Explanatory Note

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information pertaining to periods prior to the closing of the Alight Business Combination (as defined below). Refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business”, for further information regarding the basis of presentation.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to expectations regarding future financial performance, and business strategies or expectations for our business. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” or similar expressions or the negative thereof. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this report and the Company’s management’s current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company and its directors, officers and affiliates. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update, add or otherwise correct any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events, inaccuracies that become apparent after the date hereof or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors;
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreak of any other highly infectious or contagious disease, including the global economic uncertainty and measures taken in response;
risks associated with competition with the Company’s competitors;
cyber attacks and security vulnerabilities and other significant disruptions in the Company’s information technology systems and networks that could expose the Company to legal liability, impair its reputation or have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations;
our handling of confidential, personal or proprietary data;
changes in applicable laws or regulations;
an inability to successfully execute on operational and technological enhancements designed to drive value for our clients or drive internal efficiencies;
claims (particularly professional liability claims), litigation or other proceedings against us;
the inability to adequately protect key intellectual property rights or proprietary technology;
past and prospective acquisitions, including the failure to successfully integrate operations, personnel, systems, technologies and products of the acquired companies, adverse tax consequences of acquisitions, greater than expected liabilities of the acquired companies and charges to earnings from acquisitions;
the success of our strategic partnerships with third parties;
the possibility of a decline in continued interest in outsourced services;
our inability to retain and attract experienced and qualified personnel;
recovery following a disaster or other business continuity problem;
our inability to deliver a satisfactory product to our clients;
damage to our reputation;
our reliance on third-party licenses and service providers;
our handling of client funds;
changes in regulations that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business;

1


 

the Company’s international operations;
the profitability of our engagements due to unexpected circumstances;
changes in accounting principles or treatment;
contracting with government clients;
the significant control the certain existing investors have over us;
the potential for conflicts of interest arising out of any members of our board of directors allocating their time to other businesses and not exclusively to us, and that our charter contains a corporate opportunities waiver so directors will not be required to present potential business opportunities to us;
the incurrence of increased costs and becoming subject to additional regulations and requirements as a result of being a public company;
changes in our capital structure, including from the issuance of new shares by us or sales of shares by existing investors, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock;
our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below); and
changes to our credit ratings or interest rates which could affect our financial resources, ability to raise additional capital, generate sufficient cash flows, or generally maintain operations; and other risks and uncertainties indicated in this report and our other public filings, including those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 10, 2022 (the "Annual Report").

These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could also be affected by factors, events or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present material risks.

Alight, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. (“FTAC”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 26, 2020. FTAC was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On July 2, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FTAC completed the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Alight Holding Company, LLC (f/k/a Tempo Holding Company, LLC) (“Alight Holdings” or the “Predecessor”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (as amended and restated as of April 29, 2021) between FTAC, Alight Holdings and other interested parties (the “Business Combination Agreement”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, FTAC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alight, Inc. (“Alight”, “the Company”, “we” “us” “our” or the “Successor”) and was renamed Alight Group, Inc. As a result of the Business Combination, and by virtue of such series of mergers and related transactions, the combined company is now organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of Alight are held by Alight Holdings, of which Alight is the managing member pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Alight Holdings that went into effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2022, Alight owns approximately 86% of the economic interest in Alight Holdings, but has 100% of the voting power and controls the management of Alight Holdings. As of March 31, 2022, the non-voting ownership percentage held by noncontrolling interest was approximately 14% (see Note 9 "Stockholders' and Members' Equity" for additional information).

Basis of Presentation

As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, the Company is the acquirer and Alight Holdings is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. While the Closing Date was July 2, 2021, we determined that as the impact of one day would be immaterial to the results of operations, we utilized July 1, 2021 as the date of the Business Combination for accounting purposes. Therefore, the financial statement presentation includes the financial statements of Alight Holdings as Predecessor for the periods prior to July 1, 2021 and the Company as Successor for the periods including and after July 1, 2021, including the consolidation of Alight Holdings.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

2. Accounting Policies and Practices

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of reserves and expenses.

These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management believes its estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, and foreign currency exchange rate movements increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment would, if applicable, be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners that provides for the payment by Alight to such owners of 85% of the benefits that Alight is deemed to realize as a result of the Company’s share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination and other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA. The Company accounts for the TRA as a liability at fair value and is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Subsequent to the Business Combination, upon equity exchanges of the noncontrolling interests, the Company records obligations under the TRA at the gross undiscounted amount of the expected future payments as an increase to the liability with an offset to Additional paid-in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no pending accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact upon our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The majority of the Company’s revenue is highly recurring and is derived from contracts with customers to provide integrated, cloud-based human capital solutions that empower clients and their employees to manage their health, wealth and HR needs. The Company’s revenues are disaggregated by recurring and project revenues within each reportable segment. Recurring revenues are typically longer term in nature and more predictable on an annual basis, while project revenues consist of project work of a shorter duration. See Note 12 “Segment Reporting” for quantitative disclosures of recurring and project revenues by reportable segment. The Company’s reportable segments are Employer Solutions, Professional Services and Hosted Business. Employer Solutions are driven by our digital, software and AI-led capabilities powered by the Alight Worklife® platform and spanning total employee wellbeing and engagement, including integrated benefits administration, healthcare navigation, financial health, and employee wellbeing and payroll. Professional Services includes project-based cloud deployment and consulting offerings. The Company believes these revenue categories depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the customer in the amount that best reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our services. On occasion, we may be entitled to a fee based on achieving certain performance criteria or contract milestones. To the extent that we cannot estimate with reasonable assurance the likelihood that we will achieve the performance target, we will constrain this portion of the transaction price and recognize it when or as the uncertainty is resolved. Any taxes assessed on revenues relating to services provided to our clients are recorded on a net basis. All of the Company’s revenues are described in more detail below.

Administrative Services

We provide benefits, human resource and payroll administration services across all of our solutions, which are highly recurring. The Company’s contracts may include administration services across one or multiple solutions and typically have three to five-year terms with mutual renewal options.

