TEANECK, N.J., October 29, 2026 - Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), a leading AI builder and technology services provider, today announced its third quarter 2026 financial results.

“We delivered third-quarter revenue above the midpoint of our guidance range, including another quarter of double-digit growth in Financial Services and our seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year adjusted operating margin expansion,” said Ravi Kumar S, Chief Executive Officer. “The AI market is moving from capability to value realization, requiring enterprises to reimagine how work gets done, build AI into the fabric of the enterprise and create new sources of value. We are making that transition alongside our clients, with over 50% of our code now AI-assisted, over 95,000 frontier AI badges and certifications earned by our associates and continued improvement in revenue and adjusted operating income per employee. What we learn as we apply AI across Cognizant strengthens how we partner with clients through our AI Builder strategy, helping them make AI a new production function that creates enterprise value at scale.”

A full reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Margin guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Performance Metrics” for more information and a partial reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure at the end of this release.

2 GAAP Diluted EPS includes a one-time non-cash income tax charge that negatively impacted Q3 2025 by $0.80.

“Our third-quarter performance reflects the strength of our operating model and disciplined approach to capital allocation,” said Jatin Dalal, Chief Financial Officer. “Adjusted EPS grew 7%, exceeding revenue growth both in the quarter and year-to-date. Through the first nine months of 2026, we have expanded adjusted operating margin by 30 basis points, generated $1.6 billion of free cash flow and deployed $2.3 billion on share repurchases and dividends. We achieved these results while investing in strategic partnerships and AI skilling initiatives, and integrating recently completed acquisitions. We believe this balanced approach supports sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”
