ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements. It contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

The following discussion compares our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023. The discussion comparing our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022 is included within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 29, 2024, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Certain comparisons of the year-over-year changes in revenue and cost of revenue in the discussion of our results of operations for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 include a supplemental comparison as if the Webhelp Combination had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2023. These supplemental comparisons can be identified by the language “if the Webhelp Combination had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2023”. The amounts used in these supplemental comparisons were determined by adding (a) the Webhelp results of operations for the relevant period in fiscal year 2023 prior to the Webhelp Combination and making reclassification and adjustments of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for the periods, consistent with the adjustments made in our unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024 and (b) the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the relevant period in fiscal year 2023. We believe the presentation of this supplemental information is useful because the Webhelp Combination had a significant impact on revenue and cost of revenue for the post-acquisition period and the supplemental comparison enables readers to better understand changes in the combined business. These supplemental comparisons are provided for informational purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the Webhelp Combination actually occurred as of the beginning of the period referenced.

Unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “Concentrix,” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to Concentrix Corporation and its subsidiaries.

and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity. For more information on the risks associated with our business, please see “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Webhelp Combination

On September 25, 2023, we completed our acquisition (the “Webhelp Combination”) of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Shares”) of Marnix Lux SA, a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Webhelp Parent”) and the parent company of the Webhelp business (“Webhelp”), from the holders thereof (the “Sellers”). Webhelp was a leading provider of CX solutions, including sales, marketing, and payment services, with significant operations and client relationships in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2023, as amended by First Amendment to Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2023 by and among Concentrix, OSYRIS S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Concentrix Corporation, Webhelp Parent, the Sellers, and certain representatives of the Sellers.

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of the Shares is valued at approximately $3,774.8 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

We generate revenue through the provision of technology and services to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.

Our technology and services are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 97% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our technology and services. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the technology and services, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.

In fiscal years 2024 and 2023, approximately 88% and 82%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 50% and 64%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars. We expect that a significant amount of our revenue will continue to be generated from our non-U.S. operations while being priced in U.S. dollars. As a result, we have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the euro, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs, and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.

Margins

Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our technology and services are delivered, client volume trends, the amount of lead time that is required for programs to become fully scaled, and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates

32

Table of Contents

based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are generally able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs as our volumes increase.

Economic and Industry Trends

The industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities and quality of services. Further, there can be competitive pressure for labor in various markets, which could result in increased labor costs. Accordingly, we could be subject to pricing and labor cost pressures and may experience a decrease in revenue and operating income. Our business operates globally in over 70 countries across six continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Brazil, the United States, Egypt, Türkiye, Colombia, Malaysia, Morocco, China, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere throughout EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we would be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Seasonality

Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year than in any other fiscal quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from our client contracts over time as the promised technology and services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the technology and services. We recognize revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us as we perform the services. We account for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and the consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. We generally invoice a client after the performance of services, or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, our contracts consist of a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).

Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors. Certain contracts may be based on a fixed price. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time using an input measure or on a straight line basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided based on the nature of the contract.

Certain client contracts include additional payments from the client based upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. Certain contracts also provide for a reduction in consideration paid to the Company in the event that certain agreed-upon service levels or performance metrics are not achieved.

33

Table of Contents

Revenue based on such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is unlikely that a significant reversal will occur.

Business Combinations

We continually seek to augment organic growth with strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our existing capabilities. Recent acquisitions have sought to enhance our capabilities and domain expertise in our strategic industry verticals, expand our geographic footprint, and further expand into higher value service offerings.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities may involve engaging independent third parties to perform an appraisal. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth rates and margins, attrition rates and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions we believe a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available.

Goodwill

As of November 30, 2024, we had goodwill of $4,987.0 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level in the fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative analysis. If the qualitative analysis is elected, goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If we elect to perform or are required to perform a quantitative analysis, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. As of September 1, 2024, the date of our annual impairment testing, we reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit to our market capitalization. The result of the analysis demonstrated that our reporting unit’s fair value was in excess of its carrying value.

Due to a decrease in our stock price subsequent to our annual impairment testing date that resulted in our market capitalization being less than the carrying value of our reporting unit prior to a control premium, we evaluated this as a potential indicator of impairment and performed an additional quantitative analysis later in the fourth quarter of 2024 (on November 1, 2024) to support the fair value of our reporting unit. The fair value of our reporting unit was estimated using an equal weighting of the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach applied a fair value methodology to our reporting unit based on discounted cash flows. This analysis requires significant judgments and assumptions, including estimation of our future cash flows, which is dependent on internally developed forecasts, including future levels of revenue growth, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business and determination of a discount rate. The discount rate assumption is based on the overall after-tax rate of return required by a market participant whose weighted-average cost of capital includes both equity and debt, including a risk premium. The discount rate may be impacted by adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment, volatility in the equity and debt markets or other factors. We also applied a market approach. Under the market approach, we utilized a guideline company method, which involves calculating valuation multiples based on financial data from comparable publicly traded companies and considerations of recent transactions in the technology industry. Multiples derived from these companies and transactions provide an indication of how much a knowledgeable investor in the marketplace would be willing to pay for a company. These multiples are then applied to the financial data for our

34

Table of Contents

reporting unit to arrive at an indication of fair value. The market multiple was applied to adjusted EBITDA. Based on our 2024 impairment assessment as described, the fair value of our reporting unit was determined to exceed the carrying value, resulting in no impairment to goodwill. The estimated fair value was in excess of the carrying value by approximately 10%.

Based upon a sensitivity analysis the Company performed:

•A 180-basis point reduction in projected EBITDA margin in 2025 and beyond, assuming all other assumptions remained constant, would result in no impairment of goodwill.

•A 180-basis point increase in the discount rate utilized, assuming all other assumptions remained constant, would result in no impairment of goodwill.

•A 500-basis point change in the long-term rate of growth utilized, assuming all other assumptions remained constant, would result in no impairment of goodwill.

We also assessed the reasonableness of the fair value of our reporting unit by comparison to our market capitalization. As of November 1, 2024, we reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit to our market capitalization. This reconciliation resulted in an equity control premium of approximately 56%, using average market prices over a reasonable period of time in the fourth quarter leading up to such date. This control premium is supported by recent market transactions and transactions within the technology industry.

We recorded no impairment charges related to goodwill during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023. Adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate the reporting unit fair value and could result in a further decrease in fair value that could trigger a future impairment charge of the goodwill balance.

Other Intangible Assets

As of November 30, 2024, we had other intangible assets, net of amortization, of $2,286.9 million. This amount consists primarily of $2,195.1 million in client relationship intangible assets. As amortizable intangible assets, we evaluate the intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying value (an indicator of impairment). If an impairment indicator is present, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying values of the related assets. We recorded no impairment charges related to other intangible assets during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenue

We generate revenue by delivering our technology and services to our clients categorized in the above primary industry verticals. Our solutions focus on customer engagement, process optimization, and back-office automation.

Our revenue increased 35.2% in fiscal year 2024, primarily as a result of the Webhelp Combination. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable translation effect of foreign currencies of $66.3 million, or 0.9%. The unfavorable foreign currency translation effect on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the Argentine peso and Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. If the Webhelp Combination had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2023, our revenue would have increased by 1.4% in fiscal year 2024.

Revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical increased over the prior year due to contributions as a result of the Webhelp Combination and increases in volumes from several social media and internet-related service clients. Revenue in our retail, travel and e-commerce vertical increased over the prior year, and most significantly in comparison to all verticals, due to the Webhelp Combination generating larger increases in revenue along with increased volumes from several of our largest retail and e-commerce and travel and tourism clients. Revenue in our communications and media vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions as a result of the Webhelp Combination partially offset by decreases in volumes from several clients. Revenue from clients in the banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions as a result of the Webhelp Combination. Revenue in our healthcare vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions as a result of the Webhelp Combination partially offset by decreases in volumes

36

from several healthcare clients. Revenue in our other vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from the Webhelp Combination.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.

Our cost of revenue increased by 36.0% in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, primarily due to the increase in our revenue and personnel costs related to staff supporting acquired operations. These increases were partially offset by a $137.3 million, or 3.0%, reduction in the cost of revenue due to foreign currency translation. The foreign currency impacts on our cost of revenue were caused primarily by the weakening of the Argentine peso, Egyptian pound, and Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar. If the Webhelp Combination had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2023, our cost of revenue would have increased by 1.9% in fiscal year 2024.