These contracts typically consist of an implementation phase and an ongoing administration phase:

Implementation phase – In connection with the Company’s long-term agreements, highly customized implementation efforts are often necessary to set up clients and their human resource, payroll or benefit programs on the Company’s systems and operating processes. Work performed during the implementation phase is considered a set-up activity because it does not transfer a service to the

8


 

customer. Therefore, it is not a separate performance obligation. As these agreements are longer term in nature, our contracts generally provide that if the client terminates a contract, we are entitled to an additional payment for services performed through the termination date designed to recover our up-front costs of implementation. Any fees received from the customer as part of the implementation are, in effect, an advance payment for the future ongoing administration services to be provided.

Ongoing administration services phase – For all solutions, the ongoing administration phase includes a variety of plan and payroll administration services and system support services. More specifically, these services include data management, calculations, reporting, fulfillment/communications, compliance services, call center support, and in our Health solutions agreements, annual on-boarding and enrollment support. While there are a variety of activities performed across all solutions, the overall nature of the obligation is to provide integrated administration solutions to the customer. The agreement represents a stand-ready obligation to perform these activities across all solutions on an as-needed basis. The customer obtains value from each period of service, and each time increment (i.e., each month, or each benefit cycle in the case of our Health solutions arrangements) is distinct and substantially the same. Accordingly, the ongoing administration services for each solution represents a series and each series (i.e., each month, or each benefit cycle including the enrollment period in the case of our Health solutions arrangements) of distinct services are deemed to be a single performance obligation. In agreements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price related to each performance obligation is based on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. We establish the stand-alone selling price using observable market prices that the Company charges separately for similar solutions to similar customers.

Our contracts with our clients specify the terms and conditions upon which the services are based. Fees for these services are primarily based on a contracted fee charged per participant per period (e.g., monthly or annually, as applicable). These contracts may also include fixed components, including lump-sum implementation fees. Our fees are not typically payable until the commencement of the ongoing administration phase. Once fees become payable, payment is typically due on a monthly basis as we perform under the contract, and we are entitled to be reimbursed for work performed to date in the event of termination.

For Health solutions administration services, each benefits cycle inclusive of the enrollment period represents a time increment under the series guidance and is a single performance obligation. Although ongoing fees are typically not payable until the commencement of the ongoing administrative phase, we begin transferring services to our customers approximately four months prior to payments being due as part of our annual enrollment services. Although our per-participant fees are considered variable, they are typically predictable in nature, and therefore we do not generally constrain any portion of our transaction price estimates. We use an input method based on the labor costs incurred relative to total labor costs as the measure of progress in satisfying our Health solutions performance obligation commencing when the customer’s annual enrollment services begin. Given that the Health solutions enrollment and administrative services are stand-ready in nature, it can be difficult to estimate the total expected efforts or hours we will incur for a particular benefits cycle. Therefore, the input measure is based on the historical effort expended each month, which is measured as labor cost.

For all other benefits administration, human resources and payroll services where each month represents a distinct time increment under the series guidance, we allocate the transaction price to the month we are performing our services. Therefore, the amount recognized each month is the variable consideration related to that month plus any fixed monthly or annual fee, which is recognized on a straight-line basis. Revenue for these types of arrangements are therefore more consistent throughout the year.

In the normal course of business, we enter into change orders or other contract modifications to add or modify services provided to the customer. We evaluate whether these modifications should be accounted for as separate contracts or a modification to an existing contract. To the extent that the modification changes a promise that forms part of the underlying series, the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract.

Other Contracts

In addition to the ongoing administration services, the Company also has services across all solutions that represent separate performance obligations and that are often shorter in duration, such as our cloud deployment services, cloud advisory services, participant financial advisory services, and enrollment services not bundled with ongoing administration services.

Fee arrangements can be in the form of fixed-fee, time-and-materials, or fees based on assets under management. Payment is typically due on a monthly basis as we perform under the contract, and we are entitled to be reimbursed for work performed to date in the event of termination.

Services may represent stand-ready obligations that meet the series provision, in which case all variable consideration is allocated to each distinct time increment.

Other services are recognized over-time based on a method that faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer, which may be based on the value of labor hours worked or time elapsed, depending on the facts and circumstances.

The majority of the fees for enrollment services not bundled with ongoing administration services may be in the form of commissions received from insurance carriers for policy placement and are variable in nature. These annual enrollment services include both employer-sponsored arrangements that place both retiree Medicare coverage and voluntary benefits and

9


 

direct-to-consumer Medicare placement. Our performance obligations under these annual enrollment services are typically completed over a short period upon which a respective policy is placed or confirmed with no ongoing fulfillment obligations. For both the employer-sponsored and direct-to-consumer arrangements, we recognize the majority of the placement revenue in the fourth quarter of the calendar year, which is when most of the placement or renewal activity occurs. However, the Company may continue to receive commissions from carriers until the respective policy lapses or is cancelled. The Company bases the estimates of total transaction price on supportable evidence from an analysis of past transactions, and only includes amounts that are probable of being received or not refunded.

As it relates to the direct-to-consumer arrangements, because our obligation is complete upon placement of the policy, we recognize revenue at that date, which includes both compensation due to us in the first year as well as an estimate of the total renewal commissions that will be received over the lifetime of the policy. The variable consideration estimate requires significant judgement, and will vary based on product type, estimated commission rates and the expected lives of the respective policies and other factors.

For both the employer-sponsored and direct-to-customer arrangements, the estimated total transaction price may differ from the ultimate amount of commissions we may collect. Consequently, the estimate of total transaction price is adjusted over time as the Company receives confirmation of cash received, or as other information becomes available.

The Company has elected to apply practical expedients to not disclose the revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations if (1) the contract has an original duration of one year or less, or (2) the variable consideration is allocated entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation which is recognized as a series of distinct goods and services that form a single performance obligation.

Contract Costs

Costs to obtain a Contract

The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer that are expected to be recovered. Assets recognized for the costs to obtain a contract, which primarily includes sales commissions paid in relation to the initial contract, are amortized over the expected life of the underlying customer relationships, which is 7 years for our payroll and cloud solutions and 15 years for all of our other solutions. For situations where the duration of the contract is 1 year or less, the Company has applied a practical expedient and recognized the costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred. These costs are recorded in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Costs to fulfill a Contract

The Company capitalizes costs to fulfill contracts which includes highly customized implementation efforts to set up clients and their human resource, payroll or benefit programs. Assets recognized for the costs to fulfill a contract are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected life of the underlying customer relationships, which is 7 years for our payroll and cloud solutions and 15 years for all of our other solutions.

