FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Aug. 10, 2026 — Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business process solutions and services company, today announced its second quarter 2026 financial results.
Harsha V. Agadi, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Six months into our transformation, we are making significant progress against the priorities we established at the beginning of the year. We are simplifying the organization, strengthening financial discipline and taking structural costs out of the business, while making good progress against our approximately $100 million annualized cost-savings program.
We also took significant steps this quarter to reshape our portfolio and sharpen our focus on the markets where we believe Conduent is best positioned to compete and grow. The announced sales of our Transit and Tolling businesses are expected to generate approximately $234 million in gross proceeds, plus a 7% equity interest in the Tolling buyer, exceeding the commitment we made in the first quarter to generate at least $200 million through portfolio actions. We intend to use the majority of these proceeds to reduce debt and further strengthen our balance sheet.”
“At the same time, we are seeing encouraging momentum in our go-to-market execution. Our qualified new business pipeline continues to grow, supported by new wins and expansions across both Commercial and Government. We are also investing in our go-forward portfolio and differentiated technology capabilities, including AI, to help clients modernize complex, mission-critical operations and position Conduent to capture opportunities in the large and growing markets we serve.”
“While our second-quarter financial results do not yet reflect the full impact of the actions underway, we are building a simpler, more focused and higher-performing Conduent. We remain focused on disciplined execution, converting our pipeline into profitable growth, and building a stronger cost structure. I am confident that the actions we are taking today position us to improve financial performance and create sustainable, long-term value for our clients and shareholders.”

Performance Commentary
Cash flow from operating activities improved by $22 million year‑over‑year, primarily due to favorable working capital results, which included, among other things, the effects of the realization of some of our long-term projects in the Government and former Transportation segments.
Q2 2026 pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations was $(57) million versus $(43) million in the prior year period. This unfavorable variance was primarily caused by higher restructuring-related costs in the current year related to our transformation plan.
Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.0% decreased, respectively, versus the prior year, due to lower profitability in our Government segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures from our Continuing Operations only, unless otherwise noted. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related tax effects. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the results of the current period against the corresponding prior period. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Providing such non-GAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as to how management reviews and evaluates our business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” sections attached to this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported U.S. GAAP measures.
