The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Accenture plc and its controlled subsidiary companies have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. We use the terms “Accenture,” “we” and “our” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to refer to Accenture plc and its subsidiaries. These Consolidated Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 10, 2025.

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2026.

As of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the total allowance for credit losses recorded for client receivables and contract assets was $46,438 and $32,247, respectively. The change in the allowance is primarily due to changes in specific client reserves, gross client receivables and contract assets and immaterial write-offs.

All available-for-sale securities and liquid investments with an original maturity greater than three months but less than one year are considered to be Short-term investments. Non-current investments consist of equity securities in privately-held companies and are accounted for using either the equity or fair value measurement alternative method of accounting (for investments without readily determinable fair values).


	May 31, 2026		August 31, 2025
Equity method investments	$	356,422	$	355,276
Investments without readily determinable fair values	568,902		365,984
Total non-current investments	$	925,324	$	721,260

For investments in which we can exercise significant influence but do not control, we use the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and our proportionate share of gains and losses of the investee are included as a component of Other income (expense), net.

Our redeemable noncontrolling interests relate to options to sell and/or buy remaining interests in certain acquired entities at fair value over a specified time period. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at redemption value, with adjustments recorded to Retained earnings. The related share of income or loss is reported as Net income attributable to non-controlling interests – other in the Consolidated Income Statements.

As of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, redeemable noncontrolling interests were $493,874 and $475,823, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by changes to the preliminary opening balance sheet and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We did not hold redeemable noncontrolling interests as of August 31, 2025.

As of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, total accumulated depreciation was $3,136,005 and $2,926,630, respectively. See table below for a summary of depreciation on fixed assets, deferred transition amortization, intangible assets amortization and operating lease cost for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The ASU will be effective beginning with our annual fiscal 2026 financial statements, and we plan to adopt the standard on a prospective basis. This ASU will impact our income tax disclosures, but not our financial position or results of operations.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disclose specified information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements, including employee compensation. The ASU will be effective beginning with our annual fiscal 2028 financial statements and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.

On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use-Software, which eliminates the use of software development stages for determining capitalization. Under the new standard, capitalization will be based on the probability that the software will be completed and the certainty that it will function as intended. The ASU will be effective beginning with our interim fiscal 2029 financial statements and transition approaches include prospective, retrospective or modified methods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements and disclosures, as well as the timing of our adoption.
