FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") and any exhibits to this Form 10-Q may contain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Litigation Reform Act"). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
Description of Business
Conduent Incorporated is a New York corporation, organized in 2016. Conduent delivers digital business solutions and services spanning the commercial, government and transportation spectrum – creating valuable outcomes for its clients and the millions of people who count on them. The Company leverages cloud computing, artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning, automation and advanced analytics to deliver mission-critical solutions. Through a dedicated global team of approximately 53,000 associates, as well as process expertise and advanced technologies, Conduent's solutions and services digitally transform its clients’ operations to enhance customer experiences, improve performance, increase efficiencies and reduce costs.
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 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, 2024. 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, 2024.
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
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, 2024.
During 2025, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described therein.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Standards 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. As the guidance is disclosure related, adoption did not have any impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The required additional disclosure is included in Note 4 – Segment Reporting.
New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted
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 required disclosure will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. As the guidance is disclosure related, adoption will not have any impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: In November 2024, the FASB issued final guidance designed to enhance financial reporting by requiring public business entities to disclose additional details regarding specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements for both interim and annual periods. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is not early adopting this guidance. 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
In 2024, revenue from the BenefitWallet Portfolio and the Casualty Claims Solutions business were reclassified to the Divestitures segment from the Commercial segment. In addition, in 2024, revenue from the Curbside Management and Public Safety businesses was reclassified to the Divestitures segment from the Transportation segment. All prior periods presented have been recast to reflect these changes.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company updated the presentation of disaggregated revenue by major service offering within the Commercial segment. This change had no impact on disaggregated revenue by reportable segment or the timing of revenue recognition. All prior periods presented have been revised to reflect this change.
The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major service offering and reportable segment and the timing of revenue recognition. Refer to Note 4 – Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's reportable segments and Note 5 – Divestitures for additional information on the Company's divestitures.

There have been no changes to the major service offerings within the Government and Transportation segments as disclosed in Note 2 - Revenue in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. As noted above, the Company has updated the presentation of its major service offerings within the Commercial segment. These major service offerings are described as follows:
Customer Experience Management: The Company delivers a full range of customer contact services including customer care, technical support, loyalty management, and outbound and inbound sales, handling many complex interactions and representing the brands of its clients. The Company creates better experiences across the customer lifecycle through a variety of channels including chat, email, voice and virtual agent to help customers where and how they want to engage.

The Company serves marquee clients across multiple sectors, including the financial services, healthcare and life sciences, logistics, technology, telecom, travel and hospitality sectors, helping to resolve complex issues for their customers with empathy and effectiveness.
Business Process as a Service ("BPaaS"): The Company helps its clients digitally transform business processes and drive efficiency, automation and scale across essential business functions. The Company streamlines client operations through its deep industry experience, understanding of its clients’ needs and the latest technology solutions to reduce costs, improve security, performance and accuracy, and enable revenue growth, while enhancing the end-user experience. The Company's portfolio of BPaaS solutions spans payment integrity, finance, accounting, and procurement, human capital, legal and compliance, and bank and lending.
Integrated Digital Solutions: The Company drives efficiencies for clients with more digitized processes across the customer and document lifecycle through automation, data analytics and AI-powered solutions.

The Company's solutions span: document and claims processing; health plan administration; scanning and digitization of mailrooms, data and documents; omnichannel digital and physical communications, including print and mail and solutions focused specifically in the pharmaceutical and banking industries.
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).

