NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Conduent” refer to Conduent Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
Description of Business
The Company is a global enterprise and leading provider of business process services with expertise in managing operations involving high volume, repeatable and individualized interactions. The Company's portfolio covers both front office and back office operations; however, the majority of its revenue and differentiation derives from engagements where it serves on behalf of its clients to manage end-user interactions across a wide-range of domains. Examples include payments, collections, benefit administration and end-user communication services. The Company creates value for its commercial and government clients through more efficient service delivery combined with a personalized and seamless experience for the end-user. The Company applies its expertise, technology and innovation to continually modernize its offering for improved customer and constituent satisfaction and loyalty, increase process efficiency and respond rapidly to changing market dynamics.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year information to conform to current year presentation. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to December 31, 2017 that were applicable and material to the Company.
New Accounting Standards Adopted
Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, which is also referred to herein as "new revenue standard" to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and replaced all existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with one accounting model. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers largely on a disaggregated basis. The Company adopted the new revenue standard as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company is applying the new revenue standard only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption has primarily impacted the following: (1) revenue associated with postage recognized on a net basis versus previously being recognized on a gross basis; (2) the timing of revenue recognition associated with fixed fees for certain contracts with more than one performance obligation; and (3) the timing of recognition of certain pricing discounts and credits.
The Company recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $17 million as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting this new guidance. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented.
The impact of the new revenue standard for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was a decrease in Revenue of $32 million and $76 million, respectively, primarily as a result of recognizing postage receipts on a net basis, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The impact of the new revenue standard, as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2018, on the Company’s pre-tax income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows was not material.
Summary of Accounting Policy
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company's contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately, versus together, may require significant judgment. For instance, the Company may contract for an implementation or development project and also provide services to operate the system which the Company implements or develops over a period of time; or the Company may contract to scan, manage and store customer documents. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin.
Conduent Q2 2018 Form 10-Q
8
Once the Company determines the performance obligations, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration, if any, to be included in determining the transaction price. The majority of the Company's contracts consist of fixed consideration, variable consideration or both. Typical forms of variable consideration include variable pricing such as volume discounts, tiered and declining pricing, penalties for service level agreements, performance bonuses and credits. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. In order to determine the transaction price, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the inception of the contract, either utilizing the expected value or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company estimates variable consideration and performs a constraint analysis for these contracts on the basis of both historical information and current trends.
The Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to customers over time. Typically, the Company’s contracts include performance obligation(s) to stand-ready on a daily or monthly basis to provide services to the customers. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service. In limited circumstances, the Company also uses a cost-to-cost based input method. The Company has determined that the above methods provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to the customer.
Estimates of revenue expected to be recognized in future periods exclude unexercised customer options to purchase additional services that do not represent material rights to the customer. Customer options that do not represent a material right are only accounted for, in accordance with the new revenue standard, when the customer exercises its option to purchase additional goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for non-refundable upfront implementation fees on a straight-line basis over the period between the initiation of the services through the end of the contract terms.
When more than one party is involved in providing services to a customer, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal, and reports revenue on a gross basis, or an agent, and reports revenue on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company considers the following: if it obtains control of the specified services before they are transferred to the customer; is primarily responsible for fulfillment and inventory risk; and has discretion in establishing price.
The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. The primary revenue-based taxes are sales tax and value-added tax (VAT).
The Company's payment terms vary by type of services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain services and customer types, the Company requires payment before services are rendered.
From time to time, the Company's contracts are modified to account for additions or changes to existing performance obligations. The Company's contract modifications are generally accounted for prospectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue
During the second quarter, the Company changed how it presents the disaggregated revenue by major service line to reflect the core businesses separate from the non-core businesses. This change had no impact on disaggregated revenue by reportable segment or the timing of revenue recognition.
The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major service line, the timing of revenue recognition and a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue by reportable segments. Refer to Note 3 – Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's reportable segments.

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

Revenues of $98 million and $181 million were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, related to the Company's unearned income at January 1, 2018. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
Estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at June 30, 2018, was approximately $2.4 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 66% of the revenues over the next two years and the remainder thereafter.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to internal sales personnel that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts. The net book value of these costs, which was $28 million as of June 30, 2018, are included in Other current assets or Other long-term assets. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are incremental and directly related to a successful acquisition of a customer contract. These costs are amortized in Selling, general and administrative costs over the term of the contract or the estimated life of the customer relationship, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred if the amortization period of the sales commission is one year or less.
