Business Update Regarding Military Action in Ukraine
In February 2022, Russian forces launched a significant military action against Ukraine, with increased activity in recent months. The impact on Ukraine, coupled with the actions taken by other countries, including sanctions imposed by the U.S., Canada, the U.K., the European Union, and other countries, companies and organizations against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia and certain regions of Ukraine, and each country’s potential response to such sanctions, tensions, and military actions could have a material adverse effect on our operations. For example, Russia could attempt to take control of assets in Ukraine belonging to companies registered in the U.S., such as Grid Dynamics. Any such material adverse effect from the conflict and enhanced sanctions activity may disrupt our delivery of services, impair our ability to complete financial or banking transactions, cause us to continue to shift all or portions of our work occurring in the region to other countries, and may restrict our ability to engage in certain projects in the region or involving certain customers in the region.
We continue to actively monitor the security of our personnel and the stability of our infrastructure, including communications and internet availability. We executed our business continuity plan and have adapted to developments as they occur to protect the safety of our people and handle potential impacts to our delivery infrastructure. We continue to actively work with our personnel and with our customers to meet their needs and to ensure smooth delivery of services.
We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the military action in Ukraine or the chance and terms of any possible peaceful or other resolution of the war, as the conflict and government responses continue to develop and are beyond our control. Prolonged unrest, military activities, expansion of hostilities, or broad-based sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business outlook. For example, if Russia were to invade other countries, such as Moldova, it could adversely affect our business. In addition, the current geopolitical situations in Armenia and separately in Serbia create additional uncertainty in the region, and could adversely affect our business.
Key Performance Indicators and Other Factors Affecting Performance
Grid Dynamics uses the following key performance indicators and assesses the following factors, among others, to analyze its business performance, to make budgets and financial forecasts and to develop strategic plans:
Employees by Region
Attracting and retaining the right employees in the right regions is critical to the success of Grid Dynamics’ business and is a key factor in Grid Dynamics’ ability to meet customers’ needs and grow its revenue base. Grid Dynamics’ revenue prospects and long-term success depend significantly on its ability to recruit and retain qualified IT professionals. We seek to employ the appropriate professionals globally to support our “Follow-the-Sun” strategy of client service and in locations to optimize our employee costs and expenses. A substantial majority of Grid Dynamics’ personnel is comprised of such IT professionals.
The following table shows the number of Grid Dynamics personnel (including full-time and part-time employees and contractors serving in similar capacities) by region, as of the dates indicated:
| As of June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Americas(1) | 846 | 547 |
| Europe(2) | 3,240 | 2,761 |
| Rest of the world(3) | 927 | 653 |
| Total | 5,013 | 3,961 |
(1) Americas includes personnel located in North, Central and South America.
(2) Europe includes personnel located in Western, Central and Eastern Europe.
(3) Rest of the world includes personnel located in India and other countries not included in regions described above.
Attrition
There is significant competition for IT professionals in the regions in which Grid Dynamics operates, and such competition may adversely impact Grid Dynamics’ business and gross profit margins. Employee retention is one of Grid Dynamics’ main priorities and is a key driver of our operational efficiency. Grid Dynamics seeks to retain top talent by providing the opportunity to work on exciting, cutting-edge projects for high profile clients, a flexible work environment and training and development programs.
Hours and Utilization
As most of Grid Dynamics’ customer projects are performed and invoiced on a time and materials basis, Grid Dynamics’ management tracks and projects billable hours as an indicator of business volume and corresponding resource needs for IT professionals. To maintain its gross profit margins, Grid Dynamics must effectively utilize its IT professionals, which depends on its ability to integrate and train new personnel, to efficiently transition personnel from completed projects to new assignments, to forecast customer demand for services and to attract and deploy personnel in the right regions with appropriate skills and seniority to projects. Grid Dynamics’ management generally tracks utilization with respect to subsets of employees, by location or by project, and calculates the utilization rate for each subset by dividing (x) the aggregate number of billable hours for a period by (y) the aggregate number of total available hours for the same period. Grid Dynamics’ management analyzes and projects utilization to measure the efficiency of its workforce and to inform management’s budget and personnel decisions.
Customer Concentration
Grid Dynamics’ ability to retain and expand its relationships with existing customers and add new customers are key indicators of its revenue potential. New customers have a direct impact on the Company’s ability to diversify sources of revenue and replace customers that may no longer require its services. The total number of customers for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 211 customers, down from 220 a year ago.
Grid Dynamics has a relatively high level of revenue concentration with certain customers and constantly works toward decreasing those levels. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, one customer accounted for 10% or more of Grid Dynamics’ revenues. The Company expects to continue its focus on maintaining long-term relationships with customers while diversifying its customer base.

