Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business solutions and services company, today announced it is expanding its enterprise AI strategy by collaborating with Google Cloud and integrating Google’s Gemini models into Conduent’s Viewpoint™ platform. The collaboration represents another milestone in Conduent’s strategy to embed GenAI across its technology platforms, helping clients modernize complex, essential workflows while improving speed, quality and operational efficiency.
Corporate legal departments are under increasing pressure to review growing volumes of structured and unstructured information while controlling costs, reducing risk and meeting tighter deadlines. By combining Conduent’s decades of legal operations expertise with Google Cloud’s AI technologies, organizations can analyze complex datasets faster, improve decision-making and deliver more defensible outcomes across eDiscovery and data breach response.
“Enterprise AI is not about replacing expertise, it is about amplifying it,” said George Wehbe, President, Commercial Solutions, Conduent. “Legal professionals are being asked to review exponentially more information with the same resources. By combining Conduent’s legal operations expertise with Google Cloud’s AI capabilities, we’re helping clients make faster, better-informed decisions while maintaining the governance, transparency and defensibility these matters demand.”
Driving Faster, Smarter Legal Outcomes At the core of the collaboration is Enhanced Review, a GenAI-powered capability within Viewpoint, which applies user-defined protocols to identify relevant content, detect legal issues, and surface high-risk documents early in the review process.
Enabled by Google’s Gemini models, Enhanced Review delivers consistent, explainable results with transparent reasoning that helps legal teams understand not just what was identified, but why.
By embedding GenAI, Enhanced Review enables:
Faster insights — key case questions answered in minutes, not days
Lower costs — 30–60% reduction in document-intensive analysis effort
Reduced risk — improved accuracy, auditability, and defensibility
Extending AI Across the Legal Workflow Beyond document review, Conduent’s collaboration with Google Cloud helps extend GenAI across the broader legal lifecycle. Viewpoint Apps use AI-powered analysis to convert large volumes of unstructured documents into structured, review-ready outputs, including chronologies, privilege logs and case reports, to accelerate insight while reducing manual effort.
In addition, Conduent’s CyberMine®, integrated with Viewpoint Data Breach Analyzer, automates breach response workflows by extracting participant data at scale, often spanning millions of records, deduplicating entries, and generating audit-ready notification lists, significantly reducing both response time and operational burden.
Built for Scale, Security, and Choice Unlike cloud-only platforms, Viewpoint gives organizations full control over how and where their data is managed. Clients can deploy the full solution as SaaS on Google Cloud, on-premises or through managed services, ensuring alignment with regulatory, security and operational requirements. This flexibility, combined with Google Cloud’s global, high-performance infrastructure, enables organizations to scale eDiscovery operations without compromising data sovereignty or control.
Advancing Innovation in Legal and Compliance Conduent’s collaboration with Google Cloud reflects a commitment to co-innovation and expanding the role of AI across legal and compliance workflows. Current capabilities focus on eDiscovery and data breach response, with planned expansion into areas such as contract analytics and investigations.

Q2 results reflect ongoing transformation. Continuing operations revenue declined 11.9% to $531 million, while adjusted EBITDA was $16 million, or a 3.0% margin. Commercial remained pressured by contract losses and lower volumes, while Government results reflected the timing of Medicaid implementation activity.
Guidance supports a stronger second half. Management established 2026 continuing operations guidance of $2.15-$2.25 billion of revenue and $140-$170 million of adjusted EBITDA, implying a roughly 7% EBITDA margin at the midpoint. Our estimates of $2.21 billion and $157 million, respectively, are modestly above the midpoint of guidance.

Execution continues to improve. Management reiterated that second quarter results were in line with expectations while highlighting meaningful progress across its five strategic priorities, including cost reduction, financial discipline, portfolio optimization, and pipeline conversion. Six months into the transformation, management believes the company is beginning to see tangible operational improvements.
Transportation exit strengthens the financial profile. The announced sales of the Transit and Tolling businesses are expected to generate approximately $234 million of gross proceeds, reduce off-balance-sheet obligations by roughly 80%, lower capital requirements, and provide significant flexibility to reduce debt while sharpening management’s focus on its core businesses.

Transportation exit complete. Conduent announced the sale of its Tolling business for $70 million, completing its planned exit from the Transportation segment and substantially finishing management’s portfolio rationalization strategy.
Higher-quality business emerges. The Transportation divestitures simplify Conduent’s operating structure, reduce capital intensity, and sharpen management’s focus on its core Government and Commercial businesses, which we believe should improve long-term earnings quality and free cash flow generation.

Tolling divestiture completes Transportation exit. Conduent announced the sale of its Tolling business to Quarterhill for $70 million, completing its previously announced exit from the Transportation segment and advancing management’s portfolio simplification strategy. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
Deal terms limit Conduent’s residual risk. Quarterhill will assume substantially all liabilities associated with the business, including surety bond obligations, while Conduent will retain a 7% equity stake in Quarterhill, providing potential upside participation.

