Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Conduent” refer to Conduent Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company identified an error and recorded an out-of-period adjustment to correct the recognition of revenue on a Government segment contract that originated in 2020 and impacted all quarterly periods through December 31, 2022. This adjustment resulted in a reduction to revenue and income (loss) before income taxes of $7 million and a corresponding decrease to accounts receivable of $1 million and an increase to other current liabilities of $6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The Company evaluated the impact of the out-of-period adjustment and concluded it was not material to any previously issued interim or annual consolidated financial statements and the adjustment is not material to the year ending December 31, 2023.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2024, and no material subsequent events were identified.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair values of financial instruments, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards in 2024 that had a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted

Segment Reporting: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued final guidance that expands reportable segment disclosures, particularly incremental segment expense disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is not early adopting this guidance. The Company is currently in the process of gathering the data required to be disclosed upon adoption. As the guidance is disclosure related, adoption will not have any impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued final guidance designed to improve income tax disclosures, particularly disclosures around business entities' income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the reconciliation of an entity's statutory tax rate to its effective tax rate and information about income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is not early adopting this guidance. The Company is currently in the process of gathering the data required to be disclosed upon adoption. As the guidance is disclosure related, adoption will not have any impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the second quarter of 2024, revenue for the BenefitWallet Portfolio (as defined in Note 5 – Divestitures and Assets/Liabilities Held for Sale) and the Curbside Management and Public Safety businesses were reclassified to the Divestitures segment from the Commercial and Transportation segments, respectively. All prior periods presented have been recast to reflect these changes. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major service offering, the timing of revenue recognition and a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue by reportable segment. Refer to Note 4 – Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's reportable segments.

Contract Balances

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets are the Company’s rights to consideration for services provided when the right is conditioned on something other than passage of time (for example, meeting a milestone for the right to bill under the cost-to-cost measure of progress). Contract assets are transferred to Accounts receivable, net when the rights to consideration become unconditional. Unearned income includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract, which are realized when the associated revenue is recognized under the contract.

The following table provides information about the balances of the Company's contract assets, unearned income and receivables from contracts with customers:

Note 4 – Segment Reporting

The Company's reportable segments correspond to how it organizes and manages the business, as defined by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"). The Company's segments involve the delivery of business process solutions on behalf of its clients to improve cost, performance, and end-user experiences.

As described in Note 5 – Divestitures and Assets/Liabilities Held for Sale, the Company transferred or sold certain businesses including (i) its BenefitWallet Portfolio and (ii) its Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses to third parties in the first half of 2024. Accordingly, the results of these disposed businesses, which had previously been reported in the Commercial segment and the Transportation segment, respectively, have been reclassified to the Divestitures segment. All prior periods presented have been recast to reflect these changes.

The Company's financial performance is based on Segment Profit (Loss) for its three reportable segments (Commercial, Government and Transportation), Divestitures and Unallocated Costs. The Company's CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.

Commercial: The Commercial segment provides business process services and customized solutions and services to clients in a variety of industries. Across the Commercial segment, the Company operates on its clients’ behalf to deliver mission-critical solutions and services to reduce costs, improve efficiencies and enhance performance for the Company's clients and deliver better experiences for their consumers and employees.

Government: The Government segment provides government-centric business process services to U.S. federal, state and local government agencies and foreign governments for public assistance, healthcare programs and administration, transaction processing and payment services. The solutions in this segment help governments provide constituents access and delivery of benefits, respond to changing rules for eligibility and keep pace with increasing citizen expectations.

Transportation: The Transportation segment provides systems, support, and revenue-generating solutions, to government transportation agencies. The Company delivers mission-critical mobility and digital payment solutions for public transit and road usage charging that streamline operations, increase revenue and reduce congestion while creating safe, seamless travel experiences for consumers while reducing impact on the environment.

Divestitures includes the Company's BenefitWallet Portfolio for which the Company completed the transfer to a third party in the second quarter of 2024 and its Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses which it sold to a third party in the second quarter of 2024. Refer to Note 5 – Divestitures and Assets/Liabilities Held for Sale for additional information.

Note 6 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs

The Company engages in a series of restructuring programs related to exiting certain activities, downsizing its employee base, outsourcing certain internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce its cost structure and improve productivity. The implementation of the Company's operational efficiency improvement initiatives has reduced the Company's real estate footprint across all geographies and segments resulting in lease right-of-use ("ROU") asset impairments and other related costs. Also included in Restructuring and related costs are incremental, non-recurring costs related to the consolidation of the Company's data centers, and bringing certain technology functions in-house, which totaled $2 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management continues to evaluate the Company's businesses and, in the future, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives and/or changes in previously recorded estimates as payments are made, or actions are completed.

