Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “EPAM”) is a global provider of digital engineering, cloud and AI-enabled transformation services, as well as a leading business and experience consulting partner for global enterprises and ambitious startups. EPAM leverages AI to deliver transformative solutions that accelerate its clients' digital innovation and enhance their competitive edge. In a business landscape that is constantly challenged by the pressures of digitization, EPAM focuses on building long-term partnerships with clients in various industries through innovative and scalable software solutions, integrated strategy, experience and technology consulting, and a continually evolving mix of advanced capabilities. The Company is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of EPAM and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its beliefs of what could occur in the future, given available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments and deposits that are readily convertible into cash, with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired. Highly liquid investments with maturities greater than three months at the date acquired are reported separately from cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables and Contract Assets — The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a trade receivable or a contract asset. A trade receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment is due) regardless of whether the amounts have been billed. Trade receivables are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Outstanding trade receivables are reviewed periodically and allowances are provided for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of trade receivables. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price contracts. Contract assets are recorded when services have been provided but the Company does not have an unconditional right to receive consideration. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the contract carrying amount is greater than the remaining consideration receivable, less directly related costs to be incurred.
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment acquired in the ordinary course of the Company’s operations are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets generally ranging from two to fifty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method which requires it to estimate the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, to properly allocate the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. A substantial portion of the purchase price is typically allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets, which usually include customer relationships, software, trade names, and assembled workforce. The allocation of the purchase price utilizes significant estimates in determining the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. The significant estimates and assumptions used include the timing and amount of forecasted revenues and cash flows, anticipated growth rates, customer attrition rates, the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows and the useful lives for finite-lived assets. There are different valuation models for each component, the selection of which requires considerable judgment. These determinations will affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes are reasonable but recognizes that the assumptions are inherently uncertain.
If the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are reported to present information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Once the measurement period ends, which in no case extends beyond one year from the acquisition date, revisions to the accounting for the business combination are recorded in earnings.
In some business combinations, the Company agrees to contingent consideration arrangements and the Company determines the fair value of contingent consideration using Monte Carlo simulations (which involve a simulation of future revenues and earnings during the earn-out period using management’s best estimates) or probability-weighted expected return methods. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates or probability assumptions related to achieving the various earn-out criteria would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration. Such changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements that are not measurement period adjustments are recorded within Interest and other income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
All acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the carrying value of an asset is more than the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows, an impairment is recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — Goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. The Company conducts its evaluation of goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31st, and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below. The Company does not have intangible assets other than goodwill that have indefinite useful lives.
Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. The Company measures these foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 2 inputs and recognizes them as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company records changes in the fair value of these hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction occurs, the Company reclassifies the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss on the underlying hedge into income. If the Company does not elect hedge accounting, or the contract does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair value from period to period are recorded in income. The cash flow impact of derivatives identified as hedging instruments is reflected as cash flows from operating activities. The cash flow impact of derivatives not identified as hedging instruments is reflected as cash flows from investing activities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company makes assumptions about the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and utilizes the following fair value hierarchy in determining inputs used for valuation:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates or yield curves.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Where the fair values of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets cannot be derived from an active market, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques include a net present value technique, comparison to similar instruments with market observable inputs, option pricing models and other relevant valuation models. To the extent possible, observable market data is used as inputs into these models but when it is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required to establish fair values.
Changes in the fair value of liabilities could cause a material impact to, and volatility in the Company’s operating results. See Note 5 “Fair Value Measurements.”
Leases — The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company performs an assessment and classifies the lease as either an operating lease or a financing lease at the lease commencement date with a right-of-use asset and a lease liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet under both classifications. The Company does not have finance leases that are material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The present value is determined by applying the readily determinable rate implicit in the lease or, if not available, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee on a lease-by-lease basis by developing an estimated centralized U.S. dollar borrowing rate for a fully collateralized obligation with a term similar to the lease term and adjusts the rate to reflect the incremental risk associated with the foreign currency in which the lease is denominated. The development of this estimate includes the use of recovery rates, U.S. risk-free rates, foreign currency/country base rate yields, and a synthetic corporate credit rating of the Company developed using regression analysis. Lease agreements of the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease and the Company includes such options in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Right-of-use assets are recognized based on the initial measurement of the lease liabilities plus initial direct costs less lease incentives and, according to the guidance for long-lived assets, right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected a practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of lease assets with an original term of twelve months or less.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs on defined benefit pension plans. In addition, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair values of these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company's consolidated balance sheets until the settlement of those contracts.
Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 which requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services as well as requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from client contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.
The Company recognizes revenues when control of goods or services is passed to a client in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Such control is generally transferred over time based on satisfaction of obligations stipulated by the contract. Consideration expected to be received may consist of both fixed and variable components and is allocated to each separately identifiable performance obligation based on the performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price. Variable consideration usually takes the form of volume-based discounts, service level credits, price concessions or incentives. Determining the estimated amount of such variable consideration involves assumptions and judgment that can have an impact on the amount of revenues reported.
The Company derives revenues from a variety of service arrangements, which have been evolving to provide more customized and integrated solutions to clients by combining software engineering with client experience design, business consulting and technology innovation services. Fees for these contracts may be in the form of time-and-materials or fixed-price arrangements. The Company generates the majority of its revenues under time-and-materials contracts, which are billed using hourly, daily or monthly rates to determine the amounts to be charged directly to the client. The Company applies a practical expedient and revenues related to time-and-materials contracts are recognized based on the right to invoice for services performed.
Fixed-price contracts include maintenance and support arrangements which may exceed one year in duration. Maintenance and support arrangements generally relate to the provision of ongoing services and revenues for such contracts are recognized ratably over the expected service period. Fixed-price contracts also include application development arrangements, where progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using input or output methods and input methods are used only when there is a direct correlation between hours incurred and the end product delivered. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period.