Revenues
Our total revenues grew by 21.7% and 23.7% on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, reaching $101.1 million and $201.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Our growth was driven by strong performance across the Finance and Retail verticals and our 2024 acquisitions.
Revenues by Verticals. We assign our customers into one of our five main vertical markets or a group of various industries where we seek to increase our presence, which we label as “Verticals”. The following table presents our revenues by vertical and revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:
(in thousands, except percentages of revenues)
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail | $29,557 | 29.2% | $26,779 | 32.2% | $61,078 | 30.3% | $51,408 | 31.6% |
| Finance | 25,386 | 25.1% | 12,566 | 15.1% | 50,414 | 25.0% | 22,809 | 14.0% |

Retail remained our largest vertical, contributing 29.2% and 30.3% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Revenues from this vertical increased 10.4% year-over-year to $29.6 million in the second quarter and grew 18.8% to $61.1 million on a year-to-date basis, compared to $26.8 million and $51.4 million for the same periods in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by increased demand from our specialty retail customers and new customer engagements.
Our Finance vertical continued its strong performance, doubling year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter. Second quarter revenues reached $25.4 million, up from $12.6 million in the prior-year period. On a year-to-date basis, the Finance vertical grew by $27.6 million to $50.4 million. Growth in this vertical was driven by increased demand from fintech and insurance customers, along with contributions from our 2024 acquisitions. As a result, Finance has become our second-largest vertical, accounting for approximately 25.0% of total revenues on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis.
The Technology, Media and Telecom (“TMT”) vertical revenue increased 8.4% on a quarterly and 3.2% on a year-to-date basis, reaching $25.2 million for the second quarter and $48.8 million for the first half of 2025. Growth was primarily driven by demand from our technology customers.
CPG and Manufacturing revenues increased 7.7% year-over-year to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, up from $9.8 million in the same period of 2024. On a year-to-date basis, revenues increased 10.2% to $21.4 million compared to $19.4 million in prior-year period. This growth was driven primarily by contributions from our 2024 acquisitions.
The Healthcare and Pharma vertical generated revenues of $2.6 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, representing 2.5% of total revenues in both periods. This compares to $3.2 million and $6.2 million, or 3.8% of total revenues, in the corresponding periods of 2024.
Lastly, the Other vertical remained relatively flat on a quarterly basis but declined $0.9 million on a year-to-date basis. The decrease was primarily from customers in hospitality industry. The Other vertical contributed 7.8% and 7.4% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, down from 9.0% and 9.7% during the respective prior-year periods.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Our cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, including performance bonuses and stock-based compensation, and project-related travel expenses of client-serving professionals. Cost of revenues also includes depreciation and amortization expenses related to client-serving activities.
Cost of revenues was $66.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $13.1 million, or 24.5%, compared to $53.5 million in the same period of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cost of revenues increased by $24.4 million, or 23.1%, reaching $130.0 million, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher headcount, including personnel added through recent acquisitions and foreign currency headwinds.
Gross profit increased to $34.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, up 16.7% from the same period in 2024. For the six-month period, gross profit grew 24.9% year-over-year to $71.5 million. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, gross margin declined on a quarterly basis from 35.6% in the second quarter of 2024 to 34.1% in the current year period. At the same time, on a year-to-date basis, gross margin showed positive trends, reaching 35.5% for the first half of 2025, compared to 35.1% in the prior year period.
Engineering, Research and Development
The principal components of engineering, research and development expenses are salaries and employee benefits, including performance bonuses and stock-based compensation for personnel engaged in the design and development of solutions, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses related to engineering, research and development activities.
Our engineering, research, and development expenses grew 63.4% and 55.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, reaching $6.7 million in the second quarter and $13.2 million for the six-month period. The increase reflects our ongoing investments in customer delivery operations and internally developed software aimed at enhancing our long-term scalability and competitiveness.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses represent spending associated with promoting and selling our services. These expenses are comprised of personnel costs, including performance bonuses and stock-based compensation, marketing events, and travel expenses, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses related to such activities.
Our sales and marketing expenses remained relatively flat in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year, amounting to somewhat above $7.0 million in both periods. On a year-to-date basis, sales and marketing expenses increased by 5.5%, reaching $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $14.6 million in the prior year period. Despite the increase in absolute dollars, our sales and marketing expenses, expressed as a percentage of revenues, declined, reaching 7.0% and 7.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 8.8% and 9.0%, in the corresponding periods of 2024.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include costs to support the business and consist primarily of administrative personnel and officers’ salaries, employee benefits including performance bonuses, stock-based compensation, legal and audit expenses, insurance, operating lease expenses of office premises and other facility costs, workforce global mobility initiatives, restructuring and employee relocation costs not directly related to customer projects, and depreciation and amortization expenses related to such activities. General and administrative expenses include a substantial majority of Grid Dynamics’ stock-based compensation costs for the financial periods discussed herein.
