Grid Dynamics Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Record Revenues of $104.2 million; Board Authorizes $50.0 million Share Repurchase Program

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDYN) ("Grid Dynamics" or the "Company"), a leader in enterprise-level AI and digital transformation, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

We are pleased to report third quarter 2025 revenues of $104.2 million. This is within our outlook of $103.0 million to $105.0 million that we provided in July 2025. On a sequential and year-over-year basis this represents growth of 3.0% and 19.1%, respectively.

Retail remained our largest vertical, contributing 27.8% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2025. The Technology, Media and Telecom ("TMT") vertical surpassed Finance for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2024, becoming our second largest vertical. TMT accounted for 27.4% of the third quarter revenues, increasing 13.5% sequentially and 18.2% year-over-year, largely driven by higher demand from our largest technology customers. The Finance vertical continued to perform strongly, contributing 24.6% of total revenues for the quarter. Growth in this vertical was primarily driven by sustained demand from fintech customers, supplemented by contributions from our 2024 acquisitions. Revenues from the Consumer Packaged Goods ("CPG") and Manufacturing vertical were relatively stable sequentially, and increased 11.3% year-over-year, primarily reflecting contributions from our 2024 acquisitions. Lastly, the Healthcare and Pharma, and Other verticals remained relatively flat in absolute dollars sequentially, and contributed 2.3% and 7.4% of total third quarter revenues, respectively.

"Our third quarter revenue of $104.2 million was another all time high, fueled by AI demand. AI revenue grew 10% on a sequential basis and contributed to over 25% of our third quarter organic revenue. In the third quarter, we added five times more billable engineers than we added in the second quarter. For the fourth quarter, we expect net-billable engineers to increase at similar levels as in the third quarter. This is indeed a remarkable achievement given year-end seasonal trends.

As a result of the strong momentum in the second half of the year, we expect to end the year with a materially higher billable run rate, positioning us well going into 2026. Our 2026 revenue growth will be built on top of this higher baseline, providing a strong foundation for the continued expansion and operating leverage.

We have also operationalized company-wide initiatives to expand our profitability and margins. Over the next 12 months, we expect to improve our margins by at least 300 basis points. These include efficiency improvements with the focus on higher margin geographies, leveraging enhanced pricing with our AI offerings, rebalancing our portfolio and embracing technologies with our AI-first initiatives.

I am happy to report that we are announcing a $50.0 million share repurchase program, which represents approximately 15% of our cash. The buyback reflects our confidence in the long-term prospects of our business and our commitment to investing in ourselves," said Leonard Livschitz, CEO.

Financial Outlook

Fourth Quarter

• The Company expects revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 to be in the range of $105.0 to $107.0 million.
• Non-GAAP EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected to be between $13.0 and $14.0 million.

Full Year

• The Company expects full-year 2025 revenues to be in the range of $410.7 to $412.7 million, representing growth of 17.1% to 17.7% on a year-over-year basis.

Grid Dynamics is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for net income/(loss) for the fourth quarter of 2025 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from Non-GAAP EBITDA that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as interest income, taxes, other income/(expenses), fair-value adjustments, geographic reorganization expenses, restructuring expenses, transaction-related costs and charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program, under which the Company may purchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock. The common stock may be repurchased at prices that the Company deems appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law and other factors deemed relevant in the Company's sole discretion. Such repurchases may be effected through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including repurchase plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures presented in Grid Dynamics press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company also presents Non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

A "non-GAAP financial measure" refers to a numerical measure of Grid Dynamics historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Grid Dynamics provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity and profitability.

Grid Dynamics has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by Grid Dynamics' management to evaluate Grid Dynamics' core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel.

Grid Dynamics believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors and other users of its financial information consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of operations. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. Grid Dynamics compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measures. Grid Dynamics encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.
