IBEX The company reported record quarterly revenue and EPS, exceeding expectations and leading to a raise in fiscal year guidance. Growth was driven by strong operational performance, market share gains, and advancements in AI solutions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBEX Limited (“ibex”), a leading provider in global business process outsourcing and end-to-end customer engagement technology solutions, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.

“Ibex continued to carry forward the momentum built over the past two years, and delivered an outstanding second quarter with revenue growth of 17% to a record $164.2 million and adjusted EPS growth of 46%,” said Bob Dechant, ibex CEO. “This terrific performance is a direct result of exceptional operational delivery for our blue chip clients, enabling us to win significant market share from our competitors.

Second Quarter Review and Fiscal 2026 Business Outlook

“In the second quarter we continued to build on the momentum we’ve generated over the past twelve months. Our strong quarterly revenue performance was again led by meaningful growth in our higher margin geographies, services, and vertical markets, particularly in HealthTech. This combination of drivers led to a record quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $20.7 million,” said Taylor Greenwald, CFO of ibex.

“As we look ahead to the second half of the fiscal year, our robust balance sheet is enabling us to make opportunistic investments to further extend our current AI leadership position. Additionally, with the clear returns we’ve already seen, we are proactively investing in increased sales resources as well as capacity in our top performing geographies, positioning us for further success in the years ahead. Considering our outperformance in fiscal 2026 thus far, we are confident in further raising our revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year.”

Financial Information

This announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in Financial Accounting Standards ASC 270, “Interim Reporting.” The financial information in this press release has not been audited.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more helpful depiction of our performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and manageable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income / (loss) or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities for the period, or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with GAAP.

ibex is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, non-recurring expenses, foreign currency gains and losses, and stock-based compensation expense. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
