NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – 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

The Company is a global enterprise and leading provider of business process services with expertise in managing operations involving high volume, repeatable and individualized interactions. The Company's portfolio covers both front office and back office operations; however, the majority of its revenue and differentiation derives from engagements where it serves on behalf of its clients to manage end-user interactions across a wide-range of domains. Examples include payments, collections, benefit administration and end-user communication services. The Company creates value for its commercial and government clients through more efficient service delivery combined with a personalized and seamless experience for the end-user. The Company applies its expertise, technology and innovation to continually modernize its offering for improved customer and constituent satisfaction and loyalty, increase process efficiency and respond rapidly to changing market dynamics.

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 (SEC). The year-end 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, 2017. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year information to conform to 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. 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, 2017.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to December 31, 2017 that were applicable and material to the Company.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, which is also referred to herein as "new revenue standard" to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and replaced all existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with one accounting model. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers largely on a disaggregated basis. The Company adopted the new revenue standard as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company is applying the new revenue standard only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption has primarily impacted the following: (1) revenue associated with postage recognized on a net basis versus previously being recognized on a gross basis; (2) the timing of revenue recognition associated with fixed fees for certain contracts with more than one performance obligation; and (3) the timing of recognition of certain pricing discounts and credits.

The Company recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $17 million as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting this new guidance. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented.

The impact of the new revenue standard for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was a decrease in Revenue of $44 million, primarily as a result of recognizing postage receipts on a net basis, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The impact of the new revenue standard, as of and for the period ended March 31, 2018, on the Company’s pre-tax income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows was not material.

Summary of Accounting Policy

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately, versus together, may require significant judgment. For instance, the Company may contract for an implementation or development project and also provide services to operate the system which the Company implements or develops over a period of time; or the Company may contract to scan, manage and store customer documents. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

8

Once the Company determines the performance obligations, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration, if any, to be included in determining the transaction price. The majority of the Company's contracts consist of fixed, variable consideration or both. Typical forms of variable consideration include variable pricing such as volume discounts, tiered and declining pricing, penalties for service level agreements, performance bonuses and credits. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. In order to determine the transaction price, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the inception of the contract, either utilizing the expected value or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company estimates variable consideration and performs a constraint analysis for these contracts on the basis of both historical information and current trends.

The Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to customers over time. Typically, the Company’s contracts include performance obligation(s) to stand-ready on a daily or monthly basis to provide services to the customers. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service. In limited circumstances, the Company also uses a cost-to-cost based input method. The Company has determined that the above methods provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to the customer.

Estimates of revenue expected to be recognized in future periods exclude unexercised customer options to purchase additional services that do not represent material rights to the customer. Customer options that do not represent a material right are only accounted for, in accordance with the new revenue standard, when the customer exercises its option to purchase additional goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for non-refundable upfront implementation fees on a straight-line basis over the period between the initiation of the services through the end of the contract terms.

When more than one party is involved in providing services to a customer, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal, and reports revenue on a gross basis, or an agent, and reports revenue on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company considers the following: if it obtains control of the specified services before they are transferred to the customer; is primarily responsible for fulfillment and inventory risk; and has discretion in establishing price.

The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. The primary revenue-based taxes are sales tax and value-added tax (VAT).

The Company's payment terms vary by type of services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain services and customer types, the Company requires payment before services are rendered.

From time to time, the Company's contracts are modified to account for additions or changes to existing performance obligations. The Company's contract modifications are generally accounted for prospectively.

Refer to Note 3 – Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's reportable segments.

The Company's contracts with customers are broadly similar in nature throughout the Company's major service lines. The following is a description of the Company's major service lines from which the Company generates revenue.

• Digital Interactions: The Company leverages technology to assist its clients with transaction processing as well as providing platform solutions.

• Customer Experience: The Company offers a range of services that help its clients support their end-users. This includes in-bound and out-bound call support spanning from simple customer care to complex technical support and patient assistance. The Company also provides multi-channel communication support (both print and digital) across a range of industries.

• Human Resource Services: The Company helps its clients support their employees at all stages of employment from initial on-boarding through retirement as well as Health Savings Account (HSA) administration. The Company offers clients a range of customized advisory, technology and administrative services that improve the ability of employees to manage their benefits, professional development and retirement planning. Also, the Company assists its clients in Workers Compensation claims management.

• Federal, State and Local Government: The Company's services include public assistance program administration such as child support, pension administration, records management, electronic benefits, eligibility and payment cards, unclaimed property, disease management and software offerings in support of federal, state and local government agencies.

• Payment Services: The Company’s payment services include Prepaid Cards, Child Support disbursements and other government support programs, disbursement of electronic payments directly to end users, collections and transfer of payments.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

• Transportation Services: The transportation services the Company offers include support for electronic toll collection, public transit, parking, photo enforcement and commercial vehicle operations.

Contract Balances

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets are the Company’s rights to consideration for services provided when the right is conditioned on something other than passage of time (for example, meeting a milestone for the right to bill under the cost-to-cost measure of progress). Contract assets are transferred to Accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Unearned income includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract, which are realized when the associated revenue is recognized under the contract.

The following table provides information about the balances of the Company's contract assets, unearned income and receivables from contract with customers:

(in millions)	March 31, 2018			January 1, 2018
Contract Assets (Unearned Income)
Current contract assets(1)	$	163		$	191
Long-term contract assets(2)	35			2
Current unearned income	(142		)	(128		)
Long-term unearned income(3)	(42		)	(46		)
Net Contract Assets (Unearned Income)	$	14		$	19
Accounts receivable, net	$	1,026		$	908

__________

(1) Prior to the adoption of the new revenue standard, these amounts were recorded in Accounts receivable, net and represented unbilled amounts.

