ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2026. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company” or “Concentrix” refer to Concentrix Corporation and its subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Overview and Basis of Presentation
Concentrix is a global technology and services leader that powers exceptional brand experiences and digital operations for more than 2,000 clients across the globe. We design, build, and run fully integrated, end-to-end solutions, including customer experience (“CX”) process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics, and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, including voice, chat, email, GenAI- and agentic AI-powered self-service, social media, asynchronous messaging,
30
and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.
We generate revenue from performing services and providing technology that is generally tied to our clients’ products and services. Any shift in business, demand, or the size of the market for our clients’ products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients’ products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity.
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
We generate revenue through the provision of technology and services to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are generally subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.
Our technology and services are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 99% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions is typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our technology and services. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the technology and services, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.
For the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately 90% and 89%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 52% and 55%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars. We expect that a significant amount of our revenue will continue to be generated from our non-U.S. operations while being priced in U.S. dollars. We have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the Egyptian pound, the Columbian peso, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs, and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.
Margins
Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our technology and services are delivered, client volume trends, the amount of lead time that is required for programs or services to become fully scaled, and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are generally able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs as our volumes increase.
Economic and Industry Trends
The industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities, and quality of services. Labor in various markets is also subject to competitive pressures that can result in increased labor costs. These factors subject us to pricing and labor cost pressures that can negatively affect our revenue, gross profit, and operating income.
Our business operates globally in 74 countries across six continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Brazil, the United States, Egypt, Türkiye, Colombia, Malaysia, Morocco, China, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere
31
throughout EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we historically have and expect to continue to be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
In January 2025, the U.S. government began imposing, or threatening to impose, new or increased tariffs on certain countries, materials, and industries, and in response, certain impacted countries have imposed or threatened various retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions on imports from the United States. The tariff environment remains dynamic, and we cannot predict with certainty the effect of future changes in global trade policy and tariffs on our clients’ operations and demand for our services in future periods.
Seasonality
Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal qu

Overview and Basis of Presentation
Concentrix is a global technology and services leader that powers exceptional brand experiences and digital operations for more than 2,000 clients across the globe. We design, build, and run fully integrated, end-to-end solutions, including customer experience (“CX”) process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics, and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, including voice, chat, email, GenAI- and agentic AI-powered self-service, social media, asynchronous messaging, and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.
We generate revenue from performing services and providing technology that is generally tied to our clients’ products and services. Any shift in business, demand, or the size of the market for our clients’ products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients’ products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity. For more information on the risks associated with our business, please see “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Webhelp Combination
On September 25, 2023, we completed our acquisition (the “Webhelp Combination”) of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Shares”) of Marnix Lux SA (“Webhelp”), from the holders thereof (the “Sellers”). The purchase consideration for the acquisition of the Shares was valued at approximately $3,774.8 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired.
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
We generate revenue through the provision of technology and services to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.
Our technology and services are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 99% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our technology and services. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the technology and services, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.
In fiscal years 2025 and 2024, approximately 89% and 88%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 54% and 50%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars. We expect that a significant amount of our revenue will continue to be generated from our non-U.S. operations while being priced in U.S. dollars. We have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the Egyptian pound, the Columbian peso, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs, and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.
Margins
Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our technology and services are delivered, client volume trends, the amount of lead time that is required for programs or services to become fully scaled, and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are generally able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs as our volumes increase.
Economic and Industry Trends
The industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities, and quality of services. Labor in various markets is also subject to competitive pressures that can result in increased labor costs. These factors subject us to pricing and labor cost pressures that can negatively affect our revenue, gross profit, and operating income.
Our business operates globally in 74 countries across six continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Egypt, Brazil, Türkiye, the United States, Colombia, Malaysia, Morocco, China, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere throughout EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we historically have and expect to continue to be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
In January 2025, the U.S. government began imposing, or threatening to impose, new or increased tariffs on certain countries, materials, and industries, and in response, certain impacted countries have imposed or threatened various retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions on imports from the United States. The tariff environment remains dynamic, and we cannot predict with certainty the effect of future changes in global trade policy and tariffs on our clients’ operations and demand for our services in future periods.
Seasonality
Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year than in any other fiscal quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of

revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from our client contracts over time as the promised technology and services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the technology and services. We recognize revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us as we perform the services. We account for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and the consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. We generally invoice a client after the performance of services, or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, our contracts consist of a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).
Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors.
Certain client contracts include additional payments from the client based upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. Certain contracts also provide for a reduction in consideration paid to the Company in the event that certain agreed-upon service levels or performance metrics are not achieved. Revenue based on such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized
