Genpact’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2025 of $0.17 per common share, an 11% increase, payable on March 26, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2025, and approved a $500 million increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase authorization. The newly approved quarterly dividend represents a planned annual dividend of $0.68 per common share, increased from $0.61 per common share in 2024.

Outlook

Genpact’s outlook for the full year 2025 is as follows:

Net revenues in the range of $5.029 billion to $5.125 billion, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 5.5% to 7.5% as reported, or 6.2% to 8.2% on a constant currency basis.1Data-Tech-AI net revenues growth of approximately 6.2% year-over-year and Digital Operations net revenues growth of approximately 6.8% year-over-year as reported at the midpoint of the range.Data-Tech-AI net revenues growth of approximately 6.4% year-over-year and Digital Operations net revenues growth of approximately 7.9% year-over-year on a constant currency basis1 at the midpoint of the range.Gross margin of approximately 36.0%.Adjusted income from operations margin9 of approximately 17.3%.Adjusted diluted EPS10 in the range of $3.52 to $3.59.

Genpact’s outlook for the first quarter of 2025 is as follows:

Net revenues in the range of $1.202 billion to $1.213 billion, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 6.2% to 7.2% as reported, or 7.1% to 8.1% on a constant currency basis.1Data-Tech-AI net revenues growth of approximately 9.8% year-over-year and Digital Operations net revenues growth of approximately 4.1% year-over-year as reported at the midpoint of the range.Data-Tech-AI net revenues growth of approximately 10.0% year-over-year and Digital Operations net revenues growth of approximately 5.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis1 at the midpoint of the range.Gross margin of approximately 35.0%.Adjusted income from operations margin9 of approximately 16.5%.Adjusted diluted EPS10 in the range of $0.79 to $0.80.

Our outlook for the first quarter and full year 2025 reflects foreign currency exchange rates as of January 30, 2025.

1 Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates adjusted for hedging gains/losses in such period.

2 Net revenues and Data-Tech-AI net revenues for the full year 2023 include $0.5 million of revenue associated with a business classified as held for sale.

3 Both on an as reported and constant currency basis.

4 Genpact updated the classification of certain revenues from Digital Operations to Data-Tech-AI in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to more accurately reflect the nature of, and mode of delivery for, the services provided, which have evolved over time. As a result, the revenue from Digital Operations and Data-Tech-AI for the full year 2023 originally reported was $2.48 billion and $1.99 billion, respectively, which is $2.39 billion and $2.09 billion, respectively, in accordance with the updated classification. The numbers presented in this release for Data-Tech-AI net revenues and Digital Operations net revenues may not add up precisely to the total net revenues provided due to rounding.

5 Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of GAAP diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share is attached to this release.

6 During the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, Genpact completed an intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property rights from non-US to US wholly-owned subsidiaries, which resulted in a non-recurring tax benefit of $170 million. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023 included this benefit. This benefit was excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted income from operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

7 Adjusted income from operations and adjusted income from operations margin are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of each of GAAP income from operations and GAAP net income to adjusted income from operations and GAAP income from operations margin and GAAP net income margin to adjusted income from operations margin are attached to this release. Adjusted income from operations margin for the full year 2023 was derived by adjusting total revenue to exclude $0.5 million of revenue associated with a business previously classified as held for sale.

8 New bookings, an operating measure, represents the total contract value of new contracts and certain renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts. Regular renewals of contracts with no change in scope are not counted as new bookings. Prior to 2024, new bookings of contracts with longer than five-year terms were limited to the total contract value of the initial five-year term. In 2024, Genpact updated its definition of new bookings to eliminate the five-year limitation. New bookings as reported for the full year 2023 were $4.9 billion and would have been $5.0 billion in accordance with the new definition. New bookings for the full year 2024 as reported are $5.7 billion and would have been $5.4 billion in accordance with the prior definition.

9 Adjusted income from operations margin is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of the outlook for each of GAAP income from operations margin and GAAP net income margin to adjusted income from operations margin is attached to this release.

10 Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of the outlook for GAAP diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share is attached to this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:

Adjusted income from operations; Adjusted income from operations margin;Adjusted diluted earnings per share; and Revenue growth on a constant currency basis.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of Genpact’s GAAP financial statements to such non-GAAP financial measures should be carefully evaluated.

Given Genpact’s acquisitions of varying scale and size, and the difficulty in predicting expenses relating to acquisitions and the amortization of acquired intangibles thereof, since July 2012 Genpact’s management has used financial statements that exclude all acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles for its internal management reporting, budgeting and decision-making purposes, including comparing Genpact’s operating results to those of its competitors. For the same reasons, since April 2016, Genpact’s management has excluded the impairment of acquired intangible assets from the financial statements it uses for internal management purposes. Acquisition-related expenses are excluded in the period in which an acquisition is consummated. Genpact’s management also uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” Genpact’s management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude such expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact’s operating results and those of other companies.

