New in FY2025

  • Our operating results have fluctuated and will likely fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, including: • global macroeconomic conditions, including: economic slowdowns or recessions, consumer demand, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, inflation and supply chain disruptions; public health crises, political or social unrest, and military conflicts, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and tensions between India and Pakistan, and their impact on the global economy; tariffs and international trade negotiations, such as between the U.S. and China, between China and India; a U.S. federal government shutdown or budget disruptions; and market volatility, including as a result of political leadership in certain countries; • the level of business activity of our clients, which in turn is affected by the level of economic activity in the industries and markets that they serve and the market acceptance and performance of their products and services; • the demand for the end-to-end solutions, technology, and services we provide, as well as other competitive conditions in our industry; and • the impact of the business acquisitions and dispositions we make, as well as consolidation of our competitors or clients.
  • Although we attempt to control our expenses, they are based, in part, on anticipated revenue and client demand forecasts.
  • The reliability of client forecasts is critical to managing our utilization and aligning our expenses with anticipated revenue to achieve our profitability targets.
  • We can provide no assurance that our clients will provide us with reliable demand forecasts or that we will be able to effectively manage our utilization.
  • Further, we may be unable to reduce spending in a timely manner to compensate for an unexpected decrease in revenue.
  • Internal or external attacks on our networks and systems or those of our clients, partners, or vendors, including through phishing, password attacks, ransomware, malware, or the increased use of emerging AI technologies, could significantly disrupt our operations and impede our ability to provide critical solutions and services to our clients and their customers, subjecting us to liability under our contracts and damaging our reputation.
  • Cybercriminals and other threat actors, including those supported by nation states, political activists, and organized crime, are well organized and increasingly sophisticated, and we expect they will continue to seek out and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in our and our clients’ networks and systems.
  • If we fail to implement or adhere to effective internal controls and other processes, technology, and training to protect our networks and systems and the information that we store, our clients experience disruptions in their systems or operations, or the confidentiality of data is compromised by a malicious actor, our client relationships may suffer, and we may face negative publicity, significant remediation costs, and possible legal or regulatory action.
  • When our staff or contractors fail to adhere to our and our clients’ controls and processes, we may be subject to financial liability or our client relationships or reputation may suffer.
  • Although we believe our controls are effective and we require all staff to be trained in cybersecurity, fraud awareness, and their responsibilities under our Code of Ethical Business Conduct, with a team of approximately 455,000, we cannot prevent all misconduct.
  • In the past, we have experienced, and in the future, we may again experience, data security incidents resulting from unauthorized access to our and our service providers’ systems and unauthorized acquisition of our data and our clients’ data.
  • General global economic downturns and macroeconomic trends, including heightened inflation, tariffs, capital market volatility, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, and an economic slowdown or recession, may result in unfavorable conditions that could negatively affect our clients’ businesses, and, as a result, impact demand for our products and services and our potential for growth.
  • Outbreaks of communicable diseases may negatively affect our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame.
  • We also have substantial operations in countries, most notably the Philippines, India, Egypt, Brazil, Türkiye, Colombia, and Malaysia that have experienced severe natural events, such as typhoons, mudslides, droughts, wildfires, earthquakes, and floods, in the recent past.
  • Uncertainty around, and disruption from, new and emerging technologies, including the increased adoption and utilization of GenAI and agentic AI, may result in risks and challenges that could impact our business.
  • We have and will continue to utilize new and emerging technologies, including AI, GenAI, and agentic AI, in our solutions and services.
  • As with many innovations, AI technologies and solutions present risks and challenges that could significantly disrupt our business model.
  • AI algorithms, training methodologies, or datasets may be flawed or contain insufficient, biased, or inaccurate information.
  • As these technologies evolve, some lower complexity services currently performed by our game-changers have been and may continue to be replaced by tools deployed by clients.
  • If we do not execute our technology strategy effectively, this could result in loss of revenue and reduced margins.
  • The rapid evolution of AI technologies requires us to expend resources to develop, test, and implement solutions that utilize AI, agentic AI, and GenAI effectively, which has and may continue to lead us to incur significant expense to maintain a competitive advantage within the industry.
