NOTE:
- On November 21, 2025 the Government of India notified provisions of The Labour Codes. These Labour Codes consolidate twenty-nine existing labour laws into a unified framework governing employee benefits during employment and post-employment and amongst other things introduce changes, including a uniform definition of wages and enhanced benefits relating to leave. The adjustments for Labour Codes represent an increase in gratuity liability arising out of past service cost and increase in leave liability together by $143 million which is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
- Revenue growth in reported currency includes the impact of currency fluctuations. Additionally, we calculate constant currency (CC) growth by comparing current period revenues in respective local currencies converted to US$ using prior period exchange rates and comparing the same to our prior period reported revenues.