Also, the Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. The net book value of these costs, which comprise set-up/transition activities, was $58 million as of June 30, 2018, and are classified in Other current assets or Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed to Cost of services as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the service to the customer. These costs are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected period of benefit.
The amounts of amortization of cost incurred to obtain and fulfill a contract for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, were $13 million and $27 million, respectively.
Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance regarding the presentation of restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Specifically, this update requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company adopted this updated accounting guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective method. The revision to prior year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from the adoption of this guidance was a reclassification in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of $25 million of restricted cash to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted
Leases: In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases except short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less). The accounting for lessors is largely unchanged. This updated guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. This guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. While we are currently evaluating the impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, we do expect a material impact to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Segment Reporting
The Company's reportable segments correspond to how we organize and manage the business and are aligned to the industries in which our clients operate.
Beginning in 2018, the Company moved the Health Enterprise business from the Other segment into the Public Sector segment. In addition, the Company moved the historical results of the divested businesses to the Other segment from both the Commercial Industries and the Public Sector segments. The prior periods presented have been revised to reflect these changes.
Our financial performance is based on Segment Profit / (Loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the following two segments:
• | Commercial Industries |
• | Public Sector |
Commercial Industries: Our Commercial Industries segment provides business process services and customized solutions to clients in a variety of industries. Across the Commercial Industries segment, we deliver end-to-end business-to-business and business-to-customer services that enable our clients to optimize their key processes. Our multi-industry competencies include omni-channel communications, human resource management and finance and accounting services.
Public Sector: Our Public Sector segment provides government-centric business process services to U.S. federal, state and local and foreign governments for transportation, public assistance, program administration, transaction processing, Medicaid platform and payment services.
Other segment includes businesses divested in 2017 and our Student Loan business, which is in run-off mode. The Company expects to exit the Student Loan business in the third quarter of 2018. In the third quarter of 2018 and beyond, any remaining costs for Student Loans will be reflected in Other (income) expenses, net.

Note 5 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs
The Company engages in a series of restructuring programs related to downsizing its employee base, exiting certain activities, outsourcing certain internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce its cost structure and improve productivity. The implementation of the Company's strategic transformation program and various productivity initiatives have reduced the Company's real estate footprint across all geographies and segments resulting in increased lease cancellation and other related costs. Management continues to evaluate the Company's business; therefore, in future years, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives, as well as changes in previously recorded estimates, as payments are made or actions are completed.
Costs associated with restructuring, including employee severance and lease termination costs, are generally recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally upon communication to the affected employees or exit from the leased facility. In those geographies where we have either a formal severance plan or a history of consistently providing severance benefits representing a substantive plan, we recognize employee severance costs when they are both probable and reasonably estimable.
A summary of the Company's restructuring program activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

Loans Repricing
On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (Amendment) to the December 7, 2016 Credit Agreement, which (i) extended the revolving credit maturity from December 7, 2021 to December 7, 2022 and reduced the interest rate on the revolving credit by 0.5% from 2.25% over LIBOR to 1.75% over LIBOR; (ii) extended the maturity date of the Term A Loans from December 7, 2021 to December 7, 2022 and reduced the interest rate by 0.5% from 2.25% over LIBOR to 1.75% over LIBOR, and (iii) reduced the interest rate on the Term B Loans by 0.5% from 3.0% over LIBOR to 2.5% over LIBOR. These transactions resulted in a write-off of unamortized discount and issuance costs of $3 million.
Note 7 – Financial Instruments
The Company is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As a part of the Company's foreign exchange risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to hedge the funding of foreign entities which have a non-dollar functional currency, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with gross notional values of approximately $136 million and $160 million, respectively. Approximately 60% of these contracts mature within three months, 15% in three to six months, 19% in six to twelve months and 6% in greater than twelve months. The majority of these foreign currency derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, income statement or cash flows for the periods presented.
Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value base on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Note 11 – Contingencies and Litigation
As more fully discussed below, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: securities law; governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; environmental law; employment law; commercial and contracts law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and other laws and regulations. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing its litigation and regulatory matters using available information. The Company develops its view on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in the Company's determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, in excess of any accrual for such matter or matters, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters as of June 30, 2018. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters and such outcome in any such matters could be in excess of any amounts accrued and could be material to the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any reporting period.