(2) Presented in Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

(3) Presented in Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

Revenue of $83 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to the Company's unearned income at January 1, 2018. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

Estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at March 31, 2018, was approximately $2.4 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 40% and 23% of the remaining performance obligations through 2018 and 2019, respectively, with the remaining recognized thereafter.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to internal sales personnel that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts. The net book value of these costs, which were $29 million as of March 31, 2018, are included in Other current assets or Other long-term assets. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are incremental and directly related to a successful acquisition of a customer contract. These costs are amortized in Selling, general and administrative costs over the term of the contract or the estimated life of the customer relationship, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred if the amortization period of the sales commission is one year or less.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

11

Also, the Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. The net book value of these costs, which comprise set-up/transition activities, were $68 million as of March 31, 2018, and are classified in Other current assets or Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed to Cost of services as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the service to the customer. These costs are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected period of benefit.

The amount of amortization of cost incurred to obtain and fulfill a contract for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $14 million.

Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance regarding the presentation of restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Specifically, this update requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company adopted this updated accounting guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective method. The revision to prior year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from the adoption of this guidance was a reclassification in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of $25 million of restricted cash to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted

Leases: In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases except short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less). The accounting for lessors is largely unchanged. This updated guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. This guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. While we are currently evaluating the impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, we do expect a material impact to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 3 – Segment Reporting

The Company's reportable segments correspond to how we organize and manage the business and are aligned to the industries in which our clients operate.

Beginning in 2018, the Company moved the Health Enterprise business from the Other segment into the Public Sector segment. In addition, the Company moved the historical results of the divested businesses to the Other segment from both the Commercial Industries and the Public Sector segments. The prior periods presented have been revised to reflect these changes.

Our financial performance is based on Segment Profit / (Loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the following two segments:

• Commercial Industries

Note 5 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs

The Company engages in a series of restructuring programs related to downsizing its employee base, exiting certain activities, outsourcing certain internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce its cost structure and improve productivity. The implementation of the Company's strategic transformation program and various productivity initiatives have reduced the Company's real estate footprint across all geographies and segments resulting in increased lease cancellation and other related costs. Management continues to evaluate the Company's business; therefore, in future years, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives, as well as changes in previously recorded estimates, as payments are made or actions are completed. Asset impairment charges were also incurred in connection with these restructuring actions for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of these programs.

Costs associated with restructuring, including employee severance and lease termination costs, are generally recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally upon communication to the affected employees or exit from the leased facility. In those geographies where we have either a formal severance plan or a history of consistently providing severance benefits representing a substantive plan, we recognize employee severance costs when they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Note 7 – Financial Instruments

The Company is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As a part of the Company's foreign exchange risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to hedge the funding of foreign entities which have a non-dollar functional currency, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with gross notional values of approximately $137 million and $160 million, respectively. Approximately 61% of these contracts mature within three months, 15% in three to six months, 19% in six to 12 months and 5% in greater than 12 months. The majority of these foreign currency derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, income statement or cash flows for the periods presented.

Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value base on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table represents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The basis for the measurement at fair value in all cases is Level 2.

(in millions)	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Assets:
Foreign exchange contract - forward	$	1	$	2
Total Assets	$	1	$	2
Liabilities:
Foreign exchange contracts - forwards	$	1	$	1
Deferred compensation plan liabilities(1)	92		99
Total Liabilities	$	93	$	100

_____________________________

(1) In September 2017, the Company terminated the legacy deferred compensation plans (Plans) and the Company Owned Life Insurance (COLI), which held the Plans’ investments. The Company will make payments to Plan participants during the remainder of 2018.

Summary of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Accounted at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The estimated fair values of our other financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
(in millions)	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Long-term debt	1,972	2,063	1,979	2,070

The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Accounts receivable, net and Short-term debt approximate carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of Long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities (Level 2).

Note 9 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company recognized an expense related to its defined contribution plans of $8 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 10 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL)

AOCL is comprised of the following:

Note 11 – Contingencies and Litigation

As more fully discussed below, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: securities law; governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; environmental 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, 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 March 31, 2018. 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 in excess of 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 nonconsolidated 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

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

17

final 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 condensed consolidated financial position or liquidity. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had accrued its estimate of liability incurred under its indemnification arrangements and guarantees.

