Mr. Igal Zamir, CEO and President of TAT Technologies stated “We are very pleased to present the results of 2023. Since Q4 of 2022 we are in constant growth mode. This as a result of the increasing demand to our products and services as well as our new line of services and operation ramp up. The demand continues to grow while our industry is ramping up from the COVID crisis. During 2023 we managed to improve our margins leading to a record year in all relevant aspects of revenue, gross margin and EBITDA. We saw our backlog increase to a record number of over $400 million. We are pleased to see that the strategic shift the Company made over the last 3 years is starting to bear fruit, enabling the Company to compete and win large strategic deals and enjoy improved margin. We ended 2023 with positive operational cash flow despite the revenue increase and the need for working capital to support the growth. The industry supply chain challenges force us to hold much more inventory than what we used to pre COVID”.
Mr Zamir continue: “We remain optimistic for 2024 as we see our increase in backlog and its coverage for the year, new contracts that we believe will yield additional revenue, and the large potential from the new APU MRO capabilities. Various operational initiatives keep us optimistic that our margins will continue to improve.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents a Non-GAAP presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before the Company’s share in results and sale of equity investment of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, depreciation and amortization, inventory impairment from exit and dismissal activity and customers relationship write off. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternatives to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor they are meant to be predictive of potential future results. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of GAAP Adjusted EBITDA below.

Cognizant Propels AI Workforce Training with Cognizant Skillspring™: New Talent Transformation Platform Designed to Accelerate Clients’ Workforce AI Readiness
Published
11 minutes agoon
April 21, 2026By
New AI-native platform equips organizations to achieve AI fluency, aligns workforce capabilities with the demands of an AI-powered economy and drives outcome-based learning tailored to business objectives
Skillspring leverages Cognizant’s long-standing workforce training expertise to help enterprises address skilling as a critical AI infrastructure investment
TEANECK, N.J., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) today unveiled Cognizant Skillspring™, a multimodal, AI-native, conversational learning platform designed to redefine learning in the AI era and help businesses cultivate AI-ready talent at scale. The platform moves beyond static courses and compliance-driven training to enable organizations to respond to rapidly changing roles, technologies and skills demands, and help learning investments translate to business outcomes.
Cognizant’s New Work New World 2026 research found AI is reshaping work far faster than anticipated, with AI now capable of handling $4.5 trillion in U.S. work tasks and impacting up to 93% of jobs today, outpacing the speed at which conventional learning systems can respond. As enterprises redesign work across human and agentic teams, skilling is becoming a core part of the AI infrastructure every organization needs – building the fluency people require to adapt as work evolves, contribute in new ways and grow into emerging roles.
Cognizant Skillspring uses AI agent-driven tutoring and content creation to deliver high-quality, personalized learning across large workforces while helping organizations manage learning and development costs more efficiently. The platform maps skills directly to roles, projects and performance outcomes, and adapts learning paths as roles and skill requirements evolve. Conversational, multimodal experiences embed learning directly into clients’ daily workflows so employees build skills while work gets done.
Internally, Cognizant Skillspring is complemented by the AI Fluency Dashboard, a personalized, real‑time view that gives every associate visibility into their AI readiness while encouraging real‑world AI usage and innovation across the enterprise. The dashboard provides Cognizant associates with insight into their AI skills, learning progress, usage and innovation – using scoring and gamification to accelerate adoption and drive stronger application of AI in day‑to‑day work.
“The AI era requires more dynamic learning systems designed to evolve as work, roles and technologies change. Cognizant Skillspring is purpose-built for the pace and complexity of this moment, enabling continuous talent transformation in the flow of work,” said Kathy Diaz, Chief People Officer, Cognizant. “As an AI builder, Cognizant focuses on turning AI investment into real-world outcomes for our clients. Cognizant Skillspring improves time-to-competency and alignment between skills investments and business priorities – helping ensure workforces remain ready as roles and technologies continue to dynamically evolve.”
Cognizant Skillspring is also available for universities, colleges, community and workforce development partners, underscoring Cognizant’s commitment to creating pathways for talent from all backgrounds to thrive in the AI age. This effort builds on the company’s ongoing investments in skilling and workforce readiness, including Synapse, Cognizant’s global upskilling program, and the company’s White House pledge, to invest in America’s youth and AI education.
“Like all education institutions, The Marcy Lab School must evolve in order to meet the pace of change in the economy and prepare our fellows for a rapidly shifting world of work,” said Reuben Ogbonna II, Executive Director, The Marcy Lab School. “In the age of AI, nearly every workflow is being reshaped and we see this as a significant opportunity to strengthen how we prepare young adults for meaningful careers. Through Cognizant’s support and the Skillspring platform, our fellows will build job skills faster through high-quality learning aligned to the roles and projects they’ll take on at leading companies.”
Already deployed internally at Cognizant, Skillspring builds upon the company’s award-winning learning and development expertise and investments that provide a framework to upskill hundreds of thousands of Cognizant employees each year.
“Our upskilling engine combines advanced technology and digital and critical human skills, with learning programs recognized for future-forward curriculum, innovation and measurable impact,” said Thirumala Arohi, Chief Learning Officer, Cognizant. “Cognizant Skillspring brings an AI-native learning experience to businesses, community and academic ecosystems, supporting enterprise-scale workforce transformation as well as partners preparing learners for in-demand roles and evolving skill requirements.”

