TTEC Holdings, Inc. Q1 FY26 Results

While our performance this quarter was impacted by timing shifts across the business, our commitment to our annual plan is steadfast. Our momentum moving into the balance of the year with recent exciting new client wins and embedded base growth in our diversified portfolio, gives us confidence that we are on our way to achieving our full year objectives. Market demand for our AI expertise is accelerating. Enterprise brands are looking for partners who can bridge the gap between high-level AI strategy and practical, large-scale CX technology and services execution. Our ability to design, build, and operate secure and scalable solutions provides a distinct competitive advantage that is translating into new contract wins and a growing pipeline. While we have more work to do to achieve our historic growth and margin profile, we have the right strategies and teams in place to deliver on our full year commitments, and lead in this rapidly evolving customer experience market.

Our first quarter financial results were slightly below expectations across both segments, primarily due to timing factors. In TTEC Digital, we signed significant new professional services engagements with a large portion phased late in the quarter, impacting near-term revenue and profitability. With this sales momentum and a growing pipeline, we are confident we will deliver meaningful growth in our diversified practices throughout the remainder of the year. In TTEC Engage, we continue to focus on profit optimization through the rationalization of certain underperforming clients, infusing AI-technology into business process enhancements, and growing our offshore revenue mix. These initiatives are anticipated to deliver profitability improvements throughout the remainder of the year. Our confidence in the business segments remains unchanged and we are re-affirming our full year guidance.
