On today's call, you will hear from Julie Sweet, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer; and Angie Park, our Chief Financial Officer. We hope you've had an opportunity to review the news release we issued a short time ago. Let me quickly outline the agenda for today's call. Julie will begin with an overview of our results. Angie will take you through the financial details, including the income statement and balance sheet, along with some key operational metrics for the first quarter. Julie will then provide a brief update on our market positioning before Angie provides our business outlook for the second quarter and full year fiscal 2026.였늘 컨퍼런슀 μ½œμ—λŠ” Julie Sweet 회μž₯ κ²Έ μ΅œκ³ κ²½μ˜μžμ™€ Angie Park μ΅œκ³ μž¬λ¬΄μ±…μž„μžκ°€ μ°Έμ„ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„κ»˜μ„œ 쑰금 μ „ 저희가 λ°œν‘œν•œ λ³΄λ„μžλ£Œλ₯Ό κ²€ν† ν•˜μ‹€ κΈ°νšŒκ°€ μžˆμœΌμ…¨κΈ°λ₯Ό λ°”λžλ‹ˆλ‹€. 였늘 컨퍼런슀 콜의 μ•ˆκ±΄μ„ κ°„λž΅νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We will then take your questions before Julie provides a wrap-up at the end of the call. Some of the matters we'll discuss on this call, including our business outlook, are forward-looking and as such, are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those factors set forth in today's news release and discussed in our annual report and Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other SEC filings. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed on the call. During our call today, we will reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe provide useful information for investors.이후 μ§ˆμ˜μ‘λ‹΅ μ‹œκ°„μ„ κ°–κ³ , 톡화 λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μ— Julieκ°€ 마무리 말씀을 λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 였늘 ν†΅ν™”μ—μ„œ λ…Όμ˜ν•  일뢀 사항듀은 사업 전망을 ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ—¬ 미래예츑적 λ‚΄μš©μ΄λ©°, λ”°λΌμ„œ 였늘 λ³΄λ„μžλ£Œμ— λͺ…μ‹œλ˜κ³  λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ μ—°λ‘€λ³΄κ³ μ„œ Form 10-K, λΆ„κΈ°λ³΄κ³ μ„œ Form 10-Q 및 기타 SEC 제좜 μ„œλ₯˜μ—μ„œ λ…Όμ˜λœ μš”μΈλ“€μ„ ν¬ν•¨ν•˜λ˜ 이에 κ΅­ν•œλ˜μ§€ μ•ŠλŠ” μ•Œλ €μ§„ 그리고 μ•Œλ €μ§€μ§€ μ•Šμ€ μœ„ν—˜κ³Ό λΆˆν™•μ‹€μ„±μ˜ 영ν–₯을 λ°›μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μœ„ν—˜κ³Ό λΆˆν™•μ‹€μ„±μœΌλ‘œ 인해 μ‹€μ œ κ²°κ³ΌλŠ” λ³Έ ν†΅ν™”μ—μ„œ μ–ΈκΈ‰λœ λ‚΄μš©κ³Ό 크게 λ‹€λ₯Ό 수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 였늘 ν†΅ν™”μ—μ„œ μ €ν¬λŠ” νˆ¬μžμžλ“€μ—κ²Œ μœ μš©ν•œ 정보λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•œλ‹€κ³  νŒλ‹¨λ˜λŠ” νŠΉμ • λΉ„-GAAP μž¬λ¬΄μ§€ν‘œλ“€μ„ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

CEO & Chairman

Thank you, Alexia, and everyone for joining this morning. Apologies in advance for my voice. I am getting over a seasonal cold, and my voice is not quite cooperating.

