Voluntary attrition for IT remained at 11.1%, and the IT utilization rate was 82.6%. The company added two new customers in the $10 million+ category on a last-twelve-months (LTM) basis, bringing the total to 34.
Hexaware is reiterating its CY26 baseline revenue growth guidance of 7.6%. The outlook is supported by the ramp-up of previously won large deals and strong conversion from recent wins. The company expects Banking, Healthcare & Insurance, and Manufacturing & Consumer to lead growth in CY26, with Professional Services and Financial Services to follow. The travel and transportation sector is anticipated to lag due to macroeconomic factors.
The EBIT margin guidance for CY26 is reiterated at 13.0%–14.0%, with expectations of improvement through the year, particularly in the second half. The company also highlighted its commitment to ESG initiatives, including achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
