These uncertainties and risks are included, but not limited to what the company has
mentioned in its prospectus filed with SEBI and subsequent annual reports that are
available on its website. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Ritesh Idnani. Thank
you, and over to you, sir.
Ritesh Idnani: Thank you for joining us today to discuss our financial results for Q1FY27. The first
quarter reinforces a simple belief for us, sustainable transformation is built on execution.
As clients navigate a rapidly evolving business and technology landscape, they are
looking for partners who can combine innovation with accountability and deliver
measurable outcomes. At Firstsource, we remain focused on doing exactly that,
leveraging our domain expertise, digital capabilities, and talented teams to help clients
move from intent to impact. I would like to thank each one of our 36,875 Firstsourcers
around the world for their relentless commitment to delivering exceptional value to our
clients.
Quarterly performance
Let me start with a discussion on Q1 performance. Q1 marks the ninth straight quarter
of double-digit year-on-year revenue growth and the eleventh straight quarter of
sequential revenue growth. Our revenue grew by 22.9% year-on-year and 5.5%
quarter-on-quarter and came in at INR27.2 billion. In US dollar terms, the growth was
11.2% year-on-year and 1.8% quarter-on-quarter to $288 million. In constant currency
terms, our revenue grew 12.3% year-on-year and 2.2% quarter-on-quarter. EBIT margin
for the quarter was 12.4%, up 110 basis points and 20 basis points on a year-on-year
and quarter-on-quarter basis, respectively. Our adjusted net profit was INR2.2 billion,
and the diluted EPS for the quarter was INR2.36.
Deal Wins
Coming to the business highlights, I will start with our deal wins and other client-related
metrics. In Q1, we signed four large deals. This is the sixth consecutive quarter of four
or more large deals for us at Firstsource. As you're aware, we consider a deal with ACV
over US$5 million as a large deal. Our ACV intake remained healthy and was, in fact,
the highest in the last four quarters.
I am encouraged by the strength of our wins, both in number and scale. This reflects
our ability to bring together deep industry and functional expertise, strong technology
ecosystem partnerships, and an AI-first automation approach that's delivering clear
outcomes for clients, better customer experience, faster decision-making, and a lower
cost-to-serve.
I would like to emphasize that several of our wins are transformative and ramp up in
phases, unlike traditional steady-state work. So while they strengthen long-term growth
visibility, revenue conversion is typically spread over a longer period as transformation
and enablement milestones are completed.
Let me now highlight a few of our notable wins during Q1.
• We secured a large, transformative deal with a leading UK-based benefits and
pension administration provider for end-to-end back-office transformation and
resource optimization.

• We also won a large deal from a leading academic medical centre in the US for
insurance follow-up, denials management, and complex claims resolution. This,
incidentally, is also a new logo for us.
• We expanded our relationship with a leading public health system in the US for
patient contact centre and self-pay early-out services.
• We secured a new deal with a US-based health insurance provider on the customer
experience side.
• A leading on-demand manufacturing marketplace in the US selected us to provide
account servicing as well as customer experience services.
• A leading international public transport and shared mobility operator selected us for
customer service operations across Europe.
• We also expanded our relationship with a UK-based fibre broadband provider for
customer experience services delivered from South Africa.
During the quarter, we added 12 new logos, which included three strategic logos. We
define a strategic logo as one where we see potential of at least a $5 million-plus annual
relationship, and we run a structured program to handhold and monitor such
relationships to grow them at an accelerated pace.
Vertical commentary
Let me now turn to our vertical performance, starting with Banking and Financial
Services. In Q1FY27, our BFS vertical grew 14% year-on-year and 5% sequentially in
constant currency terms. We added five new logos during the quarter.
In BFS, client interest remains particularly strong around intelligent operations,
customer servicing, financial crime, compliance, and collections use cases. We are
progressing several engagements that combine our deep domain expertise with our
Kairos Intelligent Context Framework, enabling clients to apply AI within highly
regulated environments with the right business context, governance, and operational
controls. Within the vertical, collections demand stayed strong as US consumer debt
touched record highs, keeping volumes and servicing complexity elevated. In mortgage,
higher rates and subdued refinancing kept clients focused on cost take-out,
simplification, as well as on servicing efficiency, where our AI-enabled transformation is
resonating. We are also expanding with mid-sized banks and fintechs as they
modernize platforms and embed AI across onboarding, servicing, and collections. Our
Q1 exit deal pipeline in financial services was amongst the strongest in recent quarters,
giving us confidence in sustaining growth momentum in this vertical.
In healthcare, revenues grew 11% year-on-year but declined 2% sequentially in
constant currency terms. However, we added four new logos during the quarter.
Healthcare continues to be a core growth pillar and a key area of strate
