Business-activity disclosure

ExlService Holdings provides data analytics, digital operations and business-process services to insurance, healthcare, financial, retail and other enterprises. The technology and services activity is generally permissible, but the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator for client industries or end uses.

Limitation: No universal prohibited-activity revenue numerator or scholar-specific purification percentage is disclosed; insurance, financial-services and client end-use allocation remains qualitative.

Purification

The filing reports $1.553 million of interest income and dividend income; ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from ExlService Holdings' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • Debt combines $4.886 million of current borrowings, $412.491 million of long-term borrowings and $2.108 million of finance-lease liabilities; operating leases are excluded.
  • Cash is $145.405 million and short-term investments are $108.358 million; net accounts receivable are $388.563 million. Unbilled receivables are included in the filing's gross receivables disclosure and are not added twice.
  • First-quarter revenue is $570.351 million and disclosed interest income and dividend income is $1.553 million (0.27% of revenue).
  • Analytics and business-process-services activity is retained as qualitative analysis; no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
