CI&T Inc. reported its third-quarter 2026 financial results on November 11. The company achieved 14.9% organic constant-currency revenue growth alongside an adjusted gross profit margin expansion to 36.6%. Boosted by accelerating enterprise artificial intelligence deployments, management raised the lower bound of its full-year revenue outlook to $568 million.
Financial statements confirmed third-quarter adjusted gross profit reached $53.5 million, up 24.0% compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA reached $22.6 million, with the adjusted EBITDA margin improving 220 basis points sequentially to 15.5%. "Our third quarter shows AI deployment translating into economics, as our value-based commercial models allow revenue to grow faster than our team," Cesar Gon, Founder and CEO of CI&T, noted in earnings releases reported by Business Wire and MarketBeat. Net profit for the third quarter totaled $7.6 million, yielding diluted earnings per share of $0.06 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.09. Cash generated from operations reached $22.4 million during the quarter and $40.2 million across the nine-month period.
Operational data showed revenue diversification beyond the company's historical marquee accounts. Revenue generated from clients outside the top ten largest enterprise relationships expanded by 17.1% year-over-year, outperforming headline expansion rates. The digital consultancy advanced partnerships with frontier foundational models, scaling over 50 client transformation projects across banking, healthcare, and retail sectors. Management reported that annualized revenue per technical specialist reached $82.5 thousand in the third quarter, representing a 9.9% gain over 2025.
Anchored by third-quarter execution and positive bookings momentum, the board raised the lower end of its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $568.0 million. Management anticipates full-year organic constant-currency growth between 16% and 18%. During the third quarter, CI&T allocated $2.9 million toward discretionary share repurchases under its ongoing capital return authorization. The board affirmed that capital allocation will prioritize disciplined investments in proprietary AI delivery tooling.