Revenues from licenses which have significant stand-alone functionality are recognized at a point in time when control of the license is transferred to the client. Revenues from licenses which do not have stand-alone functionality are recognized over time.
If there is an uncertainty about the receipt of payment for the services, revenue recognition is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. The Company applies a practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component if the period between transfer of the service to a client and when the client pays for that service is one year or less.
The Company reports reimbursable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred as both revenues and cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization) — Consists principally of salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, project-related travel costs and fees for subcontractors who are assigned to client projects. Salaries and other compensation expenses of our delivery professionals are reported as cost of revenues regardless of whether the employees are actually performing services for clients during a given period. Additionally, government incentives and assistance related to services performed by delivery professionals assigned to client projects are reported in cost of revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Consists of expenses associated with promoting and selling the Company’s services and general and administrative functions of the business. These expenses include the costs of salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, severance, bad debt, travel, legal and accounting services, insurance, facilities including operating leases, advertising and other promotional activities. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses contain costs of relocating our employees and various one-time expenses such as impairment charges.
Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes the cost of its equity settled stock-based incentive awards based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of these awards at the date of grant is generally based on the grant-date price of the company's shares. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (”ESPP”) is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The cost is generally expensed evenly over the service period, unless otherwise specified by the award agreement. The service period is the period over which the employee performs the related services, which is normally the same as the vesting period. Equity-based awards that do not require future service are expensed immediately. For awards with performance conditions, the amount of compensation cost we recognize over the requisite service period is based on the actual or expected achievement of the performance condition. Quarterly, the forfeiture assumption is adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures and such adjustment may affect the timing of recognition of the total amount of expense recognized over the vesting period. Stock-based awards that do not meet the criteria for equity classification are recorded as liabilities and adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Government Assistance Programs and Incentives — The Company benefits from various government incentives in some countries where it operates in the form of cash grants or refundable tax credits. The eligibility to receive such assistance and amounts to be granted are determined based on regulations issued by the relevant government authorities. The incentives are generally based on qualifying expenditures or subject to achieving certain employment and investment targets. The Company accounts for government assistance by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20 ("IAS 20"), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company recognizes the benefits from government assistance when it has reasonable assurance it will comply with the terms of the assistance and the assistance will be received.
Income Taxes — The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be reversed. Changes to enacted tax rates would result in either increases or decreases in the provision for income taxes in the period of changes.
The realizability of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future earnings. The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A reduction in estimated forecasted results may require that we record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Once a valuation allowance has been established, it will be maintained until there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. A pattern of sustained profitability will generally be considered as sufficient positive evidence to reverse a valuation allowance. If the allowance is reversed in a future period, the income tax provision will be correspondingly reduced. Accordingly, the increase and decrease of valuation allowances could have a significant negative or positive impact on future earnings.
Earnings per Share (“EPS”) — Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and the stock to be issued under the ESPP. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement — Assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average monthly exchange rates. The adjustment resulting from translating the financial statements of such foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative translation adjustment and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
For consolidated foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the local currency, transactions and balances denominated in the local currency are foreign currency transactions and balances. Foreign currency balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency of the subsidiary at historical exchange rates while monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency of the subsidiary at period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange gains or losses from remeasurement are included in income in the period in which they occur.
Risks and Uncertainties — As a result of its global operations, the Company may be subject to certain inherent risks. 
Concentration of Credit — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions. The Company believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk and there is no expectation of non-performance by the counterparties.
The Company has cash in several countries, including Ukraine and Belarus, where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability; banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets; and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. The Company regularly monitors cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support its operations in these countries, the Company distributes the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors to the extent it is possible to do so. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $49.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Ukraine and $37.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Belarus. In April 2024, Belarus instituted restrictions on distributing dividends from Belarus to shareholders in certain countries, including the U.S. The restrictions are scheduled to remain in place until the end of 2026 and may prevent EPAM from distributing excess funds, if any, out of Belarus. The Company does not expect these restrictions to have a material impact on its ability to meet its worldwide cash obligations during this period.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions considered stable in the region, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution and conducts ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of the financial institutions with which it does business. However, a banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold the Company’s funds, or sanctions may result in the loss of deposits or adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete banking transactions, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.
Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many clients operating in different industries and geographies; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited. Historically, credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables have not been material to the consolidated financial statements. If the Company’s clients enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress, the Company’s credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables could increase, which would negatively impact its results of operations.
Foreign currency risk — The Company’s global operations are conducted predominantly in U.S. dollars. Other than U.S. dollars, the Company generates revenues in various currencies, principally in euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars and incur expenditures principally in euros, Polish zlotys, Indian rupees, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Swiss francs, Hungarian forints, Colombian pesos, and Canadian dollars. The Company’s international operations expose it to risk of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (both third-party and intercompany) and translation of earnings and cash flows into U.S. dollars. The Company has a hedging program whereby it enters into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Polish zloty, Indian rupee, Hungarian forint and Mexican peso transactions. See Note 6 “Derivative Financial Instruments for further information on the Company’s hedging program.
Interest rate risk — The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from variable rates related to cash and cash equivalent deposits, short-term investments and the Company’s borrowings, mainly under the 2025 Credit Agreement, which is subject to a variety of rates depending on the type and timing of funds borrowed (See Note 10 “Debt”). The Company does not believe it is exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates related to these deposits, investments and borrowings.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Unless otherwise discussed below, the adoption of new accounting standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures — In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 16 “Income Taxes” for the new disclosure required by this ASU.
Pending Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that the Company will adopt according to the various timetables the FASB specifies. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company believes the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Government Grants — In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This update is intended to provide recognition, measurement and presentation guidance for government grants received by business entities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and is currently assessing the timing of adopting this ASU.
Intangible Assets - Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software — In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This update is intended to modernize software accounting guidance by removing references to software development project stages and requiring entities to capitalize software costs when management has (i) authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting this ASU.