And really wanted to start today by thanking our nearly 784,000 people around the world for your extraordinary work and your commitment to our clients, which enabled us to deliver another strong quarter. Let me begin by sharing that we are very proud to have earned the #4 spot on the Great Place to Work list of the World's Best Workplaces, our highest ever ranking on this prestigious list. This recognition reflects our strategy to be the most client-focused AI-enabled great place to work for reinventors. It is especially meaningful because it is based on feedback from our people worldwide. Our ability to attract and retain great talent is one of our most important competitive advantages.였늘 λ¨Όμ € μ „ 세계 μ•½ 784,000λͺ…μ˜ μž„μ§μ› μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„κ»˜ κ°μ‚¬μ˜ 말씀을 λ“œλ¦¬κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„μ˜ νƒμ›”ν•œ 업무 μˆ˜ν–‰κ³Ό 고객에 λŒ€ν•œ ν—Œμ‹  덕뢄에 또 ν•œ 번 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ λΆ„κΈ° 싀적을 달성할 수 μžˆμ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ¨Όμ € λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ³  싢은 것은, Great Place to Workκ°€ μ„ μ •ν•œ 세계 졜고의 일터(World's Best Workplaces) λͺ©λ‘μ—μ„œ 4μœ„λ₯Ό μ°¨μ§€ν•˜κ²Œ λ˜μ–΄ 맀우 μžλž‘μŠ€λŸ½λ‹€λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 이 κΆŒμœ„ μžˆλŠ” λ¦¬μŠ€νŠΈμ—μ„œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ λ‹¬μ„±ν•œ μ—­λŒ€ 졜고 μˆœμœ„μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 인정은 ν˜μ‹ κ°€λ“€μ„ μœ„ν•œ κ°€μž₯ 고객 쀑심적이고 AI 기반의 ν›Œλ₯­ν•œ 일터가 되고자 ν•˜λŠ” 우리의 μ „λž΅μ„ λ°˜μ˜ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 특히 의미 μžˆλŠ” 것은 이것이 μ „ 세계 우리 μž„μ§μ›λ“€μ˜ ν”Όλ“œλ°±μ„ λ°”νƒ•μœΌλ‘œ ν•œ 것이기 λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν›Œλ₯­ν•œ 인재λ₯Ό μœ μΉ˜ν•˜κ³  μœ μ§€ν•˜λŠ” 우리의 μ—­λŸ‰μ€ κ°€μž₯ μ€‘μš”ν•œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„ 쀑 ν•˜λ‚˜μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Before handing over to Angie, I will briefly highlight the value we delivered this quarter, the importance of our partnership strategy and this quarter's strategic acquisitions. We are very pleased with our results as we continue executing our strategy to help our clients reinvent every part of their enterprise reflected in our bookings of $20.9 billion, including 33 clients with quarterly bookings greater than $100 million. We delivered revenue of $18.7 billion, growing 5% in local currency at the top of our guided range with broad-based growth across markets and both types of work.μ•€μ§€μ—κ²Œ λ„˜κΈ°κΈ° 전에, 이번 뢄기에 μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ „λ‹¬ν•œ κ°€μΉ˜, νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ „λž΅μ˜ μ€‘μš”μ„±, 그리고 이번 λΆ„κΈ°μ˜ μ „λž΅μ  μΈμˆ˜μ— λŒ€ν•΄ κ°„λž΅νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 고객듀이 κΈ°μ—…μ˜ λͺ¨λ“  뢀문을 μž¬μ°½μ‘°ν•  수 μžˆλ„λ‘ λ•λŠ” μ „λž΅μ„ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ‹€ν–‰ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ 맀우 만쑱슀러운 싀적을 κ±°λ‘μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 209μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ μˆ˜μ£Όμž”κ³ μ— λ°˜μ˜λ˜μ–΄ 있으며, λΆ„κΈ° μˆ˜μ£Όμ•‘μ΄ 1μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό μ΄ˆκ³Όν•œ 고객이 33κ°œμ‚¬μ— λ‹¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 187μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λ§€μΆœμ„ λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ 5% μ„±μž₯ν•˜μ—¬ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ λ²”μœ„μ˜ 상단에 μœ„μΉ˜ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” μ‹œμž₯ μ „λ°˜κ³Ό μ–‘μͺ½ 업무 μœ ν˜• λͺ¨λ‘μ—μ„œ κ΄‘λ²”μœ„ν•œ μ„±μž₯을 보인 κ²°κ³Όμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
And we continue to strengthen our competitive position by taking significant market share on a rolling 4-quarter basis against our basket of our closest global publicly traded competitors, which is how we calculate market share. Adjusted operating margin expanded by 30 basis points year-over-year, and we delivered adjusted EPS growth of 10% compared to Q1 last year. We continue to invest significantly to execute our talent strategy to rotate our workforce. We have nearly reached our goal of 80,000 AI and data professionals and our people participated in approximately 8 million training hours this quarter with a significant focus on building advanced AI technology and industry skills.그리고 μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κ°€μž₯ κ°€κΉŒμš΄ κΈ€λ‘œλ²Œ 상μž₯ κ²½μŸμ‚¬ λ°”μŠ€μΌ“ λŒ€λΉ„ 연속 4λΆ„κΈ° κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ μ‹œμž₯μ μœ μœ¨μ„ ν™•λ³΄ν•˜λ©° 경쟁λ ₯ μžˆλŠ” μž…μ§€λ₯Ό μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ κ°•ν™”ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ‹œμž₯μ μœ μœ¨μ„ μ‚°μ •ν•˜λŠ” λ°©μ‹μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ‘°μ • μ˜μ—…μ΄μ΅λ₯ μ€ μ „λ…„ 동기 λŒ€λΉ„ 30bp ν™•λŒ€λ˜μ—ˆμœΌλ©°, μž‘λ…„ 1λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ μ‘°μ • μ£Όλ‹Ήμˆœμ΄μ΅μ€ 10% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 인λ ₯ μ „ν™˜μ„ μœ„ν•œ 인재 μ „λž΅ 싀행에 μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 투자λ₯Ό ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Advanced AI is increasingly embedded in our large transformation programs, either enabling future enterprise use or being implemented directly as part of our solutions. Our strong leadership in advanced AI is a clear competitive advantage as clients select us to help them capture the value of this technology now and over time and to build the readiness required to adopt it effectively across the enterprise. Momentum in the adoption of enterprise AI continues. Our advanced AI bookings this quarter were $2.2 billion, nearly doubling from Q1 last year and also up from Q4. Revenue reached another milestone this quarter at approximately $1.1 billion.κ³ λ„ν™”λœ AIλŠ” 우리의 λŒ€κ·œλͺ¨ μ „ν™˜ ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨μ— 점점 더 깊이 λ‚΄μž¬λ˜κ³  있으며, ν–₯ν›„ κΈ°μ—… ν™œμš©μ„ κ°€λŠ₯ν•˜κ²Œ ν•˜κ±°λ‚˜ 우리 μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ˜ μΌλΆ€λ‘œ 직접 κ΅¬ν˜„λ˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ³ λ„ν™”λœ AI λΆ„μ•Όμ—μ„œμ˜ 우리의 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 리더십은 고객듀이 ν˜„μž¬μ™€ ν–₯ν›„ 이 기술의 κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό ν¬μ°©ν•˜κ³ , μ „μ‚¬μ μœΌλ‘œ 효과적으둜 λ„μž…ν•˜λŠ” 데 ν•„μš”ν•œ μ€€λΉ„ νƒœμ„Έλ₯Ό κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜λŠ” 데 μžˆμ–΄ 우리λ₯Ό μ„ νƒν•˜λŠ” λͺ…ν™•ν•œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—”ν„°ν”„λΌμ΄μ¦ˆ AI λ„μž…μ˜ λͺ¨λ©˜ν…€μ€ κ³„μ†λ˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 λΆ„κΈ° κ³ λ„ν™”λœ AI μˆ˜μ£Όμ•‘μ€ 22μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ, μž‘λ…„ 1λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 거의 두 λ°° μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμœΌλ©° 4λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„λ‘œλ„ μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§€μΆœμ€ 이번 λΆ„κΈ° μ•½ 11μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ 또 λ‹€λ₯Έ μ΄μ •ν‘œμ— λ„λ‹¬ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
As we think about the advanced AI opportunity ahead, as you know, we were the first in our industry to share our bookings and revenue from advanced AI, which we define as GenAI, Agentic AI and Physical AI and does not include data, classical AI or RPA. We introduced the metrics in Q3 FY '23, just months after GenAI burst onto the scene initially to size the reality of the opportunity and to demonstrate our early leadership. At that time, bookings were about $100 million across roughly 100 projects and revenue was immaterial. We have measured it consistently since that time.κ³ κΈ‰ AI κΈ°νšŒμ— λŒ€ν•΄ 생각해보면, μ•„μ‹œλ‹€μ‹œν”Ό μ €ν¬λŠ” 업계 졜초둜 κ³ κΈ‰ AI μˆ˜μ£Όμ™€ λ§€μΆœμ„ κ³΅κ°œν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—¬κΈ°μ„œ κ³ κΈ‰ AIλŠ” μƒμ„±ν˜• AI, 에이전틱 AI, 피지컬 AIλ₯Ό μ˜λ―Έν•˜λ©° 데이터, κΈ°μ‘΄ AI λ˜λŠ” RPAλŠ” ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ§€ μ•ŠμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” μƒμ„±ν˜• AIκ°€ 처음 λ“±μž₯ν•œ μ§€ 뢈과 λͺ‡ κ°œμ›” 후인 2023 νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 3뢄기에 이 μ§€ν‘œλ₯Ό λ„μž…ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, μ΄λŠ” 기회의 μ‹€μ§ˆμ  규λͺ¨λ₯Ό μΈ‘μ •ν•˜κ³  μ €ν¬μ˜ 초기 리더십을 μž…μ¦ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•¨μ΄μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹Ήμ‹œ μˆ˜μ£Όμ•‘μ€ μ•½ 100개 ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈμ— 걸쳐 μ•½ 1μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜€μœΌλ©° λ§€μΆœμ€ λ―Έλ―Έν•œ μˆ˜μ€€μ΄μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έ μ΄ν›„λ‘œ μ €ν¬λŠ” 이λ₯Ό μΌκ΄€λ˜κ²Œ μΈ‘μ •ν•΄μ™”μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
To date, we have now delivered approximately $11.5 billion in bookings across 11,000 projects with revenue of $4.8 billion. This will be the last quarter in which we share these specific metrics. The demand for AI is both real and rapidly maturing. We've now reached a point where advanced AI is being embedded in some way across nearly everything we do, and many of our clients are focusing on moving beyond stand-alone proof of concept or initiatives.ν˜„μž¬κΉŒμ§€ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 11,000개 ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈμ— 걸쳐 μ•½ 115μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ μˆ˜μ£Όμž”κ³ (bookings)λ₯Ό ν™•λ³΄ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, λ§€μΆœμ€ 48μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 λΆ„κΈ°κ°€ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ ꡬ체적인 μ§€ν‘œλ“€μ„ κ³΅μœ ν•˜λŠ” λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰ λΆ„κΈ°κ°€ 될 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We're shifting to more scaled end-to-end solutions that integrate multiple forms of AI, and it has become less meaningful to isolate the data specifically for advanced AI as it does not reflect how the demand is evolving on the ground, the scope -- the full scope of our AI work for the value we're creating. Now turning to our partnership strategy. Our partnership strategy is grounded in client demand. Demand for reinvention remains strong with our clients continuing to prioritize larger transformational programs focused on building their digital core and driving both efficiency and growth.μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ—¬λŸ¬ ν˜•νƒœμ˜ AIλ₯Ό ν†΅ν•©ν•˜λŠ” 보닀 ν™•μž₯된 μ—”λ“œνˆ¬μ—”λ“œ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μœΌλ‘œ μ „ν™˜ν•˜κ³  있으며, 첨단 AI에 λŒ€ν•œ 데이터λ₯Ό λ³„λ„λ‘œ λΆ„λ¦¬ν•˜λŠ” 것은 ν˜„μž₯μ—μ„œ μˆ˜μš”κ°€ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ μ§„ν™”ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ”μ§€, μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ°½μΆœν•˜λŠ” κ°€μΉ˜μ— λŒ€ν•œ AI μ—…λ¬΄μ˜ 전체 λ²”μœ„λ₯Ό λ°˜μ˜ν•˜μ§€ λͺ»ν•˜κΈ° λ•Œλ¬Έμ— μ˜λ―Έκ°€ 쀄어듀고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ „λž΅μœΌλ‘œ λ„˜μ–΄κ°€κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ „λž΅μ€ 고객 μˆ˜μš”μ— κΈ°λ°˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 재창쑰(reinvention)에 λŒ€ν•œ μˆ˜μš”λŠ” μ—¬μ „νžˆ κ°•λ ₯ν•˜λ©°, 고객듀은 λ””μ§€ν„Έ 핡심 ꡬ좕과 νš¨μœ¨μ„± 및 μ„±μž₯ 촉진에 μ΄ˆμ μ„ 맞좘 λŒ€κ·œλͺ¨ ν˜μ‹  ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨μ„ κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ μš°μ„ μ‹œν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Technology is front and center for every client, and the 60% of our revenue in Q1 from work we do with our top 10 ecosystem partners continue to outpace our overall growth. Given the importance of the broader technology ecosystem to our clients, we plan to continue providing insight into the role our top partners play in our growth by maintaining the metric we introduced at the end of FY '25, the percentage of our revenue tied to work with our top 10 ecosystem partners and its growth relative to our overall growth as it provides a clear view into our largest, most important partnerships.κΈ°μˆ μ€ λͺ¨λ“  κ³ κ°μ—κ²Œ κ°€μž₯ μ€‘μš”ν•œ μš”μ†Œμ΄λ©°, 1뢄기에 μƒμœ„ 10λŒ€ μƒνƒœκ³„ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ™€ ν•¨κ»˜ μˆ˜ν–‰ν•œ μ—…λ¬΄μ—μ„œ λ°œμƒν•œ 맀좜이 전체 맀좜의 60%λ₯Ό μ°¨μ§€ν•˜λ©° 전체 μ„±μž₯λ₯ μ„ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μƒνšŒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ³ κ°λ“€μ—κ²Œ κ΄‘λ²”μœ„ν•œ 기술 μƒνƒœκ³„κ°€ κ°–λŠ” μ€‘μš”μ„±μ„ κ³ λ €ν•˜μ—¬, λ‹Ήμ‚¬λŠ” FY '25 말에 λ„μž…ν•œ μ§€ν‘œ, 즉 μƒμœ„ 10λŒ€ μƒνƒœκ³„ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ™€μ˜ μ—…λ¬΄μ—μ„œ λ°œμƒν•˜λŠ” 맀좜 비쀑과 전체 μ„±μž₯ λŒ€λΉ„ ν•΄λ‹Ή 맀좜의 μ„±μž₯λ₯ μ„ 계속 μ œκ³΅ν•  κ³„νšμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ κ°€μž₯ 크고 μ€‘μš”ν•œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ— λŒ€ν•œ λͺ…ν™•ν•œ μ‹œκ°μ„ μ œκ³΅ν•˜κΈ° λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We also plan to continue to share our partnership strategy and how we're growing new businesses with an expanded group of partners. Most of our clients operate with a network of ecosystem partners to meet their enterprise needs. They rely on us to help integrate those partners and expect us to be the leader with the most relevant players across their enterprises, including new and emerging players. As a result, it is important that in addition to our top 10, we work with a broad set of partners that play important roles across enterprises.λ˜ν•œ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” ν™•λŒ€λœ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆ κ·Έλ£Ήκ³Ό ν•¨κ»˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ μ „λž΅κ³Ό μ‹ κ·œ 사업 μ„±μž₯ λ°©μ•ˆμ„ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ κ³΅μœ ν•  κ³„νšμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ˜ 고객사듀은 κΈ°μ—… λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό μΆ©μ‘±ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ μƒνƒœκ³„ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆ λ„€νŠΈμ›Œν¬λ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜μ—¬ μš΄μ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객사듀은 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆλ“€μ„ ν†΅ν•©ν•˜λŠ” 데 μžˆμ–΄ 우리의 지원을 ν•„μš”λ‘œ ν•˜λ©°, μ‹ κ·œ 및 μ‹ ν₯ 기업을 ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ—¬ κΈ°μ—… μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 κ°€μž₯ κ΄€λ ¨μ„± 높은 μ£Όμš” 업체듀과 ν•¨κ»˜ 리더 역할을 ν•΄μ£ΌκΈ°λ₯Ό κΈ°λŒ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ μƒμœ„ 10λŒ€ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆ 외에도 κΈ°μ—… μ „λ°˜μ—μ„œ μ€‘μš”ν•œ 역할을 μˆ˜ν–‰ν•˜λŠ” κ΄‘λ²”μœ„ν•œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆλ“€κ³Ό ν˜‘λ ₯ν•˜λŠ” 것이 μ€‘μš”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Many of these support specific functions such as digital manufacturing, product engineering, core banking and insurance, supply chain and finance, while others are helping clients advance their AI and data capabilities. Our partnerships are critical to our clients reinventing all parts of their enterprises. Together, they represent meaningful opportunities for growth and further strengthen our ability to deliver comprehensive end-to-end solutions. Over the past year in response to client demand, we've been expanding and, in some cases, forming new partnerships with emerging AI and data companies.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­ 쀑 μƒλ‹Ήμˆ˜λŠ” λ””μ§€ν„Έ 제쑰, μ œν’ˆ μ—”μ§€λ‹ˆμ–΄λ§, 핡심 λ±…ν‚Ή 및 λ³΄ν—˜, 곡급망, μž¬λ¬΄μ™€ 같은 νŠΉμ • κΈ°λŠ₯을 μ§€μ›ν•˜λ©°, λ‹€λ₯Έ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­λ“€μ€ 고객듀이 AI 및 데이터 μ—­λŸ‰μ„ ν–₯μƒμ‹œν‚€λŠ” 데 도움을 μ£Όκ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ€ 고객듀이 κΈ°μ—…μ˜ λͺ¨λ“  뢀문을 ν˜μ‹ ν•˜λŠ” 데 μžˆμ–΄ 맀우 μ€‘μš”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이듀 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ€ ν•¨κ»˜ μ„±μž₯을 μœ„ν•œ 의미 μžˆλŠ” 기회λ₯Ό λ‚˜νƒ€λ‚΄λ©°, 포괄적인 μ—”λ“œνˆ¬μ—”λ“œ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” 우리의 μ—­λŸ‰μ„ λ”μš± κ°•ν™”μ‹œν‚΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ§€λ‚œ ν•œ ν•΄ λ™μ•ˆ 고객 μˆ˜μš”μ— λŒ€μ‘ν•˜μ—¬, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ‹ ν₯ AI 및 데이터 κΈ°μ—…λ“€κ³Όμ˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ ν™•λŒ€ν•΄μ™”μœΌλ©°, 일뢀 κ²½μš°μ—λŠ” μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ ν˜•μ„±ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
And these -- and we will play a key role in helping our clients use these technologies, including creating new solutions and integrating and leveraging the synergies with their existing ecosystems. These evolving partnerships, which are laid out in our earnings presentation are a significant competitive advantage for us. Turning now to our strategic acquisitions. Earlier this week, we announced an agreement to acquire a 65% majority stake in DLB Associates, a U.S.-based leader in AI, data center engineering and consulting in the rapidly growing data center professional services market, an estimated $12 billion addressable market expected to double by 2030.그리고 μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ κ°œλ°œν•˜κ³  κΈ°μ‘΄ μƒνƒœκ³„μ™€μ˜ 톡합 및 μ‹œλ„ˆμ§€λ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜λŠ” 것을 ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ—¬, 고객듀이 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ κΈ°μˆ λ“€μ„ ν™œμš©ν•  수 μžˆλ„λ‘ λ•λŠ” 데 핡심적인 역할을 ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 싀적 λ°œν‘œ μžλ£Œμ— λͺ…μ‹œλœ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ§„ν™”ν•˜λŠ” νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­λ“€μ€ μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²Œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 μ „λž΅μ  μΈμˆ˜ν•©λ³‘μœΌλ‘œ λ„˜μ–΄κ°€κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 μ£Ό 초, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” DLB Associates의 μ§€λΆ„ 65% 인수 계약을 λ°œν‘œν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Along with our FY '25 acquisition of U.K.-based Soben, this meaningfully expands our capital projects, capabilities and presence in the high-growth data center consulting market. It also positions us to capture growth not only through the work we do with our -- helping our clients use AI, our primary business, but also in the opportunity created by the companies building the infrastructure to power AI. And this quarter, we also invested $374 million primarily in 6 strategic acquisitions.영ꡭ 기반의 Soben을 μΈμˆ˜ν•œ 2025 νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„μ™€ ν•¨κ»˜, μ΄λŠ” κ³ μ„±μž₯ 데이터센터 μ»¨μ„€νŒ… μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ 자본 ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ, μ—­λŸ‰ 및 μž…μ§€λ₯Ό 의미 있게 ν™•λŒ€ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ μ΄λŠ” λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ μ£Όμš” 사업인 고객의 AI ν™œμš©μ„ μ§€μ›ν•˜λŠ” 업무λ₯Ό ν†΅ν•œ μ„±μž₯뿐만 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ, AIλ₯Ό κ΅¬λ™ν•˜λŠ” 인프라λ₯Ό κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜λŠ” 기업듀이 μ°½μΆœν•˜λŠ” κΈ°νšŒμ—μ„œλ„ μ„±μž₯을 포착할 수 μžˆλŠ” μœ„μΉ˜λ₯Ό ν™•λ³΄ν•˜κ²Œ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 이번 뢄기에 μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 주둜 6건의 μ „λž΅μ  μΈμˆ˜μ— 3μ–΅ 7,400만 λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό νˆ¬μžν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We continue to invest for long-term market leadership while delivering significant value for our shareholders. Now let me summarize a few highlights for the quarter. Revenues grew 5% in local currency, reflecting nearly 4% organic growth and were broad-based across geographic markets and types of work. Excluding the 1% impact from our federal business, our revenues grew approximately 6% in local currency in Q1. Adjusted operating margin was 17%, an increase of 30 basis points compared to Q1 results last year and continues to include significant investments in our business and our people.μ €ν¬λŠ” μ£Όμ£Ό μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„κ»˜ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” λ™μ‹œμ— μž₯기적인 μ‹œμž₯ 리더십을 μœ„ν•œ 투자λ₯Ό μ§€μ†ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 이번 λΆ„κΈ°μ˜ μ£Όμš” 싀적을 μš”μ•½ν•΄ λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§€μΆœμ€ ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€ 5% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” μ•½ 4%의 유기적 μ„±μž₯을 λ°˜μ˜ν•œ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ§€μ—­ μ‹œμž₯κ³Ό 업무 μœ ν˜• μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 κ΄‘λ²”μœ„ν•˜κ²Œ λ‚˜νƒ€λ‚¬μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—°λ°©μ •λΆ€ μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ 1% 영ν–₯을 μ œμ™Έν•˜λ©΄, 1λΆ„κΈ° λ§€μΆœμ€ ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€ μ•½ 6% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ‘°μ • μ˜μ—…μ΄μ΅λ₯ μ€ 17%둜 전년도 1λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 30bp μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ—¬κΈ°μ—λŠ” 사업과 인λ ₯에 λŒ€ν•œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ νˆ¬μžκ°€ 계속 ν¬ν•¨λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We delivered adjusted EPS in the quarter of $3.94, which represents 10% growth compared to EPS last year. And finally, we delivered free cash flow of $1.5 billion and returned $3.3 billion to shareholders through accelerated repurchases and dividends this quarter. We also invested $374 million, primarily attributed to the 6 acquisitions in the quarter. With those high-level comments, let me turn to some of the details, starting with new bookings. New bookings were $20.9 billion for the quarter, representing 12% growth in U.S. dollars and 10% growth in local currency with an overall book-to-bill of 1.1.