Costs associated with restructuring, including employee severance and lease termination costs, are generally recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally upon communication to the affected employees or exit from the leased facility. In those geographies where the Company has either a formal severance plan or a history of consistently providing severance benefits representing a substantive plan, it recognizes employee severance costs when they are both probable and reasonably estimable. Asset impairment costs related to the reduction of the Company's real estate footprint include impairment of operating lease ROU assets and associated leasehold improvements.

Table of Contents

In March 2024, the Company utilized the proceeds from the closing of the first tranche of the BenefitWallet Transfer to voluntarily prepay $164 million of principal of the Senior Secured Term Loan B due 2028 ("Term Loan B") and wrote-off related debt issuance costs of $2 million which is included in Loss on extinguishment of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

In April and May 2024, the Company voluntarily prepaid $300 million of principal of the Term Loan B and wrote-off related debt issuance costs of $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which is included in Loss on extinguishment of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

At June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the borrowings in the table above.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments

The Company is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As a part of the Company's foreign exchange risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to hedge the funding of foreign entities which have a non-dollar functional currency, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with gross notional values of $189 million and $148 million, respectively. At June 30, 2024, approximately 77% of these contracts mature within three months, 9% in three to six months, 11% in six to twelve months and 3% in greater than twelve months. Most of these foreign currency derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, income statement or cash flows for the periods presented.

Refer to Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company's foreign exchange forward contracts.

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Accounts receivable, net and Short-term debt approximate carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of Long-term debt was estimated using quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments (Level 2 inputs).

Note 10 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has post-retirement pension, savings and investment plans in several countries, including the U.S., India and the Philippines. In many instances, employees participating in defined benefit pension plans that have been amended to freeze future service accruals were transitioned to an enhanced defined contribution plan. In these plans, employees are permitted to contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans. The Company, at its discretion, matches a portion of employee contributions.

The Company recognized an expense related to its defined contribution plans of $2 million and $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $6 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The balance sheet and income statement impacts of any remaining defined benefit plans are immaterial for all periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 12 – Contingencies and Litigation

As more fully discussed below, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning a variety of matters, including: governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; employment law; commercial and contracts law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); and other laws and regulations. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing its litigation and regulatory matters using available information. The Company develops its view on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in the Company's determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts in excess of any accrual for such matter or matters, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters as of June 30, 2024. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters and such outcome in any such matters could be more than any amounts accrued and could be material to the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any reporting period.

Additionally, guarantees, indemnifications and claims arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with suppliers, customers and non-consolidated affiliates when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specified triggering events occur. Nonperformance under a contract could trigger an obligation of the Company. These potential claims include actions based upon alleged exposures to products, real estate, intellectual property (such as patents), environmental matters and other indemnifications. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the outcome of these claims. However, while the ultimate liabilities resulting from such claims may be significant to results of operations in the period recognized, management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or liquidity. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had accrued its estimate of liability incurred under its indemnification arrangements and guarantees.

Litigation Against the Company

Skyview Capital LLC and Continuum Global Solutions, LLC v. Conduent Business Services, LLC: On February 3, 2020, plaintiffs Skyview LLC ("Skyview") filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New York County, New York. The lawsuit relates to the sale of a portion of Conduent Business Service, LLC's ("CBS") select standalone customer care call center business to plaintiffs, which sale closed in February 2019. Under the terms of the sale agreement, CBS received approximately $23 million of notes from plaintiffs (the "Notes"). The lawsuit alleges various causes of action in connection with the acquisition, including: indemnification for breach of representation and warranty; indemnification for breach of contract and fraud. Plaintiffs allege that their obligation to mitigate damages and their contractual right of set-off permits them to withhold and deduct from any amounts that are owed to CBS under the Notes, and plaintiffs seek a judgement that they have no obligation to pay the Notes. On August 20, 2020, CBS filed a counterclaim against Skyview seeking the outstanding balance on the Notes, the amounts owed for the Jamaica deferred closing, and other transition services agreement and late rent payment obligations. CBS also moved to dismiss Skyview’s claims in 2020. In May 2021, the court denied the motion and allowed the claims to proceed. Fact and expert discovery has been concluded and the parties filed summary judgment motions on July 24, 2023. On December 5, 2023, the court heard oral argument on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment and rendered its decision on December 8, 2023, finding there are certain material issues of fact that require trial, and also entering partial summary judgment for each side. On January 5, 2024, CBS filed its notice of appeal of the portion of the ruling that did not grant its motion for summary judgment in its entirety and that granted certain limited relief in favor of plaintiffs. On January 23, 2024, Skyview filed its own notice of appeal, challenging the decision granting a portion of CBS’s counterclaims. CBS continues to deny all the plaintiffs' allegations, believes that it has strong defenses to all of plaintiffs’ claims and will continue to defend the litigation vigorously. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in excess of currently recorded reserves.

