Record Revenues of $100.4 million and GAAP Net Income of $2.9 million

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDYN) ("Grid Dynamics" or the "Company"), a leader in enterprise-level digital transformation, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

We are pleased to report first quarter 2025 revenues of $100.4 million, slightly above our outlook range of $98.0 million to $100.0 million that we provided in February 2025.

Retail remained our largest vertical accounting for 31.4% of total revenues during the first quarter of 2025. The Finance vertical demonstrated the strongest performance, with revenues increasing 7.9% sequentially and 144.3% on a year-over-year basis. This growth was driven by strong demand from our fintech, banking, and insurance customers, along with contributions from our recent acquisitions. As a result, Finance became our second largest vertical, representing 24.9% of total revenues for the quarter. Our Technology, Media and Telecom ("TMT") vertical contributed 23.5% of the first quarter revenues, remaining flat on a sequential basis. Revenues for the Consumer Packaged Goods ("CPG") and Manufacturing vertical increased 12.7% year-over-year, supported by growth from existing customers and our recent acquisitions. Finally, our Healthcare and Pharma, and Other verticals remained flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, contributing 2.4% and 7.1% of our first quarter revenues, respectively.

"I am delighted to report another record quarter of revenues. We also achieved our highest-ever billable engineering headcount, a leading indicator of future growth. Our laser focus on technology and engineering excellence continues to ensure success for our clients. In the first quarter we signed several sizable deals spanning across industry verticals that included automotive, financial, and CPG. These engagements contain Agentic AI, cloud migration, and supply chain applications.

"Our partnership business is robust and projected for growth in 2025. We are strengthening our hyperscaler relationships and have a strong pipeline of significant migration and modernization efforts, coupled with a rising number of data and AI projects. We continue to expand our AI engagements across our customer base. Many of our customers are transitioning from proof-of-concepts to enterprise-scale implementations that deliver measurable business outcomes.

"For 2025, we are maintaining our full year revenue outlook that we provided to you all in February. We expect the second half of the year to show stronger performance, driven by the ramp-up of several recently signed contracts and continued execution across our active project portfolio. While we must navigate the uncertainties of the current global economic environment, I am confident that Grid Dynamics will continue to uphold the qualities that set us apart. We are building strong momentum across our business and I look forward to giving you an update on the next earnings call," said Leonard Livschitz, CEO.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Total revenues were $100.4 million, flat on a sequential basis and up 25.8% on a year-over-year basis.

Non-GAAP EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other income and expenses, fair value adjustments, stock-based compensation, transaction and transformation-related costs, restructuring costs as well as geographic reorganization expenses), a non-GAAP metric, was $14.6 million, compared to $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2024.

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information" below for a discussion of our non-GAAP measures.

Cash Flow and Other Metrics

Cash provided by operating activities was $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $325.5 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $334.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
Total headcount was 4,926 as of March 31, 2025, compared with 3,892 employees as of March 31, 2024.

Financial Outlook

Second Quarter

The Company expects revenue in the second quarter of 2025 to be in the range of $100 million to $102 million.
Non-GAAP EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025 is expected to be between $12.5 million and $13.5 million.
For the second quarter of 2025, we expect our basic share count to be in the 84 - 85 million range and diluted share count to be in the 88 - 89 million range.

Full Year

The Company expects full-year 2025 revenues to be in the range of $415 to $435 million, representing growth of 18.4% to 24.1% on a year-over-year basis. At the midpoint of $425 million, the Company expects the year-over-year growth rate for 2025 revenues to be 21.2%.

Grid Dynamics is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for net income/(loss) for the second quarter of 2025 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from Non-GAAP EBITDA that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as interest income, taxes, other income/(expenses), fair-value adjustments, geographic reorganization expenses, restructuring expenses, transaction-related costs and charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

Grid Dynamics will host a video conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 1, 2025 to discuss its first quarter financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures presented in Grid Dynamics press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company also presents Non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

A "non-GAAP financial measure" refers to a numerical measure of Grid Dynamics historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Grid Dynamics provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity and profitability.

Grid Dynamics has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by Grid Dynamics' management to evaluate Grid Dynamics' core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel.

Grid Dynamics believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors and other users of its financial information consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of operations. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. Grid Dynamics compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measures. Grid Dynamics encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of Grid Dynamics to differ materially from those expected and projected. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the quotations of management, the section titled "Financial Outlook," and statements concerning Grid Dynamics's expectations with respect to future performance, particularly in light of the macroeconomic environment and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as its GigaCube strategy.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Grid Dynamics's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) Grid Dynamics operates in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and may increase the risk that it will not continue to be successful; (ii) Grid Dynamics may be unable to effectively manage its growth or achieve anticipated growth, particularly as it expands into new geographies, which could place significant strain on Grid Dynamics' management personnel, systems and resources; (iii) Grid Dynamics' revenues are highly dependent on a limited number of clients and industries, and any decrease in demand for outsourced services in these industries may reduce Grid Dynamics' revenues and adversely affect Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (iv) macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, the risk of recession, the impact of tariffs and other factors impacting world trade, and the geopolitical climate, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have and may continue to materially adversely affect our stock price, business operations, overall financial performance and growth prospects; (v) Grid Dynamics' revenues are highly dependent on clients primarily located in the United States, and any economic downturn in the United States or in other parts of the world, including Europe or disruptions in the credit markets may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (vi) Grid Dynamics faces intense and increasing competition; (vii) Grid Dynamics' failure to successfully attract, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel could materially adversely affect Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (viii) failure to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, methodologies and evolving industry standards may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (ix) issues relating to the use of artificial intelligence technologies may result in reputational ham or liability, (x) security breaches and other incidents could expose us to liability and cause our business and reputation to suffer; (xi) failure to successfully deliver contracted services or causing disruptions to clients' businesses may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics' reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations; (xii) risks and costs related to acquiring and integrating other companies; (xiii) risks relating to the global regulatory environment as well as legal proceedings and other claims, and (xiv) other risks and uncertainties indicated in Grid Dynamics filings with the SEC.

Grid Dynamics cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Grid Dynamics cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Grid Dynamics does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Further information about factors that could materially affect Grid Dynamics, including its results of operations and financial condition, is set forth under the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed May 1, 2025, in its annual report on Form 10-K filed February 27, 2025 and in other periodic filings Grid Dynamics makes with the SEC.
