This was a nearly 7% improvement over the same quarter of 2024. Of its two reporting segments, advanced technology solutions was the more dynamic, enjoying a 20% rise in revenue to $311 million. The larger core business services unit saw its take rise by 3% to $980 million.
As for profitability, Genpact's net income according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) also defied gravity, rising by almost 10% to $146 million. On a per-share, non-GAAP (adjusted) basis, this advance was even more pronounced, at 14% to $0.97.
These figures compared favorably to the consensus analyst estimates, which called for a top line of $1.27 billion, and an adjusted net profit of $0.88 per share.
Demand for artificial intelligence (AI) solutions is helping propel Genpact's fundamentals higher. The company quoted CEO BK Kalra as saying that it's "defining the future of agentic operations, rapidly integrating advanced technology solutions, and strengthening our position as an ideal partner for clients looking to lead in the age of AI."