Additionally, guarantees, indemnifications and claims arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with suppliers, customers and non-consolidated affiliates when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specified triggering events occur. Nonperformance under a contract could trigger an obligation of the Company. These potential claims include actions based upon alleged exposures to products, real estate, intellectual property such as patents, environmental matters and other indemnifications. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the final outcome of these claims. However, while the ultimate liabilities resulting from such claims may be significant to results of operations in the period recognized, management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial position or liquidity. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had accrued its estimate of liability incurred under its indemnification arrangements and guarantees.
Litigation Against the Company
State of Texas v. Xerox Corporation, Conduent Business Services, LLC (f/k/a Xerox Business Services, LLC), Conduent State Healthcare, LLC (f/k/a Xerox State Healthcare, LLC, f/k/a ACS State Healthcare, LLC) and Conduent Incorporated: On May 9, 2014, the State of Texas, via the Texas Office of Attorney General (the “State”), filed a lawsuit in the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC and ACS State Healthcare (collectively, the "Xerox Defendants") violated the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act in the administration of its contract with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (“HHSC”). The State alleges that the Xerox Defendants made false representations of material facts regarding the processes, procedures, implementation and results regarding the prior authorization of orthodontic claims. The State seeks recovery of amounts paid for orthodontic treatment under the Texas Medicaid program for the period from approximately 2004 to 2012, three times the amount of the payments made as a result of the alleged unlawful acts, civil penalties, pre- and post-judgment interest and all costs and attorneys’ fees. The Xerox Defendants filed their Answer in June, 2014 denying all allegations. A trial date is schedule for November, 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the State notified the Xerox Defendants in the litigation discovery process that its claim is in excess of two billion dollars based primarily on the assertion of treble damages and civil penalties per illegal act for almost two hundred thousand purported illegal acts. The Xerox Defendants will forcefully contest this assertion and continue to vigorously defend themselves in this matter. During the second quarter of 2018, the trial date was rescheduled for May, 2019. We are not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of losses, if any, in excess of the thirty-eight million dollars the Company has already accrued. In the course of litigation, the Company periodically engages in discussions with the State's counsel for possible resolution of the matter. Should developments cause a change in the Company's determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or settlement for a significant amount, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Dennis Nasrawi v. Buck Consultants et al.: On October 8, 2009, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, Stanislaus County, and on November 24, 2009, the case was removed to the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division. Plaintiffs allege actuarial negligence against Buck Consultants, LLC (“Buck”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conduent, for the use of faulty actuarial assumptions in connection with the 2007 actuarial valuation for the Stanislaus County Employees Retirement Association (“StanCERA”). Plaintiffs allege that the employer contribution rate adopted by StanCERA based on Buck’s valuation was insufficient to fund the benefits promised by the County. On July 13, 2012, the Court entered its ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue in a representative capacity on behalf of all plan participants. The Court also ruled that plaintiffs had adequately pleaded their claim that Buck allegedly aided and abetted StanCERA in breaching its fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs then filed their Fifth Amended Complaint and added StanCERA to the litigation. Buck and StanCERA filed demurrers to the amended complaint. On September 13, 2012, the Court sustained both demurrers with prejudice, completely dismissing the matter and barring plaintiffs from refiling their claims. Plaintiffs appealed, and ultimately the California Court of Appeals (Sixth District) reversed the trial court’s ruling and remanded the case back to the trial court. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of parallel litigation the plaintiffs are pursuing against StanCERA. Buck will continue to aggressively defend these lawsuits. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome or loss, if any.
Conduent Business Services, LLC v. Cognizant Business Services, LLC: On April 12, 2017, Conduent Business Services LLC (“Conduent”) filed a lawsuit against Cognizant Business Services Corporation (“Cognizant”) in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York. The lawsuit relates to the Amended and Restated Master Outsourcing Services Agreement effective as of October 24, 2012, and the service delivery contracts and work orders thereunder, between Conduent and Cognizant, as amended and supplemented (the “Contract”). The Contract contains certain minimum purchase obligations by Conduent through the date of expiration. The lawsuit alleges that Cognizant committed multiple breaches of the Contract, including Cognizant’s failure to properly perform its obligations as subcontractor to Conduent under Conduent’s contract with the New York Department of Health to provide a Medicaid Management Information Systems (the “NY MMIS Contract”). In the lawsuit, Conduent seeks damages in excess of one hundred fifty million dollars. During the first quarter of 2018, Conduent provided notice to Cognizant that it was terminating the Contract for cause and recorded in the same period certain charges associated with the termination. Cognizant has asserted counterclaims against Conduent in the lawsuit seeking damages in excess of twenty-two million dollars. Conduent has responded to Cognizant’s counterclaims by denying the allegations. Conduent will continue to vigorously defend itself against the counterclaims but the Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome.

