Q4 2025 Globant SA Earnings Call

February 26, 2026

Martin Migoya: AI Studios. That is why we believe Globant is the AI-native technology solutions company. The partner enterprises are choosing to close the gap between AI investment and AI impact. We launched our AI Pods 9 months ago, and it is already proving real success with our customers. In 2025, we achieved both our highest revenue and strongest free cash flow generation ever, while simultaneously restructuring our delivery organization and transforming our delivery model. In Q4, we produced the highest quarterly bookings of the year, up 32.4% year-over-year. Our pipeline remains robust at $3.4 billion. I want to use this call to walk you through our results, our strategy, and the specific metrics that demonstrate why we are convinced about the path ahead. The IT professional services industry faces a structural shift.

Speaker #1: AI Studios, and that is why we believe Globant is the AI-native technology solutions company. The partner enterprises are choosing to close the gap between AI investment and AI impact.

Speaker #1: We launched our AI Pods nine months ago, and it is already proving real success with our customers. In 2025, we achieved both our highest revenue and strongest free cash flow generation ever, while simultaneously restructuring our delivery organization and transforming our delivery model.

Speaker #1: In Q4, we produced the highest quarterly bookings of the year, up 32.4% year over year. Our pipeline remains robust at 3.4 billion dollars. I want to use this call to walk you through our results, our strategy, and the specific metrics that demonstrate why we are convinced about the path ahead.

Speaker #1: The IT professional services industry faces a structural shift. Technology capital is flowing overwhelmingly toward AI infrastructure. With Gartner projecting IT services to grow just 4.4% in 2026, less than half the rate of overall IT spending.

Martin Migoya: Technology capital is flowing overwhelmingly toward AI infrastructure, with Gartner projecting IT services to grow just 4.4% in 2026, less than half the rate of overall IT spending. However, the Big Four hyperscalers are approaching $700 billion in combined 2026 CapEx, nearly triple the level of just two years ago. The scale of that investment is extraordinary, but it also created a massive implementation gap. In 2025, MIT research showed that most enterprise AI pilots did not deliver measurable P&L impact yet, and a significant number of companies paused or restructured their AI initiatives during last year. Meanwhile, technical debt across the Forbes Global 2000 stands at $1.5 to 2 trillion, according to HFS Research. Forrester reports US customer experience quality at an all-time low after four consecutive years of decline.

Speaker #1: And Forrester reports U.S. customer experience quality at an all-time low, after four consecutive years of decline. What this tells us is not that AI is failing; it is that the industry is entering its execution phase.

Martin Migoya: What this tells us is not that AI is failing, it is that the industry is entering its execution phase. After an 18-month cycle of experimentation, enterprises now understand what AI can do for their business and are actively seeking the capability to implement it at scale. This shift from exploration to execution is currently driving our record bookings. We are living through a generational transition. Think about what happened when AWS launched. It did not just offer cheaper servers, it gave birth to an entirely new industry. Cloud-native companies, modern SaaS, the entire startup ecosystem of the last 15 years, none of that existed before AWS made elastic, accessible infrastructure possible. That is the moment we are at now in technology services. AI-native delivery, intelligent agents supervised by domain experts operating on a token subscription model is not a better way to do what we already do.

Speaker #1: It is the foundation of an industry that does not yet fully exist, Globant has been the first to define what AI-native technology services look like, and 2026 is the year the market begins to validate that bet.

Martin Migoya: It is the foundation of an industry that does not yet fully exist. Globant has been the first to define what AI-native technology services look like. 2026 is the year the market begins to validate that bet. Our core business, deep software engineering, digital transformation, and domain expertise built over 2 decades is not going anywhere. Enterprises will continue to need that capability for many years to come. We will continue to grow it. What we are doing now is adding a new and powerful layer on top of that foundation, an AI-native offering that scales with the AI opportunity itself. For years, a company's digital products were its moat. Building differentiated software required hundreds of top engineers and hundreds of millions of dollars. AI has made it faster and more accessible to build. That is actually a demand accelerant for the entire industry.

Speaker #1: What we are doing now is adding a new and powerful layer on top of that that scales with the AI opportunity itself. For years, a company's digital products were its moat, building differentiated software required hundreds of top engineers and hundreds of millions of dollars.

Speaker #1: AI has made it faster, and more accessible to build. And that is actually a demand accelerant for the entire industry. When every company can build software more efficiently, differentiation no longer comes from whether you can build; it comes from how much you build, how fast you iterate, and how continuously you evolve.

Martin Migoya: When every company can build software more efficiently, differentiation no longer comes from whether you can build. It comes from how much you build, how fast you iterate, and how continuously you evolve. We are entering an era of dramatically more software creation and dramatically faster competitive cycles. Our deep engineering expertise and two decades of domain knowledge, now supercharged by AI, position us perfectly to meet that demand. Against that backdrop, we see four clear and growing avenues of demand. First, agentic workflow orchestration. Enterprises need autonomous AI agents coordinated across complex systems. Not point solutions, but end-to-end workflows that actually move business processes forward. Second, core modernization at AI speed. The Global 2,000 carries $1.5 to 2 trillion in accumulated technical debt, a massive anchor on innovation.

Martin Migoya: AI-native delivery allows us to attack this backlog at a pace previously thought impossible, enabling the enterprise agility our clients need to compete and win. Third, custom software reclaiming ground from SaaS. For years, SaaS was the default answer for enterprise software needs. AI-native delivery is now expanding the range of what enterprises can build economically, making highly personalized software viable for use cases that were previously only practical with off-the-shelf platforms. This is not about replacing SaaS. It is about enterprises having more options, more control over their data, their workflows, and their competitive differentiation. SaaS and custom software are increasingly complementary, and we are uniquely positioned to deliver both. Fourth, AI governance and corporate sovereignty. As enterprises deploy agents from multiple vendors across departments, data scatters and control erodes. They need a trusted orchestration partner to govern it all and keep every interaction under their control.

Speaker #1: Fourth, AI governance and corporate sovereignty. As enterprises deploy agents from multiple vendors across departments, data scatters, and control erodes. They need a trusted orchestration partner to govern it all and keep every interaction under their control.

Speaker #1: Our partnerships with NVIDIA, OpenAI, AWS, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and others are central to this strategy. We are the AI-native orchestration layer that makes it work for our clients.

Martin Migoya: Our partnerships with NVIDIA, OpenAI, AWS, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and others are central to this strategy. We are the AI-native orchestration layer that makes it work for our clients. Our AI Pods are AI-powered service units specialized by task and industry. AI Pod Software creates and evolves technology. AI agent workflows supervised by Globant experts produce working software artifacts on a token subscription model. AI Pod Ops automates business processes in production, with institutional knowledge compounding with every token consumed. The customer owns everything. No seats, only usage. Unlike traditional models, our AI Pods operate on a subscription-based capacity model. Clients subscribe to a dedicated tier of orchestrated output with a defined token consumption cap. The delivery engine powering both is Globant Enterprise AI, our proprietary platform with four interconnected hubs. The Enterprise Hub connecting securely to all corporate systems.

Speaker #1: The enterprise hub connecting securely to all corporate systems. The AI hub routing intelligently across 140+ LLMs while preserving full data sovereignty. The agent hub, where we build and publish industry-specific agents, encoding 20 years of domain expertise.

Martin Migoya: The AI Hub routing intelligently across 140-plus LLMs while preserving full data sovereignty. The Agent Hub, where we build and publish industry-specific agents encoding 20 years of domain expertise. The AI Pods Hub, where clients subscribe and scale. What I want to be explicit about is that this platform did not appear overnight. We have been investing in Globant Enterprise AI for years, building real product, real orchestration infrastructure, real security, and compliance architecture. That investment is embedded in our operating expenses and reflected in our current EBIT margin. In other words, the margin profile you see today already carries the cost of building a proprietary AI platform. 12 months ago, AI Pods revenue was 0.

Speaker #1: And the AI Pods Hub, where clients subscribe and scale. What I want to be explicit about is that this platform did not appear overnight.

Speaker #1: In other words, the margin profile you see today already carries the cost of building a proprietary AI platform. 12 months ago, AI pods revenue was 0.

Speaker #1: In 2025, we have reached an exit rate ARR of $20.6 million. With gross margins between 45% and 60%, compared to our blended gross margin of 38%.

Martin Migoya: In 2025, we have reached an exit rate ARR of $20.6 million, with gross margins between 45% and 60% compared to our blended gross margin of 38%. This is not an experiment. This is a business. For 2026, we are targeting between $60 and $100 million in AI Pods exit rate ARR. On top of that, we expect that margin profile to improve further as the subscription model scales and the cost per token continues to decline. This represents a fundamental shift in our structural profitability DNA. As AI Pods scale as a share of revenue, they are expected to expand our overall margin profile. Our AI Pods pipeline reached $283 million in Q4, up 34% over Q3, and now represents 8% of the total pipeline versus just 3% in Q2.

Speaker #1: This is not an experiment; this is a business. For 2026, we are targeting between 60 and 100 million dollars in AI pods exit rate ARR.

Speaker #1: On top of that, we expect that margin profile to improve further as the subscription model scales and the cost per token continues to decline.

Speaker #1: Our AI pods pipeline reached 283 million dollars in Q4. Up 34% over Q3. And now represents 8% of the total pipeline, versus just 3% in Q2.

Speaker #1: Over 60 AI pods operate across clients globally, with 24 new subscription offerings closed last quarter alone. Several of our top 10 clients have completed rigorous security and procurement approvals and are actively running AI pods on the platform today.

Martin Migoya: Over 60 AI Pods operate across clients globally, with 24 new subscription offerings closed last quarter alone. Several of our top 10 clients have completed rigorous security and procurement approvals and are actively running AI Pods on the platform today. The pipeline is converting, the revenue is flowing, and we are just getting started. Based on the record bookings we are reporting today, the accelerating AI Pods adoption across our client base, and the improving pipeline conversion trends, we have a clear line of sight to returning to positive year-over-year organic revenue growth by mid-2026. This is not a hope. It is supported by the bookings we have already signed and the pipeline that is converting. Our 100 squared accounts drove 73% of total bookings this quarter, a clear reflection of the market shift toward high-value, long-term transformations.

Speaker #1: A clear reflection of the market's shift toward high value, long-term transformations. Underlying these record bookings is our reorganization around AI studios by industry. The record bookings we are reporting today are a direct reflection of that organizational transformation we did last year.

