ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The purpose of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to present information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and cash flows for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2026 and our financial condition as of December 31, 2025. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and accompanying notes.

The MD&A is organized in the following sections:

•Background

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Critical Accounting Estimates

The following discussion includes a comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the third quarters and first nine months of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025. References are made throughout to the numbered Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Notes”) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Background

DXC is a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner delivering software, services, and solutions to global enterprises and public sector organizations — helping them harness AI to drive outcomes at a time of exponential change with speed. With deep expertise in Managed Infrastructure Services, Application Modernization, and Industry-Specific Software Solutions, DXC modernizes, secures, and operates some of the world’s most complex technology estates.

The new structure includes three reportable segments: Consulting & Engineering Services ("CES"), Global Infrastructure Services ("GIS"), and Insurance Services ("Insurance").

Results of Operations for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025

Financial Highlights

Key metrics for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as well as year to date cash flow comparisons are included below. We have presented organic revenue and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis. For more information see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, our total revenue was $3.2 billion, a decrease of $31 million or 1.0%, compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease against the comparative period includes a 4.3% decline in organic revenue partially offset by a 3.3% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, our total revenue was $9.5 billion, a decrease of $188 million or 1.9%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease against the comparative period includes a 4.3% decline in organic revenue partially offset by a 2.5% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact.

Costs of Services

Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs (“COS”), consist of expenses directly associated with revenue-generating activities. These expenses primarily include payroll and related employee benefit costs, subcontractor costs and other contract-related expenses, as well as technology, facilities, and other supporting infrastructure costs.

COS was $2.4 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of $19 million (+0.8%) compared to the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, partially offset by a decrease in costs and payroll-related expenses from lower revenue levels.

COS was $7.2 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2026, a decrease of $163 million (-2.2%) compared to the prior-year period. The decline was primarily driven by the alignment of business development expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses in support of the offering model, a decrease in costs from lower revenue levels, and a reduction in professional services and contractor-related expenses from our cost optimization initiatives, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact. In connection with the Company’s new segment structure in fiscal 2026, certain costs for personnel in non-client facing positions are now included in selling, general and administrativ

Costs of Services

Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("COS"), consist of expenses directly associated with revenue-generating activities. These expenses primarily include payroll and related employee benefit costs, subcontractor costs and other contract-related expenses, as well as technology, facilities, and other supporting infrastructure costs.

COS was $9.6 billion for fiscal 2026, a decrease of $157 million (-1.6%) compared to the prior-year period. The decline was primarily driven by a decrease in costs from lower revenue levels, the alignment of business development expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses in support of the offering model, and a reduction in professional services and contractor-related expenses from our cost optimization initiatives, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact. In connection with the Company’s new segment structure in fiscal 2026, certain costs for personnel in non-client facing positions are now included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Gross margin (Revenues less COS as a percentage of revenue) was 24.0% for fiscal 2026, a decline of 10 basis points against the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("SG&A"), consist of the costs associated with personnel in non-client facing positions. These expenses primarily include payroll and related employee benefit costs, business development efforts, marketing and advertising activities, and other expenses such as information systems and office space.

SG&A was $1,402 million for fiscal 2026, an increase of $54 million (+4.0%) compared to the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by the realignment of business development and certain other costs from COS, an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, and a gain from a legal settlement in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by lower levels of merger-related indemnification expenses and transaction, separation, and integration ("TSI") costs in fiscal 2026.

SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 11.1% for fiscal 2026, an increase of 60 basis points against the prior fiscal year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $1,160 million for fiscal 2026, a decrease of $127 million (-9.9%) compared to the prior-year period. Depreciation expense decreased by $57 million due to lower average net property and equipment balances. Amortization expense decreased by $70 million due to lower transition and transformation contract cost balances and lower software amortization.

Restructuring Costs

During fiscal 2026, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our workforce, facility and data center requirements. Total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, during fiscal 2026 were $115 million, a decrease of $38 million (-24.8%) compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily from a reduction in workforce-related expenses.

See Note 12 - "Restructuring Costs" for additional information about our restructuring actions.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $35 million for fiscal 2026, a decrease of $31 million (-47.0%) as compared to the prior-year. The improvement was primarily from higher net interest income from our cash deposits and multi-currency notional pools and lower finance lease and asset financing costs, partially offset by higher interest expense on our Senior notes (see Note 10 - Debt).

42

Gain on Disposition of Businesses

During fiscal 2025, the Company sold insignificant businesses and made adjustments to estimated amounts from prior years’ dispositions that resulted in a gain of $7 million. The Company had no business dispositions during fiscal 2026.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net includes non-service cost components of net periodic pension income, pension and other post-retirement benefit (“OPEB”) actuarial and settlement losses and (gains), movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges, losses on real estate and facility sales, and other miscellaneous losses and (gains).

The components of Other expense (income), net were as follows:

Fiscal Years Ended
(in millions)March 31, 2026March 31, 2025Dollar Change
Non-service cost components of net periodic pension income$(172)$(160)$(12)

Foreign currency gains(2)(4)2
Losses on real estate and facility sales23(23)
Other miscellaneous losses (gains)6(3)9
Total$1$(376)$377

Other expense (income), net, increased $377 million compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to:

•pension income ($12 million) - increase in net periodic pension income, primarily due to changes in expected returns on assets and other actuarial assumptions;

•pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses (gains) ($401 million) - primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments and other settlement losses (gains);

•foreign currency impact ($2 million) - change in foreign currency, primarily due to movements of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, related hedges including forward contracts to manage our exposure to economic risk, and the cost of our hedging program;

•real estate and facility sales ($23 million) - losses on real estate and facility sales in fiscal 2025, with insignificant net sales in fiscal 2026;

•miscellaneous items ($9 million) - the Company recognized a $14 million impairment of goodwill in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 related to the change in operating segments, partially offset by fewer impairment losses recognized in fiscal 2026 and a gain on the sale of a strategic investment in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Taxes

Our effective tax rate ("ETR") on income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes, for fiscal 2026 and 2025 was 91.2% and 37.1%, respectively. A reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the ETR, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 14 - "Income Taxes."

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has examined, or is examining, the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC’s fiscal years 2009 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company participated in settlement negotiations with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for these tax years that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have settled various audit adjustments, and we disagree with the IRS’ disallowance of certain losses and deductions resulting from restructuring costs, foreign exchange losses, and a third-party financing transaction in previous years.

We have received notices of deficiency and a final partnership administrative adjustment with respect to fiscal years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 and have timely filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court.

43

The U.S. Tax Court cases generally involve three primary issues. The first issue pertains to a capital loss the Company claimed in fiscal year 2013 in the amount of $651 million, which the IRS subsequently disallowed, and for which it proposed a substantial understatement penalty. The total cash tax payment the IRS is seeking is approximately $503 million, inclusive of penalties and interest, which continues to accrue. The U.S. Tax Court held a trial on this matter in two sessions in August and October 2025. Post-trial briefing concluded in April 2026. A decision from the court is now pending.

The second issue pertains to the Company’s deduction for restructuring expenses in fiscal year 2013 in the amount of $139 million, which the IRS has disputed. The total cash tax payment the IRS is seeking is approximately $108 million, inclusive of penalties and interest, which continues to accrue. In January 2025, the Court denied the IRS’ motion for summary judgment. A trial date is pending.

The third issue primarily pertains to foreign currency losses from 2009 that the Company claimed in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 in the amount of $163 million, resulting from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro over an eight-year period (from 2001 to 2009) upon termination of a partnership interest involving two entities with different functional currencies. The total cash tax payment the IRS is seeking is approximately $125 million, inclusive of penalties and interest, which continues to accrue. In March 2026, the Court granted the IRS’ motion for summary judgment. A final decision on the Company’s tax liability is pending. During the current year, the Company increased its accrual to fully reserve the net amount of its expected tax liability in this matter.