Income Statement - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses — In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance is intended to provide investors enhanced disclosures and requires public companies to disaggregate key expense types in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company plans to adopt this standard in 2027 and is currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU.

IMPACT OF THE INVASION OF UKRAINE IMPACT OF THE INVASION OF UKRAINE
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine and its people, and through the issuance date of these financial statements, there has been no resolution to this attack. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $59.4 million of property and equipment, net in Ukraine consisting of a building classified as construction-in-progress located in Kyiv with a net book value of $52.3 million, laptops with a net book value of $5.2 million, most of which are in the possession of employees, and various office furniture, equipment and supplies with a net book value of $1.9 million. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had operating lease right-of-use assets located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $3.1 million. Through the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any significant damage to its long-lived assets in Ukraine and the Company expects to continue to use these assets as part of its global delivery model.
On March 4, 2022, the Company announced a $100 million humanitarian commitment to support its employees and their families in and displaced from Ukraine. This humanitarian commitment is in addition to donations from EPAM's clients and employees and the work of EPAM volunteers on the ground and the Company’s spending under this commitment included special cash payments to support impacted employees, financial and medical support for impacted families, and donations to third-party humanitarian organizations. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company expensed $14.6 million, $13.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively, related to this commitment. Of the expensed amount for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $2.3 million, $2.4 million and $11.3 million, respectively, is classified in cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and $12.3 million, $10.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, is classified in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $10.1 million remaining to be expensed related to this humanitarian commitment.
Following the invasion, the Company executed its business continuity plans to assist employees residing in Ukraine and the surrounding region, who were impacted by the war and geopolitical uncertainty, in relocating to other countries and to assign delivery personnel in locations outside of the region to serve in unbilled standby or backup capacities to ensure the continuity of delivery for its clients who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion and ongoing war. In addition to costs incurred as part of EPAM’s humanitarian commitment to Ukraine, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred $0.0 million, $0.8 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, related to its geographic repositioning efforts, which are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company also incurred $9.4 million of expenses related to standby resources, which were classified in cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).
In response to the attacks on Ukraine, EPAM announced on March 4, 2022, it would discontinue services to customers located in Russia. On July 26, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its remaining holdings in Russia to a third-party. The Company recorded a loss on sale of $25.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, including the recognition of the accumulated currency translation loss related to this foreign entity that was previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements.

The foreign exchange derivatives are valued using pricing models and discounted cash flow methodologies based on observable foreign exchange data at the measurement date. See Note 6 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding derivative financial instruments.
The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities was determined using a probability-weighted expected return method and is based on the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. Although there is significant judgment involved, the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable. In determining fair value, the Company considered a variety of factors, including future performance of the acquired businesses using financial projections developed by the Company and market risk assumptions that were derived for revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxes. The Company estimated future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreements and adjusted those estimates to reflect the probability of their achievement. Those weighted average estimated future payments were then discounted to present value using a rate based on the weighted average cost of capital of guideline companies. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the 2025 Acquisition was 15%. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of assumed contingent consideration for the NEORIS acquisition was 18%. The discount rates used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the Other 2024 Acquisitions ranged from a minimum of 12% to a maximum of 20%. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the 2023 Acquisitions was 16.0%. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates or probability assumptions related to achieving the various earnout criteria would result in a change in the fair value of the recorded contingent liabilities. Such changes, if any, are recorded within Interest and other income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities using significant unobservable inputs is as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has a hedging program whereby it enters into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Polish zloty, Indian rupee, Hungarian forint, and Mexican peso transactions.
The Company measures derivative instruments and hedging activities at fair value and recognizes them as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. Accounting for the gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. As of December 31, 2025, all of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts were designated as hedges.
Derivatives may give rise to credit risks from the possible non-performance by counterparties. The Company has limited its credit risk by entering into derivative transactions only with highly rated financial institutions and by conducting an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of the financial institutions with which the Company does business. There is no financial collateral (including cash collateral) required to be posted by the Company related to the foreign exchange forward contracts.
The fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASES
The Company leases office space, corporate apartments, office equipment, and vehicles. Many of the Company’s leases contain variable payments including changes in base rent and charges for common area maintenance or other miscellaneous expenses. Due to this variability, the cash flows associated with these variable payments are not included in the minimum lease payments used in determining the right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for such payments is incurred. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 0.1 to 6.1 years. Certain lease agreements, mainly for office space, include options to extend or terminate the lease before the expiration date. The Company considers such options when determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company leases and subleases a portion of its office space to third parties. Lease income and sublease income were not material for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Revolving Credit Facility — On October 3, 2025, the Company replaced its 2021 Credit Agreement with an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2025 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2025 Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “2025 Revolving Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $700.0 million, with the potential to increase the borrowing capacity up to $1,200.0 million if lenders agree to increase their commitments and the Company satisfies certain conditions. The 2025 Credit Agreement matures on October 3, 2030.
Borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Facility may be denominated in U.S. dollars or up to a maximum of $250.0 million equivalent in British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, euros or Swiss francs and other currencies as may be approved by the lenders. Borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Facility bear interest at either a base rate or an alternative benchmark index for borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The base rate is equal to the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate, or (c) the Daily Simple SOFR Rate, plus 1.0%, so long as the Daily Simple SOFR Rate is offered, ascertainable and not unlawful. The 2025 Credit Agreement includes customary business and financial covenants that may restrict the Company’s ability to make or pay dividends (other than certain intercompany dividends) if a potential or actual event of default has occurred or would be triggered. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the 2025 Credit Agreement.
