Geographic Performance and Key Deal Wins
Management highlighted a well-diversified geographic business model. The US geography witnessed 17% YoY revenue growth for the full year, driven by insurance and ECM-led banking wins. APAC geography witnessed 14% YoY revenue growth for the full year. India and EMEA remained the largest revenue contributors, though both faced headwinds — India from subdued large license deal closures and EMEA from geopolitical uncertainty in West Asia, which also slowed collections and affected overall DSO. The company added 47 new customer logos during the year, and the number of customers with billing over INR5 crore grew from 87 in FY25 to 101 in FY26.

Management Commentary on AI, Margins, and Outlook
CEO Virender Jeet stated that the NewgenONE platform embeds Agentic AI into its low-code fabric, enabling organizations to move toward autonomous, policy-safe decision-making while maintaining traceability and governance — particularly relevant for regulated industries such as banking and insurance. The company invested approximately 8.5% of revenues on R&D and around 22% of revenues on sales and marketing during the year. Newgen filed 12 patents during FY26 and was granted 2 patents; as of the call date, the company holds 67 patent filings and 25 patent grants.
On employee costs, management noted approximately 6% reduction in headcount YoY, driven by AI-led engineering efficiencies and lower implementation demand from muted license growth, while campus hiring of 300–400 professionals continues. The global workforce stands at approximately 4,300 professionals. On margins, management indicated that adjusted net margins at approximately 21% are healthy, and that margins could expand if revenue growth reaches higher teens, or remain similar if growth is in lower teens.
On the order book, management confirmed it grew approximately 13% YoY on a comparable basis. Deferred revenues increased from approximately INR220 crore to approximately INR300 crore, driven by subscription license sales and ATS renewal contracts, particularly from Australia, UK, and US markets. Management indicated that AI is viewed as an opportunity rather than a headwind, and estimated a potential 2%–3% pricing pressure on streams contributing roughly 40% of revenues due to client AI budget reallocations, but noted new customer additions could offset this.