As we believe we will ultimately prevail on the technical merits of the first and second issues above and are continuing to challenge them in the U.S. Tax Court, the first and second issues are not fully reserved and would result in incremental federal and state tax expense of approximately $523 million (including estimated interest and penalties) for the unreserved portion of these items, if we do not prevail. The total cash tax exposure across all three issues above is approximately $655 million. These amounts are net of an expected $81 million interest deduction tax benefit.

During fiscal 2024, the Company determined there were inadvertent omissions on previously filed tax returns related to gain recognition agreements and certain related tax forms and disclosures. The Company notified the IRS promptly and filed for relief under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.367(a)-8(p) to correct the issue.

The Company’s fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2013 are in the U.S. Tax Court, and consequently these years will remain open until such proceedings have concluded. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal and tax return years 2014 through 2021 to December 31, 2027. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2009 through 2011 no earlier than fiscal year 2027. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2012 and 2013 no earlier than fiscal year 2028. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2014 through 2021 no earlier than fiscal year 2027.

The Company may settle certain other tax examinations for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. Consequently, the Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts or pay lower amounts than previously estimated and accrued when positions are settled in the future.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2026 was $0.10, a decrease of $2.00 compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in diluted EPS against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to the Company's decrease in net income attributable to DXC common stockholders partially offset by a lower weighted average share count from the Company’s share repurchases.

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2026 includes $0.51 per share of restructuring costs, $0.02 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.56 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $(0.19) per share of merger-related indemnification, $(0.01) per share of gains on real estate, facility sales, and dispositions, $0.01 per share of debt extinguishment costs, $0.07 per share of impairment losses, $0.73 per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses, and $0.45 per share of tax adjustments primarily relating to tax litigation matters, to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets, and adjustments for changes in tax legislation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures of performance which are derived from the statements of operations of DXC. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, non-GAAP EPS, organic revenue growth, constant currency revenues, and free cash flow.

We believe EBIT, adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses as well as gains and losses on certain dispositions and certain tax adjustments.

We believe constant currency revenues provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present constant currency revenues.

One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer-related intangible assets, from its non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.

Another category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS is impairment losses, which, if included, may result in a significant difference in period-over-period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and are not expected to occur frequently. Further, assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control.

Selected references are made to revenue growth on an “organic basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. Organic revenue growth is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in GAAP revenues attributed to organic growth by the GAAP revenues reported in the prior comparable period. Organic revenue is calculated as constant currency revenue excluding the impact of mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions until the one-year anniversary of the transaction and excluding revenues of divestitures during the reporting period. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars and the effects of acquisitions and divestitures in both periods presented.

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is utilized by our management, investors, and analysts to evaluate cash available to pay debt, repurchase shares, and provide further investment in the business.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies. Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are non-GAAP measures calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Revenues.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP adjustments include:

•Restructuring costs – includes costs, net of reversals, related to workforce and real estate optimization and other similar charges.

•Transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs – includes third party costs related to integration, separation, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions incurred within one year of such transactions closing, except for costs associated with related disputes, which may arise more than one year after closing.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets – includes amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations.

•Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses.

•Merger related indemnification – represents the Company’s estimate of potential net liability for tax related indemnifications.

•Gains and losses on dispositions – gains and losses related to dispositions of businesses, strategic assets and interests in less than wholly-owned entities.

•Gains and losses on real estate and facility sales – gains and losses related to dispositions of real property.

•Impairment losses – non-cash charges associated with the permanent reduction in the value of the Company’s assets (e.g., impairment of goodwill and other long-term assets including fixed assets and impairments to deferred tax assets for discrete changes in valuation allowances). Future discrete reversals of valuation allowances are likewise excluded.

•Debt extinguishment costs – costs associated with early retirement, redemption, repayment or repurchase of debt and debt-like items including any breakage, make-whole premium, prepayment penalty or similar costs as well as solicitation and other legal and advisory expenses.

•Tax adjustments – discrete tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets, adjustments for changes in tax legislation, tax litigation matters, and adjustments to transition tax. Income tax expense (benefit) from the impact of mergers and divestitures is separately computed based on the underlying transaction. Income tax expense of all other (non-discrete) non-GAAP adjustments is computed by applying the jurisdictional tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments on a jurisdictional basis. In fiscal 2026, includes the unfavorable summary judgment in a tax matter relating to a foreign exchange tax case.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents ("cash") were $1.7 billion, of which $0.8 billion was held outside of the U.S. We maintain various multi-currency, multi-entity, cross-border, physical and notional cash pool arrangements with various counterparties to manage liquidity efficiently that enable participating subsidiaries to draw on the Company’s pooled resources to meet liquidity needs.

A significant portion of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is not expected to be impacted by U.S. federal income tax upon repatriation. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign and U.S. state income tax consequences upon future remittance. Therefore, if additional funds held outside the U.S. are needed for our operations in the U.S., we plan to repatriate these funds not designated as indefinitely reinvested.

We have $0.2 billion in cash held by foreign subsidiaries used for local operations that is subject to country-specific limitations, which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. In addition, other practical considerations may limit our use of consolidated cash. This includes cash of $0.2 billion held by majority owned consolidated subsidiaries where third parties or public shareholders hold minority interests.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:

Operating cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,248 million and $1,398 million, respectively, in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $150 million. Operating cash flow against the comparative period included:

•a decrease in net income, net of adjustments of $132 million; and

•a $18 million unfavorable change in working capital due to higher working capital outflows during fiscal 2026.

Cash conversion cycle22255

50

Investing cash flow

Net cash used in investing activities was $484 million and $512 million, respectively, in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, reflecting a year-over-year change of $28 million. The change was primarily due to:

•a $176 million decrease in capital expenditures primarily from lower levels of software purchased and developed; partially offset by

•a decrease in proceeds from sale of assets of $126 million, and

•$26 million in cash inflows from business dispositions in fiscal 2025 that did not occur in fiscal 2026.

Financing cash flow

Net cash used in financing activities was $776 million and $317 million, respectively, in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, reflecting a year-over-year change of $459 million. The change was primarily due to:

•principal payments on long term debt, net of proceeds from bond issuance in fiscal 2026 of $320 million,

•a $229 million increase in cash used for share repurchase activity and related taxes paid on net share settlements, and

•a $22 million decrease in cash inflows from other financing activities; partially offset by

•a $110 million decrease in payments on capital leases and borrowings for asset financings, as the Company continues reducing the volume of these financing arrangements.

Debt Financing

The following table summarizes our total debt:

As of
(in millions)March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt$520$880
Long-term debt, net of current maturities3,0322,996
Total debt$3,552$3,876

The $324 million decrease in total debt during fiscal 2026 was primarily attributable to principal payments on long-term debt, net of proceeds from our bond issuance in fiscal 2026 (see Note 10 - "Debt”), decreases in finance lease liabilities and borrowings for asset financing attributable to payments exceeding minimal additions, partially offset by the impact of the foreign currency exchange rate of U.S. dollar against the Euro.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, our credit ratings were as follows:

Rating AgencyLong Term RatingsShort Term RatingsOutlook

S&PBBB--Stable

For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" subsection titled "Failure to maintain our credit rating, manage our indebtedness, and raise additional capital for future needs could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing cost, and access to capital markets."

51

Liquidity

We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the next 12 months and beyond. We expect to continue using cash generated by operations as a primary source of liquidity; however, should we require funds greater than that generated from our operations to fund discretionary investment activities, such as business acquisitions, we have the ability to raise capital through debt financing, including the issuance of capital market debt instruments such as commercial paper and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize and will further utilize an accounts receivable sales facility, and our cross-currency cash pool for liquidity needs. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt financing, if required, on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.

Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.

Our liquidity of $4.7 billion as of March 31, 2026, includes $1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $3.0 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On October 23, 2025, the Company amended its revolving credit facility, extending the maturity date to November 1, 2030 and reducing the total available borrowings to $3.0 billion as a result of rationalizing its bank group. The Company believes this revised facility continues to provide ample financial flexibility to support our operating and strategic objectives.

Share Repurchases

See Note 15 - "Stockholders' Equity."

