Non-IFRS Financial Measures
While the financial figures included in this press release have
been computed in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"),
this announcement does not contain sufficient information to
constitute an interim financial report as defined in International
Accounting Standards 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" or a
financial statement as defined by International Accounting
Standards 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The financial
information in this press release has not been audited.
Globant provides non-IFRS financial measures in addition to
reported IFRS results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards. Management believes these measures help illustrate
underlying trends in the company's business and uses the non-IFRS
financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals,
communicated internally and externally, for managing the company's
business and evaluating its performance. The company anticipates
that it will continue to report both IFRS and certain non-IFRS
financial measures in its financial results, including non-IFRS
measures that exclude share-based compensation expense,
depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related charges, and the
related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Because
the company's non-IFRS financial measures are not calculated
according to IFRS, these measures are not comparable to IFRS and
may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-IFRS
measures reported by other companies within the company's industry.
Consequently, Globant's non-IFRS financial measures should not be
evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable IFRS measures, but,
rather, should be considered together with its condensed interim
consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and its condensed interim
consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard
("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
Globant is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of
forward-looking Non-IFRS Adjusted Profit from Operations Margin or
Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most directly comparable IFRS
measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty
the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without
unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to,
share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, and
the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments. These items are uncertain,
depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS
reported results for the guidance period.
Forward Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this release contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
"believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate,"
"intend," "should," "plan," "expect," "predict," "potential," or
the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
our future financial and operating performance, including our
outlook and guidance, and our strategies, priorities and business
plans. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not
materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Factors that could impact our
actual results include: our ability to maintain current resource
utilization rates and productivity levels; our ability to manage
attrition and attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals;
our ability to accurately price our client contracts; our ability
to achieve our anticipated growth; our ability to effectively
manage our rapid growth; our ability to retain our senior
management team and other key employees; our ability to continue to
innovate and remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and
related market trends; our ability to retain our business
relationships and client contracts; our ability to manage the
impact of global adverse economic conditions; our ability to manage
uncertainty concerning the instability in the current economic,
political and social environment in Latin
America; and other factors discussed under the heading "Risk
Factors" in our most recent Form 20-F filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and any other risk factors we
include in subsequent reports on Form 6-K.
Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any
investment decisions based on our estimates and forward-looking
statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason
after the date of this press release whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

(a) Acquisition-related charges include, when applicable,
amortization of purchased intangible assets included in
depreciation and amortization expense line on our consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, interest charges on
acquisition-related indebtedness, external deal costs,
acquisition-related retention bonuses, integration costs, changes
in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, and
other acquisition-related costs. We cannot provide
acquisition-related charges on a forward-looking basis without
unreasonable effort as such charges may fluctuate based on the
timing, size, and complexity of future acquisitions as well as
other uncertainty inherent in mergers and acquisitions.