Managed services' bookings were $11.1 billion with a book-to-bill of 1.2. Turning now to revenues. Revenues for the quarter were $18.7 billion at the top of our guided range, reflecting a 6% increase in U.S. dollars and 5% in local currency and a foreign exchange impact of 1.4%. Consulting revenues for the quarter were $9.4 billion, up 4% in U.S. dollars and 3% in local currency. Managed services' revenues were $9.3 billion, up 8% in U.S. dollars and 7% in local currency, driven by high single-digit growth in technology managed services which include application managed services and infrastructure managed services and mid-single-digit growth in operations.

In the Americas, revenue grew 4% in local currency. Excluding the 2% impact from our federal business, Americas grew 6% in local currency in the quarter. Growth was led by banking and capital markets, industrial and software platforms, partially offset by a decline in public service. Revenue growth was driven by the United States. In EMEA, we delivered 4% growth in local currency, led by growth in banking and capital markets, insurance and life sciences. Revenue growth was driven by the United Kingdom and Italy. In Asia Pacific, revenue grew 9% in local currency, led by growth in banking and capital markets, communications and media and public service.λ―Έμ£Ό μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œλŠ” ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ 맀좜이 4% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—°λ°©μ •λΆ€ μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ 2% 영ν–₯을 μ œμ™Έν•˜λ©΄, λ―Έμ£Ό 지역은 λ‹Ή 뢄기에 ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€ 6% μ„±μž₯ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ„±μž₯은 은행 및 μžλ³Έμ‹œμž₯, μ‚°μ—…μž¬, μ†Œν”„νŠΈμ›¨μ–΄ ν”Œλž«νΌ 뢀문이 μ£Όλ„ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, κ³΅κ³΅μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ λΆ€λ¬Έμ˜ κ°μ†Œλ‘œ 일뢀 μƒμ‡„λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 맀좜 μ„±μž₯은 미ꡭ이 κ²¬μΈν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Revenue growth was led by Japan and Australia. Before I move on, I want to briefly update you on the business optimization actions we initiated last quarter and completed in Q1 as part of executing our talent strategy. This year, we -- this quarter, we recorded $308 million in costs primarily related to employee severance, bringing the total for these actions over the past 6 months to $923 million. Our business optimization cost impacted operating margin, tax rate and EPS. The following comparisons exclude these impacts and reflect adjusted results. Now moving down the income statement. Gross margin for the quarter was 33.1% compared with 32.9% for the same period last year.맀좜 μ„±μž₯은 일본과 ν˜Έμ£Όκ°€ μ£Όλ„ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€μŒ λ‚΄μš©μœΌλ‘œ λ„˜μ–΄κ°€κΈ° 전에, 인재 μ „λž΅ μ‹€ν–‰μ˜ μΌν™˜μœΌλ‘œ μ§€λ‚œ 뢄기에 μ°©μˆ˜ν•˜μ—¬ 1뢄기에 μ™„λ£Œν•œ 사업 μ΅œμ ν™” μ‘°μΉ˜μ— λŒ€ν•΄ κ°„λž΅νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 뢄기에 주둜 직원 ν‡΄μ§κΈˆκ³Ό κ΄€λ ¨ν•˜μ—¬ 3μ–΅ 800만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λΉ„μš©μ„ κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ§€λ‚œ 6κ°œμ›”κ°„ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ‘°μΉ˜λ“€λ‘œ μΈν•œ 총 λΉ„μš©μ€ 9μ–΅ 2,300만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ— λ‹¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 사업 μ΅œμ ν™” λΉ„μš©μ€ μ˜μ—…μ΄μ΅λ₯ , μ„Έμœ¨, 그리고 μ£Όλ‹Ήμˆœμ΄μ΅(EPS)에 영ν–₯을 λ―Έμ³€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€μŒ 비ꡐ μˆ˜μΉ˜λ“€μ€ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 영ν–₯을 μ œμ™Έν•œ μ‘°μ • 싀적을 λ°˜μ˜ν•œ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 μ†μ΅κ³„μ‚°μ„œ ν•­λͺ©λ“€μ„ μ‚΄νŽ΄λ³΄κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 λΆ„κΈ° 맀좜총이읡λ₯ μ€ 33.1%둜 μ „λ…„ 동기 32.9% λŒ€λΉ„ μƒμŠΉν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Days services outstanding were 51 days compared to 47 days last quarter and 50 days in the first quarter of last year. Free cash flow for the quarter was $1.5 billion, resulting from cash generated by operating activities of $1.7 billion, net of property and equipment additions of $157 million. Our cash balance at November 30 was $9.6 billion compared with $11.5 billion at August 31. With regard to our ongoing objective to return cash to shareholders, in the first quarter, we accelerated our share buybacks and repurchased or redeemed 9.5 million shares for $2.3 billion at an average price of $245.32 per share.미수금 νšŒμ „μΌμˆ˜(DSO)λŠ” 51일둜 μ „λΆ„κΈ° 47일, μ „λ…„ 동기 1λΆ„κΈ° 50일과 λΉ„κ΅λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹ΉλΆ„κΈ° μž‰μ—¬ν˜„κΈˆνλ¦„μ€ 15μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ, μ˜μ—…ν™œλ™μœΌλ‘œ μΈν•œ ν˜„κΈˆμ°½μΆœ 17μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ μœ ν˜•μžμ‚° 투자 1μ–΅ 5,700만 λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό μ°¨κ°ν•œ κΈˆμ•‘μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 11μ›” 30일 κΈ°μ€€ ν˜„κΈˆμž”μ•‘μ€ 96μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ 8μ›” 31일의 115μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ™€ λΉ„κ΅λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ£Όμ£Όν™˜μ›μ΄λΌλŠ” 지속적인 λͺ©ν‘œμ™€ κ΄€λ ¨ν•˜μ—¬, 1뢄기에 μžμ‚¬μ£Ό λ§€μž…μ„ κ°€μ†ν™”ν•˜μ—¬ 950만 μ£Όλ₯Ό μ£Όλ‹Ή 평균 245.32λ‹¬λŸ¬μ— 23μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ 규λͺ¨λ‘œ λ§€μž… λ˜λŠ” μƒν™˜ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Also in November, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $1.63 per share, a 10% increase over last year for a total of $1 billion. So in summary, we are very pleased with our Q1 results, and we are focused on delivering Q2 and the year. Before I turn it back to Julie, let me provide an update on our commercial models. Our large base of fixed price work continues to grow and is a strong foundation for how we believe our commercial models will continue to evolve. In FY '25, about 60% of our work was fixed price, which is up about 10 points over the last 3 years.λ˜ν•œ 11μ›”μ—λŠ” μ£Όλ‹Ή 1.63λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λΆ„κΈ° λ°°λ‹ΉκΈˆμ„ μ§€κΈ‰ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ 10% μ¦κ°€ν•œ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 총 10μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ 규λͺ¨μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš”μ•½ν•˜μžλ©΄, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 1λΆ„κΈ° 싀적에 맀우 λ§Œμ‘±ν•˜κ³  있으며, 2뢄기와 μ—°κ°„ λͺ©ν‘œ 달성에 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Thank you, Angie. Starting with the demand environment, clients continue to prioritize their most strategic and large-scale transformational programs, which convert to revenue more slowly but position us at the center of the reinvention agendas. The pace of overall spending and discretionary spend in our market is at the same levels we have seen over the last year.