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 its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), and are aligned to the industries in which the Company's clients operate. The Company's segments involve the delivery of business process services and include service arrangements where it manages a customer's business activity or process.
Divestitures includes the Company's BenefitWallet Portfolio for which the Company completed the transfer in the second quarter of 2024, its Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses which it sold in the second quarter of 2024 and its Casualty Claims business which it sold in the third quarter of 2024. Refer to Note 5 – Divestitures for additional information.
The Company's CODM evaluates the Company's financial performance based on Segment profit (loss) for its three reportable segments - Commercial, Government and Transportation. The Company's CODM uses Segment profit (loss) information to monitor budget versus actual results and then uses this information to help make informed decisions about future resource investment, potential restructuring of segments to enhance overall company performance, and future divestitures and acquisitions.
The Company's CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information as a significant portion of the assets is managed at the total company level.
•Commercial: The Commercial segment provides business process services that span its clients' businesses end-to-end from the front-office to the back-office for a variety of commercial industries. These solutions are both cross-industry and industry-specific in nature. 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 and solutions to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign governments for public assistance, healthcare programs and administration, transaction processing, payment services and case management. In this segment, the Company helps governments respond to changing rules for eligibility and keep pace with increasing citizen expectations, modernize legacy technology systems, combat benefits fraud and shift in response to an evolving regulatory environment.
•Transportation: The Transportation segment provides government agencies and transportation authorities around the world with systems, support and revenue-generating solutions serving toll and fare collections as well as mobility and digital payments that help streamline operations and increase revenue to government transportation agencies. With an expanded focus on sustainability and enhancing the quality of life for citizens and communities around the world, the Company's solutions help reduce congestion and greenhouse emissions, while creating seamless travel experiences for consumers throughout transportation ecosystems.

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, which totaled $0 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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.
A summary of the Company's restructuring program activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

At March 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with gross notional values of $209 million and $203 million, respectively. At March 31, 2025, approximately 78% of these contracts mature within three months, 8% in three to six months, 10% in six to twelve months and 4% 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 condensed consolidated 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.
Summary of Financial Assets and Liabilities Accounted for at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table represents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The basis for the measurement at fair value in all cases was Level 2.

