<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

We offer our clients integrated solutions supporting the entirety of the customer lifecycle; CX and user experience ("UX") strategy and design; analytics and actionable insights; and innovative new approaches to enhancing the customer experience through the latest technological advancements in our industry. We are a leader in the shift from traditional Customer Relationship Management ("CRM"), which is focused on a portion of the customer lifecycle, to CX, which supports the entirety of it. Through our end-to-end capabilities, we deliver better economic outcomes for our clients with solutions designed to meet their unique needs as they navigate a landscape characterized by discerning consumers and new market entrants.

We have strong relationships with companies across the globe and are a partner of choice for industry leaders. We believe in supporting our clients over the long term to build enduring relationships. Our average client tenure for our top 25 clients is approximately 17 years. As of November 30, 2022, we served over 130 Fortune Global 500 clients as well as more than 125 new economy clients. We primarily support clients in verticals with certain characteristics, such as high growth, high transaction volume, high levels of compliance and security, and steep barriers to entry. Our strategic verticals include technology and consumer electronics, retail, travel and ecommerce, communications and media, banking, financial services and insurance, healthcare, and other. Our clients include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 8 of the top 10 consumer electronics companies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 4 of the top 5 tech companies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 6 of the top 10 fintech companies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 5 of the top 5 U.S. banks

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 3 of the top 5 ecommerce companies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 4 of the top 5 U.S. health insurance companies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2 of the top 5 2022 global IPOs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 4 of the top 5 social brands

Through our technology-infused offerings, our clients benefit from having a single resource that enables them to address the entirety of the customer journey from acquisition to support to renewal. Our end-to-end capabilities and broad service offerings help our clients acquire, retain, and improve the lifetime value of their customer relationships while optimizing their back-office processes.

We combine global consistency with local expertise, enhancing the end user experience for our clients' customers through services rendered by a team of approximately 315,000 across approximately 300 locations in more than 40 countries and 6 continents, where we conduct business in over 70 languages.

In July 2022, we completed our acquisition of ServiceSource International, Inc. ("ServiceSource"). ServiceSource is a global outsourced go-to-market services provider, delivering business-to-business ("B2B") digital sales and customer success solutions that complemented our existing offerings in this area.

In December 2021, we completed our acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients' customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded our scale in the digital IT services market and supported our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to our team further strengthened our capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence ("AI"), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

On December 1, 2020, Concentrix and our technology-infused CX solutions business were separated from SYNNEX Corporation, now known as TD SYNNEX Corporation ("TD SYNNEX"), through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (such separation and distribution, the "spin-off"). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of our common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the spin-off, we became an independent public company and our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "CNXC" on December 1, 2020. In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define our ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.

We trace our roots back to 2004 when TD SYNNEX acquired BSA Sales, Inc., a company with 20 employees focused on helping clients through outsourced sales and marketing services. In 2006, TD SYNNEX combined New York-based Concentrix with BSA Sales under the Concentrix name, with the goal of bringing technology and innovation into businesses to help clients reimagine and design the next generation of experiences. Concentrix Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in December 2009.

**Our Market Opportunity**

In order to maintain relevancy, our clients must transform their systems in response to increased competition and consumer demands. To meet the evolving needs of their customers, our clients are looking to large CX solutions providers, such as Concentrix, to automate their systems and provide professional support to address complexities beyond the scope of automation. We are a leader in next-generation CX technology driven by a focus on innovation, which we believe will increase our total addressable market as we enter and grow across new and existing markets.

We offer a unique combination of CX solutions and services at scale. Our suite of integrated solutions include: digital transformation services that design and engineer CX solutions to enable efficient customer self-service and build customer loyalty; customer engagement solutions and services that address the entirety of the customer lifecycle; voice of the customer ("VOC") solutions to gather and analyze customer feedback to foster loyalty to, and growth with, clients; analytics and consulting solutions that synthesize data and provide professional insight to improve clients' customer experience strategies; AI technology that can intelligently act on customer intent to improve customer experience with non-human engagement; vertical business process outsourcing ("BPO") services that provide specialized support to specific industry verticals; and back office BPO services that support clients in non-customer facing areas.

***Industry Trends***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Growing Importance of Customer Experience****.* We believe customer experience has become a strategic imperative for all enterprises today. Data, analytics, and digital solutions have reshaped the ways firms interact with their customers. As a result, enterprises are modernizing how they manage the customer experience across all channels of communication. The market is evolving from customer relationship management solutions that act as a cost cutting measure toward end-to-end CX management solutions that create value throughout the entire customer lifecycle at an appropriate cost.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Empowered Consumers and Users***. The modern consumer is discerning and has come to expect a high level of care and responsiveness from their service providers. Old paradigms have shifted as increasingly competitive markets and easily accessible crowd-sourced information have empowered consumers to unprecedented levels. As consumers demand more and have an increasing number of alternatives, companies must differentiate on how they manage their customer relationships. This shift is driving the market toward consumer-centric solutions that reduce customer churn and promote brand loyalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Technological Innovation***. Emerging technology is driving change within our industry and shaping the demands of our clients. Advancements in areas such as digital services, AI and machine learning ("ML") are further disrupting our markets and our clients' markets while opening new avenues for growth and opportunities for us to better serve our clients. These technologies provide clients the opportunity to interact more effectively with their customers and improve the customer experience by automating processes, optimizing customer journeys to reach faster solutions, enabling personalized engagement across multiple platforms, and focusing human engagement on the most complex interactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Evolving Role of People***. The skill set required of advisors in the CRM and BPO industry is shifting as enterprises place increased importance on CX. Increasing complexity in the voice channel is driving a trend of longer customer engagements requiring CRM and BPO support professionals to have a more robust skill set. The increasing importance of skilled labor in our industry is offset by the transition of low complexity

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

support to online support (self-service), driven by heavy automation and digitization. Despite growth in digital channels, phone conversations currently remain the preferred option for customer services interactions. We believe the human element will continue to be important in our industry, as focus shifts from routine service to "last-mile" support requiring human-touch to deliver a stronger customer experience. In our view, attracting and retaining skilled talent that can adapt to the evolving focus of customer engagements will require a diverse and inclusive workplace that supports staff wellness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Mission Critical Nature of Cybersecurity***. Technological innovation coupled with the proliferation of smart devices and mobile connectivity is generating sensitive data at scale. At the same time, the avenues for access have become numerous, and an increasing number of malicious actors are becoming more sophisticated and active. Data security is paramount in an environment where external intrusion, improper access, or carelessness can compromise customers and businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly expanded the prevalence of CX solutions that rely on remote staff further underscoring the importance of robust data security. Businesses require scalable, industry-leading data protection and security to avoid reputational and operational risks in an environment characterized by the threats and benefits of free-flowing information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Enterprise Preferences Driving Vendor Consolidation***. Enterprises have become increasingly global. As their scope of business increases, enterprises require a partner that can serve their needs by rapidly deploying solutions and new technology consistently across multiple geographies and channels. Enterprises therefore prefer vendors with scale and end-to-end capabilities that can be a one-stop shop and are consolidating existing relationships to vendors with scale to achieve their business objectives and pursue cost savings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Market Fragmentation Driving Industry Consolidation****.* We operate in a fragmented marketplace characterized by numerous vendors offering services across various levels of the value chain. Currently the top 10 players in CX only hold an approximate 32% market share with the remaining market share held by thousands of other vendors. As client preferences continue to evolve in line with enterprise preferences, we anticipate that our market will undergo further consolidation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Existing Solutions Have Many Limitations****.* As executives look to successfully navigate digital transformation and manage their customers' experience across a wider variety of channels, unsophisticated providers and solutions often fail to meet customers' needs. Currently there is a limited set of providers with end-to-end, global offerings of scale in the marketplace. The fragmentation of the market and, for many industries, high regulatory hurdles create additional complexity as most providers are small, niche, or local players. These issues are compounded by a lack of sufficient investment in cybersecurity, creating exposure to regulatory, reputational, and operational risks. These pain points, coupled with the prevalence of providers offering legacy solutions that fail to address the demands of the modern consumer, create an opportunity for large-scale, global CX solutions providers.

**Our CX Solutions and Technology**

Through our strategy, talent and technology, we offer solutions that help our clients enhance the experience for their customers and improve business performance. Our CX solutions encompass our core service offering of Customer Lifecycle Management and three complementary areas: CX/UX Strategy and Design; Digital Transformation; and VOC and Analytics. Through our integrated CX solutions offering, our clients engage us to acquire, support and renew customers, leverage customer feedback and insights to constantly improve business performance, and identify and implement customer-facing and back-office process improvements. We help our clients by creating tools that their customers and employees love to use, enable better customer interactions through real-time sentiment analysis, and integrate multiple customer interactions and touchpoints into one-stop smart mobile applications. We provide these solutions and other complementary services in 70 languages, across 6 continents, from approximately 300 locations in the Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA.

***Customer Lifecycle Management.*** We seek to deliver next-generation customer engagement solutions and services that address the entirety of the customer lifecycle. We offer our clients the means to acquire, support and

renew customers across all channels while minimizing attrition and increasing customer lifetime value. Our Customer Lifecycle Management solutions include services such as customer care, sales support, digital marketing, technical support, digital self-service, content moderation, creative design and content production, and back office services. Customer Lifecycle Management represents our core service offering and a significant majority of the services we provide.

In addition to our Customer Lifecycle Management services, we also provide the complementary services described below, which are provided to clients as integrated solutions with our core service offering:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• CX/UX Strategy and Design****.* We strive to help our clients reimagine what great is, designing next generation CX solutions to exceed customer expectations. Our CX/UX Strategy and Design solutions, including CX strategy, data-driven user design, journey mapping, and multi-platform engineering, enable our clients to create effortless, personalized customer engagements and align business priorities around measurable goals. Through these services, which we expanded with our December 2021 acquisition of PK, we promote a more rapid integration of digital and enabling technologies, providing transformational business services to our clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Digital Transformation****.* We seek to offer cutting edge solutions to reshape how brands better engage with their customers. Our innovative solutions and services are focused on creating disruption to help our clients stay relevant and achieve better business outcomes. Our Digital Transformation solutions include services such as Robotic Process Automation ("RPA") and cognitive automation that automate processes to improve efficiency and accuracy, mobile app development to solve business challenges through new channels of customer engagement, work-at-home and gig platforms that capitalize on a changing and flexible workforce, Interactive Voice Response ("IVR") and natural language understanding solutions that improve outcomes and customer experience with automated responses to verbal interactions, messaging and social platforms that allow clients to engage with customers across myriad platforms, and system integration services. Our December 2021 acquisition of PK added breadth and scale to our digital transformation services, further strengthening our capabilities in CX design and development, AI, intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Voice of the Customer and Analytics****.* ConcentrixCX, our VOC solutions platform, helps turn customer feedback into actionable insights. Our Analytics solutions provide businesses with insight into rapidly changing markets through data, which provides our clients with a competitive edge. Our VOC and Analytics solutions include offerings such as VOC Essentials, our VOC SaaS platform, speech and text insights, sentiment analysis, advanced analytics and real-time reporting.

**Our Competitive Strengths**

We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors and provide us with a competitive advantage:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Market Leader with a Differentiated Brand and Value Proposition***: We strive to have a compelling brand and reputation as a leading provider of solutions and technology that shape the customer experience. We have a differentiated combination of global scale, local reach, technological expertise, end-to-end solution capabilities and full lifecycle services. We are widely recognized as a leading provider of CX solutions and technology, garnering industry attention via 105 industry awards in fiscal year 2022. Third-party researchers have also taken note of our leading global practice with Everest Group Research distinguishing us as a leader for the 7<sup>th</sup> consecutive year in 2022 for our market success, vision and strategy, service focus and capabilities, digital and technological solutions, domain investments, and buyer feedback.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Strong Relationships with a Growing and Diversified Client Base***: We provide CX solutions for more than 1,000 clients worldwide. Leading global companies, including more than 130 Fortune Global 500 brands and more than 125 new economy clients, rely upon our solutions and technology. We serve a wide variety of clients, extending across numerous verticals. Our end-to-end capabilities and global scale have enabled us to build long-lasting relationships with our largest clients spanning approximately 17 years on

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

average. Our commitment to our clients is our primary focus and has generated numerous accolades to date, including 56 client awards in fiscal year 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Extensive Global Presence***: We operate globally in over 40 countries across 6 continents with the ability to conduct business in 70 different languages. We believe we are well-positioned to serve the largest global brands in nearly every market in which they operate. Our global footprint includes a strong presence in emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, which provides an opportunity to grow with our clients in these regions. Our ability to create value for our clients across a global delivery platform has enabled us to be a partner of choice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Continued Investment in Research and Development***: We believe that our investment in technology differentiates us from our competitors. We have provided technology-infused CX solutions for longer than a decade. We have been at the forefront of developing CX solutions and technology that improve the customer experience and will continue to strive for this in the future. Our December 2021 acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company, demonstrates our commitment to being a leader in CX technology and digital transformation.

We have been a leader in our industry in advancements such as conversational virtual assistants, multichannel and augmented CRM, predictive analytics, emotion analytics, cognitive learning and AI and enjoy a first mover advantage. We are also an industry leader in cybersecurity best practices. We believe our strong focus on innovation has enabled us to maximize value for our clients and made it harder for our competitors to compete with us. Due to our size and scale, and the regular implementation of technology as part of our CX solutions, our costs of developing, maintaining and integrating new technologies are not material on a stand-alone basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Track Record of Sustainable Organic Growth***: We have an established track record of long-term organic revenue growth, and we believe we will continue to enjoy sustainable growth while rebalancing our portfolio from acquisitions as a result of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The nature of our offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Substantial switching costs for our clients;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• High net revenue retention rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strong barriers to entry in the CX solutions market; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A large and expanding addressable market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Demonstrated History of Strategic Acquisitions***: We have acquired and integrated more than 15 companies since our inception. We have a demonstrated ability to turn around underutilized assets and maximize their value, which we believe allows us to explore a broader scope of opportunities than our peers. In fiscal year 2022, we acquired PK, which expanded our scale in the digital IT services market and supported our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences, and ServiceSource, which complemented our B2B digital sales and customer success solutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Corporate Culture Committed to Our Clients*' *Success***: Our unified team allows us to deliver consistent and exceptional results. As of November 30, 2022, our team consisted of approximately 315,000 full-time staff globally. We enjoy high staff engagement because of a strong company culture that is fanatical about serving our clients through integrity, with bold and disruptive thought. We strive for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and emphasize staff wellness and mental health. We believe this supportive environment reinforces the commitment of our team, empowers our staff to make an impact on our global community, and drives better customer experiences and improved outcomes for our clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Experienced Management Team***: Our passionate and committed management team is led by industry experts with a deep understanding of our clients' needs. We have a highly talented management team with significant experience in the CX industry, with our senior leadership team having an average of more than 30 years of experience. Through our acquisitions we have benefited from the addition of management talent, who have contributed valuable new perspectives and insights. Under our tenured management team, we have grown our revenue from $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2014 to $6.3 billion in fiscal year 2022, while delivering strong profitability.

