Accenture plc Q1 2026 results

Julie will then provide a brief update on our market positioning before Angie provides our business outlook for the second quarter and full year fiscal 2026. We delivered revenue of $18.7 billion, growing 5% in local currency at the top of our guided range, with broad-based growth across markets and both types of work. Adjusted operating margin expanded by 30 basis points year over year, and we delivered adjusted EPS growth of 10% compared to Q1 last year. At that time, bookings were about $100 million across roughly 100 projects, and revenue was immaterial.

To date, we have now delivered approximately $11.5 billion in bookings across 11,000 projects with revenue of $4.8 billion. Demand for reinvention remains strong, with our clients continuing to prioritize larger transformational programs focused on building their digital core and driving both efficiency and growth. Technology is front and center for every client, and the 60% of our revenue in Q1 from work we do with our top 10 ecosystem partners continued to outpace our overall growth. Together, they represent meaningful opportunities for growth and further strengthen our ability to deliver comprehensive end-to-end solutions.

Over the past year, in response to client demand, we've been expanding and, in some cases, forming new partnerships with emerging AI and data companies. These evolving partnerships, which are laid out in our earnings presentation, are a significant competitive advantage for us. Along with our FY25 acquisition of UK-based Soben, this meaningfully expands our capital projects capabilities and presence in the high-growth data center consulting market. And we're scaling new growth areas with NeuraFlash in the U.S., a Salesforce and advanced AI leader whose agentic solutions expand our reach into the mid-market.