General and administrative expenses increased by 14.7% to $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $18.1 million in the prior year period. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses totaled $45.1 million, reflecting a 13.6% increase from $39.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributed to costs associated with recent acquisitions, including increased compensation, depreciation, amortization, and other acquisition-related costs. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation expenses.
Expressed as a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses continued to decline, reaching 20.5% and 22.4% for the three and six months June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 21.8% and 24.3% in the prior year periods of 2024.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net represents interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, interest expense related to our borrowings, and foreign exchange gains and losses as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and investments in equity securities.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other income, net, reached $7.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, compared to $2.7 million and $5.2 million in the prior year periods. The increase in other income, net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities and higher gains from investments in money market funds, partially offset by foreign currency headwinds.
Provision for Income Tax
Grid Dynamics follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes reflects income earned and taxed in the various U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for tax contingencies or valuation allowances, and the change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, compared to $3.5 million and $4.5 million in the same periods of 2024. The difference in the tax provision was attributable mainly to the income tax benefit for equity compensation during the first and second quarters of 2025 and the change from pre-tax loss to pre-tax income.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Grid Dynamics’ consolidated financial data presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, this Quarterly Report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, or EPS. Grid Dynamics has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by Grid Dynamics’ management to evaluate Grid Dynamics’ core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel. These measures exclude certain expenses that are required under U.S. GAAP. Grid Dynamics excludes these items because they are not part of core operations or, in the case of stock-based compensation, non-cash expenses that are determined based in part on Grid Dynamics’ underlying performance.
Grid Dynamics believes these supplemental performance measurements are useful in evaluating operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by its public industry peers and those regularly used by security analysts, investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.
There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. Grid Dynamics compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measures. Grid Dynamics encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.
Grid Dynamics defines and calculates its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
- Non-GAAP EBITDA: Net income/(loss) before interest income/(expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation expense, transaction-
related costs (which include, when applicable, professional fees, retention bonuses, and consulting, legal and advisory costs related to Grid Dynamics’ merger and acquisition and capital-raising activities), impairment of long-lived assets, restructuring costs, one-time charges, and non-operating income/(expenses), net (which includes mainly foreign currency transaction gains and losses, fair value adjustments and other miscellaneous expenses).
- Non-GAAP net income: Net income/(loss) adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation expense, transaction-related costs (which include, when applicable, professional fees, retention bonuses, and consulting, legal and advisory costs related to Grid Dynamics’ merger and acquisition and capital-raising activities), impairment of long-lived assets, restructuring costs, one-time charges, and non-operating income/(expenses), net (which includes mainly foreign currency transaction gains and losses, fair value adjustments and other miscellaneous expenses), and the tax impacts of these adjustments.
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS: Non-GAAP net income, divided by the diluted weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period.

(1) Transaction and transformation-related costs include, when applicable, external deal costs, transaction-related professional fees, transaction-related retention bonuses, which are allocated proportionally across cost of revenues, engineering, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses as well as other transaction-related costs including integration expenses consisting of outside professional and consulting services.
(2) Geographic reorganization includes expenses connected with military actions of Russia against Ukraine and the exit plan announced by the Company and includes travel and relocation-related expenses of employees from the aforementioned countries, severance payments, allowances as well as legal and professional fees related to geographic repositioning in various locations. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure liquidity in terms of our ability to fund the cash requirements of our business operations, including working capital needs, capital expenditures, contractual obligations, and other commitments with cash flows from operations and other sources of funding. Our current liquidity needs relate mainly to compensation and benefits of our employees and contractors and capital investments to support our growth and geographical expansion. Our ability to expand and grow our business will depend on many factors including our capital expenditure needs and the evolution of our operating cash flows. We may need more cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, including investments or acquisitions.
Our principal source of liquidity continues to be cash generated from our operations. From time to time, we seek additional financing by means of follow-on public offerings of our common stock. The latest offering closed on November 14, 2024 and resulted in $107.6 million of net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. Additionally, we entered into an agreement establishing a revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as an administrative agent for the lenders. The revolving credit facility provides us with $30.0 million of available borrowing capacity. On May 20, 2025, the maturity of this facility was extended to March 15, 2028. See Note 7 “Debt” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report for information regarding our debt.
As of June 30, 2025, Grid Dynamics had cash and cash equivalents amounting to $336.8 million compared to $334.7 million at December 31, 2024. Of these amounts, $42.7 million and $38.6 million, respectively, were held outside the United States, and included Switzerland, the U.K., India, Mexico, Netherlands, Armenia, Moldova, Poland and other countries. We did not have any debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, cash generated from operating activities and proceeds from our November 2024 offering will be sufficient to fund currently expected levels of operating, investing and financing expenditures for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing. However, if our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing, which may be subject to conditions outside of our control and may not be available on terms acceptable to our management or at all.
