the Company, and that these matters are without merit. The Company is defending against the assessment orders and in one case, has instituted an appeal against the order before the relevant tribunal while also making a payment under protest of the amount demanded. As of the reporting date, the Company’s management does not believe that the ultimate assessments in any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments on these matters.

From time to time, the Company, its subsidiaries, and/or their present officers or directors, may be or have been, named as a defendant in litigation matters, including employment-related claims. The plaintiffs in those cases seek damages, including, where applicable, compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorney’s fees. With respect to pending litigation matters as of the reporting date, the Company believes that the damages claimed are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously

defend them. The Company will continuously monitor developments on these matters to assess potential impacts to the financial statements.

The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and thus it is inherently difficult to determine the likelihood of the Company incurring a material loss or quantification of any such loss. With respect to certain pending litigation matters as of the reporting date, the Company has made provisions based on information currently available, including its evaluation of the facts underlying each matter and legal counsel’s advice on the estimated losses or range of reasonably possible losses. Based on the Company’s assessment, including the availability of insurance recoveries, the Company’s management does not believe that currently pending litigation, individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will continuously monitor these matters to assess potential impacts to the financial statements.

Executive Overview

We are a global data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) company that offers services and solutions to reinvent client business models, drive better outcomes and unlock growth with speed. We harness the power of data, AI, and deep industry knowledge to transform businesses, including the world’s leading corporations in industries including insurance, healthcare, life sciences, banking and financial services, media and retail, communications and media, and energy and infrastructure, among others.

Our global delivery network, which includes highly trained industry and process specialists across the United States, the United Kingdom, Latin America, South Africa, Europe and Asia (primarily India and the Philippines), is a key asset. We have operations centers in India, the United States, the Philippines, South Africa, Colombia, Bulgaria, Romania, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Mexico and the Republic of Ireland.

In the first quarter of 2025, we implemented operational and structural changes to align with how our management reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. The new operating model is comprised of Industry Market Units (“IMUs”) to focus on delivering higher value to clients leveraging our full suite of capabilities; and Strategic Growth Units to focus on rapidly advancing our operational, analytics, data engineering, and AI capabilities specific to our chosen industries. Our IMUs will focus on managing customer relationships and delivering the “One EXL” value proposition to clients, maintain a unified go-to-market approach and be integrally responsible for growth, profitability and client satisfaction.

Accordingly, our new reportable segments, aligned to our IMUs, are as follows:

•Insurance,

•Healthcare and Life Sciences,

•Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries,

•International Growth Markets

40

Table of Contents

The primary changes in our new reportable segments reflect 1) the integration of our former Analytics reportable segment as a core capability within each of our IMUs, ensuring alignment with the specialized needs of our clients across IMUs, 2) the reorganization of our former Emerging Business reportable segment into a Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries reportable segment, excluding Life Sciences, which is now a part of the new Healthcare and Life Sciences reportable segment, and 3) the formation of International Growth Markets as a separate business unit to represent all our service and solutions offerings to clients in the United Kingdom, Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific and South Africa geographies across all industry verticals. The International Growth Markets business unit will help strategically expand our footprint in markets outside of North America and drive focus on offerings and expansion in those markets in new and existing clients.

In addition, our revenues by service type are now presented as data and AI-led and digital operations services. Revenues attributable to geographical regions are now presented as North America (including the United States, Canada and Mexico), the United Kingdom and Europe, and Rest of World.

We have recast our segment disclosures for all prior periods presented to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor segment level performance of our business.

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we generated revenues of $529.6 million compared to revenues of $472.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $57.5 million, or 12.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated revenues of $1,545.1 million compared to revenues of $1,356.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $188.2 million, or 13.9%.

We serve clients mainly in North America, and the United Kingdom & Europe, with these two regions generating 82.5% and 14.9%, respectively, of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 81.7% and 15.1%, respectively, of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, these two regions generated 82.5% and 14.8%, respectively, of our total revenues and 82.3% and 14.8%, respectively, of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our total revenues from our top ten clients accounted for 34.5% and 34.2% of our total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our total revenues from our top ten clients accounted for 33.8% and 33.2% of our total revenues, respectively. Although we continue to develop relationships with new clients to diversify our client base, we believe that the loss of any of our top ten clients could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Our Business

We provide data and AI-led and digital operations services to our clients. We market and sell our solutions and services to existing and prospective clients through our sales and client management teams, which are aligned by our IMUs.

