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.

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, 2018. 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. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to December 31, 2018 that were applicable and material to the Company.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

Leases: The Company adopted the new lease guidance as of January 1, 2019, using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient. Additionally, the Company has elected not to include short-term leases, with a term of 12 months or less, on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


						CNDT Q3 2019 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

The impact of adopting this new guidance included the establishment of Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets of $387 million, an increase to Other current liabilities of $103 million, a decrease to Other long-term liabilities of $21 million, the establishment of Operating lease liabilities of $316 million and a net decrease to opening retained earnings (deficit) of $8 million, as of January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Summary of Accounting Policies

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. The Company has operating and finance leases for real estate and equipment. Operating leases are included in Operating lease ROU assets, Other current liabilities, and Operating lease liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Land, buildings and equipment, net, Current portion of long-term debt, and Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option based on economic factors. The Company recognizes operating fixed lease expense and finance lease depreciation on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense is recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components separately for its equipment leases, based on the estimated standalone price of each component, and combines lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases.

The components of lease costs were as follows:


(in millions)	Three Months Ended September 30, 2019		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Finance Lease Costs:
Amortization of right of use assets	$	2	$	8
Interest on lease liabilities	—		1
Total Finance Lease Costs	$	2	$	9
Operating lease costs:

Finance lease liabilities:

Long-term debt	10
Total Finance Lease Liabilities	$	17

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. The weighted average discount rates for operating and finance leases were 5.5% and 4.8%, respectively.

The weighted average remaining lease terms for operating and finance leases at September 30, 2019, were 5 years and 3 years, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had entered into additional operating lease agreements for real estate of $15 million, which have not commenced and have not been recognized on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. These operating leases are expected to commence between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 with lease terms of 4 to 10 years.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted

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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company changed how it presents the disaggregated revenue by major service line for Government Services and Healthcare and State and local to reflect how the businesses are managed. This change had no impact on disaggregated revenue by reportable segment or the timing of revenue recognition. All prior periods presented have been revised to reflect this change.

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major service line, the timing of revenue recognition and a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue by reportable segments. Refer to Note 4 – Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's reportable segments.

Contract Balances

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

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


(in millions)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Note 5 – Assets/Liabilities Held for Sale

In February 2019, the Company completed the sale of a portfolio of select standalone customer care contracts to Skyview Capital LLC. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an additional loss, inclusive of transaction costs, of $12 million on the sale of this portfolio, reflecting certain changes in estimates that were made when recording the initial charge. The revenue generated from this business was $36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $439 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note 6 – Business Acquisition

In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Health Solutions Plus (HSP), a software provider of healthcare payer administration solutions, for a total base consideration of $90 million and a maximum contingent consideration payment of $8 million based on a cumulative achievement over two years. Revenues recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $6 million and $15 million, respectively. Pre-tax income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $2 million and $4 million, respectively.


						CNDT Q3 2019 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

The Company’s purchase price allocation for the HSP acquisition is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information related to the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. The preliminary purchase price based upon the current determination of fair value at September 30, 2019 was as follows:


(in millions)	September 30, 2019
Fair Value of Consideration Transferred:
Cash paid	$	90
Recorded earn-out payable	7
Total Consideration	$	97
Allocation of Purchase Price:
Net tangible assets	$	10
Developed technology	20
Costs Assigned to Intangible Assets
Customer relationships	18
Trademarks and trade names	1
Goodwill	48
Total Intangible Assets	67

Total Assets	$	97

The weighted average amortization periods are 7 years, 15 years and 1.5 years for Developed technology, Customer relationships and Trademarks and trade names, respectively. The acquired goodwill is associated with the Company's Commercial Industries segment. This acquired goodwill, while tax deductible, includes $7 million related to contingent consideration payable that is not tax deductible until it is earned and paid. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of HSP. The Developed technology is classified as Product Software within Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has not presented separate results of operations or combined pro forma financial information of the Company and the acquired interests because the results of operations of the acquired business are considered immaterial.

Note 7 – 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. Also included in Restructuring and related costs are incremental, non-recurring costs related to the consolidation of the Company's data centers, which totaled $0 million and $18 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Management continues to evaluate the Company's business, and in the future, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives and/or changes in previously recorded estimates as payments are made, or actions are completed.

Costs associated with restructuring, including employee severance and lease termination costs, are generally recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally upon communication to the affected employees or exit from the leased facility. In those geographies where 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.

Note 9 – 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with gross notional values of $217 million and $167 million, respectively. Approximately 74% of these contracts mature within three months, 10% in three to six months, 12% in six to twelve months and 4% in greater than twelve months. Most of these foreign currency derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, income statement or cash flows for the periods presented.

