Innodata (INOD) doubles EBITDA as AI-driven revenue surges in Q1 2026
Innodata Inc. reported strong results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, with revenue of $90.1 million and net income of $14.9 million, both significantly higher than a year ago. Gross profit reached $39.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $25.0 million, reflecting improved scale and operating leverage.
Operating cash flow jumped to $37.3 million, lifting cash and cash equivalents to $117.4 million. The company now reports as a single segment and remains highly concentrated, with one customer providing 56% of revenue and another 17%.
Positive
- Substantial top-line and earnings growth: Revenue reached $90.1 million and net income rose to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, both materially higher than a year earlier.
- Stronger profitability metrics: Adjusted Gross Margin improved to 47% and Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $25.0 million, showing enhanced operating leverage in AI-related services.
- Robust cash generation and liquidity: Operating cash flow climbed to $37.3 million, increasing cash and cash equivalents to $117.4 million while the $50.0 million revolving credit facility remained undrawn.
Negative
- High customer concentration: One customer accounted for 56% of total revenue and another 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 65% of accounts receivable was due from a single customer.
- Legal exposure remains: While a U.S. securities class action was dismissed on April 27, 2026, the company continues to face a longstanding Philippine judgment and other proceedings, with reasonably possible additional losses of about $650,000 beyond recorded amounts.
Insights
Innodata posted sharply higher Q1 revenue, profits, and cash flow, driven by AI-related services at scale.
Innodata generated revenue of $90.1M for the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus $58.3M a year earlier, while net income rose to $14.9M. Gross profit was $39.8M and Adjusted Gross Margin improved to 47%, indicating better utilization and pricing.
Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $25.0M, supported by higher-scale AI services and stock-based compensation of $5.9M. Operating cash flow increased to $37.3M, boosting cash to $117.4M and leaving the $50.0M revolving credit facility unused.
Risks remain around customer concentration—one customer contributed 56% of revenue and another 17%—and legal exposures, though a U.S. securities class action was dismissed on April 27, 2026. Future filings will show whether growth and margins are sustainable as AI markets evolve.

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation - The condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Innodata Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the results of its operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in or with financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise noted, the accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to the allowance for credit losses and billing adjustments, useful life of long-lived assets, useful life of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and income tax provision, valuation of stock-based compensation, pension benefit plan assumptions, litigation accruals and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.
Cash Equivalents - For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in U.S. Treasury money market mutual funds that are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash, and not subject to significant risk of change in value. These funds are redeemable on demand and are used by the Company for short-term liquidity and cash management needs.
Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company maintains its cash with highly rated financial institutions, located in the United States and in foreign locations where the Company has its operations. At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable is generally recorded at the invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for expected credit losses, allowance for billing adjustments and volume discounts. The Company records billing adjustments relating to quality issues on delivered services, service penalties and price adjustments.
The Company establishes credit terms for new customers based upon management’s review of their credit information and project terms, and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate based upon payment history and an assessment of the customer’s current creditworthiness.

(Unaudited)
The Company records an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the failure of its customers to make the required payments. The allowance for credit losses is based on a review of specifically identified accounts and an overall aging analysis applied to accounts pooled based on similar risk characteristics. Judgments are made with respect to the collectability of accounts receivable within each pool based on historical experience, current payment practices, and current economic trends based on the Company’s expectations over the expected life of the receivables, generally ninety days or less. Actual credit losses could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of promised services or goods is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or goods.
The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. At contract inception, the Company evaluates the promised goods and services to identify each performance obligation and determines whether each is distinct. If a promised good or service is not distinct, it is combined with other promised goods or services until a distinct performance obligation is identified. For contracts with multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined using observable prices when available or estimated using appropriate valuation techniques.
The Company generates revenue from AI-enabled data services, digital transformation solutions, platform-based offerings, and related services. Revenue is recognized either over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligation and the manner in which control is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is primarily recognized over time as the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls, or as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance. For time-and-materials arrangements, revenue is recognized based on labor hours incurred at contractually agreed rates. For output- or volume-based arrangements, revenue is recognized based on units delivered or transactions processed in the period in which the services are performed. For fixed-fee arrangements, revenue is recognized over time using an appropriate measure of progress, such as costs incurred, labor hours, or achievement of contractual milestones, depending on which method best depicts the transfer of control of the services to the customer.
Revenue from subscription-based and platform services is recognized ratably over the contractual service period as the customer receives continuous access to the Company’s platform or services and simultaneously consumes the benefits provided.
For certain transactional or project-based arrangements, revenue may be recognized at a point in time when control of the promised service is transferred to the customer, which may occur upon completion of the service or upon customer acceptance, if applicable.
The Company may also enter into arrangements to resell third-party goods or services. In such arrangements, the Company evaluates whether it acts as a principal or an agent. The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis when it controls the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer, including when the Company is primarily responsible for fulfillment, has discretion in establishing pricing, and bears credit risk. If the Company does not control the specified good or service before transfer, it acts as an agent and recognizes revenue on a net basis in the amount of any fee or commission.

