Published
Accenture reported $18.72 billion in revenue for Q3 FY2026, the quarter ended May 31, 2026, up 5.6% from a year earlier, with a weaker US dollar supplying a large part of that growth. Net income attributable to Accenture plc was $2.34 billion, up 6.4%, and diluted earnings per share were $3.80, up 8.9%, rising faster than profit because share repurchases lowered the share count. Operating income rose to $3.18 billion, up 6.5%, as higher profit in Europe, the Middle East and Africa offset lower operating income in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

| Business type | professional_services |
| Schema template | Professional services (consulting and managed services). Accenture sells people's time and expertise: it holds no inventory and reports no cost of goods sold or gross profit line, so the income statement is carried as printed, with Revenues, Cost of services, Sales and marketing, General and administrative costs and Business optimization costs leading to Operating income, then net income and the share attributable to Accenture plc, which is the numerator of earnings per Class A ordinary share. The balance sheet is carried line by line (receivables and contract assets, goodwill, deferred revenues, accrued payroll and debt are the lines that matter for this business), and the cash flow statement is centred on operating cash flow, purchases of property and equipment, free cash flow, acquisitions, share repurchases and dividends. Revenue and operating income are also given by reportable segment (the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific geographic markets), and revenue by industry group and by type of work. |

Adjustments
| Splits applied | none |
|---|---|
| ADR ratio | n/a |
| FX | None. Accenture reports in U.S. dollars, so no currency translation was applied. |
| Ads | None. Accenture's Class A ordinary shares are listed directly on the New York Stock Exchange; there are no American depositary shares, so per-share figures are per Class A ordinary share as reported. |
Notes
- Accenture's fiscal year ends on August 31. FY2025 ran from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, and Q3 FY2026 is the three months from March 1 to May 31, 2026.
- Annual figures for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 come from the FY2025 Form 10-K (accession 0001467373-25-000217). Its income statement and cash flow statement cover all three years; its balance sheet covers August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 only, so fiscal 2023 carries no balance sheet here.
- Q3 FY2026 and the year-ago Q3 FY2025 come from the Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q (accession 0001467373-26-000032). The 10-Q prints cash flows for the nine months only, so both quarters' three-month cash flow figures are taken from the condensed cash flow statement in the earnings release furnished on Form 8-K on June 18, 2026 (accession 0001467373-26-000031), recorded as each quarter's cash_flow_source_accession. That statement folds working-capital changes, deferred taxes and other items into one line, so the quarters do not carry the itemised working-capital lines that the annual and nine-month statements show.
- The quarters of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 other than Q3 FY2025 come from Note 17, Quarterly Data (unaudited), of the FY2025 Form 10-K, which prints revenues, cost of services, operating income, net income, net income attributable to Accenture plc, weighted average shares and earnings per share for each quarter. Those quarters carry only those lines. Q3 FY2025 as printed there matches the comparative column of the Q3 FY2026 10-Q exactly. The 10-K and 10-Q do not print Q1 or Q2 of fiscal 2026 on their own, so those quarters are not in this record; they are included in the nine-month figures.
- The statements are printed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per-share amounts; every money figure here has been scaled to actual dollars. Share counts are printed in actual shares and are carried as printed.
- Expense and deduction lines are carried with the sign the statements print: interest expense is negative, and the two lines for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests are negative because the income statement deducts them from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Accenture plc. Cash outflows (purchases of property and equipment, acquisitions, share purchases, dividends) are negative.
- Earnings per share are per Class A ordinary share. Basic EPS divides net income attributable to Accenture plc by basic weighted average shares. Diluted EPS assumes the exchange of Accenture Canada Holdings Inc. exchangeable shares one-for-one into Class A ordinary shares, so its numerator adds back the net income attributable to those noncontrolling interests (Note 3 of the 10-K and 10-Q); that numerator is carried as net_income_for_diluted_eps where the filings print it. The quarters taken from 10-K Note 17 carry the printed EPS but not that numerator.
- Free cash flow is derived as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, which is how Accenture's earnings release defines it ('Operating Cash Flow ... Less: Property & Equipment Additions ... Free Cash Flow'). For Q3 FY2026 this gives $3,599,988 thousand, consistent with the $3.60 billion the release prints.
- Total debt is derived as the current portion of long-term debt and bank borrowings plus long-term debt. Total liabilities is derived as total current liabilities plus total non-current liabilities; Accenture's balance sheet does not print a total liabilities line. At May 31, 2026 the balance sheet also carries $493,874 thousand of redeemable noncontrolling interests outside both liabilities and shareholders' equity (none at August 31, 2025).
- The equity section omits the par value of the ordinary shares ($57 thousand) and Class A ordinary shares ($14 thousand to $15 thousand), so the listed equity components do not add exactly to total Accenture plc shareholders' equity. Share counts issued, held in treasury and Class X shares outstanding are taken from the balance-sheet captions.
- Cash dividends per share for fiscal years come from the 10-K income statement. For Q3 FY2026, $1.63 is the dividend per share paid on May 15, 2026 (10-Q Note 7). The nine-month figure of $4.89 is derived as the sum of the three $1.63 dividends paid on November 14, 2025, February 13, 2026 and May 15, 2026 listed in that note.
- Segment figures are Accenture's three reportable segments, its geographic markets: the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific. The 10-K states that in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 the Latin America market unit moved from Growth Markets to North America, which became the Americas, while Growth Markets became Asia Pacific; prior periods were reclassified, so fiscal 2023 and 2024 are on the current basis. Segment operating income sums to consolidated operating income in every period.
- Business optimization costs of $615,324 thousand in fiscal 2025 and $307,541 thousand in the nine months ended May 31, 2026 (all in Q1 FY2026) relate to a program the 10-Q says was initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, totalling $923 million: $628 million of employee severance and $295 million primarily related to the divestiture of two acquisitions in the Americas. No such costs were recorded in Q3 FY2026 or Q3 FY2025.
- The year_to_date block's adjusted (non-GAAP) figures come from the reconciliation in the June 18, 2026 earnings release (accession 0001467373-26-000031), which excludes the $307,541 thousand of business optimization costs: adjusted operating income $8,850,084 thousand, adjusted net income $6,739,486 thousand and adjusted diluted EPS $10.67, against reported $8,542,543 thousand, $6,489,177 thousand and $10.27. These are company-defined measures, not GAAP.
- The trailing-twelve-months block is derived, not printed: fiscal 2025 plus the nine months ended May 31, 2026 less the nine months ended May 31, 2025. Its revenues reconcile to Q4 FY2025 ($17,596,260 thousand, 10-K Note 17) plus the nine months ended May 31, 2026.
- The FY2025 balance sheet columns of the 10-K and the August 31, 2025 comparative column of the Q3 FY2026 10-Q agree line for line.
- There are no stock splits in the periods covered, no currency translation (Accenture reports in U.S. dollars) and no American depositary shares.
- This record runs through the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Accenture furnished its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results on Form 8-K on October 1, 2026 (accession 0001467373-26-000037); those periods belong to the fiscal 2026 record and are not included here.