We are delivering strong results and taking market share in this environment because reinvention is critical to our clients and our clients know we deliver real reinvention with real outcomes. Let me turn to 4 strategic growth areas that are essential for enterprises to use technology, AI and data to achieve these outcomes. First, the digital core. Cloud, data and platform modernization remains foundational to every reinvention. When companies tell us they want to use AI, they quickly realize that AI is only as powerful as the data underneath it. Most organizations have mountains of data spread across systems, stored in different formats, often unreliable or incomplete.μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ ν™˜κ²½μ—μ„œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 싀적을 λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ³  μ‹œμž₯ μ μœ μœ¨μ„ ν™•λŒ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ™œλƒν•˜λ©΄ 재창쑰(reinvention)κ°€ κ³ κ°λ“€μ—κ²Œ 맀우 μ€‘μš”ν•˜λ©°, 고객듀은 μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ‹€μ§ˆμ μΈ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ™λ°˜ν•œ μ§„μ •ν•œ 재창쑰λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•œλ‹€λŠ” 것을 μ•Œκ³  있기 λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 기업듀이 기술, AI, 데이터λ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜μ—¬ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜λŠ” 데 ν•„μˆ˜μ μΈ 4κ°€μ§€ μ „λž΅μ  μ„±μž₯ μ˜μ—­μ— λŒ€ν•΄ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 첫째, λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν΄λΌμš°λ“œ, 데이터 및 ν”Œλž«νΌ ν˜„λŒ€ν™”λŠ” λͺ¨λ“  재창쑰의 기반으둜 남아 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 기업듀이 AIλ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜κ³  μ‹Άλ‹€κ³  말할 λ•Œ, 그듀은 AIκ°€ κ·Έ 기반이 λ˜λŠ” λ°μ΄ν„°λ§ŒνΌλ§Œ κ°•λ ₯ν•˜λ‹€λŠ” 것을 λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ κΉ¨λ‹«κ²Œ λ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ˜ 쑰직듀은 μ—¬λŸ¬ μ‹œμŠ€ν…œμ— λΆ„μ‚°λ˜μ–΄ 있고, μ„œλ‘œ λ‹€λ₯Έ ν˜•μ‹μœΌλ‘œ μ €μž₯λ˜μ–΄ 있으며, μ’…μ’… μ‹ λ’°ν•  수 μ—†κ±°λ‚˜ λΆˆμ™„μ „ν•œ λ°©λŒ€ν•œ μ–‘μ˜ 데이터λ₯Ό λ³΄μœ ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Before AI can create value, underlying data and the processes connected to it need to be simplified, cleaned, connected and properly governed. We help clients manage all their data wherever it may be and turn it into something they can access and use to make decisions, train models and uncover insights. We modernize their data platforms and make sure the data flows securely and consistently across the business so people can trust it and use it with confidence. We also use AI to improve data quality at scale. In the age of AI, data isn't just an input, it's the advantage.AIκ°€ κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•˜κΈ° 전에, κΈ°μ €μ˜ 데이터와 그에 μ—°κ²°λœ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€λ“€μ΄ λ‹¨μˆœν™”λ˜κ³ , μ •μ œλ˜κ³ , μ—°κ²°λ˜λ©°, 적절히 κ΄€λ¦¬λ˜μ–΄μ•Ό ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 고객듀이 데이터가 어디에 μžˆλ“  λͺ¨λ“  데이터λ₯Ό κ΄€λ¦¬ν•˜κ³ , 이λ₯Ό μ˜μ‚¬κ²°μ •μ„ 내리고, λͺ¨λΈμ„ ν•™μŠ΅μ‹œν‚€κ³ , μΈμ‚¬μ΄νŠΈλ₯Ό λ°œκ΅΄ν•˜λŠ” 데 μ ‘κ·Όν•˜κ³  ν™œμš©ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ „ν™˜ν•˜λ„λ‘ μ§€μ›ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κ³ κ°λ“€μ˜ 데이터 ν”Œλž«νΌμ„ ν˜„λŒ€ν™”ν•˜κ³ , 데이터가 λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 μ•ˆμ „ν•˜κ³  μΌκ΄€λ˜κ²Œ 흐λ₯΄λ„둝 ν•˜μ—¬ μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ΄ 이λ₯Ό μ‹ λ’°ν•˜κ³  확신을 κ°€μ§€κ³  μ‚¬μš©ν•  수 μžˆλ„λ‘ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” AIλ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜μ—¬ λŒ€κ·œλͺ¨λ‘œ 데이터 ν’ˆμ§ˆμ„ κ°œμ„ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

That's why we continue to see at least 1 out of every 2 advanced AI projects lead to a data project, and we're the partner that helps our clients unlock it. For example, Essity, a global leader in hygiene and health, is making advanced AI, including Agentic AI, core to how they run their business, starting with procurement and finance, setting the foundation for company-wide reinvention. We are helping Essity build a cloud-based data and AI platform that combines Accenture's deep industry and functional expertise with our ability to scale advanced AI.이것이 λ°”λ‘œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ΅œμ†Œ 2개의 κ³ κΈ‰ AI ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ 쀑 1κ°œκ°€ 데이터 ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈλ‘œ μ΄μ–΄μ§€λŠ” 것을 μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ λͺ©κ²©ν•˜λŠ” 이유이며, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 고객듀이 이λ₯Ό μ‹€ν˜„ν•  수 μžˆλ„λ‘ λ•λŠ” νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄, μœ„μƒ 및 건강 λΆ„μ•Όμ˜ κΈ€λ‘œλ²Œ 리더인 EssityλŠ” Agentic AIλ₯Ό ν¬ν•¨ν•œ κ³ κΈ‰ AIλ₯Ό λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ 운영의 ν•΅μ‹¬μœΌλ‘œ μ‚Όκ³  있으며, 쑰달 및 μž¬λ¬΄λΆ€ν„° μ‹œμž‘ν•˜μ—¬ 전사적 ν˜μ‹ μ˜ κΈ°λ°˜μ„ λ§ˆλ ¨ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” Essityκ°€ Accenture의 깊이 μžˆλŠ” μ‚°μ—… 및 κΈ°λŠ₯ μ „λ¬Έμ„±κ³Ό κ³ κΈ‰ AI ν™•μž₯ μ—­λŸ‰μ„ κ²°ν•©ν•œ ν΄λΌμš°λ“œ 기반 데이터 및 AI ν”Œλž«νΌμ„ κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜λ„λ‘ μ§€μ›ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

This foundation positions Essity to move decisively beyond pilots and reinvent end-to-end processes. unlocking new pathways to value and long-term growth. Security remains one of our fastest-growing businesses, growing very strong double digits this quarter. As cloud, data and AI connect more of the enterprise, the threat landscape expands quickly. We are using AI to detect threats earlier, respond faster and simplify complex environments.μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ—°κ°„ μˆ˜μ‹­λ§Œ 건의 ꡬ맀 주문을 μ²˜λ¦¬ν•˜λŠ” λŒ€λŸ‰ 업무 μ˜μ—­λΆ€ν„° μ‹œμž‘ν•˜κ³  있으며, 두 자릿수 생산성 ν–₯μƒμ˜ κΈ°νšŒκ°€ 맀우 ν½λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ κΈ°λ°˜μ€ Essityκ°€ 파일럿 단계λ₯Ό λ„˜μ–΄ κ³Όκ°ν•˜κ²Œ λ‚˜μ•„κ°€ μ—”λ“œνˆ¬μ—”λ“œ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€λ₯Ό μž¬μ°½μ‘°ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” μœ„μΉ˜μ— μ„œκ²Œ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이λ₯Ό 톡해 κ°€μΉ˜ 창좜과 μž₯κΈ° μ„±μž₯을 μœ„ν•œ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ 경둜λ₯Ό μ—΄μ–΄κ°€κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ³΄μ•ˆ 사업은 λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ κ°€μž₯ λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ μ„±μž₯ν•˜λŠ” 사업 쀑 ν•˜λ‚˜λ‘œ, 이번 뢄기에도 맀우 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 두 자릿수 μ„±μž₯을 κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν΄λΌμš°λ“œ, 데이터, AIκ°€ κΈ°μ—…μ˜ 더 λ§Žμ€ 뢀뢄을 연결함에 따라 μœ„ν˜‘ ν™˜κ²½λ„ λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ ν™•λŒ€λ˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” AIλ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜μ—¬ μœ„ν˜‘μ„ 쑰기에 νƒμ§€ν•˜κ³ , 더 λΉ λ₯΄κ²Œ λŒ€μ‘ν•˜λ©°, λ³΅μž‘ν•œ ν™˜κ²½μ„ λ‹¨μˆœν™”ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Companies cannot scale AI unless they can do so safely, and this continues to be an important growth engine. Building on our long-standing relationship, we are partnering with one of Saudi Arabia's leading financial institutions to build a robust internal cyber defense capability that is designed to protect the bank, meet rising regulatory expectations and enable the launch of modern, sustainable digital services. We helped the bank move from limited visibility to a far more advanced security position, expanding threat detection, reducing incident response times and are helping to improve their national cyber maturity scores.기업듀은 μ•ˆμ „ν•˜κ²Œ AIλ₯Ό ν™•μž₯ν•  수 μ—†λ‹€λ©΄ 규λͺ¨λ₯Ό ν‚€μšΈ 수 μ—†μœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ μ€‘μš”ν•œ μ„±μž₯ 동λ ₯이 되고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 였랜 ν˜‘λ ₯ 관계λ₯Ό λ°”νƒ•μœΌλ‘œ, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ‚¬μš°λ””μ•„λΌλΉ„μ•„μ˜ μ£Όμš” κΈˆμœ΅κΈ°κ΄€ 쀑 ν•œ κ³³κ³Ό νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ λ§Ίκ³  κ°•λ ₯ν•œ λ‚΄λΆ€ 사이버 λ°©μ–΄ μ—­λŸ‰μ„ κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 은행을 λ³΄ν˜Έν•˜κ³ , λ†’μ•„μ§€λŠ” 규제 μš”κ΅¬μ‚¬ν•­μ„ μΆ©μ‘±ν•˜λ©°, ν˜„λŒ€μ μ΄κ³  지속가λŠ₯ν•œ λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ μΆœμ‹œλ₯Ό κ°€λŠ₯ν•˜κ²Œ ν•˜λ„λ‘ μ„€κ³„λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” ν•΄λ‹Ή 은행이 μ œν•œμ μΈ κ°€μ‹œμ„±μ—μ„œ 훨씬 더 μ§„λ³΄λœ λ³΄μ•ˆ μˆ˜μ€€μœΌλ‘œ 이동할 수 μžˆλ„λ‘ μ§€μ›ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μœ„ν˜‘ 탐지λ₯Ό ν™•λŒ€ν•˜κ³ , 사고 λŒ€μ‘ μ‹œκ°„μ„ λ‹¨μΆ•ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, κ΅­κ°€ 사이버 μ„±μˆ™λ„ 점수λ₯Ό κ°œμ„ ν•˜λŠ” 데 도움을 μ£Όκ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We are also helping the bank achieve the full audit -- regulatory audit readiness, a critical requirement for trust and future growth. Now with Accenture's deep cybersecurity expertise, we will bring in specialized talent, strengthen governance and help with upskilling to accelerate their progress. With a stronger foundation and the internal capability to maintain it, the bank can now introduce new services with far greater confidence and is well positioned for its next phase of innovation.

