NEWTOWN, Pa., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), a leading digital transformation services and product engineering company, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

“After navigating a dynamic year, we are pleased to report a strong fourth quarter. We continued to build sequential momentum, and saw a return to year-over-year organic growth, while we simultaneously accelerated our global strategy with the acquisitions of NEORIS and First Derivative,” said Arkadiy Dobkin, CEO & President, EPAM. “As we look ahead, we believe 2025 will be a year of transition, as clients balance their cost focus with the need to accelerate their transformational and GenAI journeys. We see a strong need to continue to invest in our talent, advanced technological and consulting capabilities, and the integration of recent acquisitions to best position ourselves to capture market share once demand returns to more normalized levels.”

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

Revenues increased to $1.248 billion, a year-over-year increase of $91.1 million, or 7.9%. On an organic constant currency basis, revenues grew 1.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023;GAAP income from operations was $136.5 million, an increase of $14.0 million, or 11.4%, compared to $122.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023;Non-GAAP income from operations was $208.2 million, an increase of $7.8 million, or 3.9%, compared to $200.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023;Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on a GAAP basis was $1.80, an increase of $0.14, or 8.4%, compared to $1.66 in the fourth quarter of 2023;Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.84, an increase of $0.09, or 3.3%, compared to $2.75 in the fourth quarter of 2023;Completed the acquisition of NEORIS creating a competitive offering for clients across Latin America and in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, while broadening EPAM’s global and nearshore delivery capabilities across Latin America and Europe; andCompleted the acquisition of First Derivative strengthening EPAM’s financial services consulting and delivery capabilities in North America, Europe and APAC and expanding our client portfolio in financial services.

Full Year 2024 Highlights

Revenues increased to $4.728 billion, a year-over-year increase of $37.4 million, or 0.8%. On an organic constant currency basis, revenues declined 1.7% year-over-year;We recorded a benefit of $68.8 million for research & development government incentives in Poland. Specifically, $23.5 million of the benefit related to activities performed during 2023 and $45.3 million of the benefit related to activities performed during the full year of 2024. This benefit was included as a reduction to our Cost of revenues.  The impact of this benefit on net income was partially offset as the incentives drove a higher effective tax rate for both GAAP and non-GAAP results. We expect the incentive will be recurring with benefits recognized continuing in the future;GAAP income from operations was $544.6 million, an increase of $43.3 million, or 8.6%, compared to $501.2 million in 2023. GAAP income from operations benefited from the recognition of $68.8 million of incentives related to research and development activities performed in Poland and was negatively impacted by $31.3 million of costs incurred in connection with the Company’s Cost Optimization Programs;Non-GAAP income from operations was $779.2 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 1.8%, compared to $765.1 million in 2023. Non-GAAP income from operations benefited from the recognition of $45.3 million of incentives related to research and development activities performed in Poland in 2024;Diluted EPS on a GAAP basis was $7.84, an increase of $0.78, or 11.0%, compared to $7.06 in 2023. EPS on a GAAP basis was positively impacted by the recognition of the Polish incentives, which increased income from operations. However, this benefit was partially offset by an increase to the effective tax rate; andNon-GAAP diluted EPS was $10.86, an increase of $0.27, or 2.5%, compared to $10.59 in 2023. EPS on a non-GAAP basis was positively impacted by the recognition of the Polish incentives for activities performed during the full year of 2024, which increased income from operations. However, this benefit was partially offset by an increase to the effective tax rate.

Cash Flow and Other Metrics

Cash provided by operating activities was $130.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease from $171.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023; and was $559.2 million in 2024, a decrease from $562.6 million in 2023;The Company repurchased 53 thousand shares of its common stock for $13.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 under its share repurchase program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,854 thousand shares of its common stock for $398.0 million under its share repurchase programs. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $437.0 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization;Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $1.290 billion as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $752.7 million, or 36.8%, from $2.043 billion as of December 31, 2023 largely the result of payments for the acquisitions of NEORIS and First Derivative; andTotal headcount was approximately 61,200 as of December 31, 2024. Included in this number were approximately 55,100 delivery professionals, an increase of 16.3% from December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EPAM supplements results reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in EPAM’s business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicate internally and externally, for managing EPAM’s business and evaluating its performance. Management also believes these measures help investors compare EPAM’s operating performance with its results in prior periods. EPAM anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results, including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs including amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of assets, expenses associated with EPAM’s humanitarian commitment to its professionals in Ukraine, unbilled business continuity resources resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, costs associated with the geographic repositioning of EPAM employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by the war and geopolitical instability in the region, employee separation costs incurred in connection with restructuring programs including the Company’s exit from Russia, certain other one-time charges and benefits, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, foreign exchange gains and losses, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and the related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Management also compares revenues on an “organic constant currency basis,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure excludes the effect of acquisitions by removing revenues from an acquired company in the twelve months after completing an acquisition, the decision to exit from Russia by removing revenues from clients located in Russia in both the current period and prior period of comparison, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations by translating current period revenues into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison. Because EPAM’s reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures reported by other companies within EPAM’s industry. Consequently, EPAM’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but rather, should be considered together with the information in EPAM’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a)

We have excluded from non-GAAP results the portion of the benefit from Poland R&D incentives related to qualifying activities performed in 2023 as it represents a nonrecurring one-time benefit.