The following table presents the outstanding debt and borrowing capacity of the Company under the 2025 Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and the 2021 Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2024:

COST OPTIMIZATION PROGRAMS COST OPTIMIZATION PROGRAMS
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company initiated the 2025 Cost Optimization Program to improve utilization and profitability. This program has and is expected to continue to include workforce reductions. The Company expects to complete all restructuring actions commenced under the 2025 Cost Optimization Program by the end of the second quarter of 2026 and to incur additional charges of approximately $25.0 million. The actual amount and timing of severance and other costs are dependent in part upon local country processes and regulations and may differ from our current expectations and estimates.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company initiated the 2024 Cost Optimization Program to streamline operations and optimize corporate functions. This program included workforce reductions and contract terminations. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had completed all restructuring actions commenced under the 2024 Cost Optimization Program.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company initiated the 2023 Cost Optimization Program to streamline operations and optimize corporate functions. This program included workforce reductions and closure of underutilized facilities. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had completed all restructuring actions commenced under the 2023 Cost Optimization Program.
The total costs related to the cost optimization programs are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The Company did not allocate these charges to individual segments as they are not considered by the chief operating decision maker during the review of segment results. Accordingly, such expenses are presented in our segment reporting as part of “Other unallocated expenses” (See Note 19 “Segment Information”).

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
REVENUES REVENUES
Our revenues are sourced from multiple countries, which we assign into three geographic markets identified as Americas, EMEA, and APAC. The Company presents and discusses revenues by client location based on the location of the specific client site that it serves, irrespective of the location of the headquarters of the client or the location of the delivery center where the work is performed. Revenues by client location is different from revenues by reportable segment as segments are not based on the geographic location of the clients, but instead they are based on the location of the Company’s management responsible for a particular client or market (see Note 19 “Segment Information”). The Company assigns clients into one of five main industries or a group of various industries where the Company is increasing its presence, which is labeled as “Emerging Verticals.” Emerging Verticals include clients in multiple industries such as automotive, energy, industrial materials, manufacturing, telecommunications and several others.
Disaggregation of Revenues
The following tables present the disaggregation of the Company’s revenues by major client location, including a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenues with the Company’s reportable segments (Note 19 “Segment Information”) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Contract assets comprise amounts where the Company’s right to bill is contingent on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets have increased from December 31, 2024 primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition ahead of billing milestones in contracts where the Company’s right to bill is contingent upon achievement of contractual milestones. Contract liabilities comprise amounts collected from the Company's clients for revenues not yet earned and such amounts are anticipated to be recorded as revenues when services are performed in subsequent periods. Contract liabilities have increased from December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher levels of advance collections at the end of the year including $51.2 million from a single customer.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $52.7 million of revenues that were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $21.3 million of revenues that were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2023.

Research and Development Expense [Abstract]  
POLAND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES POLAND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
The Company is eligible for research and development (“R&D”) tax relief in Poland which allows the Company to reduce its tax base through bonus deductions for specific costs, such as salaries and social security contributions for employees working on R&D projects. The Company is able to utilize this tax relief by first offsetting its corporate income tax liability and then, to the extent the tax relief exceeds its corporate income tax liability, reducing future remittances of personal income tax withholding for qualified employees.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized benefits of $55.2 million related to R&D activities completed in Poland which were recorded as a reduction to cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company initially determined it was eligible for the R&D tax relief in Poland and recognized benefits of $68.8 million of which $23.5 million related to 2023 R&D activities and $45.4 million related to R&D activities completed during the year ended December 31, 2024 which were recorded as a reduction to cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2025, $21.6 million of benefits were included in prepaid and other current assets and $75.3 million of benefits were included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet related to the Poland R&D incentive. As of December 31, 2024, $23.1 million of benefits were included in prepaid and other current assets and $34.3 million of benefits were included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet related to the Poland R&D incentive.

Equity Plans
On May 22, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved the EPAM Systems, Inc. 2025 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) to be used to issue equity grants to Company personnel. The 2025 Plan is a new plan that replaces the EPAM Systems, Inc. 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2025 Plan reserves up to 1,585,970 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance, plus any shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2015 Plan and any predecessor plans that return to the share pool as a result of cancellation or forfeiture. The 2025 Plan will expire 10 years after the effective date and is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, 1.709 million shares of common stock are available for issuance to Company personnel and 487 thousand shares of common stock are available for issuance to non-employee directors as of December 31, 2025. All of the awards issued pursuant to the long-term incentive plans expire 10 years from the date of grant.
In addition, the Company maintains an ESPP to enable eligible employees to purchase shares of EPAM’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation at the end of each designated offering period, which occurs every six months ending April 30th and October 31st. The purchase price is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of EPAM’s common stock on the first date of an offering or the date of purchase, whichever is lower. As of December 31, 2025, 213 thousand shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the ESPP.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants RSUs to Company personnel and non-employee directors. In addition, the Company has issued in the past, and may issue in the future, equity awards to compensate employees of acquired businesses for future services. Equity settled awards granted in connection with acquisitions of businesses may be issued in the form of service-based awards requiring continuing employment with the Company, restricted stock subject to trading restrictions, and performance-based awards, which would vest only if certain specified performance and service conditions are met. The awards issued in connection with acquisitions of businesses are subject to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable award agreements and acquisition documents.

As of December 31, 2025, $13.5 million of total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to performance-based equity-classified RSUs is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 1.6 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted to its named executive officers and certain other members of senior management performance-based equity-classified RSU awards that vest after 3 years, contingent on meeting certain financial performance targets, market conditions and continued service. The financial performance targets are set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the beginning of each year. For the portion of the awards subject to market conditions, fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The portion of the awards associated with financial performance in future years for which the financial performance targets have not yet been determined are not considered granted for accounting purposes. There were 70 thousand such awards as of December 31, 2025.

Options expected to vest as of December 31, 2025112 $293.02 $— 7.5
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The model incorporated the following weighted average assumptions:
For the Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Expected volatility— %52.1 %50.2 %
Expected term (in years)6.256.23
Risk-free interest rate— %4.3 %3.6 %
Expected dividends— %— %— %
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the periods equal to the expected term of the options in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025. The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $164.47 and $156.11, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $54.5 million, $113.3 million and $89.8 million, respectively.
