Kyndryl has achieved significant progress in fiscal 2025, generating $375 million in Q4 and $1.2 billion for the full year in revenue from large-scale cloud providers, exceeding its $1 billion target.
This boost comes as Kyndryl, formerly IBM’s infrastructure services unit, enhances its capabilities in AI, cloud, modernization, applications, and security, CEO Martin Schroeter said in the earnings report.
The AI-enabled Kyndryl Bridge platform improved service delivery, enabling the redeployment of over 13,000 delivery professionals and resulting in annualized savings of $775 million, surpassing the $750 million goal.
Efforts to improve contract margins led to $900 million in annualized benefits, exceeding the $850 million target. The company also reported strong projected pretax income margins in recent signings and substantial growth in Kyndryl Consult, with a 45 percent year-over-year revenue increase in Q4 and 26 percent growth for the full year.
AI focus
Kyndryl is leveraging artificial intelligence to drive revenue growth, capitalizing on the rising demand from businesses seeking to integrate AI technology into their IT systems.
Kyndryl’s adjusted pretax income for fiscal 2026 is projected to reach at least $725 million, a $243 million increase from the previous year.
Kyndryl has also been restructuring inherited no-margin contracts from IBM to improve profitability, a strategy that contributed to its net income of $68 million in the latest quarter, reversing a net loss of $45 million in the same period last year.
Kyndryl reported Q4 2025 revenues of $3.8 billion, a 1 percent decline year-over-year but a 1.3 percent increase in constant currency. The company achieved a pretax income of $118 million, reversing a $4 million loss in the prior-year quarter, and a net income of $68 million ($0.28 per share), compared to a net loss of $45 million ($0.20 per share) previously. Cash flow from operations was $581 million.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, revenues were $15.1 billion, a 6 percent decline (4 percent in constant currency), driven by efforts to reduce low-margin third-party content. Pretax income reached $435 million, compared to a $168 million loss in FY 2024. Net income was $252 million ($1.05 per share), up from a $340 million loss ($1.48 per share) in the prior year, with $942 million in cash flow from operations.
Record signings of $18.2 billion, a 46 percent increase, included 55 contracts over $50 million, reflecting growth in Kyndryl Consult and managed services. CFO David Wyshner highlighted the company’s focus on profitable growth and alignment with enterprise technology needs.
