Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 19.1% year-over-year (YoY) in Q3 and 22.1% YoY for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Growth was driven by the Finance vertical (up 81% in Q3) and TMT vertical (up 18.2% in Q3), alongside contributions from 2024 acquisitions (JUXT and Mobile Computing).
• Margin Compression: Gross margin declined to 33.3% in Q3 2025 from 37.4% in Q3 2024. This was attributed to higher cost structures in key delivery locations and adverse foreign exchange impacts.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses rose 14.2% YoY in Q3. Engineering, R&D expenses increased 29.5% due to investments in AI and internal software. General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 13.1%, driven by acquisition-related costs.
• Net Income Decline: Despite revenue growth, Q3 net income fell 72.5% to $1.2 million, primarily due to the higher cost of revenues and a higher effective tax rate (62.3% vs 23.6% in Q3 2024) caused by non-deductible executive compensation.
• Other Income: Other income, net, increased significantly on a YTD basis (76.7% increase) due to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Share Repurchase Program: On October 23, 2025, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million. No repurchases have been made as of the filing date.
• Geopolitical Risks: The company continues to monitor the military action in Ukraine and sanctions. While it has executed business continuity plans, further escalation or expansion of hostilities (e.g., into Moldova) could materially adversely affect operations.
• Customer Concentration: One customer accounted for 16.4% of Q3 2025 revenues. The top five customers represented 40.1% of revenues.
• Acquisition Integration: The company is integrating JUXT (UK-based) and Mobile Computing (Argentina-based) to strengthen its European and Latin American presence and "Follow-the-Sun" model.
• Tax Law Changes: The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" enacted in July 2025 allows for immediate expensing of qualifying domestic research expenditures, though the company does not expect a material effect on financial results.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Margin Sustainability: Verify if the gross margin decline (33.3% vs 37.4%) is a temporary structural shift due to delivery location costs or a persistent trend.
• Customer Concentration: Assess the risk associated with the top customer representing 16.4% of quarterly revenue and the top five representing 40.1%.
• Geopolitical Exposure: Review the specific exposure of personnel and assets in Ukraine, Poland, and Moldova given the ongoing conflict and potential for expansion.
• Acquisition Performance: Monitor the revenue contribution and integration costs of the JUXT and Mobile Computing acquisitions to ensure they meet the projected growth targets.
• Share Repurchase Execution: Track the execution of the newly authorized $50.0 million share repurchase program and its impact on share count and EPS.
