First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

• IFRS Gross Profit Margin was 38.0% compared to 38.2% in the first quarter of 2021.

• Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS was $1.19 compared to $0.83 in the first quarter of 2021.

Other Metrics as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2022

• Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments were $370.1 million as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $90.3 million from $460.4 million as of December 31, 2021, driven by seasonal impacts of tax and bonus payments, and a number of M&A earnouts. As of March 31, 2022, our credit facility was fully undrawn.

• Globant completed the first quarter of 2022 with 24,504 Globers, 23,158 of whom were technology, design and innovation professionals.

• The geographic revenue breakdown for the first quarter of 2022 was as follows: 63.1% from North America (top country: US), 23.5% from Latin America (top country: Chile), 11.1% from EMEA (top country: Spain) and 2.3% from Asia and Oceania (top country: India).

• Globant’s top customer, top five customers and top ten customers for the first quarter of 2022 represented 11.0%, 28.0% and 38.6% of revenues, respectively.

“This has been another outstanding quarter for our company’s growth, based on the sustained demand for digital transformation. Organizations are eager to leverage new technologies and touch points to deliver superb experiences, and we have enhanced our capabilities to scale and identify new trends like AI, Augmented Reality, the Metaverse, and Blockchain,” said Martín Migoya. “We are now seeing a significant trend regarding low-code and no-code software. The concept of making software development easier through AI will guide organizational strategies moving forward. Our acquisition of GeneXus together with our platforms Augoor and MagnifAI, will be key to address this vision in the future.”

“We are pleased with our strong financial results for the first quarter of 2022. Q1 revenues reached $401.4 million, an increase of 48.6% from $270.2 million in Q1 2021. This increase reflects robust demand for our services across all geographies. In addition to our organic growth, we are also very satisfied with the performance from our acquisitions. We are confident in our ability to continue driving strong growth, and delivering unparalleled value for our clients,” explained Juan Urthiague, Globant’s CFO.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

While the financial figures included in this press release have been computed in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” nor a financial statement as defined by International Accounting Standards 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The financial information in this press release has not been audited.

Globant provides non-IFRS financial measures in addition to reported IFRS results prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the company's business and uses the non-IFRS financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the company's business and evaluating its performance. The company anticipates that it will continue to report both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures in its financial results, including non-IFRS measures that exclude share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of non-financial assets, acquisition-related charges, and the related effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Because the company's non-IFRS financial measures are not calculated according to IFRS, these measures are not comparable to IFRS and may not necessarily be comparable to similarly described non-IFRS measures reported by other companies within the company's industry. Consequently, Globant's non-IFRS financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable IFRS measures, but, rather, should be considered together with its condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and its condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Globant is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Adjusted Profit from Operations Margin or Non-IFRS Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation expense, impairment of assets, acquisition-related charges, and the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

Forward Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our outlook and guidance, and our strategies, priorities and business plans. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that could impact our actual results include: the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; our ability to maintain current resource utilization rates and productivity levels; our ability to manage attrition and attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals; our ability to accurately price our client contracts; our ability to achieve our anticipated growth; our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth; our ability to retain our senior management team and other key employees; our ability to continue to innovate and remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related market trends; our ability to retain our business relationships and client contracts; our ability to manage the impact of global adverse economic conditions; our ability to manage uncertainty concerning the instability in the current economic, political and social environment in Latin America; and other factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any other risk factors we include in subsequent reports on Form 6-K.

Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any investment decisions based on our estimates and forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this press release whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
