Clients

We maintain a geographically diverse client base in multiple industries. Our focus on delivering quality service is reflected in established relationships with many of our clients, with 64.4% and 35.7% of our revenues in 2025 coming from clients that had used our services for at least five and ten years, respectively. We aim to grow our client portfolios organically and through strategic acquisitions. We continually evaluate potential acquisition targets that can expand our vertical-specific domain expertise, geographic footprint, service portfolio, client base and management expertise.

The following table shows revenues from the top five and ten clients in the respective year as a percentage of revenues for that year:

As we remain committed to diversifying our client base and adding more clients to our client mix, we expect revenue concentration from our top clients to decrease over the long-term.

See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to revenues.

See Note 19 “Segment Information” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information related to our reportable segments.

Global Delivery Model

Our global delivery model and centralized support functions, combined with the benefits of scale from the shared use of fixed-cost resources, have created a delivery base whereby our applications, tools, methodologies and infrastructure allow us to seamlessly deliver services and solutions from our global delivery centers to our clients across the world. Over the years we have developed a robust global delivery model that serves as a key competitive advantage, enabling us to better meet our clients’ diverse needs and to provide a compelling value proposition.

We continuously evolve our delivery platform to support our business needs and strategy by engaging personnel with diversified skills in existing and new locations. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 56,600 delivery personnel consisting mainly of our core information technology professionals as well as consultants, designers, architects, engineers and trainers.

We serve our clients through on-site, off-site and offshore locations across the world and use strategically located delivery centers to offer a strong, diversified and cost-effective delivery platform. In the normal course of business, we may relocate or assist in relocating our employees as business needs arise, new office geographies are added or client engagements require teams to be available in particular locations.

In 2025, India remained our largest delivery location, measured by the number of delivery professionals, and as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 12,200 delivery professionals in this location. We continued to focus on growing India as a key delivery location and added approximately 2,150 delivery professionals since December 31, 2024.

Ukraine continues to be a significant delivery location for us and we had approximately 8,750 delivery professionals there as of December 31, 2025, compared with 8,764 delivery professionals as of December 31, 2024. Since the Russian forces' attack on Ukraine and its people began on February 24, 2022, our teams remain highly focused on maintaining uninterrupted production. Our highest priority remains the safety and security of our employees and their families in Ukraine as well as in the broader region, and we have continued to support relocating our employees to lower risk locations, both inside Ukraine and to other countries where we operate. The vast majority of our Ukraine employees are in safe locations and we continuously monitor the situation.

In response to the war in Ukraine, we shifted the way we operate in our delivery locations by discontinuing our operations in Russia and continuing to execute our business continuity plans and sustaining our hiring efforts across multiple locations in India, Central and Western Asia, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe. In addition to hiring efforts, the acquisitions of businesses that we complete further diversify our employee base and delivery locations. Our other large delivery locations are Poland, Belarus and Mexico with approximately 5,050, 3,400 and 2,950 delivery professionals, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. Our global delivery centers throughout the world, including in Ukraine, have sufficient resources, including infrastructure and capital, to support ongoing operations.

Human Capital

Our employees are a key factor in our ability to grow our revenues and serve our clients. We believe the quality of our employees serves as a key point of differentiation in how we deliver a superior value proposition to our clients and investors. It is critical to our success to identify, attract, hire and retain delivery professionals who are highly skilled in information technology to execute our services, as well as individuals with appropriate skills to fill our executive, finance, legal, human resources and other key management positions. To attract, retain and motivate our employees, we offer a work environment that values the individual, ongoing skills development, career advancement with continuous rotation and promotion opportunities, and rewards for entrepreneurial initiative and performance. As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately 62,850, 61,200, and 53,150 employees, respectively, of which approximately 56,600, 55,100, and 47,350 were delivery professionals, respectively.

Health, Safety, and Wellness: We invest in programs designed to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of our employees so we can offer a safe, welcoming, and productive workplace that supports and enhances the work-life balance and wellness of our employees. Our health and safety programs are designed to comply with the regulations in the multiple cities and countries where we operate while meeting the needs of our delivery and administrative functions, whether our employees choose to work remotely or in EPAM’s or our clients’ offices.

Recruitment, Training and Utilization: As an innovation-driven business in a competitive industry, our success depends on hiring the most talented employees and training, developing, and deploying them to satisfy client demand. We are particularly focused on identifying and cultivating the next generation of exceptional leaders, emphasizing technical expertise, enhancing succession pipelines, and finding the best people to fill our key positions.

We have dedicated full-time employees who oversee all aspects of our human capital management process including talent acquisition teams that locate and attract qualified and experienced professionals around the world. Our employees are a critical asset and are necessary for our continued success, so we continuously explore new geographies, markets, and sources to locate talented personnel and present them with competitive compensation, educational programs, and opportunities for career advancement.

We actively monitor how we utilize our delivery professionals and specialists to balance the needs of our clients with the availability, location, and skill sets of our employees and their need for interesting and challenging work. We manage utilization through strategic hiring, our internal technology platforms, and efficient staffing of client projects. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the utilization rates of our delivery professionals were approximately 76.8%, 76.7%, and 74.3%, respectively.

