Globant Reports 2026 Second Quarter Financial Results

Published

on

LUXEMBOURG, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Globant (NYSE: GLOB) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

“Glob.AI ARR reached $52.8 million in the second quarter, up 61% quarter-over-quarter, and we now expect no less than $110 million exiting 2026. Alongside that, Globant’s revenue for Q2 reached $614.4 million and free cash flow reached $12.6 million in the quarter, compared to negative $2.9 million a year ago, capping our strongest first half of cash generation on record. Last week we opened Glob.AI to the entire market, a single platform where any enterprise can deploy AI Pods and pay on the output or consumption they receive rather than on the hours behind it. Supported by partnerships with Anthropic, Vercel and OpenAI, among others, we are changing how our services are delivered and how they are priced,” explained Martín Migoya, Globant’s CEO and co-founder.

“In the second quarter of 2026, Globant demonstrated resilient execution, generating $614.4 million in revenue—within our guided range—and delivering record free cash flow generation for the first half of the year. Expansion across our top accounts remained strong, reflecting a 6.9% year-over-year increase in our top 50 clients alongside accelerating market adoption of our higher-margin AI Pods and Glob.AI platform. To navigate broader market volatility and to align with our business model transformation needs, we proactively optimized our structure during the quarter, all while we continued executing on our share repurchase program,” explained Juan Urthiague, Globant’s CFO.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
While the financial figures included in this press release have been computed in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” or a financial statement as defined by International Accounting Standards 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The financial information in this press release has not been audited. 

Globant provides non-IFRS financial measures in addition to reported IFRS results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the company’s business and uses the non-IFRS financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the company’s business and evaluating its performance. The company anticipates that it will continue to report both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures in its financial results, including non-IFRS measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related charges, business optimization costs, and the related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Because the company’s non-IFRS financial measures are not calculated according to IFRS, these measures are not comparable to IFRS and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-IFRS measures reported by other companies within the company’s industry. Consequently, Globant’s non-IFRS financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable IFRS measures, but, rather, should be considered together with its condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and its condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Globant is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Adjusted Profit from Operations Margin or Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, business optimization costs, and the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

Forward Looking Statements 
In addition to historical information, this release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our outlook and guidance, and our strategies, priorities and business plans. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that could impact our actual results include: our ability to maintain current resource utilization rates and productivity levels; our ability to manage attrition and attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals; our ability to accurately price our client contracts; our ability to achieve our anticipated growth; our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth; our ability to retain our senior management team and other key employees; our ability to continue to innovate and remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related market trends; our ability to retain our business relationships and client contracts; our ability to manage the impact of global adverse economic conditions; our ability to manage uncertainty concerning the instability in the current economic, political and social environment in Latin America; and other factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any other risk factors we include in subsequent reports on Form 6-K.

Additionally, while we have concluded, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 presented in the condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income included in this press release, that our goodwill and intangible assets are not impaired, changes in economic or operating conditions impacting our estimates and assumptions could, as noted in our most recent Form 20-F, result in the impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets in future periods.

Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any investment decisions based on our estimates and forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this press release whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Acquisition-related charges include, when applicable, amortization of purchased intangible assets, interest charges on acquisition-related indebtedness, external deal costs, acquisition-related retention bonuses, integration costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, and other acquisition-related costs. We cannot provide acquisition-related charges on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort as such charges may fluctuate based on the timing, size, and complexity of future acquisitions as well as other uncertainty inherent in mergers and acquisitions.One-time charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, related to the Company’s Business Optimization Programs initiated in April 2026 and April 2025, respectively. These charges, primarily related to workforce resizing and office reductions, have been excluded from non-IFRS results as these are one-time and unusual in nature.

Marpai Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Successful turnaround leads to lower operating costs and improved gross margin; debt restructuring and subsequent financing strengthen capital structure

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Marpai, Inc. (“Marpai” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: MRAI), a leader in innovative healthcare technology, Third-Party Administration (TPA), and Pharmacy Benefit Management (“PBM”) services, announced its financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The second quarter marked the successful continuation of Marpai’s turnaround.

Net loss

$(4.4) million

4.9% increase

Revenue declined primarily due to turnover and continued customer pruning. Cost of revenue decreased faster than revenue due to a reduction in claims processing expense, resulting in higher gross profit and gross margin. Total costs and expenses also declined, reflecting lower cost of revenue, information technology, sales and marketing, depreciation and amortization, and facilities expense, partially offset by higher general and administrative expense.

OPERATING AND STRATEGIC UPDATE

We continue to prune and adjust our customer base while adjusting our cost base to reflect our growing use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other technological solutions to improve our efficiency and generate better returns.

Marpai continued to streamline its operating model during the quarter. Information technology expenses decreased to $1.1 million from $1.3 million in for the six months ended June 30, 2025, while sales and marketing expenses decreased to $136 thousand from $312 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Facilities expenses declined to $116 thousand from $160 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Debt Restructuring:

As previously disclosed, in May 2026, the Company amended its senior secured convertible debentures, extending their maturity to April 15, 2028, and revising the amortization schedule. In July 2026, the Company amended its AXA notes extending their maturity to 2029 and revising the amortization schedule and repayment schedules.

Capital raise:

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2026, on July 31, 2026, the Company priced a private placement offering of newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $12.1 million to the Company. The financing is expected to support the Company’s operations and strategic priorities.

Management Commentary

“We believe that our second-quarter results demonstrate continued progress in revamping our cost structure to support the expected growth of the business by deploying AI and other technological solutions to improve our efficiency and increase our margins,” said Damien Lamendola, Chief Executive Officer of Marpai. “While revenue continued to reflect lingering customer pruning and turnover, our lower cost of revenue and disciplined investments in process improvements and technology improved gross margin and reduced our operating loss. The debt amendments and subsequent financing improved our capital structure as we focus on growing our customer base profitably, improving client services, and building a more scalable platform.”

SIX-MONTH 2026 RESULTS

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $8.6 million, compared with $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Total costs and expenses were $14.5 million, compared with $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Operating loss was $5.9 million, compared with $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and net loss was $7.8 million, or $(0.31) per basic and diluted share, compared with $7.4 million, or $(0.49) per basic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.6 million for the first six months of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $138 thousand. These balances do not include the $12.1 million of gross proceeds from the private placement completed after quarter-end, as disclosed above.