(b)

Humanitarian support in Ukraine includes expenses related to EPAM’s $100 million humanitarian commitment in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to support EPAM professionals and their families in and displaced from Ukraine. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.

(c)

Given the uncertainty in the region introduced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, EPAM has assigned delivery professionals in locations outside of the region to ensure the continuity of delivery for customers who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion. These employees are not billed to clients and operate largely in a standby or backup capacity. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.

(d)

Cost Optimization charges include severance, facilities and contract termination charges incurred in connection with the programs initiated in the third quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2024. Consistent with the Company’s historical non-GAAP policy, costs incurred in connection with formal restructuring initiatives have been excluded from non-GAAP results as these are one-time and unusual in nature.

(e)

Geographic repositioning includes expenses associated with the relocation to other countries of employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by the war and geopolitical instability in the region, and includes the cost of accommodations, travel and food. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.

(f)

On July 26, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its remaining operations in Russia and recorded a loss on sale of approximately $25.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, including the recognition of the accumulated currency translation loss related to this foreign entity that was previously included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the financial statements. The Company excluded this loss from non-GAAP results as it is one-time and unusual in nature.

(g)

One-time benefit related to the implementation of tax planning to disregard certain foreign subsidiaries as separate entities for U.S. income tax purposes. Consistent with the Company’s historical non-GAAP policy, the benefit related to the implementation of tax planning has been excluded from non-GAAP results as it is one-time and unusual in nature.

Blaize and Winmate Sign Strategic Partnership Agreement to Bring AI to Rugged Systems for Defense and Critical Infrastructure

Published

on

By

Joint solutions combine Blaize’s energy-efficient and industrial-grade AI chips with Winmate’s rugged platforms – including drones, handhelds, vehicle-mounted units, and embedded edge devices used by defense, border security, maritime, and healthcare operators.

TAIPEI and EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blaize Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZAI, Nasdaq: BZAIW) (“Blaize,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), and Winmate Inc., a publicly traded company in Taiwan, today announced they have signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement (“Agreement”) with an intent to close approximately $15 million in business during the first year. The two companies will integrate Blaize’s AI chips into Winmate’s rugged systems, including drones, handhelds, vehicle-mounted units, and embedded devices that have to keep working in the field, often in places where regular hardware can’t survive.

The companies expect the Agreement to be the start of a much larger, multi-year relationship.

Why this partnership matters

Most AI today runs in large data centers rather than at the edge, where decisions must be made in real time. This model is often impractical for soldiers at remote posts, Coast Guard crew at sea, or medics in field clinics. They often don’t have a reliable network connection, and even when they do, they can’t afford to wait for an application to respond from halfway across the globe.

That’s the gap Blaize and Winmate intend to address through this partnership. Blaize’s chips were designed to industrial grade specifications and run AI directly on the device, with no cloud dependency. Winmate’s systems are purpose-built to perform in extreme environments, including heat, cold, dust, vibration, and rough handling. Together, they deliver real-time AI capabilities exactly where it’s needed, whether in drones, field units, the patrol vehicles, or diagnostic devices.

A fast-growing market

Demand for on-device AI is accelerating. According to BCC Research[1], the global edge AI market is projected to grow from $11.8 billion in 2025 to $56.8 billion by 2030, a 36.9% compound annual growth rate. Defense agencies, governments, hospitals, ports, and critical infrastructure operators all demand AI that can run securely on their equipment, without sending sensitive data over public networks.

From the leaders

“Our customers can’t wait, and they often can’t rely on the cloud. They need AI that runs where the work happens. Winmate makes some of the most capable rugged systems in the industry, and our chips are designed to run AI inside exactly those kinds of devices. This partnership turns a years-long vision into a practical, deployable answer for defense and critical infrastructure operators,” said Dinakar Munagala, CEO of Blaize, Inc.

“Our platforms are deployed on naval vessels, in border outposts, on industrial sites, and in disaster zones – environments where most hardware fails. With Blaize, we can now deliver those same systems with on-device AI built in, giving customers real-time intelligence wherever they operate,” said Ken Lu, Chairman and CEO of Winmate Inc.

Target applications

Border security and surveillance: Real-time threat detection and perimeter monitoringMobile command and control: On-site intelligence and situational awareness for field teamsDrones and unmanned systems: Autonomous navigation and mission execution for UAVs and ground vehiclesCritical infrastructure: Continuous monitoring and predictive analytics for power, ports, and transportationMaritime domain awareness: Vessel tracking and anomaly detection at seaField healthcare: Portable diagnostics and decision support in remote and disaster environments

Deal at a glance

First-year revenue: the parties intend to work in good faith to close approximately $15 million in business, expected to scale meaningfully in subsequent yearsTerm: Three-year initial term, with automatic renewalNext steps: Joint engineering, sales, and marketing execution to bring integrated systems to market, with additional opportunities to be added through follow-on programs