This includes our Insurance Large Language Model (“LLM”), a specialized generative AI platform for claims, underwriting and subrogation, developed leveraging our deep experience and proprietary data in the insurance space.

Healthcare and Life Sciences: We work with clients across the healthcare ecosystem to meet their current and dynamic business challenges. We deliver integrated solutions and services at the intersection of domain, data, and AI to enable AI transformation for healthcare payers and providers, pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”), and life sciences organizations. Through the provision of a range of data and AI-powered operations and solutions, we focus on streamlining healthcare administration processes to enhance operational efficiency, aimed at reducing costs for both providers and consumers and improving consumer experience.

By integrating domain expertise with AI-driven data management, we empower financial institutions to innovate, enhance operational agility, and navigate evolving market demands. Our tailored services span retail banking operations such as digital lending solutions that enhance underwriting and compliance, sales and demand generation, omni-channel marketing, digital onboarding, know your customer (“KYC”)/anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance, and collections; credit card services including customer acquisition, fraud management, and payment processing; and payment services structured for secure, multi-currency transaction processing.

customers across the world. IGM consists of dedicated teams servicing clients in the banking and capital markets, insurance, life sciences, energy and infrastructure, retail, consumer goods, and travel industries in growth markets. This unit is instrumental in localizing our global capabilities in these industry segments to align with the local regulatory, cultural, linguistic and economic needs. Across all regions in which we operate, we combine deep domain experience with our data and AI expertise to help clients innovate, enhance operational agility, adapt to changing market demands, and drive better business outcomes.

Pricing: We charge for our services using various pricing models like time-and-material pricing, full-time-equivalent pricing, transaction-based pricing, outcome-based pricing, subscription-based pricing and other alternative or emerging pricing models. Outcome-based pricing arrangements is an example of a non-linear pricing model where our revenues from platforms and solutions and the services we provide are compensated based on our clients’ usage or savings rather than the efforts we deploy to provide these services. We continue to observe a shift in the industry pricing models toward transaction-based pricing, outcome-based pricing and other alternative pricing models. We believe this trend will continue and we use such alternative pricing models with some of our current clients and are seeking to move certain other clients from a full-time-equivalent pricing model to a transaction-based or other alternative pricing model. These alternative pricing models place the focus on operating efficiency in order to maintain or improve our gross margins.

Income Taxes

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, issued a Pillar II model for implementing a 15% global minimum tax effective January 1, 2024. The application of the rules relating to Pillar II continue to evolve, and there are countries that are still in the process of issuing attendant rules and regulations, including available transitional safe harbor rules. The two countries where we operate but do not meet the available safe harbor rules are the Republic of Ireland and the Philippines. The Pillar II impacts for the Republic of Ireland and the Philippines are not significant and have been properly reflected in our financial statements. We will continue to monitor Pillar II developments and assess any future impacts.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed new tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which effectively extends certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including adjustments to several provisions that were scheduled to sunset, phase out, or phase in. As a result of our election to expense research or experimental expenditures incurred in the United States and the related transition provisions, our U.S. cash taxes for 2025 will decrease, while there will be no significant impact on its effective tax rate.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In the first quarter of 2025, we implemented operational and structural changes which resulted in the realignment of our reporting segments. Refer to Note 3- Segment Information and Note 10- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Goodwill has been re-allocated to reporting units based on the relative fair value approach. We tested goodwill for impairment prior to the segment realignment and immediately thereafter, for events and conditions identified in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other. The fair value of our reporting units was calculated using a discounted cash flow model using estimated future cash flows. The results of our evaluation demonstrated that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its book value as of the date of the segment realignment.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates referred in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The increase in income tax expense was primarily as a result of higher profit and lower excess tax benefits, partially offset by lower state taxes and decrease in non-deductible expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Net Income. The increase in net income by 9.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was attributable to the aforementioned factors.