Amortization for all contracts costs are recorded in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (see Note 5 “Other Financial Data”).

4. Acquisitions

2021 Acquisitions

Alight Business Combination

On July 2, 2021, the Company completed the Business Combination for consideration transferred of approximately $5.0 billion. The Business Combination was accounted for using the acquisition method under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary consideration and allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the combined assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented below. The preliminary measurement of consideration transferred, including noncontrolling interest, and the allocations reflect the best estimates of the valuations currently available and are subject to change once additional analyses are completed. The accounting for the Business Combination is not complete and the allocation will be finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

On the Closing Date, the Company paid $36 million of deferred underwriting costs related to FTAC’s initial public offering and $37 million of fees related to the private placement transaction, which were treated as a reduction of equity. Approximately $21 million of the Company’s acquisition-related costs were paid on the Closing Date. Additionally, $39 million of seller transaction costs were paid on the Closing Date, including $36 million in advisory and investment banker fees that were contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As these fees are considered success fees in nature, they are considered to have been incurred “on the line”, and therefore, were not recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in either the Predecessor or Successor periods.

10


 

On the Closing Date, approximately $36 million of certain executive compensation related expenses that were contingent upon the closing of the Business Combination were triggered. As these expenses were contingent upon the change-in-control event, they are considered to have been incurred “on the line”, and therefore, were not recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in either the Predecessor or Successor periods.

Measurement Period Adjustments

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to its initial allocation of purchase price as a result of ongoing valuation procedures on assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including (i) a decrease in Receivables of $2 million, (ii) a decrease in Other current liabilities of $2 million, (iii) a decrease in consideration transferred of $8 million due to an updated TRA valuation, and (iv) a decrease of $1 million in noncontrolling interest due to the change in consideration transferred. The impact of these measurement period adjustments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) was not material.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The trade name intangible asset represents the corporate Alight tradename, which was valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The technology related intangible assets represent software developed by Alight Holdings to differentiate its product/service offerings for its customers, valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The customer-related and contract-based intangible assets represent strong, long-term relationships with customers, valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The values allocated to identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Goodwill

Approximately $3.4 billion has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill, including assembled workforce and expected future market conditions. Of the preliminary goodwill established, $1.6 billion was tax deductible.
 

Retiree Health Exchange

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition for consideration transferred of approximately $199 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary consideration and allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the combined assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented below. The preliminary measurement of consideration transferred and the allocations reflect the best estimates of the valuations currently available and are subject to change once additional analyses are completed. The accounting for the acquisition is not complete as the valuation for acquired assets and liabilities have not been finalized and these final valuations of the assets and liabilities could have a material impact on the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed below. The allocation will be finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The net carrying amount of Intangible assets as of March 31, 2022 includes preliminary fair values for certain customer-related and contract-based identifiable intangible assets, technology-related intangible assets and tradename assets based on management’s preliminary estimate of fair value (see Note 4 “Acquisitions” for additional information).

The change in gross carrying amounts for customer-related and contract-based intangibles also relates to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Amortization expense from finite-lived intangible assets for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 was $79 million and $50 million, respectively, which was recorded in Depreciation and intangible amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

7. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 was (12%), and for the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 was 14%.

The change in the effective tax rate is primarily driven by the Business Combination as the Predecessor and certain of its subsidiaries operated in the U.S. as partnerships for income tax purposes and generally as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Predecessor effective tax rate for the applicable periods was substantially higher due to certain non-recurring items included in pre-tax and tax expense during the Successor period.

The effective tax rate for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 is lower than the 21% U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate primarily due to losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit has not been recorded.

Term Loan

In May 2017, the Company entered into a 7-year Initial Term Loan. During November 2017 and November 2019, the Company entered into Incremental Term Loans under identical terms as the Initial Term Loan. In August 2020, the Company refinanced the Term Loan by paying down $270 million of principal using the proceeds from the August 2020 Unsecured Senior Notes issuance, extending the maturity date on $1,986 million of the balance to October 31, 2026, and adding an interest rate floor of 50 bps (the "Amended Term Loan"). As part of the consideration transferred in the Business Combination, $556 million of principal was repaid on the portion of the Term Loan that was not amended. In August 2021, the Company entered into a new Third Incremental Term Loan facility for $525 million that matures August 31, 2028. In January 2022, the Company refinanced the Amended Term Loan and the Third Incremental Term Loan to have a concurrent maturity date of August 31, 2028 and updated interest rate terms as described below (the "B-1 Term Loan").

Interest rates on the original Term Loan borrowings are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin based on defined ratios (275 or 300 bps). The Company used the 1‑month LIBOR rate for all periods presented. Interest rates on the B-1 Term Loan borrowings are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 300 bps. The Company is required to make principal payments at the end of each fiscal quarter based on defined terms in the agreement with the remaining principal balances due on the maturity dates.

15


 

During the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company made total principal payments of $8 million and $7 million, respectively. The Company utilized swap agreements to fix a portion of the floating interest rates through December 2026 (see Note 13 “Derivative Financial Instruments”).

Secured Senior Notes

In May 2020, the Company issued $300 million of Secured Senior Notes. These Secured Senior Notes have a maturity date of June 1, 2025 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020.

Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2017, the Company entered into a 5-year $250 million revolving credit facility with a multi-bank syndicate with a maturity date of May 1, 2022. During August 2020, the Company extended the maturity date for $226 million of the revolving credit facility to October 31, 2024. In August 2021, the Company replaced and refinanced the revolving credit facilities with a $294 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of August 31, 2026. At March 31, 2022, $4 million of unused letters of credit related to various insurance policies and real estate leases were issued under the revolving credit facility and there were no additional borrowings. The Company is required to make periodic payments for commitment fees and interest related to the revolving credit facility and outstanding letters of credit. During the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company made immaterial payments related to these fees.

As part of the acquisition of NGA Human Resources ("NGA HR") during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company acquired a revolving credit facility of approximately $20 million secured on the accounts receivable balance of NGA HR. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding borrowings under this facility were $9 million, which are reflected in Other in the table above. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made principal payments of $52 million, offset by borrowings of $54 million. The facility matures on June 30, 2022, at which time any outstanding borrowings are repayable in full, with interest payable monthly. Interest is calculated based on an applicable reference rate plus a margin.