Other Contingencies

Certain contracts, primarily in the Company's Government and Transportation segments, require the Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $620 million of outstanding surety bonds issued to secure its performance of contractual obligations with its clients, and $166 million of outstanding letters of credit issued to secure the Company's performance of contractual obligations to its clients as well as other corporate obligations. In general, the Company would only be liable for these guarantees in the event of default in the Company's performance of its obligations under each contract. The Company believes it has sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from its cash flow and its various credit arrangements to allow it to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.

On June 8, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates ("Icahn Parties") pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase an aggregate of approximately 38 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $3.47 per share, the closing price on June 7, 2024, the last full trading day prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $132 million. The purchase was completed and settled on June 10, 2024 and was funded through a combination of cash on hand and a drawdown under the Company’s Revolver.

Series A Preferred Stock

In December 2016, the Company issued 120,000 shares of Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $120 million and an initial fair value of $142 million. The convertible preferred stock earns quarterly cash dividends at a rate of 8% per year ($9.6 million per year). Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 44.9438 shares of common stock for a total of 5,393,000 shares (reflecting an initial conversion price of approximately $22.25 per share of common stock), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Executive Summary

During the first quarter of 2023, we held an investor briefing to communicate the next chapter in the Conduent journey. Our intense emphasis on growth, quality, and efficiency, beginning in the first quarter of 2020, resulted in a strengthened foundation. We remain focused on accelerating growth and enhancing value for our stakeholders and intend to achieve this by doubling down on key themes outlined in the March 2023 investor briefing. We also intend to continue our portfolio rationalization strategy, divesting certain solutions which have either scarcity value outside of Conduent or are capital intensive relative to their growth opportunity, and thereby allowing management the bandwidth and increased capital to focus on solutions where we believe we have competitive advantages or higher growth expectations.

We believe this focus on our portfolio rationalization strategy will result in a more nimble and faster growing Conduent with modest levels of net leverage, enhanced valuation, and significant excess capital to be deployed over time.

During the second quarter of 2024 we have achieved the following:

•Completed the transfer of the BenefitWallet Portfolio, receiving the remaining $261 million of the $425 million total purchase price.

•Completed the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses on April 30, 2024 with a purchase price of $230 million, $50 million of which is deferred to the second quarter of 2025.

•Announced the Casualty Claims Solutions divestiture on May 3, 2024, which is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2024.

•Used the proceeds from the divested businesses to voluntarily prepay $300 million of the Term Loan B.

•Repurchased 43.3 million shares of common stock, including approximately 38 million shares of common stock purchased from the Icahn Parties pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the repurchase from the Icahn Parties was approximately $132 million.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the impact of the Benefit Wallet Transfer and the sale of The Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses. Lost business in all three segments contributed to the decrease and was partially offset by new business ramp, particularly in our Transportation segment.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of the Benefit Wallet Transfer, the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses and lost business in our Commercial and Government segments partially offset by new business ramp, including the State of Victoria contract, stronger volumes and improved operational execution in our Transportation segment.

Cost of Services (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of the Benefit Wallet Transfer and the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses.

Cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased slightly, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the impact of the Benefit Wallet Transfer and the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses partially offset by the absence of a $17 million reversal of liabilities due to the settlement of the Cognizant matter in the prior year period described in Note 16 – Contingencies and Litigation to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") (excluding depreciation and amortization)

SG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses.

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased, compared to the prior year periods, driven by costs to transition away from a technology vendor, partially offset by the impact of the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased, compared to the prior year periods due to the impact of the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses and lower capital investments, partially offset by the current year write-off of an abandoned internal use software asset in our Commercial segment.