The Company recognizes the fair value of each option as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The options are typically scheduled to vest over four years from the time of grant, subject to the terms of the applicable plan and stock option agreement. The Company records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest and as such, the Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate at the time of grant and adjusts the forfeiture rate estimate quarterly to reflect actual forfeiture activity. In general, in the event of a participant’s voluntary termination of service, unvested options are forfeited as of the date of such termination without any payment to the participant and the cumulative amount of previously recognized expense related to the forfeited options is reversed.
As of December 31, 2025, $5.9 million of total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) enables eligible employees to purchase shares of EPAM’s common stock at a discount at the end of each designated offering period, which occurs every six months ending April 30th and October 31st. The purchase price is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of EPAM’s common stock on the first date of an offering or the date of purchase, whichever is lower. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to shares issued pursuant to the ESPP on a straight-line basis over the six-month offering period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of shares issued under the ESPP. The Black-Scholes model relies on a number of key assumptions to calculate estimated fair values. The model incorporated the following weighted average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:
For the Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Expected volatility43.4 %43.2 %48.0 %
Expected term (in years)0.500.500.50
Risk-free interest rate4.0 %4.9 %5.3 %
Expected dividends— %— %— %
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected term represents the purchase period for the ESPP. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period equal to the expected term in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the weighted average price per share was $160.12 and the weighted average grant-date fair value per share was $43.12. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the ESPP participants purchased 213 thousand shares of common stock under the ESPP and the Company recognized $9.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP. As of December 31, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to the ESPP was $3.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.33 years.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the weighted average price per share was $212.17 and the weighted average grant-date fair value per share was $56.34. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the ESPP participants purchased 181 thousand shares of common stock under the ESPP and the Company recognized $10.0 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the weighted average price per share was $248.23 and the weighted average grant-date fair value per share was $69.74. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the ESPP participants purchased 173 thousand shares of common stock under the ESPP and the Company recognized $12.6 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP.
Share Repurchases
On October 16, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2025 Repurchase Program”) for up to $1,000 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company may repurchase shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase program has a term of 24 months, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock. Prior to the authorization of the 2025 Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased common stock under the 2024 Repurchase Program and exhausted the $500 million authorized under that program as of September 30, 2025. Prior to the authorization of the 2024 Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased common stock under the 2023 Repurchase Program and exhausted the $500 million authorized under that program as of June 30, 2024.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 3,538 thousand and 1,854 thousand shares of its common stock for $660.6 million and $398.0 million, respectively, in cash. All of the repurchased shares have been retired. As of December 31, 2025, a remaining balance of $776.5 million was available for purchases of the Company’s common stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program.

As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Act”), as determined as of December 31, 2017, the Company was required to make annual installment payments for the one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax at a rate of 15.5% to the extent of foreign cash and certain other net current assets and 8.0% on the remaining earnings. As of December 31, 2025, all installment payments have been made, and there is no remaining unpaid balance.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $930.7 million of accumulated undistributed foreign earnings that are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. These accumulated foreign earnings are not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax if repatriated but could be subject to state and foreign income and withholding taxes. The Company does not consider undistributed foreign earnings that are not expected to be subject to any taxes to be indefinitely reinvested.

The Company’s worldwide effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was 25.3%, 22.2% and 22.3%, respectively.
The Company recorded a tax shortfall upon vesting or exercise of stock awards of $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 and excess tax benefits upon vesting or exercise of stock awards of $22.4 million and $19.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development issued Pillar Two model rules for a global minimum tax of 15% effective January 1, 2024. Pillar Two did not have a significant impact on the Company’s 2025 or 2024 effective tax rate and is not currently expected to significantly impact the Company’s effective tax rate going forward.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company classified $77.0 million and $92.4 million, respectively, of deferred tax liabilities as Other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s domestic and foreign net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $0.9 million and $117.2 million, respectively. If not utilized, a portion of the domestic NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2026. The foreign NOL carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely, with the exception of $12.2 million that will begin to expire on various dates between 2026-2031 if not used. The Company maintains a valuation allowance primarily related to the net operating loss carryforwards in certain foreign jurisdictions that the Company believes are not likely to be realized, which totaled $70.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $12.4 million and $11.5 million, respectively. These amounts represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in future periods and are included in Income taxes payable, noncurrent within the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company accrued $2.5 million and $2.1 million respectively, of interest and penalties resulting from such unrecognized tax benefits.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. federal government enacted tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“the OBBB Act”), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions. The tax law changes included in the OBBB Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025; however, the Company expects an acceleration of certain deductions resulting in a $24.5 million reduction in cash tax payments associated with the 2025 tax year.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, unvested equity-settled RSUs and the stock to be issued under the Company’s ESPP. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock as follows:
 For the Years Ended December 31,
 202520242023

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Dec. 31, 2025
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Indemnification Obligations  In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These obligations typically arise in contracts where the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters, infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, data privacy violations, and certain tortious conduct in the course of providing services. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite.
The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. Management is not aware of any such matters that would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Litigation — From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. In the opinion of management, the outcome of any existing claims and legal or regulatory proceedings, if decided adversely, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Ukraine Humanitarian Commitment — On March 4, 2022, EPAM announced that it has established a $100.0 million humanitarian commitment to support its employees in Ukraine and their families. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $10.1 million remaining to be expensed related to this humanitarian commitment. See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for more information regarding commitments to humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
Deferred Consideration — During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased software licenses for use in the regular course of business in exchange for an upfront payment and fixed, subsequent annual payments due over the next 4 years. This agreement was modified during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the undiscounted deferred consideration amounts owed totaled approximately $30.1 million and are expected to be paid in 2026. See Note 7 “Property and Equipment, Net” for more information regarding the purchase of software licenses.
