**Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition**

On September 25, 2025, Accenture plc ("Accenture") issued a news release announcing financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended August 31, 2025.

A copy of the news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99. All information in the news release is furnished but not filed.

**Non-GAAP Financial Information**

In the attached news release Accenture discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

• Free cash flow (defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment additions). Accenture's management believes that this information provides meaningful additional information regarding the company's liquidity.

• Percentage changes in revenues and bookings on a local currency basis. Financial results in local currency are calculated by restating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period's foreign currency exchange rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Accenture's management believes that information regarding changes in its revenues and bookings that excludes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates facilitates meaningful comparison of its revenues.

• Adjusted financial measures excluding the impact of costs recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 in connection with business optimization actions initiated in fiscal 2025 and costs recorded during fiscal 2024 in connection with business optimization actions initiated in fiscal 2023 and completed in fiscal 2024. Accenture's management believes that information regarding the effect of the business optimization costs facilitates an understanding as to the impact of these items and the company's performance in comparison to the prior period.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the news release. While Accenture's management believes that this non-GAAP financial information is useful in evaluating Accenture's operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

| **Q4 FY25 Financial Review** |
| The company expects to increase its overall number of employees in FY26 across its markets, including in the US and countries in Europe, reflecting the demand it sees in its business. In addition to continuing to hire, the company is implementing a refreshed three-pronged talent strategy to meet current and future client demand: including investing in upskilling people, which is its primary focus; exiting people in a compressed timeline where reskilling is not a viable path for the skills it needs; and identifying areas to drive even more operating efficiencies in its business, including through AI. In Q4 FY25, the company initiated a six-month business optimization program and recorded a charge of $615 million. The company also expects to record approximately $250 million in Q1 FY26 for a total of approximately $865 million over the six-month period. This reflects severance costs associated with this talent strategy, as well as the impairment of assets, primarily related to the divestiture of two acquisitions that are no longer aligned with the company's strategic priorities. These actions will result in cost savings, which will be reinvested in its people and business.  |
| **Q4 Operating Margin and Operating Income** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** GAAP operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenues) for the quarter was 11.6%, compared with GAAP operating margin of 14.3%, and adjusted operating margin was 15.1% compared with adjusted operating margin of 15.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.<br>**•** GAAP operating income for the quarter decreased 13% to $2.05 billion compared with GAAP operating income of $2.35 billion, and adjusted operating income was $2.67 billion, an increase of 8% compared with adjusted operating income of $2.46 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Non-GAAP Financial Information**<br>This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial information to Accenture's financial statements as prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in this press release. Financial results "in local currency" are calculated by restating current-period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior-year period's foreign-currency exchange rates. Accenture's management believes providing investors with this information gives additional insights into Accenture's results of operations. While Accenture's management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures herein are useful in evaluating Accenture's operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accenture provides full-year revenue guidance on a local-currency basis and not in U.S. dollars because the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations could vary significantly from the company's stated assumptions. |
