Outlook and guidance

• Full-year EBITDA margin guidance remains 24%–28%; margin improvement depends on revenue growth and replacing roles at the lower end of the workforce pyramid.

• FY26 ACV remains the target, but delayed client decisions make matching last year’s level difficult; management is working to maintain or exceed it.

• BFSI recovery is expected cautiously in Q4; seasonal recovery is expected in fashion and luxury, while high-tech and communication media pipelines remain healthy.

• H2 CapEx is expected to be in line with H1; sequential growth could pick up if delayed sales convert.