Our gross profit increased by 33.8% in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, primarily due to the increase in revenue and contributions from acquired operations and a net favorable foreign currency impact of $71.0 million. Our gross margin percentage decreased from 36.2% in fiscal year 2023 to 35.9% in fiscal year 2024 and was affected by the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of support personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and share-based compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the cost of our global delivery facilities, utility expenses, hardware and software costs related to our technology infrastructure, legal and professional fees, depreciation on our technology and facility equipment, amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, marketing expenses, and acquisition-related and integration expenses.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 48.8% in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, primarily due to incremental expenses associated with acquired operations, increases in expenses to support our revenue growth, an increase in amortization expense of $244.1 million primarily associated with the intangible assets recognized in the Webhelp Combination, an increase in acquisition-related and integration expenses of $85.4 million primarily related to the Webhelp Combination, and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $33.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a $28.9 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses due to foreign currency translation. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 26.9% for fiscal year 2023 to 29.7% for fiscal year 2024 due to the net effect of the changes described above.

Table of Contents

Operating Income

Our operating income decreased during fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, primarily due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by the increase in gross profit.

Our operating margin decreased during fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, due to the decrease in gross margin percentage and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Interest Expense and Finance Charges, Net

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net consist primarily of interest expense on our senior notes issued in August 2023, interest expense on term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility, interest expense on borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”), interest expense on the promissory note issued by us to certain Sellers in connection with the Webhelp Combination (the “Sellers’ Note”), and financing expenses incurred in fiscal year 2023 associated with our commitment letter dated March 29, 2023 (the “Bridge Commitment Letter,” and the commitments pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, the “Bridge Facility”), entered into in connection with the Webhelp Combination.

The increase in interest expense and finance charges, net during fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on our senior notes of $98.3 million over the prior year, an increase in interest expense, including imputed interest, associated with the Sellers’ Note of $26.3 million over the prior year, and a decrease in interest income related to the senior notes proceeds of $7.8 million incurred in the prior year period that did not recur in fiscal year 2024. The senior notes and the Sellers’ Note were outstanding for only a portion of the fiscal year 2023. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in Bridge Facility financing fees and credit facility amendment fees of $22.5 million incurred in fiscal year 2023 that did not recur.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Amounts recorded as other expense (income), net primarily include foreign currency transaction gains and losses other than cash flow hedges, investment gains and losses, the non-service component of pension costs, other non-operating gains and losses, and changes in acquisition contingent consideration related to the Webhelp Combination.

Other expense (income), net in fiscal year 2024 was $24.7 million of income compared to $52.1 million of expense in fiscal year 2023. The change in other expense (income), net over the prior fiscal year period was due to income of $29.3 million during fiscal year 2024 related to the change in acquisition contingent consideration associated with the Webhelp Combination in comparison to an expense of $15.7 million in the prior fiscal year,

38

Table of Contents

resulting in a year over year change of $44.9 million. The remainder of the change resulted from a loss on derivative contracts entered into in connection with the Webhelp Combination in fiscal year 2023 of $14.6 million that did not recur and net foreign currency gains on a year-over-year basis.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions.

Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate decreased for fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023, primarily due to the geographical mix of income and higher use of net operating loss carryforwards, and a $12.3 million net tax benefit related to certain legal entity restructuring activities.

See Note 13—Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

•Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation.

•Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation (exclusive of step-up depreciation).

•Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, imputed interest related to the Sellers’ Note, change in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP net income also excludes the income tax effect of certain legal entity restructuring activity.

•Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, and adjusted free cash flow, which is free cash flow excluding the effect of changes in the outstanding factoring balance. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows because it removes the effect of factoring which changes the timing of the receipt of cash for certain receivables. However, free cash flow and adjusted cash flow have limitations because they do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.

•Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, imputed interest related to the Sellers’ Note, change in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP EPS also excludes the per share income tax effect of certain legal entity restructuring activity. Non-

39

Table of Contents

GAAP EPS excludes net income attributable to participating securities, and the per share, tax-effected impact of adjustments to net income described above that are attributable to common shareholders.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of customer relationships, technology, and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

Client Concentration

In fiscal years 2024 and 2023, no client accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash are working capital, capital expenditures to expand our delivery footprint and enhance our technology solutions, debt repayments, acquisitions, and acquisition-related and integration expenses, including in connection with our combination with Webhelp in September 2023. Our financing needs for these uses of cash have been a combination of operating cash flows and third-party debt arrangements. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable. When our revenue is increasing, our net investment in working capital typically increases. Conversely, when revenue is decreasing, our net investment in working capital typically decreases. To increase our market share and better serve our clients, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities, and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, available liquidity, including capacity on our debt arrangements, or the issuance of securities. We funded the Webhelp Combination through (i) proceeds from our August 2023 offering and sale of senior notes, (ii) term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility, and (iii) cash on hand.

In September 2021, considering our strong free cash flow, low leverage and adequate liquidity to support capital return to stockholders while maintaining flexibility to pursue acquisitions, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The share repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 2,200,819 and 709,438 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the share repurchase program

for approximately $136.1 million and $64.0 million, respectively, in the aggregate. At November 30, 2024, approximately $154.0 million remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from our board of directors.

During December 2024, we repurchased 150,563 shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million.

In January 2025, our board of directors extended our share repurchase program by authorizing an increase of the amount remaining for share repurchases under the existing share repurchase authorization to $600 million.

During fiscal years 2024 and 2023, we paid the following dividends per share approved by our board of directors:

On January 15, 2025, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.33275 per share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2025, payable on February 11, 2025.

We expect that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors’ approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

Debt Arrangements

Senior Notes

On August 2, 2023, we issued and sold (i) $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.650% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), (ii) $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.600% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and (iii) $550 million aggregate principal amount of 6.850% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were sold in a registered public offering pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3, which became effective upon filing, and a Prospectus Supplement dated July 19, 2023, to a Prospectus dated July 17, 2023.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of August 2, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between Concentrix and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2026 Notes, a second supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2028 Notes, and a third supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2033 Notes (such supplemental indentures, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains customary covenants and restrictions, including covenants that limit Concentrix Corporation’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or incur liens on shares of stock of certain subsidiaries or on principal properties, engage in sale/leaseback transactions or, with respect to Concentrix Corporation, consolidate or merge with, or sell or lease substantially all its assets to, another person. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.

In connection with the closing of the Webhelp Combination, we entered into cross-currency swap arrangements with certain financial institutions for a total notional amount of $500 million of the Senior Notes. In addition to aligning the currency of a portion of our interest payments to our euro-denominated cash flows, the arrangements effectively converted $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes into synthetic fixed euro-based debt at weighted average interest rates of 5.12% and 5.18%, respectively.

Restated Credit Facility

On April 21, 2023, we entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. to amend and restate our prior credit agreement dated as of October 16, 2020 (the “Prior Credit Facility” and as amended and restated, the “Restated Credit Facility”).

The Restated Credit Facility provides for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $1,042.5 million. The Restated Credit Facility also provides for a senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed approximately $2,144.7 million (the “Term Loan”), of which $1,850 million was incurred upon the amendment and approximately $294.7 million was drawn on a delayed draw basis (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) on the closing date of the Webhelp combination (the “Closing Date”). Aggregate borrowing capacity under the Restated Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $500 million by increasing the amount of the revolving credit facility or by incurring additional term loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Restated Credit Facility, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.

As of November 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance on the Term Loan was $1,950 million due to principal payments made subsequent to the Closing Date. During fiscal year 2024, we voluntarily prepaid $450 million of the principal balance on the Term Loan, without penalty, resulting in an outstanding balance at November 30, 2024 of approximately $1,500 million.

The maturity date of the Restated Credit Facility remains December 27, 2026, subject, in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon our prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date. Due to the voluntary prepayments previously described, no principal payment on the term loans is due until fiscal year 2026 with the remaining outstanding principal amount due in full on the maturity date.

Borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of SOFR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.125% to 2.000%, based on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money plus a credit spread adjustment to the SOFR rate of 0.10%. Borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate (but not less than 1.0%) equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) in effect on such day, (B) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.0%, and (C) the adjusted one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.125% to 1.000%, based on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money.

The Restated Credit Facility contains certain loan covenants that are customary for credit facilities of this type and that restrict our ability to take certain actions, including the creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, changes to the nature of our business, and, solely with respect to our subsidiaries, incurrence of indebtedness. In addition, the Restated Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 (or for certain periods following certain qualified acquisitions, 4.25 to 1.0) and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Restated Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix Corporation.

None of our subsidiaries guarantees the obligations under the Restated Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

Prior to entering into the Amendment Agreement, obligations under the Prior Credit Facility were secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix Corporation and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and were guaranteed by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility bore interest, in the case of term or daily SOFR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranged from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility that were base rate loans bore interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranged from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. From August 31, 2022 through the date of the Amendment Agreement, the outstanding principal of the term loans under the Prior Credit Facility was payable in quarterly installments of $26.25 million.

During fiscal year 2023, we voluntarily prepaid $25.0 million of the principal balance on the term loans under the Prior Credit Facility, without penalty.

At November 30, 2024 and 2023, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Securitization Facility

On April 25, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $500 million to up to $600 million, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from July 5, 2024 to April 24, 2026, and (iii) amend the interest rate margins, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded by certain lenders through such lenders’ issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.80% and, otherwise, at a bank rate that includes a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (subject to a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.90%.

Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. based subsidiaries sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix Corporation that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $600 million. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by our accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of our clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).

The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Restated Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix Corporation, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.

On January 14, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility to increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $600 million to up to $700 million and extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from April 24, 2026 to January 14, 2027.

Sellers’ Note

On September 25, 2023, as part of the consideration for the Webhelp Combination, we issued the Sellers’ Note in the aggregate principal amount of €700 million to certain Sellers. Pursuant to the Sellers’ Note, the unpaid principal amount outstanding accrues interest at a rate of two percent (2%) per annum, and all principal and accrued interest will be due and payable on September 25, 2025. The stated rate of interest is below our expected borrowing rate. As a result, we discounted the Sellers’ Note by €31,500. The discounted value is being amortized into interest expense over the two-year term.

As of November 30, 2024 and 2023, we were in compliance with the debt covenants related to our debt arrangements.

Cash Flows – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2024 and 2023

The following summarizes our cash flows for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, as reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $667.5 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $678.0 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities over the prior year was primarily related to a decrease in net income and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2024 was $244.3 million. The net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment of $238.8 million and payment of deferred cash consideration of $4.5 million related to the Webhelp Combination.

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2023 was $2,109.2 million. The net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of the aggregate cash paid in connection with the Webhelp Combination of approximately $1,914.1 million, purchases of property and equipment of $180.5 million, and a premium paid for call options entered into in connection with the Webhelp Combination of $14.6 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2024 was $492.5 million, consisting primarily of principal payments of $450.0 million made on term loan borrowings under our secured credit facility, share repurchases of $149.5 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, dividends paid of $83.8 million, a change in funds held for clients of $32.2 million, and cash paid related to acquired earnout liabilities of $22.7 million. These payments were partially offset by net borrowings of $242.5 million under our Securitization Facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2023 was $1,802.7 million, consisting primarily of proceeds, before expenses, of $2,137.0 million from the issuance of the Senior Notes in August 2023, proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loans of $294.7 million, partially offset by principal payments of $194.7 million made on the Term Loan, principal payments of $25.0 million made on term loan borrowings under our Prior Credit Facility, net repayments of $228.0 million under our Securitization Facility, repurchases of our common stock of $81.2 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligation, dividends of $63.5 million, and cash paid of $30.5 million related to debt issuance costs for the Senior Notes, financing fees for the Bridge Facility and amendment fees related to our Restated Credit Facility.

We believe our current cash balances and credit availability are enough to support our operating activities for the next twelve months and beyond.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measures)

Our free cash flow was $428.7 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to $497.5 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease in free cash flow in fiscal year 2024 over the prior year primarily reflects a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities and an increase in capital expenditures as a result of the full year impact of the expanded business due to the Webhelp Combination.

Our adjusted free cash flow was $474.5 million in fiscal year 2024. Adjusted free cash flow was not a non-GAAP measure utilized in fiscal year 2023 due to the absence of an active factoring program prior to the Webhelp Combination in September 2023.

Capital Resources

As of November 30, 2024, we had total liquidity of $1,512.1 million, which includes undrawn capacity on our revolving credit facility of $1,042.5 million, undrawn capacity of $229.0 million under our Securitization Facility, and cash and cash equivalents.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $240.6 million and $295.3 million as of November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, 98% and 99% were held by our non-U.S. legal entities as of November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. legal entities are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States; repatriation of some non-U.S. balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all non-U.S. cash to fund our international operations and expansions; however, we have recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities that are likely to be repatriated in the future. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the impact of the state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures, and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financing activities.

Material Cash Requirements, including Contractual Obligations to Third Parties

The following table summarizes our material cash requirements from known contractual or other obligations as of November 30, 2024 that are not disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Table of Contents

(a) Cash obligations for required interest payments on our variable-rate debt obligations at the current rates as of November 30, 2024.

(b) Includes projected contributions to achieve minimum funding objectives for our cash balance pension plan.

As of November 30, 2024, we have established a reserve of $113.0 million for unrecognized tax benefits. As we are unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement related to these unrecognized tax benefits, the table above excludes such liabilities.

We currently expect our fiscal year 2025 capital expenditures to be approximately $230 million to $250 million, which includes investments to support our growth and maintenance capital expenditures.

Webhelp Combination

On September 25, 2023, we completed our acquisition (the “Webhelp Combination”) of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Shares”) of Marnix Lux SA, a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Webhelp Parent”) and the parent company of the Webhelp business (“Webhelp”), from the holders thereof (the “Sellers”). The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2023, as amended by First Amendment to Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2023 by and among Concentrix, OSYRIS S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Concentrix Corporation, Webhelp Parent, the Sellers, and certain representatives of the Sellers.

Webhelp is a leading provider of CX solutions, including sales, marketing, and payment services, with significant operations and client relationships in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Since the closing of the Webhelp Combination, we have operated under the trade name “Concentrix + Webhelp” while we transition Webhelp operations and branding to the Concentrix name. The preliminary purchase consideration for the acquisition of the Shares is valued at approximately $3,752.4 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired.

PK Acquisition

On December 27, 2021, we completed our acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries, for total consideration of $1,573.3 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients’ customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded our scale in the digital IT services market and supported our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to our team further strengthened our capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence (“AI”), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

ServiceSource Acquisition

On July 20, 2022, we completed our acquisition of ServiceSource International, Inc. (“ServiceSource”) for total consideration of $141.5 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. ServiceSource is a global outsourced go-to-market services provider, delivering business-to-business (“B2B”) digital sales and customer success solutions that complemented our existing offerings in this area.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

We generate revenue through the provision of CX solutions and technology to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.

Our CX solutions and technology are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 97% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our solutions and technology. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the CX solutions and technology, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.

In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, approximately 82% and 78%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 64% and 68%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars. We expect that a majority of our revenue will continue to be generated from our non-U.S. operations while being priced in U.S. dollars. As a result, we have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the euro, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs and profitability

33

Table of Contents

have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.

Margins

Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our CX services and technology are delivered, client volume trends, the amount of lead time that is required for programs to become fully scaled, and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are generally able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs as our volumes increase.

Economic and Industry Trends

The CX solutions industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities and quality of services. Further, there can be competitive pressure for labor in various markets, which could result in increased labor costs. Accordingly, we could be subject to pricing and labor cost pressures and may experience a decrease in revenue and operating income. Our business operates globally in over 70 countries across six continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Brazil, the United States, Turkey, Colombia, Egypt, the United Kingdom, Morocco, China, and elsewhere throughout EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we would be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Seasonality

Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year than in any other fiscal quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from our client contracts over time as the promised services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for those services. We recognize revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us as we perform the services. We account for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payments terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. We generally invoice a client after the performance of services, or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component.

34

Table of Contents

In most cases, our contracts consist of a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).

Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors. Certain contracts may be based on a fixed price. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time using an input measure or on a straight line basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided based on the nature of the contract.

Certain client contracts include additional payments from the client based upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. Certain contracts also provide for a reduction in consideration paid to the Company in the event that certain agreed-upon service levels or performance metrics are not achieved. Revenue based on such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is unlikely that a significant reversal will occur.

Business Combinations

We continually seek to augment organic growth with strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our existing capabilities. Recent acquisitions have sought to enhance our capabilities and domain expertise in our strategic industry verticals, expand our geographic footprint, and further expand into higher value service offerings.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities may involve engaging independent third parties to perform an appraisal. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth rates and margins, attrition rates and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions we believe a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available.

Goodwill

As of November 30, 2023, we had goodwill of $5,078.7 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level in the fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative analysis. If the qualitative analysis is elected, goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If we elect to perform or are required to perform a quantitative analysis, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. As part of our fiscal year 2023 assessment, we reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit to our market capitalization. The result of the analysis demonstrated that our reporting unit’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value.

Based on our 2023 impairment assessment, we concluded that no impairment charges were necessary. We recorded no impairment charges related to goodwill during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.

Other Intangible Assets

As of November 30, 2023, we had other intangible assets, net of amortization, of $2,805.0 million. This amount consists primarily of $2,659.0 million in client relationship intangible assets. As amortizable intangible assets, we evaluate the intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying value (an indicator of impairment). If an impairment indicator is present, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying values of the related assets. We recorded no impairment charges related to other intangible assets during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022

Revenue

36

Table of Contents

We generate revenue by delivering our CX solutions and technology to our clients categorized in the above primary industry verticals. Our solutions focus on end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation, front and back office automation, analytics and business transformation services.

Our revenue increased 12.5% in fiscal year 2023, including revenue from Webhelp acquired operations of $574.4 million, or an increase of 9.1%, compared to fiscal year 2022. The increase in revenue from Webhelp acquired operations combined with higher volumes across most verticals caused the increase in our revenue compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable translation effect of foreign currencies of $56.0 million, or 0.9%. The unfavorable foreign currency translation effect on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the Argentine peso, Japanese yen and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical increased over the prior year due to contributions from acquired operations, increases in volumes from several social media and internet-related service clients and increases in volumes from a broad-based group of hardware and software clients. Revenue in our retail, travel and ecommerce vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations and increased volumes from a majority of our retail and ecommerce and travel and tourism clients. Revenue in our communications and media vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations partially offset by decreases in volumes related to several clients in this industry vertical. Revenue from clients in the banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased over the prior year due to contributions from acquired operations and increased volumes from the majority of our clients in this industry vertical. Revenue in our healthcare vertical increased over the prior year due to increased volumes from a majority of our health insurance clients and contributions from acquired operations. Revenue in our other vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations partially offset by a decrease in revenue from a government client and a few other clients in this vertical.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.

Our cost of revenue increased by 11.5% in fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, primarily due to the increase in our revenue and personnel costs related to staff supporting our acquired operations. These increases were partially offset by a $143.0 million, or 3.5%, reduction in the cost of revenue due to foreign currency translation. The foreign currency impacts on our cost of revenue were caused primarily by the weakening of the Philippine peso, Egyptian pound, Indian rupee and Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar.

Our gross profit increased by 14.2% in fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, primarily due to the increase in revenue and contributions from acquired operations and a net favorable foreign currency impact of $87.0 million. Our gross margin percentage increased from 35.7% in fiscal year 2022 to 36.2% in fiscal year 2023 and was affected by the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of support personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and share-based compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the cost of our global delivery facilities, utility expenses, hardware and software costs related to our technology infrastructure, legal and professional fees, depreciation on our technology and facility equipment, amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, marketing expenses and acquisition-related and integration expenses.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 18.5% in fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, primarily due to incremental expenses associated with acquired operations, increases in expenses to support our revenue growth, an increase in amortization expense of $52.1 million primarily associated with the intangible assets recognized in the Webhelp Combination and our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource, an increase in acquisition-related and integration expenses of $37.5 million related to the Webhelp Combination and our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource, and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $15.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a $34.5 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses due to foreign currency translation. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 25.6% for fiscal year 2022 to 26.9% for fiscal year 2023 due to the net effect of the changes described above.

Operating Income

Our operating income increased during fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, primarily due to the increase in gross profit partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our operating margin decreased during fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, due to the increase in gross margin percentage more than offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense and Finance Charges, Net

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net consist primarily of interest on term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility, interest on borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”), interest on our senior notes issued in August 2023, interest expense on the promissory note issued by us to certain Sellers in connection with the Webhelp Combination (the “Sellers’ Note”) and financing expenses associated with the commitment letter dated March 29, 2023 (the “Bridge Commitment Letter,” and the commitments pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, the “Bridge Facility”), entered into in connection with the Webhelp Combination.

The increase in interest expense and finance charges, net during fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, was due to Bridge Facility financing fees and credit facility amendment fees of $22.5 million, higher interest rates on increased outstanding term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility, higher interest rates on outstanding borrowings under our Securitization Facility, interest expense on our senior notes of $49.0 million, interest expense, including imputed interest, associated with the Sellers’ Note of $5.7 million, partially offset by interest income of $14.3 million earned on the senior notes proceeds included in cash equivalents prior to the Webhelp Combination.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Amounts recorded as other expense (income), net include foreign currency transaction gains and losses other than cash flow hedges, investment gains and losses, the non-service component of pension costs, other non-operating gains and losses, and changes in the fair value of acquisition contingent consideration related to the Webhelp Combination.

Other expense (income), net in fiscal year 2023 was $52.1 million of expense compared to $34.9 million of income in fiscal year 2022. The change in other expense (income), net was primarily due to expense associated with an increase in the fair value of the acquisition contingent consideration associated with the Webhelp Combination from the closing date of the Webhelp Combination (the “Closing Date”) to fiscal year end of $15.7 million, a loss on derivative contracts entered into in connection with the Webhelp Combination of $14.6 million, losses associated with hedges, and unfavorable foreign currency transaction changes compared to the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions.

Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate decreased for fiscal year 2023, compared to fiscal year 2022, due to the geographical mix of income that resulted in lower U.S. minimum tax related to foreign earnings and higher use of net operating loss carryforwards.

See Note 13—Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

•Revenue in constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue in constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of each fiscal year in the billing currency to U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year’s currency conversion rate. Generally, when the U.S. dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, revenue growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.

•Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation.

•Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, imputed interest related to the sellers’ note, change in the fair value of acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net.

•Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. However, free cash flow has limitations because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.

•Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, imputed interest related to the Sellers' Note,

40

Table of Contents

change in the fair value of acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP EPS excludes net income attributable to participating securities, and the per share, tax-effected impact of adjustments to net income described above reflect only those amounts that are attributable to common shareholders.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client relationships, technology and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1)    Included in these amounts are a) expensed Bridge Facility financing fees and interest expense associated with our senior notes, net of interest earned on the invested senior notes proceeds in advance of the Webhelp Combination, and b) losses associated with non-designated call option contracts put in place to hedge foreign exchange movements in connection with the Webhelp Combination that are included within interest expense and finance charges, net and other expense (income), net, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations.

(2)    The tax effect of taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments was calculated using the tax deductible portion of the expenses and applying the entity specific, statutory tax rates applicable to each item during the respective fiscal years.

(3)    Foreign currency losses (gains), net are included in other expense (income), net and primarily consist of gains and losses recognized on the revaluation and settlement of foreign currency transactions and realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The reported amounts for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023 include adjustments to exclude these foreign currency losses (gains), net, which were not adjusted in similar non-GAAP measures previously reported for the corresponding periods in fiscal year 2022. In order to enhance comparability, similar adjustments were made for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022.

Client Concentration

In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, no client accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash are working capital, capital expenditures to expand our delivery footprint and enhance our technology solutions, debt repayments and acquisitions, including our combination with Webhelp in September 2023 and our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource in fiscal year 2022. Our financing needs for these uses of cash have been a combination of operating cash flows and third-party debt arrangements. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable. When our revenue is increasing, our net investment in working capital typically increases. Conversely, when revenue is decreasing, our net investment in working capital typically decreases. To increase our market share and better serve our clients, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities, and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, available liquidity, including capacity on our debt arrangements, or the issuance of securities. We funded the Webhelp Combination through (i) proceeds from our August 2023 offering and sale of senior notes, (ii) term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility, and (iii) cash on hand.