Martin Migoya: Underlying these record bookings is our reorganization around AI Studios by industry. The record bookings we are reporting today are a direct reflection of that organizational transformation we did last year. Several of our top clients have already moved past the pilot phase and are scaling AI Pods across their entire operations. Let me share a few examples. We are working with EmployBridge, an Apollo-backed portfolio company driving AI-led transformation through our AI Pod subscription model. After a successful pilot phase, EmployBridge decided for AI Pods as their core operating layer, accelerating delivery and driving rapid adoption across the business. We are also working with Banco Galicia, one of Latin America's most prominent banks. After the pilot phase with our AI Pods, they performed an assessment to gauge the efficiency of the model among other vendors and similar teams.

Speaker #1: Our AI pods ranked first in nearly every criterion, leading the institution to move to the decision to move to a scaled phase with YPF, Argentina's century-old state oil company.

Martin Migoya: Our AI Pods ranked first in nearly every criterion, leading the institution to the decision to move to a scaled phase. With YPF, Argentina's century-old state oil company, with our human-supervised AI agents, we created a resource orchestration platform to help YPF better coordinate their complex supply chain, reaching over 5,000 providers. Our solution has already helped them reduce the requirement to contract process cycle by 30% to 40%, as well as boost the productivity of their supply buyers by up to 50%. Through the use of AI on Globant's orchestrated platform, we are helping them with inventory optimization, enabling YPF's managers to obtain the best possible products for the task at hand before ordering new inventory.

Following Martin perspective for the industry, we keep on firmly executing on our own reinvention and those of our clients, listening to customers, helping them understand their gaps, and curating tailored solutions that create real business value. This goes beyond cost savings and efficiencies and into strategic areas such as increasing market share or improving customer satisfaction. To do this, Globant has overhauled our delivery model to ensure that the quality of our delivery is both technology-focused and client-centric. The teams that previously executed under the delivery and operational areas have now been brought under the technology umbrella. This way, our teams operate without siloed priorities and have more cohesion between offering solution quality and delivering results on time. The result has been tech-powered solutions for our clients that have a stronger operational backing.

Speaker #1: Hello, and good afternoon, everyone. I am pleased to discuss our fourth-quarter results. We are encouraged by the stabilization of our top-line performance and a shift toward more optimistic client sentiment.

Juan Urthiague: Hello, and good afternoon, everyone. I am pleased to discuss our Q4 results. We are encouraged by the stabilization of our top-line performance and a shift toward more optimistic client sentiment, which represents a meaningful improvement over the conversations we were having nine months ago. We closed the year with a solid quarter in terms of operational discipline, with revenues, operating margin, and free cash flow metrics above our initial estimates. In Q4, our revenue stood at $612.5 million, coming in above our guidance of $605 million. This represents a 4.7% year-over-year decline, including a positive FX tailwind of 180 basis points. Let's turn to profitability. Our adjusted gross profit margin for the quarter was 37.6%.

Speaker #1: Which represents a meaningful improvement over the conversations we were having nine months ago. We closed the year with a solid quarter in terms of operational discipline, with revenues operating margin and free cash flow metrics above our initial estimates.

Speaker #1: In the fourth quarter, our revenue stood at $612.5 million, coming in above our guidance of $605 million. This represents a 4.7% year-over-year decline, including a positive FX tailwind of 180 basis points.

Speaker #1: Now, let's turn to profitability. Our adjusted gross profit margin for the quarter was 37.6%, gross margins were slightly impacted by the USD weakness relative to LATAM currencies, and to a lesser extent by statutory cost increases in two of our main delivery centers, Colombia and India.

Juan Urthiague: Gross margins were slightly impacted by the USD weakness relative to LATAM currencies and, to a lesser extent, by statutory cost increases in two of our main delivery centers, Colombia and India. However, our adjusted operating margin remained at 15.5% for the quarter, flat sequentially. We successfully optimized our delivery pyramid and tightly managed our SG&A, allowing us to protect the bottom line while we work on accelerating our growth. The effective tax rate for the quarter stood at 23.5%, and our adjusted net income for the quarter was $68.9 million, representing an adjusted net income margin of 11.3%. Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.54, consistent with our profitability targets. I am particularly proud of our cash generation mechanics this quarter.

Speaker #1: The effective tax rate for the quarter stood at 23.5%, and our adjusted net income for the quarter was $68.9 million. Representing an adjusted net income margin of 11.3%.

Speaker #1: Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.54, consistent with our profitability targets. I am particularly proud of our cash generation mechanics this quarter. During the fourth quarter, we generated $152.8 million of free cash flow, marking the highest quarterly figure in our company's history, and achieving a free cash flow to adjusted net income ratio of $221.6% for the fourth quarter, or $355.3% on an IFRS basis.

Juan Urthiague: During Q4, we generated $152.8 million of free cash flow, marking the highest quarterly figure in our company's history and achieving a free cash flow to adjusted net income ratio of 221.6% for Q4 or 355.3% on an IFRS basis. On a full year basis, free cash flow reached a record $211.7 million translating to 76.6% of adjusted net income and 203.6% on an IFRS basis. During Q4, we invested $50 million to repurchase shares as per the plan announced in October 2025. We plan to continue executing on the share repurchase program.

Speaker #1: On a full-year basis, free cash flow reached a record $211.7 million, translating to $76.6% of adjusted net income and $203.6% on an IFRS basis.

Speaker #1: During the fourth quarter, we invested $50 million to repurchase shares, as per the plan announced in October 2025. We plan to continue executing on the share repurchase program.

Speaker #1: A significant improvement in our day sales outstanding, combined with working capital and CapEx efficiencies, helped drive an improvement in our liquidity. We ended the year with $250.3 million in cash and short-term investments, an increase of nearly 83.3 million sequentially.

Juan Urthiague: A significant improvement in our day sales outstanding, combined with working capital and CapEx efficiencies, helped drive an improvement in our liquidity. We ended the year with $250.3 million in cash and short-term investments, an increase of nearly $83.3 million sequentially. With a modest total net debt position of $116.4 million, our balance sheet remains strong, providing us with the flexibility to continue our disciplined capital allocation strategy, including our share repurchase program. Now, let's move to our outlook. Let's start with our 2026 full year guidance.

Speaker #1: With a modest total net debt position of $116.4 million, our balance sheet remains strong, providing us with the flexibility to continue our disciplined capital allocation strategy including our share repurchase program.

Speaker #1: Now, let's move to our outlook. Let's start with our 2026 full-year guidance. Based on current market conditions, we are providing a revenue range of $2 billion, $460 million, to $2 billion, $510 million, implying 0.2% to 2.2% year-over-year revenue growth, with approximately $100 basis points of FX tailwind.

Juan Urthiague: Based on current market conditions, we are providing a revenue range of $2.46 billion to $2.51 billion implying 0.2% to 2.2% year-over-year revenue growth with approximately 100 basis points of FX tailwind. We have set the lower end of our range as a prudent baseline. The upper end reflects the conversion trends we are already seeing in our pipeline and the accelerating adoption of AI Pods across our client base. In terms of profitability, we are expecting an adjusted operating margin to be between 14% and 15%. This range includes the impacts of USD weakness and statutory cost increases in Colombia and India. We view the lower end as a stress test scenario as it assumes a further appreciation of local currencies beyond today's spot rates.

Speaker #1: We have set the lower end of our range as a prudent baseline, the upper end reflects the conversion trends we are already seeing in our pipeline and the accelerating adoption of AI pods across our client base.

Speaker #1: In terms of profitability, we are expecting an adjusted operating margin to be between 14% and 15%. This range includes the impacts of USD weakness and statutory cost increases in Colombia and India.

Speaker #1: We view the lower end as a stress test scenario as it assumes a further appreciation of local currencies beyond today's spot rates. The upper end contemplates a more positive currency environment, and the benefits of our ongoing efforts in SG&A dilution and increased utilization.

Juan Urthiague: The upper end contemplates a more positive currency environment and the benefits of our ongoing efforts in SG&A dilution and increased utilization. We continue to prioritize our operational discipline to offset these headwinds and drive toward the higher end of our margin target. The 2026 IFRS effective income tax rate is expected to be in the 21% to 23% range. Finally, we are guiding an adjusted diluted EPS of $6.10 to $6.50, assuming an average of 44.2 million diluted shares. The lower end incorporates the conservative margin assumptions I mentioned earlier, specifically the potential for continued USD weakness. At the same time, the upper end reflects the operating leverage we expect as we scale.

Speaker #1: We continue to prioritize our operational discipline to offset these headwinds and drive toward the higher end of our margin target. The 2026 IFRS effective income tax rate is expected to be in the 21% to 23% range.

Speaker #1: Finally, we are guiding an adjusted diluted EPS of $6.10 to $6.50, assuming an average of 44.2 million diluted shares. The lower end incorporates the conservative margin assumptions I mentioned earlier, specifically the potential for continued USD weakness.

Speaker #1: At the same time, the upper end reflects the operating leverage we expect as we scale. For Q1 2026, we expect revenues in the range of $598 million, to $604 million.

Juan Urthiague: For Q1 2026, we expect revenues in the range of $598 million to $604 million. This is an improvement relative to prior years, where the Q1 decline was more significant. The Q1 year-over-year guidance implies, at the midpoint, a 300 basis points improvement relative to the Q4 year-over-year performance. For Q1, we expect our adjusted operating margins to be between 14% and 15%. Gross margins will be slightly impacted by the weakness of the USD, plus certain statutory cost increases in Colombia and India, as mentioned before. The IFRS effective income tax rate is expected to be in the 22% to 24% range, and adjusted diluted EPS for the first quarter is expected to be between $1.44 to $1.54, assuming an average of 43.7 million diluted shares.

Speaker #1: This is an improvement relative to prior years. Where the Q1 decline was more significant. The Q1 midpoint a $300 basis points improvement relative to the Q4 year-over-year performance.

Speaker #1: For Q1, we expect our adjusted operating margins to be between 14 and 15%. Gross margins will be slightly impacted by the weakness of the USD, plus certain statutory cost increases in Colombia and India as mentioned before.

Speaker #1: The IFRS effective income tax rate is expected to be in the 22% to 24% range, and adjusted diluted EPS for the first quarter is expected to be between $1.44 and $1.54, assuming an average of 43.7 million diluted shares.

Speaker #1: To conclude, 2025 was a year of consolidation and evolution. We have diversified our revenue streams, shifted our go-to-market, streamlined our operations, and strengthened our financial foundation.

Juan Urthiague: To conclude, 2025 was a year of consolidation and evolution. We have diversified our revenue streams, shifted our go-to-market, streamlined our operations, and strengthened our financial foundation. We enter 2026 with a healthy pipeline, a more efficient delivery model which embeds AI in all our projects, and the financial strength to capture the opportunities ahead. Thank you for your continued support.

