Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Industry environment and demand trends
IT services demand has shifted post-COVID, with enterprises now focusing on controlling technology spend and requiring stronger business cases for projects.
The sector is experiencing a pause similar to the early 2000s, driven by macroeconomic pressures and rapid AI advancements.
Gen AI and Agentic AI are seen as transformative, requiring deeper integration into client core systems and more complex engineering than previous digital transformation waves.
Client priorities remain inconsistent, but concerns over security, scalability, and regulation have eased compared to a year ago.
Large deal activity is increasing, with eight major deals closed in Q4 and a record order book, though revenue impact is expected to ramp gradually.
Business model evolution and deal structure
Shift from time-and-materials (T&M) to outcome-based contracts is accelerating, with outcome-based deals now at 23%, up from 17% a year ago.
Larger deals tend to be longer-term and more outcome-focused, reflecting increased confidence in managing risk and delivering business impact.
Flexible pricing structures and new offerings like Endava Flow are being adopted, with some deals providing immediate revenue uplift and others ramping more slowly.
Focus is shifting to larger clients, reducing the long tail of small accounts to improve operational efficiency and revenue quality.
Top 10 clients now account for 37% of revenue, up from 32%, with larger programs concentrated in this cohort.
Financial guidance and operational outlook
Guidance for the year is conservative, with 70% of revenue contracted or committed, up from 60% last year.
Revenue is expected to be flat for the year, with a sequential decline in Q1 due to weakness in payments and TMT, and growth picking up in the second half as large deals ramp.
Gross margin and adjusted operating margin will be pressured by investments in AI and bonus reestablishment, with adjusted PBT expected to end the year at about 8%, down from nearly 11%.
Headcount will see modest growth, mainly at the junior level through graduate recruitment, with a focus on data and AI skills.
Revenue per head is expected to rise over the next two to three years as AI-driven productivity and outcome-based pricing increase.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