  • We will also be required to attract, motivate, and retain top professionals with the skills necessary to execute our strategy relating to AI technologies and solutions and other emerging technologies.
  • If we do not employ new technologies, including agentic AI and GenAI, as quickly or efficiently as our competitors, if our competitors develop more cost-effective or client-preferred technologies, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to win and retain business from clients, which would adversely affect our business.
  • As we expand our services, products, and solutions into new areas, we may be exposed to operational, legal, regulatory, ethical, and other risks specific to such new areas, which may negatively affect our reputation and demand for our services and solutions.
  • The regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is evolving, and the ways in which these technologies will be regulated by governmental authorities, self-regulatory institutions, or other regulatory authorities remain uncertain and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
  • Several jurisdictions in which we operate are considering or have proposed or enacted legislation and policies regulating AI and non-personal data, such as the European Union’s AI Act, the U.S.’s Executive Order on AI, and California’s Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act.
  • Our operations are based on a global delivery model with client services provided from delivery centers in 74 countries, with a significant concentration of our workforce located in the Philippines, India, Egypt, Brazil, Türkiye, Colombia, Malaysia, China, South Africa, Morocco, and the United Kingdom.
  • Operating globally subjects us to risks in the countries in which we do business, which include political and economic instability, armed conflicts, domestic or foreign terrorism, foreign currency volatility, the time and expense required to comply with different laws and regulations, challenges with hiring and retaining adequate staff, inflation, tariffs, longer payment cycles or difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, and seasonal reductions in business activity.
  • Socio-economic situations that are specific to the Philippines, India, Egypt, Brazil, Türkiye, Colombia, Malaysia, China, South Africa, Morocco, and the United Kingdom can severely disrupt our operations and impact our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations to our clients.
  • We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which we operate are breadth and depth of process and domain expertise, service quality, ability to tailor specific solutions to the needs of clients and their customers, the ability to attract, train, and retain qualified staff, cybersecurity infrastructure, compliance rigor, global delivery capabilities, pricing, partnerships, and marketing and sales capabilities.
  • Some emerging technologies, including AI, GenAI, RPA, ML, VOC, IVR, and IoT, may cause an adverse shift in the way certain of our existing business operations are conducted, including by replacing or supplementing human contacts with automated or self-service options, changing client expectations on pricing and pricing models, or by decreasing the size of the available market.
  • The inability to successfully execute our strategy and deliver value for our clients could harm our client relationships and reputation, which in turn could adversely affect our revenue and our results of operations.
  • If we are unable to successfully deliver a differentiated combination of solutions, products, and services to our clients, or our solutions do not achieve the desired outcomes, our client relationships and reputation may suffer, which could result in a loss of business with existing clients and hinder our ability to engage new clients.
  • In addition, our clients may not guarantee a minimum volume or be able to provide us with realistic forecasts; generally, we hire staff based on anticipated volumes.
  • The reliability of client forecasts and anticipating client demand is critical to managing our utilization and we can provide no assurance we will be able to anticipate client demand or effectively manage our utilization.
  • A reduction of volumes and margins, loss of clients, payment of penalties, failure to receive performance-related bonuses, or inability to terminate any unprofitable contracts could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Our five largest clients collectively represented approximately 19% of our revenue in fiscal year 2025.
  • For example, approximately 19% of our accounts receivable balance as of November 30, 2025 was attributable to five clients.
  • These third parties can damage our reputation or cause financial loss through cybersecurity or data privacy breaches, inadequate information technology infrastructure, insufficient or defective updates to software, non-conformance to servicing standards or our Supplier Code of Conduct, or financial distress that disrupts business operations.
  • Our business is subject to many laws and regulatory requirements in the United States and the other countries and jurisdictions in which we operate, covering matters that include but are not limited to: data privacy; labor matters, including immigration and equal employment opportunity (“EEO”) compliance; anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws; taxation; securities and insider trading; the use of AI; healthcare, including HIPAA compliance; banking; outsourcing; consumer protection, including the method and timing of placing outbound telephone calls and the recording or monitoring of telephone calls; collections activities; insurance claims administration; gaming licensing; money transmission; internal and disclosure control obligations; governmental affairs; and trade restrictions, sanctions and tariffs.