**Our Growth Strategy** 

The key elements to our growth strategy are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Expand and Deepen Relationships with Existing Clients***: We have a well-established track record of cross-selling and offering additional solutions and premium services to sustain and grow our relationships with our existing clients. We have historically focused on clients with high transaction volume on a recurring basis, fast growing verticals, and large enterprises, and will continue to do so. We believe our scale, efficiency, and technology generates incremental value for our clients with each process we manage, naturally driving our customers to spend more with us. We believe our focus on technology innovation and responding to our clients' needs positions us for continued growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Relentlessly Innovate and Develop New Digital Services and Solutions***: We have developed innovative solutions for our clients, and we are focused on investing in technology. Investment in CX solutions technologies and digital transformation can enable more effective engagement with customers and improve the customer experience through increased automation, optimize customer journeys to reach faster solutions, enable personalized engagement across multiple platforms, and focus human engagement on the most complex interactions. For these reasons, we believe investments in disruptive technologies, applications, and services, such as our acquisition of PK, will continue to be instrumental in driving better value for our clients and result in increased profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Further Expand into Adjacent Markets***: Our marketplace continues to expand beyond CRM BPO. We see significant opportunity for growth across adjacent markets, and we strengthened our presence in the digital IT services market by acquiring PK. We intend to continue to provide our clients with an integrated offering of solutions that include digital services, VOC solutions, analytics and consulting, AI technology, vertical BPO services and back office BPO services. To further capitalize on new market adjacencies, we have made significant investments across emerging technologies such as RPA, AI, ML, VOC, IVR, and Internet of Things ("IoT"), which we believe will enhance our clients' ability to offer personalized, effective engagement in all customer interactions to increase customer satisfaction and promote brand loyalty. As our industry evolves, we will continue to invest in these new and fast growing markets to further sustain long-term growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Selectively Pursue Strategic Acquisitions***: We have made targeted acquisitions to increase our technology expertise, enter new verticals and geographies, and increase our scale, including the IBM Customer Care Business, Convergys Corporation, PK and ServiceSource. Our market remains highly fragmented and we believe that our acquisition strategy enhances and augments our growth avenues. We intend to continue to evaluate and pursue complementary, value enhancing acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Invest in Emerging Markets***: We have invested in delivery operations in emerging, high-growth markets such as India, China, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. We expect to continue to invest in similar markets to be well-positioned to serve global brands and enable us to grow with our clients in the regions and countries where they are growing.

**Our Customers**

In fiscal year 2022, we served more than 1,000 clients across various verticals and geographies. Our strategic verticals include: technology and consumer electronics, retail, travel and e-commerce, communications and media, banking, financial services and insurance, healthcare and other. We focus on developing long-term, strategic relationships with clients in verticals with certain characteristics, such as high growth, high transaction volume, high levels of compliance and security, and steep barriers to entry.

**Sales and Marketing**

We market our services through a sales force organized by industry vertical and geography. Our efforts may begin in response to our lead generation program, a perceived opportunity, a reference by an existing client, a

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

request for proposal or otherwise. The length of our sales cycle varies depending on the type of services work as well as whether there is an existing relationship with the client.

We have designated client partners or global relationship managers for each of our strategic relationships. The relationship manager is supported by process improvement, quality, transition, finance, human resources, information technology and industry or subject matter expert teams to ensure the best possible solution is provided to our clients.

We also strive to foster relationships between our senior leadership team and our clients' senior management. These "C-level" relationships ensure that both parties are focused on establishing priorities, aligning objectives and driving client value from the top down. High-level executive relationships have been particularly constructive as a means of increasing business from our existing clients. It also provides us with a forum for addressing client concerns. We constantly measure our client satisfaction levels to ensure that we maintain high service levels for each client.

**Our Operations**

We have global delivery capabilities that allow us to scale our operations with people and other resources from around the world, including language fluency, proximity to clients and time-zone advantages. A critical component of this capability is our approximately 300 locations in more than 40 countries throughout the Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Our service delivery centers improve the efficiency of our engagement teams through the reuse of processes, solution designs and infrastructure by leveraging the experience of delivery center professionals. Services are provided from these global locations to customers worldwide in multiple languages. These services are supported by proprietary and third-party technologies to enable efficient and secure customer contact through various channels including voice, chat, web, email, social media and other digital platforms. All of our delivery centers and data centers are subject to annual certifications and attestations that include Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 3.2.1, ISO 27001:2013 and SOC2 Type II. Twenty-eight of our delivery centers around the world are certified to the COPC (Customer Operation Performance Center) Outsource Service Provider standard. For our healthcare clients, we have achieved HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) 9.3 certification. We also maintain a Level 3 CMMI version 1.3 certification for services and development for our major technology development centers globally.

We also have the capability to provide services for our clients through our utilization of remote staff. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly expanded the prevalence of CX solutions that rely on utilization of remote staff, and as of November 30, 2022, more than 40% of our global team was remote. Our SecureCX<sup>TM</sup> platform supports secure remote work environments through digital tools and technology that authenticate the remote advisor, restrict unauthorized personnel and devices, and deliver real-time alerting of attempts to circumvent control.

We operate a globally distributed data processing environment that can seamlessly connect and integrate our service delivery centers with our data centers and points of presence. Our technologically advanced and secured data centers provide availability 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with redundant power and communication feeds and emergency power back-up, and are designed to withstand most natural disasters.

The capacity of our data center and service delivery center operations, our nimble approach to remote staff, and the scalability of our customer management solutions enable us to meet the dynamic and challenging needs of large-scale and rapidly growing companies. By leveraging our scale and efficiencies across our common system platforms, we can provide rapid client-specific enhancements and modifications at competitive costs, which positions us as a value-added provider of customer support products and services.

**International Operations**

Approximately 78% of our revenue is generated by our non-U.S. operations. A key element in our business strategy has been to locate our service delivery centers in markets that are strategic to our client requirements and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

cost beneficial. We have significant operations in the Philippines and India, as well as throughout EMEA and the Americas.

Sales and cost concentrations in international jurisdictions subject us to various risks, including the impact of changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, which in turn can impact reported revenue and cost of revenue.

See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional financial information related to our international and domestic operations.

**Seasonality**

Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients' businesses. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically the highest in our fourth fiscal quarter.

**Information Technology**

We invest in IT systems, infrastructure, automation and security to enhance workforce management and enhance productivity. Our CX delivery centers employ a broad range of technology, including digital switching, intelligent call routing and tracking, proprietary workforce management systems, case management tools, computer telephony integration, interactive voice response and advanced speech recognition, with embedded security. Our innovative use of technology enables us to improve our voice, chat, web and e-mail handling and personnel scheduling, thereby increasing our efficiency and enhancing the quality of the services we deliver to our clients and their customers. We are able to dynamically scale to respond to changes in our clients' business volumes. Additionally, we use technology to collect information for our clients about the customer interactions to support quality of service and improve the customer journey.

To support data security, we have established an integrated risk management framework with practices that are derived from industry standards, including ISO 31000, ISO 27001, HITRUST, PCI DSS and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and data privacy regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). The data security controls from these standards and regulations are evaluated for our risk management framework based on the needs of our business and our clients, the nature of our industry, and applicable regulations.

**Competition**

Our major competitors include core CX solutions competitors, including Majorel Group Luxembourg S.A., Sitel Group, TaskUs Inc., TDCX Inc., Teleperformance S.A., TELUS International, TTEC Holdings, Inc., and Webhelp SAS, other CX solutions competitors that primarily provide complementary services such as consulting and design, IT services, business process services, VOC and analytics, including Accenture plc, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, ExlService Holdings, Inc., Genpact Limited, Medallia, Inc., Qualtrics, LLC, and WNS (Holdings) Limited, and digital IT services competitors, including Endava UK Ltd., EPAM Systems, Inc., Globant S.A. and Thoughtworks Holding, Inc.

In the future, we may face greater competition due to the consolidation of CX solutions providers. Consolidation activity may result in competitors with greater scale, a broader footprint or more attractive pricing than ours. In addition, a client or potential client may choose not to outsource its business, by setting up captive outsourcing operations or performing formerly outsourced services for themselves, or may switch CX solutions providers.

**Human Capital Resources**

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace that attracts and retains exceptional talent. Through ongoing staff development, comprehensive compensation and benefits, and a focus on health, safety and staff wellbeing, we strive to help our team in all aspects of their lives so they can do their best work.

As of November 30, 2022, we had approximately 315,000 full-time staff, of which approximately 60,000 were based in the Americas, approximately 220,000 were based in Asia-Pacific, and approximately 35,000 were based in EMEA. Except for a small portion of our team in certain countries, generally required by local regulations or brought in through acquisitions, our staff are not represented by a labor union, nor are they covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

***Diversity, Equity and Inclusion***

A diverse team, including across background, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and lived experiences, is critical to our success and contributes to a work environment that promotes bold and contrarian thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset. We strive to create an inclusive workplace where people can bring their authentic selves to work. Our staff are encouraged to leverage their personal strengths and experiences to continually innovate and contribute to the development of new ideas and process improvements that drive better customer experiences and improved outcomes for our clients. Our commitment to these principles is set out in our Human Rights Policy, and our Code of Ethical Business Conduct requires all of our staff to adhere to our dedication to an inclusive work environment that fosters respect for all of our team members.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion starts with our highly skilled and diverse board of directors and senior leadership team. More than half of the members of our board of directors and approximately 40% of our senior leadership team are women, and approximately 25% of our board and senior leadership team are ethnic minorities. We offer virtual learning opportunities on diversity, equity and inclusion topics that have been attended by more than 12,000 of our managers. Our team has also opened LGBTQ+, persons with disabilities, women and black professionals staff resource groups to support a diverse and inclusive workplace. In each of the past three years, our Chief Executive Officer, Chris Caldwell, was named one of best CEOs for Women and one of best CEOs for Diversity by Comparably, a workplace culture and compensation website.

***Pay Equity and Total Rewards***

People should be paid for what they do and how they do it, regardless of their gender, race, or other characteristics. To deliver on that commitment, we benchmark and set pay ranges based on market data and consider factors such as a team member's role and experience, the location of their job, and their performance. We also review our compensation practices, both in terms of our overall workforce and individual team members, to ensure our pay is fair and equitable. We have reviewed the compensation of our staff to ensure consistent pay practices by conducting a gender pay equity analysis comparing staff in the same role within a country or location.

We require a uniquely talented workforce and are committed to providing total rewards that are market-competitive and performance based, driving innovation and operational excellence. Our compensation programs, practices, and policies reflect our commitment to reward short- and long-term performance that aligns with and drives long-term stockholder value. Total direct compensation is generally positioned within a competitive range of the market median, with differentiation based on tenure, skills, proficiency, and performance to attract and retain key talent.

***Staff Engagement***

We pride ourselves on being fanatical about our staff. Our company culture emphasizes the satisfaction and well-being of our staff and a diverse, engaged team. We regularly solicit the opinion and views of our staff through a staff satisfaction survey, the results of which inform key initiatives to support engagement and foster retention. The global participation rate for our most recent staff satisfaction survey in 2022 was approximately 86%, and our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

overall positive engagement rating (staff members that gave a satisfaction score of 4 or 5) was approximately 83%. In 2022, we were named as one of the 25 World's Best Workplaces<sup>TM</sup> by Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine, ranking twenty-second.

***Training and Development***

Human capital development underpins our efforts to execute our strategy and continue to deliver exceptional services globally. We invest in staff career growth and provide our team with a wide range of development opportunities, including face-to-face, virtual, social and self-directed learning, mentoring, coaching, and external development. Front-line staff receive continual feedback and reinforcement from supervisors who provide coaching, often in real time, so that staff can more readily apply their training to assist our clients and their customers. In addition, our staff have access to more than 31,000 online courses and 800 learning paths through Concentrix University to develop skills specific to their current roles and promote ongoing career growth.

***Health, Safety and Wellness***

The physical health, financial stability, life balance and mental health of our team is vital to our success. We sponsor a wellness program designed to enhance physical, financial, and mental well-being for all of our staff. Throughout the year, we encourage healthy behaviors through regular communications, educational sessions, voluntary progress tracking, wellness challenges, and other incentives. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken an integrated approach to helping our staff manage their work and personal responsibilities, with a strong focus on mental health. We also successfully transitioned a significant portion of our workforce to a remote working environment and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in our sites to protect the health and safety of our team. We supported access to COVID-19 vaccines for our staff around the world, including providing our staff in the Philippines and India with free COVID-19 vaccines and providing voluntary vaccination programs in the Philippines that were made available to staff family members.

**Sustainability**

We have a responsibility to improve the lives of our people and the health of our planet. In 2020, we began work on a formal Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") program, and we have released annual Sustainability Reports since 2021, our first year as a public company. Our 2022 Sustainability Report updated stakeholders on our progress toward our long-term goals and set higher goals in areas where our progress exceeded our initial expectations. Our ESG program seeks to use our global reach and the strength of our team of approximately 315,000 to further three priorities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Care for the environment to leave it better than we found it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Create a better place for people to work and live in the communities where we operate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Act with integrity and do the right thing.

Our 2022 Sustainability Report outlines our ESG commitments for 2025 and how these commitments align with the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. We will continue to report on our progress with respect to these commitments in future Sustainability Reports.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS** 

*This section discusses the most significant factors that could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider the following risks and the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating our company and our common stock. If any of the risks discussed below occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity could be materially adversely affected and, as a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.* 

*We have grouped these risk factors into three categories:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Risks related to our business and the industry in which we operate;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Risks related to the spin-off; and* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• General risk factors related to ownership of our common stock.* 

**Risks Related to Our Business and Industry**

**We anticipate that our revenue and operating results will fluctuate, which could adversely affect the enterprise value of our Company and the trading value of our common stock.**

Our operating results have fluctuated and will fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic conditions, including: consumer demand, interest rates, inflation and supply chains; the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine and their impact on the global economy; international trade negotiations, such as between the United States and China and between China and India; the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union; U.S. federal government budget disruptions; and market volatility, including as a result of political leadership in certain countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of business activity of our clients, which in turn is affected by the level of economic activity in the industries and markets that they serve and the market acceptance and performance of their products and services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the demand for the CX solutions and technology we provide, as well as other competitive conditions in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of the business acquisitions and dispositions we make, as well as consolidation of our competitors or clients;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we do business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in the exchange rates for the currencies in which we transact.