Dividends

To maintain our financial flexibility, we continued to suspend payment of quarterly dividends for fiscal 2026.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to arrangements that include guarantees, the receivables sales facility and certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and surety bonds. We also use performance letters of credit to support various risk management insurance policies. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company's balance sheets. See Note 4 - "Receivables" and Note 21 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Commitments

For a description of the Company’s cash commitments to debt, leases, pension and other benefit plans, and minimum purchase commitments, refer to “Note 10 - Debt,” Note 5 - "Leases,” "Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies," and “Note 13 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans,” for the estimated future benefit payments under our Pension and OPEB plans.

(1) The transition tax is payable over eight years. We have remitted the first seven installment payments. Our remaining liability from the originally computed transition tax in 2018 is $71 million. We are in the process of amending our tax return for historical transactions and other adjustments which are expected to reduce our overall transition tax obligation by approximately $108 million, resulting in a net refund due of $37 million.

(2) Amounts represent scheduled interest payments on long-term debt.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions regarding historical experience, currently available information, and anticipated developments that it believes are reasonable and appropriate. However, because the use of estimates involves an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them: revenue recognition, income taxes, defined benefit plans, valuation of assets, and loss accruals for litigation. We have discussed the selection of our critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Revenue Recognition

Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple performance obligations.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or performance obligations to our customers, which may include a combination of services and products and may also contain leases embedded in those arrangements. Significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in contracts with multiple performance obligations should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and any lease components and the timing of revenue recognition for each. For contracts with multiple performance obligations and lease components, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component based on the relative standalone selling price. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our contracts involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post-contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions.

Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various performance obligations and lease components, revenues for each are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for each. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.

53

Contract modifications

A contract modification is a legally binding change to the scope, price, or both of an existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract, and whether they modify an embedded lease. This determination requires significant judgment, which could impact the timing of revenue recognition.

Costs to obtain contracts with customers

Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, analyzing our income tax reserves, the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and any corresponding adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

As a global enterprise, our ETR is affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, the extent to which our non-U.S. earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, changes in tax regulations, acquisitions, dispositions and the tax characteristics of our income. We cannot predict with certainty what our ETR will be in the future because there is uncertainty regarding these factors. Future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), along with members of its inclusive framework, have, through the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project, proposed changes to numerous long-standing tax principles (“Pillar Two Rules”), which imposes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. Although the U.S. has not yet enacted legislation implementing Pillar Two Rules, other countries where the Company does business, including the U.K. and Germany, have enacted legislation implementing Pillar Two Rules recently and several other countries are also considering changes to their tax laws to implement it. When and how these rules are adopted or enacted by the various countries in which we do business could increase tax complexity and uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that were not indefinitely reinvested and had a deferred tax liability of $16 million for the estimated taxes associated with the repatriation of these earnings. The Company also had undistributed earnings and other outside basis differences in foreign subsidiaries that were indefinitely reinvested for which no taxes have been provided and the quantification of the deferred tax liability, if any, was not practicable. If future events, including material changes in estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements, necessitate that these earnings be distributed, an additional provision for taxes may apply, which could materially affect our future effective tax rate.

54

Considerations impacting the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income as well as deferred tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of financial operations. We recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. However, valuation allowances are subject to change in future reporting periods due to changes in various factors such as when inputs or estimates used in determining valuation allowances significantly change or upon the receipt of new information.

We determine whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any portion of the tax benefit is recorded in our financial statements and only the portion of the tax benefit that is measured as greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority (that has full knowledge of all relevant information) is recognized. We may be required to change our provision for income taxes when the ultimate outcome of a tax position is agreed to by taxing authorities or otherwise effectively settled.

Defined Benefit Plans

The computation of our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations is dependent on various assumptions. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases and medical cost trend rates. Our management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on observable inputs for similar assets or on significant unobservable inputs if observable inputs are not available. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate.

Our weighted average rates used for determining net periodic pension cost were:

For Fiscal Years Ended
March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
Discount rates5.1%4.4%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets6.7%6.3%

The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is impacted by the expected asset mix of the plan; judgments regarding the correlation between historical and future outperformance due to active management of the investments and expected investment expenses. The discount rate assumption is based on current market rates for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities similar to the expected duration of the benefit payment period. The following table provides the impact that changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had on our net periodic pension benefits and settlement and contractual termination charges for fiscal 2026:

Discount rate(50) basis points$(11)$386

55

Valuation of Assets

We review long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy disclosed in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Assessing the fair value of assets involves significant judgment including estimation of future cash flows, the timing of such cash flows, and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in projecting future cash flows. The valuation of long-lived and intangible assets involves management estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of assets, particularly purchased intangible assets. These estimates are subjective and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and forecasts.

Evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities, and goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The identification of reporting units requires consideration of components of the operating segments and whether or not there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by management. Additionally, we consider whether or not it is reasonable to aggregate components that have similar economic characteristics. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these assumptions may be impacted by a significant change in the business climate, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition which could materially affect the estimates of fair value for each reporting unit.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach, using performance-metric market multiples. The discount rate used in an income approach is based on our weighted-average cost of capital and may be adjusted for the relevant risks associated with business-specific characteristics and any uncertainty related to a reporting unit's ability to generate the projected future cash flows.

We are subject to various claims and contingencies associated with lawsuits, insurance, tax and other issues arising in the normal course of business. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management's view of the expected outcome. DXC consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with ASC 450 "Contingencies." Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions used in assessing the likelihood of an adverse outcome could have a material effect on our results of operations.

(1) Constant currency revenues are a non-GAAP measure calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This information is consistent with how management views our revenues and evaluates our operating performance and trends. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Total revenue for fiscal 2025 was $12.9 billion, a decline of $796 million or 5.8%, compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by a 4.6% decline in organic revenue and a 1.0% unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact. Organic revenue is a non-GAAP measure, as discussed in our "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." In addition, for a discussion of risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors."

Total costs and expenses$12,241$13,558$(1,317)(9.7)%

Costs of Services

Costs of services ("COS") were $9.8 billion for fiscal 2025, a decrease of $806 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in expenses against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to a decline in costs from lower revenue levels and a reduction in professional services and contractor-related expenses from our cost optimization efforts.

Gross margin (Revenues less COS as a percentage of revenue) was 24.1% for fiscal 2025, an increase of 150 basis points against the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $1.3 billion for fiscal 2025, an increase of $104 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in expenses against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to an alignment of business development expenses from COS in support of the offering model and an increase in transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs, partially offset by lower merger-related indemnification expenses, lower share-based compensation and a gain from a legal settlement in fiscal 2025.

SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 10.5% for fiscal 2025, an increase of 140 basis points against the prior fiscal year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $351 million for fiscal 2025, a decrease of $82 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to lower average net property and equipment balances.

42

Amortization expense was $936 million for fiscal 2025, a decrease of $35 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily due to lower software amortization.

Restructuring Costs

During fiscal 2025, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our workforce, facility, and data center requirements. Total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, during fiscal 2025 were $153 million, an increase of $42 million compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily from a reduction in workforce-related expenses.

See Note 12 - "Restructuring Costs" for additional information about our restructuring actions.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For fiscal 2025, net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $66 million, a decrease of $18 million as compared to the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in net interest expense against the comparative period was primarily due to decreased interest expense from lower levels of asset financing and commercial paper, and higher net interest income from cash deposits.

Gain on Disposition of Businesses

During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Company sold insignificant businesses and made adjustments to estimated amounts from prior years’ dispositions that resulted in a gain of $7 million and $79 million, respectively.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net comprises non-service cost components of net periodic pension income, pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement (gains) losses, movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges, losses (gains) on real estate and facility sales, and other miscellaneous (gains) and losses.