Financing Fees, Premiums and Interest Expense

The Company capitalized financing fees and premiums related to the Term Loan, Revolver and Secured Senior Notes issued. These financing fees and premiums were recorded as an offset to the aggregate debt balances and are being amortized over the respective loan terms.

Total interest expense related to the debt instruments for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 was $27 million and $53 million, respectively, which included amortization of financing fees of $1 million benefit for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and expenses of approximately $4 million for the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense is recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

To the extent any unvested share of Class B-1 Common Stock automatically converts into a share of Class A Common Stock, (i) such share or unit shall remain unvested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement until it vests or is forfeited in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) such share or unit shall be treated as unvested Class A consideration as if such share or unit was part of the unvested Class A consideration as of the Closing Date.

As of March 31, 2022, 2,509,546 Class B-1 common units of Alight Holdings were legally issued and outstanding. Class B-1 common units vest and automatically convert into Class A common units of Alight Holdings on a 1-for-1 basis if the VWAP of the shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for 20 or more trading days within a consecutive 30-trading day period (or in the event of a change of control or liquidation event that implies a $12.50 per share valuation on a diluted basis).

The equityholders of the Predecessor that exchanged their Predecessor Class A units for shares of Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination received shares of Class Z Common Stock, and the Continuing Unitholders received Class Z common units of Alight Holdings. The Class Z instruments were issued to the equityholders of the Predecessor to allow for the re-allocation of the consideration paid to the holders of unvested management equity (i.e., the unvested shares of Class A, Class B-1, and Class B-2 Common Stock) to the equityholders of the Predecessor in the event such equity is forfeited under the terms of the applicable award agreement and will only vest in connection with any such forfeiture.

As of March 31, 2022, 5,595,577 shares of Class Z Common Stock (5,046,819 Class Z-A, 274,379 Class Z-B-1, and 274,379 Class Z-B-2) were legally issued and outstanding.

Alight has the option to cash settle any future exchange.

The Continuing Unitholders’ ownership of Class A units represents the noncontrolling interest of the Company, which is accounted for as permanent equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022, there were 541,445,783 Class A Units outstanding, of which 465,225,352 are held by the Company and 76,220,431 are held by the noncontrolling interest of the Company.

In addition, the Alight Holdings limited liability company agreement permits Alight, in its capacity as the managing member of Alight Holdings, to take actions to maintain such ratio, including undertaking stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and exercises of the exchange rights of holders of Alight Holdings units.

10. Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based payments consist of grants of restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted share units (“PRSUs”). The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards expected to ultimately vest.

Predecessor Replacement Awards

In connection with the Business Combination, the holders of certain unvested awards under the Predecessor plans were granted replacement awards in the Successor company.

Class B units: The unvested Class B units of Alight Holdings were granted replacement shares of unvested Class A, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock and ultimately vest on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, but could vest earlier based on the achievement of certain market-based conditions.

19


 

Class A-1 units: The unvested Class A-1 units of Alight Holdings were granted replacement shares of unvested Class A, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock on an equivalent fair value basis. The service-based portion of the grant vests ratably over periods of two to five years and the remaining vests upon the achievement of certain market-based conditions.

The Class B and Class A-1 units that were replaced represent the unvested shares of Class A, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock subject to the forfeiture re-allocation provision per the Class Z instruments discussed in Note 9 “Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity”. These unvested shares are accounted for as restricted stock in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.

Successor Awards

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the Alight, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Under this plan, for grants issued during the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 55% of the units are subject to time-based vesting requirements and approximately 45% are subject to performance-based vesting requirements. The majority of the time-based RSUs vest ratably each March 10 over a three-year period with one-third vesting on each of March 10, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The majority of the PRSUs vest upon achievement of the Company’s performance goals, Total Revenue and Total BPaaS Revenue.

The Company begins to recognize expense associated with the PRSUs when the achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable. During the first quarter of 2022, based on management's analysis of the corresponding performance conditions, the Company increased expected achievement levels related to the PRSUs granted in 2021.

The fair value of each RSU and PRSU is based upon the grant date market price. The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PRSUs granted during the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 was $43 million and $87 million, respectively.

Share-based Compensation

The Company recorded share-based compensation costs related to the RSUs and PRSUs for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 of $33 million and $2 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, total future compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $116 million, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average amortization period of approximately 1.6 years. As of March 31, 2022, total future compensation expense related to PRSUs was $222 million, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average amortization period of approximately 2.0 years.

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to Alight, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding for the Successor period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares or resulted in the issuance of shares that then would then share in the net income of Alight, Inc. The Company’s Class V Common Stock and Class Z Common Stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities and have not been included in either the basic or diluted earnings per share calculations.

In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Company issued Seller Earnouts contingent consideration, which is payable in the Company’s Common Stock when the related market conditions are achieved. As the related conditions to pay the consideration had not been satisfied as of March 31, 2022, the Seller Earnouts were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in millions, except for share and per share amounts):

For the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, 76,220,431 Alight Holdings Class A units related to noncontrolling interests and 11,137,394 unvested RSUs, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

In addition, 14,999,998 shares related to the Seller Earnouts and 35,501,399 unvested PRSUs, based on maximum achievement levels, were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the market and performance conditions had not yet been met as of the end of the period.

12. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable segments have been determined using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses financial information for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is its CODM. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company based on its total revenue and segment profit.

The CODM also uses revenue and segment profit to manage and evaluate our business, make planning decisions, and as performance measures for Company-wide bonus plans. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 “Accounting Policies and Practices.” The Company does not report assets by reportable segments as this information is not reviewed by the CODM on a regular basis.

December 2026

Concurrent with the Term Loan refinancing, we amended our interest rate swaps to incorporate Term SOFR. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform, we did not redesignate the interest rate hedges when they were amended from LIBOR to SOFR; as we are permitted to maintain the designation through the transition. Also during the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, we executed an additional interest rate swap, which has been designated as a cash flow hedge.

Our swap agreements amortize or accrete based on achieving targeted hedge ratios. All interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. As a result of hedge amendments in December 2021 and July 2021, the fair value of the instruments at the time of re-designation are being amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the instruments. The Company also entered into a new interest rate swap that will be effective June 2025 and will mature December 2026.

