Innodata (NASDAQ:INOD) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results

Innodata (NASDAQ:INOD) released its earnings results on Thursday. The technology company reported $0.29 EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.17 by $0.12, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $95.62 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $83.32 million. Innodata had a return on equity of 36.84% and a net margin of 13.84%. The business’s quarterly revenue was up 52.8% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter in the previous year, the business posted $0.24 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Innodata’s conference call:

• Innodata reported record Q3 revenue of $95.6 million, up 53% year over year, marking its 13th consecutive quarter of growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $17.7 million, adjusted gross margin reached its 40% target, and diluted EPS of $0.29 exceeded consensus.
• The company raised its 2026 growth outlook to 42% or more. New business included a $29 million pre-training program and an additional approximately $18 million program with a major customer, plus five programs at another hyperscaler that Innodata expects could contribute more than $20 million in 2027.
• A program with Innodata’s historically largest customer is ending, which management expects will reduce Q4 revenue by about $12 million. The company expects new programs to help replace the revenue by Q1, but said timing is not certain and did not provide project-level margin details.
• Management sees potential growth in physical AI, agent-training environments, trust and safety, specialized training data, enterprise AI, and federal work. These are developing opportunities: several remain in pilots, discussions, or staged government awards, rather than established revenue streams.
• Innodata ended the quarter with approximately $154 million in cash, net of customer prepayments, and no debt, generating $19.3 million in underlying cash during the quarter. Management said organic investment is its capital-allocation priority, with selective M&A also under consideration.
