Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Litigation	Contingencies and Litigation As more fully discussed below, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning a variety of matters, including: governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; employment law; commercial and contracts law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); and other laws and regulations. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing its litigation and regulatory matters using available information. The Company develops its view on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in the Company's determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts in excess of any accrual for such matter or matters, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters as of June 30, 2026. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters and such outcome in any such matters could be more than any amounts accrued and could be material to the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any reporting period. Additionally, guarantees, indemnifications and claims arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with suppliers, customers and non-consolidated affiliates when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specified triggering events occur. Nonperformance under a contract could trigger an obligation of the Company. These potential claims include actions based upon alleged exposures to products, real estate, intellectual property such as patents, environmental matters and other indemnifications. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the outcome of these claims. However, while the ultimate liabilities resulting from such claims may be significant to results of operations in the period recognized, management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or liquidity. Litigation Against the Company Skyview Capital LLC and Continuum Global Solutions, LLC v. Conduent Business Services, LLC: On February 3, 2020, plaintiffs Skyview Capital LLC and Continuum Global Solutions LLC (collectively "Skyview") filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Conduent Business Services, LLC ("CBS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit relates to the February 2019 sale of a portion of CBS's select standalone customer care call center business to plaintiffs. Under the terms of the sale agreement, CBS received approximately $23 million of promissory notes from plaintiffs (the "Notes"). The lawsuit alleges various causes of action in connection with the acquisition, including: indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties; indemnification for breaches of covenants; and fraud. Skyview sought to avoid its obligations under the Notes, as well as damages against CBS for the alleged breaches of representations and warranties and fraud. On August 20, 2020, CBS filed counterclaims against Skyview seeking the outstanding balance on the Notes, the amounts owed for operating certain Jamaica-based call centers on Skyview’s behalf pending closing (the "Jamaica Deferred Closing"), other obligations under a transition services agreement and its amendments (the "TSAs"), and late rent payment obligations. In May 2021, the court denied CBS’s motion to dismiss and allowed Skyview’s claims to proceed. Following completion of fact and expert discovery, the parties filed summary judgment motions in July 2023. On December 8, 2023, the court granted the parties’ motions in part and denied them in part. In January 2024, the parties filed cross-notices of appeal with the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department ("Appellate Division"). In July 2024, Skyview informed CBS of its intention to sell a portion of its call center business. Skyview and CBS reached an agreement on August 8, 2024, under which, contemporaneously with the closing of such a transaction, Skyview would pay the outstanding principal plus interest due on the outstanding Notes, fully discharging Skyview's obligations under the Notes, and would pay certain of CBS's litigation costs. The transaction closed in December 2024, at which point Skyview paid CBS approximately $33 million, representing all outstanding principal and interest due on the Notes and reimbursement of certain litigation costs. As a result, CBS dismissed its two counterclaims related to the Notes. In June 2025, the Appellate Division issued a ruling on the parties’ cross-appeals, finding predominantly in CBS’s favor. Specifically, the Appellate Division dismissed Skyview’s fraud claim in its entirety (along with Skyview’s request for punitive damages). In addition, the Appellate Division found there to be issues of fact for trial on Skyview’s breach of contract claim. With respect to CBS’s counterclaims, the Appellate Division (i) affirmed summary judgment for CBS on its counterclaims concerning the TSAs and late rent payment amounts and (ii) affirmed summary judgment for CBS on its Jamaica Deferred Closing counterclaim and instructed the trial court to adjudicate the final amount owed by Skyview to CBS on that counterclaim. The Appellate Division further found that the maximum amount that Skyview would have been entitled to set off against its liability on the Notes was $5 million (the contractual indemnification limit set forth in the sale agreement). The trial court accordingly entered judgment for CBS of approximately $24 million on the TSA and late rent payment counterclaims on June 23, 2025, with final entry by the County Clerk on August 20, 2025. On July 3, 2025, Skyview filed a motion to reargue the Appellate Division’s decision and, alternatively, for leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. This motion was denied on September 4, 2025. No trial date has yet been set. Settlement discussions among the parties are ongoing and the court extended the pending pretrial deadlines to September 18, 2026 to allow those efforts to continue. CBS continues to deny all of plaintiffs' allegations, believes that it has strong defenses to all plaintiffs’ claims, and will continue to defend the litigation vigorously, if necessary. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in excess of currently recorded reserves. January 2025 Cyber Event The Company and CBS (collectively, “Conduent”) are parties to several lawsuits in the U.S. asserted by or on behalf of individuals who allegedly received a notification letter that their personal information may have been affected by the January 2025 Cyber Event. Most of these lawsuits have been consolidated into one single action in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (In re: Conduent Business Services Data Breach Litigation). The initial consolidated complaint was filed by plaintiffs on March 18, 2026, with an amended complaint filed on June 12, 2026. The consolidated litigation has been stayed through September 7, 2026, while the parties explore potential resolution. Conduent denies plaintiffs' allegations, believes that it has strong defenses to plaintiffs’ claims, and will continue to defend the litigations vigorously. The Company has also been responding to several subpoenas, information requests, and investigations from certain governmental agencies and other stakeholders. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome or duration of these proceedings or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any. Other Contingencies Certain contracts, primarily in the Company's Government segment and former Transportation segment, require the Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $570 million of outstanding surety bonds issued to secure its performance of contractual obligations with its clients and $123 million of outstanding letters of credit issued to secure the Company's performance of contractual obligations to its clients as well as other corporate obligations. In general, the Company would only be liable for these guarantees in the event of default in the Company's performance of its obligations under each contract.
