For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, Concentrix reported total revenue of $9,825,771 thousand 21, an increase of 2.2% from $9,618,900 thousand in fiscal year 2024 22. Cost of revenue increased by 3.6% to $6,390,760 thousand in fiscal year 2025 from $6,170,013 thousand in fiscal year 2024 23. Gross profit decreased by 0.4% to $3,435,011 thousand in fiscal year 2025 from $3,448,887 thousand in fiscal year 2024 24, resulting in a gross margin percentage of 35.0% in fiscal year 2025, down from 35.9% in fiscal year 2024 25. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 0.9% to $2,825,468 thousand in fiscal year 2025 from $2,852,500 thousand in fiscal year 2024 26, representing 28.8% of revenue in fiscal year 2025 compared to 29.7% in fiscal year 2024 27. The company recorded impairment charges of $1,527,726 thousand in fiscal year 2025, with no such charges in fiscal year 2024 28. This led to an operating loss of $(918,183) thousand in fiscal year 2025, compared to an operating income of $596,387 thousand in fiscal year 2024 29, and an operating margin of (9.3)% in fiscal year 2025 versus 6.2% in fiscal year 2024 30. Net income was $(1,278,924) thousand in fiscal year 2025, down from $251,217 thousand in fiscal year 2024 31. Diluted EPS was $(20.36) in fiscal year 2025, compared to $3.71 in fiscal year 2024 32. Net cash provided by operating activities was $806,967 thousand in fiscal year 2025 33. Free cash flow was $572,471 thousand in fiscal year 2025 34, and adjusted free cash flow was $626,404 thousand 35. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $327,347 thousand as of November 30, 2025 36. Total long-term debt, net, was $4,572,889 thousand as of November 30, 2025 37.
Revenue growth in fiscal year 2025 was primarily driven by increases in the retail, travel and e-commerce vertical (up 3.0%), communications and media vertical (up 4.2%), and banking, financial services and insurance vertical (up 5.5%) 38. Revenue in the technology and consumer electronics vertical decreased by 0.3%, and healthcare revenue also decreased by 0.3% 39. The "other" vertical remained flat 40. The decrease in gross margin percentage from 35.9% to 35.0% was due to changes in revenue and gross profit 41. The operating loss in fiscal year 2025 was primarily due to the $1,527,726 thousand goodwill impairment charge and a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses 42. Interest expense and finance charges, net, decreased by 9.8% to $290,349 thousand in fiscal year 2025, mainly due to a $28.7 million decrease in interest expense on the senior credit facility and a $4.8 million decrease on the Sellers' Note, partially offset by a $5.6 million increase on the Securitization Facility 43.
During fiscal year 2025, Concentrix acquired SAI Digital in September 2025, an end-to-end digital commerce and CX technology solutions company with a strong presence in Asia, which scaled the company's presence in Vietnam and expanded its digital and AI capabilities 44. The company also launched its iX suite of products in September 2024, including iX Hello™ and iX Hero™ 45. In September 2025, the Agentic Operating Framework™ was launched 46. The company voluntarily prepaid $275 million of the principal balance on its term loans and made a required quarterly payment of $9.375 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 47. In January 2025, the board of directors extended the share repurchase program by authorizing an increase of the amount remaining for share repurchases to $600 million 48.
Business Outlook
Concentrix expects its fiscal year 2026 capital expenditures to be approximately $240 million to $250 million, which includes investments to support growth and maintenance capital expenditures 49. The company expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis, though any decision to pay future cash dividends will depend on board approval and factors such as financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants, industry practice, legal requirements, and regulatory constraints 50.
The company's growth strategy includes expanding and deepening relationships with existing clients by cross-selling and offering additional solutions and premium services, leveraging global offerings, scale, efficiency, and technology to generate incremental value 51. Concentrix aims to relentlessly innovate and develop technology services and solutions, investing in disruptive technologies, applications, and services, including GenAI and agentic AI, to drive better value for clients and increase profitability 52. The company plans to further expand into adjacent markets, believing it is a unique global provider of technology and services that can power clients' brand experiences and digital operations at scale, and will continue to invest in new technologies and faster-growing markets 53. Concentrix intends to selectively pursue strategic acquisitions to increase technology expertise, enter new verticals and geographies, and increase scale, evaluating and pursuing complementary, value-enhancing acquisitions 54. The company also plans to invest in emerging markets such as India, Egypt, Brazil, Türkiye, China, South Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, and Thailand, to grow with clients in these regions and cost-effectively serve global brands 55.
