✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Expleo Solutions reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹286.3 crore, up 11.9% YoY, driven by strong growth in Europe, BFSI, and aerospace & defense. EBITDA margin remained flat at 15.5% (down 10bps YoY) due to wage inflation offset by operational efficiencies. AI-influenced revenue reached 15%, and management guided for sustainable double-digit revenue growth with margins around 15.5% for FY27. Key strategic initiatives include partner-led growth, expansion into Egypt, and deepening AI adoption across top accounts. However, AI-driven productivity gains are being fully passed to clients, pressuring ticket sizes. Risks include geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East, headwinds in European automotive, and potential delays in defense offset contracts.

The entire market doesn't allow you to do that... bulk of that saving still goes back to the customer.