During the second quarter of 2022, Genpact approved a plan to divest a business that was no longer deemed strategic. Given the specialized nature of this business, we anticipated completing a transaction within twelve months after the end of the second quarter of 2022, and therefore, we classified the revenues and expenses related to this business as held for sale with effect from April 1, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company consummated this transaction and recorded a loss on the sale of the business. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company terminated a lease for office property which was fully impaired as part of a restructuring in the second quarter of 2022 and recorded a gain on such lease termination as restructuring income in the second quarter of 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, Genpact completed an intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property rights from non-US to US wholly-owned subsidiaries, which resulted in a non-recurring tax benefit of $170 million. Genpact’s management believes that excluding the loss on the sale of the business previously classified as held for sale, the revenues and expenses associated with such business, the gain on the lease termination and the non-recurring tax benefit on the transfer of intellectual property rights in calculating its non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to both management and investors regarding the Company’s financial performance and underlying business trends. Additionally, in its calculations of non-GAAP financial measures, Genpact’s management has adjusted foreign exchange gains and losses, interest income and expense and income tax expenses from GAAP net income, and other income and expenses, and certain gains from GAAP income from operations, because management believes that the Company’s results after taking into account these adjustments more accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing operations. In its calculations of adjusted diluted earnings per share, Genpact’s management adds back stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, and acquisition-related expenses along with the related tax impact of other adjustments and excludes the non-recurring tax benefit on the transfer of intellectual property rights from GAAP diluted earnings per share. For the purpose of calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share, the combined current and deferred tax effect is determined by multiplying each pre-tax adjustment by the applicable statutory income tax rate.

Genpact’s management provides information about revenues on a constant currency basis so that the revenues may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations compared to prior fiscal periods, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s true business performance. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates adjusted for hedging gains/losses in such period.

Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of adjusted income from operations, adjusted income from operations margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share and revenue growth on a constant currency basis, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, can provide useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

A limitation of using adjusted income from operations and adjusted income from operations margin versus income from operations, income from operations margin, net income and net income margin calculated in accordance with GAAP is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain recurring costs and certain other charges, namely stock-based compensation expense and amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the GAAP amounts excluded from adjusted income from operations and adjusted income from operations margin.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three months and years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024:

Manufacturing Category at 139th Canton Fair Presents Smarter, Lighter and More Connected Solutions

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 139th Canton Fair, Manufacturing category presented a clear view of how industrial equipment is evolving to address efficiency, labor shortages, and sustainability goals. Across power equipment, machinery, automation systems, and industrial robots, exhibitors pointed to a common direction: smarter operation, stronger engineering performance, and deeper integration with digital manufacturing systems.

Industrial equipment is advancing towards intelligence with products emphasizing built-in sensing and automatic adjustment to enhance reliability and efficiency. Silent inverter generators, for example, can detect operating conditions and ambient temperature to regulate cooling for better fuel use and stability. Pumps and cleaning equipment with variable-frequency drives and integrated protection systems follow the same approach, prioritizing smooth operation, longer service life, and consistent output.

Lightweight, high-performance design has also become a priority across categories. Advances in materials and structural engineering are enabling major weight reductions without compromising power or durability. Aluminum-extrusion housings in three-phase asynchronous motors cut weight by up to 40% while improving heat dissipation and installation efficiency. Lightweight permanent-magnet submersible pumps delivered stronger flow stability despite smaller size and reduced weight.

AI-based visual inspection and quality control are also becoming essential. AI-powered optical inspection stations demonstrated full-process, high-speed inspection without relying on manual sampling. By turning experience-based judgment into standardized, repeatable rules, these systems help manufacturers improve scalability and consistency.

Industrial robots are taking on more active roles as well. Security patrol robot dogs and inspection robots are moving beyond monitoring to direct intervention, such as carrying fire-suppression modules for emergency response. This shift marks a broader move from passive observation to active execution in high-risk or labor-intensive environments.

Finally, more industrial devices are being designed as system nodes rather than standalone machines. Intelligent industrial gateways that combine data collection, protocol conversion, edge computing, and secure transmission show how equipment value increasingly depends on its ability to connect with enterprise-level digital systems.

The 139th Canton Fair vividly showcased the accelerated shift of industrial equipment toward intelligent and system-level development.

Province adds three unicorns, expands high-growth pipeline
Hangzhou accounts for 83% as new entrants and startups scale up

HANGZHOU, China, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zhejiang’s roster of unicorn companies has expanded to 58 as of April 2026, highlighting the province’s growing role as a hub for emerging technologies and industrial upgrading.

The latest rankings, released at the 10th All Blossom Conference in Hangzhou on April 23, show companies spread across seven cities, including Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Jinhua, Shaoxing, Taizhou and Wenzhou.

While Hangzhou, Ningbo and Jiaxing remain the top three hubs, the broader distribution points to a more geographically balanced innovation landscape. The province’s unicorn count rose by three from a year earlier.

