Innodata (NASDAQ:INOD) Posts Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.20 EPS

Innodata (NASDAQ:INOD) announced its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The technology company reported $0.41 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.21 by $0.20, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $92.14 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $86.31 million. Innodata had a net margin of 14.66% and a return on equity of 41.94%. The firm’s revenue was up 57.8% on a year-over-year basis. During the same period in the previous year, the firm posted $0.20 EPS.

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

• Innodata reported a record second quarter, with revenue of $92.1 million, up 58% year over year, adjusted EBITDA of $25.4 million, up 92%, and diluted EPS of $0.41. All key metrics exceeded analyst consensus, marking the company’s 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
• Adjusted gross margin rose to 49%, nine points above the company’s stated 40% target, driven by a richer mix of higher-margin pre-training programs and proprietary datasets. Management said these offerings provide more software-like leverage because the same intellectual property can be monetized across customers.
• Customer concentration improved as the largest customer declined to 37% of quarterly revenue from 56% in Q1, while a major technology customer grew to 34% and a new frontier AI lab was added. Management also cited several large potential engagements across frontier labs, enterprise customers, and government, though none are included in current guidance.
• Management reiterated its outlook for at least 40% year-over-year revenue growth in 2026 and highlighted expanding opportunities in agentic AI, model evaluation, cybersecurity, physical AI, and federal applications. New research-driven products, including reinforcement-learning environments, benchmarks, and an AI cybersecurity training suite, are intended to support future growth and recurring revenue.
• The company established an at-the-market equity program that could result in share issuance, potentially diluting existing shareholders, although management said it will be used selectively for growth initiatives and strategic opportunities. Management also cautioned that quarterly margins may fluctuate and revenue could decline sequentially if large one-time projects create delivery gaps.