Refer to Note 10 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company's foreign exchange forward contracts.

Note 10 – 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.

Unless noted herein, the Company's valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value are described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Summary of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

The estimated fair values of our other financial assets and liabilities were as follows:


	September 30, 2019						December 31, 2018
(in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Assets:
Assets held for sale	$	—	$	—	$	15	$	15
Liabilities:
Long-term debt	$	1,468	$	1,434	$	1,512	$	1,463
Liabilities held for sale	$	—	$	—	$	40	$	40

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

The fair value of the Assets held for sale and the Liabilities held for sale were measured based on the sales price less estimated transactions costs (Level 3).

The fair value of Long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities (Level 2).

Note 11 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has post-retirement savings and investment plans in several countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Canada. In many instances, employees from those defined benefit pension plans that have been amended to freeze future service accruals were transitioned to an enhanced defined contribution plan. In these plans, employees are allowed to contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans. Historically, the Company matched a portion of employee contributions. However, beginning in 2019, the Company has suspended its match to the 401(k) plan for all U.S. salaried employees.

The Company recognized an expense related to its defined contribution plans of $2 million and $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $7 million and $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a result of suspending 401(k) match for U.S. employees as indicated above, there was a $3 million and a $9 million reduction in expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Note 13 – Contingencies and Litigation

As more fully discussed below, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; employment law; commercial and contracts law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and other laws, regulations and matters. 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 September 30, 2019. 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 September 30, 2019, 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 alleged that Conduent State Healthcare LLC (f/k/a Xerox State Healthcare, LLC and ACS State Healthcare) (“CSH”), Conduent Business Services LLC (“CBS”) and Conduent Incorporated (“CI”) (collectively, CSH, CBS and CI are referred to herein as the "Conduent Defendants") and Xerox Corporation (together with the Conduent Defendants, the “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 Action”). In February 2019 a settlement agreement and release was reached among the Defendants, the State and HHSC which was amended in May 2019 ("Texas Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Texas Agreement, the Conduent Defendants were required to pay the State of Texas $236 million, of which $118 million was paid in 2019 with a balance of $118 million due in January 2020, which is fully reserved. The Company provided bank issued letters of credit to the State in the amount of $118 million to secure the payment due in January 2020 which will be released on the 91st day following the Company’s payment. The case has been dismissed with prejudice with a full release and discharge of the Defendants.

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”), which was 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 as to Buck only, and only with respect to Plaintiffs' claim of aiding and abetting StanCERA in breaching its fiduciary duty. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of parallel litigation the plaintiffs are pursuing against StanCERA. The parallel litigation was tried before the bench in June 2018, and on January 24, 2019, the court found in favor of StanCERA, holding that it had not breached its fiduciary duty to plaintiffs. On April 26, 2019, Plaintiffs in the parallel litigation filed an appeal. Nasrawi remains stayed until the parallel litigation is finally concluded. Absent the court finding that StanCERA breached its fiduciary duty, plaintiffs’ claim against Buck for aiding and abetting said breach would not appear viable. Buck will continue to aggressively defend these lawsuits. In August 2018, Conduent sold Buck Consultants, LLC; however, the Company retained this liability after the sale. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in excess of currently recorded reserves.

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 Medicaid Management Information Systems. In the lawsuit, Conduent seeks damages in excess of $150 million. 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. Conduent also alleges that it terminated the Contract for cause, because, among other things, Cognizant violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Cognizant asserted two counterclaims for breach of contract seeking recovery of damages in excess of $47 million, which includes amounts alleged not paid to Cognizant under the contract and an alleged $25 million for termination fees. Conduent has responded to Cognizant’s counterclaims by denying the allegations. Cognizant filed a second amended counterclaim seeking an additional $43 million to satisfy the minimum revenue commitment attributable to the years 2017-2020, which increased Cognizant's damages claim to $90 million. Based on Conduent's breach of contract and termination for cause claims, Conduent does not believe that it has any obligations to Cognizant under the Contract to pay the minimum revenue commitment penalty. 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

Since 2014, Xerox Education Services, Inc. ("XES") has cooperated with several federal and state agencies regarding a variety of matters, including XES' self-disclosure to the U.S. Department of Education (the "Department") and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") that some third-party student loans under outsourcing arrangements for various financial institutions required adjustments. With the exception of an inquiry the Illinois Attorney General's Office recently commenced, the Company has resolved the investigations the CFPB and several state agencies commenced and continues to work with the Department and the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve all outstanding issues, including a number of operational projects that XES discovered and disclosed since 2014. The Company cannot provide assurance that the CFPB, another regulator, a financial institution on behalf of which the Company serviced third-party student loans, or another 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 matters, should any such matter be commenced, or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimates of any loss in excess of current reserves. The Company could, in future periods, incur judgments or enter into settlements to resolve these potential matters 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 Government Services and Transportation segments, require the Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $564 million of outstanding surety bonds used to secure its performance of contractual obligations with its clients and $229 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.