A contract with a customer exists when the parties have approved the arrangement, each party’s rights and payment terms are identifiable, the arrangement has commercial substance, and collection of substantially all consideration is probable. The Company evaluates variable consideration, including performance-based fees, usage-based fees, and penalties, at contract inception and includes such amounts in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Contract acquisition costs, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, are amortized over the term of a subscription agreement or contract that normally has a duration of
Revenue includes reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, with the corresponding out-of-pocket expenses included in direct operating costs.
Revenue associated with the services provided in one period and billed in a subsequent period is commonly referred to as unbilled revenues and is included under Accounts receivable.
Foreign Currency Translation - The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Israel, Hong Kong, and one of the Company’s subsidiaries in each of the United Kingdom and Canada is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in Philippine pesos, Indian and Sri Lankan rupees, Israeli shekels, United Kingdom Pound Sterling and Canadian dollars are translated to U.S. dollars at rates which approximate those in effect on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and all liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of those dates. Non-monetary assets and stockholders’ equity are translated at the appropriate historical rates. Included in direct operating costs were foreign exchange (gains) losses resulting from such transactions of approximately $(
The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary in Germany is the Euro. The functional currencies for one of the Company’s subsidiaries in each of the United Kingdom and Canada are the Pound Sterling and the Canadian dollar, respectively. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are prepared in their respective currencies. Financial information is translated from the applicable functional currency to the U.S. dollar (the reporting currency) for inclusion in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Income, expenses, and cash flows are translated at weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period, and assets and liabilities are translated at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains or losses are included in direct operating costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Derivative Instruments - The Company accounts for derivative transactions in accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). When the amounts recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings, they are included as part of direct operating costs. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, any change in fair value is recorded directly in earnings as part of direct operating costs.

Capitalized Developed Software - The Company incurs development costs related to software it develops for its internal use. Qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. These costs primarily consist of internal labor and third-party development costs and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the capitalized developed software, which generally ranges from three to
Income Taxes – The Company uses the annual effective tax rate method to compute interim tax provisions for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with ASC 740-270, this method involves estimating the annual effective tax rate based on forecasted annual pre-tax book income and expected income tax expense and applying this rate to year-to-date pre-tax income to determine the interim tax provision. The company accounts for discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.
The annual effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the estimated total tax expense for the year by the estimated total pre-tax income for the year. This calculation includes all expected permanent differences, tax credits, and other relevant tax rate reconciling items in accordance with ASC 740.
The Company updates the annual effective tax rate each interim period based on revised forecasts of annual income and tax expense. Adjustments to the interim tax provision will be made as necessary to reflect changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Estimated deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, as well as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expected to reduce taxes payable in future years. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the estimated deferred tax assets will not be realized. While the Company considers future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that the Company anticipates that it will be able to realize the estimated deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the provision for deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made. Similarly, in the event that the Company anticipates that it will not be able to realize the estimated deferred tax assets in the future considering future taxable income, an adjustment to the provision for deferred tax assets would decrease income in the period such determination was made. Changes in the valuation allowance from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. The Company indefinitely reinvests the foreign earnings in its foreign subsidiaries. If such earnings are repatriated in the future, or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, the Company would have to accrue as a liability the applicable amount of foreign jurisdiction withholding taxes associated with such remittances.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets of a subsidiary in Canada will be realizable or not.
As the expectation of future taxable income of this Canadian subsidiary cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of this subsidiary.
The Company accounts for income taxes regarding uncertain tax positions and recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 and measures all awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), at their grant-date fair value. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes model for standard awards or a binomial (lattice) model for awards with more complex features. The fair value of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs with non-market conditions is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date, with compensation expense recognized only when achievement of service and performance conditions is probable. For awards with market conditions, such as total shareholder return, fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation or, where appropriate, a binomial model, and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, generally on a straight-line basis, and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue represents payments received from customers in advance of providing services and amounts deferred if conditions for revenue recognition have not been met. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of these performance obligations over the next 12 months.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” ASU No. 2025-05 provides entities with a practical expedient related to developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, in which entities may elect to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset, reducing the need to prepare complex macroeconomic forecasts for short-term balances. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2026 and applied the amendments on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Following the Company’s determination that it operates as a single reporting segment, goodwill is assigned to a single reporting unit. Accordingly, the Company performs its goodwill impairment assessment at the consolidated reporting unit level.
The Company performs its annual impairment test as of September 30. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income approach, which incorporates discounted cash flow projections, and the market approach, which utilizes observable market multiples of comparable companies. These valuation methodologies require the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, operating margins, discount rates, and market multiples, and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and no impairment was recognized. The carrying amount of goodwill was $