Contractual Commitment — On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a 5-year agreement for cloud services through which it committed to spending at least $75.0 million over the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2025, $46.7 million remains to be spent under this contractual commitment. The Company has the ability to cancel the commitment whereby it would incur a cancellation penalty of 20% of the remaining contractual commitment.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company determines its business segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes the segments to evaluate performance, allocate resources and make business decisions. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer. The Company manages its business primarily based on the managerial responsibility for its client base and market. As managerial responsibility for a particular client relationship generally correlates with the client’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between client locations and the geographic boundaries of the Company’s reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular client is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between client executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the client’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.
Starting in 2025, the Company renamed its North America segment to Americas. The new name reflects the evolving geographic footprint and growth of operations within the segment, particularly in Latin America. This constitutes a naming change only and no changes were made to amounts previously reported.
Segment results are based on the segment’s revenues and operating profit, where segment operating profit is defined as segment income from operations before unallocated costs. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Intersegment transactions are excluded from the segment’s revenues and operating profit on the basis that they are neither included in the measure of a segment’s profit and loss results, nor considered by the CODM during the review of segment results. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to specific segments as these expenses are not controllable at the segment level. Such expenses include certain types of professional fees, certain taxes included in operating expenses, compensation to non-employee directors and certain other general and administrative expenses, including compensation of specific groups of non-production employees. In addition, the Company does not allocate amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs and certain other one-time charges and benefits. These unallocated amounts are combined with total segment operating profit to arrive at consolidated income from operations as reported below in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to consolidated income before provision for income taxes. Additionally, management has determined that it is not practical to allocate identifiable assets by segment since such assets are used interchangeably among the segments.
The Company’s CODM considers the operating results of each segment on a quarterly basis and uses segment operating profit predominantly to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and to historical performance. When combined with certain other financial information, this enables the CODM to make decisions about the reporting structure, allocation of operating and capital resources, and compensation of certain employees.
On July 26, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its remaining holdings in Russia to a third-party. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer has operations associated with this segment. See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for more information.
Segment revenues from external clients and segment operating profit, as well as a reconciliation of segment operating profit to consolidated income before provision for income taxes is presented below:

For these reasons, EPAM maintains a cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes periodic reviews of our risks and responses and also includes company-wide risk assessments by internal and external cyber risk professionals. Our program is designed to address risks related to both EPAM’s corporate information technology network and our cybersecurity services.
The governance structure, controls, and processes of our information security programs are based on industry best practices, our own practices and frameworks, and codified cybersecurity and information technology standards, including compliance with the International Organization Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission 27001:2002 Information Security Management Systems standard, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, the Center for Internet Security Controls, as well as applicable laws and regulations. We are regularly subject to evaluations, assessments, audits, tests, and compliance inspections by clients and third-party auditors that we or our clients engage to evaluate and test our cybersecurity risk management processes. We have established processes and a committee to gather facts to make a multi-layered evaluation and determination of the impact and materiality of cybersecurity incidents and to apply information learned from each incident to protect EPAM, its personnel, and its clients from future cybersecurity risks.
In addition to internal and external assessments of our own preparedness, we also seek to evaluate cybersecurity risks arising from our vendors and other third-party service providers. We review third-party cybersecurity controls through questionnaires and contract reviews, including adding security and privacy addenda to our contracts where applicable, and generally receive or commission system and organization controls reports, if available. We also generally require that our vendors and subcontractors that have access to confidential information or access to EPAM’s systems report cybersecurity incidents to us so that we can assess the impact of an incident if it occurs. Vendors that are unable to provide adequate reporting or that have access to sensitive data generally have their cybersecurity processes and procedures reviewed and our relationship with that vendor is further assessed on the basis of those reviews. Our assessment of risks associated with use of third-party providers is part of our overall cybersecurity risk management framework.

Cybersecurity Risk Role of Management [Text Block]
Several of the members of our Board of Directors have extensive experience in the information technology and information security industries, so our entire Board historically oversaw EPAM’s cybersecurity risk exposure and our management’s processes for identifying, monitoring, and mitigating cybersecurity risks. In 2024, the Board delegated
cybersecurity and information technology systems oversight to the Audit Committee while simultaneously creating a subcommittee of the Audit Committee solely focused on EPAM’s cybersecurity and information security, including risk monitoring, assessment and management systems and policies. The purpose of the delegation was to increase bilateral access and communication between our cybersecurity management and our Board members and to supplement and accelerate the cadence of cybersecurity updates and discussion in addition to the regular briefings provided to the entire Board. The Board has renewed the cybersecurity subcommittee delegation each year since its inception.
In addition to regular and periodic updates to the cybersecurity subcommittee, our Chief Information Security Officer (or the EPAM employee holding an equivalent position) briefs the Board on our cybersecurity and information security programs and risks, both as a regular, standalone topic and as part of EPAM’s enterprise risk management program, where it remains rated as a high priority risk that has been integrated into our regular enterprise risk management assessments. Members of the Board or its leadership, as well as designated members of functional areas such as legal and communications, are also informed of cybersecurity incidents with the potential to have a business impact on EPAM, even if the incidents are not material to EPAM.
Our information security programs are led by our Chief Information Security Officer and encompass our overall information security strategy, policy, operations, threat detection and response management. Our Chief Information Security Officer has held information security and cybersecurity roles of increasing responsibility in multiple industries at regional and global scale for more than 25 years. Our information security leadership is also responsible for notifying our management and members of the Board about cybersecurity threats and incidents. Our information security team reports to our information security leadership and selects, deploys, and operates cybersecurity technologies, initiatives, and processes across our global footprint and develops and monitors government, public, and private threat intelligence sources to continually enhance our enterprise security structure and system resilience. Our personnel and end-users who are not assigned to our information security organization also contribute to our cybersecurity defense matrix by engaging in various learning modules and events, including simulations, tabletop exercises, and mandatory annual compliance and threat awareness training. The results and feedback from our exercises and training programs are subsequently incorporated into our evolving cybersecurity strategy. We built a security operations center to constantly monitor our global information security posture and to receive threat notifications and coordinate the investigation and remediation of alerts. In the event of an incident, we have developed detailed incident response playbooks that outline the identification, assessment, remediation, and prevention steps that we follow when responding to a cybersecurity threat.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of EPAM and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates — The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its beliefs of what could occur in the future, given available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments and deposits that are readily convertible into cash, with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired. Highly liquid investments with maturities greater than three months at the date acquired are reported separately from cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables and Contract Assets Trade Receivables and Contract Assets — The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a trade receivable or a contract asset. A trade receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment is due) regardless of whether the amounts have been billed. Trade receivables are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Outstanding trade receivables are reviewed periodically and allowances are provided for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of trade receivables. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price contracts. Contract assets are recorded when services have been provided but the Company does not have an unconditional right to receive consideration. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the contract carrying amount is greater than the remaining consideration receivable, less directly related costs to be incurred.
