✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Birlasoft reported a challenging Q1 FY26 with revenue declining 1% QoQ to $150.7M, impacted by project rampdowns, insourcing, and macro uncertainty. EBITDA margin came in at 12.4%, down from Q4's elevated base due to one-offs. Manufacturing vertical saw a 4% QoQ decline, offsetting growth in BFSI, life sciences, and energy utilities. Deal wins totaled $141M, with one large deal slipping to Q2. Management expects sequential growth in Q2 but remains cautious on full-year visibility, focusing on order book recovery. Key risks include prolonged macro headwinds, pricing pressure, and elevated effective tax rate of ~36% for FY26. The company is investing in AI capabilities and cost optimization but faces headwinds from client insourcing and delayed decision-making.