Litigation Against the Company

State of Texas v. Xerox Corporation, Conduent Business Services, LLC (f/k/a Xerox Business Services, LLC), Conduent State Healthcare, LLC (f/k/a Xerox State Healthcare, LLC, f/k/a ACS State Healthcare, LLC) and Conduent Incorporated:On May 9, 2014, the State of Texas, via the Texas Office of Attorney General (the “State”), filed a lawsuit in the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC and ACS State Healthcare (collectively, the "Xerox Defendants") violated the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act in the administration of its contract with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (“HHSC”). The State alleges that the Xerox Defendants made false representations of material facts regarding the processes, procedures, implementation and results regarding the prior authorization of orthodontic claims. The State seeks recovery of amounts paid for orthodontic treatment under the Texas Medicaid program for the period from approximately 2004 to 2012, three times the amount of the payments made as a result of the alleged unlawful acts, civil penalties, pre- and post-judgment interest and all costs and attorneys’ fees. The Xerox Defendants filed their Answer in June, 2014 denying all allegations. A trial date is schedule for November, 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the State notified the Xerox Defendants in the litigation discovery process that its claim is in excess of two billion dollars based primarily on the assertion of treble damages and civil penalties per illegal act for almost two hundred thousand purported illegal acts. The Xerox Defendants will forcefully contest this assertion and continue to vigorously defend themselves in this matter. We are not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of losses, if any, in excess of the thirty-eight million dollars the Company has already accrued. In the course of litigation, the Company periodically engages in discussions with the State's counsel for possible resolution of the matter. Should developments cause a change in the Company's determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or settlement for a significant amount, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Dennis Nasrawi v. Buck Consultants et al.:On October 8, 2009, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, Stanislaus County, and on November 24, 2009, the case was removed to the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division. Plaintiffs allege actuarial negligence against Buck Consultants, LLC (“Buck”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conduent, for the use of faulty actuarial assumptions in connection with the 2007 actuarial valuation for the Stanislaus County Employees Retirement Association (“StanCERA”). Plaintiffs allege that the employer contribution rate adopted by StanCERA based on Buck’s valuation was insufficient to fund the benefits promised by the County. On July 13, 2012, the Court entered its ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue in a representative capacity on behalf of all plan participants. The Court also ruled that plaintiffs had adequately pleaded their claim that Buck allegedly aided and abetted StanCERA in breaching its fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs then filed their Fifth Amended Complaint and added StanCERA to the litigation. Buck and StanCERA filed demurrers to the amended complaint. On September 13, 2012, the Court sustained both demurrers with prejudice, completely dismissing the matter and barring plaintiffs from refiling their claims. Plaintiffs appealed, and ultimately the California Court of Appeals (Sixth District) reversed the trial court’s ruling and remanded the case back to the trial court. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of parallel litigation the plaintiffs are pursuing against StanCERA. Buck will continue to aggressively defend these lawsuits. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome or loss, if any.

Conduent Business Services, LLC v. Cognizant Business Services, LLC: On April 12, 2017, Conduent Business Services LLC (“Conduent”) filed a lawsuit against Cognizant Business Services Corporation (“Cognizant”) in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York. The lawsuit relates to the Amended and Restated Master Outsourcing Services Agreement effective as of October 24, 2012, and the service delivery contracts and work orders thereunder, between Conduent and Cognizant, as amended and supplemented (the “Contract”). The Contract contains certain minimum purchase obligations by Conduent through the date of expiration. The lawsuit alleges that Cognizant committed multiple breaches of the Contract, including Cognizant’s failure to properly perform its obligations as subcontractor to Conduent under Conduent’s contract with the New York Department of Health to provide a Medicaid Management Information Systems (the “NY MMIS Contract”). In the lawsuit, Conduent seeks damages in excess of one hundred fifty million dollars. During the first quarter of 2018, Conduent provided notice to Cognizant that it was terminating the Contract for cause and recorded in the same period certain charges associated with the termination. Cognizant has asserted counterclaims against Conduent in the lawsuit seeking damages in excess of twenty-two million dollars. Conduent has responded to Cognizant’s counterclaims by denying the allegations. Conduent will continue to vigorously defend itself against the counterclaims but the Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome.

Other Matters

On January 5, 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") notified Xerox Education Services, Inc. (XES) that, in accordance with the CFPB’s discretionary Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (NORA) process, the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement is considering recommending that the CFPB take legal action against XES, alleging that XES violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act’s prohibition of unfair practices. Should the CFPB commence an action, it may seek restitution, civil monetary penalties, injunctive relief, or other corrective action. The purpose of a NORA letter is to provide a party being investigated an opportunity to present its position to the CFPB before an enforcement action is recommended or commenced. XES submitted its response to the NORA. The CFPB’s NORA stems from an inquiry that commenced in 2014 when XES received and responded to a CFPB Civil Investigative Demand containing a broad request for information. During this process, XES self-disclosed to the U.S. Department of Education and the CFPB certain adjustments of which it had become aware that had not been timely made relating to its servicing of a small percentage of third-party student loans under outsourcing arrangements for various financial institutions. The CFPB, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Justice, the New York Office of the Attorney General, the New York Department of Financial Services and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General began similar reviews. XES has cooperated and continues to fully cooperate with all regulatory agencies and resolved the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General investigation in November 2016. Both as a result of these inquiries, its own reviews of operations and work performed by external auditors, XES has identified certain other operational issues requiring remediation, and this remediation work either has commenced or will commence shortly. As it continues to wind down its business and deconvert loans to other servicers, XES continues to review its operations to determine whether any additional remediation work is necessary. The Company cannot provide assurance that the CFPB or another regulator or party will not ultimately commence a legal action against XES in in which fines, penalties or other liabilities are sought from XES, nor is the Company able to predict the likely outcome of these investigations. The Company could in future periods incur judgments or enter into settlements to resolve these investigations and there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in judgment or settlement occurs.

Other Contingencies

Certain contracts, primarily in the Company's Public Sector segment, require the Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $590 million of outstanding surety bonds used to secure its performance of contractual obligations with its clients and $340 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.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

19

In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the Company's performance of its obligations under each contract. The Company believes it has sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from its cash flow and its various credit arrangements (including its Credit Facility) to allow it to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support. The Company has service arrangements where the Company services third-party student loans in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various financial institutions. The Company services these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by the Company to a third-party. At March 31, 2018, the Company serviced a FFEL portfolio of loans with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under certain circumstances, require the Company to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by the Company's servicing error. If defaults caused by the Company are cured during an initial period, any obligation the Company may have to purchase these loans expires. Loans that the Company purchases may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and the loans repackaged for sale to third parties. The Company evaluates its exposure under its purchase obligations on defaulted loans and establishes a reserve for potential losses. The reserve is evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon management’s analysis of the historical performance of the defaulted loans. As of March 31, 2018, other current liabilities included reserves of approximately $2 million, which the Company believes to be adequate. In addition to potential purchase obligations arising from servicing errors, various laws and regulations applicable to student loan borrowers could give rise to fines, penalties and other liabilities associated with loan servicing errors.

