Jack Abuhoff, CEO, said, "Our third quarter marked another record-setting performance for Innodata, with revenue, profitability, and cash all at all-time highs. Looking ahead, in 2026, we anticipate a continuation of our transformative growth, fueled by (1) deepening relationships with the world's leading Big Tech and AI innovation labs, as evidenced by verbal confirmation of an expansion with our largest customer that could potentially result in substantial revenue, verbal confirmation of a deal with another Big Tech which could potentially result in $6.5 million of annualized revenue runrate, and five new Big Tech customers we have either landed or expect to finalize shortly, two of which are global leaders in commerce, cloud and AI; and (2) strong early returns from seven major investment areas, several of which we are announcing today, including:

• Pre-Training Data: Earlier this year we recognized that model quality is increasingly tied to the quality of pre-training data. Acting early, we invested in new pre-training data capabilities, and that bet is already paying off. We've since signed contracts we believe could result in approximately $42 million of revenue, and we expect to soon sign contracts we believe could result in approximately $26 million of additional revenue. So that's $68 million of potential revenue from these programs that are either signed or likely to be signed soon. These programs are ramping now.

• Federal Practice: As announced today, we have launched Innodata Federal, led by AI veterans with deep defense and intelligence experience. The business unit has engaged a new, high-profile customer. We believe the initial project with this customer will result in approximately $25 million of revenue, mostly in 2026. We have additional projects under discussion with this customer. We see this new relationship as a potential major catalyst for growth and visibility as the U.S. government accelerates AI adoption across agencies.

  As we announced today, General (Retired) Richard D. Clarke, a retired four-star Army general and former Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, has joined the Innodata board. We are excited about his expertise and relationships in helping guide the trajectory of Innodata Federal.

• Sovereign AI: Around the world, governments are moving to build sovereign AI capability - controlling the full technology stack from silicon to data. Innodata is in active discussions with several sovereign AI programs and expects to announce one or more strategic partnerships in 2026. We view this as one of the most significant structural shifts in the global AI ecosystem and an enormous medium-term opportunity for us.

• Enterprise AI: Our Enterprise AI Practice helps companies embed generative AI into products and operations. We're working with major platforms to automate workflows, integrate real-time analytics into data-center operations, and re-engineer business processes using GenAI. We're pleased with the rapid acceleration in business we are experiencing in this market.

• Agentic AI: We believe Agentic AI will unlock the next wave of enterprise productivity. We're working with leading companies to develop and benchmark autonomous agents across real-world use cases - measuring consistency, reliability, and efficiency.

• Model Safety: As models and agents gain autonomy, ensuring safety, reliability, and ethical integrity becomes mission critical. We're engaged with leading companies to stress-test their multimodal AI products against risks like data exfiltration, instruction manipulation, and privilege escalation. Our work in this area is informed by insights we have gathered and technologies we have developed working with frontier model builders.

Based on updated forecasts, we reiterate guidance we provided last quarter of 45% or more year-over-year organic revenue growth in 2025, and we anticipate continued transformative growth in 2026 based on new wins and strong momentum."

Abuhoff concluded, "Taken together, we believe the developments we are announcing today mark a company entering its next phase of transformative growth - profitable, increasingly diversified, and positioned squarely at the center of the AI revolution."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP ("GAAP"), we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results. In some respects, management believes non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of our ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents by making adjustments that management believes are reflective of the ongoing performance of the business.

We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency by providing investors a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future, particularly by providing the same information that management and our Board of Directors use to evaluate our performance and manage the business. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures that we present may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenues less direct operating costs attributable to Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, non-recurring severance and other one-time costs included within direct operating cost.

We define Adjusted Gross Margin by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit over total U.S. GAAP revenues.

We use Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to evaluate results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believe that these measures are important components of our internal performance measurement process.

A reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables that accompany this release.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets (which derives EBITDA), plus additional adjustments for loss on impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, non-recurring severance, and other one-time costs.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believe that these measures are important components of our internal performance measurement process.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables that accompany this release.