In September 2021, considering our strong free cash flow, low leverage and adequate liquidity to support capital return to stockholders while maintaining flexibility to pursue acquisitions, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to

43

Table of Contents

$500 million of our common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The share repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased 709,438 and 841,979 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the share repurchase program for approximately $64.0 million and $120.8 million, respectively, in the aggregate. At November 30, 2023, approximately $290.1 million remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from our board of directors.

During December 2023, we repurchased 65,995 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.3 million.

During fiscal years 2023 and 2022, we paid the following dividends per share approved by our board of directors:

On January 24, 2024, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.3025 per share to stockholders of record as of February 5, 2024, payable on February 15, 2024.

We expect that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors’ approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

Debt Arrangements

Senior Notes

On August 2, 2023, we issued and sold (i) $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.650% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), (ii) $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.600% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and (iii) $550 million aggregate principal amount of 6.850% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were sold in a registered public offering pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3, which became effective upon filing, and a Prospectus Supplement dated July 19, 2023, to a Prospectus dated July 17, 2023.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of August 2, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between Concentrix and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2026 Notes, a second supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2028 Notes, and a third supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2033 Notes (such supplemental indentures, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains customary covenants and restrictions, including

44

Table of Contents

covenants that limit Concentrix Corporation’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or incur liens on shares of stock of certain subsidiaries or on principal properties, engage in sale/leaseback transactions or, with respect to Concentrix Corporation, consolidate or merge with, or sell or lease substantially all its assets to, another person. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.

In connection with the closing of the Webhelp Combination, we entered into cross-currency swap arrangements with certain financial institutions for a total notional amount of $500 million of the Senior Notes. In addition to aligning the currency of a portion of our interest payments to our euro-denominated cash flows, the arrangements effectively converted $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes into synthetic fixed euro-based debt at weighted average interest rates of 5.12% and 5.18%, respectively.

Bridge Facility and Restated Credit Facility

To provide the debt financing required to consummate the Webhelp Combination, we entered into the Bridge Commitment Letter, under which certain financing institutions committed to provide a 364-day bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5,290 million consisting of (i) a $1,850 million tranche of term bridge loans (the “Term Loan Amendment Tranche”), (ii) a $1,000 million tranche of revolving commitments (the “Revolver Amendment Tranche”) and (iii) a $2,440 million tranche of term bridge loans (the “Acquisition Tranche”), each subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the consummation of the Webhelp Combination.

The incurrence of the acquisition-related indebtedness that would be funded by the Acquisition Tranche of the Bridge Facility (or permanent financing in lieu thereof) and the Sellers’ Note was not permitted under our prior credit agreement dated as of October 16, 2020 (the “Prior Credit Facility”). Therefore, on April 21, 2023, we entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. to amend and restate the Prior Credit Facility (as amended and restated, the “Restated Credit Facility”). As a result of having entered into the Amendment Agreement, among other things, we obtained requisite lender consent to incur acquisition-related indebtedness, and pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Commitment Letter, the commitments with respect to the Term Loan Amendment Tranche and the Revolver Amendment Tranche of the Bridge Facility were each reduced to zero, and the Acquisition Tranche was reduced by approximately $294.7 million. On August 2, 2023, the remaining outstanding commitment of approximately $2.15 billion under the Bridge Commitment Letter was reduced to zero in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes.

The Restated Credit Facility provides for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $1,042.5 million. The Restated Credit Facility also provides for a senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed approximately $2,144.7 million (the “Term Loan”), of which $1,850 million was incurred upon the amendment and approximately $294.7 million was drawn on a delayed draw basis (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) on the Closing Date. Aggregate borrowing capacity under the Restated Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $500 million by increasing the amount of the revolving credit facility or by incurring additional term loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Restated Credit Facility, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, we voluntarily prepaid $194.7 million of the principal balance on the Term Loan, without penalty, resulting in an outstanding balance at November 30, 2023 of approximately $1,950 million.

The maturity date of the Restated Credit Facility remains December 27, 2026, subject, in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon our prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date. Due to the voluntary prepayments previously described, no principal payment on the term loans is due until fiscal year 2026 with the remaining outstanding principal amount due in full on the maturity date.

Borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of SOFR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.125% to

45

Table of Contents

2.000%, based on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money plus a credit spread adjustment to the SOFR rate of 0.10%. Borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate (but not less than 1.0%) equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) in effect on such day, (B) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.0%, and (C) the adjusted one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.125% to 1.000%, based on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money.

The Restated Credit Facility contains certain loan covenants that are customary for credit facilities of this type and that restrict our ability to take certain actions, including the creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, changes to the nature of our business, and, solely with respect to our subsidiaries, incurrence of indebtedness. In addition, the Restated Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 (or for certain periods following certain qualified acquisitions, including the Webhelp Combination, 4.25 to 1.0) and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Restated Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix Corporation.

None of our subsidiaries guarantees the obligations under the Restated Credit Facility.

Prior to entering into the Amendment Agreement, obligations under the Prior Credit Facility were secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix Corporation and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and were guaranteed by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility bore interest, in the case of term or daily SOFR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranged from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility that were base rate loans bore interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranged from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. From August 31, 2022 through the date of the Amendment Agreement, the outstanding principal of the term loans under the Prior Credit Facility was payable in quarterly installments of $26.25 million.

At November 30, 2023 and 2022, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, we voluntarily prepaid $25.0 million of the principal balance on the term loans under the Prior Credit Facility.

Securitization Facility

On July 6, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Securitization Facility, which was initially entered into on October 30, 2020, to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $350 million to up to $500 million, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a credit spread adjustment to the SOFR rate of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.

Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. based subsidiaries sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix Corporation that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $500 million. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by our accounts

46

Table of Contents

receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of our clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).

The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Restated Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix Corporation, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.

Sellers’ Note

On September 25, 2023, as part of the consideration for the Webhelp Combination, we issued the Sellers’ Note in the aggregate principal amount of €700 million to certain Sellers (the “Noteholders”). Pursuant to the Sellers’ Note, the unpaid principal amount outstanding accrues interest at a rate of two percent (2%) per annum, and all principal and accrued interest will be due and payable on September 25, 2025. The stated rate of interest is below our expected borrowing rate. As a result, we discounted the Sellers’ Note by €31,500. The discounted value is being amortized into interest expense over the two-year term.

As of November 30, 2023 and 2022, we were in compliance with the debt covenants related to our debt arrangements.

Cash Flows – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022

The following summarizes our cash flows for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, as reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $678.0 million for fiscal year 2023 in comparison to $600.7 million for fiscal year 2022. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities over the prior year was primarily related to favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities partially offset by a decrease in net income.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2023 was $2,109.2 million. The net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of the aggregate cash paid in connection with the Webhelp Combination of approximately $1,914.1 million, purchases of property and equipment of $180.5 million, and a premium paid for call options entered into in connection with the Webhelp Combination of $14.6 million.

47

Table of Contents

Net cash used by investing activities in fiscal year 2022 was $1,839.3 million, consisting primarily of the aggregate cash paid in connection with the acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource of $1,698.3 million and purchases of property and equipment of $140.0 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2023 was $1,802.7 million, consisting primarily of proceeds, before expenses, of $2,137.0 million from the issuance of the Senior Notes in August 2023, proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loans of $294.7 million, partially offset by principal payments of $194.7 million made on the Term Loan, principal payments of $25.0 million made on term loan borrowings under our Prior Credit Facility, net repayments of $228.0 million under our Securitization Facility, repurchases of our common stock of $81.2 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligation, dividends of $63.5 million, and cash paid of $30.5 million related to debt issuance costs for the Senior Notes, financing fees for the Bridge Facility and amendment fees related to our Restated Credit Facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2022 was $1,237.5 million, consisting primarily of net proceeds of $1,400.0 million from the refinancing of the term loan under our Prior Credit Facility and net proceeds of $251.5 million from borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The increases were offset primarily by payments of $225.0 million made on the term loan borrowings, repurchases of our common stock of $133.3 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, and dividends paid of $53.4 million.

