| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Conduent” refer to Conduent Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. Description of Business Conduent Incorporated is a New York corporation, organized in 2016. Conduent delivers digital business solutions and services spanning the commercial, government and transportation spectrum – creating valuable outcomes for its clients and the millions of people who count on them. The Company leverages cloud computing, artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning, automation and advanced analytics to deliver mission-critical solutions. Through a dedicated global team of approximately 46,000 associates, process expertise and advanced technologies, Conduent's solutions and services digitally transform its clients’ operations to enhance customer experiences, improve performance, increase efficiencies and reduce costs. Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Discontinued Operations On May 21, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Public Transit business, an operating unit of its Transportation segment to Modaxo USA Holdings, Inc. and certain affiliates (collectively, "Modaxo"). On June 29, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Tolling business, the other operating unit of its Transportation segment to Quarterhill Inc. These two pending transactions collectively represent an exit from the Transportation business, a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As such, these transactions qualify under applicable accounting guidance for reporting as discontinued operations and the Company reported these businesses as discontinued operations and reclassified their results from its former Transportation segment to Discontinued Operations and no longer reports results for a Transportation segment. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet for the periods presented. Refer to Note 5 – Divestitures and Discontinued Operations to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information, including selected cash flow information. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial disclosures and related information provided herein relate to the Company's continuing operations, which exclude the Transportation segment, and all prior periods have been recast to reflect discontinued operations. Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair values of financial instruments, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. In connection with the Company’s periodic review of the estimated useful lives of its buildings and equipment, the Company extended the estimated useful lives of its desktop and laptop computers from three years to four years effective April 1, 2026. The change in estimated useful lives was due to actual and expected longer refresh cycles for these assets. Based on the carrying value of the assets as of March 31, 2026 and those placed in service during the three months ended June 30, 2026, the effects of this change in estimate were decreases in Loss Before Income Taxes from Continuing Operations and Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $1 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. During 2026, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described therein.