EPAM invests significant resources in training and developing our employees through our learning and development programs. Our largest learning and development investment has been directed towards developing our engineering talent, including targeted training programs, innovation labs, and significant internal production projects. Our employees consumed 2.6 million learning hours in 2025. We deliver training and development opportunities and content through our unique learning ecosystem and through dedicated learning events, using proprietary platforms that are available to all of our employees. Our digital learning platform provides our employees with a recommendation engine that suggests courses and materials based on employee role, level, location and skills. We celebrate our employees’ learning accomplishments and employees can recognize each other for their teamwork, initiative, and unique, skills through our recognition portal.

Culture: Our talented personnel include people with varied backgrounds and characteristics to drive innovation and new approaches to delivering services to our clients. We believe that innovation comes from the different perspectives, knowledge, and experiences of our global employees, so we strive for a supportive culture by creating employee groups that recognize and share perspectives so employees of all backgrounds, interests, and identities can grow and thrive professionally.

Increasing the breadth of viewpoints and experiences in executive and key operational leadership roles is an organizational priority that starts at the top. Women currently represent approximately 44% of the independent directors on our Board and we have developed programs to identify, retain, mentor, and supply a pipeline of qualified candidates from all backgrounds at every level of our Company. Our programs include dedicating resources and personnel in our talent acquisition team to identify, recognize, and hire from underrepresented groups in engineering, IT, and business.

Recognizing that giving all people access to jobs in the software and technology industries starts with access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (“STEM”) education, EPAM created the EPAM E-Kids program where our employees volunteer their time to teach elementary school age children STEM concepts and introductory software coding skills. As of the end of 2025, we offered the EPAM E-Kids® program in 17 countries.

Employee Engagement and Retention: As a participant in the United Nations Global Compact, we are committed to respecting our employees’ fundamental human rights at work. We believe that retaining skilled talent requires substantially more than meeting basic employment and labor rights, and that employees who are fairly compensated and feel supported and engaged in their career development are more likely to remain with EPAM. That is why we aim to provide pay and benefits to demonstrate that we value our employees, which include a competitive salary, flexible work-life balance, paid time off, health coverage, ongoing training programs, relocation options, and recognition opportunities.

Our career development programs create detailed and progressive training plans for our employees and help them choose from internal and external training options, mentoring programs, and hands-on opportunities to experience emerging technology areas. We designed our career development programs to enable our employees to develop their engineering skills, influence our culture, develop thought leadership, and introduce them to leaders in our industry. Our career development programs also give our employees opportunities to earn accreditation and relevant expertise in various technology fields, including software and project management certifications and recognition and credentialing from the industry’s primary software and cloud services providers.

We focus on retaining and engaging top talent by hiring people with the skill sets our clients need and who also share our values so we can build long-term employee satisfaction, which is supported by our voluntary attrition rate of 8.5%, 8.9%, and 8.6% in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We endeavor to recruit for careers, not for short-term projects, and actively foster feedback from our employees so we can improve the EPAM employee experience. Receiving and learning from employee feedback plays a critical role in engaging and retaining our employees because it offers us insights on how we can improve our operations and enhance the skills of our employees. Our employees have demonstrated their satisfaction with our approach by giving their highest percentage of positive responses in our 2025 employee survey when asked if they can easily get support from their colleagues (94%), if they get management support (93%), if they feel that EPAM provides a supportive environment for all employees, regardless of gender, race, background, religion, or other personal traits (90%), if they are inspired to do their best when working for EPAM (90%) and if they feel comfortable being themselves while working for EPAM (89%). Our focus on our employees’ experience is recognized inside and outside of EPAM. In 2025, the employee experience we create was recognized with awards from a number of different organizations in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and we were also named to the Forbes World’s Best Employers list and recognized by Glassdoor as a Best Workplace for four consecutive years.

Sales and Marketing

We market and sell our services through our senior management, sales and business development teams, account managers, and professional staff. Our client service professionals and account managers, who maintain direct client relationships, play an integral role in engaging with current clients to identify and pursue potential business opportunities. This strategy has been effective in promoting repeat business and growth from within our existing client base and we believe that our reputation as a reliable provider of software engineering solutions drives additional business from inbound requests and referrals. In addition to effective client management, our sales model also utilizes an integrated sales and marketing approach that leverages a dedicated sales team to identify and acquire new accounts. Our sales and marketing efforts are increasingly AI-enabled, leveraging internal data platforms to create a comprehensive view of our clients which enables more personal and tailored conversations.

We maintain a marketing team, which coordinates corporate-level branding efforts such as participation in and the hosting of industry conferences and events as well as sponsorship of programming competitions. We have been recognized by many top global independent research agencies, such as Forrester, Gartner, IDC and Everest and by publications such as Newsweek, TIME Magazine, Forbes and Fortune. We are proud to be among the top 15 companies in Information Technology Services in the Fortune 1000 and to be included as a leader in the IDC MarketScapes for Worldwide Experience Build Services and Worldwide Experience Design Services.

