Revenue increased by 4.5% year-over-year for the quarter, reaching $5.48 billion, driven by growth in Financial Services and the ramp-up of new large deals, supported by demand for AI and automation services. The company also benefited from its integrated offerings strategy and recent acquisitions, which contributed to revenue growth. Net income for the quarter was $636 million, a slight decrease of 1.4% compared to the prior year, impacted by restructuring charges and other factors. Operationally, Cognizant initiated "Project Leap" in Q2 2026, a strategic program aimed at accelerating transformation and improving productivity through AI capabilities and workforce upskilling, incurring $84 million in related charges. The company also saw a significant positive impact from the reversal of an $81 million liability related to India's Defined Contribution Obligation. Despite increased investments in AI and acquisitions, the company demonstrated strong operational efficiency, with a slight increase in its GAAP operating margin to 15.9% for the quarter.

The company's diluted EPS grew by 3.7% to $1.39.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation reported solid revenue growth in the third quarter of 2025, with total revenues increasing by 7.4% year-over-year to $5.415 billion. This growth was broad-based across geographies and segments, notably driven by contributions from the recent acquisition of Belcan, which added approximately 250 basis points to revenue growth. The company also saw an increase in operating income and a strengthening of operating margins, reflecting benefits from cost-saving programs and operational efficiencies. However, net income saw a significant decrease of 52.9% year-over-year, primarily due to a one-time, non-cash income tax expense of $390 million related to the enactment of the OBBBA in the United States. This tax event impacted GAAP diluted EPS, though adjusted diluted EPS showed a positive increase of 11.2%. Despite the net income decline, the company's operational performance remains robust, with strong cash flow generation from operating activities. Cognizant continues to invest in AI capabilities and maintain a strong liquidity position, with ample capacity under its credit facilities.

A notable development is the anticipated one-time, non-cash tax expense of approximately $400 million in Q3 2025 due to the repeal of U.S. R&E cost capitalization under the OBBBA. Despite this, the company projects the OBBBA will reduce its cash taxes by $200 million in 2025.
