Second-quarter results

CI&T Inc (NYSE:CINT), the digital technology services group with operations centred in Brazil, reported second-quarter 2026 results on 11 August 2026. Revenue was US$142.8 million, up 21.9 per cent from US$117.2 million a year earlier, and up 14.1 per cent at constant currency.

Profitability did not keep pace. Adjusted EBITDA fell 11.8 per cent to US$19.0 million from US$21.5 million, a margin of 13.3 per cent. Profit for the period was US$5.8 million against US$9.7 million, and adjusted profit was US$8.7 million. Diluted Earnings per Share were US$0.05, compared with US$0.07, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were US$0.07.

Guidance, not results

The company guided to third-quarter revenue of at least US$145.7 million, which it described as growth of 14.4 per cent, or 12.3 per cent at constant currency. For 2026 it guided to revenue of US$565.5 million to US$577.8 million, which it said implies organic growth of 15.5 per cent to 18.0 per cent.

It also guided to a full-year adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.0 per cent to 17.0 per cent. Both estimates assume an average Exchange Rate of 5.17 Brazilian reais to the dollar. These are forecasts, and currency movements are one of the variables that could change them.

The third-quarter floor is about 2 per cent above second-quarter revenue. The second-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.3 per cent sits below the bottom of the full-year range, so the guidance would require a higher margin later in the year.

Second-quarter revenue annualised is about US$571 million, close to the middle of the full-year revenue range.

Balance sheet

Cash and cash equivalents were US$53.4 million at 30 June 2026, up from US$47.9 million at the end of 2025. Loans and borrowings totalled US$135.8 million, of which US$91.4 million was current and US$44.5 million non-current.

The filing states that the company complied with its covenant of net Debt to EBITDA of 3.0 times or less as of 31 December 2025.

With a large part of the debt falling due within twelve months, refinancing and cash generation are fair subjects for the next report. Cash of US$53.4 million covers roughly 58 per cent of the current loans and borrowings.

Recent corporate news

On 14 October 2026, CI&T said it had reached the Preferred tier of the Claude Partner Network after more than 50 projects with Claude. Partnership news with Mistral was announced on 15 July and the launch of an enterprise offering on 17 August. Their commercial terms and financial effects are not described here.

What to watch

The next results are estimated for 11 November 2026, though a company confirmation was not found. The main measures to watch are revenue against the US$145.7 million floor, adjusted EBITDA margin progress, net debt and the effect of the Brazilian real on reported results.
