Q1 2026 Group revenue in line with expectations: €2,433 million, down -2.2% like-for-like1(reported - 6.9%), including a positive +0.1% hyperinflation effect
Core Services: Q1 2026 revenue down -1.7% LFL (reported -6.4%)
Specialized Services: sequential improvement throughout the quarter driven by LanguageLine Solutions
Strategic plan execution gaining stronger traction
2026 targets confirmed
Jorge Amar, CEO of TP Group, said: “I have spent my first weeks at TP with boots on the ground, talking with clients and teams, and what I have seen reinforces my conviction in TP’s direction. Client conversations are about transformation, with outsourcing increasingly recognized as a core strategic lever. In this environment, TP's balance sheet strength, proven delivery capabilities and operational discipline are decisive competitive advantages. While short-term volatility was anticipated, the strength of our commercial pipeline and the quality of our execution give us confidence in our ability to deliver the 2026 objectives. Finally, I am very pleased with the arrival of Andreas Braun, a very well recognized AI expert globally, who will play a pivotal role in shaping TP’s future in this defining moment for our whole industry.”
TP, a global leader in digital business services, today released its quarterly revenue figures for the period ended March 31, 2026.

(1) Q1 2025 revenue is restated to account for the regrouping since January 1st, 2026 of: 1/ all Americas collection activities under unified leadership, leading to AllianceOne being reclassified from the Specialized Services to the Americas region of the Core Services, and 2/ all TP Infinity USA activities under the Americas Region of the Core Services.
(2) At constant scope and exchange rates.
(3) Excl. the non-renewal of a significant visa application management contract, LFL growth of Specialized Services would have stood at - 1.0% LFL in Q1-26.
REVENUE BY ACTIVITY
Revenue for Q1-26 was down -2.2% like-for-like, reflecting the accelerated offshoring delivery, the anticipated lower activity in Trust & Safety and a persistently challenging environment for LLS.
Additionally, the current geopolitical environment in the Middle East led a few clients to delay their investment decisions and impacted how quickly some projects were ramped up. Moreover, consistent with the trend observed in recent quarters, certain commercial opportunities - particularly those involving lower value‑added services - continued to experience heightened pricing pressure. In this context, the Group maintained strict commercial discipline in line with its commitment to protecting profitability.
Reported revenue includes:
- a positive scope effect (+€16 million) mostly from the consolidation of ZP 'Better Together' (ZP) since February 1st, 2025 and of Agents Only since June 30, 2025;
- a significant negative currency effect (-€141 million) from the further strengthening of the euro against the US dollar and, albeit at a slower pace, the Indian rupee and Turkish lira.
- reporting reclassifications between Core Services and Specialized Services, with no impact at Group revenue and segment recurring EBITA levels:
A reconciliation of the initially published to the restated 2025 quarterly revenues is provided in appendix.
Core Services
AI-powered solutions continued to show very strong momentum, notably for data services for AI, data analytics and back-office. This reflects the ability of the Group to capitalize on emerging opportunities by scaling TP.ai FAB and leveraging its capabilities, global footprint, domain expertise and track record.
Across the region, the decline in revenue was mainly driven by the Trust & Safety line of business continuing its automation trend, which has led to lower volumes over the last quarters.
Revenue growth in India continued to accelerate, bolstered by sustained demand for offshore BPO solutions, both vertical and horizontal. While the shift to offshore solutions leads to a negative effect on revenue growth, it has a positive impact on the Group margin.
Across the region, data services for AI and data analytics continued to grow, albeit from a low basis of comparison, thanks to new contract ramp-ups. Care solutions grew satisfactorily, notably in the UK, in APAC, and multilingual hubs – particularly in Egypt - thanks to the rapid development of non-voice solutions. The performance was strong in a wide range of sectors, notably in financial services & insurance, consumer goods and public services.