Speaker #1: We enter 2026 with a healthy pipeline, a more efficient delivery model which embeds AI in all our projects and the financial strength to capture the opportunities ahead.

Speaker #1: Thank you for your continued support.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Juan, and hi everyone. So as we go through the Q&A section of this call, I will first announce your name. At that point, please unmute your line and ask your question.

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Juan, and hi, everyone. As we go through the Q&A section of this call, I will first announce your name. At that point, please unmute your line and ask your question. I will also ask you to please limit your time to one question and one follow-up. With that in mind, we'll take the first question from the line of Bryan Bergin from TD Cowen. Bryan, your line is open. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Juan, and hi, everyone. As we go through the Q&A section of this call, I will first announce your name. At that point, please unmute your line and ask your question. I will also ask you to please limit your time to one question and one follow-up. With that in mind, we'll take the first question from the line of Bryan Bergin from TD Cowen. Bryan, your line is open. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: I will also ask you to please limit your time to one question and one follow-up. So with that in mind, we'll take the first question from the line of Brian Berging.

Speaker #2: From TD Cohen, Brian, your line is open. Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Hey guys, thank you. So two questions. I'll ask them both up front here. First, just a growth clarification for the year. On the upper end, I think you mentioned it assumes a solid pod demand trend that you've been seeing in Q4.

Bryan Bergin: Hey, guys. Thank you. 2 questions. I'll ask them both upfront here. First, just a growth clarification for the year on the upper end. I think, you know, you mentioned it assumes a solid pod demand trend that you've been seeing in Q4. Does it also require some level of macro or broader demand improvement versus it being like the same macro backdrop? My second question is on the pod model, on your GenAI solutions, when we think about, you know, the clients that are utilizing these pods, is it pieces of work, broader engagements? Can you kind of just talk about where it's being used specifically as well as then the net impact from like a transition from old to new, if you can kind of get us there.

Speaker #3: But does it also require some level of macro or broader demand improvement versus it being like the same macro backdrop? And then my second question is on the pod model, on your GenAI solutions, when we think about the clients that are utilizing these pods, is it pieces of work, broader engagements?

Speaker #3: Can you kind of just talk about where it's being used specifically, as well as then the net impact from a transition from old to new, if you can kind of get us there?

Speaker #4: Thank you, Brian. How are you? So for the first part of the question, the upper end of the guidance assumes that we will continue to perform very well with our pods.

Juan Urthiague: Thank you, Brian. How are you? As for the first part of the question, you know, the upper end of the guidance assumes that we will continue to, you know, perform very well with our pods, plus some improvement in the overall market. The midpoint is the most likely scenario as usual, where, you know, we see basically more or less more of the same. I mean, no big changes on the macro, no changes, no big changes on the business overall. That's how we build the guidance for the year in terms of range. As for the second part, I will let Satish here.

Juan Urthiague: Thank you, Bryan. How are you? As for the first part of the question, you know, the upper end of the guidance assumes that we will continue to, you know, perform very well with our pods, plus some improvement in the overall market. The midpoint is the most likely scenario as usual, where, you know, we see basically more or less more of the same. I mean, no big changes on the macro, no changes, no big changes on the business overall. That's how we build the guidance for the year in terms of range. As for the second part, I will let Satish here.

Speaker #4: Plus, some improvement in the overall market. The midpoint is the most likely scenario, as usual. Where we see basically more or less more of the same.

Speaker #4: I mean, no big changes on the macro, no changes, no big changes on the business overall. And that's how we build the guidance for the year in terms of revenues.

Speaker #4: As for the second part, I will let the team hear.

Speaker #2: Yeah, what we are seeing in 7 out of our top 10 customers is that people are loving it. And when I say loving it, it's that people are really looking to change the model from hours or other types of engagement into this kind of output model, in which, of course, we charge the tokens, but always there's a business result attached to those things.

Martin Migoya: Yeah. What we are seeing in our 7 out of our 10 top customers, we're seeing that people are loving it. When I say loving it's that people are really looking to change the model from hours or other types of engagement into this kind of output model in which of course we charge the tokens. But always there's a business result attached to those things. What is happening is sometimes we're transitioning that work from, you know, our full release kind of engagement to this new kind of engagement. In some of our customers, there are some small pilots that are, you know, starting to happen.

Speaker #2: So what is happening is that sometimes we're transitioning that work from our current kind of engagement to this new kind of engagement. In some of our customers, there are some small pilots that are starting to happen.

Speaker #2: In some others, we're going now from pilots into scale without any kind of asking in the middle because the results are really amazing. As I laid out on the examples I provided, so that is kind of changing the whole dynamic around the future of the company, right?

Martin Migoya: In some others, we're going now from pilots into scale, you know, without any kind of ask in the middle because the results are really amazing, as I laid out on the examples I provided. That is kind of changing the whole dynamic around the future of the company, right. Now we are able to not just scale our teams with new people, but now we can also, you know, be connected to everything that is happening on the AI space in a direct way. There's a new market that we are creating, which is called the AI native technology services company.

Speaker #2: Now we are able to not just scale our teams, with new people, but now we can also be connected to everything that is happening on the AI space in a direct way.

Speaker #2: There's a new market that we are creating which is called the AI native technology services companies. And those AI native technology services companies must find a way to deliver their services having agents that repeat certain processes that ensure that what is produced is enterprise class with the right security, with the right kind of characteristics for what they need to be produced.

Martin Migoya: Those AI-native technology services companies must find a way to deliver their services having agents that repeat certain processes that ensure that what is produced is enterprise-class with the right security, with the right kind of characteristics for what they need to be produced, and then humans supervising those assets that are being created. That transition is being, you know, twelve months ago, indeed nine months ago, this product didn't exist. Now we are in a situation that we have in 2025, more than $20 million in ARR. Now we are scaling big customers like the one I mentioned, like FIFA, like Santander, like LaLiga, like EmployBridge and many others. I feel that change is very healthy. It position us in a different place.

Speaker #2: And then humans supervising those assets that are being created. And that transition is being 12 months ago, indeed, nine months ago, this product didn't exist.

Speaker #2: And now we are in a situation that we have in 2025, more than 20 million dollars in ARR, and now we are scaling big customers like the one I mentioned, like FIFA, like Santander, like La Liga, like Employee Bridge.

Speaker #2: And many others. So I feel that change is very healthy. It positioned us in a different place. And of course, everything is mounted on top of what we already have, more than 800 relationships with top-notch corporations, 28,000 people that are ready to supervise all kind of products that we can produce with those agents.

Martin Migoya: Of course, everything is mounted on top of what we already have. More than 800 relationships with top-notch corporations. 28,000 people that are ready to supervise all kind of products that we can produce with those agents. The right technology platform to be able to deliver those services. A commercial model which is absolutely different from anything that we have seen before. The best thing is not just a prediction, but also a real business. We're extremely happy with that. I don't know if that answered your question.

Speaker #2: The right technology platform to be able to deliver those services. And a commercial model, which is absolutely different from anything that we have seen before.

Speaker #2: And the best thing is, it's not just a prediction, but also a real business. So we are extremely happy with that. I don't know if that answers your question.

Speaker #3: Well, I guess it partly did. The aspect I'm trying to get at is you mentioned certainly the gross margin is very high relative to what your historical is, right, in these pod structures.

Bryan Bergin: Well, I guess it partly did. The aspect I'm trying to get at is, you know, you mentioned certainly the gross margin is very high relative to what your historical is, right? In these pod structures. I'm trying to think about the revenue transition. If you start from scratch, great in an engagement, but if you start on a client that had an existing engagement, what is that revenue? Like you're getting more productive. Is there a netting impact there on the revenue?

Speaker #3: But I'm trying to think about the revenue transition. So if you start from scratch, great, in an engagement. But if you start on a client that had an existing engagement, what does that revenue like?

Speaker #3: You're getting more productive. Is there a netting impact there on the revenue?

Speaker #4: No, I'm absolutely happy with exchanging the revenue. I mean, we are kind of getting the teams that we had in that customer and transforming that into AI pods with a very different revenue proposition and a different revenue value proposition.

Martin Migoya: No, I'm absolutely happy with exchanging the revenue. I mean, we are kind of getting the teams that we had in that customer and transforming that into into AI bots with a very different revenue proposition and a different revenue value proposition. It's a transition that is happening slowly, but it's happening. Sometimes there are new customers, sometimes there are customers that are working with us on a fixed price that we are delivering now in this new way. That transition is starting to happen, and we expect that transition to gain momentum as the year progress.

Speaker #4: So it's a transition that is happening slowly, but it's happening. And sometimes there are new customers. Sometimes there are customers that are working with us on a fixed price that we are delivering now in this new way.

Speaker #4: So that transition is starting to happen, and we expect that transition to gain momentum as the year progresses. Yeah.

Speaker #5: And in certain customers, Brian, what you're going to get is that this additional productivity that we have can translate into helping them to reduce all the technical debt that you typically find in organizations.

Juan Urthiague: Yeah. And in certain customers, Bryan, what you're gonna get is that this additional productivity that we have can translate into helping them to reduce, you know, all the technical debt that is typically found in organizations. In other cases, you know, it may be in a specific project that you are able to maybe to price in a way that is more cost efficient. There's gonna be a lot of cases, right? But the common factor here is that a lot of the technical debt that many of our customers have, you know, now we can be more productive, and we can offer them to do basically part of that additional work with our AI bots as well.

Speaker #5: In other cases, it may be in a specific project that you are able to maybe to price in a way that is more cost-efficient.

Speaker #5: So there's going to be a lot of cases, right? But the common factor here is that a lot of the technical debt that many of our customers have now we can be more productive, and we can offer them to do basically part of that additional work with our AI pods as well.

Speaker #3: Right. Thank you, guys.

Bryan Bergin: Okay. Thank you, guys.

Speaker #2: Thank you.

Martin Migoya: Thank you.

Speaker #6: Thank you, Brian. The next question comes from the line of Maggie Nolan from William Blair. Maggie, please go ahead.

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Bryan. The next question comes from the line of Maggie Nolan from William Blair. Maggie, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Bryan. The next question comes from the line of Maggie Nolan from William Blair. Maggie, please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Hi. Thank you. I'm hoping that you can comment on your expectations for Latin America in 2026, just particularly given some of the recent uncertainty that's resurfaced related to tariffs.

Maggie Nolan: Hi. Thank you. I'm hoping that you could comment on your expectations for Latin America in 2026, just particularly given some of the recent uncertainty that's resurfaced related to tariffs?