Note 12 - Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

In December 2016, the Company issued 120 thousand shares of Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $120 million and an initial fair value of $142 million. The convertible preferred stock pays quarterly cash dividends at a rate of 8% per year ($9.6 million per year). Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 44.9438 shares of common stock for a total of 5,393 thousand shares (reflecting an initial conversion price of approximately $22.25 per share of common stock), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased, compared to the prior year period, mainly due to the impact from adopting Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" referred to herein as "new revenue standard", divestitures completed in 2017, strategic decisions by management as part of our portfolio rationalization, including exiting certain unprofitable contracts and contract losses. Partially offsetting these declines were increases from the ramp of new business and certain price increases as a result of contract remediation.

Cost of Services

Cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to cost transformation, lost business, strategic contract actions taken by management as part of portfolio management, lower volumes and divestitures completed in 2017.

Gross Margin

Decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the prior year period, was driven primarily by contract losses and lower volumes with existing clients. These were partially offset by the impact of cost and productivity improvements, including benefits from our strategic transformation program and exiting or remediating certain underperforming contracts.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)

Lower SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the prior year period, reflected the impact of our strategic transformation initiatives on corporate and other general and administrative spend, partially offset by the expansion and investment in our sales force.

Restructuring and Related Costs

Restructuring and related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018, include $5 million of lease cancellation costs as part of our effort to consolidate our real estate footprint and $14 million of severance costs due to headcount reductions of approximately 740 employees worldwide.

Refer to Note 5 – Restructuring Programs and Related Costs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.

(Gain) Loss on Divestitures and Transaction Costs

Increase in loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the prior year period, was driven primarily by transaction costs.

Litigation Costs (Recoveries), Net

Increase in net litigation costs was primarily due to reserves for certain terminated contracts that are subject to litigation.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform) was enacted. The income tax effects of the Tax Reform have been initially accounted for on a provisional basis pursuant to the SEC staff guidance on income taxes. Reasonable estimates for all material tax effects of the Tax Reform have been provided and adjustments to provisional amounts will be made in subsequent reporting periods as information becomes available to complete provisional computations.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

23

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 7.4%, compared with 54.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The March 31, 2018 rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the geographic mix of income and the impact of Global Intangible Low Tax Income and Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT), which reduced the tax benefit on the worldwide loss.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was higher than the statutory tax rate of 35%, primarily due to U.S. losses from amortization and restructuring that were taxed at a higher rate than our pre-tax income from foreign operations.

Excluding charges for amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and divestiture related costs and the impact of BEAT, the normalized effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 34.7%. The normalized effective tax rate was 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, predominately from the exclusion of amortization of intangible assets and restructuring costs.

Operations Review of Segment Revenue and Profit

Our reportable segments correspond to how we organize and manage the business and are aligned to the industries in which our clients operate.

Beginning in 2018, the Company moved the Health Enterprise business from Other segment into Public Sector segment. In addition, the Company moved the divested businesses' historical results to Other segment from both the Commercial Industries and the Public Sector segments.

Our financial performance is based on Segment Profit / (Loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the following two segments:

• Commercial Industries, and

• Public Sector.

Other segment includes our Student Loan business, which is in run-off mode, and divested businesses in 2017.

Revenues by segment were:

(in millions)	Commercial Industries			Public Sector			Other			Total
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Total Revenue	$	854		$	558		$	8		$	1,420

Commercial Industries Segment

Revenue

Commercial Industries revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased compared to prior year period, primarily driven by strategic contract actions and the impact of the new revenue standard, partially offset by revenue from new contracts and price increases from existing accounts.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

Increase in the Commercial Industries segment profit and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to prior year period, was mainly driven by benefits from our strategic transformation cost initiatives and from new business, partially offset by the overall revenue decline from existing clients and investments, primarily in technology and sales force.

Public Sector Segment

Revenue

Public Sector revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, decreased compared to prior year period, primarily driven by strategic contract actions and the impact of the new revenue standard, contract losses and lower volumes, partially offset by certain price increases as a result of contract remediation.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

Increase in the Public Sector segment profit and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to prior year period, were mainly driven by benefits from our strategic transformation cost initiatives and contract remediation, partially offset by the overall revenue decline from existing clients and investment, primarily in technology and sales force.

Other Segment

Revenue

Other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased compared to prior year period, driven mainly by the divestitures completed in 2017 and the run-off of our Student Loan business.

Segment Profit (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA

Other segment loss and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were primarily due to divestitures completed in 2017 and the run-off of our Student Loan business.

Metrics

Signings

Signings are defined as estimated future revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of existing contracts. Total Contract Value (TCV) is the estimated total contractual revenue related to signed contracts. The amounts in the following table reflect the impact of our adoption of the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018. Refer to Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the estimated impact of the adoption of this standard.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

Signings for the three months ended March 31, were:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				2018 vs. 2017
(in millions)	2018		2017		$ Change			% Change
New business TCV	$	406	$	530	$	(124	)	(23	)%
Renewals TCV	1,022		401		621			155	%
Total Signings	$	1,428	$	931	$	497		53	%
Annual recurring revenue signings	$	93	$	143	$	(50	)	(35	)%
Non-recurring revenue signings	$	63	$	92	$	(29	)	(32	)%

Signings for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased, compared to the prior year, mainly due to increased renewal activities, partially offset by new business signings decline.