- The three-month cash flow figures for Q3 FY2026 and Q3 FY2025 come from an earnings release furnished on Form 8-K, not from the 10-Q, which prints only nine-month cash flows. They tie to the nine-month 10-Q figures in the release's own nine-month columns.
- The quarters taken from Note 17 of the 10-K are labelled unaudited in that note.
- The trailing-twelve-months figures, free cash flow, total debt, total liabilities and the nine-month dividend per share are derived by addition or subtraction of printed figures, not printed themselves.

FAQ · Accenture financial statements
How much revenue did Accenture make in Q3 FY2026?
Accenture reported $18.72 billion in revenue for Q3 FY2026, the quarter ended May 31, 2026, up 5.6% from $17.73 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. Growth was slower in local currency, because a weaker US dollar lifted the reported figure.
What was Accenture's net income in Q3 FY2026?
Accenture's net income attributable to Accenture plc was $2.34 billion for Q3 FY2026, the quarter ended May 31, 2026, up 6.4% from $2.20 billion in the same quarter a year earlier.
What were Accenture's earnings per share in Q3 FY2026?
Accenture earned $3.80 per diluted share in Q3 FY2026, the quarter ended May 31, 2026, up 8.9% from $3.49 a year earlier. Earnings per share grew faster than net income because share repurchases lowered the share count.
What was Accenture's operating income in Q3 FY2026?
Accenture's operating income was $3.18 billion in Q3 FY2026, the quarter ended May 31, 2026, up 6.5% from $2.98 billion a year earlier. Higher profit in Europe, the Middle East and Africa offset lower operating income in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

When does Accenture plc (ACN) next file with the SEC?
Accenture plc (ACN) is due to file its next Form 10-K with the SEC. The projected date, October 9, 2026, has passed, which means the filing is due or overdue rather than already reported here. That date is a projection rather than a company-announced date: it is derived from Accenture plc's own filing history with the SEC, by taking the date the company filed the same fiscal period a year earlier and adding 52 weeks. The most recent periodic report on file is the 10-Q for Q3 FY2026, the period ended 2026-05-31, SEC accession 0001467373-26-000032.
How this page was built
This page was built from four of Accenture plc's own filings with the SEC, read one at a time. Nothing on it is taken from a pre-tagged dataset, a data vendor or another website. The figures are on the company's own fiscal calendar and in actual dollars, as the filings report them. Where the filings do not support a figure, the record says so instead of reporting a zero; this period names three such gaps.
A single company files thousands of pages with the SEC in a year, and no two companies file them the same way, so the reading and the assembly here are done by AI rather than by rules that break on the differences. Every pass is then audited back against the filings it came from before the page is published, and anything the filings do not support is left out and named rather than filled in. AI can still make mistakes. That is why the accession numbers are printed: the filing is the authority, and this page is a route to it.