Speaker #5: Sure. So Latin America, as we remember at the beginning of '25, we faced some issues. And the region for a few quarters was showing negative growth.

Juan Urthiague: Sure. You know, Latin America, as you remember at the beginning of 2025, we faced some issues and the region for a few quarters was showing negative growth. Towards the second half of the year, we started to recover, and we actually ended up in a very healthy manner, being Latin America the fastest region for the quarter. There are different, as you pointed out, you know, there are different situations in different countries. Argentina, and Chile, which are two of our main operations, are doing very well. Brazil, it's okay. You know, we are basically performing in line with our expectations. Now, of course, we need to see what's gonna happen in Mexico, which, you know, is a little bit of an unknown at this point.

Speaker #5: But then towards the second half of the year, we started to recover. And we actually ended up in a very healthy manner being Latin America the fastest region for the quarter.

Speaker #5: There are different, as you pointed out, there are difference situations in different countries. Argentina and Chile, which are two of our main operations, are doing very well.

Speaker #5: Brazil, it's okay. We are basically performing in line with our expectations. And now, of course, we need to see what's going to happen in Mexico is a little bit of an unknown at this point.

Speaker #5: But the main countries are performing well. I think that the recovery that we achieved in the second part of the year when we look at which are the customers driving that, most of them are in Argentina.

Juan Urthiague: The main countries are performing well. I think that the recovery that we achieved in the second part of the year when we look at which are the customers driving that, most of them are in Argentina. We don't see any headwind coming from Latin America.

Speaker #5: So we don't see we are not we don't see any headwind coming from Latin America.

Speaker #7: Okay, great. And then you sounded pretty optimistic about converting the pipeline as well. But I also caught in the prepared remarks that maybe you're expecting clients to look for larger scale or longer duration projects, which I would imagine would kind of change the pace of pipeline conversion.

Maggie Nolan: Okay, great. You sounded pretty optimistic about converting the pipeline as well, but I also caught in the prepared remarks that maybe you're expecting clients to look for larger scale or longer duration projects-

Juan Urthiague: Mm-hmm.

Maggie Nolan: which I would imagine would kind of change the pace of pipeline conversion. It would change the ramp up of revenue over time. Can you help us understand how that's reflected in the guidance and maybe if it's different from historic?

Speaker #7: It would change the ramp-up of revenue over time. So can you help us understand how that's reflected in the guidance and maybe if it's different from historic?

Speaker #2: Yeah, Maggie. So what we are seeing is shorter sales cycles in smaller deals. And the bigger deals still lagging just a little bit behind, slower than we would like to in terms of closing and ramping up.

Martin Migoya: Yeah, Maggie. What we are seeing is, you know, shorter sales cycles in smaller deals and the bigger deals still lagging just a little bit behind and slower than we would like to in terms of closing and ramping up. Leveraging the amazing quarter we've had, the amazing quarter we had Q4 and also Q3, we're expecting to start ramping up onboarding and converting to revenue very quickly in Q2 and in H2 even. You know, it's true that clients are cautious, are taking time to make decision when it comes to very large investments, but the robustness of the pipeline is still there. The quality of the deals is very solid.

Speaker #2: But leveraging the amazing quarter we've had in the amazing quarter we had Q4 and also Q3, we're expecting to start ramping up onboarding and converting to revenue very quickly in Q2 and in H2 even.

Speaker #2: So it's true that the clients are cautious. Are taking time to make decisions when it comes to very large investments. But the robustness of the pipeline is still there.

Speaker #2: The quality of the deals is very solid. The 100 square are performing very, very well. We're the vast majority of the bookings are coming from, like Martin said, 73% in Q4.

Martin Migoya: The 100 squared are performing very, very well, where the vast majority of the bookings are coming from, like Martin said, 73% in Q4. I'm pretty confident that, you know, this combination will allow us to, you know, to move forward in a very confident way.

Speaker #2: So I'm pretty confident that this combination will allow us to move forward in a very confident way.

Speaker #7: Thank you.

Bryan Keane: Thank you.

Maggie Nolan: Thank you.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Maggie.

Arvind Ramnani: Thank you, Maggie.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Maggie.

Speaker #6: Thank you, Maggie. The next question comes from the line of Puneet Jain from JPMorgan. Puneet, please go ahead.

Martin Migoya: Thank you, Maggie.

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Maggie. The next question comes from the line of Puneet Jain from JP Morgan. Puneet, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Maggie. The next question comes from the line of Puneet Jain from JPMorgan. Puneet, please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Hey, thanks for taking my question. So with all the news flow over the last one or two months around evolution of agentic AI, what does that mean for IT services spend, like Martin you mentioned that it's time for some of those AI investments to move into execution.

Puneet Jain: Hey, thanks for taking my question. With all the news flow over the last one or two months around evolution of agentic AI, what does that mean for IT services spend? Like, Martin, you mentioned that it's time for some of those AI investments to move into execution. Are you seeing, like, increased urgency among your clients to embrace agentic AI given, like, all the news flow over the last one or two months?

Speaker #5: Are you seeing increased urgency among your clients to embrace agentic AI given all the news flow over the last one or two months?

Speaker #4: Yeah. In the last few months, what we have seen is that companies are moving into action. In that space, the avenues are how can I accelerate my technical debt?

Martin Migoya: Yeah. In the last, in the last few months, what we have seen is that, you know, companies are moving into action in that space. The avenues are, how can I accelerate my technical depth? How can I replace some not very deep software as a service solutions? How can I automate my processes using AI? How can I replace with workflows of agentic AI processes that I had before? Of course, they must be supervised by humans. I believe those three avenues... The fourth avenue is that, how can I improve my customer experience? You know, that research really bummed me when I read it about the idea of consumer happiness. Yes.

Speaker #4: How can I replace some not very deep software as a service solutions? How can I automate my processes using AI? How can I replace with workflows of agentic AI processes that I had before?

Speaker #4: Of course, there must be supervised by humans. And I believe those three avenues and the four avenues is that how can I improve my customer experience?

Speaker #4: That research really bummed me when I read it. About the idea of consumer happiness, yes, consumer happiness about how interfaces and experiences are evolving is falling in the last four years in a row.

Martin Migoya: Consumer happiness about how interfaces and experiences are evolving is falling in the last four years in a row. There's a big technical depth of 1.5 to 2 trillion, but also there's a big consumer experience depth. Another avenue of demand is saying, how can I update all these interfaces to the next generation of interfaces? All these avenues are creating, like, a lot of demand for AI. I believe that the way to deliver those next generation services, those AI native services, must be absolutely different from what we did in the past. You know, imagine that we have each of these AI bots, Puneet, are like a recipe or like a set of instructions, like a process that we have been refining for years and years.

Speaker #4: So there's a big technical debt of 1.5 to 2 trillion. But also, there's a big consumer experience debt. So another avenue of demand is saying, "Okay, how can I update all these interfaces to the next generation of interfaces?" So all these avenues are creating a lot of demand for AI.

Speaker #4: I believe that the way to deliver those next generation services, those AI-native services, must be absolutely different from what we did in the past.

Speaker #4: And imagine that we have each of these AI bots Puneet are a recipe or a set of instructions, like a process that we have been refining for years and years.

Speaker #4: It has different steps to create enterprise-ready security-ready types of solutions and what we are producing using those tools is really much more scalable than before and really much faster than before.

Martin Migoya: It has different steps to create enterprise-ready, security-ready types of solutions. What we are producing using those tools is really, you know, much more scalable than before and really much faster than before. Customers are seeing that now. If you just threw AI tools to people, you don't get those results. That's why it's so important to stress the point that this new industry is the way to create, is a way to create the savings that you are expecting, or if you don't want savings, it's a way to create the productivity that you're expecting from these AI teams. That's why I believe that the AI bots are really catching up.

Speaker #4: So customers are seeing that now. If you just threw AI tools to people, you don't get those results. And that's why it's so important to stress the point that this new industry is the way to create is the way to create the savings that you are expecting or if you don't want savings, is the way to create the productivity that you are expecting from these AI teams.

Speaker #4: So that's why I believe that the AI bots are really catching up. It's a pretty simple way of understanding how to make those savings real, as opposed to just keep on throwing licenses of AI tools to people to use them.

Martin Migoya: It's a pretty simple way of understanding how to make those savings real as opposed to just keep on throwing licenses of AI tools to people to use them. I'm not really sure that they will use them in the correct way. Again, it's much more different to orchestrate and to supervise a set of agents producing software, and that's real productivity, than just throwing AI tools to people. It's an order of magnitude of difference between the two things. This is exactly what we are doing on our AI bots. Yeah, I'm seeing momentum, and that will keep on growing. That will keep on growing.

Speaker #4: I'm not really sure that they will use them in the correct way. And again, it's much more different to orchestrate and to supervise a set of agents producing software and that's real productivity than just throwing AI tools to people.

Speaker #4: It's an order things. And this is exactly what we are doing on our AI bots. So yeah, I'm seeing momentum and that will keep on growing.

Speaker #4: That will keep on growing.

Speaker #5: Okay. No, thanks for that. And then all this spending on AI, whether it's for code modernization, consumer experience, AI pods, do you think it will represent incremental spending on IT services or will this those budgets will stem from cutting elsewhere, other parts of discretionary spend?

Puneet Jain: Okay. No, no, thanks for that. Then, all the spending on AI, whether it's for core modernization, consumer experience, AI bots, do you think like it will represent like incremental spending on IT services? Will this, those budgets will stem from cutting elsewhere other parts of discretionary spend?

Speaker #4: No, look, I mean, I think humanity will create 100x more software than before. Period. And that is only expansionary for us. So I don't see that this will, "Oh, well, no, now we are happy with this small increment on the productivity and this small increment on the functionality of our product." You hear and you listen companies delivering much faster functionality than before live.

Martin Migoya: No, look, I mean, Humanity will create 100x more software than before, period. That is only expansionary for us. Well, now we are happy with this small increment on the productivity and this small increment on the functionality of our product. You hear and you listen, companies delivering much faster functionality than before live. I read many examples during the last few weeks. I believe that this is something that it will only keep on growing. The more you can do, the more you consume, that's a historical trend, right? In every single... If we can produce more software faster, we will use more software, we will expect more functionality, we will expect more, you know, customers to be happy.

Speaker #4: I read many examples during the last few weeks, so I believe that this is something that will only keep on growing. And the more you can do, the more you consume.

Speaker #4: And that's a historical trend, right? In every single so if we can produce more software faster, we will use more software. And we will expect more functionality.

Speaker #4: And we will expect more customers to be happy. So it's not a trend. I mean, sometimes what I see analysts and when I see reports and when I read through reports, I see that there's a kind of limited amount of scope.