Other Matters
On January 5, 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") notified Xerox Education Services, Inc. (XES) that, in accordance with the CFPB’s discretionary Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (NORA) process, the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement is considering recommending that the CFPB take legal action against XES, alleging that XES violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act’s prohibition of unfair practices. Should the CFPB commence an action, it may seek restitution, civil monetary penalties, injunctive relief, or other corrective action. The purpose of a NORA letter is to provide a party being investigated an opportunity to present its position to the CFPB before an enforcement action is recommended or commenced. XES submitted its response to the NORA. The CFPB’s NORA stems from an inquiry that commenced in 2014 when XES received and responded to a CFPB Civil Investigative Demand containing a broad request for information. During this process, XES self-disclosed to the U.S. Department of Education (the "Department") and the CFPB certain adjustments of which it had become aware that had not been timely made relating to its servicing of a small percentage of third-party student loans under outsourcing arrangements for various financial institutions. The CFPB, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Justice, the New York Office of the Attorney General, the New York Department of Financial Services and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General began similar reviews. XES has cooperated and continues to fully cooperate with all regulatory agencies and resolved the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General investigation in November 2016. Both as a result of these inquiries, its own reviews of operations and work performed by external auditors, XES has identified certain other operational issues requiring remediation, and this remediation work has commenced. XES continues to review its operations to determine whether any additional remediation work is necessary. XES disclosed these additional operational projects to the Department at the end of the second quarter of 2018 and is working with the Department to develop plans to complete these projects while XES exits the business. The Company cannot provide assurance that the CFPB or another regulator or party will not ultimately commence a legal action against XES in which fines, penalties or other liabilities are sought from XES, nor is the Company able to predict the likely outcome of these investigations. The Company could in future periods incur judgments or enter into settlements to resolve these investigations for amounts in excess of current reserves and there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in judgment or settlement occurs.
Other Contingencies
Certain contracts, primarily in the Company's Public Sector segment, require the Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $635 million of outstanding surety bonds used to secure its performance of contractual obligations with its clients and $339 million of outstanding letters of credit issued to secure the Company's performance of contractual obligations to its clients as well as other corporate obligations. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the Company's performance of its obligations under each contract. The Company believes it has sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from its cash flow and its various credit arrangements (including its Credit Facility) to allow it to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.
The Company has service arrangements where the Company services third-party student loans in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various financial institutions. At July 31 2018, the Company serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 14,500 loans. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under certain circumstances, require the Company to purchase the loans if the loan guaranty has been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by the Company's servicing error. If defaults caused by the Company are cured during an initial period, any obligation the Company may have to purchase these loans expires. Loans that the Company purchases may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and the loans repackaged for sale to third parties. The Company evaluates its exposure under its purchase obligations on defaulted loans and establishes a reserve for potential losses. The reserve is evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon management’s analysis of the historical performance of the defaulted loans. As of June 30, 2018, Other current liabilities included reserves of approximately $0.3 million, which the Company believes to be adequate. In addition to potential purchase obligations arising from servicing errors, various laws and regulations applicable to student loan borrowers could give rise to fines, penalties and other liabilities associated with loan servicing errors.

Revenue
Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, mainly due to the impact from adopting the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, which is also referred to herein as "new revenue standard", divestitures completed in 2017, strategic decisions by management as part of our portfolio rationalization, including exiting certain unprofitable contracts and contract losses. Partially offsetting these declines were increases from the ramp of new business.
Cost of Services
Cost of services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, mainly driven by reductions in real estate, information technology and labor costs from our strategic transformation initiatives, lost business, strategic contract actions taken by management as part of portfolio management, lower volumes and divestitures completed in 2017.
Gross Margin
Increase in gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year periods, was driven primarily by the impact of cost and productivity improvements, including reductions in real estate, information technology and labor costs from our strategic transformation initiatives and exiting or remediating certain underperforming contracts. These were partially offset by contract losses.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
Lower SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year periods, was reflective of the impact of our strategic transformation initiatives, primarily due to reductions in labor costs.
