Performance Commentary
Q3 2026 income (loss) before taxes from continuing operations was $(35) million, compared with $(38) million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting cost efficiencies, which more than offset lower revenue and higher restructuring and interest costs.
Q3 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $36 million, compared with $31 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 16.1%. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 6.7%, compared with 5.1% in Q3 2025 and 3.0% in Q2 2026, reflecting lower expenses and cost optimization initiatives.
Q3 2026 cash flow from operating activities was $(107) million, compared with $(39) million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting working-capital impacts, due to a temporary pause of the company's receivables factoring facility. Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities was $(108) million, compared with $(112) million in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures from our Continuing Operations only, unless otherwise noted. 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, our 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. 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. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" sections attached to this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported U.S. GAAP measures.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and other public statements we make may contain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "will," "should," "could" and "may," and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements reflect our current views and assumptions regarding future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: risks related to the sale of our Transit Business and the pending sale of our Tolling Business, including our ability to realize the anticipated benefits, the risk that required regulatory approvals, third-party consents or other closing conditions for the Tolling transaction are not satisfied such that the closing is delayed or does not occur, and the risk that we do not receive some or all of the Transit holdback amounts; government appropriations and termination rights contained in our government contracts, and changes in government spending levels and budget priorities; our ability to renew commercial and government contracts, and the loss of, or a reduction in business from, significant clients; our ability to realize the cost savings we have identified, and to achieve estimated savings or other benefits for clients under new engagements; our significant indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness, our credit ratings, our ability to collect our receivables, and the availability of receivables financing; breaches of, or interruptions in, our information systems and network infrastructure; the possibility that the court materially alters or fails to approve the class action settlement related to the previously disclosed cyber event that took place in January 2025, unexpected costs or liabilities in connection with that settlement or event, the outcome of other legal proceedings and government investigations related to it, and the availability and timing of insurance recovery; and developments in other claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings.
These and the other factors described in the "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed (or furnished) with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this release speak only as of the date on which they are made. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures for our Continuing Operations only, unless otherwise noted.
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. 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.
Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Conduent's definition of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided below.
These reconciliations also include the income tax effects for our non-GAAP performance measures in total, to the extent applicable. The income tax effects are calculated under the same accounting principles as applied to our reported pre-tax performance measures under Accounting Standards Codification 740, which employs an annual effective tax rate method. The noted income tax effect for our non-GAAP performance measures is effectively the difference in income taxes for reported and adjusted pre-tax income calculated under the annual effective tax rate method. The tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments was calculated based upon evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable statutory tax rate in the jurisdictions in which such charges were incurred.
Discontinued Operations
We have announced the sales of our Public Transit and Tolling businesses. These two transactions collectively represent an exit from the Transportation business, a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, these transactions qualify under applicable accounting guidance for reporting as discontinued operations and we reported these businesses as discontinued operations and reclassified their results from our former Transportation segment to Discontinued Operations and no longer report results for a Transportation segment. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet for the periods presented.
Unless otherwise noted, the discussion of our results is on a continuing operations basis and does not include discontinued operations.
Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Profit Before Tax from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate from Continuing Operations
We make adjustments to Revenue, Net Income (Loss) before Income Taxes from Continuing Operations for the following items, as applicable, to the particular financial measure, for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Profit Before Tax from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate from Continuing Operations:
•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. This 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. This includes 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, net. 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 related debt issuance costs related to prepayments of debt.
•Direct response costs - cyber event. This represents costs related to investigating, remediating and responding to the January 2025 Cyber Event.
•Other charges (credits). This includes Other (income) expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and other adjustments, including former CEO separation costs of approximately $4 million in Q1 2026.
•Divestitures. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of divested businesses, which are not reported as discontinued operations, are excluded.
We provide adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures from continuing operations to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions.
Management believes that the adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations, provided as supplemental information, facilitates a comparison by investors of our actual effective tax rate from continuing operations with an adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations which reflects the impact of the items which are excluded in providing adjusted net income and certain other identified items, and may provide added insight into our underlying business results and how effective tax rates impact our ongoing business.
Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Operating Margin from Continuing Operations
We make adjustments to Revenue, Costs and Expenses and Operating Margin from Continuing Operations for the following items, as applicable, for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Revenue from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Operating Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Operating Margin from Continuing Operations:
•Amortization of acquired intangible assets.
•Restructuring and related costs.
•Interest expense. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs.
•Goodwill impairment.
•(Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs, net.
•Litigation settlements (recoveries), net.
•Loss on extinguishment of debt.
•Direct response costs - cyber event.
•Other charges (credits).
•Divestitures, which are not reported as Discontinued Operations.
We provide our investors with adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income from Continuing Operations and adjusted operating margin from Continuing Operations information, as supplemental information, because we believe it offers added insight, by itself and for comparability between periods, by adjusting for certain non-cash items as well as certain other identified items which we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing business, and may also provide added insight on trends in our ongoing business.
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations
We use Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations 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 from Continuing Operations represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and contract inducement amortization adjusted for the following items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations is Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations divided by revenue or adjusted revenue, as applicable.
•Restructuring and related costs.