See Note 7 “Debt”, Note 9 “Leases” and Note 14 “Commitments and contingencies” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report for detailed information on our contractual obligations and commitments.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes Grid Dynamics’ cash flows for the periods indicated:
(in thousands)
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $23,731 | $13,917 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | $(7,313) | $(6,843) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | $(16,853) | $(7,910) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $2,162 | $(349) |
| Net increase/(decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $1,727 | $(1,185) |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (beginning of period) | $335,155 | $257,227 |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (end of period) | $336,882 | $256,042 |
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $9.8 million compared to $13.9 million provided in the same period of 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by changes in working capital, including timing of employee compensation payments and customer collections.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $6.8 million in the prior year period, remaining relatively stable. The cash outflows in both periods were primarily related to our capital expenditures and the capitalization of internally developed projects.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, largely driven by tax withholding obligations related to the issuance of shares in connection with vested equity awards. These obligations were $8.5 million higher as compared to the first half of 2024. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $7.9 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commitments
We do not have any material off-balance sheet commitments or contractual arrangements other than those disclosed in Note 9 “Leases” and Note 14 “Commitments and contingencies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report.
As a result of analysis related to Grid Dynamics’ functional control of its subcontractors, one subcontractor was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and is therefore consolidated in Grid Dynamics’ financial statements. The assets and liabilities of this VIE consist primarily of intercompany balances and transactions, all of which have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements are described in Note 1 to Grid Dynamics’ condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report.
Market risk
As filed, 5,535 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Grid Dynamics has in the past and may in the future be exposed to certain market and credit risks in the ordinary course of business, including exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency rates, and on occasion and to a lesser extent, changes in interest rates and concentration of credit risk. In addition, Grid Dynamics’ international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions. See "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Grid Dynamics is exposed to foreign currency exchange transaction risk related to funding its non-US operations and to foreign currency translation risk related to certain of its subsidiaries’ cash balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, Grid Dynamics’ profit margins are subject to volatility as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. Grid Dynamics’ functional currency apart from the U.S. dollar includes Euro, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Moldovan leu, Polish zloty and Indian rupees. When and where possible, Grid Dynamics seeks to match expenses of each entity to currencies in which revenues are generated, creating a natural hedge. In future periods, Grid Dynamics may also become materially exposed to changes in the value of Serbian dinars and Moldovan leu against the U.S. dollar, due to expansion of operations in these countries.
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, approximately 50.1% of Grid Dynamics’ $101.2 million combined cost of revenues and total operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Comparatively, approximately 41.6% of Grid Dynamics’ $83.0 million of combined cost of revenues and total operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the three months ended June 30, 2024.
In the three months ended June 30, 2025:
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Polish zloty against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $1.5 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the zloty’s value would have resulted in a $1.8 million decrease in income from operations.
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $0.3 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the peso's value would have resulted in a $0.4 million decrease in income from operations.
In the three months ended June 30, 2024:
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Polish zloty against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $1.3 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the zloty’s value would have resulted in a $1.6 million decrease in income from operations.
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Mexican pesos against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $0.3 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the pesos’ value would have resulted in a $0.4 million decrease in income from operations.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, approximately 48.1% of Grid Dynamics’ $203.7 million combined cost of revenues and total operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Comparatively, approximately 40.3% of
Grid Dynamics’ $168.4 million of combined cost of revenues and total operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025:
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Polish zloty against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $2.9 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the zloty’s value would have resulted in a $3.5 million decrease in income from operations.
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $0.6 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the peso's value would have resulted in a $0.7 million decrease in income from operations.
In the six months ended June 30, 2024:
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Polish zloty against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $2.6 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the zloty’s value would have resulted in a $3.1 million decrease in income from operations.
- a 10% decrease in the value of the Mexican pesos against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $0.7 million increase in Grid Dynamics’ income from operations, while a 10% increase in the pesos’ value would have resulted in a $0.8 million decrease in income from operations.
Grid Dynamics analyzes sensitivity to the zloty and peso separately because, in management’s experience, fluctuations in the value of these currencies against the U.S. dollar are frequently driven by distinct macroeconomic and geopolitical factors and have the largest effect on our results.
Grid Dynamics does not currently hedge its foreign currency exposure, although it seeks minimize it by limiting cash transfers to amounts necessary to fund subsidiary operating expenses for a short period, typically one week. However, following a review of its foreign currency exposure, Grid Dynamics’ management expects to adopt and implement new hedging strategies in future periods.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 3,175 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, confirmed there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management to override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Risk factors
As filed, 695 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2025.
The risks and uncertainties that we face are not limited to those set forth above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common stock.