Restructuring and Related Costs

We engage in a series of restructuring programs related to optimizing our employee base, reducing our real estate footprint, exiting certain activities, outsourcing certain internal functions, consolidating our data centers and engaging in other actions designed to reduce our cost structure and improve productivity. The following are the components of our Restructuring and related costs:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Severance and related costs	$	3	$	3	$	7	$	23
Data center consolidation costs	2		2		3		4
Termination, insourcing and asset impairment costs	3		8		7		15


Restructuring and related costs	$	8	$	13	$	17	$	42

Restructuring and related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily driven by severance and related costs due to the closure of one of our Commercial segment operations in Europe in the prior year period.

Refer to Note 6 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense represents interest on long-term debt and the amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan B with proceeds from divestitures.

(Gain) Loss on Divestitures and Transaction Costs

The completion of the BenefitWallet Transfer resulted in a gain of $261 million and $425 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The completion of the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety businesses in the second quarter of 2024 resulted in a gain of $108 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, professional fees and other costs related to these consummated and certain other non-consummated transactions considered by the Company are included in this financial statement line item for all periods.

Litigation Settlements (Recoveries), Net

Litigation settlements (recoveries), net for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of a $26 million reversal of reserves due to the settlement of the Cognizant matter.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 28.2%, compared to (3.3)% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The June 30, 2024 rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to state and local taxes, geographic mix of income, and other nondeductible permanent differences, partially offset by tax benefit of valuation allowances released due to the gain from divestitures and tax credits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the geographic mix of income, valuation allowances, and other non-deductible permanent differences, partially offset by tax credits.

The normalized effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 40.5%, primarily due to excluding the impact of the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs and litigation reserve releases. The normalized effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower than the six months ended June 30, 2023 rate primarily due to the geographic mix of income.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released model rules for a 15% global minimum tax, known as Pillar Two. This alternative minimum tax is treated as a period cost beginning in 2024 and does not have a material impact on the Company's financial results of operations for the current period. The Company is continuing monitoring legislative developments, as well as additional guidance from countries that have enacted legislation. We anticipate further legislative activity and administrative guidance in 2024.

Commercial Segment

Revenue

Commercial revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 declined compared to the prior year periods, driven by lost business and lower volumes, partially offset by new business ramp.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

Commercial segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the prior year period due to the impact of lost business and lower volumes, partially offset by new business ramp.

Commercial segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are substantially unchanged compared to the prior year period, with new business and cost efficiencies offsetting lost business and lower volumes. Commercial segment profit also benefited slightly from the impact of lower depreciation.

Government Segment

Revenue

Government revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by lost business and lower volumes, partially offset by the ramping of new business and a non-repeating item in the prior year period.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

Government segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lost business, lower volumes and the absence of a $17 million reversal of liabilities due to the settlement of the Cognizant matter in the prior year period and unfavorable revenue mix.

Transportation Segment

Revenue

Transportation revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by the ramping of new business, including the State of Victoria contract, higher volumes, improved operational performance and less impact from extended implementation timelines compared to the prior year period, partially offset by the non-retained portion of a Tolling contract.


						CNDT Q2 2024 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

Transportation segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to the non-retained portion of a Tolling contract, partially offset by improved operational performance and less impact from extended implementation timelines compared to the prior year period.

Divestitures

Revenue, Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

The decrease in revenue, segment profit and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to the BenefitWallet portfolio and the Curbside Management and Public Safety businesses being included in the full three and six months of the prior year period whereas their results were only included until the date of their transfer and sale, respectively, in 2024.

Unallocated Costs

Unallocated Costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower technology costs and lower employee-related healthcare expenses.

Metrics

We use metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of our resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and evaluate forward-looking projections and trends affecting our business. We disclose these metrics to provide transparency in our performance trends. We present certain key metrics, including Signings and Net ARR Activity below. The metrics for all periods presented below have been recast to remove the activity related to the BenefitWallet Portfolio and the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses.

Signings

Signings are defined as estimated future revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of existing contracts. Total Contract Value ("TCV") is the estimated total contractual revenue related to signed contracts. TCV signings is defined as estimated future revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of existing contracts. Due to the inconsistency of when existing contracts end, quarterly and yearly comparisons are not a good measure of renewal performance. New business Annual Contract Value ("ACV") is calculated as TCV divided by the contract term, in months, multiplied by 12 for an annual measure.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company signed $142 million and $239 million of new business ACV, respectively.

The total new business pipeline at the end of June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $21.8 billion and $19.0 billion, respectively. Total new business pipeline is defined as total new business TCV pipeline of deals in all sell stages. This extends past the next twelve-month period to include total pipeline, excluding the impact of divested business as required.