The launch of the AI-powered Next Generation CX Platform reinforces strategic transformation. Conduent introduced new AI-enabled capabilities, including real-time translation, AI-driven agent training, and voice enhancement technologies, further positioning the company as a technology-enabled customer experience provider rather than a traditional business process outsourcer.
New capabilities support higher-margin, technology-enabled growth. The platform enables real-time translation across more than 90 languages, AI-based training simulations that can reduce agent onboarding time by up to 40%, and accent smoothing and noise cancellation, all of which enhance customer interactions and improve operational efficiency.

Sale viewed favorably. The sale of the Public Transit business is expected to significantly narrow Conduent’s global operating footprint and streamline operations, while also exiting a capital-intensive business that required ongoing investments in hardware, infrastructure, and implementation. We believe the transaction should improve operational focus and support management’s strategy to prioritize higher-margin, technology-enabled service offerings.
Estimate revisions affect revenue, not adj. EBITDA. Despite likely downward revisions to revenue guidance following the divestiture, we do not anticipate a meaningful change to EBITDA guidance and believe the transaction improves overall business quality by increasing focus on higher-margin, technology-enabled service offerings. We have adjusted our 2026 and 2027 revenue expectations in light of the prospective sale.

Conduent Retains Ownership of Tolling Business Segment
Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology‑driven business solutions and services provider, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Public Transit business, an operating unit of Conduent Transportation, to Modaxo, a global technology organization focused on moving the world’s people.

The sale of the Public Transit business is viewed favorably. The agreement to sell the Public Transit business to Modaxo for approximately $164 million is expected to strengthen financial flexibility and provide additional balance sheet optionality. Management previously indicated that divestiture proceeds could support debt reduction, restructuring initiatives, strategic reinvestment opportunities, and potential shareholder return programs, while also improving the company’s overall capital allocation profile.
A strategic move. Public Transit divestiture advances Conduent’s previously announced portfolio optimization strategy and appears consistent with management’s “fix, sell, or grow” operating framework, which focuses on simplifying the business, improving operational focus, and enhancing long-term profitability.

Adj. EBITDA(1): $49M, improved by $12M year-over-year
Adj. EBITDA Margin(1): 6.8%, improved by 190 bps year-over-year
Cash flow from operating activities: $(8)M, improved by $50M year-over-year

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., May 11, 2026 — Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology driven business process solutions and services company, today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results.
Harsha V. Agadi, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Q1 2026 marked the start of a rapid and sustainable transformation at Conduent. In the quarter we started to develop a comprehensive cost reduction and technology optimization strategy. In addition, we enhanced our go-to-market approach, all while driving an improvement in our operating model, achieving EBITDA margins of 6.8% for the quarter, and generated a significant year‑over‑year improvement in adjusted free cash flow. Looking ahead to 2027, we see a clear path to positive adjusted free cash flow and continued improvement in adjusted EBITDA.”
“We also took decisive steps to strengthen execution. In April, I streamlined leadership of our Commercial organization to sharpen accountability and accelerate decision‑making, aligning client relationships and sales execution under a simplified reporting structure that reports directly to me.”
“Portfolio optimization remains a critical pillar of our turnaround. I am extremely confident we will be able to reduce complexity, improve operating performance and continue to strengthen our balance sheet as we use proceeds to reduce debt.”
Agadi continued, “Our priorities are clear: accelerating execution, enforcing financial discipline, reducing our cost structure, optimizing the portfolio, converting pipeline into growth, and simplifying the organization. In Q1, we made meaningful, sustainable progress across each of these priorities, and we are building momentum as we move forward.”
Key Financial Q1 2026 Results
Performance Commentary At the end of the first quarter of 2026, Conduent maintained a cash balance of $228 million along with $190 million of unused capacity under its credit facility.
Q1 2026 pre-tax income (loss) was $(27) million versus $(56) million in the prior year period. This improvement was primarily caused by the absence of the discrete event-related costs from the prior year.
Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $49 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.8% increased, respectively, versus the prior year.
Revenue benefited from continued strength in Government and Transportation, with Government up approximately $10 million and Transportation up approximately $3 million year‑over‑year, reflecting solid demand and execution across both segments.
Cash flow from operating activities increased by $50 million year‑over‑year, reflecting a clear improvement from the prior year period.
Sales momentum continued to strengthen, with New Business ACV of $114 million for the quarter and the qualified pipeline expanding to approximately $3.5 billion, up from $3.2 billion in the prior year period, reinforcing improved growth visibility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related tax effects. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the results of the current period against the corresponding prior period. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Providing such non-GAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as to how management reviews and evaluates our business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” sections attached to this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported U.S. GAAP measures.
