Read MoreHide Full Article
CGI Group (GIB - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2022 non-GAAP earnings of $1.21 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.54% and improved 9% year over year.
Revenues of $2.55 billion beat the consensus mark by 0.25%. At constant currency (cc), the top line increased by11.5%.
The growth in revenues was led by the following segments: Asia Pacific, up 23.3%; Western and Southern Europe, up 23.2%; Canada, up 18.2%; and U.S. commercial and state government, up 13.6%.
Top Line Details