The components of other (income) expense, net were as follows:

Fiscal Years Ended

Loss (gain) on real estate and facility sales23(7)30
Other miscellaneous (gains) and losses(3)(68)65
Total$(376)$218$(594)

43

Other (income) expense, net, was $(376) million in fiscal 2025, a change of $594 million against the prior fiscal year. The change against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to:

•net periodic pension income increased by $15 million primarily due to changes in expected returns on assets and other actuarial assumptions;

•pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement (gains) losses were $(232) million and $445 million, respectively, a change of $677 million, from mark-to-market adjustments and other settlement (gains) losses;

•foreign currency gains decreased $3 million, primarily due to movements of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, related hedges including forward contracts to manage our exposure to economic risk, and the cost of our hedging program;

•losses (gains) on real estate and facility were $23 million and $(7) million, respectively, a change of $30 million;

•a decrease in other miscellaneous (gains) and losses of $65 million, primarily from impairment losses in fiscal 2025 and the gain on the sale of a strategic investment in fiscal 2024.

Taxes

Our effective tax rate ("ETR") on income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes, for fiscal 2025 and 2024 was 37.1% and 21.1%, respectively. A reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the ETR, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 14 - "Income Taxes."

In fiscal 2025, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•The global mix of income and changes in foreign statutory tax rates, which increased the foreign tax rate differential and the ETR by $145 million and 23.0%, respectively.

•Income tax and foreign tax credits, which decreased income tax expense and the ETR by $84 million and 13.3%, respectively, offset by tax expense on U.S. international tax inclusions, which increased tax expense and the ETR by $59 million and 9.4%, respectively.

•The tax benefit of changes in uncertain tax positions related to the expiration of the statute of limitations and capitalized research and experimental expenditures, offset by the impact of increases in other uncertain tax positions and accrued interest, which decreased income tax expense and the ETR by $52 million and 8.3%, respectively.

In fiscal 2024, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•Changes in foreign jurisdictional losses that decreased the ETR by $160 million and 146.8%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount.

•Income tax and foreign tax credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $101 million and 92.7%, respectively, offset by tax expense on U.S. international tax inclusions, which increased tax expense and increased the ETR by $39 million and 35.8%, respectively.

•Foreign withholding taxes, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $64 million and 58.7%, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has examined, or is examining, the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC’s fiscal years 2009 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company participated in settlement negotiations with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for these tax years that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have settled various audit adjustments, and we disagree with the IRS’ disallowance of certain losses and deductions resulting from restructuring costs, foreign exchange losses, and a third-party financing transaction in previous years.

We have received notices of deficiency and a final partnership administrative adjustment with respect to fiscal years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 and have timely filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court.

The U.S. Tax Court cases generally involve three primary issues. The first issue pertains to a capital loss the Company claimed in fiscal year 2013 in the amount of $651 million, which the IRS subsequently disallowed, and for which it proposed a substantial understatement penalty. The total cash tax payment the IRS is seeking is approximately $469 million, inclusive of penalties and interest, which continues to accrue. The matter is currently scheduled for trial in August 2025.

44

The second issue pertains to the Company’s deduction for restructuring expenses in fiscal year 2013 in the amount of $146 million, which the IRS has disputed. The total cash tax payment the IRS is seeking is approximately $101 million, inclusive of penalties and interest, which continues to accrue. In January 2025, the Court denied the IRS’s motion for summary judgment. A trial date is pending.

The third issue primarily pertains to foreign currency losses from 2009 that the Company claimed in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 in the amount of $165 million, resulting from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro over an eight-year period (from 2001 to 2009) upon termination of a partnership interest involving two entities with different functional currencies. The total cash tax payment the IRS is seeking is approximately $124 million, inclusive of penalties and interest, which continues to accrue. This matter is currently pending a summary judgment motion from the IRS.

As we believe we will ultimately prevail on the technical merits of the disagreed items and are challenging them in the U.S. Tax Court, the above matters are not fully reserved and would result in incremental federal and state tax expense of approximately $544 million (including estimated interest and penalties) for the unreserved portion of these items and cash tax payments of approximately $623 million if we do not prevail. These amounts are net of an expected $71 million interest deduction tax benefit.

During fiscal 2024, the Company determined there were inadvertent omissions on previously filed tax returns related to gain recognition agreements and certain related tax forms and disclosures. The Company notified the IRS promptly and filed for relief under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.367(a)-8(p) to correct the issue.

The Company’s fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2013 are in the U.S. Tax Court, and consequently these years will remain open until such proceedings have concluded. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal and tax return years 2014 through 2021 to December 31, 2025. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2009 through 2011 no earlier than fiscal year 2026. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2012 and 2013 no earlier than fiscal year 2028. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2014 through 2021 no earlier than fiscal year 2026.

The Company may settle certain other tax examinations for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. Consequently, the Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts or pay lower amounts than previously estimated and accrued when positions are settled in the future. The Company believes the outcomes that are reasonably possible within the next 12 months to result in a reduction in its liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carryforwards, would be approximately $2 million.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 was $2.10, an increase of $1.64 compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in diluted EPS against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to an increase in net income attributable to DXC common stockholders and a lower weighted average share count from the Company’s share repurchases.

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 includes $0.65 per share of restructuring costs, $0.11 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.47 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $(0.02) per share of merger-related indemnification, $0.09 per share of impairment losses, $(0.05) per share of net gains on dispositions, $0.08 per share of net losses on real estate and facility sales, $(0.89) per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains, and $(0.09) per share of tax adjustments primarily relating to tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets and adjustments for changes in tax legislation.

45

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures of performance which are derived from the statements of operations of DXC. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, non-GAAP EPS, organic revenue growth, constant currency revenues, and free cash flow.

We believe EBIT, adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses as well as gains and losses on certain dispositions and certain tax adjustments.

We believe constant currency revenues provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present constant currency revenues.

One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer-related intangible assets, from its non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.

Another category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS is impairment losses, which, if included, may result in a significant difference in period-over-period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and are not expected to occur frequently. Further, assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control.

Selected references are made to revenue growth on an “organic basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. Organic revenue growth is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in GAAP revenues attributed to organic growth by the GAAP revenues reported in the prior comparable period. Organic revenue is calculated as constant currency revenue excluding the impact of mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions until the one-year anniversary of the transaction and excluding revenues of divestitures during the reporting period. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars and the effects of acquisitions and divestitures in both periods presented.

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is utilized by our management, investors, and analysts to evaluate cash available to pay debt, repurchase shares, and provide further investment in the business.

46

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies. Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are non-GAAP measures calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Revenues.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP adjustments include:

•Restructuring costs – includes costs, net of reversals, related to workforce and real estate optimization and other similar charges.

•Transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs – includes costs related to integration, separation, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions incurred within one year of such transactions closing, except for costs associated with related disputes, which may arise more than one year after closing.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets – includes amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations.

•Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses.

•Merger related indemnification – in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, represents the Company’s estimate of potential net liability to HPE for tax related indemnifications.

•Gains and losses on dispositions – gains and losses related to dispositions of businesses, strategic assets and interests in less than wholly-owned entities.

•Gains and losses on real estate and facility sales – gains and losses related to dispositions of real property.(1)

•Impairment losses – non-cash charges associated with the permanent reduction in the value of the Company’s assets (e.g., impairment of goodwill and other long-term assets including fixed assets and impairments to deferred tax assets for discrete changes in valuation allowances). Future discrete reversals of valuation allowances are likewise excluded.

•Tax adjustments – discrete tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets, adjustments for changes in tax legislation, and adjustments to transition tax. Income tax expense (benefit) from the impact of mergers and divestitures is separately computed based on the underlying transaction. Income tax expense of all other (non-discrete) non-GAAP adjustments is computed by applying the jurisdictional tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments on a jurisdictional basis.

(1) Starting in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s reported non-GAAP financial results reflect an adjustment for gains and losses on real estate and facilities dispositions, which the Company’s current management believes are not reflective of the core operating performance of our business. For comparability purposes, historical non-GAAP financial measures set forth herein have been recast to reflect this change, which included gains on dispositions of real property of approximately $7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents ("cash") were $1.8 billion, of which $0.8 billion was held outside of the U.S. We maintain various multi-currency, multi-entity, cross-border, physical and notional cash pool arrangements with various counterparties to manage liquidity efficiently that enable participating subsidiaries to draw on the Company’s pooled resources to meet liquidity needs.