We believe our current cash balances and credit availability are enough to support our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure)

Our free cash flow was $497.5 million in fiscal year 2023, compared to $460.7 million in fiscal year 2022. The increase in free cash flow in fiscal year 2023 over the prior year primarily reflects increased net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.

Capital Resources

As of November 30, 2023, we had total liquidity of $1,709.3 million, which includes undrawn capacity on our revolving credit facility of $1,042.5 million, undrawn capacity of $371.5 million under our Securitization Facility, and cash and cash equivalents.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $295.3 million and $145.4 million as of November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, 99% and 97% were held by our non-U.S. legal entities as of November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. legal entities are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States; repatriation of some non-U.S. balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all non-U.S. cash to fund our international operations and expansions; however, we have recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities that are likely to be repatriated in

the future. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the impact of the state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financing activities.

Material Cash Requirements, including Contractual Obligations to Third Parties

The following table summarizes our material cash requirements from known contractual or other obligations as of November 30, 2023 that are not disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:

(a) Cash obligations for required interest payments on our variable-rate debt obligations at the current rates as of November 30, 2023.

(b) Includes projected contributions to achieve minimum funding objectives for our cash balance pension plan.

As of November 30, 2023, we have established a reserve of $87.9 million for unrecognized tax benefits. As we are unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement related to these unrecognized tax benefits, the table above excludes such liabilities.

We currently expect our 2024 capital expenditures to be approximately $225 million to $255 million, which includes investments to support our growth and maintenance capital expenditures.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements. It contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

The following discussion compares our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. The discussion comparing our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 is included within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 28, 2022, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” or “Concentrix” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to Concentrix Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Overview and Basis of Presentation

Concentrix is a leading global provider of Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions and technology that help iconic and disruptive brands drive deep understanding, full lifecycle engagement, and differentiated experiences for their end-customers. We provide end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 as well as new economy clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, such as voice, chat, email, social media, asynchronous messaging, and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.

We generate revenue from performing services that are generally tied to our clients’ products and services. Any shift in business or the size of the market for our clients’ products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients’ products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity.

PK Acquisition

On December 27, 2021, we completed our acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries, for total consideration of $1,573.3 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients’ customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded our scale in the digital IT services market and supported our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to our team further strengthened our capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence (“AI”), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

ServiceSource Acquisition

On July 20, 2022, we completed our acquisition of ServiceSource International, Inc. (“ServiceSource”) for total consideration of $141.5 million, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. ServiceSource is a global outsourced go-to-

market services provider, delivering business-to-business (“B2B”) digital sales and customer success solutions that complemented our existing offerings in this area.

Spin-off

On December 1, 2020, Concentrix and our technology-infused CX solutions business were separated from SYNNEX Corporation, now known as TD SYNNEX Corporation (“TD SYNNEX”), through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (such separation and distribution, the “spin-off”). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of our common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the spin-off, we became an independent public company and our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNXC” on December 1, 2020. In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define our ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.

Risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic

At its height, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative effect on the global economy, supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. We successfully transitioned a significant portion of our workforce to a remote working environment throughout the second quarter of 2020 and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in our sites to protect the health and safety of our staff. During fiscal year 2022, almost all of our workforce was productive, but we experienced the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as variants caused new waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe.

The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to our delivery and operations locations, our continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, our clients’ acceptance of remote work environments, and the effect on our clients’ businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

We are unable to predict how long the pandemic conditions will persist in regions in which we operate, if or when countries or localities may experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or our clients in response to the pandemic generally or to an increase in COVID-19 cases in a particular country or locality, and the effect of any such additional measures on our business. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions involved in preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic and the global recovery from the pandemic, our estimates may materially change in future periods. Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

We generate revenue through the provision of CX solutions and technology to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.

Our CX solutions and technology are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 95% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer

31

Table of Contents

transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our solutions and technology. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the CX solutions and technology, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.

In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, approximately 78% and 84%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 68% and 62%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars and we expect this to continue. As a result, we have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.

Margins

Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our CX services are delivered, client volume trends, and the amount of lead time that is required for programs to become fully scaled and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs in periods of larger volume.

Economic and Industry Trends

The CX solutions industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities and quality of services. Further, there can be competitive pressure for labor in various markets, which could result in increased labor costs. Accordingly, we could be subject to pricing and labor cost pressures and may experience a decrease in revenue and operating income. Our business operates in over 40 countries across 6 continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, throughout Europe, China and Japan. Accordingly, we would be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Seasonality

Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year than in any other quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are

32

Table of Contents

based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from our client contracts over time as the promised services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for those services. We recognize revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us as we perform the services. We account for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payments terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. We generally invoice a client after the performance of services, or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, our contracts consist of a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).

Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors. Certain contracts may be based on a fixed price. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time using an input measure or on a straight line basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided based on the nature of the contract.

Certain client contracts include additional payments from the client based upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. Certain contracts also provide for a reduction in consideration paid to the Company in the event that certain agreed-upon service levels or performance metrics are not achieved. Revenue based on such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is unlikely that a significant reversal will occur.

Business Combinations

We continually seek to augment organic growth with strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our existing capabilities. Recent acquisitions have sought to enhance our capabilities and domain expertise in our key verticals, expand our geographic footprint, and further expand into higher value service offerings. We are also strategically focused on further increasing our scale to support our clients.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities may involve engaging independent third parties to perform an appraisal. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth rates and margins, attrition rates, and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions we believe a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available.

Goodwill

As of November 30, 2022, we had goodwill of $2,904.4 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level in the fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative analysis. If the qualitative analysis is elected, goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If we elect to perform or are required to perform a quantitative analysis, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. As part of our fiscal year 2022 assessment, we reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit to our market capitalization. The result of the analysis demonstrated that our reporting unit’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value.

Based on our 2022 impairment assessment, we concluded that no impairment charges were necessary. We recorded no impairment charges related to goodwill during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.

Other Intangible Assets

As of November 30, 2022, we had other intangible assets, net of amortization, of $985.6 million. This amount consists primarily of $919.9 million in client relationship intangible assets. As amortizable intangible assets, we evaluate the intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying value (an indicator of impairment). If an impairment indicator is present, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying values of the related assets. We recorded no impairment charges related to other intangible assets during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2022 and 2021

Revenue

We generate revenue by delivering our CX solutions and technology to our clients categorized in the above primary industry verticals. Our solutions focus on customer engagement, process optimization, and back-office automation.

Our revenue increased 13.2% in fiscal year 2022, including revenue from acquired operations of $512.9 million, or an increase of 9.2%, compared to fiscal year 2021. The increase in revenue from acquired operations combined with higher volumes across most verticals caused the majority of the increase in our revenue compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue related to divested businesses of $37.9 million, or 0.7%, and an unfavorable translation effect of foreign currencies of $195.2 million, or 3.5%. The unfavorable foreign currency translation effect on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical increased over the prior year as a result of increases in volumes from several social media and internet-related service clients, increases in volumes from a broad-based group of hardware and software clients and increases due to contributions from acquired operations. Revenue in our retail, travel and ecommerce vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions

35

Table of Contents

from acquired operations and increased volumes from a majority of our retail and ecommerce and travel and tourism clients. Revenue in our communications and media vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations. Revenue from clients in the banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased over the prior year due to increased volumes from several banking and financial services clients partially offset by a decrease in volumes related to several of our insurance clients, which primarily resulted from the divestiture of our insurance third-party administration operations and software platform, Concentrix Insurance Solutions (“CIS”). Revenue in our healthcare vertical increased over the prior year due to contributions from acquired operations and increased volumes from a majority of our health insurance clients. Revenue in our other vertical increased over the prior year primarily due to contributions from acquired operations partially offset by a decrease in revenue from government clients.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.