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
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 $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 March 31, 2025. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.
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 Condensed Consolidated Financial position or liquidity. As of March 31, 2025, 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 Capital LLC and Continuum Global Solutions LLC (collectively "Skyview") filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Conduent Business Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("CBS"). The lawsuit relates to the sale of a portion of CBS's 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 in principal amount of promissory 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 covenant; and fraud. Plaintiffs alleged 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 sought a judgment that they have no obligation to pay the Notes. On August 20, 2020, CBS filed counterclaims against Skyview seeking the outstanding balance on the Notes, the amounts owed for operating certain Jamaica-based call centers on plaintiffs' behalf pending closing (the "Jamaica Deferred Closing"), other obligations under a transition services agreement and TSA amendments (the "TSAs"), 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 concluded and the parties filed summary judgment motions in July 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. The parties' appeals have been fully briefed and the Court has scheduled oral argument for May 2025.
In July 2024, Skyview informed CBS of its intention to sell a portion of its call center business. The parties reached an agreement on August 8, 2024, under which, contemporaneously with the closing of such a transaction, Skyview would pay the outstanding principal plus interest due on the outstanding Notes, fully discharging Skyview's obligations under the Notes, and would pay certain of CBS's litigation costs.
On September 24, 2024, Skyview and the buyer announced a signed and binding asset purchase agreement. Following regulatory review, the transaction closed in December 2024, at which point Skyview paid CBS $33 million, representing the outstanding principal and interest due on the Notes and reimbursement of certain litigation costs. Skyview has withdrawn its arguments in the litigation regarding its purported right to set-off amounts due under the Notes, though Skyview's claims for alleged fraud, breach of covenant, and breach of representation and warranty otherwise are unaffected. In addition, CBS dismissed its two counterclaims related to the Notes. CBS's remaining counterclaims related to the Jamaica Deferred Closing, the TSAs, and rent payment obligations are unaffected.
CBS continues to deny all of 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 estimates 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had $549 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.
Note 13 – Preferred Stock
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.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Unless otherwise noted, transactions and other factors significantly impacting our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity are discussed in order of magnitude. Our MD&A is presented in seven sections:
•Overview;
•Financial Information and Analysis of Results of Operations;
•Metrics;
•Capital Resources and Liquidity;
•Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies;
•Recent Accounting Changes; and
•Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes.
Overview
We deliver digital business solutions and services spanning the commercial, government and transportation spectrum – creating valuable outcomes for our clients and the millions of people who count on them. We leverage cloud computing, artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning, automation and advanced analytics to deliver mission-critical solutions. Through a dedicated global team of approximately 53,000 associates, process expertise and advanced technologies, our solutions and services digitally transform our clients’ operations to enhance customer experiences, improve performance, increase efficiencies and reduce costs.
Headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey, we have operations in 24 countries as of March 31, 2025.
Our reportable segments correspond to how we organize and manage the business and are aligned to the industries in which our clients operate. These three segments are:
•Commercial – Our Commercial segment provides business process services that span our clients' businesses end-to-end from the front-office to the back-office for a variety of commercial industries. These solutions are both cross-industry and industry-specific in nature. Across the Commercial segment, we operate on our clients’ behalf to deliver mission-critical solutions and services to reduce costs, improve efficiencies and enhance performance for our clients and deliver better experiences for their consumers and employees.
•Government – Our Government segment provides government-centric business process services and solutions to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign governments for public assistance, healthcare programs and administration, transaction processing, payment services and case management. In this segment, we help governments respond to changing rules for eligibility and keep pace with increasing citizen expectations, modernize legacy technology systems, combat benefits fraud and shift in response to an evolving regulatory environment.
•Transportation – Our Transportation segment provides government agencies and transportation authorities around the world with systems, support and revenue-generating solutions serving toll and fare collections as well as mobility and digital payments that help streamline operations and increase revenue to government transportation agencies. With an expanded focus on sustainability and enhancing the quality of life for citizens and communities around the world, our solutions help reduce congestion and greenhouse emissions, while creating seamless travel experiences for consumers throughout transportation ecosystems.
Executive Summary
Our intense emphasis on growth, quality, and efficiency, beginning in the first quarter of 2020, resulted in a strengthened foundation. Building on this solid foundation, during 2023, we held an investor briefing outlining our three-year strategy. We continue to execute on this strategy and remain focused on accelerating growth and enhancing value for our stakeholders. We intend to achieve this by doubling down on key themes outlined in the 2023 investor briefing including focusing on key growth areas within each of our businesses, continuing 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 taking a balanced approach to allocating capital including internal investments in our solutions, pre-paying debt and repurchasing common shares.
We believe this strategy has resulted and will continue to result in a more nimble and faster growing Conduent with modest levels of net leverage, enhanced valuation, and a stronger balance sheet.
2025 is the year in which we intend to complete the remaining commitment of $1 billion of deployable capital through further portfolio rationalization, achieving the financial 2025 exit rate targets we have been anchoring to throughout this 3-year journey, as well as demonstrating revenue growth in the remaining Conduent portfolio of businesses.
During the first quarter of 2025 we achieved the following:
•Began the second phase of our portfolio rationalization strategy to be executed in 2025, focusing on assets that are either capital intensive or have a negative impact on our earnings profile.
•Transitioned the tolling system for New York State to an innovative, cloud-based platform, benefiting both the Tolling Authorities and the millions of motorists who use the state's roadways. The new platform, a first of its kind in the country, enables faster transactions, expanded payment options, simplified account management and improved customer experience. The upgrade included a comprehensive redesign of the state’s tolling website and its mobile app for E-ZPass® and Tolls by Mail customers, giving them more control over managing their accounts. In addition, the New York Tolling Authorities now have an integrated customer service phone number for all toll-related needs, plus additional payment and customer service options. These include the ability for customers to message live agents, pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay, and request information or make changes to their accounts without needing to speak with a representative.
•In our Government segment, we are seeing opportunities at the intersection of two market trends: the increased use of AI and the increased focus on fraud, waste and abuse in government benefits. As communicated previously, one of our AI pilots, in collaboration with Microsoft, leverages traditional rules-based AI combined with GenAI to help prevent account take-over fraud in government benefit payments. We have successfully moved this pilot into production, and, for the past few months, we have been using the solution to prevent fraud in our payments solution. With this solution, we have been able to increase the volume of cases for fraud detection by 150% helping us prevent more fraud.
Cyber Event
On January 13, 2025, the Company experienced an operational disruption and learned that a threat actor gained unauthorized access to a limited portion of the Company’s environment (the "cyber event"). Upon detection, the Company activated its cybersecurity response plan with the help of external cybersecurity experts to contain, assess, and remediate the incident. The Company restored the affected systems and returned to normal operations within days, and in some cases, hours. The disruption did not have a material impact to the Company’s operations.
As part of its ongoing investigation, the Company determined that the threat actor exfiltrated a set of files associated with a limited number of the Company’s clients. Due to the complexity of the files, the Company engaged cybersecurity data mining experts to evaluate the exfiltrated data and was recently informed of its nature, scope and validity, confirming that the data sets contained a significant number of individuals’ personal information associated with our clients’ end-users. The Company is continuing to further analyze and document the precise and detailed impact of the data exfiltrated, and clients are being informed as appropriate in order to determine next steps as required by federal and state law. To the Company’s knowledge, the exfiltrated data has not been released on the dark web or otherwise publicly.
While the Company did not experience material impacts to its operating environment or costs from the event itself, the Company has incurred and accrued material non-recurring expenses in the first quarter related to the event based on potential notification requirements. The Company maintains a cyber insurance policy and has also notified federal law enforcement authorities of the incident.
It is possible that future risks and uncertainties resulting from the cyber event—including those related to impacted data, litigation, reputational harm, and regulatory actions—could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. See also Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors).

Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased compared to the prior year period, approximately 54% of which was due to the impact of the Benefit Wallet Transfer and the sales of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions and Casualty Claims Solutions businesses. Excluding the divestitures impact, lost business and lower Commercial volumes contributed to the decrease and were partially offset by new business ramp, particularly in our Commercial and Transportation segments.
Cost of Services (excluding depreciation and amortization)
Cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of the Benefit Wallet Transfer and the sales of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions and Casualty Claims Solutions businesses. Excluding the divestitures impact, lower expenses on lower revenues and cost optimizations contributed to the decline.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") (excluding depreciation and amortization)
SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased, compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by $25 million of direct response costs related to the cyber event. This was partially offset by a $9 million benefit from the recovery of legal costs from one of our insurance carriers related to the previously disclosed State of Texas matter that settled in February 2019 as well as cost efficiencies in our corporate functions.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased, compared to the prior year period due to the impact of fully amortized assets still in use and the sales of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions and Casualty Claims Solutions businesses.
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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Restructuring and related costs | | | | | | $ | 4 | | | $ | 9 | |
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 months ended March 31, 2025 decreased, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the 2024 voluntary prepayments of the entire Term Loan B balance outstanding and a portion of the Term Loan A balance with proceeds from divestitures.
(Gain) Loss on Divestitures and Transaction Costs
The completion of the first tranche of the BenefitWallet Transfer in the first quarter of 2024 resulted in a gain of $164 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, professional fees and other costs related to certain consummated and 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 9.0%, compared to 21.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The March 31, 2025 rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, due primarily to geographic mix of income, valuation allowances recorded on net deferred tax assets and discrete tax items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due primarily to incremental tax from geographic mix of income and state taxes partially offset by tax benefit from valuation allowance and audit settlement reserve releases.
Excluding the impact of amortization, restructuring, divestiture, reserves for the Direct response costs - cyber event, valuation allowances and discrete tax items, the normalized effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 23.9%. The normalized effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 22.2%, due primarily to excluding the impact of the BenefitWallet Transfer, restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, litigation reserve, audit settlement reserve release, valuation allowance and other discrete tax items. The normalized effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than the rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily 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 continues to monitor legislative developments, as well as additional guidance from countries that have enacted legislation.
Operations Review of Segment Revenue and Profit
Our financial performance is based on Segment Profit (Loss) and Segment Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the following three segments:
•Commercial;
•Government; and
•Transportation.
Divestitures include our BenefitWallet Portfolio and our Casualty Claims Solutions businesses (both of which were reclassified from our Commercial segment) and our Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses (which was reclassified from our Transportation segment).
Unallocated Costs includes IT infrastructure costs that are shared by multiple reportable segments, enterprise application costs and certain corporate overhead expenses not directly attributable or allocated to our reportable segments.

Commercial Segment
Revenue
Commercial revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 declined compared to the prior year period, driven by lower volumes, partially offset by new business ramp outpacing lost business.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
Commercial segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower volumes and a higher proportion of fixed technology overhead, partially offset by cost efficiencies. Commercial segment profit also benefited from the impact of lower depreciation due to the prior year write-off of internal use software and fully amortized assets.
Government Segment
Revenue
Government revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by lost business in our Government Healthcare business and some discrete negative impacts from the establishment of reserves for service level disputes.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
Government segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the revenue drivers mentioned above partially offset by cost efficiencies and lower expenses driven by our fraud prevention activities in our Government Services business resulting from the investments we have been making in AI.
Transportation Segment

