India tax authority asserts an additional 33 billion rupees (~$349M at June 30, 2026 rates) owed on a 2016 share repurchase; case remains in litigation with no reserves recorded.
DSO increased to 88 days as of June 30, 2026 from 81 days at December 31, 2025, indicating slower receivables collection.