Although we attempt to control our expense levels, our expenses are based, in part, on anticipated revenue. We may be unable to reduce spending in a timely manner to compensate for an unexpected decrease in revenue. Our future operating results may be below our expectations or those of our public market analysts or investors, which would likely cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

**Cyberattacks or the improper disclosure or control of personal or confidential information could result in liability and harm our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.**

Our business is heavily dependent upon information technology networks and systems. Internal or external attacks on our networks and systems or those of our clients or vendors, including through phishing, password attacks, and ransomware and other malware, could significantly disrupt our operations and impede our ability to provide critical solutions and services to our clients and their customers, subjecting us to liability under our contracts and damaging our reputation. Cybercriminals, including those supported by nation states and organized crime, are

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

well organized and increasingly sophisticated, and we expect they will continue to seek out and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in our and our clients' networks and systems.

We represent our clients in certain critical operations of their business processes such as sales, marketing and customer support and manage large volumes of customer information and confidential data. As a result, our business involves the use, storage, and transmission of information about not only our staff, but also our clients and the customers of our clients. While we take measures to protect the security of, and prevent unauthorized access to, our networks and systems and personal and proprietary information, the security controls for our networks and systems, as well as other security practices we follow, may not prevent improper access to, or disclosure of, personally identifiable or proprietary information. If we fail to adhere to or successfully implement effective internal controls and other processes to protect our networks and systems and the information that we store, our clients experience disruptions in their systems or operations, or the confidentiality of data is compromised by a malicious actor, our client relationships may suffer, and we may face possible legal action. Any failure in protecting networks, systems or information could result in legal liability, monetary penalties, or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**If our staff or contractors fail to adhere to the controls and processes we and our clients have established, we may be subject to financial liability or our client relationships or reputation may suffer, which in turn may adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.**

We depend on our staff and contractors to deliver our services to our clients and adhere to the controls and processes we and our clients have established. Although we believe our controls are effective and we require all staff to be trained on their responsibilities under our Code of Ethical Business Conduct, with a team of approximately 315,000, we cannot prevent all misconduct. When any of our staff or contractors negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our or our client's established controls or processes, whether acting alone or in collusion with other internal or external parties, we could be subject to monetary damages, fines, or criminal prosecution. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information of our clients or our clients' customers or financial loss by our clients or our clients' customers as a result of our staff's negligence, fraud, misappropriation, or unauthorized access to or through our information systems or those we develop for clients could result in negative publicity, loss of clients, legal liability, and damage to our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

**The inability to successfully execute on our digital CX strategy and deliver value for our clients, could harm our client relationships and reputation, which in turn could adversely affect our revenue and our results of operations.** 

Our strategy focuses on being a leading provider of CX solutions and technology. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to acquire, develop and implement services and solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid and continuing changes in technology and offerings to serve the evolving needs of our clients and their customers. We continue to invest in technology and in our digital capabilities to pursue this strategy, including through our acquisition of PK in December 2021. If we are unable to successfully deliver to our clients the differentiated combination of digital CX solutions and services that we believe we offer, or our solutions do not achieve the desired outcomes, our client relationships and reputation may suffer, which could result in a loss of business with existing clients and hinder our ability to engage new clients. We may also incur significant expenses in an effort to keep pace with clients' preferences for technology or to gain a competitive advantage through technological expertise or new technologies. If we cannot offer new technologies as quickly or efficiently as our competitors, or if our competitors develop more cost-effective or client-preferred technologies, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and complete client engagements, which could adversely affect our business.

**If we are unable to retain key personnel, hire and retain staff with the skills and expertise we need, or manage the costs and utilization rate of our staff, our profitability may be negatively impacted and our operations may be disrupted.**

We are dependent in large part on our ability to retain the services of our key senior executives and other technical and industry experts and personnel. With the exception of our Chief Executive Officer and in countries where employment agreements are customary, we generally do not have employment agreements with our executives or staff. We also do not carry "key person" insurance coverage for any of our key executives. We compete for qualified senior management and technical personnel. The loss of, or inability to hire, key executives or qualified staff could inhibit our ability to operate and grow our business successfully.

The success of our operations and the quality of our services are also highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel in all of our global delivery centers. We face competition in hiring, retaining and motivating talented and skilled leaders and staff with domain experience, and we have, at times, struggled to hire sufficient technical talent to meet the demand for our services. Our industry is also characterized by high staff attrition rates. Any increase in our staff turnover rate could increase recruiting and training costs and could decrease operating effectiveness and productivity. Potential labor organizing and works council negotiations in certain of the countries in which we do business could also contribute to rising costs or otherwise disrupt our business.

We generally sign multi-year client contracts with pricing models that are based on prevailing labor costs in the jurisdictions where we perform services. Quickly rising wages during periods of high inflation or changes in laws or governmental regulations related to wages, mandatory time off, severance, healthcare, other staff benefits or other working conditions could increase our costs and limit our ability to adjust in a timely manner. Our profitability is also affected by the utilization rate of our personnel resources. If we are unable to achieve optimum utilization of our personnel resources, we may experience erosion in our profit margin. However, if our utilization is too high, the quality of services provided to our clients may deteriorate and we may also experience higher attrition rates. Rising costs, our inability to manage rising costs, or our inability to adequately motivate our team or utilize our personnel resources efficiently could negatively impact our profitability or disrupt our operations.

**The continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or the widespread outbreak of another communicable disease, a natural disaster or any other public health crisis, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.** 

We could be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the widespread outbreak of another illness or communicable disease, a natural disaster, or any other public health crisis. At its height, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative effect on the global economy, supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. Although the effects of the pandemic during fiscal year 2022 were not as significant as prior years, new variants continued to cause waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe, disrupting operations and contributing to expenses related to support and resources for our staff to care for themselves and their families. The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other outbreaks of communicable diseases on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to our delivery and operations locations, our continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, our clients' acceptance of remote work environments, and the effect on our clients' businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

We also have substantial operations in countries, most notably the Philippines and India, that have experienced severe natural events, such as typhoons, mudslides, and floods, in the recent past. Any natural disaster or extreme weather event in a region where we have operations could severely disrupt the lives of our staff and lead to service interruptions or reduce the quality level of services that we provide. Weather patterns may become more volatile, and extreme weather events may become more frequent or widespread as a result of the potential effects of climate

change. Our disaster recovery plan and business interruption insurance may not provide sufficient recovery to compensate for losses that we may incur.

An extended disruption to the global economy or business operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, another communicable disease, a natural disaster or any other public health crisis, or a regional disruption in an area in which we have significant operations, could materially affect our business, our results of operations, our access to sources of liquidity, the carrying value of our goodwill and intangible assets, and our financial condition.

**Our delivery center activities are located around the world, with a significant concentration in the Philippines, India, China, and Brazil, which may expose us to business risks and disrupt our operations.**

Our operations are based on a global delivery model with client services provided from delivery centers located throughout the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and EMEA, with a significant percentage of our workforce located in the Philippines, India, China, and Brazil. Operating globally subjects us to risks in the countries in which we do business, which may include political and economic instability, armed conflicts, domestic or foreign terrorism, foreign currency volatility, the time and expense required to comply with different laws and regulations, challenges with hiring and retaining adequate staff, inflation, longer payment cycles or difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, and seasonal reductions in business activity. Socio-economic situations that are specific to the Philippines, India, China and Brazil can severely disrupt our operations and impact our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations to our clients. If these countries experience natural disasters, extreme weather events or political unrest, our staff's ability to work may be disrupted, our IT and communication infrastructure may be at risk and the client processes that we manage may be adversely affected. We may also continue to expand our operations internationally to respond to competitive pressure and client and market requirements, which could increase these risks. If we are unable to manage the risks associated with our international operations and expanding such operations, our business could be adversely affected, and our revenue and earnings could decrease.

**We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions or investments in new markets and may encounter risks associated with these activities, which could harm our business and operating results.**

We have in the past pursued, and in the future expect to pursue, acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies and assets in new or existing markets, either within or outside the CX solutions industry, that complement or expand our existing business. In December 2021, we acquired PK, a leading global CX design engineering company for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.6 billion to pursue our strategy of further investing in digital transformation capabilities. In July 2022, we acquired ServiceSource, a global outsourced go-to-market services provider that delivers B2B digital sales and customer success solutions, for aggregate consideration of approximately $142 million.

Our acquisition strategy, including our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource, involves a number of risks, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty in successfully integrating acquired operations, IT and other systems, clients, services, businesses, and staff with our operations on a timely and cost-effective basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risk that the acquired businesses will fail to maintain the quality of services or results of operations that we have historically provided or that we expect from the acquired businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement or consummation of a transaction may have an adverse impact on relationships with third parties, including existing and potential clients, or may negatively affect our brand identity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• loss of key staff of the acquired operations or inability to attract, retain and motivate staff necessary for our expanded operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquired businesses located in regions where we have not historically conducted business may subject us to new operational risks, laws, regulations, staff expectations, customs, and practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty in scaling critical resources and facilities for the business needs of the expanded enterprise;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of our capital and management attention away from operational matters and other business issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase in our expenses and working capital requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the case of acquisitions that we may make outside of the United States, difficulty in operating internationally and over significant geographical distances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other financial risks, such as potential liabilities of the businesses we acquire; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our due diligence process may fail to identify significant issues with the acquired company's service quality, financial disclosures, legal liabilities, accounting practices or internal control deficiencies.

We may incur additional costs and certain redundant expenses in connection with our acquisitions and investments, which may have an adverse impact on our operating margins. Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of additional debt, large asset write-offs, a decrease in future profitability, or future losses. The incurrence of debt in connection with any future acquisitions could restrict our ability to obtain working capital or other financing necessary to operate our business. Our recent and future acquisitions or investments, including our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource, may not be successful, and if we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, our business and operating results could be harmed.

**Our industry is subject to intense competition and dynamic changes in business model, which in turn could cause our operations to suffer.**

The CX solutions industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We believe that the principal competitive factors in this market are breadth and depth of process and domain expertise, service quality, ability to tailor specific solutions to the needs of clients and their customers, the ability to attract, train and retain qualified staff, cybersecurity infrastructure, compliance rigor, global delivery capabilities, pricing, and marketing and sales capabilities. We compete for business with a variety of companies, including in-house operations of existing and potential clients. If our clients place more focus in this area and internalize these operations, the size of the available market for third-party service providers like us could reduce significantly. Similarly, if competitors offer their services at lower prices to gain market share or provide services that gain greater market acceptance than the services we offer or develop, the demand for our services may decrease. Niche providers or new entrants can enter markets by developing new systems or services that could impact our business. The opportunity for new entrants in our industry may expand as digital engagement and offerings increase in importance. New competitors, new strategies by existing competitors or clients, and consolidation among clients or competitors could result in significant market share gain by our competitors, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue.

Some emerging technologies, such as RPA, AI, ML, VOC, IVR, and IoT, may cause an adverse shift in the way certain of our existing business operations are conducted, including by replacing human contacts with automated or self-service options, or by decreasing the size of the available market. We may be unsuccessful at anticipating or responding to new developments on a timely and cost-effective basis, and our use of technology may differ from accepted practices in the marketplace. Certain of our solutions may require lengthy and complex implementations that can be subject to changing client preferences and continuing changes in technology, which can increase costs or adversely affect our business.

**We may have higher than anticipated tax liabilities, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business.** 

Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to the complex and varying tax laws and rules of many countries and have material tax-related contingent liabilities that are difficult to predict or quantify. In preparing our financial statements, we calculate our effective income tax rate based on current tax laws and regulations and our estimated taxable income within each jurisdiction. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by several factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in income before taxes in the countries in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in tax rates or tax laws and regulations, or the implementation or interpretation of such laws and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of tax rates on accounting for acquisitions and dispositions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• issues arising from tax audits or examinations and any related interest or penalties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainty in obtaining tax holiday extensions or the expiration or loss of tax holidays in various jurisdictions.

In the United States, proposed tax law changes could subject us to higher than anticipated tax liabilities, including by increasing the statutory corporate tax rate, imposing a minimum tax on global income, reducing the deduction for global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), eliminating the qualified business asset investment exemption, limiting the deductibility of interest expense, repealing the deduction for foreign-derived intangible income or imposing a surcharge on corporations that employ staff in non-U.S. countries to deliver services to the United States. Any one or more of these changes, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on our effective tax rate and our results of operations. Outside of the United States, proposed tax law changes could subject Concentrix to a global minimum tax on profits, which could result in double taxation and increased tax audit risk due to uncertainty in application.

We report our results of operations based on our determination of the amount of taxes owed in various jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires estimation, judgment and calculations where the ultimate tax determination may not be certain.

We are also subject to tax audits, including with respect to transfer pricing, in the United States and other jurisdictions, and our tax positions may be challenged by tax authorities. There can be no assurance that our current tax provisions will be settled for the amounts accrued, that additional tax exposures will not be identified in the future or that additional tax reserves will not be necessary for any such exposures. Any increase in the amount of taxation incurred as a result of challenges to our tax filing positions could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

**We are subject to uncertainties and rapid variability in demand by our clients, and our client contracts include provisions such as termination for convenience, which could cause fluctuations in our revenue and adversely affect our operating results.**

Our revenue depends, in large part, on the volumes, geographic locations, and types of CX services demanded. The demand for our services can be affected by events outside of our control, including consolidation among our clients, changing marketplace trends, financial challenges faced by our clients, and fluctuations in the use of our clients' products and services. CX solutions can also be provided in different geographies and through different service channels. While we have the capability to provide multi-channel services in countries across the globe, changes in the types of services utilized and the geographic locations where the services are provided can impact our revenue and profitability. There can be no assurance that the current demand for our CX services will continue or grow, that organizations will not elect to perform such services in-house, or that clients will not elect to move CX services to lower-cost or lower-margin geographies or customer contact channels.

Our client contracts typically include provisions that, if triggered, could impact our profitability. For example, many of our contracts may be terminated with limited notice for any reason and, to the extent our clients terminate these contracts, we could experience unexpected fluctuations in our revenue and operating results from period to period. Additionally, some contracts have performance-related bonus or penalty provisions, whereby we receive a bonus if we satisfy certain performance levels or pay a penalty for failing to do so. Such performance-related conditions are based on metrics that measure customer satisfaction and the quality, quantity and efficiency of our handling of the client's customer interactions across multiple channels. Generally, performance-related bonus or penalty provisions account for less than 1% of our annual revenue in the aggregate. However, whether we receive a bonus or are required to pay a penalty changes with performance and may cause fluctuations in our financial results. In addition, our clients may not guarantee a minimum volume; however, we hire staff based on anticipated volumes.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

If we fail to anticipate volumes correctly, our operations and financial results may suffer. A reduction of volume, loss of clients, payment of penalties or inability to terminate any unprofitable contracts could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

**We depend on a limited number of clients for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of business from one or more of these clients could adversely affect our results of operations.**

Our five largest clients collectively represented approximately 26% of our revenue in fiscal year 2022. This client concentration increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our operating results, depending on the seasonal pattern of our top clients' businesses. In addition, our top clients could make greater demands on us with regard to pricing and contractual terms in general.

