Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin as an additional way of assessing certain aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our on-going business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and contract inducement amortization adjusted for the following items: 

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets. This is driven by acquisition activity, which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period.

•Restructuring and related costs. This includes restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our strategic transformation program.

•Goodwill impairment. This represents goodwill impairment charges arising from annual or interim goodwill testing. 

•(Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs. This represents (gain) loss on divested businesses and transaction costs.

•Litigation settlements (recoveries), net. This represents settlements or recoveries for various matters subject to litigation.

•Loss on extinguishment of debt. This represents write-off of debt issuance costs related to prepayments of debt.

•Direct response costs - cyber event. This represents costs related to investigating, remediating and responding to the cyber event that occurred in January 2025.

•Other charges (credits). This includes Other (income) expenses, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and other adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performance. Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Conduent's definition of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner.