The Company estimates that approximately $17 million of derivative gains included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2022 will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months.

14. Financial Instruments

Seller Earnouts

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the equity owners of Alight Holdings received an earnout in the form of non-voting shares of Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock, which automatically convert into Class A Common Stock if, at any time during the seven years following the Closing Date certain criteria are achieved. See Note 9 “Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity” for additional information regarding the Seller Earnouts.

The portion of the Seller Earnouts related to employee compensation is accounted for as share-based compensation. See Note 10 “Share-Based Compensation Expense” for additional information.

23


 

In addition, a portion of the Seller Earnouts relates to Class Z instruments that were forfeited by individual equityholders and will be re-allocated to the holders of unvested management equity upon the ultimate vesting date. See Note 9 “Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity” for additional information regarding the Class Z instruments. This portion of Seller Earnouts is accounted for as a contingent consideration liability recorded at the fair value on the individual forfeiture date. These instruments are not subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2022, the balance for this portion of the Seller Earnouts was $1 million, offset in Gain from change in fair value of financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The majority of the Seller Earnouts, which are not related to employee compensation, are accounted for as a contingent consideration liability at fair value within Financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the Seller Earnouts do not meet the criteria for classification within equity. This portion of the Seller Earnouts are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Seller Earnouts had a fair value of $121 million and $135 million, respectively. For the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, a gain of $14 million was recorded in Gain from change in fair value of financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The fair value of the Seller Earnouts is determined using Monte Carlo simulation and Option Pricing Methods (Level 3 inputs, see Note 16 "Fair Value Measurements"). Significant unobservable inputs are used in the assessment of fair value, including the following assumptions: volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected holding period and probability assessments based on the likelihood of reaching the performance targets defined in the Business Combination.

15. Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Alight entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with certain owners of Alight Holdings prior to the Business Combination. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay certain sellers, as applicable, 85% of the tax benefits, of any savings that we realize, calculated using certain assumptions, as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments from sales and exchanges of Alight Holdings equity interests in connection with or following the Business Combination and certain distributions with respect to Alight Holdings equity interests, (ii) our utilization of certain tax attributes, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

Actual tax benefits realized by Alight may differ from tax benefits calculated under the TRA as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the TRA, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, we expect that the payments that Alight may make under the TRA will be substantial.

The Company’s TRA liability established upon completion of the Business Combination is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The TRA liability balance at March 31, 2022 assumes: (i) a constant blended U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate of 26.17%; (ii) no material changes in tax law; (iii) the ability to utilize tax attributes based on current alternative tax forecasts; and (iv) future payments under the TRA are made when due under the TRA. The amount of the expected future payments under the TRA has been discounted to its present value using a discount rate of 7.6%.

Subsequent to the Business Combination, we will record additional liabilities under the TRA when Class A units of Alight Holdings are exchanged for Class A Common Stock. Liabilities resulting from these exchanges will be recorded on a gross undiscounted basis and are not remeasured at fair value. During the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, an additional TRA liability of $6 million was established as a result of these exchanges.

16. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as 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. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements include a hierarchy for information and valuations used in measuring fair value that is broken down into three levels based on reliability, as follows:

Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the use of valuation techniques and the development of assumptions.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in millions):

Derivatives

The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate our interest rate risk are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, interest rate volatility, or spot and forward exchange rates, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential non-performance risk.

Contingent Consideration

The contingent consideration liabilities relate to acquisitions completed during the Successor six months ended December 31, 2021, the Predecessor years ended December 31, 2020 and 2018, and are included in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Changes in the fair value of the liabilities are included in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Significant unobservable inputs are used in the assessment of fair value, including assumptions

regarding discount rates and probability assessments based on the likelihood of reaching the various targets set out in the acquisition agreements.

The carrying value of the Term Loan, Secured Senior Notes and Unsecured Senior Notes include the outstanding principal balances, less any unamortized discount or premium. The carrying value of the Term Loan approximates fair value as it bears interest at variable rates and we believe our credit risk is consistent with when the debt originated. The outstanding balances under the Senior Notes have fixed interest rates and the fair value is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and corroborated by observable market data (see Note 8 “Debt”).

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Receivables, net and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

During the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classifications.

17. Restructuring and Integration

During the third quarter of 2019, management initiated a restructuring and integration plan (“the Plan”) following the completion of the Hodges acquisition and in anticipation of the NGA HR acquisition, which was completed on November 1, 2019. The Plan is intended to integrate and streamline operations across the Company and is expected to generate cost reductions related to position eliminations and facility and system rationalizations. The Company expects to incur costs related to severance, contract and lease exits and other related costs. The Company expects these restructuring and integration activities and related expenses to affect continuing operations through the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Plan is expected to result in cumulative costs of approximately $140 million through the end of the Plan, consisting of approximately $69 million in severance and related benefits, and approximately $71 million in other costs, including technology realization, lease consolidation costs, advisory and consulting fees. The Plan is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately $196 million by 2022.

From the inception of the Plan through March 31, 2022, the Company has incurred total expenses of $111 million. These charges are recorded in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Actual costs, when incurred, may vary due to changes in the assumptions built into the Plan. Significant assumptions that may change when plans are finalized and implemented include, but are not limited to, changes in severance calculations, changes in the assumptions underlying sublease loss calculations due to changing market conditions, and changes in the overall analysis that might cause the Company to add or cancel component initiatives.
(2)
Other costs associated with the Plan primarily include consulting and legal fees and lease consolidation.

As of March 31, 2022, approximately $5 million of the restructuring liability is unpaid and is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

18. Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Savings Plans

Certain of the Company’s employees participate in a defined contribution savings plan sponsored by the Company. For the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021, expenses were $17 million and $16 million, respectively. Expenses were recognized in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

19. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

The Company is subject to various claims, tax assessments, lawsuits, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business relating to the delivery of our services and the effectiveness of our technologies. The damages claimed in these matters are or may be substantial. Accruals for any exposures, and related insurance or other receivables, when applicable, are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These amounts are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant. Management believes that the reserves established are appropriate based on the facts currently known. The reserves recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were not significant.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The Company provides a variety of service performance guarantees and indemnifications to its clients. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could become payable under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or other methods. These notional amounts may bear no relationship to the future payments that may be made, if any, for these guarantees and indemnifications.

