Earnings Release

 

Exhibit 99.1Press release, dated May 14, 2026, entitled “Globant Reports 2026 First Quarter Financial Results.”

 

Share Repurchase Plan

 

On May 14, 2026, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved a new share repurchase program (the “Program”), authorizing the allocation of up to $50 million per quarter, subject to a maximum aggregate of $125 million, for the repurchase of the Company’s common shares beginning in the second quarter of 2026 through the fourth quarter of 2027. On April 6, 2026, the Company had completed the repurchase of $125 million of its common shares under its previous share repurchase program, which the Board had approved on September 30, 2025.

 

The timing and price of repurchases as well as the actual number of shares repurchased under the Program will be at the discretion of the Company and will depend on a variety of factors, including business and market conditions, the share price, regulatory requirements and limitations, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, legal requirements and restrictions in the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness, alternative investment opportunities, acquisition opportunities and other factors.

 

Purchases may be made from time to time at management’s discretion. The Program permits shares to be repurchased in a variety of methods, including but not limited to open market repurchases or accelerated share repurchases. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific amount of shares. The Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time or periodically without prior notice.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

Ohio Carpenters’ Pension Fund v. Globant S.A., et al., No. 1:26-cv-3405 (S.D.N.Y.)

 

On April 24, 2026, a putative class action complaint asserting claims under the securities laws of the United States was filed against the Company, and certain of its current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The plaintiff Ohio Carpenters’ Pension Fund alleges that it is a purchaser of the Company’s common shares and purports to assert claims on behalf of a putative class consisting of all persons that purchased the Company’s common shares between February 15, 2024, and August 14, 2025. The complaint asserts claims against all of the defendants under section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and claims against the individual defendants under section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.  The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend itself and the other defendants accordingly at the appropriate time.

Globant Reports 2026 First Quarter Financial Results

 

LUXEMBOURG / May 14, 2026 - Globant (NYSE: GLOB) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

“Globant’s mission is to reinvent how technology is created, and today we are leading one of the most significant pivots in our history toward AI-native tech services as the market shifts from experimentation to deep AI implementation. Our AI Pods are the engine of this transformation, with ARR reaching $32.8 million as of March 2026. We are moving beyond the traditional ‘seats’ model by becoming the AI-native partner that collapses the boundary between software and services, redefining what it means to be a professional services firm in the AI era,” explained Martín Migoya, Globant’s CEO and co-founder.

 

“We have begun the year with a focus on stability and execution, seeing the early benefits of our pivot toward AI-integrated delivery. Our first-quarter revenue exceeded the high end of our guidance, bolstered by the growth of our top clients. By driving Revenue Per Head to company record levels, we are proving we can deliver higher value with greater efficiency. Furthermore, we demonstrated strong financial health by generating $36.1 million in free cash flow. Having successfully completed our previous share repurchase program during Q2, we are pleased to announce a new $125 million plan to continue returning value to our shareholders. As we look ahead, we remain focused on maintaining this discipline to capture the opportunities in our pipeline,” explained Juan Urthiague, Globant’s CFO.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

While the financial figures included in this press release have been computed in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” or a financial statement as defined by International Accounting Standards 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The financial information in this press release has not been audited.

 

Globant provides non-IFRS financial measures in addition to reported IFRS results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the company’s business and uses the non-IFRS financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the company’s business and evaluating its performance. The company anticipates that it will continue to report both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures in its financial results, including non-IFRS measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related charges, business optimization costs, and the related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Because the company’s non-IFRS financial measures are not calculated according to IFRS, these measures are not comparable to IFRS and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-IFRS measures reported by other companies within the company’s industry. Consequently, Globant’s non-IFRS financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable IFRS measures, but, rather, should be considered together with its condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and its condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”.

 

Globant is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Adjusted Profit from Operations Margin or Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, and the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

 

 

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

In addition to historical information, this release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our outlook and guidance, and our strategies, priorities and business plans. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that could impact our actual results include: our ability to maintain current resource utilization rates and productivity levels; our ability to manage attrition and attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals; our ability to accurately price our client contracts; our ability to achieve our anticipated growth; our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth; our ability to retain our senior management team and other key employees; our ability to continue to innovate and remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related market trends; our ability to retain our business relationships and client contracts; our ability to manage the impact of global adverse economic conditions; our ability to manage uncertainty concerning the instability in the current economic, political and social environment in Latin America; and other factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any other risk factors we include in subsequent reports on Form 6-K.

 

Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any investment decisions based on our estimates and forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this press release whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
