Outlook for the remainder of the 2025/26 fiscal year
The beginning of Q4 2025/26 confirms the gradual improvement of the firm's business activity, despite the usual slowdown of the utilization rate at the beginning of the calendar year. Therefore, Q4 should show another positive organic growth, potentially moderated by the continued decrease in subcontracting revenue.
The sectorial trends remain consistent with those observed over the last months of the 2025 calendar year.
AI-related projects continue to show sustained momentum. Wavestone confirms aiming for a strong growth of its AI activity in 2025/26, which will represent at least 14% of its total revenue, compared with 8% in the previous fiscal year.
Confirmation of the 2025/26 financial objectives
Wavestone confirms its objective of generating a positive organic growth in 2025/26.
In terms of profitability, the firm targets an annual recurring operating margin around 13%.
These objectives are calculated on a constant forex basis and exclude any new acquisitions.

| Appendix: alternative performance measure |
Recurring Operating Profit (ROP) is an alternative performance measure obtained by deducting from revenue the operational expenses related to current activities, including share-based payments to employees. Amortization of customer relationships is not deducted from ROP, nor are non-recurring income and expenses. The latter includes, in particular, income or expenses related to business acquisitions or divestitures, as well as income or costs associated with unoccupied premises.
Recurring operating margin is obtained by dividing ROP by revenue.