Our cost of revenue increased by 12.4% in fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the increase in our revenue and personnel costs related to staff supporting our acquired operations. These increases were partially offset by a $193.5 million, or 5.3%, reduction in the cost of revenue due to foreign currency translation. The foreign currency impacts on our cost of revenue were caused primarily by the weakening of the euro, Philippine peso, Japanese yen and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Our gross profit increased by 14.6% in fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the increase in revenue and contributions from acquired operations, partially offset by a $1.7 million reduction in gross profit due to net unfavorable foreign currency translation. Our gross margin percentage increased from 35.3% in fiscal year 2021 to 35.7% in fiscal year 2022 and was affected by the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of support personnel costs such as salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and share-based compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include the cost of our global delivery facilities, utility expenses, hardware and software costs related to our technology infrastructure, legal and professional fees, depreciation on our technology and facility equipment, amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, marketing expenses and acquisition-related and integration expenses.

36

Table of Contents

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 15.7% in fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to incremental expenses associated with acquired operations, increases in expenses to support our revenue growth, an increase in amortization expense of $25.8 million primarily associated with the intangible assets recognized in the acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource, an increase in acquisition-related and integration expenses of $33.0 million related to the previously described acquisitions and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $10.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a $53.4 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses due to foreign currency translation. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 25.0% for fiscal year 2021 to 25.6% for fiscal year 2022 due to the net effect of the changes described.

Operating Income

Our operating income increased during fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, primarily due to the increase in gross profit partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our operating margin decreased during fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, due to the increase in gross margin percentage more than offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Interest Expense and Finance Charges, Net

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net consist primarily of interest on our term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and interest on borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”).

The increase in interest expense during fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, was due to the increase in borrowings and an increased interest rate on our term loan borrowings under our Credit Facility and increased borrowings and an increased interest rate on borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The increase in borrowings primarily resulted from borrowings incurred for the acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource in fiscal year 2022.

37

Table of Contents

Other Expense (Income), Net

Amounts recorded as other expense (income), net include foreign currency transaction gains and losses other than cash flow hedges, investment gains and losses, the non-service component of pension costs, and other non-operating gains and losses.

Other expense (income), net in fiscal year 2022 was $34.9 million of income compared to $6.3 million of income in fiscal year 2021. The change in other expense (income), net was primarily due to favorable foreign currency transaction changes compared to the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions.

Our provision for income taxes increased for fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, due to the change in mix of income earned in different tax jurisdictions between fiscal years. This change in mix of income led to an increase in the U.S. minimum tax related to foreign earnings in fiscal year 2022 in comparison to fiscal year 2021. The increase was partially offset by an additional income tax expense of $13.0 million in fiscal year 2021 related to the divestiture of CIS.

The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2022 increased compared to the effective tax rate for the fiscal year 2021 due to the change in mix of income earned in different tax jurisdictions between fiscal years. A decrease in U.S. taxable income led to an increase in the U.S. minimum tax related to foreign earnings as a percentage of income before taxes.

See Note 14—Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

•Revenue in constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue in constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of each fiscal year in the billing currency to U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year’s currency conversion rate. Generally, when the U.S. dollar either

38

Table of Contents

strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our revenue growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than our revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.

•Revenue in adjusted constant currency, which is constant currency revenue excluding revenue from acquired operations in the current period for the twelve months following an acquisition and excluding revenue from divested operations in the comparative period for the twelve months preceding a divestiture. Revenue in adjusted constant currency presents organic constant currency revenue growth for the business, without the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.

•Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.

•Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.

•Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.

•Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. However, free cash flow has limitations because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.

•Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client relationships, technology and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based

Table of Contents

compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1)    The tax effect of taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments was calculated using the tax deductible portion of the expenses and applying the entity specific, statutory tax rates applicable to each item during the respective fiscal years.

Client Concentration

In fiscal year 2022, no client accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. Our largest client accounted for 11.9% of our revenue in fiscal year 2021. The revenue that we recognized from this client was earned under multiple contracts and statements of work. No other client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash are working capital, capital expenditures to expand our delivery footprint and enhance our technology solutions, debt repayments and acquisitions, including our fiscal year 2022 acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource. Our financing needs for these uses of cash have been a combination of operating cash flows and third-party debt arrangements. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable. When our revenue is increasing, our net investment in working capital typically increases. Conversely, when revenue is decreasing, our net investment in working capital typically decreases. To increase our market share and better serve our clients, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities, and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, available liquidity, including capacity on our debt arrangements, or the issuance of securities.

In September 2021, considering our strong free cash flow, low leverage and adequate liquidity to support capital return to stockholders while maintaining flexibility to pursue acquisitions, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500 million of our common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, we purchased 841,979 and 138,455 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of approximately $120.8 million and $25.1 million, respectively. At November 30, 2022,

approximately $354.1 million remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from the Company’s board of directors.

During fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company has paid the following dividends per share approved by the Company’s board of directors:

On January 19, 2023, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.275 per share to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2023, payable on February 10, 2023.

The board of directors expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors’ approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

Debt Arrangements

Credit Facility

On December 27, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PK, we entered into an amended Credit Facility to (i) refinance the then-outstanding term loan (the “Prior Term Loan”) with a new term loan, which was fully advanced, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,100 million (the “Term Loan”), (ii) increase the commitments under our revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) to $1,000 million, (iii) extend the maturity of the Credit Facility from November 30, 2025 to December 27, 2026, (iv) replace LIBOR with SOFR as the primary reference rate used to calculate interest on the loans under the Credit Facility, and (v) modify the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and the margins in excess of the reference rates at which the loans under the Credit Facility bear interest. The proceeds from the Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Securitization Facility were used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Prior Term Loan and to finance the acquisition of PK, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PK and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of term or daily SOFR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the Revolver that ranges from 22.5 to 30 basis points, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

Beginning August 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of the Term Loan became payable in quarterly installments of $26.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended

43

Table of Contents

November 30, 2022, we paid $225.0 million of the principal balance on the Term Loan, including $172.5 million of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

We may request, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, incremental commitments to increase the amount of the Revolver or the Term Loan available under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, our pro forma first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain of its U.S. subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility contains various loan covenants that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of our business. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.

Prior to it being amended in December 2021, we initially entered into our senior secured credit facility on October 16, 2020, to provide for the extension of revolving loans of up to $600 million and term loan borrowings of up to $900 million. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, we incurred the full $900 million of term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility and $250 million of borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings, net of debt issuance costs, were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by the Company to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to the Company.

Beginning May 31, 2021, the outstanding principal of the Prior Term Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $11.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, we paid $200.0 million of the principal balance on the Prior Term Loan, including $166.25 million of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

We had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of November 30, 2022 and 2021.

Securitization Facility

On July 6, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Securitization Facility, which was initially entered into on October 30, 2020, to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $350 million to up to $500 million, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.

Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix and certain of its U.S. based subsidiaries (the “Originators”) sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $500 million. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by our accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of our clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).

44

Table of Contents

The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.

On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, we incurred $250 million of borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by Concentrix to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to Concentrix.

As of November 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the debt covenants related to our debt arrangements.

Cash Flows – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2022 and 2021

The following summarizes our cash flows for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, as reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $600.7 million for fiscal year 2022 in comparison to $514.2 million for fiscal year 2021. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities over the prior year was primarily related to the increase in net income and changes in working capital and operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2022 was $1,839.3 million in comparison to $78.7 million in fiscal year 2021. The increase in net cash used in investing activities over the prior year primarily related to aggregate cash paid in connection with our acquisitions of PK and ServiceSource of approximately $1.7 billion.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2022 was $1,237.5 million, consisting primarily of net proceeds of $1,400.0 million from the refinancing of the Prior Term Loan with the Term Loan under our Credit Facility and net proceeds of $251.5 million from borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The increases were offset primarily by payments of $225.0 million made on the Term Loan, repurchases of our common stock of $133.3 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, and dividends paid of $53.4 million.

45

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2021 was $401.9 million, consisting primarily of principal payments of $200.0 million on borrowings under our Credit Facility, net payments of $145.0 million on borrowings under our Securitization Facility, repurchases of our common stock of $57.5 million, including repurchases under our share repurchase program and shares withheld upon the vesting of share-based awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, and dividends paid of $13.1 million.