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $104.3 million, or 12.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $116.1 million on account of higher headcount and wage inflation, higher facilities, technology and other operating costs of $13.3 million, partially offset by lower mail and data expenses in our direct marketing business of $13.3 million and a foreign exchange gain, net of hedging of $11.8 million. Our gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 38.3% compared to 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 90 bps primarily driven by higher revenues and operational efficiencies, partially offset by increases in employee-related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in cost of revenues in Insurance by $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $35.7 million on account of higher headcount and wage inflation, higher technology costs of $2.8 million, partially offset by lower mail and data expenses in our direct marketing business of $13.3 million, other operating costs of $1.2 million and a foreign exchange gain, net of hedging of $4.0 million. Gross margin in Insurance increased by 140 bps, primarily due to higher revenues and operational efficiencies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in cost of revenues in Healthcare and Life Sciences by $41.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $39.8 million on account of higher headcount and wage inflation, including incremental costs related to the acquisition of ITI Data, higher facilities costs of $1.6 million, higher technology and other operating costs of $3.1 million, partially offset by a foreign exchange gain, net of hedging of $2.7 million. Gross margin in Healthcare and Life Sciences decreased by 20 bps, primarily due to lower revenues in certain existing clients during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in cost of revenues in Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries by $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $23.4 million on account of higher headcount and wage inflation, including incremental costs related to the acquisition of ITI Data, higher technology costs of $1.6 million, higher facilities and other operating costs of $2.4 million, partially offset by a foreign exchange gain, net of hedging of $2.9 million. Gross margin in Banking, Capital Markets and Diversified Industries increased by 80 bps, primarily due to higher revenues and operational efficiencies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in cost of revenues in International Growth Markets by $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $17.2 million on account of higher headcount and wage inflation, including incremental costs related to the acquisition of ITI Data, higher technology and other operating costs of $3.0 million, partially offset by a foreign exchange gain, net of hedging of $2.2 million. Gross margin in International Growth Markets increased by 60 bps, primarily due to higher revenues and operational efficiencies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues remained flat at 20.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in SG&A expenses by $36.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $35.0 million on account of higher headcount and wage inflation, including incremental costs related to the acquisition of ITI Data, increase in investments in digital and generative AI capabilities of $2.1 million, higher sales and marketing costs of $1.0 million and other operating costs of $1.8 million. This increase in SG&A was partially offset by one-time restructuring and litigation settlement costs of $3.1 million incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased by 0.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense by 9.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to investments in infrastructure, technology assets and digital capabilities.

Income from Operations. The increase in income from operations by 22.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to higher revenues and gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Foreign Exchange Gain, net. We recorded a foreign exchange gain, net of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a foreign exchange gain, net of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily attributable to the movement of the U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee, the Philippine peso, the U.K. pound sterling and the South African rand during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense by $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower average borrowings and a lower average effective interest rate of 5.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 6.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(1) Not Meaningful

The increase in other income, net by $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to higher yield on our investments, and reversal of certain contingent liabilities of $0.9 million that were no longer required during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by reversal of contingent consideration liability of $0.6 million related to our June 2022 acquisition of Inbound Media Group, LLC during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Income Tax Expense. The effective tax rate decreased from 22.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 20.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We recorded income tax expense of $48.5 million and $43.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily as a result of higher profit and an increase in non-deductible expenses, partially offset by lower state taxes and higher excess tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Net Income. The increase in net income by 29.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was attributable to the aforementioned factors.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $390.1 million and $340.6 million, respectively, in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which $349.7 million and $296.0 million, respectively, is located in foreign jurisdictions that upon distribution may be subject to withholding and other taxes. We periodically evaluate opportunities to distribute cash among our group entities to fund our operations, expand our business and make strategic acquisitions in the United States and other geographies, and as and when we decide to distribute, we may have to accrue additional taxes in accordance with local tax laws, rules and regulations in the relevant foreign jurisdictions.

Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $233.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $163.2 million during nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting higher cash earnings and lower working capital needs. The major drivers contributing to the increase of $70.1 million year-over-year included the following:

•An increase in cash earnings including adjustments for non-cash and other items contributed higher cash flow of $62.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These adjustments include fair value changes in investments, unrealized foreign currency exchange (gain)/loss, net, stock-based employee compensation, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets and intangibles acquired in business combinations, among others.