4.Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter including excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. In each quarter, the Company updates the annual effective tax rate based on the most recent annual forecast and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the tax provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to significant volatility due to several factors including the Company’s ability to accurately forecast the pre-tax book income and permanent adjustments in multiple jurisdictions, the effects of benefits related to stock-based compensation and the impact of changes in unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $

The Company has various lease agreements for its offices and service delivery centers and has determined that the risks and benefits related to these leased properties are retained by the lessors. Accordingly, these are accounted for as operating leases. Lease agreements with a term of less than one year are treated as short-term leases and are accounted for separately, as shown in the table below.
Most of these lease agreements are renewable at the mutual consent of the parties to the contract. These lease agreements are for terms ranging from three to

6.Pension Benefits
U.S. Defined Contribution Pension Plan - The Company has a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which substantially all of its U.S. employees are eligible to participate after completing
Most of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries provide for government-mandated defined pension benefits. For certain of these non-U.S. subsidiaries, vested eligible employees are provided a lump sum payment upon retiring from the Company at a defined age. The lump sum amount is based on the salary and tenure as of retirement date. Other non-U.S. subsidiaries provide for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, based upon the salary and tenure as of the date employment ceases. The liability for such defined benefit obligations is determined and provided on the basis of actuarial valuations. As of March 31, 2026, these plans were unfunded. Pension expense for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $

8.Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation – In 2008, a judgment was rendered in the Philippines against a Philippine subsidiary of the Company that is no longer active and purportedly also against Innodata Inc., in favor of certain former employees of the Philippine subsidiary. The potential payment amount aggregates to approximately $
On April 27, 2026 the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the Company’s motion, filed in April 2025, to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint filed in April 2025 by David D’Agostino in a putative class action captioned D’Agostino v. Innodata Inc., et al., in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current and former officers (the “Securities Class Action”). The Securities Class Action complaint asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and alleged, among other things, that the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology and services.
The Company is also subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that it has adequate reserves for those losses that it believes are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the ultimate results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty.
While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or overall trends in consolidated results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above-referenced Philippine action could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable rulings or recoveries in the other proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated operating results in the period in which the ruling or recovery occurs. In addition, the Company’s estimate of the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or overall consolidated results of operations for the above referenced legal proceedings could change in the future.
The Company’s legal accruals related to legal proceedings and claims are based on the Company’s determination of whether or not a loss is probable. The Company reviews outstanding proceedings and claims with external counsel to assess probability and estimates of loss. The accruals are adjusted if necessary. While the Company intends to defend these matters vigorously, adverse outcomes that it estimates could reach approximately $

