| Jun 18, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Accenture reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues of $18.7 billion, a 6% increase in U.S. dollars, driven by strong growth in Asia Pacific and the Communications, Media & Technology industry group. Managed services revenue grew 8% in U.S. dollars, while consulting grew 4%, though the latter faced slower client spending on smaller, short-duration contracts. New bookings declined 2% to $19.3 billion. Operating margin improved to 17.0%, and diluted earnings per share rose 9% to $3.80. The company is prioritizing "digital core" and AI-ready transformations through its Reinvention Services, including Cybersecurity, Song, and Supply Chain. Financial performance was bolstered by a weakening U.S. dollar, which added approximately 2.5% to quarterly revenue growth. Key risks include geopolitical instability in the Middle East, AI-related regulatory and reputational threats, and the challenge of matching talent skills with evolving demand. Operationally, Accenture managed a workforce of 799,000 with voluntary attrition decreasing to 14%. The company recorded $308 million in business optimization costs for employee severance during fiscal 2026. Liquidity remains strong with $10.2 billion in cash and $2.2 billion returned to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. |
| Mar 19, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Accenture reported solid second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with revenues reaching $18.0 billion, an 8% increase in U.S. dollars and 4% in local currency. New bookings totaled $22.1 billion, up 1% in local currency, with consulting bookings growing while managed services bookings experienced a slight local currency decline. Operating margin improved to 13.8% from 13.5%, and diluted earnings per share rose 4% to $2.93. Revenue growth was particularly strong in Asia Pacific and in the Communications, Media & Technology and Financial Services industry groups. Managed Services revenue growth outpaced Consulting, though both saw increases. Clients continue to prioritize large-scale transformations, including AI-readiness, despite a slower pace of spending on smaller, shorter-duration consulting contracts. Gross margin expanded due to lower non-payroll costs, particularly subcontractor expenses. The company incurred $308 million in business optimization costs, primarily for employee severance, which impacted operating margin and EPS for the six-month period. Operating cash flow increased significantly due to improved collections, while cash used in investing activities rose due to higher business acquisitions. Accenture returned $2.7 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and plans continued significant share repurchases. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted U.S. dollar reported revenues. The workforce decreased to 786,000, with utilization improving to 93%. |