Note 17 – Goodwill

In the first quarter of 2019, the Transportation reporting unit experienced unanticipated losses of certain customer contracts, lower than expected new customer contracts and higher costs of delivery (all subsequent to February 2019), and as a result, the growth of this reporting unit decreased resulting in its fair value being below its carrying value by an estimated $284 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $284 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

In the second quarter of 2019, there were further unanticipated losses of certain customer contracts, lower potential future volumes and lower than expected new customer contracts (all subsequent to May 9, 2019). This led to actual results being below budget and a further downward revision of the long-term forecast across all the Company's reporting units (Financial Services & Healthcare, Consumer & Industrial, Europe (together comprising Commercial Industries), Government Services, and Transportation). As a consequence of the business performance and the strategy pivot due to changes in management that occurred in the second quarter of 2019, the Company lowered its sales outlook, average margin expectation for the future years, and increased its weighted average cost of capital.

Based upon the information identified in the second quarter of 2019, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for all its reporting units which resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The cumulative impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.4 billion.

Table of Contents

Revenue

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the impact from divestitures completed in 2018 and 2019, pricing pressure, contract losses and currency fluctuations. Partially offsetting these declines were increases from the ramp of new business.

Cost of Services (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Cost of services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased, compared to the prior year periods, mainly driven by divestitures completed in 2018 and 2019, 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 and lower volumes.

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

Lower SG&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year periods, was reflective of the impact of our strategic transformation initiatives, primarily due to reductions in labor costs, including reductions in 401(k) costs, other variable compensation costs, sub-contracting and negotiated IT contract costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the HSP acquisition and increased capitalized software amortization for new projects placed in service.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the divestitures in 2018, partially offset by the HSP acquisition and increased capitalized software amortization for new projects placed in service. Refer to Note 6 – Business Acquisition to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the HSP acquisition.

Restructuring and Related Costs

Restructuring and related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 include $1 million of severance costs and $7 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint.

Restructuring and related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include $17 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions worldwide, $18 million of costs related to data center migration, $13 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint, and $2 million of strategic transformation costs.

Restructuring and related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2018 include $11 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions worldwide and $21 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint.

Restructuring and related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 include $30 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions worldwide and $38 million of lease cancellation and other costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint.

Management continues to evaluate the Company's business, and in the future, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives and/or changes in previously recorded estimates as payments are made, or actions are completed.

Refer to Note 7 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense represents interest on long-term debt and the amortization of debt issuance costs. Decreases in Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year periods, were driven primarily by lower average debt balances resulting mostly from the tender offer in 2018 and repricing. Refer to Note 8 – Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Goodwill Impairment

The goodwill impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the write-down of the carrying values of the Financial Services & Healthcare (FS&H), Consumer & Industrial (C&I), Europe, Government Services and Transportation reporting units. Refer to Note 17 – Goodwill to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A – Critical Accounting Policies – Goodwill for additional information regarding these impairment charges.

(Gain) Loss on Divestitures and Transaction Costs

The three months ended September 30, 2019, was related to a loss on sale of assets and transaction costs. The nine months ended September 30, 2019, consists of $5 million of changes in estimates related to losses on divestitures, $2 million related to a loss on sale of assets and $12 million of transaction and related costs, $4 million of which relates to costs to remediate Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards compliance issues related to the sale of select standalone customer care contracts to Skyview Capital LLC.

Litigation Costs (Recoveries), Net

Net litigation costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, consist primarily of the recognition of the $13 million discount on the fair value of the Texas litigation liability established in 2018 due to the acceleration of the settlement in 2019. The prior year period expenses were primarily due to the increases in reserves for the Texas litigation and establishment of reserves for the Cognizant terminated contracts.

Refer to Note 13 – Contingencies and Litigation to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was (14.3)%, compared to 6.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The September 30, 2019 rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to pre-tax loss and tax from the geographic mix of income and the inclusion of Global Intangible Low Tax Income (GILTI). The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to tax impacts from the divestitures.

Excluding the impact of the divestitures, amortization and restructuring, the normalized effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 28.8%. The normalized effective tax rate of 25.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was predominantly impacted by the exclusion of the divestitures, the Texas litigation reserve, the loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and divestiture related costs.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 8.0%, compared to (9.5)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The September 30, 2019 rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge being partially non-deductible for tax and the geographic mix of income, partially offset by U.S. federal tax credits and tax benefits recognized on the sale of a portfolio of select standalone customer care contracts to Skyview Capital LLC. The September 30, 2018 rate was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to pre-tax loss and tax from the divestitures, partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits.


