About EPAM Systems, Inc.
About EPAM Systems, Inc.
EPAM Systems deployed 56,600 delivery professionals across its global network in 2025, with India (12,200 delivery professionals) its largest center, followed by Ukraine (8,750), Poland (5,050), Belarus (3,400), and Mexico (2,950). Overall headcount reached 62,850 employees by December 31, 2025, up from 53,150 at end of 2023. Client utilization of delivery staff was 76.8% in 2025, with top-five clients representing 13.7% of revenues — a share the company expects to decline over the long-term as it diversifies its client base.
EPAM earns revenue through time-based and fixed-price contracts for software engineering, cloud consulting, data analytics, and customer experience design across five main client verticals: financial services, consumer goods and travel, software and hi-tech, business information and media, and life sciences and healthcare. The company competes against large global consulting and outsourcing firms as well as offshore IT services providers in other low-cost destinations. Client concentration is declining: top-five client share fell from 16.6% in 2023 to 13.7% in 2025, and top-ten share from 23.6% to 21.6% over the same period. Voluntary attrition ran at 8.5% in 2025, and 2.6 million employee learning hours were delivered that year. Revenue concentration among repeat clients is high, with 64.4% of 2025 revenues from clients of five or more years and 35.7% from clients of ten or more years.
Show full overview
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 14,100 of EPAM's global delivery, administrative, and support personnel were based in Ukraine and Belarus — both involved in or affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022. The company owns an office building in Kyiv and leases space in multiple Ukrainian cities that could be damaged or destroyed. Some clients have already implemented steps to block internet communications with Ukraine and Belarus, seeking altered delivery locations or reduced contract scope. If prolonged conflict requires further rebalancing of geographic concentrations, the 10-K acknowledges the effect on personnel, operations, and financial results could be material.
