Fiscal Year 2025 Earnings Overview
For the fiscal year 2025, Aeries reported a revenue of $70.2 million. This notable performance included a 15% year-over-year increase in North American revenue, amounting to $65.5 million, and illustrating that it now constitutes over 93% of the company's total revenue mix.
Core Financial Insights
Key financial highlights from the call included:
- Core Adjusted EBITDA reached $7.4 million, surpassing earlier guidance of $6 to $7 million.
- Though the Adjusted EBITDA recorded a loss of $(4.7) million, this was primarily attributed to one-time expenses and is not expected to recur in the following year.
- Operational losses included $(28.8) million but were tied to specific line items that are anticipated to be non-recurring.
- The company concluded the year with a cash liquidity position of $2.8 million and a long-term debt balance of $1.1 million.
Strategic Developments of Aeries Technology
Aeries has made significant operational progress reflecting a sharpened focus on its core GCC franchise. This included a complete withdrawal from legacy operations in the Middle East, allowing for streamlined operations that fully cater to private-equity-backed companies in North America.
Innovative Framework Implementation
The company has also unveiled an AI-Centric GCC Framework, which integrates intelligent automation with generative-AI agents. This innovative structure has already facilitated the scaling of a 300-plus-member GCC for a flagship healthcare client. Additionally, Aeries secured contracts with a global cybersecurity provider and a sustainability-driven SaaS company to establish multi-country GCCs in India and Mexico, thereby enhancing its global presence.
Looking Ahead: Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook
During the call, the company reaffirmed its outlook for fiscal 2026, with estimates projecting revenue between $74 million and $80 million and an Adjusted EBITDA between $6 million and $8 million. The executives conveyed a strong belief that the upcoming year would be Aeries' most successful to date, citing increased traction among new clients and an optimized cost structure.

Our decision to exit lower-value markets has substantially enabled a transformation within our organization,” he noted.
