Current report
Retail continued to be our largest vertical, accounting for 31.4% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2025. Revenues from this vertical increased 28.0% on a year-over-year basis, reaching $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This growth was primarily driven by our specialty retail clients.
Current report
Our Finance vertical continued its strong performance, doubling revenues year-over-year for the third consecutive quarter. Revenues reached $25.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, up from $10.2 million in the corresponding period of 2024. The significant growth in this vertical was driven by increased demand from fintech and insurance customers, as well as contributions from our recent acquisitions that added global banking customers. As a result, Finance became our second largest vertical, contributing 24.9% of total revenues for the quarter.
Current report
The Technology, Media and Telecom (“TMT”) vertical remained relatively flat, generating $23.6 million and $24.0 million of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. While we experienced growth from our technology customers, it was offset by decreased demand from some of our telecom customers during the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
Revenues for the CPG and Manufacturing vertical increased 12.7% year-over-year, growing from $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 to $10.8 million during the current year period. This growth was driven by a combination of increased demand from existing customers and our recent acquisitions.
Current report
The Healthcare and Pharma vertical generated $2.4 million of revenues in the first quarter of 2025, representing 2.4% of total revenues, compared to $3.0 million, or 3.8%, of total revenues, in the prior-year period.
Current report
Lastly, our Other vertical declined 15.1% year-over-year with revenues of $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $8.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was largely driven by decreased demand from a subset of customers tied to the hospitality industry. The Other vertical contributed 7.1% and 10.4% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our cost of revenues was $63.4 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 21.6%, compared to $52.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher headcount, including from our recent acquisitions.
Current report
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 increased 33.7% year-over-year to $37.0 million, primarily as a result of higher revenues and utilization levels. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, our gross margins improved by 2.1% to 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 34.7% in 2024.
Current report
Our sales and marketing expenses showed modest growth of $1.0 million to $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $7.3 million in the same period of 2024. Despite the increase in absolute dollars, our sales and marketing expenses, expressed as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 8.2% from 9.1% in the prior-year period.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased by 12.8% to $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $21.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased costs associated with our recent acquisitions, which included expenses related to compensation, depreciation, amortization, and acquisition-related costs, partially offset by lower levels of stock-based compensation expenses. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, our general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.8% to 24.2% during the three months March 31, 2025, compared to 27.0% in the year-ago period.
Current report
Other Income, Net
Current report
Other income, net was $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $2.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase in other income, net during the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by the revaluation of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities and higher gains from investments in money market funds, partially offset by foreign currency headwinds.
Current report
(Benefit from)/Provision for Income Tax
Current report

On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region has resulted and is likely to continue. The impact to Ukraine as well as actions taken by other countries, including new and stricter sanctions imposed by the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other countries and companies and organizations against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia and certain regions of Ukraine, and each country’s potential response to such sanctions, tensions, and military actions could have a material adverse effect on our operations. For example, in response to increased sanctions, Russia could attempt to take control of assets in Ukraine of companies registered in the United States, such as Grid Dynamics. Any such material adverse effect from the conflict and enhanced sanctions activity may disrupt our delivery of services, impair our ability to complete financial or banking transactions, cause us to continue to shift all or portions of our work occurring in the region to other countries, and may restrict our ability to engage in certain projects in the region or involving certain customers in the region.