Renewal Rate

Renewal rate is defined as the annual recurring revenue (ARR) on contracts that are renewed during the period as a percentage of ARR on all contracts for which a renewal decision was made during the period, excluding any contracts that were not renewed and where a strategic action to improve the risk or profitability had been initiated.

Excluding our strategic decision not to renew certain contracts, renewal rate for three months ended March 31, 2018 was 94%.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, total cash and cash equivalents were $553 million and $658 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, there were $1.6 billion outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table summarizes our cash flows, as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2018			2017			Better (Worse)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(38	)	$	(107	)	$	69
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	(39		)	(25		)	(14		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(27		)	(6		)	(21		)

Operating activities:The increase in cash generated from operating activities was primarily attributable to improvements in working capital and lower Health Enterprise wind-down payments, partially offset by payments for prepaid software licenses.

Investing activities: The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased spending for capital expenditures.

Financing activities: The increase in cash used from financing activities was related to net debt repayments.

Market Risk Management

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates.

Recent market events have not caused us to materially modify nor change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 7 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our results using the non-GAAP measures described below.

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 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 current periods’ results against the corresponding prior periods’ results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions and providing such non-GAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as the 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 these non-GAAP measures.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided in the tables below.

These reconciliations also include the income tax effects of our non-GAAP performance measures in total, to the extent applicable. The income tax effects are calculated under the same accounting principles as applied to our reported pre-tax performance measures under ASC 740, which employs an annual effective tax rate method to the results including an adjustment for estimated BEAT. The income tax effect for our non-GAAP performance measures is effectively the difference in income taxes for reported and adjusted pre-tax income calculated under the annual effective tax rate method. The tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments was calculated based upon evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable statutory tax rate in the jurisdictions in which such charges were incurred.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

We made adjustments to Income (Loss) before Income Taxes for the following items for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate:

• Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The amortization of acquired intangible assets is driven by acquisition activity, which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period.

• NY MMIS. Costs associated with the Company not fully completing the State of New York Health Enterprise Platform project.

• Restructuring and related costs. Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our strategic transformation program.

• HE charge. Costs associated with not fully completing the Health Enterprise Medical platform projects in California and Montana.

Conduent 2018 Q1 Form 10-Q

27

• Separation costs. Separation costs are expenses incurred in connection with separation from Xerox Corporation into a separate, independent, publicly traded company. These costs primarily relate to third-party investment banking, accounting, legal, consulting and other similar types of services related to the separation transaction as well as costs associated with the operational separation of the two companies.

• (Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs.

• Litigation costs (recoveries), net.

• Other (income) expenses, net. Other (income) expenses, net includes currency (gains) losses, net and all other (income) expenses, net.

The Company provides adjusted net income and adjusted EPS financial measures to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or non-recurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance.  We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions.

Management believes that adjusted effective tax rate, provided as supplemental information, facilitates a comparison by investors of our actual effective tax rate with an adjusted effective tax rate which reflects the impact of the items which are excluded in providing adjusted net income, and may provide added insight into our underlying business results and how effective tax rates impact our ongoing business.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as additional way of assessing certain aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our on-going business. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for the following items:

• Restructuring and related costs.

• Amortization of acquired intangible assets.

• Interest expense. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs.

• Separation costs.

• (Gain) loss on divestitures and transaction costs.

• Litigation costs (recoveries), net.

• Other (income) expenses, net.

• NY MMIS.

• HE charge.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performances. Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Conduent's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO

CONDUENT INCORPORATED PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

AGREEMENT, by Conduent Incorporated, a New York corporation (the "Company"), dated as of the date that appears in the award summary that provides the number of Restricted Stock Units and vesting provisions of the award (the "Award Summary"), in favor of the individual whose name appears on the Award Summary (the "Employee"), who is an employee of the Company, one of the Company's subsidiaries or one of its affiliates (the Company, or such subsidiary or affiliate, the "Employer").

In accordance with the provisions of the Conduent Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee") or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO") has authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Terms used herein that are defined in the Plan or in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan or this Agreement, respectively.

The Award Summary contains the details of the awards covered by this Agreement and is incorporated herein in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the Company agrees as follows:

AWARDS

1.Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company has awarded to the Employee on the date indicated on the Award Summary the number of Restricted Stock Units (individually, a "RSU") as shown on the Award Summary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only active employees and those employees on Short Term Disability Leave, Social Service Leave, Family Medical Leave or Paid Uniform Services Leave (pursuant to the Company's Human Resources Policies or similar policies of the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates) on the effective date of the award as shown on the Award Summary shall be eligible to receive the award.

TERMS OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.Entitlement to Shares. As soon as practicable on or after each applicable Vesting Date (as defined below) (or such earlier date provided in Section 9), the Company shall deliver to the Employee, in such manner as the Company shall determine, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs (subject to reduction for withholding of the Employee's taxes in relation to the award as described in Section 11) within 60 days following each applicable Vesting Date (or, if earlier, a distribution event set forth in Section 9 that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code).

No fractional shares shall be issued as a result of such tax withholding. Instead, the Company shall apply the equivalent of any fractional share amount to amounts withheld for taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to delay delivery of such shares of Common Stock (or cash payment in lieu thereof, as applicable) until it shall have received from the Employee a duly executed Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, and any other information or completed forms the Company may reasonably require.

3.Vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (subject to Section 23 of the Plan) or as otherwise provided in this Section 3 or Section 9, the vesting of RSUs covered hereby shall be subject to the Employee's continued employment with the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate through the applicable Vesting Date. The Employee shall be eligible to vest in one-third of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Agreement as set forth in the Award Summary on each of December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 (each, a "Vesting Date").

