Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue: Revenue decreased 2.0% year-over-year for the quarter and 0.5% for the six-month period. The decline was primarily driven by the timing of ClearPath license renewals, which fell 20.4% in the quarter. Conversely, Technology Solutions & Services (TS&S) revenue increased 2.0% for the quarter and 2.5% for the six months.
• Profitability: The company reported a net loss of $95.3 million for the quarter compared to a loss of $20.1 million in the prior year. Operating results shifted from a profit of $30.3 million in the prior year quarter to a loss of $32.9 million.
• Impairment Charges: A significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $47.2 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2026 related to the Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS) reporting unit. This represented a full write-off of the DWS goodwill balance. An additional $1.5 million intangible asset impairment was also recorded.
• Interest Expense: Interest expense increased significantly to $18.3 million for the quarter (from $8.2 million) and $36.8 million for the six months (from $16.4 million) due to the issuance of $700 million in 10.625% Senior Secured Notes in June 2025.
• Cash Flow: Net cash used for operating activities improved significantly to $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $282.9 million used in the prior year period. This improvement was largely due to a $250 million discretionary pension contribution made in the prior year that did not recur.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects to continue meeting debt covenants for at least the next 12 months. Total expected cash contributions to global defined benefit pension plans for 2026 are approximately $97 million, with $40 million expected for the remainder of the year.
• Backlog and TCV: Backlog stood at $2.82 billion as of June 30, 2026, down from $2.92 billion a year ago. Total Contract Value (TCV) for the six months was $696 million, an 8% increase year-over-year, driven by a 52% increase in New Business TCV.
• Risks:
  • Impairment Risk: While DWS goodwill is fully impaired, other reporting units (CA&I and ECS) remain subject to future impairment charges if market conditions or cash flow projections deteriorate.
  • Pension Obligations: The company faces significant underfunded pension liabilities. Future contributions may vary based on asset performance, interest rates, and regulatory changes.
  • Legal and Tax: Significant unreserved tax-related matters in Brazil are estimated at approximately $100 million. Environmental liabilities are estimated at $18 million.
  • Competitive Pressure: Continued competitive pressure in the DWS segment contributed to the goodwill impairment.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the sustainability of the $47.2 million goodwill impairment charge and assess the risk of further impairments in the CA&I and ECS segments.
• Monitor the timing and volume of ClearPath license renewals, which are a primary driver of revenue volatility.
• Review the company's ability to meet its $97 million pension contribution obligation for 2026 given the current operating loss.
• Assess the impact of the $700 million 10.625% Senior Secured Notes on future interest coverage and liquidity.
• Confirm the status of the $100 million unreserved tax exposure in Brazil and potential environmental remediation costs.