						CNDT Q3 2019 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents

Excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment, divestitures, the Texas litigation reserve, amortization and restructuring, the normalized effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 31.3%. The normalized effective tax rate of 23.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was predominantly impacted by the exclusion of divestitures, the Texas litigation reserve, the loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and divestiture related costs.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $13 million will reverse within 12 months due to an anticipated audit settlement.

Operations Review of Segment Revenue and Profit

Our financial performance is based on Segment Profit / (Loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the following three segments:

•Commercial Industries,

•Government Services, and

•Transportation.

Other includes our divestitures and our Student Loan business, which the Company exited in the third quarter of 2018.

We are modernizing a significant portion of our information technology infrastructure with new systems and processes and consolidating our data centers as part of our transformation initiatives. We expect that these changes will provide greater strategic and operational flexibility and efficiency and better control of our systems and processes. Based on our continuing review of our cybersecurity, we are making additional investments to enhance our cybersecurity protection. There is a risk, however, that our modernization efforts and data center consolidations could materially and adversely disrupt our operations. See Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information.

___________

(1)Recurring revenue signings are current period revenue for new business contracts longer than one year.

(2)Non-recurring revenue signings are for contracts shorter than one year.

Signings for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased, compared to the prior year period, mainly due increased renewals, partially offset by decreased new business due to sales headcount challenges and a continued focus on strategic wins with acceptable margins.

Signings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased, compared to the prior year period, mainly due to sales headcount challenges and a continued focus on strategic wins with acceptable margins, longer lead times and delays in signings.

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 months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 93% and 90%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 83% and 96%, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies - Goodwill

In the second quarter of 2019, there were further unanticipated losses of certain customer contracts, lower potential future volumes and lower than expected new customer contracts (all subsequent to May 9, 2019). This led to actual results being below budget and a further downward revision of the long-term forecast across all the Company’s reporting units (FS&H, C&I, Europe, Government Services, and Transportation). As a consequence of the business performance and the strategy pivot due to changes in management that occurred in the second quarter of 2019, we lowered our sales outlook, average margin expectation for the future years, and increased our weighted average cost of capital.

The table below summarizes key factors (by reporting unit) impacting our revised forecast within the second quarter of 2019 goodwill assessment.

Key Factors

FS&H

C&I

Europe

Government Services

Transportation

Lower anticipated new business

Potential higher than anticipated contract losses

Potential volume pressures

Strategic pivot

Based upon the information identified in the second quarter of 2019, we performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for all our reporting units which resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The cumulative impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.4 billion. There was no impairment identified in the third quarter of 2019 for any of our reporting units.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, total cash and cash equivalents were $228 million and $756 million, respectively. The Company also has a $750 million revolving line of credit for its various cash needs, of which $79 million has been utilized for letters of credit.

In February 2019 a settlement agreement and release was reached among the Company, the State of Texas ("State") and the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which was amended in May 2019 ("Texas Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Texas Agreement, the Company was required to pay the State $236 million, of which $118 million was paid in 2019 with a balance of $118 million due in January 2020, which is fully reserved. The Company provided bank issued letters of credit to the State in the amount of $118 million to secure the payment due in January 2020 which will be released on the 91st day following the Company’s payment. The case has been dismissed with prejudice with a full release and discharge of the Company.

As of September 30, 2019, there were $1.5 billion outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement of which $50 million was due within one year. Refer to Note 8 – Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional debt information.

We expect our operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and financing activities to be sufficient to fund expected operating and anticipated capital and other funding requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flow Analysis

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


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)	2019		2018		Better (Worse)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(216)	$	30	$	(246)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(253)	$	534	(787)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(60)	$	(627)	567

Operating activities

Net increase in cash used in operating activities of $246 million was primarily related to $131 million in payments for the Texas and other litigation and higher accounts payable payments of $136 million due to timing.

Investing activities

The increase in cash used in investing activities of $787 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the absence of the proceeds from divestitures and assets sales in 2018, acquisition of HSP and increased spending for capital expenditures related to modernizing our information technology infrastructure for both customer-facing and internal functions in 2019.

Financing activities

The decrease in cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year period, was related to lower debt payments.

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. We may utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We also may hedge the cost to fund material non-dollar entities by buying currencies periodically in advance of the funding date. This is accounted for using derivative accounting.

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 9 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Although the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did implement changes to our internal controls related to the implementation of the new lease accounting standard. These changes included performing a comprehensive lease scoping analysis to identify, disaggregate and evaluate each of our lease categories and implementing a new information technology application to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities values for our leases. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