A significant portion of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is not expected to be impacted by U.S. federal income tax upon repatriation. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign and U.S. state income tax consequences upon future remittance. Therefore, if additional funds held outside the U.S. are needed for our operations in the U.S., we plan to repatriate these funds not designated as indefinitely reinvested.

We have $0.2 billion in cash held by foreign subsidiaries used for local operations that is subject to country-specific limitations, which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. In addition, other practical considerations may limit our use of consolidated cash. This includes cash of $0.2 billion held by majority owned consolidated subsidiaries where third parties or public shareholders hold minority interests.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:

Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year1,2241,858
Cash and cash equivalents at end of year$1,796$1,224

Operating cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,398 million and $1,361 million, respectively, in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, reflecting a year-over-year increase of $37 million. Operating cash flow against the comparative period included:

•an increase in net income, net of adjustments of $48 million; partially offset by

•a $11 million unfavorable change in working capital due to higher working capital outflows during fiscal 2025.

51

Investing cash flow

Net cash used in investing activities was $512 million and $491 million, respectively, in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, reflecting a year-over-year change of $21 million. The change was primarily due to:

•a $106 million year-over-year increase in cash outflows from capital expenditures primarily from software purchased and developed; partially offset by

•an increase in proceeds from sale of assets of $86 million.

Financing cash flow

Net cash used in financing activities was $317 million and $1,487 million, respectively, in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, reflecting a year-over-year change of $1,170 million. The change was primarily due to:

•an $899 million decrease in cash used for share repurchase activity and related taxes paid on net share settlements;

•a $132 million decrease in payments on capital leases and borrowings for asset financings, as the Company continues reducing the volume of these financing arrangements;

•a $101 million decrease in cash outflows from commercial paper payments, net of borrowings; and

•a $38 million increase in cash inflows from other financing activities.

Debt Financing

The following table summarizes our total debt:

As of
(in millions)March 31, 2025March 31, 2024
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt$880$271
Long-term debt, net of current maturities2,9963,818
Total debt$3,876$4,089

The $213 million decrease in total debt during fiscal 2025 was primarily due to the net decreases in finance lease liabilities and borrowings for asset financing. The $609 million increase in short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt reflects the fiscal year 2026 maturity of the €650 million senior note.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, our credit ratings were as follows:

Rating AgencyLong Term RatingsShort Term RatingsOutlook
FitchBBBF-2Negative
Moody'sBaa2P-2Negative
S&PBBB--Stable

For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" subsection titled "Failure to maintain our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing cost, and access to capital markets."

52

Liquidity

We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the next 12 months and beyond. We expect to continue using cash generated by operations as a primary source of liquidity; however, should we require funds greater than that generated from our operations to fund discretionary investment activities, such as business acquisitions, we have the ability to raise capital through debt financing, including the issuance of capital market debt instruments such as commercial paper and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize and will further utilize accounts receivable sales facilities, and our cross-currency cash pool for liquidity needs. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt financing, if required, on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.

Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.

Our liquidity of $5.0 billion as of March 31, 2025, includes $1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $3.2 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On November 1, 2024, the Company extended the term of our revolving credit facility to November 1, 2029.

Share Repurchases

See Note 15 - "Stockholders' Equity."

Dividends

To maintain our financial flexibility, we continued to suspend payment of quarterly dividends for fiscal 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to arrangements that include guarantees, the receivables sales facility and certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and surety bonds. We also use performance letters of credit to support various risk management insurance policies. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company's balance sheets. See Note 4 - "Receivables" and Note 20 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Commitments

For a description of the Company’s cash commitments to debt, leases, pension and other benefit plans, and minimum purchase commitments, refer to “Note 10 - Debt,” Note 5 - "Leases,” "Note 20 - Commitments and Contingencies," and “Note 13 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans,” for the estimated future benefit payments under our Pension and OPEB plans.

Our other cash commitments as of March 31, 2025, were as follows:

(1) The transition tax is payable over eight years. We have remitted the first seven installment payments. Our remaining liability from the originally computed transition tax in 2018 is $71 million. We are in the process of amending our tax return for historical transactions and other adjustments which are expected to reduce our overall transition tax obligation by approximately $108 million, resulting in a net refund due of $37 million.

(2) Amounts represent scheduled interest payments on long-term debt.

53

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions regarding historical experience, currently available information, and anticipated developments that it believes are reasonable and appropriate. However, because the use of estimates involves an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them: revenue recognition, income taxes, defined benefit plans, valuation of assets, and loss accruals for litigation. We have discussed the selection of our critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Revenue Recognition

Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple performance obligations.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or performance obligations to our customers, which may include a combination of services and products and may also contain leases embedded in those arrangements. Significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in contracts with multiple performance obligations should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and any lease components and the timing of revenue recognition for each. For contracts with multiple performance obligations and lease components, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component based on the relative standalone selling price. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our contracts involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post-contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions.

Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various performance obligations and lease components, revenues for each are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for each. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.

Contract modifications

A contract modification is a legally binding change to the scope, price, or both of an existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract, and whether they modify an embedded lease. This determination requires significant judgment, which could impact the timing of revenue recognition.

54

Costs to obtain contracts with customers

Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, analyzing our income tax reserves, the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and any corresponding adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

As a global enterprise, our ETR is affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, the extent to which our non-U.S. earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, changes in tax regulations, acquisitions, dispositions and the tax characteristics of our income. We cannot predict with certainty what our ETR will be in the future because there is uncertainty regarding these factors. Future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), along with members of its inclusive framework, have, through the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project, proposed changes to numerous long-standing tax principles (“Pillar Two Rules”), which imposes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. Although the U.S. has not yet enacted legislation implementing Pillar Two Rules, other countries where the Company does business, including the U.K. and Germany, have enacted legislation implementing Pillar Two Rules recently and several other countries are also considering changes to their tax laws to implement it. When and how these rules are adopted or enacted by the various countries in which we do business could increase tax complexity and uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that were not indefinitely reinvested and had a deferred tax liability of $32 million for the estimated taxes associated with the repatriation of these earnings. The Company also had undistributed earnings of approximately $1.4 billion and other outside basis differences in foreign subsidiaries that were indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. No taxes have been provided on the undistributed foreign earnings and outside basis differences that are indefinitely reinvested. If future events, including material changes in estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements, necessitate that these earnings be distributed, an additional provision for taxes may apply, which could materially affect our future effective tax rate.

Considerations impacting the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income as well as deferred tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of financial operations. We recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $2.2 billion as of March 31, 2025, due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. However, valuation allowances are subject to change in future reporting periods due to changes in various factors such as when inputs or estimates used in determining valuation allowances significantly change or upon the receipt of new information.

55

We determine whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any portion of the tax benefit is recorded in our financial statements and only the portion of the tax benefit that is measured as greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority (that has full knowledge of all relevant information) is recognized. We may be required to change our provision for income taxes when the ultimate outcome of a tax position is agreed to by taxing authorities or otherwise effectively settled.

In the U.S., the IRA was signed into law on August 16, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Defined Benefit Plans

The computation of our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations is dependent on various assumptions. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases and medical cost trend rates. Our management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on observable inputs for similar assets or on significant unobservable inputs if observable inputs are not available. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate.

Our weighted average rates used were:

March 31, 2025March 31, 2024
Discount rates4.4%4.5%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets6.3%6.0%

The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is impacted by the expected asset mix of the plan; judgments regarding the correlation between historical excess returns and future excess returns and expected investment expenses. The discount rate assumption is based on current market rates for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities similar to the expected duration of the benefit payment period. The following table provides the impact that changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had on our net periodic pension benefits and settlement and contractual termination charges for fiscal 2025:

(in millions)ChangeApproximate Change in Net Periodic Pension ExpenseApproximate Change in Settlement, Contractual Termination, and Mark-to-Market Charges
Expected long-term return on plan assets50 basis points$(36)$36
Expected long-term return on plan assets(50) basis points$36$(36)
Discount rate50 basis points$10$(363)
Discount rate(50) basis points$(12)$400

56

Valuation of Assets

We review long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy disclosed in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Assessing the fair value of assets involves significant judgment including estimation of future cash flows, the timing of such cash flows, and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in projecting future cash flows. The valuation of long-lived and intangible assets involves management estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of assets, particularly purchased intangible assets. These estimates are subjective and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and forecasts.

Evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities, and goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The identification of reporting units requires consideration of components of the operating segments and whether or not there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by management. Additionally, we consider whether or not it is reasonable to aggregate components that have similar economic characteristics. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these assumptions may be impacted by a significant change in the business climate, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition which could materially affect the estimates of fair value for each reporting unit.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach, using performance-metric market multiples. The discount rate used in an income approach is based on our weighted-average cost of capital and may be adjusted for the relevant risks associated with business-specific characteristics and any uncertainty related to a reporting unit's ability to generate the projected future cash flows.

Assumptions and Estimates Used to Analyze Contingencies and Litigation

We are subject to various claims and contingencies associated with lawsuits, insurance, tax and other issues arising in the normal course of business. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management's view of the expected outcome. DXC consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with ASC 450 "Contingencies." Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions used in assessing the likelihood of an adverse outcome could have a material effect on our results of operations.

(1) Constant currency revenues are a non-GAAP measure calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This information is consistent with how management views our revenues and evaluates our operating performance and trends. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Total revenue for fiscal 2024 was $13.7 billion, a decrease of $763 million or 5.3%, compared to the prior fiscal year. The 5.3% decrease against the comparative period includes a 0.7% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, a 1.9% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, and a 4.1% decline in organic revenue. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

The favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact is primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound and Euro.

For a discussion of risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors."

Global Business Services

GBS revenues were $6.8 billion for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $140 million or 2.0% compared to fiscal 2023. The 2.0% decrease against the comparative period includes a 3.8% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses,

Global Infrastructure Services

GIS revenues were $6.8 billion for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $623 million or 8.3% compared to fiscal 2023. The 8.3% decrease against the comparative period includes a 1.0% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact offset by a 9.3% decline in organic revenue from project completions, early terminations, and lower resale revenue.

Costs of Services

Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("COS"), were $10.6 billion for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $670 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

The $670 million decrease in expenses against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to a reduction in labor costs from lower revenue levels and a reduction in professional services and contractor-related expenses from our cost optimization efforts, partially offset by a $9 million severance expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 related to the departure of the Company’s prior Chief Executive Officer and an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of $64 million.

Gross margin (Revenues less COS as a percentage of revenue) was 22.6% for fiscal 2024, an increase of 50 basis points against the prior fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("SG&A"), was $1.2 billion for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $131 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

The $131 million decrease in expenses against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to a reduction of $30 million in costs related to merger related indemnification expenses, a decrease of $9 million in transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs, and lower professional services and other vendor-related expenses in fiscal 2024. In addition, the prior year included a $29 million expense for arbitration-related losses and an $8 million expense for the SEC Matter. These decreases in expense were partially offset by a $5 million unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact.

SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 9.1% for fiscal 2024, a favorable decrease of 40 basis points against the prior fiscal year.

43

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $433 million for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $86 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to lower average net property and equipment balances.

Amortization expense was $971 million for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $29 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily due to lower software amortization and customer related intangible amortization, partially offset by an increase in transition and transformation contract cost amortization.

Restructuring Costs

During fiscal 2024, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our workforce, facility and data center requirements. Total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, during fiscal 2024 were $111 million, a decrease of $105 million compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily from a reduction in workforce-related expenses.

See Note 12 - "Restructuring Costs" for additional information about our restructuring actions.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For fiscal 2024, net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $84 million, an increase of $19 million as compared to the prior fiscal year.

The increase in net interest expense against the comparative period was primarily due to higher interest rates globally that increased interest expense from securitization and commercial paper borrowings.

Gain on Disposition of Businesses

During fiscal 2024, the Company sold insignificant businesses and a strategic investment, and made adjustments to estimated amounts from prior years' dispositions that resulted in a net gain of $79 million.

During fiscal 2023, the Company had a net gain of $190 million from the disposition of certain businesses, including a pre-tax gain of $215 million from the sale of its FDB business, partially offset by a loss of $25 million from the sale of certain insignificant businesses.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net comprises non-service cost components of net periodic pension income, pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses, movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges, gains on sales of assets, and other miscellaneous gains and losses.

The components of other expense (income), net for fiscal 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Total$218$1,084$(866)

Other expense (income), net, was $218 million in fiscal 2024, a decrease of $866 million against the prior fiscal year. The change against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to:

•net periodic pension income decreased by $106 million primarily due to changes in expected returns on assets and other actuarial assumptions;

•pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses decreased by $986 million from mark-to-market adjustments and other settlement gains and losses;

•foreign currency gains decreased $8 million primarily due to movements of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, related hedges including forward contracts to manage our exposure to economic risk, and the cost of our hedging program;

•a decrease in gains from sales of assets of $50 million; and

•an increase in other gains of $44 million, primarily from the sale of a strategic investment in fiscal 2024 and an impairment loss recorded in fiscal 2023.

Taxes

Our effective tax rate ("ETR") on income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes, for fiscal 2024 and 2023 was 21.1% and (36.0)%, respectively. A reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the ETR, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 14 - "Income Taxes."

In fiscal 2024, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•Changes in foreign jurisdictional losses that decreased the ETR by $160 million and 146.8%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount.

•Income tax and foreign tax credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $101 million and 92.7%, respectively, offset by tax expense on U.S. international tax inclusions, which increased tax expense and increased the ETR by $39 million and 35.8%, respectively.

•Foreign withholding taxes, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $64 million and 58.7%, respectively.

45

In fiscal 2023, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•A reduction in base erosion and transition taxes, which increased income tax benefit and decreased the ETR by $81 million and 9.1%, respectively.

•Income tax and foreign tax credits, which increased income tax benefit and decreased the ETR by $71 million and 8.0%, respectively, offset by tax expense on U.S. international tax inclusions which decreased tax benefit and increased the ETR by $51 million and 5.8%, respectively.

•Non-taxable gains and losses on business divestitures, which increased income tax benefit and decreased the ETR by $67 million and 7.6%, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has examined, or is examining, the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal 2009 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC’s fiscal 2009 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company participated in settlement negotiations with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for these tax years that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have settled various audit adjustments, and we disagree with the IRS’ disallowance of certain losses and deductions resulting from restructuring costs, foreign exchange losses, and a third-party financing transaction in previous years. As we believe we will ultimately prevail on the technical merits of the disagreed items and are challenging them in the U.S. Tax Court, these matters are not fully reserved and would result in incremental federal and state tax expense of approximately $507 million (including estimated interest and penalties) for the unreserved portion of these items and cash tax payments of approximately $582 million, if we do not prevail. We have received notices of deficiency with respect to fiscal 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 and have timely filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court. During fiscal 2024, some of these cases were dismissed, but the dismissals were procedural in nature only and do not impact the Company’s potential liability for the aforementioned fiscal years. We expect court proceedings to progress during calendar year 2024 that may result in resolution of some or all of the litigation matters by the end of fiscal year 2025.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company determined there were inadvertent omissions on previously filed tax returns related to gain recognition agreements and certain related tax forms and disclosures. The Company notified the IRS in December of 2023 and filed for relief under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.367(a)-8(p) in January 2024 to correct the issue.

The Company’s fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2013 are in the U.S. Tax Court, and consequently these years will remain open until such proceedings have concluded. The statute of limitations on assessments related to a refund claim for fiscal year 2012 is open through February 28, 2025. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal and tax return years 2014 through 2021 to December 31, 2025. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2009 through 2021 no earlier than the end of fiscal year 2026, except fiscal year 2012 for which the statute closes in fiscal year 2025, and potentially the years subject to litigation which may be resolved in fiscal year 2025.