Martin Migoya: It's not a trend. I mean, sometimes what I see, you know, analysts, and when I see reports and when I read through reports, I see that there's a kind of a limited amount of scope. What I'm trying to convey to you is that there's no limited amount of scope. Just the technical depth is another industry of our size. Just the technical depth, right? If you add on top of that the consumer experience depth, all the new There's no way that it will be the same amount of software as before. It will be 100x more software. That will be translated into better solutions with more platforms, with more AI bots, with a stronger pipeline. Well, all these things are building up.

Speaker #4: And what I'm trying to the message I'm trying to convey to you is that there's no limit amount there's no limited amount of scope.

Speaker #4: Just the technical debt is another industry of our size. Just the technical

Speaker #1: Depth , right ? If you add on top of that , the consumer experience step , all the new technology , there's no way that it will be the same amount of software as before It will be 100 x more software So that will be translated into better solutions with more platforms .

Speaker #1: With more AI pods , with stronger pipeline . Well , all these things are building up in my speech . What I said is for years we have received sorry for for almost 2 or 3 years now , the vast majority of the investments has gone into AI infrastructure that don't necessarily translate into demand .

Martin Migoya: In my speech, what I said is for years, we have received. Sorry, for almost 2 to 3 years now, the vast majority of the investments has gone into AI infrastructure that don't necessarily translate into demand on the professional service space. Before, that same investment were going into better cloud that was yielding better software as a service, more implementation services, but that cycle now needs to come back. That's why I made the point on the technical depth, on this consumer experience depth, because at some point, those things needs to catch up. Otherwise, the consumer experience index will keep on going down for years and years and years, and it doesn't make any sense. In the moment we can have the better and the best experience for our customers, we're having a decline customer satisfaction for interactions with companies. How can we explain that?

Speaker #1: On the professional service space Before that same investment , we're going into better cloud that was yielding better software as a service , more implementation services .

Speaker #1: But that cycle now needs to come back . And that's why I made the point on the technical debt on this consumer experience .

Speaker #1: Debt , because at some point , those things needs to catch up Otherwise , the consumer experience index will keep on going down for years and years and years and doesn't make any sense in the moment .

Speaker #1: We can have the better and the best experience for our customers We're having a decline Customer satisfaction for interactions with companies . How can we explain that So one way or another , companies have been distracted investing on AI , throwing AI to people .

Martin Migoya: One way or another, companies has been distracted investing on AI, throwing AI to people. Now is the time to make it to get it serious.

Speaker #1: Now is the time to make it to to to get it serious

Speaker #2: Thank you .

Juan Urthiague: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Impossible . More color my friend .

Martin Migoya: Impossible more color, my friend.

Speaker #3: Thank you Puneet . The next question comes from the line of Brian Keene from Citi . Brian , please go ahead .

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Puneet. The next question comes from the line of Bryan Keane from Citi. Bryan, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Puneet. The next question comes from the line of Bryan Keane from Citi. Bryan, please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Thank you . Thanks for taking the questions . I guess just thinking high level global has always been a double digit grower . Organic grower .

Bryan Keane: Thank you. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess just thinking high level, you know, Globant's always been a double-digit grower, organic grower, and this year was kind of a transition year. You know, grew 2% for the year and obviously down 5% for Q4. What can you point to, like, specifically happened this year that might not be recurring in years to come? Was it just certain client consolidation? Was it any AI pricing pressure that was priced into the model? Like, what exactly is the difference that happened this year that necessarily won't recur as we go forward?

Speaker #4: And this year was was kind of a transition year . You know , grew 2% for the year . And obviously down 5% for the fourth quarter .

Speaker #4: What can you point to specifically happened this year that might not be recurring in years to come ? Was it just certain client consolidation ?

Speaker #4: Was it any AI pricing pressure that was priced into the model ? Like what exactly is the difference that happened this year that necessarily won't recur as we go forward ?

Speaker #1: You mean this year , 2025 , right ?

Martin Migoya: You mean this year, 2025, right?

Speaker #4: Yes . 2025 versus . Yeah . Going forward

Bryan Keane: Yes. 2025 versus, yeah, going forward.

Speaker #2: Yeah .

Speaker #1: I think 2025 was a year of , you know , uncertainty in general . Companies retracted budgets in many cases . I think it was a year in which macro uncertainties were extremely hard to overcome for many of our customers .

Martin Migoya: Yeah. I think 2025 was a year of, you know, uncertainty in general. Companies retracted budgets in many cases. I think it was a year in which macro uncertainties were extremely hard to overcome for many of our customers, and we suffered that. I think that right now the situation is a little bit more clean in that aspect, so that increased my expectations of having a more normal year. That kind of compounding downwards on the revenue last year, we bottom on that revenue, and we expect to come back to growth in by the year-over-year, by the half of this year. The exit rate will come back to a pretty decent level of growth as we approach the end of this year.

Speaker #1: And we suffered that . I think that right now the situation is a little bit more clean in that aspect So that I that increased my expectations of having a more normal year , that kind of compounding downwards .

Speaker #1: On the revenue last year We we bottomed on that revenue and we expect to come back to growth in by the , by the year over year by the half of this year .

Speaker #1: So the exit rate will come back to a pretty decent level of growth as we approach the end of this year . So what you see on the year over year is kind of a okay , it was a year of accommodation restructuring , you know , customer uncertainty , so on and so forth .

Martin Migoya: What you see on the year-over-year is kind of a, okay, it was a year of reaccommodation, restructuring, you know, customer uncertainty, so on and so forth. The whole industry growing slower, which is kind of a killer. Now we're catching up, and we're starting to, you know, grow again. Towards the end of the year, the exit rate will be much healthier than what you are seeing now. A note on the year-over-year that you are seeing, this already represents something that is stationary, right? That has to do with the moment of the year. It represents a huge improvement from what we did last year at the same time. I don't know if you noticed that or Juan may clarify that.

Speaker #1: The whole industry growing slower , which is kind of a killer . And now we are catching up and we're starting to grow again .

Speaker #1: And towards the end of the year , the exit rate will be much healthier than what you are seeing now . A note on the year over year that you are seeing This already represents something that is stationary right ?

Speaker #1: That has to do with the with the moment of the year And it represents a huge improvement from what we did last year at this same time , I know if you notice that or 1st May clarify that my name .

Speaker #2: Is referring to , you know , the the first quarter compared to the first quarter of last year . So the beginning of this year is definitely better than , than than the prior year .

Juan Urthiague: What Martin is referring to, you know, the Q1 compared to the Q1 of last year. The beginning of this year is definitely better than the prior year, but the cadence of the quarter last year is somehow impacting, you know, the growth rates for 2026. When you look at 2026 exit rates, you know, they are more like mid-single digits, and if we keep on compounding, that should put us in a better place for 2027. Now, of course, there has been an industry situation. I mean, if you look at the vast majority of the players, they are all between 0% and 3%, 4%, 5%, and there has been less growth in the sector after massive investments, you know, in COVID times and around that time.

Speaker #2: But the cadence of the quarter last year is somehow impacting the growth rate for 2026 . When you look at 2026 exit rates , you know they are more like mid-single digit .

Speaker #2: And if we keep on compounding , that should put us in a better place for 27 . Now of course , there has been an industry , a situation .

Speaker #2: I mean , if you look at the vast majority of the players , they are all between 0 and 3 , four , 5% .

Speaker #2: So there has been less growth in the sector after massive investments . You know , in Covid times and around that time there is a little bit of , you know , getting , getting , you know , going past that period , that period of a massive investments .

Juan Urthiague: There is a little bit of, you know, getting, you know, going past that period of massive investments. The needs are there. The pipeline shows that the customers have been accumulating debt, technical debt, and that needs to start converting at some point. Of course, a better macro, a solid US economy should help eventually. I think that we are coming out of 2 years of a lot of uncertainty globally, and that has not helped. All in all, you know, in summary, I think that Q4 shows a bottom in terms of year-over-year numbers. Q1 already shows a better performance relative to Q4, and the expectation is for that to continue throughout the year.

Speaker #2: But the needs are there . The pipeline shows that the that customers have been accumulating debt , technical debt and that needs to start converting at some point .

Speaker #2: Of course , a better macro , a solid US economy should help eventually . I think that we are coming out of two years of a lot of uncertainty globally , and that has not helped .

Speaker #2: But all in all , you know , in summary , I think that the fourth quarter shows a terms of year over year numbers .

Speaker #2: Q1 already shows a better performance relative to Q4 and the expectation is for that to continue throughout the year .

Speaker #4: Yeah , my quick follow up , Juan , is what what do we how do we model out headcount growth and revenue per head for this year ?

Bryan Keane: Yeah. My quick follow-up, Juan, is how do we model out headcount growth and revenue per head for this year? Does that model change at all as we get more embrace and more of the AI Pods?

Speaker #4: And does that model change at all as we get more embrace and more the AI pods ?

Speaker #2: Yeah, this is the yes, we are seeing that. You know, we can do slightly higher numbers. We can continue to grow our revenue per head with the same or even less headcount.

Juan Urthiague: Yeah, definitely, yes. we are seeing that, you know, we can do slightly higher numbers. We can continue to grow our revenue per head with the same or even less headcount. The AI pod model, by definition, requires less people. It's, you know, it's the AI Pods, which are agents supervised by some few people, so there is less need for talent. I think that the not just for Leon, but in general, the sector will start to change a little bit that trajectory of headcount and revenue that we have seen in the past 20 years. Definitely, the more we are able to penetrate our customers with AI bots, the more the mix of AI bots relative to the rest of the business increases. That should be a positive for revenue per head and also for margins.

Speaker #2: The AI pod model by definition , requires less people . It's it's you know , it's the AI pods , which are agents supervised by some few people .

Speaker #2: So there is less need for talent . So I think that the not just for global but in general , the sector will start to change a little bit .

Speaker #2: That trajectory of headcount and revenue that we have seen in the past 20 years , definitely the more we are able to penetrate our customers with AI pods , the more the mix of AI bots relative to the rest of the business increases .

Speaker #2: That should be a positive for revenue per head and also for margins .

Speaker #4: Got it . Thank you .

Bryan Keane: Got it. Thank you.

Speaker #2: You're welcome

Juan Urthiague: You're welcome.

Speaker #3: Thank you . Brian . The next question comes from the line of Arvind Ramani from Trust Securities . Arvind , nice to have you again with us .