At any given time, we typically have multiple master service agreements or statements of work with our largest clients. Clients may have the right to terminate such agreements for convenience or may have risk tolerances that limit how much business they retain with a single service provider. While we do not expect all master service agreements and statements of work to terminate at the same time, the loss of significant agreements with one of our largest clients could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition if the lost revenue is not replaced with profitable revenue from that client or other clients.

We often carry significant accounts receivable balances from a limited number of clients that generate a large portion of our revenue. For example, approximately 28% of our accounts receivable balance as of November 30, 2022 was attributable to five clients. A client may become unable or unwilling to timely pay its balance due to a general economic slowdown, economic weakness in its industry or the financial insolvency of its business. While we closely monitor our accounts receivable balances, a client's financial inability or unwillingness, for any reason, to pay a large accounts receivable balance or many clients' inability or unwillingness to pay accounts receivable balances that are large in the aggregate would adversely impact our income and cash flow.

**Rising interest rates increase the cost of our outstanding borrowings and could adversely affect our net income.**

Our outstanding borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and our accounts receivable securitization facility are variable-rate obligations that expose us to interest rate risk. When interest rates increase, our debt service obligations and our interest expense increase even if our outstanding borrowings remain the same. Our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.

**Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our business and operating results.**

We operate in more than 40 countries, and volatility in the value of the currencies used in these countries increases the uncertainty in our revenue and profitability forecasts. While most of our contracts are priced in U.S. dollars, we recognize a substantial amount of revenue under contracts that are denominated in euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and Japanese yen, among other currencies. A significant increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to these currencies may have a material adverse impact on the value of our revenue when translated to U.S. dollars.

Our services are delivered from several delivery centers located around the world, with significant operations in the Philippines and India, as well as throughout EMEA and the Americas. Although our contracts with U.S.-based clients are typically priced in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of our costs to deliver services under these contracts are denominated in the local currency of the country where services are performed. We also have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. As a result, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, could increase the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. A significant decrease in the value

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

of the contractual currency, relative to the currencies where services are provided, could have a material adverse impact on our operating results that are not fully offset by gains realized under the hedging contracts we have in place in certain currencies to limit our potential foreign currency exposure.

**We depend on a variety of communications services and information technology systems and networks, and any failure or increase in the cost of these systems and networks could adversely impact our business and operating results.**

The services we provide to our clients depend on the persistent availability and uncompromised security of our communications, technology and information technology systems. Our business uses a wide variety of technologies to allow us to manage large volumes of data and perform services with staff located around the globe. We deploy leading edge digital transformation capabilities such as AI-based automation bots, omnichannel services and internally-developed and third-party software solutions to enhance customer and staff experience across various technology environments and platforms. We operate an extensive internal voice and data network that links our global sites together in a multi-hub model that enables the rerouting of voice and data across the network, and we rely on multiple public communication channels and telephone, internet, and data services provided by various third parties for connectivity to our clients. Maintenance of, and investment in, this technology is critical to keeping our team productive and the success of our service delivery model.

Any failure in technology, or in our ability to manage or optimize our resources, may impair service quality and have a negative impact on our operations. Failures or significant downtime of our IT or telecommunications systems could prevent us from handling client volume, and frequent or prolonged interruption in our ability to provide services could result in contractual performance penalties, damage to our reputation, and the loss of business from existing and potential clients. Any increase in average waiting time or handling time or a lack of promptness or technical expertise from our staff will negatively impact customer satisfaction and our business. Telephone, internet and data service providers may elect not to renew their contracts with us or increase the cost of such services. If our communications or information technology systems are disrupted or the cost of maintaining those systems increases significantly, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

**Our business is subject to many regulatory requirements, and changes in current regulations or their interpretation and enforcement, or the adoption of new regulations, could significantly increase our cost of doing business.**

Our business is subject to many laws and regulatory requirements in the United States and the other countries in which we operate, covering such matters as: data privacy; labor matters, including immigration and equal employment opportunity (EEO) compliance; the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws; taxation; securities and insider trading; healthcare, including HIPAA compliance; banking; outsourcing; consumer protection, including the method and timing of placing outbound telephone calls and the recording or monitoring of telephone calls; collections activities; insurance claims administration; internal and disclosure control obligations; governmental affairs; and trade restrictions, sanctions and tariffs.

Many of these regulations, including those related to data privacy, labor matters and anti-corruption, change frequently and may conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services. The pace of regulatory change in these areas has accelerated in recent years. The GDPR in Europe, the Data Privacy Act in the Philippines, the California Consumer Privacy Act and other similar laws have resulted, and will continue to result, in increased compliance costs, and the failure to comply with these laws can result in significant monetary penalties. For example, fines of up to 4% of an entity's annual global revenue can be imposed for violations of the GDPR. We expect that the regulatory burden associated with compliance with privacy laws will continue to expand as more jurisdictions adopt privacy laws with different requirements.

Laws and regulatory requirements may also be subject to interpretation, and the transition of a significant portion of our staff to a remote work environment has increased the uncertainty related to the application and interpretation of certain laws and regulations that have historically been applied to onsite work environments. If our interpretation of any laws or regulatory requirements conflicts with positions taken by regulatory agencies or other

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

government bodies in the future, we may be subject to legal liability or be unable to conduct business in the same manner. Violations of any laws and regulations to which we are subject, including failing to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements or work practices, could result in liability for damages, fines, criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and damage to our reputation, and restrictions on our ability to operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, changes in policies or laws of the United States or non-U.S. countries resulting in, among other things, higher taxation, limitations on the ability of companies to utilize offshore outsourcing, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on fund transfers, or the expropriation of private enterprises, could reduce the anticipated benefits of our global operations. Any actions by countries in which we conduct business to reverse policies that encourage international trade or investment could also adversely affect our business.

**Our operations, reputation and results of operations may be damaged through the actions, inactions or vulnerabilities of third parties.**

We depend on a variety of third parties to enable us to deliver services to our clients, including communications services providers, information technology systems and network providers, electric and other utility providers, transportation providers, and recruiting firms. Although we believe we have a rigorous procurement process to evaluate our vendors and service providers, these third parties can damage our reputation or cause financial loss through cybersecurity or data privacy breaches, inadequate information technology infrastructure, insufficient updates to software, non-conformance to servicing standards, or financial distress that interrupts business operations.

Moreover, with an increased reliance on remote staff, we depend on the communications and other service providers necessary for our staff to perform their work from our facilities and their homes. Power or communications failures could interrupt the operations of our facilities or the ability of our staff to work remotely. Natural disasters, severe weather events or labor disputes that disrupt transportation services could limit the ability of our staff to reach our facilities or increase the cost of transportation services that we procure for our staff in certain countries. Any prolonged disruption in the operations of our facilities or the ability of our remote staff to deliver services to our clients and their customers, whether due to technical difficulties, power failures, or any other reason, could cause service interruptions or reduce the quality level of services that we provide and harm our operating results.

**Our results of operations could be adversely affected by litigation and other commitments and contingencies.**

We face risks arising from various unasserted and asserted claims, including, but not limited to, commercial, labor and employment, consumer protection, tax, and patent infringement claims. Certain claims may be structured as class action lawsuits or otherwise allege substantial damages. We may be unable to obtain insurance coverage for certain claims at a reasonable cost, if at all. Unfavorable outcomes in pending or future litigation or the settlement of asserted claims could negatively affect us. Regardless of the outcome, litigation could result in substantial expense and could divert the efforts of our management.

We have developed proprietary IT systems, mobile applications, and cloud-based technology and acquired technologies that play an important role in our business, including through our acquisition of PK. If any claim alleging infringement of intellectual property rights is successful against us and if indemnification is not available or sufficient, we may be required to pay substantial damages to third parties and indemnify our clients for losses arising out of the infringement. In order to continue delivering services to our clients, we may also need to seek and obtain a license of a third party's intellectual property rights. We may be unable to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, which could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we may make certain commitments, including representations, warranties and indemnities relating to current and past operations and divested businesses, and issue guarantees of third-party obligations. The amounts of such commitments can only be estimated, and the actual amounts for which we are responsible may differ materially from our estimates. If we incur liability as a result of any current or future

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

litigation, commitments or contingencies and such liability exceeds any amounts accrued, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

**Our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.**

We have recorded substantial goodwill and amortizable intangible assets as a result of our acquisitions. We review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess whether there has been an impairment in the value of goodwill at least annually. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable include declines in stock price, market capitalization or cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry. We could be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets was determined, negatively impacting our results of operations.

**The terms of our debt arrangements impose significant restrictions on our ability to operate and could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.**

The terms of the agreements under which our indebtedness was incurred may limit or restrict, among other things, our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur additional indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repurchase common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consummate certain asset sales or acquisitions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• merge, consolidate or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.

We are also required to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests under certain of our debt arrangements. Our inability to meet these ratios and tests could result in the acceleration of the repayment of the related debt, termination of the applicable debt arrangement, an increase in our effective cost of funds or the cross-default of other indebtedness. As a result, our ability to operate may be restricted and our ability to respond to business and market conditions may be limited, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

**Our level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences for our business or our financial condition.**

In connection with our acquisition of PK in December 2021, we amended our senior secured credit facility to, among other things, increase our outstanding term loan borrowings to $2.1 billion and increase the revolving loan commitment of the lenders to $1.0 billion. In July 2022, we amended our accounts receivable securitization facility to increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings to up to $500 million. As of November 30, 2022, we had $2.2 billion of indebtedness prior to debt issuance costs, and we may further increase our indebtedness in the future. Our level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences for us and our stockholders, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements, and to grow our business;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting our ability to borrow additional funds as needed, make strategic acquisitions or take advantage of other business opportunities as they arise, or pay cash dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing future debt costs and limiting the future availability of debt financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry.

To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, the risks described above could increase. In addition, our actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Our cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to service our outstanding debt or to repay our outstanding debt as it becomes due, and we may be unable to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, if at all, to service or refinance our debt.

**Borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility bear interest at a variable rate that is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which may have consequences for us that cannot be reasonably predicted and may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.** 

Borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and our accounts receivable securitization facility may bear interest at a rate per annum that, at our election, is based upon SOFR. Although SOFR has been endorsed by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee as its preferred replacement for the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), it remains uncertain whether or when SOFR or other alternative reference rates will be widely accepted by lenders as the replacement for LIBOR. This may, in turn, impact the liquidity of the SOFR loan market, and SOFR itself. Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or market rates, and SOFR over time may bear little or no relation to the historical actual or historical indicative data. Additionally, our senior secured credit facility and our accounts receivable securitization facility include a credit adjustment on SOFR due to LIBOR representing an unsecured lending rate while SOFR represents a secured lending rate. The possible volatility of and uncertainty around SOFR as a LIBOR replacement rate and the applicable credit adjustment could result in higher borrowing costs for us, which would adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Risks Relating to the Spin-Off** 

**As a new public company, our brand identity may not be fully aligned with our service offerings and the value we deliver to our clients, which may adversely affect our ability to grow and attract talented staff.**

As a provider of CX solutions and technology, our brand identity is important to growing our business with new and existing clients and attracting and retaining our people. As a new public company, the Concentrix brand identity may not fully reflect our status as a leading global provider of CX solutions and technology. Moreover, certain of our historical acquisitions of companies continue to affect how our company is viewed today. If prospective and current clients do not associate our company with the high-value CX solutions and technology we believe we offer, we may experience difficulty in winning new business or attracting and retaining talented staff, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our brand identity can also be affected by events outside of our control, including negative publicity associated with our clients' businesses or social media campaigns directed against us or our clients. Responding to such events can distract from our business and increase costs. If the brand identity we are establishing as a new public company is damaged, we could experience increased difficulty in attracting and retaining clients and staff, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

**If the spin-off is determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and our stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.** 

If the spin-off fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, TD SYNNEX would be subject to tax as if it had sold our common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value, and our initial public stockholders at the time of the spin-off would be subject to tax as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of our common stock that was distributed to them. Under the tax matters agreement between TD SYNNEX and us, we are generally required to indemnify TD SYNNEX for any taxes resulting from the separation (and related costs and other damages) to the extent such amounts result from (1) an acquisition of all or a portion of our equity securities or assets by any means, (2) any action or failure to act by us after the distribution affecting the voting rights of our stock, (3) other actions or failures to act by us, or (4) certain breaches of our agreements and representations in the tax matters agreement. Our indemnification obligations to TD SYNNEX and its subsidiaries, officers, and directors are not limited by any maximum amount. If we are required to indemnify TD SYNNEX or such other persons under the circumstances set forth in the tax matters agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities.

**We are subject to potential indemnification liabilities to TD SYNNEX pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement.**

The separation and distribution agreement between TD SYNNEX and us provides for indemnification obligations designed to make us financially responsible for substantially all liabilities that may exist relating to our business activities, whether incurred before or after the spin-off. If we are required to indemnify TD SYNNEX under the circumstances set forth in this agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities.

**In connection with the spin-off, TD SYNNEX has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities and liabilities related to TD SYNNEX assets; however, these indemnities may be insufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities.**

Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, TD SYNNEX has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities. However, third parties could seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that TD SYNNEX agreed to retain, and there can be no assurance that TD SYNNEX will be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from TD SYNNEX any amounts for which we are held liable, such indemnification may be insufficient to fully offset the financial impact of such liabilities or we may be required to bear these losses while seeking recovery from TD SYNNEX.

**General Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock**

**The share price and trading volume of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.**

Our common stock has been traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "CNXC" since December 1, 2020. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our financial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developments generally affecting the CX solutions industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of our business and the performance of similar companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our capital structure, including the amount of our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement of acquisitions or dispositions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additions or departures of key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in market valuations of similar companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic, industry and market conditions;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our dividend policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investor perception of our business and our company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in "Risk Factors."

In addition, the stock market regularly experiences significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our share price.

**We cannot guarantee the continued payment of dividends on our common stock, or the timing or amount of any such dividends.** 

The continued payment of dividends in the future, and the timing and amount thereof, to our stockholders is within the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors' decisions regarding the payment of dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

**Your percentage ownership in Concentrix may be diluted in the future.** 

In the future, your percentage ownership in Concentrix may be diluted because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including equity awards that we grant to our directors, officers and staff and staff purchases of shares from Concentrix through our employee stock purchase plan. The compensation committee of our board of directors grants stock-based awards to members of our staff and our directors, from time to time, under our stock incentive plan. Such awards have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

**Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law make it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors and may discourage hostile takeover attempts that some of our stockholders may consider to be beneficial.**

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control if our board of directors determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of us and our stockholders. These provisions may include, among other things, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms, including preferences and voting rights, of those shares without stockholder approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• stockholder action can only be taken at a special or regular meeting and not by written consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inability of our stockholders to call a special meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice procedures for nominating candidates to our board of directors or presenting matters at stockholder meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allowing only our board of directors to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• supermajority voting requirements to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on an "interested stockholder" to engage in certain business combinations with us for a three-year period following the date the interested stockholder became such.