Property and Equipment Property and Equipment — Property and equipment acquired in the ordinary course of the Company’s operations are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets generally ranging from two to fifty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Business Combinations Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method which requires it to estimate the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, to properly allocate the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. A substantial portion of the purchase price is typically allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets, which usually include customer relationships, software, trade names, and assembled workforce. The allocation of the purchase price utilizes significant estimates in determining the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. The significant estimates and assumptions used include the timing and amount of forecasted revenues and cash flows, anticipated growth rates, customer attrition rates, the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows and the useful lives for finite-lived assets. There are different valuation models for each component, the selection of which requires considerable judgment. These determinations will affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes are reasonable but recognizes that the assumptions are inherently uncertain.
If the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are reported to present information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Once the measurement period ends, which in no case extends beyond one year from the acquisition date, revisions to the accounting for the business combination are recorded in earnings.
In some business combinations, the Company agrees to contingent consideration arrangements and the Company determines the fair value of contingent consideration using Monte Carlo simulations (which involve a simulation of future revenues and earnings during the earn-out period using management’s best estimates) or probability-weighted expected return methods. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates or probability assumptions related to achieving the various earn-out criteria would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration. Such changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements that are not measurement period adjustments are recorded within Interest and other income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
All acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Long-Lived Assets Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the carrying value of an asset is more than the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows, an impairment is recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — Goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. The Company conducts its evaluation of goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31st, and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below. The Company does not have intangible assets other than goodwill that have indefinite useful lives.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. The Company measures these foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 2 inputs and recognizes them as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company records changes in the fair value of these hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction occurs, the Company reclassifies the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss on the underlying hedge into income. If the Company does not elect hedge accounting, or the contract does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair value from period to period are recorded in income. The cash flow impact of derivatives identified as hedging instruments is reflected as cash flows from operating activities. The cash flow impact of derivatives not identified as hedging instruments is reflected as cash flows from investing activities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company makes assumptions about the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and utilizes the following fair value hierarchy in determining inputs used for valuation:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates or yield curves.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Where the fair values of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets cannot be derived from an active market, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques include a net present value technique, comparison to similar instruments with market observable inputs, option pricing models and other relevant valuation models. To the extent possible, observable market data is used as inputs into these models but when it is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required to establish fair values.
Changes in the fair value of liabilities could cause a material impact to, and volatility in the Company’s operating results.
Leases
Leases — The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company performs an assessment and classifies the lease as either an operating lease or a financing lease at the lease commencement date with a right-of-use asset and a lease liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet under both classifications. The Company does not have finance leases that are material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The present value is determined by applying the readily determinable rate implicit in the lease or, if not available, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee on a lease-by-lease basis by developing an estimated centralized U.S. dollar borrowing rate for a fully collateralized obligation with a term similar to the lease term and adjusts the rate to reflect the incremental risk associated with the foreign currency in which the lease is denominated. The development of this estimate includes the use of recovery rates, U.S. risk-free rates, foreign currency/country base rate yields, and a synthetic corporate credit rating of the Company developed using regression analysis. Lease agreements of the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease and the Company includes such options in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Right-of-use assets are recognized based on the initial measurement of the lease liabilities plus initial direct costs less lease incentives and, according to the guidance for long-lived assets, right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected a practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of lease assets with an original term of twelve months or less.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs on defined benefit pension plans. In addition, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair values of these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company's consolidated balance sheets until the settlement of those contracts.
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 which requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services as well as requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from client contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.
The Company recognizes revenues when control of goods or services is passed to a client in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Such control is generally transferred over time based on satisfaction of obligations stipulated by the contract. Consideration expected to be received may consist of both fixed and variable components and is allocated to each separately identifiable performance obligation based on the performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price. Variable consideration usually takes the form of volume-based discounts, service level credits, price concessions or incentives. Determining the estimated amount of such variable consideration involves assumptions and judgment that can have an impact on the amount of revenues reported.
The Company derives revenues from a variety of service arrangements, which have been evolving to provide more customized and integrated solutions to clients by combining software engineering with client experience design, business consulting and technology innovation services. Fees for these contracts may be in the form of time-and-materials or fixed-price arrangements. The Company generates the majority of its revenues under time-and-materials contracts, which are billed using hourly, daily or monthly rates to determine the amounts to be charged directly to the client. The Company applies a practical expedient and revenues related to time-and-materials contracts are recognized based on the right to invoice for services performed.
Fixed-price contracts include maintenance and support arrangements which may exceed one year in duration. Maintenance and support arrangements generally relate to the provision of ongoing services and revenues for such contracts are recognized ratably over the expected service period. Fixed-price contracts also include application development arrangements, where progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using input or output methods and input methods are used only when there is a direct correlation between hours incurred and the end product delivered. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period.
Revenues from licenses which have significant stand-alone functionality are recognized at a point in time when control of the license is transferred to the client. Revenues from licenses which do not have stand-alone functionality are recognized over time.
If there is an uncertainty about the receipt of payment for the services, revenue recognition is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. The Company applies a practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component if the period between transfer of the service to a client and when the client pays for that service is one year or less.