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Bryan. The next question comes from the line of Arvind Ramnani from Truist Securities. Arvind, nice to have you again with us. Please go ahead. It appears that there is an issue on the line of Arvind, so we'll jump to the next question. The next question comes from the line of Jim Schneider from Goldman Sachs. Jim, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Bryan. The next question comes from the line of Arvind Ramnani from Truist Securities. Arvind, nice to have you again with us. Please go ahead. It appears that there is an issue on the line of Arvind, so we'll jump to the next question. The next question comes from the line of Jim Schneider from Goldman Sachs. Jim, please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Please go ahead It appears that there is an issue on the line of Arvind . So we'll jump to the next question . The next question comes from the line of Jim Schneider from Goldman Sachs .

Speaker #3: Jim , please go ahead

Speaker #5: Good afternoon . Thanks for taking my question . I was wondering if you could maybe address , you know , on the AI pod business , the path to get to the upper end of range on the $100 million in a run rate RR in that business , what is required for you to get there ?

Jim Schneider: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. I was wondering if you could maybe address on the AI Pods business, the path to get to the upper end of the range on the $100 million in a run rate ARR in that business. What is required for you to get there? How many more bookings do you need to put in? How much is supported by your existing pipeline of AI Pods business? I guess maybe you just kind of talk about the broad outlook or your confidence of kind of getting to the high end of that range.

Speaker #5: Do you how many more bookings do you need to to put in ? How much is supported by your existing pipeline of AI pods ?

Speaker #5: Business ? And I guess maybe you just kind of talk about the broad outlook or your confidence of kind of getting to the the high end of that range .

Speaker #1: Great question . Thank you . Jim . The higher part of that range could be achieved with not many big customers moving into that model .

Martin Migoya: Great question. Thank you, Jim. The higher part of that range could be achieved with not many big customers moving into that model. Let's see. That's why we are always being cautious here. We are extremely excited about the progress of that. Now we're seeing, you know, engagements of $20 million, $18 million, $15 million being transitioned into this kind of engagement, which is extremely encouraging for us. We expect to achieve those numbers, but I mean, it's the first time we're guiding them. I don't expect to guide those numbers every quarter neither, but I'm trying to be moderate here.

Speaker #1: But let's see , that's why we are always being cautious here . We are extremely excited about the progress of that . Now we are seeing , you know , engagements of $20 million , $18 million , $15 million being transitioned into this kind of engagement , which is extremely encouraging for us .

Speaker #1: So we expect to achieve those numbers . But I don't want to be I mean , it's the first time we're guiding them .

Speaker #1: I don't expect to guide those numbers every quarter neither . But I'm trying to to be moderate here . So but I'm but I'm quite optimistic about the possibilities of reaching to that top line .

Martin Migoya: I'm quite optimistic about the possibilities of reaching to that, top line, top guidance, that we did, at the end of 2026.

Speaker #1: Top guidance that we did at the end of

Speaker #2: If I can , if .

Speaker #1: I can add , go ahead to to Martin's , you know , the the behavior of the pipeline when it comes to AI pods is very encouraging .

Juan Urthiague: If I can.

Martin Migoya: Yeah, go ahead.

Juan Urthiague: ... to Martin's, you know, the behavior of the pipeline when it comes to AI Pods is very encouraging. We're seeing a positive trend and a very accelerated growth. And on top of that, you know, the openness of our top customers to start piloting, right? To start piloting and to start scaling up. You know, when you review the list of clients that are starting to ramp up in this new technology, it's really encouraging. We are very confident and, you know, we trust that we are going to be very close to the range that we guided in terms of AI Pods, yes.

Speaker #1: We're seeing a positive trend and a very accelerated growth . So and on top of that , the , you know , the openness of our top customers to start piloting right piloting and to start scaling up , you know , when you review the list of clients that are ramp up in these new new technology , it's it's really encouraging .

Speaker #1: So we are very confident and and you know , we trust that we are going to be very close to the range that we guided in terms of pods .

Speaker #1: Yes

Speaker #5: That's helpful color . Thank you . And then maybe you talk a little bit about the profile of the gross margins for your overall business .

Jim Schneider: That's helpful color. Thank you. Then maybe you talk a little bit about the profile of the gross margins for your overall business as we head through the year. Juan, I know you mentioned some issues relative to FX and regional costs that were sort of providing some pressure in Q4. Should we expect that we're sort of at a trough on gross margins and we can see acceleration throughout the year? Or how should we think about how that shapes up? Thank you.

Speaker #5: As we head through the year . Juan , I know you mentioned some issues relative to FX and regional costs . That was sort of providing some pressure in Q4 .

Speaker #5: Should we expect that we're sort of at a trough in gross margins , and we can see acceleration throughout the year , or how should we think about how that shapes up ?

Speaker #5: Thank you .

Speaker #2: Yes . Thank you Jim . So I mean , yes , we have been by the US dollar weakness . If you look at Colombian peso , Mexican peso , Chilean peso , Brazilian real , you know , most of the currencies where we operate in Latin America have had significant appreciations throughout 2025 .

Juan Urthiague: Yeah. Thank you, Jim. I mean, yes, we have been impacted by the US dollar weakness. If you look at Colombian peso, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Brazilian real, you know, most of the currencies where we operate in Latin America have had significant appreciations throughout 2025, and that is what impacted, you know, the first, sorry, Q4 of last year and what is also impacting the beginning of this year. I think that the dollar is getting to a point where it's, you know, on an average, it's kind of from, in a very low place relative to historical terms. There has to be a little bit coming from there.

Speaker #2: And that is what impacted , you know , the first sorry , the last quarter of last year . And what is also impacting the beginning of this year , I think that the dollar is getting to a point where it's , you know , on an average , it's kind of from a very low place relative to historical terms .

Speaker #2: So there has to be a little bit coming from there , but also more importantly , I think that we need to keep on focusing on not just , you know , looking at what's happening with currencies , but moving the business towards AI pods , because that's where , you know , productivity increases .

Juan Urthiague: Also more importantly, I think that we need to keep on focusing on not just, you know, looking at what's happening with the currencies, but moving the business towards AI Pods, because that's where, you know, productivity increases, that's where margins become higher. The more we operate on those models, you know, the more efficient we can run them. I think that pricing will be, you know, okay. I mean, it's not gonna be a massive growth this year in terms of pricing for the general business. This is an opportunity to increase our share of AI Pods and hence, you know, maintain or improve our gross margins as we scale that business.

Speaker #2: That's where margins become higher . And the more we operate on those models , you know , the the more efficient we can run them .

Speaker #2: So I think that pricing will be , you know . Okay . I mean , it's not going to be a massive growth this year in terms of pricing for the general business .

Speaker #2: But definitely an opportunity to increase our share of AI pods and hence , you know , maintain or improve our gross margins as we scale that business

Speaker #5: Thank you . .

Speaker #2: You're welcome .

Bryan Bergin: Thank you.

Jim Schneider: Thank you.

Juan Urthiague: You're welcome.

Speaker #3: Thank you . Jim , the next question comes from the line of Jonathan Lee from Guggenheim . Jonathan , please go ahead .

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Jim. The next question comes to the line of Jonathan Lee from Guggenheim. Jonathan, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Jim. The next question comes to the line of Jonathan Lee from Guggenheim. Jonathan, please go ahead.

Speaker #6: Great . Thanks for taking my questions . I wanted to ask what in your customer conversations in January and February gives you confidence around the conversion timelines that are contemplated in your outlook , particularly given some of the client caution you've called out and some of the conversion challenges you may have seen historically .

Jonathan Lee: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. I wanted to ask, you know, what in your customer conversations in January and February gives you confidence around the conversion timelines that are contemplated in your outlook, particularly given some of the client caution you've called out and some of the conversion challenges you may have seen historically?

Speaker #1: So , you know , we are seeing clients , you know , more more open to resuming big deals , conversations . And in the past , we are seeing also some of the volatility and the uncertainty .

Juan Urthiague: You know, we are seeing clients, you know, more open to resuming big deal conversations than in the past. We are seeing also some of the volatility and the uncertainty, you know, lowering their levels in their conversations. Another interesting fact to consider, Jonathan, is that when we are detecting the numbers for 2026, we were able to bake in some very re-relevant deals that we closed in Q3 and Q4, right? Some other deals that we are working on that hopefully will close before the end of Q1.

Speaker #1: You know , lowering their levels in their conversations . And also another interesting factor to consider , Jonathan , is that when we architected the numbers for 2026 , we were able to bake in some very relevant deals that we closed in Q3 and Q4 .

Speaker #1: Right . Some other deals that we are working on and hopefully will close before the end of Q1 . So , you know , some of that volatility going away and some of the , you know , clients being more open and those deals that we closed and we are in the process of onboarding and ramping up , give us the confidence that , you know , the the trajectory will be different

Juan Urthiague: You know, some of that volatility going away, and some of the, you know, clients being more open and those deals that we closed and we are in the process of onboarding and ramping up, give us the confidence that, you know, the trajectory will be different.

Speaker #6: Great . That's encouraging to hear . And just as a follow up , can you help decompose what you're expecting across your verticals over the course of the year ?

Jonathan Lee: Great. That's encouraging to hear. Just as a follow-up, can you help decompose what you're expecting across your verticals over the course of the year? I mean, are there any that you expect to decelerate versus accelerate relative to what you've seen?

Speaker #6: I mean , are there any that you expect to decelerate versus accelerate relative to what you've seen ?

Speaker #2: Now , when we look at , you know , our , our different industries for this year , for last year , financial services had a good year , you know , growing approximately 13% .

Juan Urthiague: When we look at, you know, our different industries for this year, for last year, financial services had a good year, you know, growing approximately 13%. We have seen consumer retail and manufacturing performing very, very well. We continue to expect to see that behavior in that, in that particular industry. So far we have not seen the recovery of professional services, which has been kind of one of the drags during 2025. Technology will come back. We are starting to see some big deals shaping up with our tech customers, which was another sector that was not doing as we wanted last year. Definitely when we look at the Q4 and some of the expectations going forward, that's gonna be fine. Finally, healthcare. Healthcare and gaming, right?

Speaker #2: We have seen consumer retail and manufacturing performing very , very well . We continue to expect to see that behavior in that in that particular industry .

Speaker #2: So far , we have not seen the recovery of professional services , which has been kind of one of the drugs during 2025 .

Speaker #2: Technology will come back . We are starting to see some big deals shaping up with our tech customers , which was another sector that was was not doing as we wanted last year .

Speaker #2: But definitely when we look at Q4 and some of the expectations going forward , that's going to be fine . And finally , healthcare , health care and gaming , right ?