EXHIBIT 10.6(a)(vii)

Upon the occurrence of an event constituting a Change in Control, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 22(b) of the Plan, the RS Us outstanding on the date of such Change in Control, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall remain outstanding and thereafter the vesting of such RSUs, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall be subject to Employee's continued employment with the Company or a subsidiary or an affiliate through each applicable Vesting Date as provided in this Section 3, at which time such RSUs shall vest and shall be paid in cash in accordance with Section 22(f) of the Plan at the earliest time set forth in Section 22(c) of the Plan that will not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee; provided that the RSUs, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall vest and shall be paid to the extent provided in Section 9 in the event of the Employee's termination of employment following such Change in Control and prior to a Vesting Date. Upon payment pursuant to the terms of the Plan, such awards shall be cancelled.

4.Dividend Equivalents. The Employee shall become entitled to receive from the Company on each applicable Vesting Date (or such earlier date provided in Section 9) a cash payment equaling the same amount(s) that the holder of record of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs (if any) would have been entitled to receive as dividends on such Common Stock during the period commencing on the effective date hereof and ending on each applicable Vesting Date (or such earlier date provided in Section 9) as provided under Section 3. Payments under this Section shall be net of any required withholding taxes.

OTHER TERMS

Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to the Employee or for the Employee's benefit under this Agreement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Employee to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A. In any case, the Employee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on the Employee or for the Employee's account in connection with this Agreement (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Employee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

26.Separability. In case any provision in the Agreement, or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions in the Agreement, or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

27.Integration of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto.

28.Appendix for Non-U.S. Countries. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the PS award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix to this Agreement for the Employee's country (the "Appendix"). Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

The Committee or its authorized delegate, as applicable, reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation in the Plan, on the PSs and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Committee or its authorized delegate, as applicable, determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Summarized below are the accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to December 31, 2017 that were applicable and material to the Company.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, which is also referred to herein as "new revenue standard" to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and replaced all existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with one accounting model. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers largely on a disaggregated basis. The Company adopted the new revenue standard as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company is applying the new revenue standard only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption has primarily impacted the following: (1) revenue associated with postage recognized on a net basis versus previously being recognized on a gross basis; (2) the timing of revenue recognition associated with fixed fees for certain contracts with more than one performance obligation; and (3) the timing of recognition of certain pricing discounts and credits.

The Company recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $17 million as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting this new guidance. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented.

The impact of the new revenue standard for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was a decrease in Revenue of $44 million, primarily as a result of recognizing postage receipts on a net basis, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The impact of the new revenue standard, as of and for the period ended March 31, 2018, on the Company’s pre-tax income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows was not material.

Summary of Accounting Policy

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately, versus together, may require significant judgment. For instance, the Company may contract for an implementation or development project and also provide services to operate the system which the Company implements or develops over a period of time; or the Company may contract to scan, manage and store customer documents. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin.

Once the Company determines the performance obligations, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration, if any, to be included in determining the transaction price. The majority of the Company's contracts consist of fixed, variable consideration or both. Typical forms of variable consideration include variable pricing such as volume discounts, tiered and declining pricing, penalties for service level agreements, performance bonuses and credits. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. In order to determine the transaction price, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the inception of the contract, either utilizing the expected value or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company estimates variable consideration and performs a constraint analysis for these contracts on the basis of both historical information and current trends.

The Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to customers over time. Typically, the Company’s contracts include performance obligation(s) to stand-ready on a daily or monthly basis to provide services to the customers. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service. In limited circumstances, the Company also uses a cost-to-cost based input method. The Company has determined that the above methods provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to the customer.

Estimates of revenue expected to be recognized in future periods exclude unexercised customer options to purchase additional services that do not represent material rights to the customer. Customer options that do not represent a material right are only accounted for, in accordance with the new revenue standard, when the customer exercises its option to purchase additional goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for non-refundable upfront implementation fees on a straight-line basis over the period between the initiation of the services through the end of the contract terms.

When more than one party is involved in providing services to a customer, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal, and reports revenue on a gross basis, or an agent, and reports revenue on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company considers the following: if it obtains control of the specified services before they are transferred to the customer; is primarily responsible for fulfillment and inventory risk; and has discretion in establishing price.

The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. The primary revenue-based taxes are sales tax and value-added tax (VAT).

The Company's payment terms vary by type of services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain services and customer types, the Company requires payment before services are rendered.

From time to time, the Company's contracts are modified to account for additions or changes to existing performance obligations. The Company's contract modifications are generally accounted for prospectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major service line and timing of revenue recognition, as well as a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with reportable segments:

Refer to Note 3 – Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's reportable segments.

The Company's contracts with customers are broadly similar in nature throughout the Company's major service lines. The following is a description of the Company's major service lines from which the Company generates revenue.

• Digital Interactions: The Company leverages technology to assist its clients with transaction processing as well as providing platform solutions.

• Customer Experience: The Company offers a range of services that help its clients support their end-users. This includes in-bound and out-bound call support spanning from simple customer care to complex technical support and patient assistance. The Company also provides multi-channel communication support (both print and digital) across a range of industries.

• Human Resource Services: The Company helps its clients support their employees at all stages of employment from initial on-boarding through retirement as well as Health Savings Account (HSA) administration. The Company offers clients a range of customized advisory, technology and administrative services that improve the ability of employees to manage their benefits, professional development and retirement planning. Also, the Company assists its clients in Workers Compensation claims management.

• Federal, State and Local Government: The Company's services include public assistance program administration such as child support, pension administration, records management, electronic benefits, eligibility and payment cards, unclaimed property, disease management and software offerings in support of federal, state and local government agencies.

• Payment Services: The Company’s payment services include Prepaid Cards, Child Support disbursements and other government support programs, disbursement of electronic payments directly to end users, collections and transfer of payments.

