The separation was completed by way of a pro rata distribution of Conduent Incorporated shares held by Xerox to Xerox’s shareholders.unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility.

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, 2019. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to December 31, 2019 that were applicable and material to the Company.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted


Revenue Recognition: Credit Losses:In May 2014,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognitionmeasurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to clarifybe presented at the principles for recognizing revenue and replaces 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 promised goods or services are transferred to customers in annet amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be receivedcollected. The guidance replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model referred to as current expected credit loss (CECL). The CECL model requires us to measure lifetime expected credit losses for those goods or services.financial instruments held at the reporting date using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The updated guidance alsoexpands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires additional qualitative and quantitativenew disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers largely on a disaggregated basis. We continue to evaluate the adoption impact of the updated accounting guidance on ouramortized cost balance for each class of financial statements, disclosures and internal controls. However, we do expect thatasset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the new guidance could impact (1) the timingyear of revenue recognition associated with certain contract modifications; (2) revenue associated with postage recognized on a net basis versus the current gross treatment, (3) certain volume discounts, and (4) timing of the amortization of contract acquisition costs. We will adopt this updated accounting guidance beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method under which we will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption supplemented with disclosures.

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.origination. This updated guidance is effective for usfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new credit loss guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted

Income Taxes:In December 2019, the FASB issued an updated accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. This updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019, with early2021. Early adoption is permitted. 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. We areThe Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated accountingnew guidance on ourits consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows:
Reference Rate Reform:In November 2016March 2020, the FASB issued an updated guidance relating to the accounting for the discontinuation of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), referred to as the reference rate reform. This guidance regardingprovides practical expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Specifically, this update requiresreference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This guidance is applicable to contract modifications that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents shouldreplace a reference LIBOR rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments may be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. At September 30, 2017 andapplied through December 31, 2016, we had $25 million and $22 million of restricted cash, respectively, reported in other current assets. This update2022. The Company is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018.
Business Combinations: In January 2017, the FASB issued clarifying accounting guidance related to the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This update is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The amendment in this update will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoptionnew guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

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 Company expects to recognize approximately 66% of this clarifying accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.revenue over the next two years and the remainder thereafter.


Accounting Standards Implemented
Goodwill: In January 2017, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance for simplifying the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance an entity does not have to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired in a business combination. Instead the goodwill impairment test will compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize as an impairment charge any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We have elected to early adopt this new guidance for our goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. Adoption did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Due to the first quarter 2017 change in segments, we were required to test Goodwill for impairment. As a result of the impairment test, the fair value of both the Commercial Industries and Public Sector reporting units exceeded their carrying values. To the extent the assumptions underlying the goodwill impairment test change, there could be additional impairments in the future.

No interim goodwill impairment trigger was identified as there was no significant change in the assumptions underlying the impairment test, including profitability in each of the reporting units.

Unbilled amounts include amounts associated with percentage-of-completion accounting and other earned revenues not currently billable due to contractual provisions. Amounts to be invoiced in the subsequent months for current services provided are included in amounts billable, and at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were approximately $418 million and $429 million, respectively.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon customer payment history and current creditworthiness. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivables is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience, as well as consideration of current economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends.

In the first quarter 2017 we settled a customer dispute over an aged accounts receivable balance for $19 million. We applied $5 million of the proceeds to net accounts receivable and a $14 million gain was recorded as follows:
$7 million to discontinued operations as a portion of the receivable was related to a business that was part of our Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) discontinued operation; and
$7 million to continuing operations as the remainder of the receivable was related to our continuing Healthcare Provider business; the majority of the $7 million is reflected in legal settlements in Other (income) expense, net.

We also recorded $8 million of costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily related to professional support services
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 implementationaffected 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 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 based 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 13 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Summary of Financial Assets and Liabilities Accounted for at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

(1)In September 2017, the Company terminated the legacy deferred compensation plans (“Plans”) and the Company Owned Life Insurance (COLI), which held the Plans’ investments. As a result, the Company sold the Plans’ investments and has approximately $141 million of cash, of which $25 million is overfunded. The only impact to the income statement is a $19 million tax expense that resulted from the fair market value of the sold investments exceeding the Plans’ tax basis. The Company will make payments to Plan participants of approximately $15 million and $101 million in the fourth quarters of 2017 and 2018, respectively.