•Goodwill impairment.
•(Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs, net.
•Litigation settlements (recoveries), net.
•Loss on extinguishment of debt.
•Direct response costs - cyber event.
•Other charges (credits).
•Divestitures, which are not reported as Discontinued Operations.
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations 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.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities as reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows, less cost of additions to land, buildings and equipment, cost of additions to internal use software, and proceeds from sales of land, buildings and equipment, as applicable. We use the non-GAAP measure of Free Cash Flow as a criterion of liquidity. We use Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity to determine amounts we can reinvest in our core businesses, such as amounts available to make acquisitions and invest in land, buildings and equipment and internal use software, after required payments on debt. In order to provide a meaningful basis for comparison, we are providing information with respect to our Free Cash Flow reconciled to cash flow provided by operating activities, which we believe to be the most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow from above plus adjustments for transaction costs, proceeds from failed sale-leaseback transactions and certain other identified adjustments, as applicable. We use Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in addition to Free Cash Flow, to provide supplemental information to our investors concerning our ability to generate cash from our ongoing operating activities; by excluding these items, we believe we provide useful additional information to our investors to help them further understand our ability to generate cash period-over-period as well as added information on comparability to our competitors. Such as with Free Cash Flow information, as so adjusted, it is specifically not intended to provide amounts available for discretionary spending. We have added certain adjustments to account for items which we do not believe reflect our core business or operating performance, and we computed all periods with such adjusted costs.
Revenue at Constant Currency
To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars. We refer to this Adjusted Revenue as “constant currency.” Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates. This currency impact is calculated by translating the current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior-year period's currency translation rate.
Non-GAAP Outlook
In providing the Full Year 2026 Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. A description of the adjustments which historically have been applicable in determining Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations is reflected in the table below. We are providing such outlook only on a non-GAAP basis because we are unable without unreasonable efforts to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of these adjustments for the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to reported results. We have provided an outlook for Adjusted Revenue only on a non-GAAP basis using foreign currency translation rates as of fiscal year end due to the inability to, without unreasonable efforts, accurately predict foreign currency impact on revenues. In addition, the outlook is on a continuing operations basis.

November 05, 2026 Conduent Q3 2026 Financial Results
2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation and other public statements we make may contain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "will," "should," "could" and "may," and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements reflect our current views and assumptions regarding future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: risks related to the sale of our Transit Business and the pending sale of our Tolling Business, including our ability to realize the anticipated benefits, the risk that required regulatory approvals, third-party consents or other closing conditions for the Tolling transaction are not satisfied such that the closing is delayed or does not occur, and the risk that we do not receive some or all of the Transit holdback amounts; government appropriations and termination rights contained in our government contracts, and changes in government spending levels and budget priorities; our ability to renew commercial and government contracts, and the loss of, or a reduction in business from, significant clients; our ability to execute our transformation plan and to achieve the multi-year revenue, margin, cash flow and leverage targets reflected in our outlook; our ability to realize the cost savings we have identified, and to achieve estimated savings or other benefits for clients under new engagements; our significant indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness, our credit ratings, our ability to collect our receivables, and the availability of receivables financing; breaches of, or interruptions in, our information systems and network infrastructure; the possibility that the court materially alters or fails to approve the class action settlement related to the previously disclosed cyber event that took place in January 2025, unexpected costs or liabilities in connection with that settlement or event, the outcome of other legal proceedings and government investigations related to it, and the availability and timing of insurance recovery; and developments in other claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings. These and the other factors described in the "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed (or furnished) with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this release speak only as of the date on which they are made. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter our forward- looking statements, whether because of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, except as required by law. Cautionary Statements
3 Non-GAAP Financial Measures We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures for our Continuing Operations only, unless otherwise noted. 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, our 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. 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. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" sections in this presentation for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported U.S. GAAP measures. Discontinued Operations We have announced the sales of our Public Transit and Tolling businesses. These two transactions collectively represent an exit from the Transportation business, a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, these transactions qualify under applicable accounting guidance for reporting as discontinued operations and reclassified their results from our former Transportation segment to Discontinued Operations and no longer report results for a Transportation segment. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet for the periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, the discussion of our results is on a continuing operations basis and does not include discontinued operations. Cautionary Statements

13 Definitions New Business Total Contract Value (TCV): Estimated total future revenues from contracts signed during the period related to new logo, new service line or expansion with existing customers. New Business Non-Recurring Revenue (NRR): Metric measures the non-recurring revenue for any new business signing, includes: i. Signing value of any contract with term less than 12 months; ii. Signing value of project based revenue, not expected to continue long term. New Business Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Metric measures the revenue from recurring services provided to the client for any new business signing. ARR represents the recurring services provided to a customer with the opportunity for renewal at the end of the contract term. The calculation of ARR is (Total Contract Value less Non-Recurring Revenue) divided by the Contract Term. New Business Annual Contract Value (ACV): (New Business TCV / contract term) multiplied by 12. Renewal TCV Signings: Estimated total future revenues from contracts signed during the period related to renewals. Implied New Business Average Contract Length: (New Business TCV – New Business NRR) / New Business ARR = Implied New Business Average Contract Length. TTM: Trailing twelve months. CC: Constant Currency as defined in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