While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate with our board of directors, they could enable the board of directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors. We are also subject to Delaware laws that could have similar effects. One of these laws prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with a significant stockholder unless specific conditions are met.

**Our bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and U.S. federal district courts as the exclusive forums for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which limits our stockholders' ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.**

Our bylaws provide that, with certain limited exceptions, any action or proceeding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brought in a derivative manner in the name or right of the company or on our behalf;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine,

will be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the U.S. federal district court for the District of Delaware). Furthermore, any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents will be exclusively brought in U.S. federal district court. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of Concentrix common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the exclusive forum provisions.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Delaware exclusive forum provision will apply to state and federal law claims other than those claims under the Securities Act for which our bylaws designate U.S. federal district court as the exclusive forum. However, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation or similar governing documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable, including with respect to claims arising under the U.S. federal securities laws.

This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of a stockholder to commence litigation in a forum that the stockholder prefers, or may require a stockholder to incur additional costs in order to commence litigation in Delaware or U.S. federal district court, each of which may discourage such lawsuits against us or our directors or officers. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

---

Our board of directors expects that cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis in the future. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors' approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

**Share Repurchases**

In September 2021, our board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of November 30, 2022, we had repurchased 980,434 shares under the share repurchase program for approximately $145.9 million in the aggregate. At November 30, 2022, we had approximately $354.1 million remaining for share repurchases under the existing authorization from our board of directors.

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements. It contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see "Risk Factors" and "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

The following discussion compares our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. The discussion comparing our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 is included within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 28, 2022, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, references to "we," "our," "us," "the Company" or "Concentrix" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to Concentrix Corporation and its subsidiaries.

**Overview and Basis of Presentation**

Concentrix is a leading global provider of Customer Experience ("CX") solutions and technology that help iconic and disruptive brands drive deep understanding, full lifecycle engagement, and differentiated experiences for their end-customers. We provide end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 as well as new economy clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, such as voice, chat, email, social media, asynchronous messaging, and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.

We generate revenue from performing services that are generally tied to our clients' products and services. Any shift in business or the size of the market for our clients' products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients' products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity.

*PK Acquisition*

On December 27, 2021, we completed our acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries, for total consideration of $1,573.3 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients' customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded our scale in the digital IT services market and supported our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to our team further strengthened our capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence ("AI"), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

*ServiceSource Acquisition*

On July 20, 2022, we completed our acquisition of ServiceSource International, Inc. ("ServiceSource") for total consideration of $141.5 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. ServiceSource is a global outsourced go-to-

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

market services provider, delivering business-to-business ("B2B") digital sales and customer success solutions that complemented our existing offerings in this area.

*Spin-off* 

On December 1, 2020, Concentrix and our technology-infused CX solutions business were separated from SYNNEX Corporation, now known as TD SYNNEX Corporation ("TD SYNNEX"), through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (such separation and distribution, the "spin-off"). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of our common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the spin-off, we became an independent public company and our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "CNXC" on December 1, 2020. In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define our ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.

*Risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic*

At its height, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative effect on the global economy, supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. We successfully transitioned a significant portion of our workforce to a remote working environment throughout the second quarter of 2020 and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in our sites to protect the health and safety of our staff. During fiscal year 2022, almost all of our workforce was productive, but we experienced the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as variants caused new waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe.

The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to our delivery and operations locations, our continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, our clients' acceptance of remote work environments, and the effect on our clients' businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

We are unable to predict how long the pandemic conditions will persist in regions in which we operate, if or when countries or localities may experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or our clients in response to the pandemic generally or to an increase in COVID-19 cases in a particular country or locality, and the effect of any such additional measures on our business. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions involved in preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic and the global recovery from the pandemic, our estimates may materially change in future periods. Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends.

**Revenue and Cost of Revenue**

We generate revenue through the provision of CX solutions and technology to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days' notice.

Our CX solutions and technology are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 95% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our solutions and technology. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the CX solutions and technology, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.

In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, approximately 78% and 84%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 68% and 62%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars and we expect this to continue. As a result, we have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.

**Margins**

Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our CX services are delivered, client volume trends, and the amount of lead time that is required for programs to become fully scaled and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs in periods of larger volume.

**Economic and Industry Trends**

The CX solutions industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities and quality of services. Further, there can be competitive pressure for labor in various markets, which could result in increased labor costs. Accordingly, we could be subject to pricing and labor cost pressures and may experience a decrease in revenue and operating income. Our business operates in over 40 countries across 6 continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, throughout Europe, China and Japan. Accordingly, we would be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

**Seasonality**

Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients' businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year than in any other quarter.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

***Revenue Recognition*** 

We recognize revenue from our client contracts over time as the promised services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for those services. We recognize revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us as we perform the services. We account for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payments terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. We generally invoice a client after the performance of services, or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, our contracts consist of a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).

Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors. Certain contracts may be based on a fixed price. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time using an input measure or on a straight line basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided based on the nature of the contract.

Certain client contracts include additional payments from the client based upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. Certain contracts also provide for a reduction in consideration paid to the Company in the event that certain agreed-upon service levels or performance metrics are not achieved. Revenue based on such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is unlikely that a significant reversal will occur.

***Business Combinations***

We continually seek to augment organic growth with strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our existing capabilities. Recent acquisitions have sought to enhance our capabilities and domain expertise in our key verticals, expand our geographic footprint, and further expand into higher value service offerings. We are also strategically focused on further increasing our scale to support our clients.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities may involve engaging independent third parties to perform an appraisal. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth rates and margins, attrition rates, and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions we believe a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available.

***Goodwill***

As of November 30, 2022, we had goodwill of $2,904.4 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level in the fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative analysis. If the qualitative analysis is elected, goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If we elect to perform or are required to perform a quantitative analysis, then the reporting unit's carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. As part of our fiscal year 2022 assessment, we reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit to our market capitalization. The result of the analysis demonstrated that our reporting unit's fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value.

Based on our 2022 impairment assessment, we concluded that no impairment charges were necessary. We recorded no impairment charges related to goodwill during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.

***Other Intangible Assets***

As of November 30, 2022, we had other intangible assets, net of amortization, of $985.6 million. This amount consists primarily of $919.9 million in client relationship intangible assets. As amortizable intangible assets, we evaluate the intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying value (an indicator of impairment). If an impairment indicator is present, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying values of the related assets. We recorded no impairment charges related to other intangible assets during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.

---

We generate revenue by delivering our CX solutions and technology to our clients categorized in the above primary industry verticals. Our solutions focus on customer engagement, process optimization, and back-office automation.

Our revenue increased 13.2% in fiscal year 2022, including revenue from acquired operations of $512.9 million, or an increase of 9.2%, compared to fiscal year 2021. The increase in revenue from acquired operations combined with higher volumes across most verticals caused the majority of the increase in our revenue compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue related to divested businesses of $37.9 million, or 0.7%, and an unfavorable translation effect of foreign currencies of $195.2 million, or 3.5%. The unfavorable foreign currency translation effect on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical increased over the prior year as a result of increases in volumes from several social media and internet-related service clients, increases in volumes from a broad-based group of hardware and software clients and increases due to contributions from acquired operations. Revenue in our retail, travel and ecommerce vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

from acquired operations and increased volumes from a majority of our retail and ecommerce and travel and tourism clients. Revenue in our communications and media vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations. Revenue from clients in the banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased over the prior year due to increased volumes from several banking and financial services clients partially offset by a decrease in volumes related to several of our insurance clients, which primarily resulted from the divestiture of our insurance third-party administration operations and software platform, Concentrix Insurance Solutions ("CIS"). Revenue in our healthcare vertical increased over the prior year due to contributions from acquired operations and increased volumes from a majority of our health insurance clients. Revenue in our other vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations partially offset by a decrease in revenue from government clients.

***Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage***

| | **($ in thousands)** | **($ in thousands)** | |
| Cost of revenue | $4067210 | $3617527 | 12.4% |
| Gross profit | $2257263 | $1969488 | 14.6% |
| Gross margin % | 35.7% | 35.3% |  |

---

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.

Our cost of revenue increased by 12.4% in fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the increase in our revenue and personnel costs related to staff supporting our acquired operations. These increases were partially offset by a $193.5 million, or 5.3%, reduction in the cost of revenue due to foreign currency translation. The foreign currency impacts on our cost of revenue were caused primarily by the weakening of the euro, Philippine peso, Japanese yen and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Our gross profit increased by 14.6% in fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the increase in revenue and contributions from acquired operations, partially offset by a $1.7 million reduction in gross profit due to net unfavorable foreign currency translation. Our gross margin percentage increased from 35.3% in fiscal year 2021 to 35.7% in fiscal year 2022 and was affected by the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.

***Selling, General and Administrative Expenses***

| Selling, general and administrative expenses | $1617071 | $1397091 | 15.7% |
| Percentage of revenue | 25.6% | 25.0% |  |

---

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of support personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and share-based compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the cost of our global delivery facilities, utility expenses, hardware and software costs related to our technology infrastructure, legal and professional fees, depreciation on our technology and facility equipment, amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, marketing expenses and acquisition-related and integration expenses.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 15.7% in fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to incremental expenses associated with acquired operations, increases in expenses to support our revenue growth, an increase in amortization expense of $25.8 million primarily associated with the intangible assets recognized in the acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource, an increase in acquisition-related and integration expenses of $33.0 million related to the previously described acquisitions and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $10.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a $53.4 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses due to foreign currency translation. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 25.0% for fiscal year 2021 to 25.6% for fiscal year 2022 due to the net effect of the changes described.

***Operating Income***

| Operating income | $640192 | $572397 | 11.8% |
| Operating margin | 10.1% | 10.2% |  |

---

Our operating income increased during fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the increase in gross profit partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our operating margin decreased during fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, due to the increase in gross margin percentage more than offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

***Interest Expense and Finance Charges, Net***

| Interest expense and finance charges, net | $70076 | $23046 | 204.1% |
| Percentage of revenue | 1.1% | 0.4% |  |

---

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net consist primarily of interest on our term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and interest on borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization Facility").

The increase in interest expense during fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, was due to the increase in borrowings and an increased interest rate on our term loan borrowings under our Credit Facility and increased borrowings and an increased interest rate on borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The increase in borrowings primarily resulted from borrowings incurred for the acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource in fiscal year 2022.

---

Amounts recorded as other expense (income), net include foreign currency transaction gains and losses other than cash flow hedges, investment gains and losses, the non-service component of pension costs, and other non-operating gains and losses.

Other expense (income), net in fiscal year 2022 was $34.9 million of income compared to $6.3 million of income in fiscal year 2021. The change in other expense (income), net was primarily due to favorable foreign currency transaction changes compared to the prior year.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| Provision for income taxes | $169363 | $150119 | 12.8% |
| Percentage of income before income taxes | 28.0% | 27.0% |  |

---

Our provision for income taxes consists of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions.

Our provision for income taxes increased for fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, due to the change in mix of income earned in different tax jurisdictions between fiscal years. This change in mix of income led to an increase in the U.S. minimum tax related to foreign earnings in fiscal year 2022 in comparison to fiscal year 2021. The increase was partially offset by an additional income tax expense of $13.0 million in fiscal year 2021 related to the divestiture of CIS.

The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2022 increased compared to the effective tax rate for the fiscal year 2021 due to the change in mix of income earned in different tax jurisdictions between fiscal years. A decrease in U.S. taxable income led to an increase in the U.S. minimum tax related to foreign earnings as a percentage of income before taxes.

See Note 14—Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

***Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information***

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue in constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue in constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of each fiscal year in the billing currency to U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year's currency conversion rate. Generally, when the U.S. dollar either

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our revenue growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than our revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue in adjusted constant currency, which is constant currency revenue excluding revenue from acquired operations in the current period for the twelve months following an acquisition and excluding revenue from divested operations in the comparative period for the twelve months preceding a divestiture. Revenue in adjusted constant currency presents organic constant currency revenue growth for the business, without the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. However, free cash flow has limitations because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client relationships, technology and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors' ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

In fiscal year 2022, no client accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. Our largest client accounted for 11.9% of our revenue in fiscal year 2021. The revenue that we recognized from this client was earned under multiple contracts and statements of work. No other client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in 2021.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our primary uses of cash are working capital, capital expenditures to expand our delivery footprint and enhance our technology solutions, debt repayments and acquisitions, including our fiscal year 2022 acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource. Our financing needs for these uses of cash have been a combination of operating cash flows and third-party debt arrangements. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable. When our revenue is increasing, our net investment in working capital typically increases. Conversely, when revenue is decreasing, our net investment in working capital typically decreases. To increase our market share and better serve our clients, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities, and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, available liquidity, including capacity on our debt arrangements, or the issuance of securities.

In September 2021, considering our strong free cash flow, low leverage and adequate liquidity to support capital return to stockholders while maintaining flexibility to pursue acquisitions, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500 million of our common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, we purchased 841,979 and 138,455 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of approximately $120.8 million and $25.1 million, respectively. At November 30, 2022,

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

approximately $354.1 million remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from the Company's board of directors.

During fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company has paid the following dividends per share approved by the Company's board of directors:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Announcement Date** | **Record Date** | **Per Share Dividend Amount** | **Payment Date** |
| September 27, 2021 | October 22, 2021 | $0.25 | November 2, 2021 |
| January 18, 2022 | January 28, 2022 | $0.25 | February 8, 2022 |
| March 29, 2022 | April 29, 2022 | $0.25 | May 10, 2022 |
| June 27, 2022 | July 29, 2022 | $0.25 | August 9, 2022 |
| September 8, 2022 | October 28, 2022 | $0.275 | November 8, 2022 |

---

On January 19, 2023, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.275 per share to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2023, payable on February 10, 2023.