Song continues to help B2B and B2C clients drive growth by improving how they connect with and shape the customers' experience, the marketing that first reaches them, the website or store where they buy, the service when they need help and the digital products they use every day by bringing together design, creative, data, technology and industry expertise to reinvent marketing, commerce, service and digital products. One example is our partnership with Virgin Media O2, one of the U.K.'s leading telecom providers, where we didn't just modernize technology, we worked together to transform the entire customer experience and how work gets done.Song은 B2B 및 B2C 고객듀이 μ„±μž₯을 견인할 수 μžˆλ„λ‘ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ§€μ›ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객 κ²½ν—˜μ„ ν˜•μ„±ν•˜κ³  μ—°κ²°ν•˜λŠ” 방식을 κ°œμ„ ν•¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨ - κ³ κ°μ—κ²Œ 처음 λ„λ‹¬ν•˜λŠ” λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…, ꡬ맀가 μ΄λ£¨μ–΄μ§€λŠ” μ›Ήμ‚¬μ΄νŠΈλ‚˜ λ§€μž₯, 도움이 ν•„μš”ν•  λ•Œμ˜ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€, 그리고 맀일 μ‚¬μš©ν•˜λŠ” λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ œν’ˆμ— 이λ₯΄κΈ°κΉŒμ§€ - λ””μžμΈ, ν¬λ¦¬μ—μ΄ν‹°λΈŒ, 데이터, 기술 및 μ‚°μ—… 전문성을 κ²°ν•©ν•˜μ—¬ λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…, 컀머슀, μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ 및 λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ œν’ˆμ„ μž¬μ°½μ‘°ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•œ κ°€μ§€ μ‚¬λ‘€λ‘œ 영ꡭ의 μ£Όμš” 톡신 μ‚¬μ—…μž 쀑 ν•˜λ‚˜μΈ Virgin Media O2μ™€μ˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ„ λ“€ 수 μžˆλŠ”λ°, μ—¬κΈ°μ„œ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” λ‹¨μˆœνžˆ κΈ°μˆ μ„ ν˜„λŒ€ν™”ν•˜λŠ” 것에 κ·ΈμΉ˜μ§€ μ•Šκ³  전체 고객 κ²½ν—˜κ³Ό 업무 μˆ˜ν–‰ 방식을 ν•¨κ»˜ ν˜μ‹ ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
By rebuilding their digital core and embedding advanced AI, nearly 10,500 service agents now work on a unified cloud platform with connected data and workflows. More than 300 customer journeys have been redesigned, simplifying processes and bringing the full customer context into a single view. These changes are helping agents resolve issues faster and more accurately, contributing to a 35% increase in Net Promoter Scores in some areas and same-day resolution, improving from approximately 65% 2 years ago to nearly 90% today.λ””μ§€ν„Έ 핡심을 μž¬κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜κ³  κ³ λ„ν™”λœ AIλ₯Ό λ‚΄μž¬ν™”ν•¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨, ν˜„μž¬ μ•½ 10,500λͺ…μ˜ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ 상담사가 μ—°κ²°λœ 데이터와 μ›Œν¬ν”Œλ‘œμš°λ₯Ό κ°–μΆ˜ 톡합 ν΄λΌμš°λ“œ ν”Œλž«νΌμ—μ„œ 업무λ₯Ό μˆ˜ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 300개 μ΄μƒμ˜ 고객 여정이 μž¬μ„€κ³„λ˜μ–΄ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€λ₯Ό κ°„μ†Œν™”ν•˜κ³  전체 고객 λ§₯락을 단일 ν™”λ©΄μœΌλ‘œ ν†΅ν•©ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ λ³€ν™”λŠ” 상담사듀이 문제λ₯Ό 더 λΉ λ₯΄κ³  μ •ν™•ν•˜κ²Œ ν•΄κ²°ν•˜λŠ” 데 κΈ°μ—¬ν•˜κ³  있으며, 일뢀 μ˜μ—­μ—μ„œ μˆœμΆ”μ²œκ³ κ°μ§€μˆ˜(Net Promoter Score)κ°€ 35% μ¦κ°€ν–ˆκ³ , 당일 ν•΄κ²°λ₯ μ΄ 2λ…„ μ „ μ•½ 65%μ—μ„œ ν˜„μž¬ 거의 90%둜 κ°œμ„ λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

This kind of change takes strategy, process and talent working in sync with Accenture Song bringing it all together to design experiences that resonate at scale so that Virgin Media O2 can drive innovation and set a new benchmark for customer service excellence. We also continue to grow in the core value chain of many industries through our Industry X offerings, growing mid-single digits this quarter.

Digital twins, predictive analytics, robotics and other AI-enabled technologies are creating new levels of efficiency and resilience. Those same strengths are now propelling our capital projects work where clients need us to design, build and commission critical infrastructure and extend Accenture deeper into their core value chains. Take North America's transit sector, agencies are facing mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure and meet growing ridership needs, efforts that require delivering multiyear, multibillion-dollar capital programs.λ””μ§€ν„Έ 트윈, 예츑 뢄석, λ‘œλ³΄ν‹±μŠ€ 및 기타 AI 기반 κΈ°μˆ λ“€μ΄ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ μˆ˜μ€€μ˜ νš¨μœ¨μ„±κ³Ό νšŒλ³΅νƒ„λ ₯성을 μ°½μΆœν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 강점듀은 ν˜„μž¬ 고객듀이 μ€‘μš” 인프라λ₯Ό 섀계, ꡬ좕 및 μ‹œμš΄μ „ν•˜κ³  Accentureλ₯Ό κ·Έλ“€μ˜ 핡심 κ°€μΉ˜μ‚¬μŠ¬ κΉŠμˆ™μ΄ ν™•μž₯ν•΄μ•Ό ν•˜λŠ” 자본 ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ 업무λ₯Ό μΆ”μ§„ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 뢁미의 λŒ€μ€‘κ΅ν†΅ 뢀문을 예둜 λ“€λ©΄, 각 기관듀은 λ…Έν›„ν™”λœ 인프라λ₯Ό ν˜„λŒ€ν™”ν•˜κ³  μ¦κ°€ν•˜λŠ” 승객 μˆ˜μš”λ₯Ό μΆ©μ‘±ν•΄μ•Ό ν•˜λŠ” λ§‰μ€‘ν•œ 압박에 직면해 있으며, μ΄λŠ” μˆ˜λ…„μ— 걸친 μˆ˜μ‹­μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ 규λͺ¨μ˜ 자본 ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨ 싀행을 ν•„μš”λ‘œ ν•˜λŠ” κ³Όμ œμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Partnering with one of the largest public transit agencies, we're applying our infrastructure and capital projects expertise to help transform how these critical programs are managed, spanning a vast network of subway stations, maintenance facilities, bus garages and administrative offices. By bringing together multiple data sources across their construction portfolio, we are helping to enable more informed decision-making, supported by rigorous project controls, advanced scheduling, cost and risk management, and safety and financial oversight to improve efficiency, transparency and forecasting, just as we do in manufacturing.μ£Όμš” λŒ€μ€‘κ΅ν†΅ κΈ°κ΄€ 쀑 ν•œ κ³³κ³Ό ν˜‘λ ₯ν•˜μ—¬, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 인프라 및 자본 ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ 전문성을 ν™œμš©ν•΄ μ§€ν•˜μ² μ—­, μ •λΉ„ μ‹œμ„€, λ²„μŠ€ μ°¨κ³ , ν–‰μ • μ‚¬λ¬΄μ†Œλ₯Ό μ•„μš°λ₯΄λŠ” κ΄‘λ²”μœ„ν•œ λ„€νŠΈμ›Œν¬μ— 걸쳐 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 핡심 ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨λ“€μ΄ κ΄€λ¦¬λ˜λŠ” 방식을 ν˜μ‹ ν•˜λŠ” 데 κΈ°μ—¬ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 건섀 포트폴리였 μ „λ°˜μ˜ μ—¬λŸ¬ 데이터 μ†ŒμŠ€λ₯Ό ν†΅ν•©ν•¨μœΌλ‘œμ¨, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ œμ‘°μ—…μ—μ„œμ™€ λ§ˆμ°¬κ°€μ§€λ‘œ μ—„κ²©ν•œ ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ ν†΅μ œ, κ³ λ„ν™”λœ 일정 관리, λΉ„μš© 및 리슀크 관리, μ•ˆμ „ 및 재무 감독을 톡해 νš¨μœ¨μ„±, 투λͺ…μ„±, 예츑 정확도λ₯Ό κ°œμ„ ν•˜κ³ , 보닀 정보에 κΈ°λ°˜ν•œ μ˜μ‚¬κ²°μ •μ„ κ°€λŠ₯ν•˜κ²Œ ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Now let me share how we're seeing demand evolve with the work we're doing in advanced AI. It is early innings, which means there is significant opportunity ahead. Technology is rapidly evolving. While enterprise adoption at scale is nascent, demand continues to grow, and IDC estimates that the total addressable market for advanced AI is expected to grow more than 40% through 2029 from roughly $20 billion today to over $70 billion.

Over the last 9 quarters, we've seen about 100 incremental clients initiate advanced AI projects with us each quarter, but most have a lot of work to do before they will be able to scale across the enterprise, and it is still a relatively small part of our client base, over 1,300 clients to date out of 9,000. So we see lots of opportunity to help those who have initiated and to expand in our existing clients as well as attract new clients. Clients increasingly understand that advanced AI is not a quick fix. Adopting it successfully requires foundational work to deliver P&L impact and other critical outcomes.μ§€λ‚œ 9개 λΆ„κΈ° λ™μ•ˆ λ§€ λΆ„κΈ°λ§ˆλ‹€ μ•½ 100개의 μ‹ κ·œ 고객사가 당사와 ν•¨κ»˜ κ³ λ„ν™”λœ AI ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈλ₯Ό μ‹œμž‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ˜ 고객사듀은 μ „μ‚¬μ μœΌλ‘œ ν™•λŒ€ν•˜κΈ° 전에 ν•΄μ•Ό ν•  μž‘μ—…μ΄ 많이 λ‚¨μ•„μžˆμœΌλ©°, 전체 고객사 9,000개 쀑 ν˜„μž¬κΉŒμ§€ 1,300개 κ³ κ°μ‚¬λ‘œ μ—¬μ „νžˆ μƒλŒ€μ μœΌλ‘œ μž‘μ€ 비쀑을 μ°¨μ§€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ λ‹Ήμ‚¬λŠ” 이미 μ‹œμž‘ν•œ 고객사듀을 μ§€μ›ν•˜κ³ , κΈ°μ‘΄ 고객사 λ‚΄μ—μ„œ ν™•λŒ€ν•˜λ©°, μ‹ κ·œ 고객사λ₯Ό μœ μΉ˜ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” λ§Žμ€ κΈ°νšŒκ°€ μžˆλ‹€κ³  λ΄…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객사듀은 κ³ λ„ν™”λœ AIκ°€ λΉ λ₯Έ 해결책이 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌλŠ” 점을 점점 더 μ΄ν•΄ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이λ₯Ό μ„±κ³΅μ μœΌλ‘œ λ„μž…ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œλŠ” μ†μ΅κ³„μ‚°μ„œ(P&L) μž„νŒ©νŠΈμ™€ 기타 핡심 μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•œ 기초 μž‘μ—…μ΄ ν•„μš”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
This is why our clients, and the broader ecosystem are turning to us to help bridge the gap between powerful technology and achieving real, measurable results. The real opportunity is not proving AI works, it is making it work everywhere. Scaling AI means working with all forms of AI and means embedding it across critical processes, so it transforms outcomes. For example, we are partnering with Bristol-Myers Squibb, a global biopharmaceutical leader, to transform how therapies move from discovery to market by embedding AI at scale across the organization. Drawing on its deep life sciences experience, BMS is using AI to accelerate innovation and expand its impact for patients.이것이 λ°”λ‘œ 우리 고객듀과 더 넓은 μƒνƒœκ³„κ°€ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 기술과 μ‹€μ§ˆμ μ΄κ³  μΈ‘μ • κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ μ„±κ³Ό 달성 μ‚¬μ΄μ˜ 간극을 λ©”μš°κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²Œ μ˜μ§€ν•˜λŠ” μ΄μœ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ§„μ •ν•œ κΈ°νšŒλŠ” AIκ°€ μž‘λ™ν•œλ‹€λŠ” 것을 증λͺ…ν•˜λŠ” 것이 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ, AIλ₯Ό λͺ¨λ“  κ³³μ—μ„œ μž‘λ™ν•˜κ²Œ λ§Œλ“œλŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

This assumes the impact of FX will be approximately positive 3.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal '25. Our Q2 guidance reflects an estimated 1% to 5% growth in local currency, including about a 1% impact from our federal business. For the full fiscal '26, based upon how the rates have been trending over the last few weeks, we continue to assume that the impact of FX on our results in U.S. dollars will be approximately positive 2% compared to fiscal '25. For the full fiscal '26, we continue to expect revenue to be in the range of 2% to 5% growth in local currency over fiscal '25, including an estimated 1% impact from our Federal business.μ΄λŠ” 25νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 2λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ μ™Έν™˜μ˜ 영ν–₯이 μ•½ ν”ŒλŸ¬μŠ€ 3.5%κ°€ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ κ°€μ •ν•œ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ 2λΆ„κΈ° κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λŠ” μ—°λ°©μ •λΆ€ μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ μ•½ 1% 영ν–₯을 ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ—¬ ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€ 1%μ—μ„œ 5%의 μ„±μž₯을 λ°˜μ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 26νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 전체에 λŒ€ν•΄μ„œλŠ”, μ§€λ‚œ λͺ‡ μ£Όκ°„μ˜ ν™˜μœ¨ μΆ”μ„Έλ₯Ό κ°μ•ˆν•  λ•Œ, λ―Έκ΅­ λ‹¬λŸ¬ κΈ°μ€€ 당사 싀적에 λŒ€ν•œ μ™Έν™˜μ˜ 영ν–₯이 25νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ λŒ€λΉ„ μ•½ ν”ŒλŸ¬μŠ€ 2%κ°€ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 계속 κ°€μ •ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 26νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 전체에 λŒ€ν•΄, λ‹Ήμ‚¬λŠ” μ—°λ°©μ •λΆ€ μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ μ•½ 1% 영ν–₯을 ν¬ν•¨ν•˜μ—¬ 25νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ λŒ€λΉ„ ν˜„μ§€ν†΅ν™” κΈ°μ€€ 2%μ—μ„œ 5% λ²”μœ„μ˜ 맀좜 μ„±μž₯을 μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Excluding the impact of Federal, our revenue is expected to be an estimated 3% to 6%. This year, we continue to expect an inorganic contribution of about 1.5% and we continue to expect to invest about $3 billion in acquisitions this fiscal year with the potential to do more. For adjusted operating margin, we continue to expect fiscal year '26 to be 15.7% to 15.9%, a 10 to 30 basis point expansion over adjusted fiscal '25 results. We continue to expect our annual adjusted effective tax rate to be in the range of 23.5% to 25.5%.