27


 

To date, the Company has not been required to make any payment under any client arrangement as described above. The Company has assessed the current status of performance risk related to the client arrangements with performance guarantees and believes that any potential payments would be immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Purchase Obligations

The Company’s expected cash outflow for non-cancellable purchase obligations related to purchases of information technology assets and services is $17 million, $26 million, $27 million, $9 million, $4 million and $3 million, for the remainder of 2022 and the years ended 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and thereafter, respectively.

Service Obligations

On September 1, 2018, the Company executed an agreement to form a strategic partnership with Wipro, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company.

The Company’s expected cash outflow for non-cancellable service obligations related to our strategic partnership with Wipro is $106 million, $147 million, $154 million, $162 million, $170 million and $332 million for the remainder of 2022 and the years ended 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and thereafter, respectively.

The Company may terminate its arrangement with Wipro for cause or for the Company’s convenience. In the case of a termination for convenience, the Company would be required to pay a termination fee, including certain of Wipro’s unamortized costs, plus 25% of any remaining portion of the minimum level of services the Company agreed to purchase from Wipro over the course of 10 years.

20. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the transaction described below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report"). In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

BUSINESS

Overview

We are a leading cloud-based provider of integrated digital human capital and business solutions. We have an unwavering belief that a company’s success starts with its people, and our solutions connect human insights with technology. The Alight Worklife® employee engagement platform provides a seamless customer experience by combining content, plus AI and data analytics to enable Alight's Business Process as a Service ("BPaaS") model. Our mission-critical solutions enable employees to enrich their health, wealth and wellbeing which helps global organizations achieve a high-performance culture.

On July 2, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. ("FTAC") completed the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Alight Holding Company, LLC (f/k/a Tempo Holding Company, LLC) (“Alight Holdings” or the “Predecessor”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (as amended and restated as of April 29, 2021) between FTAC, Alight Holdings and other interested parties (the “Business Combination Agreement”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, FTAC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alight, Inc. (“Alight”, “the Company”, “we” “us” “our” or the “Successor”) and was renamed Alight Group, Inc. As a result of the Business Combination, and by virtue of such series of mergers and related transactions, the combined company is now organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of Alight are held by Alight Holdings, of which Alight is the managing member pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Alight Holdings that went into effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2022, Alight owns approximately 86% of the economic interest in Alight Holdings, but has 100% of the voting power and controls the management of Alight Holdings. As of March 31, 2022, the non-voting ownership percentage held by noncontrolling interest was approximately 14%.

Principal Services and Segments

We currently report our results of operations in three segments: Employer Solutions, Professional Services and Hosted Business. Employer Solutions, Professional Services and Hosted Business accounted for approximately 86%, 12% and 2% and 85%, 13% and 2% of consolidated revenue for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

Employer Solutions: driven by our digital, software and AI-led capabilities powered by the Alight Worklife® platform and spanning total employee wellbeing and engagement, including integrated benefits administration, healthcare navigation, financial health, employee wellbeing and payroll. These solutions are designed to support employers in effectively managing their workforce through a seamless, integrated platform. We leverage data across all interactions and activities to improve the employee experience, reduce operational costs and better inform management processes and decision-making. In addition, employees benefit from an integrated platform and user experience, coupled with a full-service client care center, helping them manage the full life cycle of their health, wealth and careers.
Professional Services: includes our project-based cloud deployment and consulting offerings that provide expertise with both human capital and financial platforms. Specifically, this includes cloud advisory and deployment, and optimization services for cloud platforms such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle, and Cornerstone OnDemand.

Revenue and Compensation

Revenues are principally derived from fees paid by clients for services. Payment terms are consistent with current industry practice.

 

29


 

Technology

We deliver our solutions through a set of proprietary and partner technologies, a well-developed network of providers and a structured approach to instill and sustain enterprise-wide practices of excellence. With this in mind, there are four layers to our technology strategy, all reinforced with a critical security framework:

Omnichannel customer experience layer that drives a personalized approach for customers.
AI and analytics layer that uses data from our transactional systems, combined with client and third-party data to drive insights for clients.
Core transaction layer that powers our health, wealth and payroll systems.
Infrastructure layer to provide security, stability and performance across our application landscape.

Seasonality

Due to buying patterns and delivery of certain products in the markets we serve, particularly given the timing of annual benefits enrollment, our revenues tend to be higher in the third and fourth quarters of each year.

Licensing and Regulation

Our business activities are subject to licensing requirements and extensive regulation under the laws of countries in which we operate, including United States (“U.S.”) federal and state laws. See the discussion contained in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report, for information regarding how actions by regulatory authorities or changes in legislation and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we operate may have an adverse effect on our business.

Clients

We serve a broad range of clients, including Fortune 500 companies and mid-market businesses, and seek to establish high-quality, strong, long-term relationships with our clients. We proactively solicit client feedback through ongoing surveys and client councils held throughout the year, and we use this critical feedback to enhance our client services and correct course when necessary. Through these surveys, we have learned that clients value the strength and depth of our relationships, scale and breadth of our solutions and our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.

Competition

The markets for our solutions are competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented. Our business faces competition from other global and national companies. The market for our solutions is subject to change as a result of economic, regulatory and legislative changes, technological developments, shifting client needs and increased competition from established and new competitors.

We do not believe there is any single competitor with the breadth of our solutions, and thus our competitors vary for each of our solutions. Our primary competitors include Accenture, Accolade, ADP, Benefitfocus, bswift, Businessolver, Cognizant, Conduent, Deloitte, eHealth, Empower, Fidelity, GoHealth, Grand Rounds, HealthEquity, Mercer, OneSource Virtual, Quantum Health, SD Worx, Vanguard, Voya, Willis Towers Watson, and Workday.

We compete primarily on the basis of product and service quality, technology, breadth of offerings, ease of use and accessibility of technology, data protection, innovation, trust and reliability, price, and reputation.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPARABILITY OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors that may impact the comparability of our results of operations in future operations.

Impact of the Business Combination

Alight is subject to corporate level tax rates at the federal, state and local levels. The Predecessor was and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as such, has generally not been subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Accordingly, other than for certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Predecessor that are structured as corporations and unless otherwise specified, the historical results of operations and other financial information presented does not include any provision for U.S. federal income tax.