Transportation revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 declined compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the non-retained portion of a Tolling contract offset by incremental revenue in the retained portion of the same contract related to the go-live of our congestion charging back office solution, as well as reduced activities from our smaller projects.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
Transportation segment profit and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased due to the absence of costs to transition the non-retained portion of a Tolling contract, partially offset by the revenue drivers mentioned above.
Divestitures
Revenue, Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
The decrease in revenue, segment profit and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period was due to the transfer of the BenefitWallet portfolio, and the sale of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses and Casualty Claims Solutions businesses in 2024.
Unallocated Costs
Unallocated Costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the Direct response costs - cyber event, partially offset by a $9 million recovery of legal costs from one of our insurance carriers related to the previously disclosed State of Texas matter that settled in February 2019 as well as cost efficiencies in our corporate functions.
Metrics
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.
Signing information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

___________
(1)Recurring revenue signings are for new business contracts longer than one year.
(2)Non-recurring revenue signings are for contracts shorter than one year.
(3)Adjusted to remove new business signings of the Curbside Management and Public Safety Solutions businesses and Casualty Claims Solutions business.
The total new business pipeline at the end of March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.2 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. Total new business pipeline is defined as total new business ACV pipeline of deals at or beyond the qualified prospect stage. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we transitioned our measure of sales pipeline from TCV to ACV to align with our primary sales metric. 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 ("ARR") 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:
| | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | Net ARR Activity metric |
March 31, 2025 | | $ | 116 | |
December 31, 2024 | | 92 | |

