NOTE:
1. On November 21, 2025 the Government of India notified provisions of The
Labour Codes. These Labour Codes consolidate twenty-nine existing labour
laws into a unified framework governing employee benefits during
employment and post-employment and amongst other things introduce changes,
including a uniform definition of wages and enhanced benefits relating to
leave. The adjustments for Labour Codes represent an increase in gratuity
liability arising out of past service cost and increase in leave
liability together by $143 million which is recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
2. Revenue growth in reported currency includes the impact of currency
fluctuations. Additionally, we calculate constant currency $(CC)$ growth by
comparing current period revenues in respective local currencies
converted to US$ using prior period exchange rates and comparing the same
to our prior period reported revenues.