The Company reports reimbursable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred as both revenues and cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization) — Consists principally of salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, project-related travel costs and fees for subcontractors who are assigned to client projects. Salaries and other compensation expenses of our delivery professionals are reported as cost of revenues regardless of whether the employees are actually performing services for clients during a given period. Additionally, government incentives and assistance related to services performed by delivery professionals assigned to client projects are reported in cost of revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Consists of expenses associated with promoting and selling the Company’s services and general and administrative functions of the business. These expenses include the costs of salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, severance, bad debt, travel, legal and accounting services, insurance, facilities including operating leases, advertising and other promotional activities. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses contain costs of relocating our employees and various one-time expenses such as impairment charges.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes the cost of its equity settled stock-based incentive awards based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of these awards at the date of grant is generally based on the grant-date price of the company's shares. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (”ESPP”) is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The cost is generally expensed evenly over the service period, unless otherwise specified by the award agreement. The service period is the period over which the employee performs the related services, which is normally the same as the vesting period. Equity-based awards that do not require future service are expensed immediately. For awards with performance conditions, the amount of compensation cost we recognize over the requisite service period is based on the actual or expected achievement of the performance condition. Quarterly, the forfeiture assumption is adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures and such adjustment may affect the timing of recognition of the total amount of expense recognized over the vesting period. Stock-based awards that do not meet the criteria for equity classification are recorded as liabilities and adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Government Assistance Programs and Incentives
Government Assistance Programs and Incentives — The Company benefits from various government incentives in some countries where it operates in the form of cash grants or refundable tax credits. The eligibility to receive such assistance and amounts to be granted are determined based on regulations issued by the relevant government authorities. The incentives are generally based on qualifying expenditures or subject to achieving certain employment and investment targets. The Company accounts for government assistance by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20 ("IAS 20"), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company recognizes the benefits from government assistance when it has reasonable assurance it will comply with the terms of the assistance and the assistance will be received.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes — The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be reversed. Changes to enacted tax rates would result in either increases or decreases in the provision for income taxes in the period of changes.
The realizability of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future earnings. The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A reduction in estimated forecasted results may require that we record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Once a valuation allowance has been established, it will be maintained until there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. A pattern of sustained profitability will generally be considered as sufficient positive evidence to reverse a valuation allowance. If the allowance is reversed in a future period, the income tax provision will be correspondingly reduced. Accordingly, the increase and decrease of valuation allowances could have a significant negative or positive impact on future earnings.
Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Earnings per Share (“EPS”) — Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and the stock to be issued under the ESPP. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement
Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement — Assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average monthly exchange rates. The adjustment resulting from translating the financial statements of such foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative translation adjustment and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
For consolidated foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the local currency, transactions and balances denominated in the local currency are foreign currency transactions and balances. Foreign currency balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency of the subsidiary at historical exchange rates while monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency of the subsidiary at period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange gains or losses from remeasurement are included in income in the period in which they occur.
Risks and Uncertainties
Risks and Uncertainties — As a result of its global operations, the Company may be subject to certain inherent risks. 
Concentration of Credit — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions. The Company believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk and there is no expectation of non-performance by the counterparties.
The Company has cash in several countries, including Ukraine and Belarus, where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability; banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets; and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. The Company regularly monitors cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support its operations in these countries, the Company distributes the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors to the extent it is possible to do so. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $49.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Ukraine and $37.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Belarus. In April 2024, Belarus instituted restrictions on distributing dividends from Belarus to shareholders in certain countries, including the U.S. The restrictions are scheduled to remain in place until the end of 2026 and may prevent EPAM from distributing excess funds, if any, out of Belarus. The Company does not expect these restrictions to have a material impact on its ability to meet its worldwide cash obligations during this period.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions considered stable in the region, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution and conducts ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of the financial institutions with which it does business. However, a banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold the Company’s funds, or sanctions may result in the loss of deposits or adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete banking transactions, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.
Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many clients operating in different industries and geographies; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited. Historically, credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables have not been material to the consolidated financial statements. If the Company’s clients enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress, the Company’s credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables could increase, which would negatively impact its results of operations.
Foreign currency risk — The Company’s global operations are conducted predominantly in U.S. dollars. Other than U.S. dollars, the Company generates revenues in various currencies, principally in euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars and incur expenditures principally in euros, Polish zlotys, Indian rupees, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Swiss francs, Hungarian forints, Colombian pesos, and Canadian dollars. The Company’s international operations expose it to risk of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (both third-party and intercompany) and translation of earnings and cash flows into U.S. dollars. The Company has a hedging program whereby it enters into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Polish zloty, Indian rupee, Hungarian forint and Mexican peso transactions. See Note 6 “Derivative Financial Instruments for further information on the Company’s hedging program.
Interest rate risk — The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from variable rates related to cash and cash equivalent deposits, short-term investments and the Company’s borrowings, mainly under the 2025 Credit Agreement, which is subject to a variety of rates depending on the type and timing of funds borrowed (See Note 10 “Debt”). The Company does not believe it is exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates related to these deposits, investments and borrowings.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Pending Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Unless otherwise discussed below, the adoption of new accounting standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures — In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 16 “Income Taxes” for the new disclosure required by this ASU.
Pending Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that the Company will adopt according to the various timetables the FASB specifies. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company believes the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Government Grants — In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This update is intended to provide recognition, measurement and presentation guidance for government grants received by business entities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and is currently assessing the timing of adopting this ASU.
Intangible Assets - Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software — In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This update is intended to modernize software accounting guidance by removing references to software development project stages and requiring entities to capitalize software costs when management has (i) authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting this ASU.
Income Statement - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses — In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance is intended to provide investors enhanced disclosures and requires public companies to disaggregate key expense types in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company plans to adopt this standard in 2027 and is currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU.
Non-Marketable Securities Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
Non-Marketable Securities Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