11.Segment reporting and concentrations
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company reassessed its operating and reportable segment structure and concluded that it operates as a single reportable segment. This change reflects a shift in how the Company’s CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources. The CEO now reviews financial results on a consolidated basis and does not regularly review discrete financial information at a level below the consolidated entity for purposes of allocating resources or assessing performance. In addition, the Company’s operations have become increasingly integrated, with shared delivery infrastructure, technology platforms, and workforce supporting its service offerings. As a result, the Company determined that it has

The U.S. GAAP measures used by the Company’s CEO to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources such as employees, property, and financial or capital resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process, are Revenues, Gross Profit and Net Income. Performance results are monitored, reviewed, and measured monthly and quarterly by comparing budget and forecast to actual results for profit measures, assessing returns on investment, compensation decisions and changing strategies, if required.

13.Derivatives
The Company conducts a large portion of its operations in international markets, which subjects it to foreign currency fluctuations. The most significant foreign currency exposures occur when revenue and associated accounts receivable are collected in one currency and expenses to generate that revenue are incurred in another currency. The Company is also subject to wage inflation and other government mandated increases and operating expenses in Asian countries where the Company has the majority of its operations. The Company’s primary inflation and exchange rate exposure relates to payroll, other payroll costs and operating expenses in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel.
In addition, although most of the Company’s revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of total revenues is denominated in Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling and Euros.
The Company’s policy is to enter derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged for a period of up to 12 months. As such, the Company’s derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). Upon settlement of these contracts, the change in the fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) is reclassified to earnings and included as part of direct operating costs. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, any change in fair value is recorded directly in earnings as part of direct operating costs.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. All derivatives are recognized at their fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. The total notional amount for outstanding derivatives designated as hedges was $
The Company’s forward contracts are at level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report.
Business Overview
Innodata Inc. (Nasdaq: INOD) (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Innodata”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a global data engineering and AI systems services company that supports the development, training, post-training, evaluation, and deployment of advanced artificial intelligence systems. We partner with leading technology companies, frontier AI laboratories, and enterprises to help enable AI systems that perform reliably, align with intended objectives, and operate safely in real-world environments.
Our mission is to enable the responsible advancement of artificial intelligence by providing the data, evaluation frameworks, and human expertise required to build AI systems that can be trusted at scale. We believe that AI will increasingly function as a foundational layer of the digital economy - embedded across consumer products, enterprise workflows, and mission-critical systems. As AI systems grow more capable and autonomous, we believe the quality of training data, the effectiveness of post-training alignment, and the rigor of ongoing evaluation will be decisive factors in determining whether AI systems are adopted, regulated, and scaled responsibly.
Innodata was founded more than 35 years ago on the principle that high-quality, well-structured data is essential to leading information-retrieval systems. In 2016-2017, we began building proprietary AI language models based on then-emerging research and frameworks and integrating them into our data production workflows. Through this work, we developed and refined techniques for generating, curating, and validating human-created data used to train probabilistic, learning-based AI systems, and recognized that data quality and structure were critical determinants of model performance. This insight led us to invest in the development of an integrated set of AI lifecycle data solutions, addressing a growing market need for specialized data engineering, evaluation, and refinement capabilities across the full lifecycle of AI systems.