We utilize the income approach to measure the fair value for our derivative assets and liabilities. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and forward prices.
Summary of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Accounted at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The estimated fair values of our other financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

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

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

The fair value of the contingent consideration payable related to the HSP acquisition was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model and calibrated to management’s financial projections of the acquired business. The value of the contingent consideration payable is then estimated to be the arithmetic average of all simulation paths, discounted to the valuation date (Level 3). The changes in the fair value are recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Note 9 – Employee Benefit Plans
We
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 ourits defined contribution plans of $8$1 million and $10$3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016, respectively, and $27 million and $28 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2019, respectively.


Note 10 - Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30 2017, increased $16 million ($17 million net of tax) and $57 million ($58 million net of tax), respectively, from the prior year periods. The increase primarily reflects gains from translation adjustments.

We assess ourThe Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing ourits litigation, regulatory and regulatoryother matters using available information. We develop our viewsThe Company develops its view on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling ourits 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 ourthe 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 theyin excess of any accrual for such matter or matters, this could have a material adverse effect on ourthe 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 and, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020.

Additionally, guarantees, indemnifications and claims arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with suppliers, customers and nonconsolidatednon-consolidated affiliates when we undertakethe 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, 2017, we haveMarch 31, 2020, the Company had accrued ourits estimate of liability incurred under ourits indemnification arrangements and guarantees.

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.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. This case 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 (“CBS”) 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 CBS and Cognizant, as amended and supplemented (the “Contract”). The Contract contains certain minimum purchase obligations by CBS 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 CBS under CBS’s contract with the New York Department of Health to provide Medicaid Management Information Systems. In the lawsuit, CBS seeks damages in excess of $150 million. During the first quarter of 2018, CBS provided notice to Cognizant that it was terminating the Contract for cause and recorded in the same period certain charges associated with the termination. CBS also alleges that it terminated the Contract for cause, because, among other things, Cognizant violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Cognizant initially asserted 2 counterclaims for breach of contract seeking recovery of damages in excess of $47 million, which includes amounts allegedly not paid to Cognizant under the Contract and an alleged $25 million termination fee. CBS has responded to Cognizant’s counterclaims by denying the allegations. Cognizant subsequently 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 approximately $90 million. CBS 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 or loss, if any, in excess of currently recorded reserves.

Other Matters
On January 5, 2016,
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 (the "CFPB"("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. This notice stems from an inquiry that commenced in 2014 when XES received and responded to a Civil Investigative Demand containing a broad request for information. During this process, XES self-disclosed to the Department of Education 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 ofsome third-party student loans under outsourcing arrangements for various financial institutions. Theinstitutions required adjustments. With the exception of an inquiry the Illinois Attorney General's Office commenced in September 2019, the Company has resolved the investigations the CFPB and the Department of Education, as well as certain states' attorney general offices and other regulatoryseveral state agencies began similar reviews. XES has cooperatedcommenced and continues to fully cooperatework with the Department and the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve all regulatory agencies,outstanding issues, including a number of operational projects that XES discovered and XES has submitted its NORA response. Wedisclosed 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 this matter norwhich fines, penalties or other liabilities are wesought from XES. Nor is the Company able to predict the likely outcome of the investigations into this matter. Wethese 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 connection with this matterexcess of current reserves and there could be a material adverse effect on ourthe 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 our Public Sector segment,the Company's Government Services and Transportation segments, require usthe Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of September 30, 2017, weMarch 31, 2020, the Company had $570$591 million of outstanding surety bonds used to secure ourits performance of contractual obligations with ourits clients and we had $238$210 million of outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees usedissued to secure ourthe Company's performance of contractual obligations to ourits clients as well as other corporate obligations.
In general, wethe Company would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in ourthe Company's performance of ourits obligations under each contract; the probability of which we believe is remote. We believe we havecontract. The Company believes it has sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from ourits cash flow and ourits various credit arrangements including those with our former parent,(including its Revolver) to allow usit to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.

Conduent Form 10-Q

We have service arrangements where we service third-party student loans in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various financial institutions. We service these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by us to a third-party. At September 30, 2017, we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 0.8 million loans with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $12.8 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and the loans repackaged for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon management’s analysis of the historical performance of the defaulted loans. As of September 30, 2017, other current liabilities include reserves of approximately $1 million for losses on defaulted loans purchased which we believe 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.

After evaluating and weighing all relevant events and circumstances, we entered into Amendment No. 2 (Repricing Amendment)concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair values of any of our reporting units were less than their carrying values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for any of our reporting units.