We continue to expect our full year adjusted diluted earnings per share for fiscal '26 to be in the range of $13.52 to $13.90, or 5% to 8% growth over adjusted fiscal '25 results. Due to slightly higher business optimization costs in the quarter, which were $58 million above our original Q1 estimates, we now expect GAAP EPS of $13.12 to $13.50. For the full fiscal '26, we continue to expect operating cash flow to be in the range of $10.8 billion to $11.5 billion, property and equipment additions to be approximately $1 billion, and free cash flow to be in the range of $9.8 billion to $10.5 billion. Our free cash flow guidance reflects a very strong free cash flow to net income ratio of 1.2.μ €ν¬λŠ” 26νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 전체 μ‘°μ • 희석 μ£Όλ‹Ήμˆœμ΄μ΅μ΄ 13.52λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 13.90λ‹¬λŸ¬ λ²”μœ„μ— μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 계속 μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  있으며, μ΄λŠ” μ‘°μ •λœ 25νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 싀적 λŒ€λΉ„ 5%μ—μ„œ 8% μ„±μž₯에 ν•΄λ‹Ήν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 뢄기에 사업 μ΅œμ ν™” λΉ„μš©μ΄ λ‹Ήμ΄ˆ 1λΆ„κΈ° μΆ”μ •μΉ˜λ³΄λ‹€ 5,800만 λ‹¬λŸ¬ μ†Œν­ 증가함에 따라, ν˜„μž¬ GAAP κΈ°μ€€ μ£Όλ‹Ήμˆœμ΄μ΅μ€ 13.12λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 13.50λ‹¬λŸ¬κ°€ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 26νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 전체에 λŒ€ν•΄μ„œλŠ” μ˜μ—…ν˜„κΈˆνλ¦„μ΄ 108μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 115μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ λ²”μœ„, μœ ν˜•μžμ‚° νˆ¬μžκ°€ μ•½ 10μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬, 그리고 μž‰μ—¬ν˜„κΈˆνλ¦„μ΄ 98μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 105μ–΅ λ‹¬λŸ¬ λ²”μœ„μ— μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 계속 μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 저희 μž‰μ—¬ν˜„κΈˆνλ¦„ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λŠ” 순이읡 λŒ€λΉ„ 1.2λ°°λΌλŠ” 맀우 κ°•λ ₯ν•œ μž‰μ—¬ν˜„κΈˆνλ¦„ λΉ„μœ¨μ„ λ°˜μ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We continue to expect to return at least $9.3 billion through dividends and share repurchases, an increase of $1 billion or 12% from fiscal '25. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.63 per share to be paid on February 13, a 10% increase over last year. We remain committed to returning a substantial portion of our cash generated to our shareholders. With that, let's open it up so that we can take your questions. Alexia? Alexia Quadrani

Tien-Tsin Huang: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Julie, I appreciate your comments on scaling AI and how it's not a quick fix. So I did want to ask or maybe comment that we've noticed a bit of a shift in how people view the consulting industry's role in AI. Do you agree with this, Julie? And if so, why now? What's driving the change? And are you seeing any impact on business activity as a result of that?**Tien-Tsin Huang:** AI ν™•μž₯κ³Ό λΉ λ₯Έ 해결책이 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌλŠ” 점에 λŒ€ν•œ 말씀 κ°μ‚¬λ“œλ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 여쭀보고 싢은 게, μ»¨μ„€νŒ… μ—…κ³„μ˜ AI 역할에 λŒ€ν•œ μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ˜ μ‹œκ°μ΄ 쑰금 λ°”λ€Œκ³  μžˆλ‹€λŠ” κ±Έ 저희가 κ°μ§€ν–ˆλŠ”λ°μš”.

CEO & Chairman: Thanks, Tien-Tsin. Yes, we're absolutely seeing the shift. And it's really because of what we've been saying for a while, right? Enterprise AI is fundamentally different than consumer AI. Consumer AI adoption is instant, right? In the enterprise, you can't adopt it unless you have the right security. You've done the right work around processes and most companies have fragmented and siloed processes. You have to have the right data, and most companies have mountains of data with a lot of issues in the data, and we call it, they have process debt, they have data debt. And of course, they need a modern digital core. And that's why so many companies are still early in the journey. Clients -- our clients are convinced AI is going to be a very important part of their future, and it's going to allow them to unlock brand-new value. And that's why they're coming to us because now they want to actually get there. And that's the foundational work that's driving our business. And then when you look at our bigger deals over the last quarter, for example, you see that advanced AI is a bigger part of those deals, but you also see that it's both growth and cost because clients are not only fixated on the productivity side, you cannot cut your way to growth. And in this market, they need to find more growth. And this is where our strength really comes in, and that's why we're delivering strong quarters, right? We have great momentum this quarter because we can help them on the growth agenda and the cost agenda. And we're so critical with our ecosystem partners. We understand where the technology is and where it's going. And you saw that again this quarter with our growth, with our top 10 ecosystem partners outpacing overall and then, of course, some exciting new partnerships.**CEO & Chairman:** λ„€, κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§μ”€ν•˜μ‹  λ³€ν™”λ₯Ό ν™•μ‹€νžˆ μ²΄κ°ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” 저희가 계속 κ°•μ‘°ν•΄μ˜¨ λ‚΄μš©κ³Ό λ§₯을 같이 ν•˜λŠ”λ°μš”, κΈ°μ—…μš© AIλŠ” μ†ŒλΉ„μžμš© AI와 근본적으둜 λ‹€λ¦…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ†ŒλΉ„μžμš© AIλŠ” μ¦‰κ°μ μœΌλ‘œ λ„μž…μ΄ κ°€λŠ₯ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ, κΈ°μ—… ν™˜κ²½μ—μ„œλŠ” μ μ ˆν•œ λ³΄μ•ˆμ΄ κ°–μΆ°μ§€μ§€ μ•ŠμœΌλ©΄ λ„μž… μžμ²΄κ°€ λΆˆκ°€λŠ₯ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€μ™€ κ΄€λ ¨λœ 사전 μž‘μ—…λ„ μ œλŒ€λ‘œ 이루어져야 ν•˜λŠ”λ°, λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ˜ 기업듀은 λΆ„μ ˆλ˜κ³  μ‚¬μΌλ‘œν™”λœ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€λ₯Ό κ°€μ§€κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ μ μ ˆν•œ 데이터가 ν•„μš”ν•œλ°, λŒ€λ‹€μˆ˜ 기업듀은 λ°©λŒ€ν•œ μ–‘μ˜ 데이터λ₯Ό λ³΄μœ ν•˜κ³  μžˆμ§€λ§Œ 데이터 μžμ²΄μ— λ§Žμ€ λ¬Έμ œμ λ“€μ„ μ•ˆκ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” 이λ₯Ό ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€ 뢀채(process debt), 데이터 뢀채(data debt)라고 λΆ€λ¦…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ¬Όλ‘  ν˜„λŒ€μ μΈ λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄(digital core)도 ν•„μˆ˜μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ΄μœ λ“€λ‘œ 인해 λ§Žμ€ 기업듀이 아직 μ—¬μ •μ˜ 초기 단계에 머물러 μžˆλŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객듀은 AIκ°€ λ―Έλž˜μ— 맀우 μ€‘μš”ν•œ 뢀뢄이 될 것이라고 ν™•μ‹ ν•˜κ³  있으며, AIλ₯Ό 톡해 μ™„μ „νžˆ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•  수 μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 보고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 고객듀이 저희λ₯Ό μ°Ύμ•„μ˜€λŠ” 것이고, 이제 μ‹€μ œλ‘œ κ·Έ λͺ©ν‘œλ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κ³ μž ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 기초 μž‘μ—…μ΄ λ°”λ‘œ 우리 λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€λ₯Ό κ²¬μΈν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Tien-Tsin Huang: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division All right. Perfect. And sort of a related question, you mentioned the partners. I'll ask around these AI partnerships. You announced a bunch, Anthropic, OpenAI, Snowflake, et cetera. Just how might these partnerships on the AI front be different than other tech ecosystem partnerships in terms of we think about time to productivity or investments to certify personnel to scale it up, et cetera. Just your thoughts on that and how quickly might these AI partners get to the top 10 on the partner front?**Tien-Tsin Huang:** μ•Œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 κ΄€λ ¨λœ μ§ˆλ¬ΈμΈλ°μš”, νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆ κ΄€λ ¨ν•΄μ„œ λ§μ”€ν•˜μ…¨λŠ”λ°, AI νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ— λŒ€ν•΄ μ—¬μ­€λ³΄κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

CEO & Chairman: Well, first of all, the partnerships really demonstrate our talent advantage. So we've got decades of experience in being able to learn new technologies, skill people, who else could have hundreds of thousands of people, helping our biggest partnerships continue to grow incredibly well and be able to dedicate and commit 30,000 people here, et cetera. So I think that's a really important part of what you're seeing with us in our growth and our ability to grow into new areas is that we've got this foundation of great talent and the ability to upskill. And look, we're expanding in these partnerships because of what we see in client demand, but our clients have an ecosystem of partners.

Jason Kupferberg: Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division I actually wanted to pick up where Tien-Tsin just left off. I was curious as a follow-on regarding these big partnerships in the AI world, when do they start moving the needle on revenue in your view? It's obviously critical to lay the foundation right now, but is this a next 12-month dynamic where we can start to see it showing up in the P&L perhaps? Or is it longer dated?

CEO & Chairman: Jason, what I would say is these partnerships are part of an ecosystem for our clients. And so it's I think more about the market itself, right? So our enterprise adoption is dependent on clients -- these partnerships are all about enterprise adoption. So I would focus more on how the market and enterprise adoption is going as opposed to specifically -- because we can scale as fast as needed.

