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.