Today, leading AI innovation labs and Big Tech companies (including five of the so-called “Magnificent Seven”) building frontier generative AI models and leading enterprises engage us to provide (i) training and post-training data development; (ii) alignment and preference optimization; (iii) capabilities, alignment, and safety evaluation; and (iv) AI enablement and operationalization, including support for agentic and tool-using systems.
We believe Innodata is differentiated by: (i) our ability to operate across the AI lifecycle in alignment with AI developers’ internal development and deployment pipelines; (ii) our scale of specialized human expertise; (iii) purpose-built platforms and processes that combine automation with rigorous human oversight; (iv) a research-driven approach to measurement, safety, and operational reliability, which is particularly relevant for frontier model developers and enterprises deploying AI in high-stakes environments; and (v) our dual role supporting leading technology companies building advanced AI systems and enterprises deploying those systems in production, which we believe creates a reinforcing feedback loop that strengthens our capabilities across both contexts and differentiates us from competitors focused on only one side of the market.
Market Opportunities
AI Training and Post-Training Data
Modern AI systems are trained using large volumes of data rather than explicit, rule-based programming. Foundation models - such as large language models (“LLMs”) and multimodal models - learn statistical representations of language, images, code, and other modalities from vast training corpora.
26
Table of Contents
As model architectures have matured, leading developers have increasingly emphasized the importance of training data quality, data provenance, supervised fine-tuning, and post-training alignment techniques. We believe that as model scale increases, marginal improvements in data quality and post-training signals can have an outsized impact on performance, reliability, and usability - often exceeding the impact of further parameter scaling alone.
Organizations developing AI systems therefore require partners that can design, execute, and continuously refine data pipelines capable of supporting large-scale training and post-training cycles while maintaining quality, consistency, and auditability. We believe Innodata is well positioned to meet these requirements.
Model Evaluation (“Evals”), Alignment, and Safety
We believe that evaluation of model capabilities and safety (“evals”) are emerging as foundational layers of the AI technology stack, analogous to testing, security, and reliability engineering in traditional software systems. Unlike deterministic software, generative AI systems are probabilistic and context dependent. Their behavior may vary across prompts, tasks, and deployment environments, and may change over time as models are updated or integrated with tools and new data sources.
As a result, organizations increasingly require continuous evals to understand, measure, and manage model behavior throughout development and deployment. These evals typically include: (i) capabilities evals that assess reasoning, knowledge, and task competence; (ii) alignment and safety evals that measure harmful behavior, misuse risk, and adherence to constraints; and (iii) regression evals designed to detect drift or degradation across model versions. We believe this represents a durable and expanding market opportunity distinct from, but complementary to, data preparation and model training.
From Output Scoring to Behavioral and Agentic Evals
Early AI evaluation focused primarily on output correctness. In contrast, today’s frontier systems - particularly agentic and tool-using systems - require behavioral and agentic evals that assess how models plan, reason, and act over time. These evals may examine reasoning coherence, tool selection and invocation, multi-step task execution, adherence to system instructions, and robustness under adversarial or ambiguous inputs.
This shift toward agentic evaluation materially increases the importance of structured human judgment, domain expertise, and scalable evaluation operations. We believe that the ability to measure not only what a model outputs, but how it arrives at those outputs, is increasingly central to deployment readiness and long-term safety.
Human-in-the-Loop Evals and Evidence for Trust
As AI systems are deployed into regulated or high-stakes environments, customers increasingly require evidence that systems have been evaluated, documented, and monitored. This has driven demand for human-in-the-loop eval frameworks that combine expert judgment with automation to produce results that are interpretable, repeatable, and auditable.
Innodata’s evaluation programs emphasize rubricized scoring for consistency, subject-matter experts for high-risk domains, hybrid human-plus-automated evaluation pipelines, and longitudinal measurement to track regressions and improvements over time. We believe these capabilities position us to support emerging governance and regulatory expectations related to transparency, accountability, and risk management in AI systems.