Jason Kupferberg: Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division Okay. Understood. And then I wanted to pick up on your comments about the increased adoption of the fixed price work because I think it ties in with a trend we've been seeing in your numbers where revenue growth is outpacing headcount growth pretty materially and consistently. So do you feel like that trend is sustainable? And what's really driving that? Because we've all been talking about nonlinear revenue growth for a very long time, and it seems like Accenture is now actually starting to see it.**Jason Kupferberg:** λ„€, 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§μ”€ν•˜μ‹  νŠΈλ Œλ“œλŠ” μ‹€μ œλ‘œ 지속 κ°€λŠ₯ν•˜λ‹€κ³  λ΄…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 맀좜 μ„±μž₯이 인λ ₯ 증가λ₯Ό 크게 μƒνšŒν•˜λŠ” ν˜„μƒμ€ μ—¬λŸ¬ μš”μΈμ΄ λ³΅ν•©μ μœΌλ‘œ μž‘μš©ν•œ κ²°κ³Όμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

James Faucette: Morgan Stanley, Research Division Want to follow-up on a couple of things that have been said by Tien-Tsin and Jason. First, back on AI and those bookings. I appreciate that those are -- AI is becoming integral to all of your engagements and so maybe define specific bookings, et cetera, on a go-forward basis makes sense. But how should we think about like the mix between what we could think of as proof-of-concept type engagements versus going into full production? And any color you can give on the types of projects that are moving to production, whether that be by industry or type, et cetera?**James Faucette:** AI κ΄€λ ¨ μˆ˜μ£Όμ— λŒ€ν•΄ ν‹°μ—”μ‹ κ³Ό 제이슨이 λ§μ”€ν•˜μ‹  λ‚΄μš©μ— λŒ€ν•΄ λͺ‡ κ°€μ§€ μΆ”κ°€ μ§ˆλ¬Έμ„ λ“œλ¦¬κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ¨Όμ €, AIκ°€ λͺ¨λ“  ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈμ— ν•„μˆ˜μ μœΌλ‘œ ν†΅ν•©λ˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μ„œ μ•žμœΌλ‘œλŠ” νŠΉμ • 수주λ₯Ό λ³„λ„λ‘œ μ •μ˜ν•˜λŠ” 것이 μ˜λ―Έκ°€ μžˆμ„ 수 μžˆλ‹€λŠ” 점은 μ΄ν•΄ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그런데 κ°œλ… 증λͺ…(proof-of-concept) ν˜•νƒœμ˜ ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈμ™€ 본격적인 ν”„λ‘œλ•μ…˜ λ‹¨κ³„λ‘œ μ§„μž…ν•˜λŠ” ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ κ°„μ˜ 비쀑을 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ 이해해야 ν• κΉŒμš”? 그리고 ν”„λ‘œλ•μ…˜μœΌλ‘œ μ „ν™˜λ˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈλ“€μ— λŒ€ν•΄ μ‚°μ—…λ³„μ΄λ‚˜ μœ ν˜•λ³„λ‘œ μ–΄λ–€ νŠΉμ§•μ΄ μžˆλŠ”μ§€ 말씀해 μ£Όμ‹€ 수 μžˆμ„κΉŒμš”?
CEO & Chairman: Sure. Great question. So first of all, one of the things that I think is important to understand is that people have moved ahead away from just thinking about models, right? It's about models embedded in solutions, and most of the solutions involve different kinds of AI, right? So you have -- if you have classical AI or RPA that is 100% accurate, right, depending on what you're using, you really have to understand all of that. And that's what the clients are looking to us for, is to bring them more solutions, which is why our partnerships are really important, and our understanding of the industry and the function is so important. So if you're doing something in banking, which is one of the industries where there's a lot going on at advanced AI, know your customer and compliance. The solution they're looking for, you have to understand the actual compliance, how it works across the bank. And that's really the importance -- now of you're seeing that people get that these are about solutions, it's about really understanding operations, and that's what we're bringing. If you look at sort of where things are scaling into production, customer -- so a lot of customer service, and I gave one of the examples today on the call with the Virgin Media O2, you're also seeing areas like finance and procurement. And so these are areas where you've got good technology readiness, we have a lot of depth of understanding here, and you can move relatively quickly because it's using a lot of usually pretty good data. We see a lot of value coming and being embedded in the core value chain, the grid and utilities, right, pharma and R&D. But those are the harder areas to crack. And so it's still pretty early in terms of scaling, but that kind of gives you a flavor for it. And so any of the industries that have a lot of customer service are there. Banking has been one of the lighthouses, insurance to some extent already. But one of the things I tell my clients is that in every industry, unlike prior waves of technology, there are leaders in every industry who already had strong digital cores who are leapfrogging. It's very different than cloud where you had some industries like, say, energy lagging behind for quite some time. It's quite different this time. And that really plays to our strengths because we have that diversity of industry expertise, and our clients look to us to really bring it across the board.**CEO & Chairman:** 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°μ„  μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ²Œ μ΄ν•΄ν•˜μ…”μ•Ό ν•  점은, μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ΄ 이제 λ‹¨μˆœνžˆ λͺ¨λΈλ§Œ μƒκ°ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμ—μ„œ λ²—μ–΄λ‚¬λ‹€λŠ” κ²λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄μ œλŠ” μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ— λ‚΄μž¬λœ λͺ¨λΈμ— κ΄€ν•œ 것이고, λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ˜ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ€ λ‹€μ–‘ν•œ μ’…λ₯˜μ˜ AIλ₯Ό ν¬ν•¨ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄ ν΄λž˜μ‹ AIλ‚˜ RPA(λ‘œλ΄‡ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€ μžλ™ν™”)κ°€ μžˆλ‹€λ©΄ μ‚¬μš©ν•˜λŠ” 것에 따라 100% 정확도λ₯Ό κ°€μ§ˆ 수 μžˆλŠ”λ°, 이 λͺ¨λ“  것을 μ œλŒ€λ‘œ 이해해야 ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ°”λ‘œ 이 λΆ€λΆ„μ—μ„œ 고객듀이 저희λ₯Ό μ°ΎλŠ” κ²λ‹ˆλ‹€. 더 λ§Žμ€ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ μ œκ³΅λ°›κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œμ£ . κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μ €ν¬μ˜ νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ΄ 정말 μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ³ , μ‚°μ—…κ³Ό κΈ°λŠ₯에 λŒ€ν•œ μ €ν¬μ˜ 이해가 맀우 μ€‘μš”ν•œ κ²λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄ μ€ν–‰μ—…μ—μ„œ 무언가λ₯Ό ν•˜κ³  μžˆλ‹€λ©΄, 이 산업은 κ³ κΈ‰ AIκ°€ 많이 ν™œμš©λ˜λŠ” λΆ„μ•Ό 쀑 ν•˜λ‚˜μΈλ°, 고객 확인(KYC)μ΄λ‚˜ μ»΄ν”ŒλΌμ΄μ–ΈμŠ€ 같은 것듀이 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그듀이 μ°Ύκ³  μžˆλŠ” μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ μ΄ν•΄ν•˜λ €λ©΄, 은행 μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 μ‹€μ œ μ»΄ν”ŒλΌμ΄μ–ΈμŠ€κ°€ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ μž‘λ™ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ νŒŒμ•…ν•΄μ•Ό ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 그것이 λ°”λ‘œ μ€‘μš”ν•œ μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ΄ 이것이 μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ— κ΄€ν•œ 것이고, μ‹€μ œλ‘œ μš΄μ˜μ„ μ΄ν•΄ν•˜λŠ” 것에 κ΄€ν•œ κ²ƒμž„μ„ κΉ¨λ‹«κ³  μžˆλ‹€λŠ” 것이죠. 그리고 그것이 λ°”λ‘œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Chief Financial Officer: Yes. I think -- so as it relates to pricing, so just overall, I think you have to look at it in totality. And so as you think about our pricing, one of the things, and we've been seeing, and it's early, but we're seeing pricing improve in several parts of our business. And as you look, one of the things that we're super pleased about is that our contract profitability, we're starting to see some of that improved pricing show up in the P&L and we saw that this quarter.

CEO & Chairman: All right, Bryan, I'm not waiting around for it to come back, okay? So just to be clear, we have not been waiting around for it to come back. So I know you guys are, but we're delivering our results despite it because we really -- at this point, we haven't seen a change in the market. And when you look around, like we're all reading the same thing. We saw what came out in the U.S. this week on jobs. If -- there isn't some catalyst out there where we're saying that's the catalyst that's going to change confidence or change industries. And look, we work across industries. Every industry right now has got a different set of challenges with a lot of these big macro trends. And so we're not having conversations today that would suggest that there's a big -- going to be a change in discretionary spending. But what the conversations we are having, though, is CEOs who are just like Accenture, they're very resolute that they have to deliver results despite the market. And that's why we're focused on pivoting the way they're spending. We're focused on doing the large transformational deals and then being at the center so that when we hopefully do get tailwinds, we're there to really benefit from them. But we're not seeing a catalyst. We'd love to hear it if you guys are in the external environment and our conversations haven't changed, but people are -- they're going to deliver despite that.**CEO & Chairman:** μ•Œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€, Bryan. μ €ν¬λŠ” μ‹œμž₯이 λŒμ•„μ˜€κΈ°λ₯Ό κ·Έλƒ₯ 기닀리고 μžˆμ§€ μ•ŠμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λΆ„λͺ…νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬μžλ©΄, μ €ν¬λŠ” μ‹œμž₯ νšŒλ³΅μ„ 기닀리며 손 놓고 μžˆμ§€ μ•Šμ•˜μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„μ€ κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ μƒκ°ν•˜μ‹€ 수 μžˆμ§€λ§Œ, μ €ν¬λŠ” κ·ΈλŸΌμ—λ„ λΆˆκ΅¬ν•˜κ³  싀적을 λ‚΄κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν˜„μ‹œμ μ—μ„œ μ‹œμž₯의 λ³€ν™”λ₯Ό 보지 λͺ»ν–ˆκΈ° λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 주변을 λ‘˜λŸ¬λ³΄λ©΄, 우리 λͺ¨λ‘ 같은 λ‚΄μš©μ„ 읽고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 μ£Ό λ―Έκ΅­μ—μ„œ λ°œν‘œλœ 고용 μ§€ν‘œλ„ λ΄€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν˜„μž¬λ‘œμ„œλŠ” μ‹ λ’°λ₯Ό λ³€ν™”μ‹œν‚€κ±°λ‚˜ 산업을 λ³€ν™”μ‹œν‚¬ μ΄‰λ§€μ œκ°€ 될 λ§Œν•œ 것이 μ—†μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” μ—¬λŸ¬ 산업에 걸쳐 μΌν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ”λ°, μ§€κΈˆ λͺ¨λ“  산업이 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 큰 κ±°μ‹œμ  νŠΈλ Œλ“œλ“€λ‘œ 인해 각기 λ‹€λ₯Έ κ³Όμ œλ“€μ„ μ•ˆκ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ ν˜„μž¬ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ λ‚˜λˆ„λŠ” λŒ€ν™”λ“€μ„ 보면 μž¬λŸ‰μ  μ§€μΆœ(discretionary spending)에 큰 λ³€ν™”κ°€ μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμ΄λΌλŠ” μ‹ ν˜ΈλŠ” μ—†μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€λ§Œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ λ‚˜λˆ„κ³  μžˆλŠ” λŒ€ν™”μ˜ λ‚΄μš©μ€, CEO듀이 앑센츄어와 λ§ˆμ°¬κ°€μ§€λ‘œ μ‹œμž₯ 상황과 관계없이 λ°˜λ“œμ‹œ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‚΄μ•Ό ν•œλ‹€λŠ” ν™•κ³ ν•œ μ˜μ§€λ₯Ό κ°€μ§€κ³  μžˆλ‹€λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κ³ κ°λ“€μ˜ μ§€μΆœ 방식을 μ „ν™˜ν•˜λŠ” 데 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λŒ€κ·œλͺ¨ ν˜μ‹  ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ(transformational deals)λ₯Ό μ€‘μ‹¬μœΌλ‘œ ν•˜κ³ , κ·Έ 쀑심에 μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μžλ¦¬μž‘μ•„μ„œ μ‹œμž₯에 μˆœν’μ΄ 뢈기 μ‹œμž‘ν•˜λ©΄ κ·Έ ν˜œνƒμ„ μΆ©λΆ„νžˆ λˆ„λ¦΄ 수 μžˆλ„λ‘ ν•˜λŠ” 것이죠.