Alight (together with certain corporate subsidiaries through which it owns its interest in the Predecessor) pays U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation on its share of our taxable income. The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, including any identified intangible assets, were recorded at their preliminary fair values at the date of completion of the Business Combination, with any excess of the

30


 

purchase price over the preliminary fair value recorded as goodwill. The application of business combination accounting required the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

As a result of the application of accounting for the Business Combination, the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of the Predecessor are not necessarily indicative of the Successor’s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. For example, increased tangible and intangible assets resulting from adjusting the basis of tangible and intangible assets to their fair value would result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the periods following the consummation of the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners that provides for the payment by Alight to such owners of 85% of the benefits that Alight is deemed to realize as a result of the Company’s share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination and other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, we have accounted for Seller Earnout contingent consideration as a liability that requires remeasurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period and adopted the Alight 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan which will result in higher share-based compensation expenses. Lastly, the redemption of our Unsecured Senior Notes and partial paydown of the Term Loan in conjunction with the Business Combination, resulted in lower interest expense.

Impact of Becoming a Public Company

As a result of becoming a public company, we incur additional costs related to human resources, legal, consulting, regulatory, insurance, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

We prepared our discussion of the results of operations by comparing the results of the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 to the results of the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021. The core business operations of the Predecessor and Successor were not significantly impacted by the consummation of the Business Combination.

REVIEW OF RESULTS

Key Components of Our Operations

Revenue

Our clients’ demand for our services ultimately drives our revenues. We generate primarily all of our revenue, which is highly recurring, from fees for services provided from contracts across all solutions, which is primarily based on a contracted fee charged per participant per period (e.g., monthly or annually, as applicable). Our contracts typically have three to five-year terms for ongoing services with mutual renewal options. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time when control of the promised services is transferred and the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services. Payment terms are consistent with industry practice. We calculate growth rates for each of our solutions in relation to recurring revenues and revenues from project work. One of the components of our growth in recurring revenues is the increase in net commercial activity which reflects items such as client wins and losses (“Net Commercial Activity”). We define client wins as sales to new clients and sales of new solutions to existing clients. We define client losses as instances where clients do not renew or terminate their arrangements in relation to individual solutions or all of the solutions that we provide.

Cost of Services, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization includes compensation-related and vendor costs directly attributable to client-related services and costs related to application development and client-related infrastructure.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation and amortization related to our hardware, software and application development. Depreciation and amortization may increase or decrease in absolute dollars in future periods depending on the future level of capital investments in hardware, software and application development.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses include compensation-related costs for administrative and management employees, system and facilities expenses, and costs for external professional and consulting services.

Depreciation and Intangible Amortization

Depreciation and intangible amortization expenses consist of charges relating to the depreciation of the property and equipment used in our business and the amortization of acquired customer-related and contract-based intangible assets and technology related intangible assets. Depreciation and intangible amortization may increase or decrease in absolute dollars in future periods depending on the future level of capital investments in hardware and other equipment as well as amortization expense associated with future acquisitions.

Gain from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Gain from change in fair value of financial instruments includes the impact of the revaluation to fair value at the end of each reporting period for the Seller Earnouts contingent consideration.

Gain from Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Agreement

Gain from change in fair value of Tax Receivable Agreement includes the impact of the revaluation to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily includes interest expense related to our outstanding debt.

Other (Income) Expense, net

Other (income) expense, net includes non-operating expenses and income, including realized currency translation.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (Successor) Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (Predecessor)

Revenue

Revenues were $725 million for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $689 million for the Predecessor prior year period. The increase of $36 million reflects growth of 6% in our Employer Solutions segment and 20% in our Hosted Business Segment, partially offset by a decline of 2% in our Professional Services segment. We measure revenue growth as it relates to the cloud-based products and solutions that are central to our Alight Worklife® platform and next generation product suite, BPaaS Solutions. These products capitalize on our robust data combined with AI & analytics to deliver greater employee engagement

32


 

and employer outcomes. BPaaS products and services span across both the Employer Solutions and Professional Services segments and for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded BPaaS revenue of $114 million, which represents growth of 23% compared to the Predecessor prior year period.

In addition, we also consider BPaaS bookings, defined as total contract value for BPaaS customer agreements executed in the period, to be a key indicator of future revenue growth and used as a metric of commercial activity by management and investors. For the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, BPaaS bookings of $122 million represents growth of 205% compared to the Predecessor prior year period.

Recurring revenues increased by $40 million, or 7%, from $572 million to $612 million and are related to growth in all three segments. Growth in Employer Solutions is a result of higher revenues related to acquisitions, increased volumes and increases in Net Commercial Activity. Growth in Professional Services is a result of increases in Net Commercial Activity. Project revenues decreased by $4 million, or 3%, from $117 million to $113 million and are related to a decline in both Professional Services and Employer Solutions.

In addition, a majority of our revenue is generated in the U.S., which reflected 87% of the total revenue increase for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the Predecessor prior year period.

Cost of Services, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $39 million, or 9%, for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the Predecessor prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by recent acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2021 and higher costs related to growth in current and future revenues, including investments in key resources.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $23 million, or 20%, for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the Predecessor prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by compensation expenses related to awards issued beginning in the second half of 2021.

Depreciation and Intangible Amortization

Depreciation and intangible amortization expenses increased $30 million, or 55%, for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the Predecessor prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by amortization related to the identifiable intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the Business Combination completed in the third quarter of 2021 and acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Gain from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A gain from a change in the fair value of financial instruments of $13 million was recorded for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022. The gain is due to the revaluation of our financial instruments, which we are required to revalue at the end of each reporting period. We did not have outstanding financial instruments in the Predecessor period prior to the Business Combination.

Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Agreement

A gain from the change in the fair value of the tax receivable agreement of $5 million was recorded for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022. The revaluation gain is due to changes in the discount rate, partially offset by accretion of interest and changes in the Company's assumptions related to the timing of the utilization of the tax attributes during the term of the TRA, which we are required to revalue at the end of each reporting period. We did not have a tax receivable agreement in the Predecessor period prior to the Business Combination.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $33 million, or 53%, for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the Predecessor prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the redemption of our Unsecured Senior Notes and partial paydown of the Term Loan in conjunction with the Business Combination completed during the third quarter of 2021. See Note 8 “Debt” for additional information.