The board of directors expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors' approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

***Debt Arrangements***

*Credit Facility*

On December 27, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PK, we entered into an amended Credit Facility to (i) refinance the then-outstanding term loan (the "Prior Term Loan") with a new term loan, which was fully advanced, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,100 million (the "Term Loan"), (ii) increase the commitments under our revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") to $1,000 million, (iii) extend the maturity of the Credit Facility from November 30, 2025 to December 27, 2026, (iv) replace LIBOR with SOFR as the primary reference rate used to calculate interest on the loans under the Credit Facility, and (v) modify the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and the margins in excess of the reference rates at which the loans under the Credit Facility bear interest. The proceeds from the Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Securitization Facility were used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Prior Term Loan and to finance the acquisition of PK, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PK and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of term or daily SOFR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its "prime rate" and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the Revolver that ranges from 22.5 to 30 basis points, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

Beginning August 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of the Term Loan became payable in quarterly installments of $26.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

November 30, 2022, we paid $225.0 million of the principal balance on the Term Loan, including $172.5 million of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

We may request, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, incremental commitments to increase the amount of the Revolver or the Term Loan available under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, our pro forma first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain of its U.S. subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility contains various loan covenants that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of our business. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.

Prior to it being amended in December 2021, we initially entered into our senior secured credit facility on October 16, 2020, to provide for the extension of revolving loans of up to $600 million and term loan borrowings of up to $900 million. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, we incurred the full $900 million of term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility and $250 million of borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings, net of debt issuance costs, were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by the Company to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to the Company.

Beginning May 31, 2021, the outstanding principal of the Prior Term Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $11.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, we paid $200.0 million of the principal balance on the Prior Term Loan, including $166.25 million of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

We had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of November 30, 2022 and 2021.

*Securitization Facility*

On July 6, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Securitization Facility, which was initially entered into on October 30, 2020, to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $350 million to up to $500 million, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.

Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix and certain of its U.S. based subsidiaries (the "Originators") sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $500 million. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by our accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of our clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.

On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, we incurred $250 million of borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by Concentrix to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to Concentrix.

As of November 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the debt covenants related to our debt arrangements.

***Cash Flows – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2022 and 2021***

The following summarizes our cash flows for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, as reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| | **($ in thousands)** | **($ in thousands)** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $600720 | $514178 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (1839279) | (78650) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 1237534 | (401871) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | (24522) | (6998) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $(25547) | $26659 |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year | 183010 | 156351 |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of year | $157463 | $183010 |

---

*Operating Activities*

Net cash provided by operating activities was $600.7 million for fiscal year 2022 in comparison to $514.2 million for fiscal year 2021. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities over the prior year was primarily related to the increase in net income and changes in working capital and operating assets and liabilities.

*Investing Activities*

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2022 was $1,839.3 million in comparison to $78.7 million in fiscal year 2021. The increase in net cash used in investing activities over the prior year primarily related to aggregate cash paid in connection with our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource of approximately $1.7 billion.

*Financing Activities*

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2022 was $1,237.5 million, consisting primarily of net proceeds of $1,400.0 million from the refinancing of the Prior Term Loan with the Term Loan under our Credit Facility and net proceeds of $251.5 million from borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The increases were offset primarily by payments of $225.0 million made on the Term Loan, repurchases of our common stock of $133.3 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, and dividends paid of $53.4 million.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2021 was $401.9 million, consisting primarily of principal payments of $200.0 million on borrowings under our Credit Facility, net payments of $145.0 million on borrowings under our Securitization Facility, repurchases of our common stock of $57.5 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, and dividends paid of $13.1 million.

We believe our current cash balances and credit availability are enough to support our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

***Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure)***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| | **($ in thousands)** | **($ in thousands)** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $600720 | $514178 |
| Purchases of property and equipment | (140018) | (149079) |
| Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) | $460702 | $365099 |

---

Our free cash flow was $460.7 million in fiscal year 2022, compared to $365.1 million in fiscal year 2021. The increase in free cash flow in fiscal year 2022 over the prior year primarily reflects increased net cash provided by operating activities as a result of the increase in net income and a decrease in capital expenditures.

***Capital Resources***

As of November 30, 2022, we had total liquidity of $1,288.9 million, which includes undrawn Revolver capacity of $1,000 million under our Credit Facility, undrawn capacity of $143.5 million under our Securitization Facility, and cash and cash equivalents.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $145.4 million and $182.0 million as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, 97% and 87% were held by our non-U.S. legal entities as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. legal entities are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States; repatriation of some non-U.S. balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all non-U.S. cash to fund our international operations and expansion; however, the Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities that are likely to be repatriated in the future. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the impact of the state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation. Presently, we believe we have sufficient resources, cash flow and liquidity within the United States to fund current and expected future working capital, investment and other general corporate funding requirements.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financial market activities.

***Material Cash Requirements, including Contractual Obligations to Third Parties***

The following table summarizes our material cash requirements from known contractual or other obligations as of November 30, 2022 that are not disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:

| Defined benefit plan funding (b) | 77198 |  | 9811 | 13237 | 54150 |

---

(a) Cash obligations for required interest payments on our variable-rate debt obligations at the current rates as of November 30, 2022.

(b) Includes projected contributions to achieve minimum funding objectives for our cash balance pension plan.

As of November 30, 2022, we have established a reserve of $78.5 million for unrecognized tax benefits. As we are unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement related to these unrecognized tax benefits, the table above excludes such liabilities.

We currently expect our 2023 capital expenditures to be approximately $140 million to $160 million, which includes investments to support our growth and maintenance capital expenditures.

**ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

**Market Risk**

We are and will be exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from changes in market rates and prices. Our risk management strategy includes managing these risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. In using derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposures to changes in exchange rates, we expose ourselves to counterparty credit risk. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with investment grade-rated institutions that can be expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements and by diversifying the financial institutions with which we enter into such agreements. There can be no guarantee that the risk management activities that we have entered into will be sufficient to fully offset market risk or reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. See Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion of our financial risk management.

**Foreign Currency Risk**

While approximately 68% of our revenue is priced in U.S. dollars, we recognize a substantial amount of revenue under contracts that are denominated in euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and Japanese yen, among other currencies. A significant increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to these currencies may have a material adverse effect on the value of those services when translated into U.S. dollars.

We serve many of our U.S.-based, European and British clients from our CX delivery centers located around the world. As a result, a substantial portion of the costs to deliver these services are denominated in the local currency of the country where the services are performed. This creates foreign exchange exposure for us. As of November 30, 2022, we have hedged a portion of our exposure related to the anticipated cash flow requirements denominated in certain foreign currencies by entering into hedging contracts with institutions to acquire a total of PHP 37,780.0 million at a fixed price of $687.2 million at various dates through November 2024; and INR 24,810.0 million at a fixed price of $303.2 million at various dates through November 2024. The fair value of these derivative instruments as of November 30, 2022 is presented in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The potential loss in fair value at November 30, 2022 for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates is approximately $96.4 million. This loss would be substantially mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying foreign currency exposures.

Other foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. We periodically enter into hedging contracts that are not denominated as hedges. The purpose of these derivative instruments is to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure related to receivables, payables and intercompany transactions that are denominated in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of our respective legal entities that are party to the transactions. As of November 30, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives not designated as hedges was a net receivable of $7.9 million.

**Interest Rate Risk**

At November 30, 2022, all of our outstanding debt under our Credit Facility and our Securitization Facility is variable rate debt, which exposes the Company to changes in interest rates. Holding other variables constant, including the total amount of outstanding indebtedness, a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would cause an estimated increase in interest expense of approximately $22.3 million per year.

**Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of ours are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting did not include internal controls of PK and ServiceSource, which we acquired during the first quarter and third quarter of fiscal year 2022, respectively. These fiscal year 2022 acquisitions represented 27.9% of our total assets (of which 24.4% represented goodwill and intangible assets included within the scope of the assessment) and 8.1% of our total revenue as of and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. We have included the financial results of the acquired operations in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that, as of November 30, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2022 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears beginning on the following page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Concentrix Corporation:

*Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting* 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Concentrix Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Company acquired PK and ServiceSource during the year-ended November 30, 2022, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2022, PK and ServiceSource's internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of 27.9% (of which 24.4% represented goodwill and intangible assets included within the scope of the assessment) and total revenue of 8.1% included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended November 30, 2022. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of PK and ServiceSource.

*Basis for Opinions* 

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

*Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting* 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

*Critical Audit Matters*

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

*Fair value of acquired intangible assets*

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on December 27, 2021, the Company acquired PK in a transaction accounted for as a business combination. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized an acquired customer relationships intangible asset associated with the generation of future income from PK's existing customers. The acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was $398,600.

We identified the evaluation of the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset as a critical audit matter. Specifically, a high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the revenue growth rate and margin assumptions within the discounted cash flows model used to estimate the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset. There was limited observable market information related to the revenue growth rate and margin assumptions and the estimated acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was sensitive to minor changes in these assumptions.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's acquisition-date valuation process, including controls over the revenue growth rate and margin assumptions noted above. We evaluated the forecasted revenue growth rates and margins by comparing them to the historical revenue growth rates and margins of PK. We evaluated the relevance and reliability of the historical revenue growth rates and margins by understanding the source of the information, how the information was obtained and making inquiries with Company management. We compared the Company's forecast of PK's fiscal year 2022 revenue growth and margin to PK's actual revenue growth and margin for the year to assess the Company's ability to accurately forecast. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

assisted in evaluating the revenue growth rates and margins used by the Company by comparing the assumptions to those of market participants.

*Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue*

As discussed in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, and presented in the consolidated statement of operations, the Company reported revenue of $6,324,473 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. Revenue is generated primarily from the provision of Customer Experience solutions and technology to its clients. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts, and accounts for a contract with a client, when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and consideration is probable of collection. The Company operates in over 40 countries across six continents, with significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, throughout Europe, China, and Japan.

We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained required especially subjective auditor judgment because of the geographical dispersion of the Company's revenue generating activities. This included determining the locations for which procedures were performed and evaluating the evidence obtained over revenue.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue, including the determination of the locations at which those procedures were performed. For each location for which procedures were performed, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the revenue process, including controls related to the appropriate recording of revenue. For a sample of transactions, we compared the amounts recognized as revenue for consistency with relevant underlying documentation, including contracts and other third-party evidence. We evaluated the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained over revenue by assessing the results of the procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence.

**CONCENTRIX CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)**

**NOTE 1—BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:**

**Background**

Concentrix Corporation ("Concentrix," the "CX business" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of Customer Experience ("CX") solutions and technology that help iconic and disruptive brands drive deep understanding, full lifecycle engagement, and differentiated experiences for their end-customers around the world. The Company provides end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. The Company's primary verticals are technology and consumer electronics, retail, travel and e-commerce, communications and media, banking, financial services and insurance, and healthcare.

On December 1, 2020, Concentrix and the CX business were separated from SYNNEX Corporation, now known as TD SYNNEX Corporation ("TD SYNNEX" or the "former parent"), through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (such separation and distribution, the "spin-off"). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of the Company's common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the spin-off, the Company became an independent public company and the Company's common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "CNXC" on December 1, 2020.

In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define the Company's ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.

**Basis of presentation (including principles of consolidation)**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

*Prior to the spin-off on December 1, 2020*

Prior to the spin-off, the CX business was held entirely within certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of TD SYNNEX dedicated to the CX business. As the separate legal entities that make up the CX business were not historically held by a single legal entity, the financial statements of the Company were prepared in connection with the expected separation and were derived from the TD SYNNEX consolidated financial statements and accounting records as if the Company had been operated on a stand-alone basis during the periods presented. Accordingly, for periods prior to December 1, 2020, the Company's financial statements are presented on a combined basis, and for the periods subsequent to December 1, 2020, they are presented on a consolidated basis (all periods hereinafter are referred to as "consolidated financial statements"). All direct revenue and expenses attributable to the CX business, including certain allocations of former parent costs and expenses, were separately maintained in a separate ledger in the legal entities that make up the CX business. As the separate legal entities that make up the CX business were not historically held by a single legal entity, former parent company investment was shown in lieu of stockholders' equity in the prior year periods. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the legal entities that comprise the CX business were eliminated.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

Management of the Company and former parent consider allocations of former parent costs to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, the Company. The allocations may not, however, have reflected the expense the Company would have incurred as a stand-alone company for those periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and other strategic decisions.

Prior to the spin-off, certain Concentrix legal entities in the United States jointly and severally guaranteed certain of TD SYNNEX' borrowing arrangements and substantially all of the assets of these Concentrix legal entities secured TD SYNNEX' obligations under the borrowing arrangements. Historically, Concentrix received or provided funding for acquisitions or ongoing operations as part of TD SYNNEX' centralized treasury program. Accordingly, only cash amounts specifically recorded in the separate Concentrix ledger were reflected in the balance sheets. The Company reflected transfers of the cash from the former parent's cash management system as loans or other accounts payable to the former parent or a reduction of accounts or loans receivable in the prior year balance sheet based on the purpose for which the cash was provided by the former parent. Similarly, cash transfers to the former parent were reflected as reductions of loans or other accounts payable to the former parent or loans receivable from the former parent. The cash payments and receipts were recorded in the prior year statements of cash flows as operating or financing activities based on the nature of the transactions for which the funds were transferred between the Company and the former parent.

Prior to the spin-off, operations of Concentrix were included in the consolidated U.S. federal, and certain state and local income tax returns filed by TD SYNNEX, where applicable. Concentrix also filed certain separate state, local and foreign tax returns. Income tax expense and other income tax related information contained in the financial statements prior to the spin-off were presented on a separate return basis, which required the Company to estimate tax expense as if the Company filed a separate return apart from TD SYNNEX. The income taxes of Concentrix as presented in the financial statements for these periods may not be indicative of the income taxes that Concentrix has incurred following the spin-off or will incur in the future.

*Risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic*

At its height, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative effect on the global economy, supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. The Company successfully transitioned a significant portion of its workforce to a remote working environment throughout the second quarter of 2020 and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in the Company's sites to protect the health and safety of staff. During fiscal year 2022, almost all of the Company's workforce was productive, but the Company experienced the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as variants caused new waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe.

The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to the Company's delivery and operations locations, its continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, the Company's clients' acceptance of remote work environments, and the effect on the Company's clients' businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The Company is unable to predict how long the pandemic conditions will persist in regions in which the Company operates, if or when countries or localities may experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or the Company's clients in response to the pandemic generally or to an increase in COVID-19 cases in a particular country or locality, and the effect of any such additional measures on the Company's business. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of these consolidated financial statements required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic and the global recovery from the pandemic, the Company's estimates may materially change in future periods.

**NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:**

**Use of estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates on a regular basis and bases them on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

**Segment reporting**

Concentrix operations are based on an integrated global delivery model whereby services under a client contract in one location may be provided from delivery centers located in one or more different countries, with more than half of the Company's workforce located in the Philippines and India. Given the homogeneity of technology-infused CX services and the integrated delivery model, the Company operates in a single segment, based on how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") views and evaluates the Company's operations in making operational and strategic decisions and assessments of financial performance. The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM.

