Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased 1.8% year-over-year, driven by a 4.8% decline in organic revenue. This was partially offset by a 3.1% favorable foreign currency impact.
  • CES: Revenue down 0.8% (organic down 3.8%).
  • GIS: Revenue down 3.9% (organic down 7.2%).
  • Insurance: Revenue up 5.4% (organic up 3.6%).
• Profitability Compression: GAAP Net Income dropped significantly to $28 million from $396 million. This was primarily due to a $401 million swing in pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses (from a $232 million gain in 2025 to a $169 million loss in 2026) and a $14 million goodwill impairment charge related to a segment realignment.
• Effective Tax Rate: The effective tax rate surged to 91.2% from 37.1%, largely due to discrete tax adjustments related to litigation and valuation allowances.
• Debt Reduction: Total debt decreased by $324 million to $3.55 billion, driven by principal payments and bond issuances.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Focus: Management is prioritizing AI integration through a "Core Track" (enhancing existing offerings) and "Fast Track" (AI-native solutions) approach.
• Capital Allocation: The company continues to suspend quarterly dividends to preserve financial flexibility. A share repurchase program remains active with approximately $342 million available as of March 31, 2026.
• Key Risks:
  • Tax Litigation: Significant exposure remains regarding U.S. Tax Court cases involving capital losses, restructuring deductions, and foreign currency losses. The total cash tax exposure across three primary issues is approximately $655 million, though the company believes it will prevail on two of the three issues.
  • AI and Cybersecurity: Risks include the adoption and governance of AI technologies, reliance on third-party AI platforms, and evolving cybersecurity threats.
  • Geopolitical and Economic: Exposure to currency fluctuations (75% of revenue is non-U.S. dollar), inflation, and geopolitical conflicts affecting international operations.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Tax Litigation Outcome: Verify the status and potential financial impact of the pending U.S. Tax Court cases, specifically the $503 million capital loss dispute and the $108 million restructuring deduction dispute.
• Organic Revenue Trends: Monitor the 4.8% organic revenue decline to assess the effectiveness of the new segment structure and AI strategy in reversing the trend.
• Pension Volatility: Review the sensitivity of future earnings to pension actuarial assumptions, given the $401 million swing in non-service costs this year.
• Goodwill Impairment: Assess the risk of further goodwill impairments following the $14 million charge in Q1 2026 related to the GIS segment realignment.
• Liquidity Position: Confirm the availability of the $3.0 billion revolving credit facility and the company's ability to service $3.55 billion in debt amidst potential economic slowdowns.