We believe our current cash balances and credit availability are enough to support our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure)

Our free cash flow was $460.7 million in fiscal year 2022, compared to $365.1 million in fiscal year 2021. The increase in free cash flow in fiscal year 2022 over the prior year primarily reflects increased net cash provided by operating activities as a result of the increase in net income and a decrease in capital expenditures.

Capital Resources

As of November 30, 2022, we had total liquidity of $1,288.9 million, which includes undrawn Revolver capacity of $1,000 million under our Credit Facility, undrawn capacity of $143.5 million under our Securitization Facility, and cash and cash equivalents.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $145.4 million and $182.0 million as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, 97% and 87% were held by our non-U.S. legal entities as of November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. legal entities are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States; repatriation of some non-U.S. balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all non-U.S. cash to fund our international operations and expansion; however, the Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities that are likely to be repatriated in the future. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the impact of the state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation. Presently, we believe we have sufficient resources, cash flow and liquidity within the United States to fund current and expected future working capital, investment and other general corporate funding requirements.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financial market activities.

Material Cash Requirements, including Contractual Obligations to Third Parties

The following table summarizes our material cash requirements from known contractual or other obligations as of November 30, 2022 that are not disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:

(a) Cash obligations for required interest payments on our variable-rate debt obligations at the current rates as of November 30, 2022.

(b) Includes projected contributions to achieve minimum funding objectives for our cash balance pension plan.

As of November 30, 2022, we have established a reserve of $78.5 million for unrecognized tax benefits. As we are unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement related to these unrecognized tax benefits, the table above excludes such liabilities.

We currently expect our 2023 capital expenditures to be approximately $140 million to $160 million, which includes investments to support our growth and maintenance capital expenditures.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements. It contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

The following discussion compares our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. The discussion comparing our results for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 is included within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2021, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” or “Concentrix” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to Concentrix Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Overview and Basis of Presentation

Concentrix is a leading global provider of Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions and technology that help iconic and disruptive brands drive deep understanding, full lifecycle engagement, and differentiated experiences for their end-customers. We provide end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation, front- and back-office automation, analytics and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 as well as new economy clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, such as voice, chat, email, social media, asynchronous messaging, and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.

We generate revenue from performing services that are generally tied to our clients’ products and services. Any shift in business or the size of the market for our clients’ products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients’ products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity.

PK Acquisition

On December 27, 2021, we completed our acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients’ customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expands our scale in the digital IT services market and supports our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to our team further strengthens our capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence (“AI”), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.

Spin-off

On December 1, 2020, the previously announced separation (the “separation”) of Concentrix and our technology-infused CX solutions business from TD SYNNEX was completed through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (the distribution and, together with the separation, the “spin-off”). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of our common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the

32

Table of Contents

spin-off, we became an independent public company and our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNXC” on December 1, 2020. In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define our ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.

Risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic

In December 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. We successfully transitioned a significant portion of our workforce to a remote working environment throughout the second quarter of 2020 and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in our sites to protect the health and safety of our team. During fiscal year 2021, almost all of our workforce was productive, but we experienced the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Delta variant caused new waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe. We incurred net costs of approximately $33 million and $86 million associated with COVID-19 during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The COVID-19 related costs consist of certain out-of-pocket costs and non-productive workforce costs, including support and resources for our staff to care for themselves and their families.

The extent of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to the Company’s delivery and operations locations, our continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, and the effect on our clients’ businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. We are unable to predict how long the pandemic conditions will persist in regions in which we operate, if or when countries or localities may experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or our clients in response to the pandemic generally or to an increase in COVID-19 cases in a particular country or locality, and the effect of any such additional measures on our business. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions involved in preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic and global recovery from the pandemic, our estimates may materially change in future periods. Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

We generate revenue through the provision of CX solutions and technology to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contains the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.

Our CX solutions and technology are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 96% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenues from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our solutions. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the CX solutions, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the

33

Table of Contents

management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.

In fiscal years 2021 and 2020, approximately 84% and 83%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 62% and 63%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars and we expect this to continue. As a result, we have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs and profitability has been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Margins

Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our CX services are delivered, client volume trends, and the amount of lead time that is required for programs to become fully scaled and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs in periods of higher volume.

Economic and Industry Trends

The CX solutions industry in which we operate is competitive. Clients’ performance measures are based on competitive pricing terms and quality of services. Accordingly, we could be subject to pricing pressure and may experience a decrease in revenue and operating income. Our business operates in over 40 countries across 6 continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, throughout Europe, China and Japan. Accordingly, we would be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Seasonality

Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenues and margins are typically higher in the fourth quarter of the year than in any other quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and a variety of other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments, estimates and/or assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

34

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from our client contracts over time as the promised services are delivered to clients for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for those services. We recognize revenue over time as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us as we perform the services. We account for a contract with a client when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payments terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from clients and remitted to government authorities. We generally invoice a client after the performance of services, or in accordance with the specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, our contracts consist of a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).

Service contracts are most significantly based on a fixed unit-price per transaction or other objective measure of output. Revenue on unit-price transactions is recognized over time using an objective measure of output such as staffing hours or the number of transactions processed by service advisors. Certain contracts may be based on a fixed price. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time using an input measure or on a straight line basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided based on the nature of the contract.

Certain client contracts include additional payments from the client based upon the achievement of certain agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. Certain contracts also provide for a reduction in consideration paid to the Company in the event that certain agreed-upon service levels or performance metrics are not achieved. Revenue based on such arrangements is accounted for as variable consideration when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is unlikely that a significant reversal will occur.

Goodwill

As of November 30, 2021, we had goodwill of $1,813.5 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level in the fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative analysis. If the qualitative analysis is elected, goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information.

If we elect to perform or are required to perform a quantitative analysis, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. As part of our fiscal year 2021 assessment and analysis of the fair value of our reporting unit, we reconciled to our market capitalization. The result of the analysis shows the reporting unit’s fair value substantially exceeds its carrying value.

Based on our 2021 impairment assessment, we concluded that no impairment charges were necessary. We have not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020.

Other Intangible Assets

As of November 30, 2021, we had other intangible assets, net of amortization, of $655.5 million. This amount consists primarily of $653.3 million in client relationship intangible assets. As amortizable intangible assets, we evaluate the intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying value (an indicator of impairment). If an impairment indicator is present, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying values of the related assets.

Results of Operations – Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2021 and 2020

Revenue

We generate revenue by delivering our CX solutions and technology to our clients categorized in the above primary industry verticals. These solutions focus on customer engagement, process optimization, and back-office automation.

Our revenue increased 18.4% in fiscal year 2021, compared to fiscal year 2020, due to an increase in volumes across all verticals. Revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical increased as a result of larger volumes from several social media and internet-related service clients and a broad-based group of hardware and software clients. Revenue in our communications and media vertical increased due to larger volumes primarily as a result of prior year impacts from COVID-19 that did not recur in the current year, partially offset by our portfolio re-

36

Table of Contents

balancing efforts which were largely completed by the end of fiscal year 2020. Revenue in our retail, travel and ecommerce vertical increased due to larger volumes across the majority of our retail and ecommerce clients and an increase in volumes for several travel and tourism clients. Revenue in our banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased due to larger volumes from the majority of our banking and financial services clients. Revenue in our healthcare vertical increased due to larger volumes across the majority of our health insurance clients. Revenue in our other vertical increased reflecting growth with several government clients. Also contributing to the increase in total revenue in fiscal year 2021 were favorable foreign currency translation effects of $93.3 million, or 2.0%. The favorable foreign currency translation effects on revenue were primarily due to the strengthening of the euro, British pound and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.

Our cost of revenue increased by 18.3% in fiscal year 2021, compared to fiscal year 2020, primarily due to the increase in revenue, wage increases and foreign currency translation effects of $78.2 million on the cost of revenue. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in COVID-19 related costs of approximately $41 million. The foreign currency translation effects on the cost of revenue were caused primarily by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, euro, British pound and Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar.

Our gross profit increased 18.5% in fiscal year 2021, compared to fiscal year 2020, primarily due to the increase in revenue, a net favorable foreign currency impact of $15.1 million on gross profit and the decrease in COVID-19 related costs. Our gross margin percentage remained materially consistent at 35.3% in fiscal year 2021 compared to 35.2% in the prior year and was impacted by the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
