IT services adjusted operating margin measures adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue under Accenture's non-GAAP methodology.

Accenture reported a 15.8% adjusted operating margin in fiscal 2026, up from 15.6% in fiscal 2025. Adjusted operating income was $11.71B.

Adjusted margin expanded modestly

Revenue grew 5% in local currency while adjusted operating margin increased 20 basis points.

That combination shows both top-line growth and incremental operating conversion.

Adjusted and GAAP margin should remain separate

Accenture reported a 15.4% GAAP operating margin in fiscal 2026.
