Earnings Call Q1 2025
April 30, 2025 - AI Summary
Strong Q1 Performance: Cognizant reported revenue of $5.1 billion for Q1 2025, a year-over-year growth of 8.2% in constant currency driven by acquisitions like Belcan and strong organic growth, primarily in Health Sciences (up 11%) and Financial Services (up 6.5%). Adjusted operating margin improved by 40 basis points to 15.5%, and adjusted EPS increased 10% year-over-year.
Forward-Looking Guidance: For Q2 2025, Cognizant anticipates revenue growth of 5% to 6.5% year-over-year. For the full year 2025, revenue is expected to grow between 3.5% to 6% in constant currency, benefiting from a relatively strong backlog and a projected inorganic uplift of over 250 basis points due to acquisitions.
Challenges from Economic Conditions: There was an observed slowdown in client decision-making and discretionary spending starting in April, particularly within the health sciences and products and resources segments. This potentially indicates increased caution among clients amid a changing macroeconomic environment, though the impact was described as isolated so far.