**Cash equivalents**

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity or remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market deposit accounts that are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by financial institutions to the extent that cash balances with financial institutions are in excess of amounts that are insured.

**Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts**

Accounts receivable are comprised primarily of amounts owed to the Company by clients and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate to cover the losses resulting from uncertainty regarding collections from customers to make payments for outstanding balances. In estimating the required allowance, the Company considers the overall quality and aging of the accounts receivable and credit evaluations of its clients' financial condition. The Company also evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on specific client circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the value and adequacy of any collateral received from clients.

**Unbilled receivables**

In the majority of service contracts, the Company performs the services prior to billing the client, and this amount is captured as an unbilled receivable included in accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. Billing usually occurs in the month after the Company performs the services or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions.

**Derivative financial instruments**

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and carries them at fair value.

For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are designated as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

"Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)," in stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the same line associated with the forecasted transactions, in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions.

For derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges, gains and losses on derivative instruments are reported in the consolidated statements of operations in the current period.

**Software costs**

The Company develops software platforms for internal use. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop software subsequent to the software product reaching the application development stage. The Company also capitalizes the costs incurred to extend the life of existing software, or the cost of significant enhancements that are added to the features of existing software. The capitalized development costs primarily comprise payroll costs and related software costs. Capitalized costs are amortized over the economic life of the software using the straight line method.

**Property and equipment**

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the lease term of the respective assets, if applicable. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. The ranges of estimated useful lives for property and equipment categories are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Equipment and furniture | 3 - 10 years |
| Software | 3 - 7 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 2 - 15 years |
| Buildings and building improvements | 10 - 39 years |

---

**Leases**

The Company enters into leases as a lessee for property and equipment in the ordinary course of business. When procuring services, or upon entering into a contract with its clients, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at its inception. As part of that evaluation, the Company considers whether there is an implicitly or explicitly identified asset in the arrangement and whether the Company, as the lessee, or the client, if the Company is the lessor, has the right to control the use of that asset. When the Company is the lessee, all leases with a term of more than 12 months are recognized as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and associated lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, at the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which the Company would borrow on a secured basis in the country where the lease was executed. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in the transactions where the Company is the lessee. The ROU asset equals the lease liability adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent and lease incentives. The Company's variable lease payments generally relate to payments tied to various indexes, non-lease components and payments above a contractual minimum fixed amount.

Operating leases are included in other assets, net, other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Substantially all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company made a policy election to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less in the consolidated balance sheet. Lease expenses are recorded within selling, general, and administrative

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease payments are presented within "Cash flows from operating activities" in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

For all asset classes, the Company has elected the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance services) and account for the consolidated unit as a single lease component. Variable lease payments are recognized in the periods in which the obligations for those payments are incurred.

**Business combinations**

The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired entity and the Company and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as an intangible asset. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. The Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business in the consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related charges are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. These charges primarily include direct third-party professional and legal fees and integration-related costs.

**Goodwill and intangible assets**

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level in the fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative analysis. If the qualitative analysis is elected, goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If the Company elects to perform or is required to perform a quantitative analysis, then the reporting unit's carrying value is compared to its fair value. As part of this analysis, the Company reconciles the fair value of its reporting unit to its market capitalization. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.

No goodwill impairment has been identified for any of the fiscal years presented in these consolidated financial statements.

The values assigned to intangible assets are based on estimates and judgment regarding expectations for the length of customer relationships and the success of life cycle of technologies acquired in a business combination. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives based on estimates of the use of the economic benefit of the asset or by using the straight line method.

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, technology, trade names and non-compete agreements. Amortization is based on the pattern over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed or, when the consumption pattern is not apparent, by using the straight line method over the following useful lives:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Customer relationships | 10 - 15 years |
| Technology | 5 years |
| Trade names | 3 - 5 years |
| Non-compete agreements | 3 years |

---

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

**Impairment of long-lived assets**

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as intangible assets subject to amortization, property and equipment and certain other assets, including lease right-of-use assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value.

**Concentration of credit risk**

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative instruments.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through November 30, 2022, the Company has not experienced any credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.

Accounts receivable comprise amounts due from clients. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of its receivable portfolio and specifically identified client risks.

In fiscal year 2022, no client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue. In fiscal years 2021 and 2020, one client accounted for 11.9% and 11.5%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue.

As of November 30, 2022 and 2021, one client comprised 12.4% and 15.3%, respectively, of the Company's total accounts receivable balance.

**Revenue recognition**

The Company generates revenue primarily from the provision of CX solutions and technology to its clients. The Company recognizes revenue from services contracts over time as the promised services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is entitled in exchange for those services. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company as the Company performs the services. The Company accounts for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. The Company generally invoices a client after performance of services, or in accordance with specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component.

The Company determines whether the services performed during the initial phases of an arrangement, such as setup activities, are distinct. In most cases, the arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).

Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors. Certain contracts may be based on a

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

fixed price. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time using an input measure or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided based on the nature of the contract. Client contract terms can range from less than one year to more than five years.

Certain client contracts include incentive payments from the client upon achieving certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the client. Revenue relating to such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

**Cost of revenue**

Recurring direct operating costs for services are recognized as incurred. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of personnel costs and transition and initial set up costs.

**Selling, general and administrative expenses**

Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to income as incurred. Expenses of promoting and selling products and services are classified as selling expense and include such items as compensation, sales commissions and travel. General and administrative expenses include such items as compensation, cost of delivery centers, legal and professional costs, office supplies, non-income taxes, insurance and utility expenses. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include other operating items such as allowances for credit losses, depreciation and amortization of non-technology related intangible assets.

**Advertising**

Costs related to advertising and service promotion expenditures are charged to "Selling, general and administrative expenses" as incurred. To date, net costs related to advertising and promotion expenditures have not been material.

**Income taxes**

Prior to December 1, 2020, the Company's operations were included in the tax returns filed by the respective former parent entities of which the Company's businesses were a part. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020, income tax expense and other income tax related information contained in these consolidated financial statements are presented on a separate return basis as if the Company filed its own tax returns.

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the difference is expected to reverse. Tax on global low-taxed intangible income is accounted for as a current expense in the period in which the income is includable in a tax return using the "period cost" method. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized.

The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if that tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provisions for income taxes.

**Foreign currency translations**

The functional currencies of the legal entities' financial statements included in these consolidated financial statements are the local currencies of the legal entities and are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation as

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

follows: assets and liabilities at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, equity at the historical rates of exchange, and income and expense amounts at the average exchange rate for the month. Translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the legal entities' accounts are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." Transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency are converted to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At period end, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within "Other expense (income), net."

**Other comprehensive income**

The primary components of other comprehensive income for the Company include foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the combination of foreign legal entities engaged in the CX business, unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, and changes in unrecognized pension and post-retirement benefits.

**Share-based compensation**

Share-based compensation cost for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is determined based on the fair value at the measurement date. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost as expense for these awards ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Share-based compensation for performance-based restricted stock units is measured based on fair value at the initial measurement date and is adjusted each reporting period, as necessary, to reflect changes in management's assessment of the probability that performance conditions will be satisfied and, for certain awards, to reflect changes in the Company's stock price. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost associated with its performance-based restricted stock units over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company accounts for expense reductions that result from the forfeiture of unvested awards in the period that the forfeitures occur.

**Pension and post-retirement benefits**

The funded status of the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefit plans is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at November 30, the measurement date. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation ("PBO") and, for the other post-retirement benefit plans, the benefit obligation is the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation ("APBO"). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement. For active plans, the present value reflects estimated future compensation levels. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of post-retirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. The fair value of plan assets represents the current market value of assets held by an irrevocable trust fund for the sole benefit of participants. The measurement of the benefit obligation is based on the Company's estimates and actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain key assumptions that require significant judgment, including, but not limited to, estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, inflation, rate of compensation increases, interest crediting rates and mortality rates. The assumptions used are reviewed on an annual basis.

**Earnings per common share**

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation proportional to the respective ownership among holders of common stock and participating securities. The Company's restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they are legally issued at the grant date and holders have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company's common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share also considers the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options and restricted stock units, calculated using the treasury stock method.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

**Treasury stock**

Repurchases of shares of common stock are accounted for at cost and are included as a component of stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

**Accounting pronouncements recently adopted**

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplified the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. This standard became effective for the Company in fiscal year 2022 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements recently adopted or issued had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES:**

***PK Acquisition***

*Background*

On December 27, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients' customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expands the Company's scale in the digital IT services market and supports the Company's growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to the Company's team further strengthened its capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence ("AI"), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

*Purchase price consideration*

The total purchase price consideration, net of cash and restricted cash acquired, for the acquisition of PK was $1,573.3 million, which was funded by proceeds from the Company's new term loan (the "Term Loan") under its amended senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and additional borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization Facility"). See Note 9**—**Borrowings for a further discussion of the Term Loan, the Credit Facility and the Securitization Facility.

*Purchase price allocation*

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest based on management's estimate of the respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were the assembled workforce, comprehensive service portfolio delivery capabilities and strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date:

| **Total consideration transferred** | $1610630 |

---

The purchase price allocation includes $469,300 of acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated by using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis of certain cash flow projections. The cash flow projections are based on forecasts used by the Company to price the PK acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked by referencing the implied rate of return of the Company's pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated method that reflects the economic benefit of the asset. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of PK.

***ServiceSource Acquisition***

*Background*

On July 20, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of ServiceSource International, Inc. ("ServiceSource"), a global outsourced go-to-market services provider, delivering business-to-business ("B2B") digital sales and customer success solutions that complemented Concentrix' offerings in this area.

*Purchase price consideration*

The total purchase price consideration, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of ServiceSource was $141.5 million, which was primarily funded by cash on the Company's balance sheet, as well as borrowings under the Company's Securitization Facility.

*Preliminary purchase price allocation*

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management's estimate of the respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were the assembled workforce, high-value service delivery capabilities and strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

As of November 30, 2022, the purchase price allocation is preliminary. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (not to exceed twelve months following the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and deferred income taxes. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date throughout the remainder of the measurement period. During the three months ended November 30, 2022, measurement period adjustments were recorded to estimate net deferred tax assets at the acquired value as disclosed in the table above, resulting in a corresponding decrease to goodwill.

The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $40,200 of acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis of certain cash flow projections. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated method that reflects the economic benefit of the asset. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of ServiceSource.

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company incurred $33,763 of acquisition-related and integration expenses for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022. These expenses primarily include legal and professional services, cash-settled awards, severance and retention payments and costs associated with lease terminations to integrate the businesses. These acquisition-related and integration expenses were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

***Divestitures***

In July 2021, the Company completed the sales of its insurance third-party administration operations and software platform, Concentrix Insurance Solutions ("CIS"), and another non-CX solutions business in separate transactions for total cash consideration of approximately $73,708. The divestitures generated a pre-tax gain of approximately $13,197, net of related transaction costs. The gain on divestitures and related transaction costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.

**NOTE 4—SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:** 

In November 2020, in connection with the spin-off, TD SYNNEX, as sole stockholder of Concentrix, approved the Concentrix Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan") and the Concentrix Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Concentrix ESPP"), each to be effective upon completion of the spin-off. 4,000 shares of Concentrix common stock were reserved for issuance under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan, and 1,000 shares of Concentrix common stock were authorized for issuance under the Concentrix ESPP. In December 2021, 523 additional shares of Concentrix common stock were reserved for issuance under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan resulting from an automatic annual increase pursuant to the terms of the plan.

Prior to the spin-off, certain of the Company's employees participated in a long-term incentive plan sponsored by TD SYNNEX. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense for all share-based awards made to Concentrix employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values. In connection with the completion of the spin-off and pursuant to the employee matters agreement with TD SYNNEX, each outstanding TD SYNNEX share-based award as of the distribution date was converted into either (a) TD SYNNEX and Concentrix share-based awards, each with the same number of shares as the original TD SYNNEX

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

award, or (b) a share-based award of only TD SYNNEX common stock or only Concentrix common stock, with an adjustment to the number of shares to preserve the value of the award. As a result of the conversion of awards, on December 1, 2020, 827 restricted stock awards and restricted stock units and 684 stock options were issued under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan. Following the conversion, it was determined that the share-based awards were modified in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. As a result, the fair values of the share-based awards immediately before and after the modification were assessed in order to determine if the modification resulted in any incremental compensation cost related to the awards. Based on the analysis performed, including consideration of the anti-dilution feature contained in the TD SYNNEX stock incentive plan, it was determined that the conversion resulted in an immaterial amount of incremental compensation cost for the outstanding awards.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** |

| Tax benefit recorded in the provision for income taxes | (12069) | (9234) | (3979) |
| Effect on net income | $35447 | $27528 | $11935 |

---

Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Employee Stock Options**

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions, including the option's expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The stock options have ten-year terms and vesting terms of five years.

**Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units** 

The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan in fiscal year 2022 were determined based on the Company's stock price at the date of grant. The awards are expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting term, typically four or five years. The holders of restricted stock awards are entitled to the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company's common stockholders.

In fiscal year 2022, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units, which included annual awards to the Company's senior executive team and retention and new hire awards to staff who joined the Company as part of the PK acquisition. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest, if at all, upon the achievement of certain annual financial targets during the three-year periods ending November 30, 2024 and August 31, 2025.

The Company granted performance-based restricted stock units in fiscal year 2021. These performance-based restricted stock units will vest, if at all, upon achievement of certain annual financial targets during the three-year period ending November 30, 2023.

**NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS:**

**Goodwill**

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Based on the current year assessment, we concluded that no impairment charges were necessary for the Company's reporting unit. We have not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill during the three-year period ended November 30, 2022.

Below is a progression of goodwill for fiscal years 2022 and 2021:

---

**Other Intangible Assets**

The Company's other intangible assets, primarily acquired through business combinations, are subject to amortization and are evaluated periodically if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amounts. No impairment charges were recognized in any period presented. As of November 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company's other intangible assets consisted of the following:

The remaining weighted average amortization period for customer relationships and other intangible assets is approximately 12 years.

**NOTE 7—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity's functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain non-U.S. legal entities and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company's hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes.

All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, or as a component of AOCI in the consolidated balance sheets, as discussed below.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

**Cash Flow Hedges**

To protect gross margins from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, certain of the Company's legal entities with functional currencies that are not U.S. dollars may hedge a portion of forecasted revenue or costs not denominated in the entities' functional currencies. These instruments mature at various dates through November 2024. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency revenue are recognized as a component of "Revenue" in the same period as the related revenue is recognized, and deferred gains and losses related to cash flow hedges of foreign currency costs are recognized as a component of "Cost of revenue" or "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the same period as the related costs are recognized. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.

