Non-GAAP Financial Information
This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined
by Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the
requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial
information to Accenture’s financial statements as prepared under generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in this press release.
Financial results “in local currency” are calculated by restating
current-period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior-year
period’s foreign-currency exchange rates. Accenture’s management believes
providing investors with this information gives additional insights into
Accenture’s results of operations. While Accenture’s management believes
that the non-GAAP financial measures herein are useful in evaluating
Accenture’s operations, this information should be considered as
supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accenture provides full-year
revenue guidance on a local-currency basis and not in U.S. dollars because
the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations could vary significantly
from the company’s stated assumptions.

without limitation, risks that: Accenture’s results of operations have been,
and may in the future be, adversely affected by volatile, negative or

activity; Accenture’s business depends on generating and maintaining client
demand for the company’s solutions and services including through the
adaptation and expansion of its solutions and services in response to
ongoing changes in technology and offerings, and a significant reduction in
such demand or an inability to respond to the evolving technological
environment could materially affect the company’s results of operations;
risks and uncertainties related to the development and use of AI, including
advanced AI, could harm the company’s business, including by reducing demand
for our services or if AI investments fail to achieve anticipated benefits,
damage our reputation or give rise to legal or regulatory action; if

it experiences delivery inefficiencies or fail to
satisfy certain agreed-upon targets or specific
service levels; changes in Accenture’s level of
taxes, as well as audits, investigations and tax

tax rate, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition; Accenture’s results of
operations could be materially adversely affected
by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange

world, the company is more susceptible to certain
risks; if Accenture is unable to manage the
organizational challenges associated with its
size, the company might be unable to achieve its