Loss before Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Loss before income tax expense (benefit) was $12 million for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, an improvement of $12 million compared to $24 million for the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the drivers identified above.

33


 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $1 million for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to an income tax benefit of $3 million in the Predecessor prior year period. The effective tax rate of (12%) for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 is lower than the 21% U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate primarily due to losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit has not been recorded. The effective tax rate of 14% for the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily driven by foreign and state income taxes payable in jurisdictions where the Company had operations that generated operating income. See Note 7 “Income Taxes” for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance our management and stakeholders understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management also uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to manage and evaluate the business, make planning decisions, allocate resources and as performance measures for Company-wide bonus plans. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

The measures referred to as “adjusted”, have limitations as analytical tools, and such measures should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

Measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or contractual commitments;
Measure does not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
Measure does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, including payments related to the Tax Receivable Agreement;
Measure does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often need to be replaced in the future, and the adjusted measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies may calculate adjusted measures differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted Net Income, which is defined as net loss attributable to Alight, Inc. adjusted for intangible amortization and the impact of certain non-cash items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a non-GAAP financial measure used solely for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of shares of common stock, diluted. The adjusted weighted shares calculation assumes the full exchange of the noncontrolling interest units and non-vested time-based restricted units that were determined to be antidilutive and therefore excluded from the U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, including the adjusted weighted-average number of shares, is used by us and our investors to evaluate our core operating performance and to benchmark our operating performance against our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Capital Expenditures

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management and our stakeholders to provide useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Capital Expenditures are non-GAAP measures that are used by management and stakeholders to evaluate our core operating performance.

35


 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Capital Expenditures should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or to distribute to stockholders or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity

Executive Summary

Our primary sources of liquidity include our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility. Our primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, funding of our debt requirements and capital expenditures.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including principal and interest payments on debt obligations, capital expenditures, payments on our Tax Receivable Agreement and anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We believe our liquidity position at March 31, 2022 remains strong. We continue to closely monitor and proactively manage our liquidity position as economic conditions change and the potential impact of a rising interest rate environment.

Cash on our balance sheet includes funds available for general corporate purposes. Funds held on behalf of clients in a fiduciary capacity are segregated and shown in Fiduciary assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, with a corresponding amount in Fiduciary liabilities. Fiduciary funds are not used for general corporate purposes and are not a source of liquidity for us.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $20 million to $19 million for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 from $39 million for the Predecessor prior year period, driven by increased working capital requirements, partially offset by higher non-cash items and a decrease in Net loss. Working capital requirements increased by $62 million primarily related to higher benefit-related payments, timing of billings combined with slightly lower collections and lower accrued interest related to the redemption of Unsecured Senior Notes in the second half of 2021, partially offset by cash receipts related to commissions receivable. The increase in non-cash items of $34 million is primarily due to higher intangible amortization and share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by gains from changes in fair value for both financial instruments and the tax receivable agreement, all of which were related to the Business Combination completed in the third quarter of 2021.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 was $41 million, driven by capital expenditures.

Cash used for investing activities for the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 was $27 million, driven by capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the Successor three months ended March 31, 2022 was $305 million. The primary drivers of the cash provided by financing activities were a net increase in the cash flow from client funds obligations of $327 million, primarily due to timing of client funding and subsequent disbursement of payments, and borrowings of $54 million, partially offset by loan repayments of $60 million, finance lease payments of $8 million, payments for settlements related to interest rate swaps of $4 million and financing fees related to debt refinancing of $3 million.

Cash provided by financing activities for the Predecessor three months ended March 31, 2021 was $155 million. The primary drivers of the cash provided by financing activities were bank borrowings of $54 million, offset by loan repayments of $62 million, payments for settlements related to interest rate swaps of $7 million, finance lease payments of $6 million, unit repurchases of $2 million, and payments for contingent consideration of $1 million. Net cash flows from financing activities also changed due to a net increase in the cash flow from client funds obligations of $179 million, primarily due to timing of client funding and subsequent disbursement of payments.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Fiduciary Assets

At March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $326 million, a decrease of $46 million from December 31, 2021. Of the total balances of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none of the balances were restricted as to use.

Some of our client agreements require us to hold funds on behalf of clients to pay obligations on their behalf. The levels of Fiduciary assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly, depending on when we collect the amounts from clients and make payments on their behalf. Such funds are not available to service our debt or for other corporate purposes. There is typically a short period of time between when the Company receives funds and when it pays obligations on behalf of clients. We are entitled to retain investment income earned on fiduciary funds, when investment strategies are deployed, in accordance with industry custom and practice, which has historically been immaterial. In our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the amount we report for Fiduciary assets and Fiduciary liabilities are equal. Our Fiduciary assets included cash of $1,607 million and $1,280 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

39


 

Other Liquidity Matters

Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to risks and uncertainties. For further information, see the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report.

We do not have any material business, operations or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine and we have not been materially impacted by the actions of the Russian government. Our total revenues from these three countries are de minimis for all periods presented.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the TRA with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners that provides for the payment by Alight to such owners of 85% of the benefits that Alight is deemed to realize as a result of the Company’s share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination and other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Actual tax benefits realized by Alight may differ from tax benefits calculated under the TRA as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the TRA, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, we expect that the payments that Alight may make under the TRA will be substantial. As of March 31, 2022, we do not expect to make any material payments within the next two years, and anticipate payments to become more material beginning in 2024.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There have been no material changes to our obligations and commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Our material contractual obligations include debt, non-cancellable contractual service and purchase obligations and lease obligations. For additional information regarding debt and non-cancellable contractual service and purchases obligations, see the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Note 8 “Debt”, and Note 19 “Commitments and Contingencies”.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There were no material changes from the Critical Accounting Estimates disclosed in the Annual Report. Please refer to "Critical Accounting Estimates" described in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II of the Annual Report, from which there have been no material changes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of the Annual Report. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since the filing of the Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will necessarily prevent all errors and all fraud. However, management does expect the control system provides reasonable assurance that its objectives will be met. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that the information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

40


 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

41


 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

We are a party to a variety of legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our results of operations or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are any of the risks described in our Annual Report. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s filings mentioned in the aforementioned paragraph.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