June 30, 2024 | | (47) | |
March 31, 2024 | | 6 | |
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents were $277 million and $366 million, respectively. We also have a $550 million revolving line of credit for our various cash needs, of which $10 million was used for letters of credit. The net amount available to be drawn upon under our revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2025, was $540 million.
As of March 31, 2025, our total principal debt outstanding was $657 million, of which $26 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
(in millions) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | Better (Worse) |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | (58) | | | $ | (37) | | | $ | (21) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | | $ | (17) | | | $ | 143 | | | (160) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | $ | (10) | | | $ | (199) | | | 189 | |
Operating activities
The net increase in cash used in operating activities of $21 million, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to a $22 million United States federal tax refund related to the 2018 tax year received in the first quarter of 2024.
Investing activities
Investing cash flow decreased by $160 million mainly due to $164 million of proceeds received from the BenefitWallet Portfolio transfer in the first quarter of 2024.
Financing activities
The decrease in cash used in financing activities was due to the voluntary prepayment of $164 million of debt using the proceeds received from the BenefitWallet Portfolio transfer in the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, the prior year included $17 million of treasury stock purchases under the program that was completed in September 2024.
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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3 million and $(8) million, respectively.
Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations
We believe our balances of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $277 million as of March 31, 2025, along with cash generated by operations and amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond.
At March 31, 2025, 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, 2024 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 to our critical accounting estimates and policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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 report 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.
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 compared to 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 arising from annual or interim goodwill testing.
•(Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs. This represents (gain) loss on divested businesses and transaction costs.
•Litigation settlements (recoveries), net. This 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.
•Direct response costs - cyber event. This represents costs related to investigating, remediating and responding to the cyber event that occurred in January 2025.
•Other charges (credits). This includes Other (income) expenses, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) 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 foreign currency exchange rates which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to this market risk through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, using derivative financial instruments. We utilized derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We also 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.
Recent market events have not caused us to materially modify or change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 8 – 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, 2024.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth under Note 12 – Contingencies and Litigation in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference in answer to this Item.
ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS
Reference is made to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as set forth below.
Our data systems, information systems and network infrastructure have been, and may in the future be, subject to hacking or other cybersecurity threats and other service interruptions, which could expose us to liability, impair our reputation or temporarily render us unable to fulfill our service obligations under our contracts.
As a leader in business process solutions, we leverage cloud computing, AI, machine learning and advanced analytics. We act as a trusted business partner in both front-office and back-office platforms, providing interactions on a substantial scale with our customers and other third-parties. Our customers include global commercial clients and government clients who depend upon our operational efficiency, non-interruption of service, and accuracy and security of information. We also use third-party providers such as subcontractors, software vendors, utility providers and network providers, upon whom we rely to support our business process solutions, to deliver uninterrupted, secure service. As part of our business process solutions, we also develop system software platforms necessary to support our customers’ needs, with significant ongoing investment in developing and operating customer-appropriate operating systems, databases and system software solutions. We also receive, process, transmit and store substantial volumes of information relating to identifiable individuals, both in our role as a solution provider and as an employer, and we are subject to numerous laws, rules and regulations in the United States (both federal and state) and foreign jurisdictions designed to protect both individually identifiable information as well as personal health information. We also receive, process and implement financial transactions, and disburse funds, on behalf of both commercial and government customers, which activity includes receiving debit and credit card information to process payments due to our customers as well as disbursing funds to payees of our customers. As a result of these and other business process solutions, the integrity, security, accuracy and non-interruption of our systems and information technology and that of our third-party providers and our interfaces with our customers are extremely important to our business, operating results, growth, prospects and reputation.
We have in the past been, and remain, susceptible to breach of security systems which may result and has resulted in unauthorized access to our facilities and those of our customers and/or access to and exfiltration of the information we and our customers are trying to protect. Cybersecurity failure might be caused by computer hacking, compromised credentials, malware, computer viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware and other destructive software, “cyber-attacks” and other malicious activity, as well as natural disasters, power outages, terrorist attacks and similar events. Operational or business delays may also result from the disruption of network or information systems and subsequent remediation activities.
Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access are constantly changing and becoming increasingly more sophisticated and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we or our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement sufficient preventative measures. Unauthorized access, hacking, malware, phishing, viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware and other “cyber-attacks” have become more prevalent, have occurred in our systems in the past, and may occur in our systems in the future. Our cyber practices and cybersecurity systems may prove to be inadequate and result in the disruption, failure, misappropriation or corruption of our network and information systems and it may not be possible for us to fully or timely know if or when such incidents arise, or the full business impact of any cybersecurity breach.
Additionally, with advances in computer capabilities and data protection requirements to address ongoing threats, we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against potential security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches. Moreover, employee error or malfeasance, faulty password management or other irregularities may result in a defeat of our or our third-party service providers’ security measures and a breach of our or our third-party service providers’ information systems (whether digital, cloud-based or otherwise). In addition, the increased use of employee-owned devices for communications as well as work-from-home arrangements, present additional operational risks to our information technology systems, including, but not limited to, increased risks of cyber-attacks.
We have in the past experienced, and in the future could experience, an unauthorized party gaining physical access to one of our or one of our third-party service providers’ facilities or gain electronic access to our or one of our third-party service providers’ information systems. For example, on January 13, 2025, the Company experienced an operational disruption and learned that a threat actor gained unauthorized access to a limited portion of the Company’s environment and exfiltrated a set of files associated with a limited number of the Company’s clients. See Part II, Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – “Cyber Event” for additional information. This and any other such access could result in, among other things, unfavorable publicity and significant damage to our brand, governmental inquiry, oversight and possible regulatory action, difficulty in marketing our services, loss of existing and potential customers, allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations, litigation by affected parties and possible financial obligations for substantial damages related to the theft or misuse of such information, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Similar consequences may arise if sensitive or confidential information is misdirected, lost or stolen during transmission or transport, or is stolen or misused. Moreover, security breaches have and could require us to devote significant management resources to address the problems created by the security breach and to expend significant additional resources to upgrade further the security measures that we employ to guard such personal information against "cyber-attacks" and to maintain various systems and data centers for our customers. Often these systems and data centers must be maintained worldwide and on a 24/7 basis. We have in the past experienced and in the future could experience service interruptions that could result in curtailed operations and loss of existing and potential customers, which could significantly reduce our revenues and profits in addition to significantly impairing our reputation. If our information systems and our back-up systems are damaged, breached or cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to repair or replace them, and we may suffer interruptions in our operations in the interim, each of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, our and our customers’ systems and networks are subject to continued threats of terrorism, which could disrupt our operations as well as disrupt the utilities and telecommunications infrastructure on which our business depends. To the extent any such disruptions were to occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, our liability insurance, which includes cyber insurance, might not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us, or the carrier may decline to cover us, against claims related to security incidents, cyberattacks and other related incidents.