Competition

The markets in which we compete are changing rapidly and we face competition from multiple market participants such as other global technology solutions providers, specialized consulting firms, boutique digital companies and outsourcing companies based primarily in specific geographies with lower cost labor such as Eastern Europe, India, Latin America and China. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our business include technical expertise and industry knowledge, end-to-end solution offerings, a reputation for and a track record of high-quality and on-time delivery of work, effective employee recruiting, training and retention, responsiveness to clients’ business needs, ability to scale, financial stability and price.

We face competition from various technology services providers such as Accenture, Atos, Capgemini, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Deloitte Digital, DXC Technology, Endava, Genpact, GlobalLogic, Globant, Grid Dynamics, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro, among others. Additionally, we compete with numerous smaller local companies in the various geographic markets in which we operate.

We believe that our focus on complex and innovative software product development solutions, our technical employee base, and our development and continuous improvement in process methodologies, applications and tools position us well to compete effectively in the future. Our ability to deliver end-to-end AI-native solutions is a key differentiator as companies move from AI experimentation to production.

Quality Management and Information Security

We are continuously investing in systems, applications, tools and infrastructure to manage all aspects of our global delivery process in order to manage quality and information security risks, while providing control and visibility across all project lifecycle stages both internally and to our clients. We have developed sophisticated project management techniques and procedures facilitated through our proprietary project management tools, a web-based collaborative environment for software development, which we consider critical for visibility into project deliverables, resource management, team messaging and project-related documents. These tools promote collaboration and effective oversight, reduce work time and costs, and increase quality for our IT management and our clients.

We maintain, monitor, and improve processes and infrastructure to protect our, our clients’ and their customers’ confidential and sensitive information and allocate internal and external resources to assess and ensure information security, cybersecurity and data privacy. We have made significant investments in the appropriate people, processes and technology to establish and manage information security, confidentiality requirements, and laws and regulations governing our activities, such as the European Union data protection legal framework referred to as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, and others.

We maintain a focus on adhering to stringent security, privacy and quality standards as well as internal controls which are compliant with ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 9001 standards. For certain services, EPAM obtains SOC1, SOC2, and/or SOC3 reports and shares them with our clients. These audits are performed by an independent auditor utilizing globally recognized attestation standards (ISAE 3402 and ISAE 3000). Our SOC reports, along with other certifications we hold, provide our clients with independent third-party assurance and validation of our information security, privacy management, quality management and general controls practices.

Corporate and Social Responsibility and Environmental, Social, and Governance Initiatives

We are committed to integrating positive social, environmental and ethical practices into our business operations, corporate governance, and strategy. This commitment is key to our continual development as a business and drives value for our employees, clients, business partners, the community and other stakeholders. We practice the principles established in our Code of Ethical Conduct by making positive contributions to the communities in which we operate and championing corporate social responsibility efforts.

Through our focused efforts in the areas of Education, Environment, and Community, we are committed to sharing the expertise and attributes of our highly skilled global workforce to effectively support the needs of and positively add to the world at large and the communities where we work and live. By understanding our impact on local, regional and global communities, we strive to create positive change and opportunities in areas where it is needed most.

From an environmental perspective, we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and have established Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”) targets to guide our progress. Our efforts include monitoring and managing our emissions to ensure alignment with our reduction targets and implementing energy-efficient workplace practices. We also support the responsible use of electronic equipment by donating devices to those in need. To further advance our environmental objectives, we utilize an application to track and report our emissions, enabling greater transparency and accountability in our sustainability journey.

Intellectual Property

Protecting our intellectual property rights is important to our business. We have invested, and will continue to invest, in research and development to enhance our knowledge, create solutions for our clients, and continuously advance our information security. We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws, trade secrets, cybersecurity, and confidentiality obligations to protect our intellectual property. We require our employees, vendors and independent contractors to enter into written agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us, which assign to us all deliverable intellectual property and work product made, developed or conceived by them in connection with their employment or provision of services and to keep any disclosed information confidential.

We also enter into confidentiality agreements with our clients and suppliers to protect information and maintain information security. Our agreements with our clients cover our use of their software systems and platforms as our clients usually own the intellectual property in the software, products, and solutions we develop for them. Furthermore, we often grant our clients a nonexclusive license to use relevant technologies in our pre-existing intellectual property portfolio, but only to the extent necessary to use the software or systems we develop for them. Our suppliers are generally bound by our supplier code of conduct, which imposes an obligation to protect our and our clients’ intangible assets, including confidential information, personal information, and intellectual property, and to protect the security of those assets.

Regulations

Due to the industry and geographic diversity of our operations and services, our operations are subject to a variety of rules and regulations. Several foreign and U.S. federal and state agencies regulate various aspects of our business. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Regulation and Legislation and Risks Related to Information Security and Data Protection.” We are subject to laws and regulations in the United States and other countries in which we operate, including export restrictions, economic sanctions, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, and data privacy regulations. Compliance with these laws requires significant resources and non-compliance may result in civil or criminal penalties and other remedial measures.