Red Teaming, Adversarial Evals, and Safety Research
AI safety has expanded to include misuse, exploitability, and unintended system behaviors - particularly as models are connected to retrieval systems, code execution environments, autonomous agents, and enterprise tools. Innodata conducts structured red teaming and adversarial evaluations to surface failure modes that are not observable through standard benchmarks. These efforts include probing prompt-injection and jailbreak vulnerabilities, testing misuse scenarios involving retrieval-augmented generation, agent workflows, and tool use, identifying degradation under distribution shift, and supporting mitigation through targeted post-training datasets. In parallel, we have expanded our cybersecurity capabilities as applied to LLMs and AI agents, including threat modeling for agent-based systems, assessment of data exfiltration and privilege-escalation risks, evaluation of secure tool invocation and sandboxing controls, and testing of monitoring and guardrail mechanisms designed to reduce exposure to adversarial attacks and enterprise security breaches.
We believe red teaming and adversarial evals are increasingly viewed as prerequisites for deployment rather than optional safeguards.
High-Risk Domains and Societal Safety
As frontier AI capabilities advance, developers and governments have raised concerns about misuse in high-impact domains, including non-proliferation, chemical and biological risk, and large-scale misinformation. Innodata supports mitigation efforts through domain-specific safety evals, targeted mitigation datasets, collaboration with academic and government-adjacent experts, and evaluation frameworks designed to preserve performance on legitimate use cases while reducing the risk of harmful behaviors or misuse.
AI Model Deployment and Integration
We believe that over the next decade, AI will be embedded across nearly all industries. Innodata supports customers in operationalizing AI systems, including model customization, workflow integration, context engineering, and continuous quality assurance. Our platforms and services are designed to accommodate rapid innovation in model architectures and techniques, enabling customers to adopt new approaches without re-architecting their AI operations.
AI-Enabled Industry Platforms
We offer a range of AI-enabled platforms and solutions that support data transformation, analytics, and workflow automation across industries, including solutions that convert medical records into structured digital data for use in insurance and healthcare applications, as well as media intelligence and public relations workflow software enhanced with AI-driven monitoring, analytics, and content capabilities.
These offerings operate within a unified technology and service delivery model and leverage shared data, infrastructure, and artificial intelligence capabilities. We continue to invest in these solutions to incorporate advances in artificial intelligence, with a focus on reliability, transparency, and user trust.
We now operate under one single segment.