Conduent Q2 2018 Form 10-Q

Restructuring and Related Costs
Restructuring and related costs for the three months ended June 30, 2018, include $5 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions of approximately 600 employees worldwide and $12 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint.
Restructuring and related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2018, include $19 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions of approximately 1,400 employees worldwide and $17 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint.
Restructuring and related costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017, include $19 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions of approximately 1,800 employees worldwide and $15 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint.
Restructuring and related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017, include $29 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions of approximately 2,500 employees worldwide and $17 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint and $8 million of strategic transformation costs.
Refer to Note 5 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense represents interest on long-term debts and the amortization of debt issuance costs. Increase in Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year period, was driven primarily by write-off of debt issuance costs to certain loans that were refinanced in June 2018. Refer to Note 6 – Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(Gain) Loss on Divestitures and Transaction Costs
Increase in gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year periods, was driven primarily by the gain from the sale of the Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) business, partially offset by transaction costs.
Litigation Costs (Recoveries), Net
Increase in net litigation costs for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to income received in 2017 from several customer dispute settlements and increase in reserves for certain Student Loan services remediation in 2018.
Increase in net litigation costs for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to income received in 2017 from several customer dispute settlements, reserves for certain terminated contracts that are subject to litigation and increase in reserves for certain Student Loan services remediation in 2018.
Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform) was enacted. The income tax effects of the Tax Reform have been initially accounted for on a provisional basis pursuant to the SEC staff guidance on income taxes. Reasonable estimates for all material tax effects of the Tax Reform have been provided and adjustments to provisional amounts will be made in subsequent reporting periods as information becomes available to complete provisional computations.
Conduent Q2 2018 Form 10-Q

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 79.6%, compared with 63.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The June 30, 2018 rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the impacts of the divestiture of the CVO business and the geographic mix of income, partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits and related valuation allowance release. As a result of higher projected U.S. Federal taxable income caused by the divestiture, the Company is not expected to be subject to Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) in 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was higher than the statutory tax rate of 35%, primarily due to U.S. losses from amortization and restructuring that were taxed at a higher rate than our pre-tax income from foreign operations.
Excluding the gain from the sale of the CVO business, charges for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and divestiture related costs, the normalized effective tax rate without a BEAT tax for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 11.1%. The normalized effective tax rate was 33.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, predominantly impacted by the exclusion of amortization of intangible assets and restructuring costs.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was anomalous, compared with 57.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The June 30, 2018 rate was anomalous, primarily due to goodwill allocated to the divested CVO business that is not deductible for U.S. tax purposes and the geographic mix of income, partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits and related valuation allowance release. As a result of higher projected U.S. Federal taxable income caused by the divestiture, the Company is not expected to be subject to BEAT in 2018. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was higher than the statutory tax rate of 35%, primarily due to U.S. losses from amortization and restructuring that were taxed at a higher rate than our pre-tax income from foreign operations.
Excluding the gain from the sale of the CVO business, charges for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and divestiture related costs, the normalized effective tax rate without a BEAT tax for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 22.9%. The normalized effective tax rate was 33.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, predominantly impacted by the exclusion of amortization of intangible assets and restructuring costs.
Operations Review of Segment Revenue and Profit
Our reportable segments correspond to how we organize and manage the business and are aligned to the industries in which our clients operate.
Beginning in 2018, the Company moved the Health Enterprise business from Other segment into Public Sector segment. In addition, the Company moved the historical results of the businesses that were divested during the third quarter of 2017 to Other segment from both the Commercial Industries and the Public Sector segments.
Our financial performance is based on Segment Profit / (Loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the following two segments:
• | Commercial Industries, and |
• | Public Sector. |
Other segment includes businesses divested in 2017 and our Student Loan business, which is in run-off mode. The Company expects to exit the Student Loan business in the third quarter of 2018. In the third quarter of 2018, any remaining costs for Student Loans will be reflected in Other (income) expenses, net.