14 Non-GAAP Financial Measures We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures for our Continuing Operations only, unless otherwise noted. 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, our 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. 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. Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Conduent's definition of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP Reconciliations are provided below. These reconciliations also include the income tax effects for our non-GAAP performance measures in total, to the extent applicable. The income tax effects are calculated under the same accounting principles as applied to our reported pre-tax performance measures under ASC 740, which employs an annual effective tax rate method. The noted income tax effect for our non-GAAP performance measures is effectively the difference in income taxes for reported and adjusted pre-tax income calculated under the annual effective tax rate method. The tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments was calculated based upon evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable statutory tax rate in the jurisdictions in which such charges were incurred. Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Profit Before Tax from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate from Continuing Operations. We make adjustments to Revenue, Net Income (Loss) before Income Taxes from Continuing Operations for the following items, as applicable, to the particular financial measure, for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Revenue from Continuing Operations , Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Profit Before Tax from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate from Continuing Operations: • Amortization of acquired intangible assets. This 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. This includes restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our strategic transformation program. • (Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs, net. Represents (gain) loss on divested businesses and transaction costs. • Goodwill Impairment. This represents goodwill impairment charges arising from annual or interim goodwill testing. • Loss on extinguishment of debt. This represents write-off related debt issuance costs related to prepayments of debt. • Litigation settlements (recoveries), net. Litigation settlements (recoveries), net represents provisions for various matters subject to litigation. • Direct response costs - cyber event. This represents costs related to investigating, remediating and responding to the January 2025 Cyber Event. • Other charges (credits). This includes Other (income) expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and other adjustments, including former CEO separation costs of approximately $4 million in Q1 2026. • Divestitures. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of divested businesses, which are not reported as discontinued operations, are excluded. We provide adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Management believes that the adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations, provided as supplemental information, facilitates a comparison by investors of our actual effective tax rate from continuing operations with an adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations which reflects the impact of the items which are excluded in providing adjusted net income and certain other identified items, and may provide added insight into our underlying business results and how effective tax rates impact our ongoing business. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
15 Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Operating Margin from Continuing Operations. We make adjustments to Revenue, Costs and Expenses and Operating Margin from Continuing Operations for the following items, as applicable, for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Operating Margin from Continuing Operations: • Amortization of acquired intangible assets. • Restructuring and related costs. • Interest expense. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs. • Goodwill impairment. • (Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs, net. • Litigation settlements (recoveries), net. • Loss on extinguishment of debt. • Direct response costs - cyber event. • Other charges (credits). • Divestitures, which are not reported as Discontinued Operations. We provide our investors with adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income from continuing operations and adjusted operating margin from continuing operations information, as supplemental information, because we believe it offers added insight, by itself and for comparability between periods, by adjusting for certain non-cash items as well as certain other identified items which we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing business, and may also provide added insight on trends in our ongoing business. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
16 Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations We use Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations 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 from Continuing Operations represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and contract inducement amortization adjusted for the following items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations is Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations divided by revenue or adjusted revenue, as applicable: • Restructuring and related costs. • Goodwill impairment. • (Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs, net. • Litigation settlements (recoveries), net. • Loss on extinguishment of debt. • Direct response costs - cyber event. • Other charges (credits). • Divestitures, which are not reported as Discontinued Operations. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations 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. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
17 Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities as reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows, less cost of additions to land, buildings and equipment, cost of additions to internal use software, and proceeds from sales of land, buildings and equipment, as applicable. We use the non-GAAP measure of Free Cash Flow as a criterion of liquidity. We use Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity to determine amounts we can reinvest in our core businesses, such as amounts available to make acquisitions and invest in land, buildings and equipment and internal use software, after required payments on debt. In order to provide a meaningful basis for comparison, we are providing information with respect to our Free Cash Flow reconciled to cash flow provided by operating activities, which we believe to be the most directly comparable measure under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow from above plus adjustments for transaction costs, proceeds from failed sale-leaseback transactions and certain other identified adjustments, as applicable. We use Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in addition to Free Cash Flow, to provide supplemental information to our investors concerning our ability to generate cash from our ongoing operating activities; by excluding these items, we believe we provide useful additional information to our investors to help them further understand our ability to generate cash period-over-period as well as added information on comparability to our competitors. Such as with Free Cash Flow information, as so adjusted, it is specifically not intended to provide amounts available for discretionary spending. We have added certain adjustments to account for items which we do not believe reflect our core business or operating performance, and we computed all periods with such adjusted costs. Revenue at Constant Currency To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “constant currency.” Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates. This currency impact is calculated by translating the current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior-year period's currency translation rate. Non-GAAP Outlook In providing the Full Year 2026 Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. A description of the adjustments which historically have been applicable in determining Adjusted EBITDA is reflected in the table within this presentation. We are providing such outlooks only on a non-GAAP basis because we are unable without unreasonable efforts to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of these adjustments for the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to reported results. We have provided outlooks for revenue only on a non-GAAP basis using foreign currency translation rates as of fiscal year end due to the inability to, without unreasonable efforts, accurately predict foreign currency impact on revenues.