Speaker #2: Those are the two that are big deals that have already been signed that are are in the process of ramping up and that are part of the explanation of , you know , the sequential growth that we should see for the rest of the year .

Juan Urthiague: Those are the two that are big deals that have already been signed that are in the process of ramping up and that are part of the explanation of, you know, the sequential growth that we should see for the rest of the year, you know. That's in general, I tried to go through all the industries as we report them, so hopefully that helps.

Speaker #2: You know , so that's in general , I try to go to all the the industries as we report them . So hopefully that helps .

Speaker #6: Very helpful . Thanks for that guys .

Jonathan Lee: Very helpful. Thanks a lot, guys.

Speaker #2: You're welcome

Juan Urthiague: You're welcome.

Speaker #3: Thank you very much . The next question comes from the line of Sean Kennedy from Mizuho . Sean , please go ahead .

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you very much. The next question comes from the line of Sean Kennedy from Mizuho. Sean, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you very much. The next question comes from the line of Sean Kennedy from Mizuho. Sean, please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Hi everyone . Congrats on the the bookings , growth and momentum . The business . Great to see . So I was wondering about AI pods and the conversations with your customers .

Sean Kennedy: Hi, everyone. Congrats on the bookings growth and momentum in the business. Great to see. I was wondering about AI Pods and the conversations with your customers. Are you seeing their procurement teams becoming more comfortable with the AI Pods business model versus legacy?

Speaker #7: Are you seeing the procurement teams becoming more comfortable with the AI business model versus legacy

Speaker #1: That's a great question Sean . Thank you . You know , this is one of the most challenging things . However , as the thing gains momentum , as the idea gains momentum in the industry on the analyst side , on you guys , the procurement teams are getting more relaxed and also , I believe that the the fact that we are talking something that is extremely solid and it's a it's I would say an order of magnitude more Transparent than the traditional model procurement .

Juan Urthiague: That's a great question, Sean. Thank you. You know, this has been one of the most challenging things. However, as the idea gains momentum in the industry, on the analyst side, on you guys, the procurement teams are getting more relaxed. Also I believe that the fact that we're talking something that is extremely solid and is a, I would say an order of magnitude more transparent than the traditional model, procurement love it. Whenever you can tie any asset that is being produced to the amount of tokens and understand that that correlation is what you're paying, is much fairer than saying, We consume this amount of hours to do whatever. I think the AI Pods offering is extremely solid.

Speaker #1: Love it . So whenever you can tie any , any asset that is being produced to the amount of tokens and understand that that correlation is what you're paying is much better than saying we consume this amount of hours to do whatever .

Speaker #1: So I think the AI bots offerings is extremely solid . Of course , a long road on convincing more people about this . The more you help us , the more we can do it .

Juan Urthiague: Of course, a long road on convincing more people about this. The more you help us, the more we can do it. Appreciate, you know, any kind of explanation on your reports.

Speaker #1: So we appreciate , you know , any kind of explanation on your reports and analysts from Forrester , from IDC , from McKinsey , from Bame , they're already explaining this way of working and 70% of the people , as I read on a report the other day , 70% of the people that are buying technology are expecting a change in the way they engagements happen .

Martin Migoya: Analysts from Forrester, from IDC, from McKinsey, from Bain, they're already explaining this way of working. 70% of the people, as I read on a report the other day, 70% of the people that are buying technology are expecting a change in the way the engagements happen. The answer to that change is either a monthly subscription, an amount of tokens, or some kind of combination there, but it must be on that C code. Procurement teams are responding quite well to that. Having said that, of course, it's always complicated, but it's not impossible, and the business is pushing very hard for that.

Speaker #1: And the answer to that change is either a monthly subscription, an amount of tokens, or some kind of combination there. But it must be on that C code.

Speaker #1: So procurement teams are are responding quite well to that . Having said that , of course it's always complicated , but it's not impossible .

Speaker #1: And the business is pushing very hard for that . And there's also when we started this , we tied the AI pods with the capacity that it was equivalent to a team of X amount of people .

Juan Urthiague: There's also, when we started this, we tied the AI bots with the capacity that it was equivalent to a team of X amount of people, right? Procurement is used to that type of instruments. We become much more mature nowadays, and we are actually talking and correlating the consumption and the subscription with outcome to a certain.

Speaker #1: Right . And procurement is used to that type of measurement . And we become much more mature nowadays . And we're actually talking and correlating the consumption and the subscription with outcome to a certain we provide full transparency as well .

Martin Migoya: Without-

Juan Urthiague: We provide full transparency as well. There's also, you know, we've been getting a lot more mature in describing and showcasing how an AI bot perform, and that has also relaxed a lot the procurement teams.

Speaker #1: So there's also , you know , we've been getting a lot more mature in describing and showcasing how an AI pod perform . And that has also relaxed a lot .

Speaker #1: The procurement teams

Speaker #7: Got it . And then I , you know , ask my follow up . I think you stated that the high end of the guide embeds that the current current conversion levels that you're seeing are consistent .

Sean Kennedy: Got it. And then I... You know, as my follow-up, I think you stated that the high end of the guide embeds that the current conversion levels that you're seeing are consistent. I was just wondering how it's been trending over the last few months. Thank you.

Speaker #7: So I was just wondering how it's been trending over the last few months . Thank you

Speaker #2: Or in general .

Martin Migoya: W-where-

Juan Urthiague: You mean for AI bots or in general?

Speaker #7: Excuse me .

Speaker #2: You're talking about AI bots or . .

Sean Kennedy: Excuse me?

Juan Urthiague: You're talking about AI bots or in general?

Speaker #7: Oh no , just just in general . In total .

Sean Kennedy: Oh, no, just in general, in total.

Speaker #2: No . Look , they are I mean , we built the guidance a couple of weeks ago , you know , so far the conversion rates that we are seeing , some of the big deals that we closed last year that are ramping up , they make us comfortable , you know , to to to be , you know , at the midpoint of of what we guided the pipeline that we have .

Juan Urthiague: You know, look, I mean, we built the guidance a couple of weeks ago. You know, so far the conversion rates that we are seeing, some of the big deals that we closed last year that are ramping up, they make us comfortable, you know, to be, you know, at the midpoint of what we guided. The pipeline that we have, plus, you know, the expectation of some improvement, you know, throughout the year, somehow can take us to the upper end. Definitely, you know, with the current level of, or the current conversion rates plus what we have already done during Q4 and the beginning of this year, should take us to the midpoint of our guidance.

Speaker #2: Plus , the expectation of some improvement . You know , throughout the year somehow can take us to the upper end . But definitely , you know , with the with the current level of the current conversion rates , plus what we have already done during Q4 and the beginning of this year , that will take us to take us to to the midpoint of our guidance .

Speaker #2: But again , that doesn't that doesn't the you know , that doesn't the midpoint doesn't include . Any material improvement or material change on the overall environment .

Juan Urthiague: Again, you know, the midpoint doesn't include any material improvement or material change on the overall environment.

Speaker #7: Got it . Great . Thank you . Good luck . Good luck in 26 . Thanks .

Sean Kennedy: Got it. Great. Thank you.

Juan Urthiague: Thank you so much.

Sean Kennedy: Good luck in 2026. Thanks.

Speaker #2: Thank you .

Sean Kennedy: Good luck in 2026. Thanks.

Speaker #7: Thanks .

Juan Urthiague: Thank you.

Speaker #8: Thank you .

Martin Migoya: Thanks. Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you Sean . The next question comes from the line of Arvind Ramani from Trust Securities . Arvind , please go ahead Thanks , Arturo .

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you, Sean. The next question comes from the line of Arvind Ramnani from Truist Securities. Arvind, please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you, Sean. The next question comes from the line of Arvind Ramnani from Truist Securities. Arvind, please go ahead.

Arvind Ramnani: Thanks, Arturo, good afternoon, everyone. Good set of results. You know, a lot of questions on AI, so I'll kind of hop onto that trend. Look, I mean, AI bots generated about, I think it's at $21 million in ARR this quarter. You know, very impressive, given, and given it's still early. Still it's less than, like, 1% of your overall revenue, so still pretty small. You know, when you look at this model, you know, it's basically designed to do more work with tokens and less with humans. You know, as this AI bots scale, how do you prevent them from cannibalizing your core seat-based revenue?

Speaker #9: And good afternoon everyone . Good set of results . You know , lots of questions on on AI . So I'll kind of hop on to that trend .

Speaker #9: Look , I mean AI pods generated about I think it's a 21 million in IRR . This quarter . You know , very impressive given a given .

Speaker #9: It's still early but but still it's less than 1% of your overall revenue . So still pretty small . But you know , when you look at this model , you know , it's basically designed to do more work with tokens and less less with humans .

Speaker #9: And as AI pods scale , how do you prevent them from cannibalizing your core seeds , seed based revenue and then secondly , what is the internal modeling saying about the revenue crossover point when you're doing generating more from token based revenue versus versus headcount based revenue

Arvind Ramnani: Secondly, what is your internal modeling saying about the revenue crossover point when you're generating more from token-based revenue versus headcount-based revenue?

Speaker #1: I'm not in a position to prevent cannibalization

Martin Migoya: I'm not in a position to prevent cannibalization.

Speaker #3: So

Speaker #1: I want I want that transformation to happen . And that puts us in the in the right side . And that means that as AI grows , we will keep on growing .

Arvind Ramnani: Right.

Martin Migoya: I want that transformation to happen. That puts us in the right side. That means that as AI grows, we will keep on growing. The way we're delivering our services with these AI bots is by far, very scalable. It kind of distill years and years of experience and the configuration files that we are using for each of those AI bots and how the agents must run the process is really, you know, very impressive to see how those small recipes to achieve the assets that our customers have, are really changing the way we are using AI and the current models that we have. Because we're baking into those configuration files all the experience that we have in the company.

Speaker #1: And the way we are delivering our services with these AirPods is , is by far Very scalable . It kind of . Style .

Speaker #1: Years and years of experience and and the configuration files that we are using for each of those AI bots and how the agents must run the process is really , you know , very , very impressive to see how those small recipes to achieve the assets that our customers have are really changing the way we are using AI and the current models that we have , because we're baking into those configuration files , all the experience that we have in the company .

Speaker #1: So this is the North for us . On how to deliver technology and solutions . Moving forward . And and of course , there will be customers that are comfortable with the hours and our current business we have with them .

Martin Migoya: This is the north for us on how to deliver technology and solutions moving forward. Of course, there will be customers that are comfortable with the hours and our current business we have with them, so on and so forth, and extremely happy to keep on doing that. We are extremely encouraging our customers to move to this new model because we believe on the benefits for transparency, for productivity, for the long-term relationship we have with them. Not necessarily AI bots are, you know, cheaper, they're more productive. We see a transition here in which we will gonna be now transitioning from one kind of business to the other type of business. It will be like a rational migration rather than anything else.