On the other hand, and similar to the Americas region, the Trust & Safety line of business saw increased automation. Activity was also affected by lower-than-expected contract ramp-ups in Europe on the back of increased geopolitical uncertainties that arose toward the end of the quarter.
Specialized Services
For the first quarter of 2026, revenue from Specialized Services amounted to €332 million, down -9.9% as reported and down -5.5% like-for-like.
In Q1 2026, revenue growth for LLS remained affected by both the still highly volatile business environment in the US and a negative basis of comparison. Nevertheless, momentum improved throughout the quarter. In this environment, the focus has remained toward protecting profitability.
At TLScontact, like-for-like growth in Q1 2026 remained negatively impacted by the non-renewal of a significant visa application management contract. Adjusted for this impact, TLScontact grew double digit in the first quarter thanks to growing volumes. Excluding this effect, Specialized Services would have been down -1.0% LFL.
ACCELERATION OF THE ‘FUTURE FORWARD’ STRATEGY
Client conversations are undergoing a structural shift, with materially larger, more transformative engagements often involving first‑time outsourcers or clients consolidating to larger, more stable partners. Outsourcing is further considered as a core strategic lever, as large organizations now have the benefit of hindsight to assess the requirements of internal transformation programs. This has led to accelerating demand for external partners capable of delivering faster, scalable change globally. In this context of accelerated vendor consolidation, TP’s proven delivery capabilities, operational excellence and strong balance sheet represent decisive competitive advantages. Additionally, the growing integration of the Group’s TP.ai FAB solutions is supporting both new business wins and long-term client retention, with FAB capabilities now embedded in close to 100% of the new contracts’ wins.
Andreas Braun, a globally renowned AI expert, joins TP as Chief AI Officer as of May 4, 2026. Over the course of his career, Andreas built the Data Business Group for Accenture Technology in Europe, which he brought to more than 1,800 professionals across Europe. He also conceptualized, built and led the Global Data & Analytics team for Allianz and acted as Chief Technology Officer for Microsoft in Germany, leading a team that implemented data & AI capabilities for clients across industries. Most recently, he was a partner and Managing Director for the Boston Consulting Group.
Andreas’ scope of responsibility with TP includes client and internal transformation, the launch of revenue-generating AI-powered offerings and the development of a strong network of partners covering the full AI value chain. Andreas holds a degree in computer science and theoretical medicine as well as a Ph.D. in computer science/ artificial intelligence from the University of Munich. Andreas has already been joined by a team of seasoned AI professionals and others will follow.
The delivery of the efficiency initiatives presented last February is now well on track along three main pillars: internal AI transformation, cost optimization and organizational redesign. These initiatives are still expected to generate restructuring costs estimated between €70m and €90m in 2026 and annual run-rate savings above €100m, of which half to be recorded in 2026.
As part of the strategic transformation plan and portfolio review, TP has taken the decision to exit certain countries and to discontinue a number of contracts where profitability levels were not meeting the Group’s standards. This disciplined portfolio optimization reflects the group’s continued focus on enhancing margin profile, streamlining operations and reallocating resources. These strategic actions, while negatively impacting revenues in the short term, are designed to protect the group’s profitability and support the medium-term outlook.
In parallel, TP is accelerating an advanced internal synergy plan for Specialized Services to systematically leverage Core Services capabilities and global network. While not impacting Group revenue and being accretive to the overall profitability, these synergies may nonetheless have a dilutive effect on LLS's reported revenue, reflecting the increase in intercompany eliminations arising therefrom.
Lastly, a couple of activity reclassifications have been decided to streamline the group’s organization and enhance strategic coherence. From January 1st, 2026, all collection and accounts receivable management activities have been brought together under Core Services. AllianceOne activities have thus been reclassified from Specialized Services to the Americas region of the Core Services. Similarly, since January 1st, 2026, all TP Infinity USA activities are classified in the Americas Region of the Core Services.
Financial impacts of these strategic decisions are detailed in the appendix.