ATLANTA and BENGALURU, India, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quality Executive Partners, Inc.® (QxP), a global leader in pharmaceutical quality, workforce development, regulatory compliance, and manufacturing consulting, today announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Vi’eNnI® Training and Consulting LLP to introduce and scale Virtuosi® across the Indian biopharmaceutical market.
Virtuosi helps biopharmaceutical manufacturers to solve one of their most critical operational challenges—the readiness of the workforce to perform in high-risk, high-complexity GMP environments—by building and sustaining operational capability across the employee lifecycle.
Under this agreement, Vienni will be QxP’s exclusive partner for Virtuosi in India, leading market engagement, client identification, and commercial activities.

With this established network, operational credibility, and relationships across India’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers, Vienni is uniquely positioned to drive the adoption of Virtuosi at scale across the Indian market.
“This alliance is intended to deepen, enrich, and embed the field of training. The advantage of this collaboration is expected to make learning stick, with recall much higher when a participant leaves the learning zone,” said Vishal Sharma, Co-Founder Director, Vi’eNnI® TRAINING & CONSULTING LLP
“This marks the beginning of driving innovation and shaping outcomes that matter. Together, we forge a partnership that speaks the language of impact, influence, and enduring progress for teaching-learning & implementation,” said Ivy Louis, Founder Director, Vi’eNnI® TRAINING & CONSULTING LLP
“Vi’eNnI®’s mission is to empower doers to excel in their craft. This association with QxP for Virtuosi marks a pivotal step in advancing workforce capability and highlighting the strategic value of immersive training in India. We are proud to continue driving this mission forward.”
“We are honored to partner with Vi’eNnI® , a highly respected organization with deep roots in the Indian pharmaceutical industry,” said Crystal Mersh, Chief Executive Officer of Quality Executive Partners, Inc. “Together, we are enabling broader access to Virtuosi in a way that allows clients to build and sustain the knowledge, skills, and behaviors required to perform under real operating conditions. This embeds compliance and capability into daily execution in order to deliver high quality medicines to patients around the world.”
Virtuosi by QxP: Advancing Workforce Capability in India’s Globally Critical Pharmaceutical Hubs
India is one of the most critical pharmaceutical manufacturing markets globally and is poised for significant growth in the coming years, particularly across biologics, biosimilars, and advanced therapies. As manufacturers expand into more complex product categories and face increasing scrutiny from global regulatory agencies—including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) —the ability to rapidly build, standardize, and sustain a high-performing, inspection-ready workforce has become a strategic priority.
cGMP experts at QxP created Virtuosi to address this exact challenge. Virtuosi is an immersive workforce readiness program accredited by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), aligning with globally recognized standards for continuing education and distinguishing it as the only virtual reality–based training program to achieve such accreditation.
Combining virtual reality interactive experiences with digital course content, Virtuosi enables professionals to practice critical manufacturing and quality processes—such as aseptic operations, microbiology, and advanced therapies—in realistic, risk-free environments. The platform includes over 100 hours of education, 56 technical courses, and 20 immersive VR experiences, and is available in seven languages—English, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, and Swedish—to support global workforce standardization. Virtuosi helps organizations reduce human error, accelerate time to competency, and improve compliance and operational performance across global pharmaceutical operations.
By shifting training from passive instruction to experiential learning, Virtuosi helps reduce time to competency and human error, improve inspection readiness, and drive measurable quality outcomes which translates directly to revenue protection and growth. This partnership strengthens not only the competitiveness of individual organizations, but also the long-term resilience, regulatory standing, and global leadership of India’s pharmaceutical sector.
