Summary of significant accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda company, and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, transaction prices (including variable consideration) of the Company's revenue contracts, allowances for credit losses, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of derivative financial instruments, measurements of lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(c) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company may perform quantitative testing where the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, including goodwill, or choose to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment by the Company as of December 31 every year.

(d) Income taxes
The Company calculates and provides for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and for all operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates of the respective jurisdictions which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount, based on the weight of available evidence, that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company applies a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring the benefit of tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining, based on the technical merits, that the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of the tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company includes interest and penalties related to income taxes within income tax expense.
The Company follows the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) upon recognition of these AOCI items in the consolidated statements of income.
(e) Reclassification and presentation adjustments
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company updated the financial presentation of its capitalized cloud computing arrangement (CCA) implementation costs and reclassified certain previously capitalized CCA implementation costs on its consolidated balance sheet, which decreased "property, plant and equipment, net" by $36,424, increased "other assets, net of allowances for credit losses" by $35,817 and increased "prepaid expenses and other current assets" by $607.
Similar reclassifications were reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash flows related to the CCA implementation costs were correctly classified within "net cash provided by operating activities." However, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, these cash flows were incorrectly classified within "net cash used in investing activities" in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows and were not reclassified to "net cash provided by operating activities" as the amounts are considered immaterial.
The Company evaluated the impact of the reclassification and presentation adjustments and concluded they are not material to the consolidated financial statements for any of the periods presented.
(f) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The authoritative bodies release standards and guidance which are assessed by management for impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The following recently released accounting standards have been adopted by the Company:
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)." This Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") provides public entities with an additional practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions under ASC 606. This includes assets acquired in business combinations or through consolidation of VIEs that is not a business if those assets arose from transactions that the acquiree or variable interest entity accounted for under ASC 606. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this ASU beginning January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The following recently released accounting standards have not yet been adopted by the Company:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income— Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Topic 220-40)." This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. In January 2025, the FASB further issued ASU No 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date for adoption of ASU No 2024-03. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on the presentation of its consolidated statements of income and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)." This ASU provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. It removes all references to project stages in ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The ASU also specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The guidance, which applies to all entities, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." This ASU clarifies certain aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting and addresses several incremental hedge accounting issues arising from the global reference rate reform initiative. The amendments in this ASU apply to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815. The guidance, which applies to all entities, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively for all hedging relationships. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832)." This ASU adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. In the absence of such guidance, many for-profit entities historically have analogized to other U.S. GAAP, including IAS 20 or ASC 958-605, when accounting for government grants. The amendments in this ASU apply to business entities (specifically, all entities except for not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans) that receive a government grant. The guidance under this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or retrospective transition approach. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-scope improvements." This ASU specifies the form and content choices for interim financial statements and accompanying notes, incorporates a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle to disclose events since the end of the previous annual reporting period that have material impact on the entity. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that provide interim financial statements and notes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, “Codification Improvements." This ASU enhances the usability of the ASC by refining accounting guidance and streamlining its application through technical corrections, making standards more consistent and easier to interpret for preparers and users. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities. The guidance under this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