Net ARR Activity

Net ARR Activity is a metric that is defined as Projected Annual Recurring Revenue for contracts signed in the prior 12 months, less the annualized impact of any client losses, contractual volume and price changes, and other known impacts for which the Company was notified in that same time period, which could positively or negatively impact results. The metric annualizes the net impact to revenue. Timing of revenue impact varies and may not be realized within the forward 12-month timeframe. The metric is for indicative purposes only. This metric excludes non-recurring revenue signings. This metric is not indicative of any specific 12-month timeframe.

The Net ARR activity metric for the trailing twelve months for each of the prior five quarters was as follows:

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total cash and cash equivalents were $300 million and $498 million, respectively. We also have a $550 million revolving line of credit for our various cash needs, of which $3 million was used for letters of credit. The net amount available to be drawn upon under our revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2024, was $547 million.

As of June 30, 2024, our total principal debt outstanding was $833 million, of which $33 million was due within one year. Refer to Note 7 – Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional debt information.

To provide financial flexibility and finance certain investments and projects, we may continue to utilize external financing arrangements. However, we believe that our cash on hand, projected cash flow from operations, sound balance sheet and our revolving line of credit will continue to provide sufficient financial resources to meet our expected business obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table summarizes our cash flows, as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2024		2023		Better (Worse)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(78)	$	(22)	$	(56)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	553	$	(42)	595
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(681)	$	(32)	(649)

Operating activities

The net increase in cash used in operating activities of $56 million, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to lower adjusted EBITDA, slightly higher accounts receivable days sales outstanding and lower days payable outstanding. These were partially offset by lower cash income tax and interest payments. We expect cash tax payments to increase significantly in the second half of 2024 resulting from payments on gains related to our divestitures.

Investing activities

Investing cash flow increased by $595 million mainly due to $599 million of proceeds received from the transfer of the BenefitWallet Portfolio and the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses.

Financing activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by the voluntary prepayment of $464 million of debt using the proceeds received for the transfer of the BenefitWallet Portfolio and the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety businesses as well as the repurchase of $168 million of treasury stock, including the $132 million purchased from the Icahn Parties.

Sales of Accounts Receivable

We have entered into a factoring agreement in the normal course of business as part of our cash and liquidity management, to sell certain accounts receivable without recourse to a third-party financial institution. The transactions under this agreement are treated as sales and are accounted for as reductions in accounts receivable because the agreement transfers effective control over, and risk related to, the receivables to the buyer. Cash proceeds from this arrangement are included in cash flow from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The net impact from the sales of accounts receivable on net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $(16) million and $(24) million, respectively.

Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations

The Company believes its balances of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $300 million as of June 30, 2024, along with cash generated by operations and amounts available for borrowing under its 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond.

At June 30, 2024, the Company’s material cash requirements include debt, leases and estimated purchase commitments. See Part II, Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information on our material cash requirements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

There have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to our critical accounting estimates and policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Changes

See Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements for information on accounting standards adopted during the current year, as well as recently issued accounting standards not yet required to be adopted and the expected impact of the adoption of these accounting standards.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, within this Form 10-Q Part I Item 2 we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures.


						CNDT Q2 2024 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related tax effects. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the results of the current period against the corresponding prior period. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and providing such non-GAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as to how management reviews and evaluates our business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided in the Segment Performance Review above.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin as an additional way of assessing certain aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our on-going business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and contract inducement amortization adjusted for the following items:

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The amortization of acquired intangible assets is driven by acquisition activity, which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period.

•Restructuring and related costs. Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our strategic transformation program.

•Goodwill impairment. This represents goodwill impairment charges related to entering the agreement to transfer the BenefitWallet Portfolio.

•(Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs. Represents (gain) loss on divested businesses and transaction costs.

•Litigation settlements (recoveries), net represents settlements or recoveries for various matters subject to litigation.

•Loss on extinguishment of debt. This represents write-off of debt issuance costs related to prepayments of debt.

•Other charges (credits). This includes Other (income) expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income (loss) and other insignificant (income) expenses and other adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performance. Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Conduent's definition of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We may utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We also may hedge the cost to fund material non-dollar entities by buying currencies periodically in advance of the funding date. This is accounted for using derivative accounting.


						CNDT Q2 2024 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

Recent market and economic events have not caused us to materially modify nor change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 18 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.

During the reporting period, there have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding our market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
