✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Wipro's Q4 FY25 IT services revenue declined 1.2% YoY in constant currency to $2.6B, with operating margins expanding 110bps YoY to 17.5%. Full-year revenue fell 2.3% YoY to $10.51B, while margins improved 90bps to 17.1%. Large deal bookings remained strong at $4B in Q4, up 13.4% sequentially, and full-year large deal TCV grew 17.5% to $5.4B. However, management guided Q1 FY26 revenue down 1.5%-3.5% sequentially, citing heightened macroeconomic uncertainty from tariffs and client caution. Key risks include delayed decision-making on discretionary spend and potential margin pressure from cost-optimization deals. The company remains focused on its five strategic priorities: large accounts, large deals, AI-powered solutions, talent development, and client centricity.
