The decision to hold the AGM virtually allows members to attend remotely without physical presence requirements.

The company’s Board of Directors approved the virtual format in compliance with specific MCA directives. The meeting structure follows the General Circulars dated April 08, 2020, April 13, 2020, and May 05, 2020. Additionally, it aligns with the latest General Circular No. 03/2025, issued by the MCA on September 22, 2025. These circulars collectively permit companies to hold general meetings through electronic modes. The company also cited relevant circulars from SEBI as part of its compliance framework. This adherence ensures that the proceedings remain legally valid and binding on all shareholders.

The Annual Report, which includes the Notice of the AGM, the Board's Report, and the Auditor's Report, will be distributed electronically. Documents will be sent to members who have registered their email addresses with Coforge Limited or their Depository Participants. This digital distribution method streamlines access to critical governance documents.

Shareholders are advised to ensure their contact details are updated with their depository participants to receive these materials.

Key Meeting Details

The intimation was signed by Barkha Sharma, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, on July 29, 2026. The notice was submitted to both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) for record-keeping purposes.

Coforge Limited reported a consolidated net profit (PAT) of ₹5,186 Mn for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 110% year-on-year increase from ₹2,472 Mn in the corresponding period. The surge was driven by a 49% YoY growth in revenue from operations to ₹55,277 Mn (USD 592.2 Mn), reflecting strong demand in AI-led engineering and data services. This performance underscores the company’s operational leverage and successful monetization of its strategic acquisitions, particularly Encora, which contributed significantly to the top line post-integration.

The Board of Directors, meeting on July 27, 2026, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Statutory Auditors S R Batliboi & Associates LLP issued unmodified limited review reports on both sets of accounts. Alongside the results, the Board declared an interim dividend of ₹4 per equity share, with August 03, 2026, fixed as the record date. Shareholders are eligible for payment within 30 days of declaration.

Financial Performance Recap

Coforge’s EBITDA margin expanded by 285 basis points to 20.3% in Q1FY27, compared to 17.5% in Q1FY26, highlighting improved operational efficiency. Profit before tax (PBT) rose sharply to ₹7,021 Mn from ₹3,654 Mn in the prior year period. The next twelve-month signed order book grew 44% YoY to USD 2.23 billion, reinforcing future revenue visibility. EBIT reached USD 94.5 Mn (+80.0% YoY), while free cash flow stood at USD 52.9 Mn, yielding an FCF/PAT ratio of 95.3% in Q1FY27 versus -56.5% in Q1FY26.

Strategic Insights from the Call

During the earnings conference call held on July 28, 2026, Chief Executive Officer Sudhir Singh emphasized that 86% of revenues originated from AI-led engineering, data, and cloud services. He noted that the 21.1% sequential growth and 33.3% YoY growth in US dollar terms reflect the strength of the firm’s differentiated capabilities. The Americas segment remained the largest revenue contributor at 61.8% share, followed by Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at 27.0%. The company reported improved LTM attrition at 10.4%, down from 10.8% in the previous quarter, indicating better talent retention amidst aggressive hiring for AI roles. Total headcount reached 46,228, with net adds of 10,451 YoY.

Corporate Developments

Beyond financials, the Board approved the re-appointment of OP Bhatt as Independent Director and Chairperson for a second term from May 01, 2027, to April 30, 2032, subject to shareholder approval. Additionally, the Board in-principally approved setting up an entity in China for operational expansion. The transcript provides additional clarity on these strategic moves and their expected impact on long-term growth trajectories.

What the Numbers Show

The combination of high single-digit order book growth and double-digit margin expansion suggests Coforge is successfully monetizing its AI investments. With EBITDA margins reaching 20.3%, the company is demonstrating pricing power and operational efficiency. However, investors should monitor the amortization costs from the Encora acquisition, which stood at ₹1,117 Mn in Q1FY27, as these non-cash expenses may pressure reported profits in subsequent quarters despite strong operational cash flows. Organic EBIT margin expanded by 486 bps YoY to 16.7%, indicating underlying business strength beyond acquisition-related impacts.