• Transportation Services: The transportation services the Company offers include support for electronic toll collection, public transit, parking, photo enforcement and commercial vehicle operations.

Contract Balances

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets are the Company’s rights to consideration for services provided when the right is conditioned on something other than passage of time (for example, meeting a milestone for the right to bill under the cost-to-cost measure of progress). Contract assets are transferred to Accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Unearned income includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract, which are realized when the associated revenue is recognized under the contract.

The following table provides information about the balances of the Company's contract assets, unearned income and receivables from contract with customers:

(in millions)	March 31, 2018			January 1, 2018
Contract Assets (Unearned Income)
Current contract assets(1)	$	163		$	191
Long-term contract assets(2)	35			2
Current unearned income	(142		)	(128		)
Long-term unearned income(3)	(42		)	(46		)
Net Contract Assets (Unearned Income)	$	14		$	19
Accounts receivable, net	$	1,026		$	908

(1) Prior to the adoption of the new revenue standard, these amounts were recorded in Accounts receivable, net and represented unbilled amounts.

(2) Presented in Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

(3) Presented in Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

Revenue of $83 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to the Company's unearned income at January 1, 2018. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

Estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at March 31, 2018, was approximately $2.4 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 40% and 23% of the remaining performance obligations through 2018 and 2019, respectively, with the remaining recognized thereafter.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to internal sales personnel that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts. The net book value of these costs, which were $29 million as of March 31, 2018, are included in Other current assets or Other long-term assets. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are incremental and directly related to a successful acquisition of a customer contract. These costs are amortized in Selling, general and administrative costs over the term of the contract or the estimated life of the customer relationship, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred if the amortization period of the sales commission is one year or less.

Also, the Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. The net book value of these costs, which comprise set-up/transition activities, were $68 million as of March 31, 2018, and are classified in Other current assets or Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed to Cost of services as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the service to the customer. These costs are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected period of benefit.

The amount of amortization of cost incurred to obtain and fulfill a contract for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $14 million.

Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance regarding the presentation of restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Specifically, this update requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company adopted this updated accounting guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective method. The revision to prior year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from the adoption of this guidance was a reclassification in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of $25 million of restricted cash to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted

Leases: In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases except short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less). The accounting for lessors is largely unchanged. This updated guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. This guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. While we are currently evaluating the impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, we do expect a material impact to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring Programs

Restructuring Programs and Related Costs

The Company engages in a series of restructuring programs related to downsizing its employee base, exiting certain activities, outsourcing certain internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce its cost structure and improve productivity. The implementation of the Company's strategic transformation program and various productivity initiatives have reduced the Company's real estate footprint across all geographies and segments resulting in increased lease cancellation and other related costs. Management continues to evaluate the Company's business; therefore, in future years, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives, as well as changes in previously recorded estimates, as payments are made or actions are completed. Asset impairment charges were also incurred in connection with these restructuring actions for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of these programs.

Costs associated with restructuring, including employee severance and lease termination costs, are generally recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally upon communication to the affected employees or exit from the leased facility. In those geographies where we have either a formal severance plan or a history of consistently providing severance benefits representing a substantive plan, we recognize employee severance costs when they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

A summary of the Company's restructuring program activity during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was as follows:

(in millions)	Severance and Related Costs			Lease Cancellation and Other Costs			Total

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The Company is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As a part of the Company's foreign exchange risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to hedge the funding of foreign entities which have a non-dollar functional currency, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts with gross notional values of approximately $137 million and $160 million, respectively. Approximately 61% of these contracts mature within three months, 15% in three to six months, 19% in six to 12 months and 5% in greater than 12 months. The majority of these foreign currency derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, income statement or cash flows for the periods presented.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value base on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table represents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The basis for the measurement at fair value in all cases is Level 2.

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: securities law; governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; environmental 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, 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 March 31, 2018. 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 in excess of 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 nonconsolidated 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 final 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 condensed consolidated financial position or liquidity. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had accrued its estimate of liability incurred under its indemnification arrangements and guarantees.

Litigation Against the Company

State of Texas v. Xerox Corporation, Conduent Business Services, LLC (f/k/a Xerox Business Services, LLC), Conduent State Healthcare, LLC (f/k/a Xerox State Healthcare, LLC, f/k/a ACS State Healthcare, LLC) and Conduent Incorporated:On May 9, 2014, the State of Texas, via the Texas Office of Attorney General (the “State”), filed a lawsuit in the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC and ACS State Healthcare (collectively, the "Xerox Defendants") violated the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act in the administration of its contract with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (“HHSC”). The State alleges that the Xerox Defendants made false representations of material facts regarding the processes, procedures, implementation and results regarding the prior authorization of orthodontic claims. The State seeks recovery of amounts paid for orthodontic treatment under the Texas Medicaid program for the period from approximately 2004 to 2012, three times the amount of the payments made as a result of the alleged unlawful acts, civil penalties, pre- and post-judgment interest and all costs and attorneys’ fees. The Xerox Defendants filed their Answer in June, 2014 denying all allegations. A trial date is schedule for November, 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the State notified the Xerox Defendants in the litigation discovery process that its claim is in excess of two billion dollars based primarily on the assertion of treble damages and civil penalties per illegal act for almost two hundred thousand purported illegal acts. The Xerox Defendants will forcefully contest this assertion and continue to vigorously defend themselves in this matter. We are not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of losses, if any, in excess of the thirty-eight million dollars the Company has already accrued. In the course of litigation, the Company periodically engages in discussions with the State's counsel for possible resolution of the matter. Should developments cause a change in the Company's determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or settlement for a significant amount, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Dennis Nasrawi v. Buck Consultants et al.:On October 8, 2009, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, Stanislaus County, and on November 24, 2009, the case was removed to the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division. Plaintiffs allege actuarial negligence against Buck Consultants, LLC (“Buck”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conduent, for the use of faulty actuarial assumptions in connection with the 2007 actuarial valuation for the Stanislaus County Employees Retirement Association (“StanCERA”). Plaintiffs allege that the employer contribution rate adopted by StanCERA based on Buck’s valuation was insufficient to fund the benefits promised by the County. On July 13, 2012, the Court entered its ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue in a representative capacity on behalf of all plan participants. The Court also ruled that plaintiffs had adequately pleaded their claim that Buck allegedly aided and abetted StanCERA in breaching its fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs then filed their Fifth Amended Complaint and added StanCERA to the litigation. Buck and StanCERA filed demurrers to the amended complaint. On September 13, 2012, the Court sustained both demurrers with prejudice, completely dismissing the matter and barring plaintiffs from refiling their claims. Plaintiffs appealed, and ultimately the California Court of Appeals (Sixth District) reversed the trial court’s ruling and remanded the case back to the trial court. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of parallel litigation the plaintiffs are pursuing against StanCERA. Buck will continue to aggressively defend these lawsuits. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome or loss, if any.