CEO & Chairman: Yes. Well, one of the things that I think as you think about our positioning in the market is that these fixed price deals really are about our clients having confidence that we can deliver outcomes. And to do that, you've got to have our scale, our experience, our strong financials. And so we see that it is a real competitive advantage in this market where clients cannot simply experiment, they can't take a flyer. They have to know that when they're investing with a partner, they're going to deliver results. And that's why we feel the market now continue -- we're taking market share because of that. So I can't predict exactly, I mean, I think commercial models are going to continue. We believe they're going to continue to evolve, and we've got a really strong foundation for that. And we are starting to see more focus on trying to get to outcome-based. So I think more to come in the models, but it really strength -- it speaks to the underlying strength of our business. And then with respect to pricing and passing it along to our clients, remember, this has been a business model for the industry really all the way going back to the introduction of technology and RPA, right, where we're signing contracts that depend on our use of more technology over time to provide productivity. And so that's still the commercial model of the industry right now.**CEO & Chairman:** λ„€, μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ 우리의 포지셔닝을 생각해보면, κ³ μ •κ°€ 계약은 μ‹€μ œλ‘œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‚Ό 수 μžˆλ‹€λŠ” 고객의 확신에 κ΄€ν•œ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 이λ₯Ό μœ„ν•΄μ„œλŠ” 우리의 규λͺ¨, κ²½ν—˜, νƒ„νƒ„ν•œ μž¬λ¬΄κ΅¬μ‘°κ°€ ν•„μš”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 이것이 ν˜„μž¬ μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ μ§„μ •ν•œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„λΌκ³  λ΄…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객듀은 λ‹¨μˆœνžˆ μ‹€ν—˜ν•  수 μ—†κ³ , λͺ¨ν—˜μ„ ν•  수 μ—†μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ™€ νˆ¬μžν•  λ•Œ κ²°κ³Όλ₯Ό λ‚Ό κ²ƒμ΄λΌλŠ” 확신이 μžˆμ–΄μ•Ό ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ μ§€κΈˆ μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ μ‹œμž₯ μ μœ μœ¨μ„ ν™•λŒ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ •ν™•νžˆ μ˜ˆμΈ‘ν•  μˆ˜λŠ” μ—†μ§€λ§Œ, 상업 λͺ¨λΈμ€ 계속 μ§„ν™”ν•  것이라고 μƒκ°ν•˜κ³ , μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κ·Έλ₯Ό μœ„ν•œ 정말 νƒ„νƒ„ν•œ κΈ°λ°˜μ„ κ°–μΆ”κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ„±κ³Ό 기반(outcome-based) λͺ¨λΈλ‘œ μ „ν™˜ν•˜λ €λŠ” μ›€μ§μž„μ΄ λ”μš± ν™œλ°œν•΄μ§€λŠ” 것을 λͺ©κ²©ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ λͺ¨λΈ μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œ μ•žμœΌλ‘œ 더 λ§Žμ€ λ³€ν™”κ°€ μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ 보이며, μ΄λŠ” μ‹€μ œλ‘œ 우리 μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ 근본적인 강점을 λ³΄μ—¬μ£ΌλŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 가격 μ±…μ •κ³Ό κ³ κ°μ—κ²Œ λΉ„μš©μ„ μ „κ°€ν•˜λŠ” 것과 κ΄€λ ¨ν•΄μ„œλŠ”, 이것이 μ—…κ³„μ˜ λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ λͺ¨λΈμ΄μ—ˆλ‹€λŠ” 점을 κΈ°μ–΅ν•˜μ…”μ•Ό ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 기술과 RPA(λ‘œλ΄‡ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€ μžλ™ν™”)κ°€ λ„μž…λœ μ‹œμ λΆ€ν„° μ­‰ κ·Έλž˜μ™”μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ‹œκ°„μ΄ 지남에 따라 더 λ§Žμ€ κΈ°μˆ μ„ ν™œμš©ν•˜μ—¬ 생산성을 μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” 것을 μ „μ œλ‘œ 계약을 체결해 μ™”μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 이것이 ν˜„μž¬ μ—…κ³„μ˜ 상업적 λͺ¨λΈμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Bryan Bergin: TD Cowen, Research Division Wanted to ask on the growth side, so just really the moving parts as you consider the fiscal '26 growth outlook from here. So you -- from the 2% to 5% after a solid 1Q at the top end, 2Q looks largely as expected, yet the Federal headwind is actually a bit less than the lower -- than the prior range. So it sounds like demand is broadly consistent. So the question is, what may have precluded a low-end raise just considering that low end raise had deterioration assumed before? Just curious, is there anything incremental there or just ongoing uncertainty and just prudent approach just given this early in the fiscal year?**Bryan Bergin:** 26νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ μ„±μž₯ 전망에 λŒ€ν•΄ μ§ˆλ¬Έλ“œλ¦¬κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—¬λŸ¬ λ³€μˆ˜λ“€μ„ κ³ λ €ν•  λ•Œ 말이죠. 1뢄기에 κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ 상단에 κ·Όμ ‘ν•œ κ²¬μ‘°ν•œ 싀적을 κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆκ³ , 2뢄기도 λŒ€μ²΄λ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλŒ€λ‘œ μ§„ν–‰λ˜κ³  있으며, μ—°λ°©μ •λΆ€ λΆ€λ¬Έμ˜ 역풍도 이전 λ²”μœ„μ˜ ν•˜λ‹¨λ³΄λ‹€λŠ” λ‹€μ†Œ μ™„ν™”λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 2%μ—μ„œ 5% μ„±μž₯λ₯ μ„ μœ μ§€ν•˜κ³  κ³„μ‹ λ°μš”. μ „λ°˜μ μΈ μˆ˜μš”λŠ” μΌκ΄€λ˜κ²Œ μœ μ§€λ˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ λ“€λ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλ ‡λ‹€λ©΄ μ§ˆλ¬Έμ€, κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€ ν•˜λ‹¨μ„ 상ν–₯ μ‘°μ •ν•˜μ§€ μ•Šμ€ μ΄μœ κ°€ 무엇인지 κΆκΈˆν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이전에 ν•˜λ‹¨μ—λŠ” μ•…ν™” 상황이 λ°˜μ˜λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμ—ˆλ˜ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ•„λŠ”λ°μš”. 좔가적인 λ³€μˆ˜κ°€ μžˆλŠ” 건지, μ•„λ‹ˆλ©΄ νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ μ΄ˆλ°˜μ΄λΌλŠ” 점을 κ°μ•ˆν•΄ μ§€μ†λ˜λŠ” λΆˆν™•μ‹€μ„±μ— λŒ€ν•œ μ‹ μ€‘ν•œ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식인지 κΆκΈˆν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

I wanted to dig in, and I appreciate the detail you gave in the slides. Can you just talk about the implications for Song growth?

CEO & Chairman: SOAR is a great example of something we embrace and are helping our clients embrace because what SOAR does is help them accelerate production. And so it's like a really good tool, but it's just a tool, right? So what Accenture does is say, how do you use these tools to actually get productivity differently to, more importantly, create the right new products and the new experience. And that's why one of the things I was mentioning earlier was that if you look kind of at our largest deals this quarter, a big proportion of them have customer and customer service in it because clients need growth. And the tools are just a productivity piece. They're not what you can do to -- how do you actually respond to social media sentiment in an hour, right, which is what we can do in our operations around marketing, for example. So we see Song as critical because again, can't cut your way to growth. The market's not getting better overall for our clients, and they're really turning to us to find the new ways and to help them use these tools in the meantime to get more productivity.**CEO & Chairman:** SOARλŠ” μš°λ¦¬κ°€ 적극 ν™œμš©ν•˜κ³  있고 고객듀도 ν™œμš©ν•  수 μžˆλ„λ‘ μ§€μ›ν•˜λŠ” ν›Œλ₯­ν•œ μ‚¬λ‘€μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Wolfe Research, LLC: Julie, what does the revenue opportunity look like at a client that has done all of the digital core work required to be effectively leveraging AI as much as you'd like to see? And then maybe just a quick follow-on would be just around managed service opportunity and what that looks like, really trying to get a sense if you have any customers that are really at that stage that you can give us examples of whether it's a net increase to revenue and the opportunities you have and different services that could help a client out that has the digital core ready.**Wolfe Research, LLC:** λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄ μž‘μ—…μ„ λͺ¨λ‘ μ™„λ£Œν•˜μ—¬ AIλ₯Ό 효과적으둜 ν™œμš©ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” μ€€λΉ„κ°€ 된 고객의 경우, 맀좜 κΈ°νšŒκ°€ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ λ³΄μ΄λŠ”μ§€ 말씀해 μ£Όμ‹œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆκΉŒ? 그리고 κ°„λ‹¨ν•œ 후속 질문으둜 λ§€λ‹ˆμ§€λ“œ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€(managed service) κΈ°νšŒμ™€ κ·Έ 전망에 λŒ€ν•΄μ„œλ„ μ—¬μ­™κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ‹€μ œλ‘œ κ·Έ 단계에 λ„λ‹¬ν•œ 고객 사둀가 μžˆμœΌμ‹ μ§€, 그리고 그것이 μ‹€μ œλ‘œ 맀좜 μ¦κ°€λ‘œ μ΄μ–΄μ§€λŠ”μ§€, λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄κ°€ μ€€λΉ„λœ 고객을 지원할 수 μžˆλŠ” λ‹€μ–‘ν•œ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ κΈ°νšŒλ“€μ΄ μ–΄λ–€ 것듀이 μžˆλŠ”μ§€ ꡬ체적으둜 νŒŒμ•…ν•˜κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
CEO & Chairman: Darrin, it's a great question and what we're seeing is it's really expanding our work. So think about you've built a digital core. Now of course, just keep in mind, there's still a lot to do in the digital core because there's so much new opportunities and new ways of thinking about data, for example, than if you built your data foundation a few years ago. So there's still a fair amount of work to do even if you've got a pretty modernized digital core. But the real work, and this is why I think it's so important to understand how you adopt AI, is that you have to then change the processes, you have to upskill your talent, right? One of the things I talk to CEOs a lot about is that if someone comes to you and says, here's how we do something today, now we're going to use AI and there isn't a big change, then they're not going to get value. And most of the work today has been around sort of isolated areas. It hasn't been across the enterprise. And so what you're seeing is we talked a little bit also about this last quarter, this inflection point where you've got now clients saying to us, okay, we have to do this across the enterprise. How do we think differently? Like how do we put marketing and sales and service together and they used to be in different functions. What does that mean then for the use of AI? So the actual rewiring is a huge amount of work. And remember, the technology today, like it's great in some parts of the enterprise. But like if you think about manufacturing or engineering where we've had been investing for decades, it's still early in the digitization journey even for those who have a core. So we have lots of great examples, and that's why I talk about to our clients. Look, where people have already invested a lot, they're investing with us now to try to leapfrog. And that's where we are so different because we're tech, but we have the industry and the functional and the process and the change management, which is what unlocks the enterprise AI. So we really see a big opportunity over the next decade.**CEO & Chairman:** 정말 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬κ°€ 보고 μžˆλŠ” 것은 μ‹€μ œλ‘œ 우리의 업무 μ˜μ—­μ΄ ν™•μž₯되고 μžˆλ‹€λŠ” μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄λ₯Ό κ΅¬μΆ•ν–ˆλ‹€κ³  μƒκ°ν•΄λ³΄μ„Έμš”. λ¬Όλ‘  λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄μ—μ„œλ„ μ—¬μ „νžˆ ν•΄μ•Ό ν•  일이 λ§Žλ‹€λŠ” 점을 λͺ…심해야 ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄ λ°μ΄ν„°λ§Œ 해도, λͺ‡ λ…„ 전에 데이터 κΈ°λ°˜μ„ κ΅¬μΆ•ν–ˆλ‹€λ©΄ μ§€κΈˆμ€ μ™„μ „νžˆ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ κΈ°νšŒλ“€κ³Ό μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ 사고방식듀이 있기 λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ μƒλ‹Ήνžˆ ν˜„λŒ€ν™”λœ λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ½”μ–΄λ₯Ό κ°–μΆ”κ³  μžˆλ‹€ ν•˜λ”λΌλ„ μ—¬μ „νžˆ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ μž‘μ—…μ΄ ν•„μš”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Chief Financial Officer: Yes. Kevin, we're really pleased with the 30 basis points of op margin expansion that we posted this quarter, which was in line with our expectations. And certainly, our operating margin is affected by the level of investments that we do throughout the year. So we're really pleased that we're reconfirming the 10 to 30 basis points for the full year. As it relates to EPS, I do want to make one point, really pleased with the 10% growth that we posted this quarter, strong operational results, op margin expansion as well as gains on investments. But there's one thing that I do -- there's 2 things that I want to call out as it relates to Q2 specifically for your awareness and how we're thinking about it. First is that we expect our tax rate in Q2 to be above our full year guided range due to the tax impact of equity compensation. And then second is that we had higher gains on investments in Q2 of last year, and we don't expect the same for this year. But importantly, there's no change to our overall adjusted -- our full year guidance for adjusted op margin, tax or EPS.

Chief Financial Officer: David, so as it relates to our health and public service, really, we saw strength in -- we told you about federal, and we know that and that came in better than we expected.