Speaker #1: So on and so forth . And extremely happy to keep on doing that . But we are extremely encouraging our customers to move to this new model because we believe on the benefits for transparency , for productivity , for the long term relationship .

Speaker #1: We have with them . And Not necessary . AI bots are now cheaper . They're more productive . So we see a transition here in which we will going to be transitioning from one kind of business to the other type of business .

Speaker #1: So it will be like a rational migration rather than anything else. So I don't know if that answers your question.

Martin Migoya: I don't know if that answer your question?

Speaker #2: For the second part . Arvin . You know , as we migrate , you know , the business to AI bots and AI bots start to gain share .

Juan Urthiague: part, Irving, you know, as we migrate, you know, the business to AI Pods, and AI Pods start to gain share, you know, hopefully by the end of the year with the current forecast that we have in our, you know, internal projections, the numbers that Martin mentioned, you know, in terms of ARR for the end of the year. Definitely, you know, we went from zero to $20 million run rate in just, you know, two quarters

Speaker #2: You know , hopefully by the end of the year with the current forecast that we have in our in our internal projections , the numbers of my team mentioned , you know , in terms of R for the end of the year .

Speaker #2: So definitely , you know , we went from 0 to $20 million run rate in just , you two quarters . The model has been under a lot of evolution .

Juan Urthiague: The model has been under a lot of evolution, you know, a lot of testing with customers, a lot of internal work on, you know, making sure that it creates a differentiator for Globant that, you know, makes us stronger relative to other players or other models that might be out there. Now, you know, it is starting to accelerate. As we discussed before, you know, when we look at which are the customers that are now getting on board, which is the size of some of the deals. You know, now it's not just, you know, the let's try with a small thing here, but some customers are actually talking about $10 million, $15 million, $20 million being migrated to the new model.

Speaker #2: You know , a lot of testing with customers , a lot of internal work on , you know , making sure that it is it creates a differentiation for love and the that , you know , makes us stronger relative to other players or other models that might be out there .

Speaker #2: And now , you know , it is starting to accelerate . As we discussed before , you know , when we look at which are the customers that are now getting on board , which which is the size of some of the deals , you know , now , it's not just , you know , the let's try it with a small team here , but some customers are actually talking about 10 million , 15 million , $20 million being migrated to the new model .

Speaker #2: So I think that we are starting to get that acceleration after a couple of quarters of understanding , the customer , getting feedback , you know , we just launched this in Q3 last year .

Juan Urthiague: I think that we are starting to get that acceleration after a couple of quarters of understanding the customer, getting feedback. You know, we just launched this in Q3 last year, so it's only a few quarters that the model is around. It's already creating interesting revenues, creating a lot of momentum with customers. I would say that by the end of the year it will be more relevant, you know, relative to our own pie. Definitely it should be next year when you know the curves start to get closer.

Speaker #2: So it's only a few quarters that the model is around . It's already creating interesting revenues , creating a lot of momentum with customers .

Speaker #2: I would say that by the end of the year , it will be more relevant . You know , relative to our old pie , but definitely it should be next year .

Speaker #2: When , when when you know the curves start to get closer .

Speaker #4: Yeah .

Speaker #1: And also for your models everything that you are covering guys , I think that we must acknowledge here that the industry is shifting and that this new industry of our AI native services is going to be , in essence , different from from what it used to be .

Martin Migoya: Yeah. Also for your models and for everything that you are covering, guys, I think that we must acknowledge here that the industry is shifting and that this new industry of our AI native service is gonna be, in essence, different from what it used to be. AI native services is leveraged on of course on knowledge, but also on repeatable processes and things that we have never had before. In the same way Amazon created the cloud, you know, computing industry, when they launched Amazon Web Services. Of course, at our scale, and I don't want to be comparing with Amazon, but our scale, we are kind of executing this vision of AI native technology solutions.

Speaker #1: And AI native services is leveraged on , of course , on knowledge . But also on repeatable processes and things that we have never had before .

Speaker #1: So in the same way , Amazon created the cloud computing industry when when they launched Amazon Web Services , of course , at our scale , I don't want to be comparing with Amazon , but our scale we are kind of executing this vision of AI native technology solutions and and the way to model that and the way to to do that is absolutely different from what it used to be .

Martin Migoya: The way to model that and the way to do that is absolutely different from what it used to be. That's why I started talking about ARR, because it's kind of a recurring revenue that is not coupled to the amount of people. Right now we are using, you know, people to supervise what the agents are producing. Every kind of asset has a certain amount of time for those things to be supervised, so we can calculate how much people we need for that. What we believe is that the revenue has nothing to do with the amount of people that we are putting there. The revenue has to do with the amount of assets that we are creating and how enterprise-ready those assets are, right?

Speaker #1: That's why I started talking about IRR, because it's kind of a recurring revenue that is not coupled to the amount of people right now.

Speaker #1: We are using , you know , people to supervise what the agents are producing . Every kind of asset has a certain amount of time for those things to be supervised .

Speaker #1: So we can calculate how much people we need , we need for that . But but what we believe is that the revenue has nothing to do with the amount of people that we are putting their revenue has to do with the amount of assets that we are creating and how enterprise ready those assets are .

Speaker #1: Right ? You can use Codex , but you know you won't get all . The discipline and the rigorous , you know , approach that enterprise software needs .

Martin Migoya: You can use Codex, but you know you won't get all the discipline and the rigorous, you know, approach that enterprise software needs. What we are creating here are processes to create assets that are enterprise-ready, security-ready, that they have the scalability, repeatability, and maintainability that you need to have moving forward. It's really a different way of understanding the industry itself. There's a 2 trillion dollar industry that must change to a new model, and this is the very beginning of that.

Speaker #1: So what we are creating here are processes to create assets that are enterprise ready , security ready , that they have . The scalability and the repeatability and maintainability that that you need to have moving forward .

Speaker #1: So it's really a different way of understanding the industry itself . There's a $2 trillion industry that must change to a new model .

Speaker #1: And this is the very beginning of that .

Speaker #9: Yeah . Perfect . That's that's incredibly helpful . Just a quick follow up here Just a quick follow up . In terms of like the tokens , the tokens cast a particular amount of money .

[Analyst]: Yeah. Perfect. That's incredibly helpful. Just a quick follow-up here. Mm-hmm. Just a quick follow-up. In terms of like the tokens, right? The tokens cost you a particular amount of money, and then you're, you know, charging your customers. Are the margins you're making there, you know, higher or lower than the company average?

Arvind Ramnani: Yeah. Perfect. That's incredibly helpful. Just a quick follow-up here. Mm-hmm. Just a quick follow-up. In terms of like the tokens, right? The tokens cost you a particular amount of money, and then you're, you know, charging your customers. Are the margins you're making there, you know, higher or lower than the company average?

Speaker #9: And then your , your you know , you're charging a customers . What are the margins ? You're making their higher or lower than the company average .

Speaker #1: As we reported , margins are between 45 to 60% , depending on the AI pod and depending on the on the on the customer .

Martin Migoya: As we reported, margins are between 45% to 60%, depending on the AI bot, and depending on the customer, and depending on the things that we need to create. We expect that margin, as we progress with time, to increase as we get more efficient with technology and we get more efficient supervising and the technology for supervision gets improved too. This is the kind of model we have in mind. As we are able to supervise more assets, with the same amount of people, with less people or with better technology, we'll need less supervision and we're able to increase our margins. That's a virtuous cycle that happens here. Not just that, every single conversation and every single token is being stored on our Enterprise AI platform.

Speaker #1: And depending on the things that we need to create , we expect that margin as we progress with time to to increase . As we get more efficient with technology and we get more efficient supervising and the technology for supervision gets improved too .

Speaker #1: So this is the kind of model we have in mind, as we are able to supervise more assets with the same amount of people, with fewer people, or with better technology.

Speaker #1: We will need less supervision , and we're able to increase our margins . And that's that's a virtuous cycle that happens here , but not just that .

Speaker #1: Every single conversation, every single token is being stored on our enterprise AI platform. And those tokens can be used to improve the processes and to retain corporate sovereignty of the processes of the company.

Martin Migoya: Those tokens can be used to improve the processes and to retain corporate sovereignty of the processes of the company. This is kind of an explosion of productivity, and it will reshape the whole industry. Not just for software development, it will happen also for process operation. Today we have AI Bots calls AI Pod Software, and we have another AI Bots called AI Pod Operations. Those AI Bots of operations, they get that kind of doing things for operating certain processes of companies, and we charge it also per consumption. It's a radically different way of understanding how professional services and how services will be rendered moving forward.

Speaker #1: So this is kind of an explosion of productivity and and it will reshape the whole industry and not just for software development . It will happen also for process operations .

Speaker #1: Today we have AI pods , post AI bots , software , and we have another AI pod called AI pods operations . And those AI bots of operations , they get that that kind of doing things for operating certain processes of companies .

Speaker #1: And we charge it also per consumption . So it's a radically different way of understanding how professional services and how services will be rendered .

Speaker #1: Moving forward . There's a lot of value to add for companies like Globant , and there's a lot of , you know , change of mindset that is needed to understand these new industry .

Martin Migoya: There's a lot of value to add for companies like Globant, and there's a lot of, you know, change of mindset that is needed to understand this new industry. I could be talking forever about this, but thanks. Very helpful. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks.

Speaker #1: Like, we'll be talking forever about this, but thanks.

Speaker #9: Are very helpful . Thank you so much .

Speaker #1: Thank you . Thank you so much .

Speaker #9: Thanks .

Speaker #3: Thank you very much , Arvin . Unfortunately , that's all the time we have for our question and answer session for today . So with that , I will now ask Martin to provide some closing remarks .

[Company Representative] (Globant S.A.): Thank you very much, Arvind. Unfortunately, that's all the time we have for our question and answer section for today. With that, I will now ask Martin to provide some closing remarks. Martin, the line is open.

Operator: Thank you very much, Arvind. Unfortunately, that's all the time we have for our question and answer section for today. With that, I will now ask Martin to provide some closing remarks. Martin, the line is open.

Speaker #3: Martin , the line is open .

Speaker #1: Thank you so much , Arturo . And thank you , everyone of you , for your support , for your help and for being here today Bye bye .

Martin Migoya: Thank you so much, Arturo. Thank you every one of you for your support, for your help, and for being here today. Bye-bye. See you next quarter.

Speaker #1: See you next for you . Bye . See you .