The Company may settle certain other tax examinations for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. Consequently, the Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts or pay lower amounts than previously estimated and accrued when positions are settled in the future. The Company believes the outcomes that are reasonably possible within the next 12 months to result in a reduction in its liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carryforwards, would be approximately $17 million.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2024 was $0.46, an increase of $2.94 compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in diluted EPS against the prior fiscal year was primarily due to an increase in net income attributable to DXC common stockholders and a lower weighted average share count from the Company’s share repurchases.

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2024 includes $0.44 per share of restructuring costs, $0.03 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.40 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.01 per share of merger-related indemnification, $0.04 per share of impairment losses, $1.68 per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses, $(0.45) per share of net gains on dispositions, and $(0.49) per share of tax adjustments primarily relating to tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets and adjustments for changes in tax legislation.

46

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures of performance which are derived from the statements of operations of DXC. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, non-GAAP EPS, organic revenue growth, constant currency revenues, and free cash flow.

We believe EBIT, adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses.

We believe constant currency revenues provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present constant currency revenues.

One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS is incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer-related intangible assets, from its non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.

Another category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS is impairment losses, which, if included, may result in a significant difference in period-over-period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and are not expected to occur frequently. Further, assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control.

Selected references are made to revenue growth on an “organic basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. Organic revenue growth is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in GAAP revenues attributed to organic growth by the GAAP revenues reported in the prior comparable period. Organic revenue is calculated as constant currency revenue excluding the impact of mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions until the one-year anniversary of the transaction and excluding revenues of divestitures during the reporting period. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars and the effects of acquisitions and divestitures in both periods presented.

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is utilized by our management, investors, and analysts to evaluate cash available to pay debt, repurchase shares, and provide further investment in the business.

47

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies. Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are non-GAAP measures calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Revenues.”

Certain non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP include:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP adjustments include:

•Restructuring costs – includes costs, net of reversals, related to workforce and real estate optimization and other similar charges.

•Transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs – includes costs related to integration, separation, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions incurred within one year of such transactions closing, except for costs associated with related disputes, which may arise more than one year after closing.

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets – includes amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations.

•Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses.

•Merger related indemnification – in fiscal 2024, primarily represents the Company’s current estimate of potential liability to HPE for tax related indemnifications; and in fiscal 2023, represents the Company’s then current estimate of potential liability to HPE for tax related indemnifications; indemnification on the Forsyth v. HP Inc. and HPE litigation; and the Company’s final liability to HPE on the Oracle v. HPE litigation. These obligations are related to the HPES merger.

•SEC Matter - represents the Company’s liability related to a previously disclosed investigation into its historical determination and disclosure of certain “transaction, separation, and integration-related costs” as part of the Company’s non-GAAP adjustments.

•Gains and losses on dispositions – gains and losses related to dispositions of businesses, strategic assets and interests in less than wholly-owned entities.(1)

•Arbitration loss - reflects losses arising from arbitration decisions in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2023.

•Impairment losses – non-cash charges associated with the permanent reduction in the value of the Company’s assets (e.g., impairment of goodwill and other long-term assets including fixed assets and impairments to deferred tax assets for discrete changes in valuation allowances). Future discrete reversals of valuation allowances are likewise excluded.(2)

•Tax adjustments – discrete tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets, adjustments for changes in tax legislation, and adjustments to transition tax. Income tax expense (benefit) from the impact of merger and divestitures is separately computed based on the underlying transaction. Income tax expense of all other (non-discrete) non-GAAP adjustments is computed by applying the jurisdictional tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments on a jurisdictional basis.(3)

(1) During fiscal 2024, the Company sold insignificant businesses and a strategic investment and made adjustments to estimated amounts from prior years’ dispositions that resulted in a net gain of $115 million. During fiscal 2023, the Company had a net gain of $190 million from the disposition of certain businesses, including a pre-tax gain of $215 million from the sale of its FDB business partially offset by a loss of $25 million from the sale of certain insignificant businesses.

(2) Impairment losses on dispositions for fiscal 2024 include $5 million of charges associated with certain strategic investments accounted for within Other income, net. Impairment losses on dispositions for fiscal 2024 included $4 million of Net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net of tax. Impairment losses for fiscal 2023 include an $8 million impairment charge for customer related intangible assets and an $11 million impairment charge associated with a strategic investment.

(3) Tax adjustments for fiscal 2024 include $(92) million of changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, $(7) million of adjustments to transition tax, and $2 million of revaluation of deferred taxes resulting from changes in non-U.S. jurisdiction tax rates. Tax adjustments for fiscal 2023 include $(5) million changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, $(28) million of adjustments to transition tax, and $(87) million of revaluation of deferred taxes resulting from changes in non-U.S. jurisdiction tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents ("cash") were $1.2 billion, of which $0.6 billion was held outside of the U.S. We maintain various multi-currency, multi-entity, cross-border, physical and notional cash pool arrangements with various counterparties to manage liquidity efficiently that enable participating subsidiaries to draw on the Company’s pooled resources to meet liquidity needs.

A significant portion of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is not expected to be impacted by U.S. federal income tax upon repatriation. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign and U.S. state income tax consequences upon future remittance. Therefore, if additional funds held outside the U.S. are needed for our operations in the U.S., we plan to repatriate these funds not designated as indefinitely reinvested.

We have $0.1 billion in cash held by foreign subsidiaries used for local operations that is subject to country-specific limitations, which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. In addition, other practical considerations may limit our use of consolidated cash. This includes cash of $0.1 billion held by majority owned consolidated subsidiaries where third parties or public shareholders hold minority interests.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:

Operating cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,361 million and $1,415 million, respectively, in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of $54 million. The decrease was primarily due to:

•a decrease in net income, net of adjustments of $214 million; partially offset by

•a $160 million favorable change in working capital primarily from improvements in our cash conversion cycle.

The following table contains certain key working capital metrics:

Cash conversion cycle51625

52

Investing cash flow

Net cash used in investing activities was $491 million and $635 million, respectively, in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, reflecting a year-over-year change of $144 million. The change was primarily due to:

•cash inflows of $26 million in fiscal 2024 resulting from various business divestitures, compared with cash outflows from business dispositions of $147 million in fiscal 2023 caused by net cash deposit outflows from the sale of the FDB Business; and

•a $73 million year-over-year decrease in cash outflows from capital expenditures; partially offset by

•a decrease in proceeds from sale of assets and other investing activities of $96 million and $6 million, respectively.

Financing cash flow

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,487 million and $1,507 million, respectively, in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, reflecting a year-over-year change of $20 million. The change was primarily due to:

•a $140 million decrease in cash outflows from commercial paper payments, net of borrowings;

•an $81 million decrease in payments on capital leases and borrowings for asset financings, as the Company continues reducing the volume of these financing arrangements; and

•$63 million in payments on long term debt in fiscal 2023 that did not occur in fiscal 2024; partially offset by

•a $249 million increase in cash used for share repurchase activity and related taxes paid on net share settlements; and

•a $15 million increase in cash outflows from other financing activities.

Debt Financing

The following table summarizes our total debt:

As of
(in millions)March 31, 2024March 31, 2023
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt$271$500
Long-term debt, net of current maturities3,8183,900
Total debt$4,089$4,400

The $0.3 billion decrease in total debt during fiscal 2024 was primarily due to net decreases in finance lease liabilities, borrowings for asset financing, and commercial paper borrowings.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, our credit ratings were as follows:

Rating AgencyLong Term RatingsShort Term RatingsOutlook
FitchBBBF-2Stable
Moody'sBaa2P-2Stable
S&PBBB--Stable

For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" subsection titled "Failure to maintain our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing cost, and access to capital markets."