Conduent Business Services, LLC v. Cognizant Business Services, LLC: On April 12, 2017, Conduent Business Services LLC (“Conduent”) filed a lawsuit against Cognizant Business Services Corporation (“Cognizant”) in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York. The lawsuit relates to the Amended and Restated Master Outsourcing Services Agreement effective as of October 24, 2012, and the service delivery contracts and work orders thereunder, between Conduent and Cognizant, as amended and supplemented (the “Contract”). The Contract contains certain minimum purchase obligations by Conduent through the date of expiration. The lawsuit alleges that Cognizant committed multiple breaches of the Contract, including Cognizant’s failure to properly perform its obligations as subcontractor to Conduent under Conduent’s contract with the New York Department of Health to provide a Medicaid Management Information Systems (the “NY MMIS Contract”). In the lawsuit, Conduent seeks damages in excess of one hundred fifty million dollars. During the first quarter of 2018, Conduent provided notice to Cognizant that it was terminating the Contract for cause and recorded in the same period certain charges associated with the termination. Cognizant has asserted counterclaims against Conduent in the lawsuit seeking damages in excess of twenty-two million dollars. Conduent has responded to Cognizant’s counterclaims by denying the allegations. Conduent will continue to vigorously defend itself against the counterclaims but the Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or reasonably provide an estimate or range of estimate of the possible outcome.

Other Matters

On January 5, 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") notified Xerox Education Services, Inc. (XES) that, in accordance with the CFPB’s discretionary Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (NORA) process, the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement is considering recommending that the CFPB take legal action against XES, alleging that XES violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act’s prohibition of unfair practices. Should the CFPB commence an action, it may seek restitution, civil monetary penalties, injunctive relief, or other corrective action. The purpose of a NORA letter is to provide a party being investigated an opportunity to present its position to the CFPB before an enforcement action is recommended or commenced. XES submitted its response to the NORA. The CFPB’s NORA stems from an inquiry that commenced in 2014 when XES received and responded to a CFPB Civil Investigative Demand containing a broad request for information. During this process, XES self-disclosed to the U.S. Department of Education and the CFPB certain adjustments of which it had become aware that had not been timely made relating to its servicing of a small percentage of third-party student loans under outsourcing arrangements for various financial institutions. The CFPB, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Justice, the New York Office of the Attorney General, the New York Department of Financial Services and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General began similar reviews. XES has cooperated and continues to fully cooperate with all regulatory agencies and resolved the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General investigation in November 2016. Both as a result of these inquiries, its own reviews of operations and work performed by external auditors, XES has identified certain other operational issues requiring remediation, and this remediation work either has commenced or will commence shortly. As it continues to wind down its business and deconvert loans to other servicers, XES continues to review its operations to determine whether any additional remediation work is necessary. The Company cannot provide assurance that the CFPB or another regulator or party will not ultimately commence a legal action against XES in in which fines, penalties or other liabilities are sought from XES, nor is the Company able to predict the likely outcome of these investigations. The Company could in future periods incur judgments or enter into settlements to resolve these investigations and there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in judgment or settlement occurs.

Other Contingencies

Certain contracts, primarily in the Company's Public Sector segment, require the Company to provide a surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $590 million of outstanding surety bonds used to secure its performance of contractual obligations with its clients and $340 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 the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the Company's performance of its obligations under each contract. The Company believes it has sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from its cash flow and its various credit arrangements (including its Credit Facility) to allow it to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support. The Company has service arrangements where the Company services third-party student loans in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various financial institutions. The Company services these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by the Company to a third-party. At March 31, 2018, the Company serviced a FFEL portfolio of loans with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under certain circumstances, require the Company to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by the Company's servicing error. If defaults caused by the Company are cured during an initial period, any obligation the Company may have to purchase these loans expires. Loans that the Company purchases may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and the loans repackaged for sale to third parties. The Company evaluates its exposure under its purchase obligations on defaulted loans and establishes a reserve for potential losses. The reserve is evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon management’s analysis of the historical performance of the defaulted loans. As of March 31, 2018, other current liabilities included reserves of approximately $2 million, which the Company believes to be adequate. In addition to potential purchase obligations arising from servicing errors, various laws and regulations applicable to student loan borrowers could give rise to fines, penalties and other liabilities associated with loan servicing errors.