Hangzhou continues to dominate the landscape, home to 48 of Zhejiang’s unicorns, up from 44 last year—when it already accounted for roughly four out of every five such startups.

The annual rankings also include tiered lists of “future unicorns,” valued between $100 million and $1 billion, and early-stage “seed unicorns” worth $10 million to $100 million.

Together, they map a full pipeline of high-growth companies across sectors such as artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence, life sciences, new energy, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and aerospace, and have become a key barometer of Zhejiang’s startup ecosystem.

Among the top 100 future unicorns, integrated circuits lead with 22 companies, followed by artificial intelligence and life sciences with 19 each. Advanced manufacturing accounts for 16 firms, new energy and materials 15, and next-generation information technology nine.

In the seed unicorn category, new energy and life sciences each count 22 companies, ahead of advanced manufacturing with 19, while AI, next-generation IT and semiconductors each have 11 firms, and aerospace-related companies total four.

Against that provincial backdrop, Hangzhou remains the clear center of gravity—continuing to generate both the largest share of unicorns and the deepest pipeline of emerging startups.

The city added eight companies to its unicorn ranks on April 23, bringing the total to 48, according to the same conference ranking.

The new entrants—Hailiang Technology Services, Geener Microelectronics, Spirit AI, Geespace, Sunrise, Seepin, DEEP Robotics and Simplexity Robotics—span sectors from semiconductors and robotics to commercial aerospace.

As of April, Hangzhou accounted for 83% of Zhejiang’s unicorns, up from 80% a year earlier, underscoring its outsized role in the province’s innovation economy.

The conference also released a list of 413 quasi-unicorns—companies typically valued between $100 million and $1 billion—including 50 new additions.

Several firms, such as Diagens Biotechnology, Manycore Tech, Mirxes, Promisemed, Saint Bella, Tide Pharmaceutical, Tongshifu and ISV, exited the list after scaling into unicorn status or completing initial public offerings.

Quasi-unicorns are concentrated in sectors aligned with Hangzhou’s broader “296X” industrial strategy. Life sciences lead with 118 firms, followed by next-generation information technology with 78 and AI and embodied intelligence with 50—together accounting for about 60% of the total.

The “296X” is an industrial cluster blueprint the city introduced in October 2025 in an effort to speed up the integration of technological and industrial innovation.

More than half of both unicorns and quasi-unicorns—255 companies—are classified as nationally recognized “specialized and refined” enterprises, including 20 unicorns and 235 quasi-unicorns, reflecting a structured pipeline of high-growth firms.

Since 2018, Hangzhou’s unicorn count has risen from 26 to 48, while quasi-unicorns have expanded from 105 to 413, underscoring sustained growth in its innovation-driven economy.

KUN Unveils AI Intelligent Strategy at Money20/20 Asia: Reconstructing Global Commercial Efficiency with “1-1-4-6” Layout

Published

on

By

BANGKOK, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the prestigious Money20/20 Asia held at QSNCC, KUN showcased its upgraded brand identity and launched the “1-1-4-6” Intelligent Strategic Blueprint. This milestone marks KUN’s comprehensive transition toward a globalized, full-stack, and intelligent ecosystem.

Dr. Louis Liu, Founder & Group CEO of KUN, stated at the launch: “While the convergence of Web2 and Web3 defines the current era, we believe the embedded ecosystem synergy of AI and Web3 is the inevitable future of commerce. Our evolution is an intelligent reconstruction of commercial efficiency. By leveraging decades of vertical payment expertise, we provide enterprise clients with full-stack, end-to-end payment and financial solutions. Through digital orchestration and operations, we deliver secure, compliant, and high-velocity transaction safeguards to empower global business growth.”

Money20/20 Roundtable: Compliance as the “Scaling Layer” for Institutional Adoption

At the “Bridging TradFi and DeFi” roundtable, Dr. Liu shared three key insights on the future of cross-border finance:

Asia as the Hub for Real-World Stablecoin Settlement: Asia has emerged as a critical hub for cross-border trade flows and stablecoin settlement, connecting high-growth emerging markets. Currently, 60% of the world’s on-chain stablecoin trade volume is centered in Asia, making it a primary corridor for capital flows between Asia, LATAM, Africa, and the Middle East.

Compliance as the “Scaling Layer”: The bottleneck for scaling digital payments is not technology or licensing, but the ability to embed jurisdictional compliance frameworks into business logic. Integrating AML and risk controls directly into the payment flow is the prerequisite for the explosion of global institutional applications.

Accelerating AI and Web3 Ecosystem Convergence: As AI agents increasingly enter commercial decision-making, payments are shifting from human-controlled to autonomous. Blockchain and stablecoins will serve as the default infrastructure for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) transactions.

Exhibition Interaction: From Platform Governance to Vertical Efficiency

At the main exhibition area, KUN demonstrated its dual-brand synergy through a new visual identity:

KUN: Positioned as the Trusted Vertical Digital Payments Platform for Real Economy, providing one-stop digital payments and scenario-based on-chain financial solutions.
