TCS to book $70 Million exceptional expense for US lawsuit resolution
TCS will book an incremental expense of USD 70 million (₹583.3 crore) in Q1 FY2027 as a one-time exceptional charge. This is related to a lawsuit filed by Computer Sciences Corporation/DXC Technology Company. The company had previously provided USD 150 million (₹1,250 crore) for this matter.
The amount of USD 70 million is significant and will be recognized as a one-time exceptional expense, impacting the company's quarterly results.
The company is booking an additional expense of USD 70 million due to an ongoing lawsuit, which is a negative financial event.
Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) has provided an update regarding the suit filed by Computer Sciences Corporation/DXC Technology Company. In continuation of earlier communications, the United States Supreme Court denied TCS's petition for a writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on June 15, 2026.
The company has already accounted for USD 150 million (₹1,250 crore) in its books concerning this matter, in compliance with applicable accounting standards. TCS will now make a necessary provision for an incremental amount of USD 70 million (₹583.3 crore) towards damages, interest, and legal costs. This will be treated as a one-time exceptional expense and will be recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (Q1 FY2027).