Critical Accounting Policies

COVID-19 Outbreak

The Company is experiencing disruptions to its business, costs, operations, supply chain, and exceededcustomer demand for its services and solutions due to the rapid and widening spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we experienced some benefits, mainly increases in certain government subsidy programs such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Unemployment Insurance, these were more than offset with declines in retail call volumes, large banking client volume declines in transaction processing, interest rate exposure in our target rangeBenefitWallet business, declines in child support and Medicaid volumes, transit solutions and curbside management solutions volume, among other challenges. We expect similar challenges and potential declines in volume ahead of 85%-90%. Excluding these strategicus, but we also have some offsetting factors such as leveraging automation, focusing on temporary and long-term cost solutions through re-engineering our operating model and leveraging our work-from-home infrastructure.

The Company also continues to monitor the potential impact on the carrying values of certain assets. These foregoing factors and other factors, which may worsen, can be expected to have a material adverse impact on our business, operations, financial results and capital resources. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us is highly uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, additional or modified government actions, renewals would have been approximately 95%new information that will emerge concerning the severity and 83%impact of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain COVID-19 or address its impact in the short and long term, among others. We do not yet know and cannot predict the full extent of potential impacts on our business, our services and business offerings or our operating results, financial condition and cash flow. Management uses significant judgment in determining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial results for the threecurrent period and nine months ended September 30, 2017 .for any future periods. Changes in management's assumptions and judgment relating to the impact of COVID-19 could significantly affect the amounts disclosed in the MD&A – Financial Review of Operations and the MD&A – Operations Review of Segment Revenue and Profit, as the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refer to Note 6 - Debt, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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. TheseWe may utilize 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. 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 and economic 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. GAAP. In addition, we have discussed our results using certain non-GAAP measures.

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 to how management reviews and evaluates our business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures are among 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 these non-GAAP measures.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided below.

These reconciliations also include the income tax effects for our non-GAAP performance measures in total, to the extent applicable. The income tax effects are calculated under the same accounting principles as applied to our reported pre-tax performance measures under ASC 740, which employs an annual effective tax rate method. The noted income tax effect for our non-GAAP performance measures is effectively the difference in income taxes for reported and adjusted pre-tax income calculated under the annual effective tax rate method. The tax effect of the

Conduent Form 10-Q
24



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.

Constant Currency

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “constant currency.” Currency impact is the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin
We make adjustments to Pre-Tax Income (Loss) for the following items for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin.
Amortization of intangible assets. The amortization of intangible assets is driven by acquisition activity, which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry from period to period.
Restructuring and related costs. Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our strategic transformation program.
Separation costs. Separation costs are expenses incurred in connection with the 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.
Interest expense. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs and related party interest.
Other (income) expenses net. Other (income) expenses, net includes currency (gains) losses, net, litigation matters and all other (income) expenses, net.
NY MMIS (2017 only). Costs associated with the company not fully completing the State of New York Health Enterprise Platform project.
HE charge (2017 only). Costs associated with not fully completing the Health Enterprise Medical Platform implementation projects in California and Montana.
(Gain) loss on sale of asset and businesses.

We provide our investors with adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin information, as supplemental information, because we believe it offers added insight, by itself and for comparability between periods, by adjusting for certain non-cash items as well as certain other identified items which we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing business, and may also provide added insight on trends in our ongoing business.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
We make 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:
Amortization of intangible assets.
Restructuring and related costs.
Separation costs.
Other (income) expenses, net.
NY MMIS (2017 only).
HE charge (2017 only).
(Gain) loss on sale of asset and businesses.

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.

ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS

Reference is made to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 20162019 Annual Report. There have been no material changesReport on Form 10-K. Below are additions to our risk factors as previously reported in our 20162019 Annual Report.Report on Form 10-K.


Supplemental Risk Factor

In light of recent developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020, to include the following risk factor:

Our business has been and will continue to be negatively impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Beginning in late 2019, the outbreak of a novel strain of virus named SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), or coronavirus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, has evolved into a global pandemic and has spread to most regions of the world.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced and can be expected to continue to experience disruptions to our business, our operations, the delivery of our services and customer demand for our services and business offerings, including:

Social distancing, shelter-in-place and stay-at-home requirements and guidance of national, regional, state and local governments have required that substantial services being performed by us for our customers be shifted to work-from-home alternatives, which have created added burdens, risks and costs, including but not limited to: the added cost and uncertainty created by a significant change in our delivery model; delays and disruptions resulting from organizing and implementing work-from-home solutions, particularly in our lower cost geographies, such as India and the Philippines, which have not in the past generally permitted or accommodated work-from-home alternatives; customer protocols not allowing, without express customer waiver or permission, work-from-home alternatives, due to sensitivity of customer data, inclusion of personally identifiable information, cybersecurity and data security concerns, and other factors; delays and disruptions in providing customer services which may adversely affect our reputation and may in the future result in failure to satisfy customer contract requirements and other noncompliance issues; challenges in and cost of equipping work-from-home solutions with appropriate technology equipment and software, with suitable security protections; potential for increased cybersecurity and other data security issues; compliance with legal, regulatory, industry and customer standards and specifications; and increased logistical issues resulting from unexpected shift in service delivery model. As a result of these and other factors related to work-from-home solutions, we have experienced and can be expected to continue to experience delays and disruptions and an adverse impact on our business, operations, costs, satisfaction of customer requirements and operating results and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may be expected to continue to adversely impact customer demand for our services and business offerings. Many of our customers have experienced and will continue to experience substantial disruption in their own operations. In addition, many of our governmental and non-governmental customers have been allocating resources and management attention away from the ordinary conduct of their business and toward responding to COVID-19 related emergent events. Our sales and marketing personnel are also largely required to perform their services via virtual or other telecommunication alternatives, rather than in-person interactions. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in greater customer uncertainty in their short-term and longer-term needs. In addition, under certain contracts we earn revenues based on the number of transactions processed, such as, for example, certain transportation and credit card processing arrangements where the number of transactions has decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These and other pandemic-related factors have and will continue to adversely impact revenues, sales, new business opportunities, pricing and our sales pipeline.

Further, our management has been focused on mitigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has required and will continue to require a substantial investment of time and resources across our enterprise. This has resulted and can be expected to continue to result in a diversion of management attention, resources and previously planned investments away from strategic, transformational and technology initiatives which had been intended to improve customer demand, new business opportunities, business retention, service delivery, potential divestitures or acquisitions, and the overall profitability of our business and we cannot predict how long this may continue.

Our government contracts are often subject to a government entity’s right to change the scope of work or to terminate their project for funding reasons or at their convenience. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its current and future impact on governments, budgets and resources, we may experience government contracts’ reductions or terminations.

We are a leading provider of business processing services concentrated on transaction-intensive processing including financial transactions. If we fail to satisfy a customer’s requirements or specifications, we could incur additional costs to address such dissatisfaction or on account of such deficiency as well as receive notice of termination. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and can be expected to continue to have an impact on compliance and non-interruption of service under certain customer contractual requirements, and certain customer relationships can be expected to be adversely impacted, in addition to our incurring added costs in response to any deficiency.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the operations, financial results and finances of many of our customers, which could impact customer payment cycles and payments due from customers.

We rely on third parties to provide technology, other services and products we need to operate our business. Delays or interruption in the operations of third parties on which we rely may result in disruptions in our own operations and fulfillment of our customers’ requirements.

The economic downturn could also result in the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets exceeding their fair value, which could require us to recognize further asset impairment.

We also cannot predict the impact of remote working arrangements on our internal systems and normal administrative services.

To the extent we draw under our credit facility, our debt would increase. Such increase in our level of debt could adversely affect our financial results or ability to incur additional debt and could negatively impact our credit ratings. In addition, as a result of the risks described above, we may be required to raise additional debt or equity financing, and our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects, our credit ratings, and the outlook for our industry as a whole. If, as a result of COVID-19, credit agencies downgrade our credit ratings, or general market conditions were to ascribe higher risk to our credit rating levels, our access to capital and cost of debt financing may be negatively impacted and certain of our existing commercial agreements may require us to post collateral; the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could also negatively impact our compliance with our financial covenants under our credit facilities. In addition, the terms of future debt agreements could include more restrictive covenants.

The trading prices for our common shares and the securities of other companies in our industry have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect the financial markets, the value of our common shares and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing on favorable or acceptable terms.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, and additional material impacts and disruptions are likely to occur. These and other factors, which may worsen, can be expected to have a material adverse impact on our business, operations, financial results and capital resources. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us is highly uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, additional or modified government actions, new information that will emerge concerning the severity and impact of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain COVID-19 or address its impact in the short and long term, among others. We do not yet know and cannot predict the full extent of potential impacts on our business, our services and business offerings or our operating results and financial condition.

Please also refer to the complete Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020 for additional risks and uncertainties facing the Company, any of which risks and uncertainties can be expected to be further heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and capital resources.
