Cesar Gon, Founder and CEO of CI&T, commented: “Our third quarter shows AI deployment translating into economics. Adjusted gross margin reached 36.6%, up 420 basis points from the prior quarter, as our value-based commercial models and CI&T FLOW allow revenue to grow faster than our team. Growth remains broad-based: revenue from clients outside our top 10 grew 17.1%, ahead of our largest accounts. Adjusted EBITDA improved 220 basis points sequentially, and the commercial investments we made this year are expanding our pipeline and bringing in new clients. With that momentum, we are raising the low end of our full-year revenue outlook to US$568.0 million, now expecting 16% to 18% organic growth in 2026. CI&T builds, delivers and scales AI impact across the enterprise, with measurable business outcomes, and this quarter’s numbers show it.”