Commercial Industries Segment
Revenue
Commercial Industries revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased, compared to prior year periods, primarily driven by strategic contract actions and the impact of the new revenue standard, partially offset by revenue from new contracts and volume increases from existing accounts.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
Increase in the Commercial Industries segment profit and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to prior year periods, was mainly driven by reductions in real estate, information technology and labor costs from our strategic transformation initiatives and from increases in new business, partially offset by the overall revenue decline from existing clients and investments, primarily in our sales force.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
Increase in the Public Sector segment profit and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to prior year periods, was mainly driven by reductions in real estate, information technology and labor costs from our strategic transformation initiatives and contract remediation, partially offset by the overall revenue decline from existing clients and investment, primarily in our sales force.
Other Segment
Revenue
Other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased, compared to prior year periods, driven mainly by the divestitures completed in 2017 and the run-off of our Student Loan business.

(1) | Annual recurring revenue signings are for contracts longer than one year. |
(2) | Non-recurring revenue signings are for contracts shorter than one year. |
Signings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased, compared to the prior year, mainly due to increased renewal activities; partially offset by new business signings decline due to a continued focus on strategic wins with acceptable margins.
Renewal Rate
Renewal rate is defined as the annual recurring revenue (ARR) on contracts that are renewed during the period as a percentage of ARR on all contracts for which a renewal decision was made during the period, excluding any contracts that were not renewed and where a strategic action to improve the risk or profitability had been initiated.
Excluding our strategic decision not to renew certain contracts, renewal rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were 99% and 97%, respectively.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, total cash and cash equivalents were $993 million and $658 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, there were $1.5 billion outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the December 7, 2016 Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 6 – Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In July 2018, the Company redeemed most of its Senior Notes, which included principal, premium and interest, of $575 million. Also in July 2018, the Company completed the sale of a non-core business with total proceeds of $24 million. Refer to Note 15 – Subsequent Events in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Cash Flow Analysis
The following table summarizes our cash flows, as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Operating activities: The increase in cash generated from operating activities was primarily attributable to improvements in working capital and lower Health Enterprise wind-down payments for certain contracts, partially offset by payments for restructuring and prepaid software licenses.
Investing activities: The increase in cash generated from investing activities was primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of the CVO business, partially offset by increased spending for capital expenditures.
Financing activities: The increase in cash used from financing activities was related to net debt repayments, including repayments of capital leases.
Market Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates.
Recent market events have not caused us to materially modify nor change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 7 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our results using the non-GAAP measures described below.
We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related tax effects. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current periods’ results against the corresponding prior periods’ results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions and providing such non-GAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as the factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided in the tables below.
These reconciliations also include the income tax effects of our non-GAAP performance measures in total, to the extent applicable. The income tax effects are calculated under the same accounting principles as applied to our reported pre-tax performance measures under ASC 740, which employs an annual effective tax rate method to the results including an adjustment for estimated BEAT. The income tax effect for our non-GAAP performance measures is effectively the difference in income taxes for reported and adjusted pre-tax income calculated under the annual effective tax rate method. The tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments was calculated based upon evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable statutory tax rate in the jurisdictions in which such charges were incurred.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
We made adjustments to Income (Loss) before Income Taxes for the following items for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate:
• | Restructuring and related costs. Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our strategic transformation program. |
Conduent Q2 2018 Form 10-Q
32
• | Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The amortization of acquired intangible assets is driven by acquisition activity, which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. |
• | Separation costs. Separation costs are expenses incurred in connection with separation from Xerox Corporation into a separate, independent, publicly traded company. These costs primarily relate to third-party investment banking, accounting, legal, consulting and other similar types of services related to the separation transaction as well as costs associated with the operational separation of the two companies. |
• | (Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs. Represents (gain) loss on divested businesses and transactions costs. |
• | Litigation costs (recoveries), net. Litigation costs (recoveries), net represents reserves for certain terminated contracts that are subject to litigation. |
• | Other (income) expenses, net. Other (income) expenses, net includes currency (gains) losses, net and all other (income) expenses, net. |
• | New York Medicaid Management Information System (NY MMIS). Costs associated with the Company not fully completing the State of New York Health Enterprise Platform project. |
• | Health Enterprise charge (HE charge). Costs associated with not fully completing the Health Enterprise Medical platform projects in California and Montana. |
The Company provides adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions.
Management believes that adjusted effective tax rate, provided as supplemental information, facilitates a comparison by investors of our actual effective tax rate with an adjusted effective tax rate which reflects the impact of the items which are excluded in providing adjusted net income, and may provide added insight into our underlying business results and how effective tax rates impact our ongoing business.
