CI&T, a global company offering tech-integrated business solutions, just delivered its strongest quarter yet, and the numbers back it up. The first quarter of 2026 (1Q26) results are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards), as issued by the IASB. Revenue reached US$136.6 million in 1Q26. That is a 23.2% increase from US$110.9 million in 1Q25. This marks CI&T’s sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic revenue growth. That kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident
Two AI Growth Vectors Driving the Results
The financials across the board showed real momentum. Revenue growth at constant currency reached 15.5% versus 1Q25. Adjusted EBITDA grew 6.3% to US$20.8 million. The Adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 15.2%. Adjusted Profit rose 6.2% to US$10.2 million, with a margin of 7.5%. Adjusted diluted EPS reached US$0.08, up 11.8% year over year. CI&T ended 1Q26 with 8,015 employees. An average of 6,600 were AI-builder professionals, up 13.3% from 1Q25.
“Our record start to 2026, marked by 23.2% organic growth in 1Q26, confirms that CI&T is successfully evolving into a global partner for tech-integrated business solutions. We continue to advance two distinct AI-driven growth vectors: AI deployment, which expands revenue through IP-based solutions and AI-adoption engagements, and AI monetization, which expands margins by evolving our pricing models to capture a greater share of the productivity gains and business value created by AI. These two growth vectors are becoming increasingly visible in our results. 2025 was a very strong year for AI deployment, and this trend has only strengthened in 2026. At the same time, our AI monetization efforts are becoming more tangible: in 1Q26, 20% of new sales were already based on new pricing models. We expect these models to contribute to gross margin expansion over the coming quarters as adoption continues to accelerate. Together with a robust and accelerating sales pipeline, these dynamics give us the confidence to increase our full-year revenue guidance,” said Cesar Gon, founder and CEO of CI&T.