Prevailing Economic Conditions and Seasonality
Prevailing Economic Conditions
With the current level of demand for our services, we believe we have existing cash and cash equivalents that provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report (refer to Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information). In the event we experience a significant or prolonged reduction in revenues, we would seek to manage our liquidity by utilizing the Revolving Credit Facility, reducing capital expenditures, deferring investment activities, and reducing operating costs.
Seasonality
Our quarterly operating results are subject to certain fluctuations. We experience fluctuations in our revenue and earnings as we replace and begin new projects, which may have some normal start-up delays, or we may be unable to replace a project entirely. These and other factors may contribute to fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter. In addition, as some of our Asian facilities are closed during holidays in the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher wages, due to overtime, that reduce our margins.
For further information, refer to the risk factor titled “Quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations could make financial forecasting difficult and could negatively affect our stock price.” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Changes in Segment Reporting
Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company revised its segment reporting structure. Previously, we reported three segments; following a change in the CODM’s approach, we now report as a single segment. This change was made to align segment reporting with the CODM’s resource allocation and performance assessment process. For additional information, refer to Note 11 to the financial statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”), we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results. In some respects, management believes non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of our ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents by making adjustments that management believes are reflective of the ongoing performance of the business.
We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency by providing investors a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future, particularly by providing the same information that management and our Board of Directors use to evaluate our performance and manage the business. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures that we present may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Results of Operations
The amounts in the MD&A below have been rounded. All percentages have been calculated using rounded amounts.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Revenues
Total revenues were $90.1 million and $58.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $31.8 million or approximately 54%. Revenue increased primarily due to higher volume for AI-related data services, including the expansion of existing customer programs and new client engagements supporting more complex AI workflows.
One customer generated approximately 56% and 61% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Another customer generated approximately 17% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues during these periods. Foreign revenues from non-U.S. customers accounted for 12% and 16% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Direct Operating Costs
Direct operating costs consist of direct and indirect labor costs, occupancy costs, data center hosting fees, cloud services, content acquisition costs, depreciation and amortization, travel, telecommunications, computer services and supplies, realized (gain) loss on forward contracts, foreign currency revaluation (gain) loss, recruitment costs and other direct expenses that are incurred in providing services to our customers.
Direct operating costs were $50.3 million and $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $15.2 million or approximately 43%. The cost increase was primarily attributable to an increase in headcount to support higher volumes of AI-related services and expanded customer engagements.
The increase in direct operating costs includes $14.3 million from direct and indirect labor-related costs, primarily driven by new hires, incentive compensation, salary increases and severance. Additional increases included cloud service subscriptions of $1.0 million, driven by increased cloud usage and data processing requirements in support of higher revenues, AI-related services and expanded customer engagements, depreciation and amortization of capitalized developed software of $0.6 million, shipping costs of $0.6 million, content-related costs of $0.2 million, occupancy-related costs of $0.2 million, offset in part by a reduction in recruitment fees of $0.9 million and a favorable impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $0.8 million. Direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenues were 56% and 60% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to higher revenues, offset in part by increased direct operating costs.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit is derived by revenues less direct operating costs, while the Gross margin percentage is derived by dividing gross profit over revenues.
Gross profit was $39.8 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $16.6 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenues, offset in part by higher direct operating costs. Gross margin was 44% and 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher revenues, offset in part by higher direct operating costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related costs including commissions, bonuses, and stock-based compensation; marketing, advertising, trade conferences and related expenses; new services research and related software development expenses; software subscriptions; professional and consultant fees; provision for credit losses; and other administrative overhead expenses.
Selling and administrative expenses were approximately $22.9 million and $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $7.9 million or approximately 53%. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to continued investments in growth-oriented and capability-building functions. In addition, labor costs increased as we continue to invest in sales, account management, and marketing resources to support new customer acquisition, expand relationships with existing customers, and strengthen our market presence through solution design, go-to-market execution, and thought leadership initiatives.
The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased selling, marketing, and administrative payroll and related expenses of $8.5 million, driven by new hires, salary increases, incentives and bonuses. Additional increases included higher business software subscriptions of $0.5 million, travel and entertainment costs of $0.2 million, an increase in the provision for credit losses of $0.1 million and an increase in other selling and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, offset by lower professional and recruitment fees of $1.5 million, marketing-related expenses of $0.1 million and a favorable impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $0.1 million. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 25% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to higher revenues, offset in part by increased selling and administrative expenses.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $2.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 14.1% and 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The difference was primarily attributable to unfavorable U.S. tax implications of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) in the current quarter.
In each quarter, we will update the estimated annual effective tax rate and make a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately predict the proportion of income (loss) before provision for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions, the effects of tax law changes, and the U.S. tax implications related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income.
(Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the components of the income tax provision for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025).
Net Income
Net income was $14.9 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $7.1 million increase was a result of higher revenue, offset in part by higher direct operating costs and higher selling and administrative expenses in the current quarter.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.46 and $0.42, respectively, compared to $0.25 and $0.22, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a per share increase of $0.21 for basic earnings per share and $0.20 for diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share increased for the quarter due to continued improvement in profitability and operating leverage, reflecting higher revenues and cost efficiencies across the business.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, please see the description of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin” above.
Adjusted gross profit was $42.6 million and $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $17.4 million increase in adjusted gross profit was primarily due to higher revenues, offset in part by higher direct operating costs. Adjusted gross margin was 47% and 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in adjusted gross margin was primarily due to higher revenues, offset in part by higher direct operating costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, please see the description of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted EBITDA” above.
Adjusted EBITDA was $25.0 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $12.3 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to higher net income, higher stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, offset in part by higher interest income in the current quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Selected measures of liquidity and capital resources, expressed in thousands, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | March 31, | | December 31, | ||
| | 2026 | | 2025 | ||
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 117,366 | | $ | 82,230 |
Working capital | |
| 104,017 | |
| 84,862 |
On March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $117.4 million, of which $16.0 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, and $101.4 million was held in the United States.
We have used, and plan to use, our cash and cash equivalents for (i) capital investments; (ii) the expansion of our operations; (iii) technology innovation; (iv) product management and strategic marketing; (v) general corporate purposes, including working capital; and (vi) possible business acquisitions. As of March 31, 2026, we had working capital of approximately $104.0 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $84.9 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in working capital is due to increased collections from higher revenues, offset in part by higher operating expenses associated with increased headcount to support higher volumes of AI-related services and expanded customer engagements.
We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2026.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and internally generated funds will provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Report.
We maintain a revolving line of credit facility. See Note 14, Line of Credit, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein.

On August 8, 2024, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-281379) (the “Form S-3”), as amended on September 16, 2024, and declared effective on October 10, 2024, with the SEC, which includes a base prospectus that allows us to offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or units up to an aggregate public offering price of $50.0 million. The Form S-3 is intended to preserve our flexibility to raise capital from time to time, if and when needed.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses and billing adjustments, long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets and income tax provision, value of securities underlying stock-based compensation, litigation accruals, pension benefits, valuation of derivative instruments and estimated accruals for various tax exposures. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position.