The company's operational outlook includes a continued focus on technology investment, with approximately 1% of revenue invested in technology, including expenses related to the development of its iX suite of technology, beginning in fiscal year 2024 56. The company's global team consists of approximately 455,000 employees and staff across approximately 483 locations in 74 countries 57. Approximately 20% of the global team currently works remotely 58. The company emphasizes attracting and retaining skilled talent that can adapt to the evolving focus of customer engagements, requiring a diverse and inclusive workplace that supports staff wellness 59.
Planned capital allocation includes R&D spending as part of the 1% of revenue investment in technology 60. The company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, which was extended in January 2025 to increase the amount remaining for share repurchases to $600 million 61. As of November 30, 2025, approximately $439.5 million remained available for share repurchases under this authorization 62. The company repurchased 256,511 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million in December 2025 63. Quarterly cash dividends are expected to continue, with a cash dividend of $0.36 per share announced on January 13, 2026, payable on February 10, 2026 64.
Management explicitly flagged several structural headwinds and execution risks to the growth plan. Uncertainty and disruption from new and emerging technologies, including the increased adoption and utilization of GenAI and agentic AI, may result in risks and challenges that could significantly disrupt the business model 65. If the company does not execute its technology strategy effectively, or if competitors develop more cost-effective or client-preferred technologies, it could result in loss of revenue and reduced margins 66. The regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is evolving and uncertain, with potential for significant operational costs to modify business practices or constrain development 67. The company is subject to uncertainties and rapid variability in demand by clients, and client contracts often include termination for convenience clauses, which could cause fluctuations in revenue and operating results 68. The company's dependence on a limited number of clients (top five clients represented approximately 19% of revenue in fiscal year 2025) increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations and potential adverse effects if business is lost from one or more of these clients 69.
Risk Factors
Concentrix faces several material risks, including global macroeconomic conditions such as economic slowdowns, inflation, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, and supply chain disruptions, which can affect client demand and the company's growth 70. Geopolitical tensions and conflicts, including those in Ukraine and Gaza and between India and Pakistan, can impact global financial markets, supply chains, and increase costs 71. Cyberattacks or improper disclosure of personal or confidential information pose significant risks, potentially disrupting operations, leading to liability, and harming reputation 72. The company's reliance on a large workforce of approximately 455,000 staff and contractors introduces risks of misconduct, negligence, or fraud, which could result in monetary damages, fines, or criminal prosecution 73. Uncertainty and disruption from new and emerging technologies, particularly the increased adoption of GenAI and agentic AI, could significantly disrupt the business model, potentially replacing lower complexity services and requiring substantial resources for development and implementation to maintain competitiveness 74. Operating globally in 74 countries, with significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Egypt, Brazil, Türkiye, Colombia, and Malaysia, exposes the company to political and economic instability, armed conflicts, foreign currency volatility, and challenges in hiring and retaining staff 75. The industry is intensely competitive and subject to dynamic changes in business models, with potential for new entrants, lower pricing from competitors, or clients internalizing services, which could reduce market share and revenue 76. The company's level of indebtedness, approximately $4.65 billion as of November 30, 2025, prior to debt issuance costs, could require a substantial portion of cash flow for debt payments, limit strategic acquisitions, and increase vulnerability to adverse economic conditions 77. A one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on variable-rate debt would cause an estimated increase in interest expense of approximately $24.4 million per year 78.
Management Priorities
Management's message to shareholders emphasizes the company's position as a global technology and services leader, powering exceptional brand experiences and digital operations for over 2,000 clients worldwide. They highlight the company's ability to design, build, and run fully integrated, end-to-end solutions, including CX process optimization, technology innovation, automation, analytics, and business transformation services. Management stresses the importance of delivering exceptional services globally, supported by deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise. The strategic priorities for the period ahead include expanding and deepening relationships with existing clients, relentlessly innovating and developing technology services and solutions, and selectively pursuing strategic acquisitions. The company expects fiscal year 2026 capital expenditures to be approximately $240 million to $250 million 79, and the board of directors has authorized an increase in the share repurchase program to $600 million 80, with approximately $439.5 million 81 remaining available as of November 30, 2025. Quarterly cash dividends are expected to continue, with a cash dividend of $0.36 per share 82 announced on January 13, 2026.