•Changes in accounts receivable, including advance billings, driven by revenue growth, contributed lower cash flow of $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our days sales outstanding were 63 days as of September 30, 2025, compared to 64 days as of September 30, 2024.

•Payment of contingent consideration related to our December 2021 acquisition of Clairvoyant AI, Inc. (“Clairvoyant”) contributed to a higher cash payout of $11.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, whereas no such payment occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

•Changes in other assets, accounts payables including other liabilities contributed to a lower cash payout of $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Investing Activities: Net cash used for investing activities was $82.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $94.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $11.9 million was primarily due to net cash used for business acquisition of $24.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 whereas no such payment occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was partially offset by higher net purchase of investments of $6.6 million and higher cash paid for capital expenditures, including investments in infrastructure, technology assets and digital capabilities of $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Financing Activities: Net cash used for financing activities was $147.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $52.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $95.7 million was primarily due to lower net proceeds from borrowings of $78.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to nine months ended September 30, 2024 and higher purchases of treasury stock of

Table of Contents

$23.0 million under our share repurchase programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was partially offset by payment of contingent consideration related to our December 2021 acquisition of Clairvoyant of $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 whereas no such payment occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On July 29, 2025, we entered into a new supplemental confirmation to the prior Master Accelerated Share Repurchase Confirmation (together, the “2025 ASR Agreement”) with Citibank to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million, as part of our 2024 Repurchase Program of $500 million. We funded the repurchase with available cash on hand and borrowing from our credit facility.

We expect to use cash from operating activities to maintain and expand our business by making investments, primarily related to building new digital capabilities, including AI and purchase telecommunications equipment and computer hardware and software in connection with managing client operations.

We incurred $41.7 million of capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We expect to incur total capital expenditures of between $50.0 million to $55.0 million in fiscal 2025, primarily to meet our growth requirements, including additions to our facilities and infrastructure, as well as investments in technology applications, product development, and other digital technologies.

In connection with any tax assessment orders that have been issued, or may be issued against us or our subsidiaries, we may be required to deposit additional amounts with the relevant authorities with respect to such assessment orders. See Note 25 - Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further details.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over the next 12 months. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, our investments in strategic initiatives like acquisition of complementary businesses, capital expenditures and continued stock repurchases, including accelerated stock repurchase under our board-authorized stock repurchase program, which may require the use of significant cash resources and/or additional financing. We anticipate that we will continue to rely upon cash from operating activities to finance most of our above-mentioned requirements, although if we have significant growth through acquisitions, we may need to obtain additional financing.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future. These obligations include borrowings, including interest obligations, purchase commitments, operating and finance lease commitments, employee benefit payments under gratuity plans, payments for contingent consideration and uncertain tax positions. See Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements - Fair Value of Contingent Consideration, Note 18 - Borrowings, Note 20 - Employee Benefit Plans, Note 21 - Leases, Note 22 - Income Taxes and Note 25 - Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further information on material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations.

In the ordinary course of business, we provide standby letters of credit to third parties primarily for facility leases. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit of $0.7 million and $0.8 million respectively, that were not recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. These are unlikely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We had no other off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

On February 26, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a $500 million (excluding excise tax) common stock repurchase program beginning March 1, 2024 (the “2024 Repurchase Program”).

On July 29, 2025, we entered into the 2025 ASR Agreement with Citibank to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $125 million, as part of our 2024 Repurchase Program. Upon payment of the aggregate purchase price of $125 million, we received an initial delivery of 2,302,556 shares of our common stock at an initial price of $43.43 per share, representing 80% of the aggregate purchase price. See Note 19 – Capital Structure to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for further details.

Under our repurchase program, shares may be purchased by us from time to time from the open market and through private transactions, or otherwise, as determined by our management as market conditions warrant. We have structured open market purchases under our repurchase program to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Repurchases may be discontinued at any time by management. Repurchased shares are recorded as treasury shares and are held until our board of directors designates that these shares be retired or used for other purposes.
