CI&T Reports Strong Q2 Earnings with Revenue Growth, Margin Expansion, and AI-Driven Initiatives
CI&T (CINT) reported second-quarter net revenue of $142.8 million for the period ending August 11, 2026, reflecting a strong performance driven by organic growth of 21.9% year over year. The company exceeded its guidance and raised full-year revenue expectations to between $566 million and $578 million, projecting continued momentum in key verticals such as Financial Services (36% YoY) and Technology & Telecommunications (68% YoY). Adjusted gross margin expanded significantly from 30.6% to 32.4%, supported by the adoption of value-based commercial models. The company also highlighted a growing sales pipeline, up 40% year over year, driven by increased investments in its commercial engine and rising demand for AI deployment. CI&T's adjusted EBITDA reached $19 million with a margin of 13.3%, though it faced an $1.8 million headwind from foreign exchange fluctuations. The company reported strong growth across regions, particularly Latin America (32.1% YoY), and maintained healthy attrition levels at 10.1%. Management also emphasized the reskilling of its workforce to focus on AI development. Despite these positives, CI&T noted a temporary softness in demand for consumer goods services, which saw a 9% decline year over year. The CFO highlighted foreign exchange headwinds as another challenge affecting EBITDA margins.