**Non-Designated Derivatives**

The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Company's legal entities that own the assets or liabilities. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.

**Fair Values of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets**

The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 8—Fair Value Measurements and summarized in the table below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Value as of** | **Value as of** |
|<br>**Balance Sheet Line Item** | **November 30, 2022** | **November 30, 2021** |
| Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments: |  |  |
| Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value) | $1465853 | $1415447 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other current assets | 22839 | 10058 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other accrued liabilities | 14934 | 12542 |
| Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: |  |  |
| Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value) | $963844 | $918097 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other current assets and other assets | 6389 | 7851 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities | 32935 | 9736 |

---

**Volume of activity**

The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the Canadian dollar, the Japanese yen and the Australian dollar, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company's exposure to credit or market loss. The Company's exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency exchange rates change.

**The Effect of Derivative Instruments on AOCI and the Consolidated Statements of Operations**

The following table shows the gains and losses, before taxes, of the Company's derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and not designated as hedging instruments in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), and the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

---

| Total |  | $(36229) | $29744 | $30373 |
| **Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Loss) gain recognized from foreign exchange forward contracts, net<sup>(1)</sup> | Other expense (income), net | $(57983) | $(2880) | $32150 |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies.

There were no material gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $26,286.

**Offsetting of Derivatives**

In the consolidated balance sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements.

Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the contracts exceed the Company's obligations to the counterparties. The Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions with high credit standing.

**NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:**

The Company's fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company's investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

---

| | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of November 30, 2022** | **As of November 30, 2022** | **As of November 30, 2022** | **As of November 30, 2022** | **As of November 30, 2021** | **As of November 30, 2021** | **As of November 30, 2021** | **As of November 30, 2021** |

| **Assets:** | | | | | | | | |
| Cash equivalents | $89932 | $89932 | $— | $— | $77332 | $77332 | $— | $— |
| Foreign government bond | 1529 | 1529 |  |  | 1446 | 1446 |  |  |

| Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | $47869 | $— | $47869 | $— | $22278 | $— | $22278 | $— |

---

The Company's cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investment in a foreign government bond classified as an available-for-sale debt security is recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates. Fair values of long-term foreign currency exchange contracts are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of November 30, 2022 and 2021.

The carrying values of term deposits with maturities less than one year, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates that are variable in nature. The carrying values of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan under the Company's Credit Facility and the outstanding balance on the Securitization Facility approximate their fair values since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.

During fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

**Credit Facility**

On December 27, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PK, Concentrix entered into an amended senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to (i) refinance the then-outstanding term loan (the "Prior Term Loan") with a new term loan, which was fully advanced, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,100,000 (the "Term Loan"), (ii) increase the commitments under its revolving credit facility to $1,000,000 (the "Revolver"), (iii) extend the maturity of the Credit Facility from November 30, 2025 to December 27, 2026, (iv) replace LIBOR with SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as the primary reference rate used to calculate interest on the loans under the Credit Facility, and (v) modify the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and the margins in excess of the reference rates at which the loans under the Credit Facility bear interest. The proceeds from the Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Securitization Facility were used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Prior Term Loan and to finance the acquisition of PK, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PK and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition of PK.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of term or daily SOFR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on Concentrix' consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its "prime rate" and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on Concentrix' consolidated leverage ratio. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the Revolver that ranges from 22.5 to 30 basis points, based on Concentrix' consolidated leverage ratio.

Beginning August 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of the Term Loan became payable in quarterly installments of $26,250, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, the Company paid $225,000 of the principal balance on the Term Loan, including $172,500 of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

Concentrix may request, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, incremental commitments to increase the amount of the Revolver or the Term Loan available under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450,000, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the Company's pro forma first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain of its U.S. subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility contains various loan covenants that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of their business. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require Concentrix to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.

Prior to it being amended in December 2021, Concentrix initially entered into its senior secured credit facility on October 16, 2020, to provide for the extension of revolving loans of up to $600,000 and term loan borrowings of up to $900,000. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, the Company incurred the full $900,000 of term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings, net of debt issuance costs, were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by Concentrix to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to Concentrix.

Beginning May 31, 2021, the outstanding principal of the Prior Term Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $11,250, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, the Company paid $200,000 of the principal balance on the Prior Term Loan, including $166,250 of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

At November 30, 2022 and 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolver.

**Securitization Facility**

On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization Facility"), which was initially entered into on October 30, 2020, to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $350,000 to up to $500,000, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.

Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Originators") sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix (the "Borrower") that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $500,000. The amount received under the Securitization Facility is recorded as debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by the Company's accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of the clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).

The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia01e54ba16e2402ba03150eef4c621ef_7)</u> 

defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.

The Borrower's sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the receivables and related security from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such receivables and related security to the administrative agent under the Securitization Facility for the benefit of the lenders. The Borrower is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Borrower's assets prior to any assets or value in the Borrower becoming available to the Borrower's equity holders, and the assets of the Borrower are not available to pay creditors of Concentrix and its subsidiaries.

On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, the Company incurred $250,000 of borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by Concentrix to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to Concentrix.

**Covenant compliance**

As of November 30, 2022, Concentrix was in compliance with all covenants for the above arrangements.

**NOTE 11—TRANSACTIONS WITH FORMER PARENT:** 

The Company provides certain services related to its core business to TD SYNNEX, its former parent. Revenue from CX services to former parent is included in the statements of operations. The cost associated with such services is reported as cost of revenue in the statements of operations. The Company purchases certain products from TD SYNNEX and records compensation expense for share-based awards granted by TD SYNNEX to Concentrix employees prior to the spin-off. Prior to December 1, 2020, the Company received allocations of corporate expenses by way of a monthly management fee and received financing for acquisition and operations under the terms of intra-TD SYNNEX group borrowing arrangements.

Prior to December 1, 2020, the Company consisted of the CX business of TD SYNNEX and thus, transactions with TD SYNNEX were considered related party transactions. On December 1, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, the Company became an independent publicly-traded company. The following table presents the Company's related party transactions with TD SYNNEX prior to the spin-off.

As of November 30, 2020, the payable to former parent and its non-Concentrix subsidiaries was primarily trade in nature.

Prior to the spin-off, TD SYNNEX had issued guarantees to certain of the Company's clients to guarantee the performance obligations of the Company's legal entities. These TD SYNNEX guarantees were released or replaced by Concentrix guarantees on or prior to the spin-off.

In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define the Company's ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.

**NOTE 12—PENSION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS:**

The Company has a 401(k) plan in the United States under which eligible employees may contribute up to the maximum amount as provided by law. Employees become eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the first day of the month after their employment date. The Company may make discretionary contributions under the plan. Employees in most of the Company's non-U.S. legal entities are covered by government mandated defined contribution plans. During fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company contributed $83,792, $72,561 and $64,286, respectively, to defined contribution plans.

**Defined Benefit Plans**

The Company has defined benefit pension and retirement plans for eligible employees of certain non-U.S. legal entities. For eligible employees in the U.S., the Company maintains a frozen defined benefit pension plan ("the cash balance plan"), which includes both a qualified and non-qualified portion. The pension benefit formula for the cash balance plan is determined by a combination of compensation, age-based credits and annual guaranteed interest credits. The qualified portion of the cash balance plan has been funded through contributions made to a trust fund.

The Company maintains funded or unfunded defined benefit pension or retirement plans for certain eligible employees in the Philippines, Malaysia, India, and France. Benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement or termination of participation in the plans.

The Company's measurement date for all defined benefit plans and other post-retirement benefits is November 30. The plan assumptions for both the U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans are evaluated annually and are updated as deemed necessary. Net benefit costs related to defined benefit plans were $9,437, $13,427 and $13,602, during fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $200,198 and $256,257 at November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following weighted-average rates were used in determining the benefit obligations as of November 30, 2022 and 2021:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of November 30,** | **As of November 30,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |

The following weighted-average rates were used in determining the pension costs for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** | **Fiscal Years Ended November 30,** |

| Expected return on plan assets | 1.0% - 7.0% | 1.0% - 7.5% |
| Expected rate of future compensation growth | 1.8% - 10.0% | 1.8% - 8.5% |

---

For the cash balance plan, the discount rate reflects the rate at which benefits could effectively be settled and is based on current investment yields of high-quality corporate bonds. The Company uses an actuarially-developed yield curve approach to match the timing of cash flows of expected future benefit payments by applying specific spot rates along the yield curve to determine the assumed discount rate.

The range of discount rates utilized in determining the pension cost and projected benefit obligation of the Company's defined benefit plans reflects a lower prevalent rate applicable to the frozen cash balance plan for eligible employees in U.S. and a higher applicable rate for the unfunded defined benefit plan for certain eligible employees in the Philippines, France and Malaysia. The plans outside the U.S. represented approximately 28% and 25% of the Company's total projected benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively**.**

**Plan Assets**

As of November 30, 2022 and 2021, plan assets for the cash balance plan consisted of common/collective trusts (of which approximately 62% are invested in equity backed funds and approximately 38% are invested in funds in fixed income instruments) and a private equity fund. The Company's targeted allocation was 60% equity and 40% fixed income. The investment objectives for the plan assets are to generate returns that will enable the plan to meet its future obligations. The Company's expected long-term rate of return was determined based on the asset mix of the plan, projected returns, past performance and other factors. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, total plan assets at fair value as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, including the cash balance plan and other funded benefit plans:

The Company's cash balance plan holds level 2 investments in common/collective trust funds that are public investment vehicles valued using a net asset value (NAV) provided by the manager of each fund. The NAV is based on the underlying net assets owned by the fund, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV's unit price is quoted on a private market that may not be active. However, the NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying securities within the fund, which are traded on an active market, and valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which those individual securities are traded. The significant investment strategies of the funds are as described in the financial statements provided by each fund. There are no restrictions on redemptions from these funds. Level 3 investments are equity based funds that primarily invest in domestic early stage capital funds.

Provision for income taxes for fiscal year 2020 was increased by an adjustment of $26,823 ($17,203 current tax expense plus $9,600 deferred tax expense) to reflect the hypothetical tax impact if Concentrix was not part of TD SYNNEX' U.S. consolidated group and thereby suffered a much higher U.S. foreign tax credit limitation. The offset to the hypothetical tax expense was reflected in the former parent company investment balance, a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company's U.S. business has sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund its operating requirements and the Company expects and intends that profits earned outside the United States will be fully utilized and reinvested outside of the United States with the exception of earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities. The Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings likely to be repatriated in the future.

As of November 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $1,715,750 of undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries for which it has not provided for non-U.S. withholding taxes and state taxes because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely in international operations. It is not practicable to determine the amount of applicable taxes that would be due if such earnings were distributed. Accordingly, the Company has not provisioned U.S. state taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the non-U.S. legal entities for which the earnings are permanently reinvested.

As of November 30, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $344,847 and $52,815 for federal and state purposes, respectively. The federal net operating loss carry forward and the state net operating loss carry forwards will begin to expire in the fiscal year ending November 30, 2023. The increase in net operating loss carry forwards was due to the acquisition of ServiceSource and an incremental valuation allowance was established due to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Company also had approximately $118,199 of foreign net operating loss carry forwards that will also begin to expire in fiscal year ending November 30, 2023 if not used. In addition, the Company has approximately $10,153 of various federal and state income tax credit carry forwards that, if not used, will begin to expire in the fiscal year ending November 30, 2023. Utilization of the acquired loss carry forwards may be limited pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The Company enjoys tax holidays in certain jurisdictions, primarily China, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and the Philippines. The tax holidays provide for lower or zero rates of taxation and require various thresholds of investment and business activities in those jurisdictions. The estimated tax benefits from the above tax holidays for fiscal years 2022, 2021, and 2020 were approximately $10,315, $9,160, and $12,850, respectively.

The Company conducts business globally and files income tax returns in various U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company is subject to continuous examination and audits by various tax authorities. Significant audits are underway in the United States and India. The Company is not aware of any material exposures arising from these tax audits or in other jurisdictions not already provided for.

Although timing of the resolution of audits and/or appeals is highly uncertain, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2022 could decrease between $37,192 and $39,991 in the next twelve months. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audit for returns covering years through fiscal year 2017. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. or U.S. state income tax audits for returns covering years through fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2014, respectively.

The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $78,501 and $56,308 at November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of November 30, 2022 and 2021, $40,793 and $48,438 of the total unrecognized tax benefits, net of federal benefit, would affect the effective tax rate, if realized. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, within the provision for income taxes. As of November 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had accrued $7,538 and $8,861, respectively, in income taxes payable related to accrued interest and penalties. The net interest and penalties balance and the aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2021 include an immaterial prior period disclosure adjustment to properly present the balances. This disclosure adjustment resulted in no impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statement of operations for any period presented.

Under the tax matters agreement with TD SYNNEX, the Company generally has liability and is required to indemnify TD SYNNEX for (1) any taxes incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's business by the Company or its subsidiaries and (2) a portion of the taxes for tax periods that ended on or prior to the distribution related to transactions between Concentrix and TD SYNNEX or their respective subsidiaries, or other transactions in which both Concentrix and TD SYNNEX or their respective subsidiaries received a financial benefit.

**NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:**

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities. It is possible that the liabilities ultimately incurred by the Company could differ from the amounts recorded.

Under the separation and distribution agreement with TD SYNNEX, the Company agreed to indemnify TD SYNNEX, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities allocated to Concentrix under the separation and distribution agreement, which are generally those liabilities that relate to the CX business and the Company's business activities, whether incurred prior to or after the spin-off.

Under the tax matters agreement with TD SYNNEX, if the spin-off fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, the Company is generally required to indemnify TD SYNNEX for any taxes resulting from the spin-off (and related costs and other damages) to the extent such amounts result from (1) an acquisition of all or a portion of the Company's equity securities or assets by any means, (2) any action or failure to act by the Company after the distribution affecting the voting rights of the Company's stock, (3) other actions or failures to act by the Company, or (4) certain breaches of the Company's agreements and representations in the tax matters agreement. The Company's indemnification obligations to TD SYNNEX and its subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees are not limited by any maximum amount.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

**NOTE 16—EARNINGS PER SHARE:**

Basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security.

Basic EPS is generally computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is generally computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potential dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of restricted stock units and stock options are reflected in diluted net income per share by applying the treasury stock method. There were no Concentrix equity awards outstanding prior to the spin-off, thus the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for all prior year periods disclosed is calculated using the 51.6 million shares issued in connection with the spin-off.

**NOTE 17—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:**

**Share repurchase program**

In September 2021, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500,000 of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company repurchased 842 and 138 shares, respectively, of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $120,819 and $25,100, respectively. The share repurchases were made on the open market and the shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes. At November 30, 2022, approximately $354,085 remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from the Company's board of directors.