53

Liquidity

We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the next 12 months and beyond. We expect to continue using cash generated by operations as a primary source of liquidity; however, should we require funds greater than that generated from our operations to fund discretionary investment activities, such as business acquisitions, we have the ability to raise capital through debt financing, including the issuance of capital market debt instruments such as commercial paper and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize and will further utilize accounts receivable sales facilities, and our cross-currency cash pool for liquidity needs. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt financing, if required, on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.

Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.

Our liquidity of $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2024, includes $1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $3.2 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Share Repurchases

See Note 15 - "Stockholders' Equity."

Dividends

To maintain our financial flexibility, we continued to suspend payment of quarterly dividends for fiscal 2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to arrangements that include guarantees, the receivables sales facility and certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and surety bonds. We also use performance letters of credit to support various risk management insurance policies. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company's balance sheets. See Note 4 - "Receivables" and Note 20 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Commitments

For a description of the Company’s cash commitments to debt, leases, pension and other benefit plans, and minimum purchase commitments, refer to “Note 10 - Debt,” Note 5 - "Leases,” "Note 20 - Commitments and Contingencies," and “Note 13 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans,” for the estimated future benefit payments under our Pension and OPEB plans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions regarding historical experience, currently available information, and anticipated developments that it believes are reasonable and appropriate. However, because the use of estimates involves an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them: revenue recognition, income taxes, defined benefit plans, valuation of assets, and loss accruals for litigation. We have discussed the selection of our critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Revenue Recognition

Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple performance obligations.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or performance obligations to our customers, which may include a combination of services and products and may also contain leases embedded in those arrangements. Significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in contracts with multiple performance obligations should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and any lease components and the timing of revenue recognition for each. For contracts with multiple performance obligations and lease components, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component based on the relative standalone selling price. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our contracts involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post-contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions.

Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various performance obligations and lease components, revenues for each are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for each. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.

Contract modifications

A contract modification is a legally binding change to the scope, price, or both of an existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract, and whether they modify an embedded lease. This determination requires significant judgment, which could impact the timing of revenue recognition.

55

Costs to obtain contracts with customers

Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, analyzing our income tax reserves, the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and any corresponding adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

As a global enterprise, our ETR is affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, the extent to which our non-U.S. earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, changes in tax regulations, acquisitions, dispositions and the tax characteristics of our income. We cannot predict with certainty what our ETR will be in the future because there is uncertainty regarding these factors. Future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), along with members of its inclusive framework, have, through the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project, proposed changes to numerous long-standing tax principles (“Pillar Two Rules”), which imposes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. Although the U.S. has not yet enacted legislation implementing Pillar Two Rules, other countries where the Company does business, including the U.K. and Germany, have enacted legislation implementing Pillar Two Rules, which are effective from January 1, 2024, and several other countries are also considering changes to their tax laws to implement it. When and how these rules are adopted or enacted by the various countries in which we do business could increase tax complexity and uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions.

The majority of our global unremitted foreign earnings have been taxed or would be exempt from U.S. tax upon repatriation. Such earnings and all current foreign earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. The following earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested: approximately $480 million that could be subject to U.S. federal tax when repatriated to the U.S. under section 1.245A-5(b) of the final Treasury regulations; and approximately $200 million of our accumulated earnings in India. A portion of these indefinitely reinvested earnings may be subject to foreign and U.S. state tax consequences when remitted. The Company will continue to evaluate its position based on its future strategy and cash needs.

Considerations impacting the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income as well as deferred tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of financial operations. We recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2024, due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. However, valuation allowances are subject to change in future reporting periods due to changes in various factors such as when inputs or estimates used in determining valuation allowances significantly change or upon the receipt of new information.

56

We determine whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any portion of the tax benefit is recorded in our financial statements and only the portion of the tax benefit that is measured as greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority (that has full knowledge of all relevant information) is recognized. We may be required to change our provision for income taxes when the ultimate outcome of a tax position is agreed to by taxing authorities or otherwise effectively settled.

In the U.S., the IRA was signed into law on August 16, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Defined Benefit Plans

The computation of our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations is dependent on various assumptions. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases and medical cost trend rates. Our management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on observable inputs for similar assets or on significant unobservable inputs if observable inputs are not available. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate.

Our weighted average rates used were:

March 31, 2024March 31, 2023
Discount rates4.5%2.7%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets6.0%4.3%

The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is impacted by the expected asset mix of the plan; judgments regarding the correlation between historical excess returns and future excess returns and expected investment expenses. The discount rate assumption is based on current market rates for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities similar to the expected duration of the benefit payment period. The following table provides the impact that changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had on our net periodic pension benefits and settlement and contractual termination charges for fiscal 2024:

Expected long-term return on plan assets(50) basis points$38$(38)
Discount rate50 basis points$10$(441)
Discount rate(50) basis points$(13)$497

Valuation of Assets

We review long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy disclosed in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Assessing the fair value of assets involves significant judgment including estimation of future cash flows, the timing of such cash flows, and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in projecting future cash flows. The valuation of long-lived and intangible assets involves management estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of assets, particularly purchased intangible assets. These estimates are subjective and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and forecasts.

Evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities, and goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The identification of reporting units requires consideration of components of the operating segments and whether or not there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by management. Additionally, we consider whether or not it is reasonable to aggregate components that have similar economic characteristics. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these assumptions may be impacted by a significant change in the business climate, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition which could materially affect the estimates of fair value for each reporting unit.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach, using performance-metric market multiples. The discount rate used in an income approach is based on our weighted-average cost of capital and may be adjusted for the relevant risks associated with business-specific characteristics and any uncertainty related to a reporting unit's ability to generate the projected future cash flows.

Assumptions and Estimates Used to Analyze Contingencies and Litigation

We are subject to various claims and contingencies associated with lawsuits, insurance, tax and other issues arising in the normal course of business. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management's view of the expected outcome. DXC consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with ASC 450 "Contingencies." Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions used in assessing the likelihood of an adverse outcome could have a material effect on our results of operations.

(1) Constant currency revenues are a non-GAAP measure calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This information is consistent with how management views our revenues and evaluates our operating performance and trends. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Total revenue for fiscal 2023 was $14.4 billion, a decrease of $1,835 million or 11.3%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The 11.3% decrease against the comparative period includes a 6.0% unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, a 2.6% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, and a 2.7% decline in organic revenue. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

The unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact is primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound, Euro, and Australian Dollar.

For a discussion of risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors."

Global Business Services

GBS revenues were $7.0 billion for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $638 million or 8.4% compared to fiscal 2022. The 8.4% decrease against the comparative period includes a 5.9% unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact and a 4.9% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, partially offset by 2.4% organic revenue growth from additional services provided to new and existing customers.

Global Infrastructure Services

GIS revenues were $7.5 billion for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $1,197 million or 13.8% compared to fiscal 2022. The 13.8% decrease against the comparative period includes a 6.0% unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, 0.6% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, and a 7.2% decline in organic revenue from project completions, early terminations, and lower resale revenue.

Total costs and expenses$15,315$15,124$1911.3%

Costs of Services

Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("COS"), were $11.2 billion for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $1,437 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The $1,437 million decrease in expenses was primarily due to a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of $761 million, a decrease in volumes from divestitures and lower revenue levels, and a reduction in professional services and contractor-related expenses from our cost optimization efforts.

Gross margin (Revenues less COS as a percentage of revenue) was 22.1% and 22.0% for fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("SG&A"), was $1.4 billion for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $33 million compared to the prior fiscal year. In fiscal 2023, SG&A as a percentage of revenues was 9.5%, an increase of 80 basis points against the comparative period. The $33 million decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of $68 million, lower real estate costs and other professional and contractor-related expenses, and a $10 million decrease in transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs, partially offset by a $46 million charge for merger-related indemnification expenses, $29 million for arbitration losses, and $8 million for the SEC Matter.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $519 million for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $106 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to lower average net property and equipment balances and a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of $30 million for fiscal 2023.

Amortization expense was $1,000 million for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $92 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease in software amortization, a reduction in transition and transformation contract cost amortization due to contract completions, and a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of $43 million for fiscal 2023.

41

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs represent severance related to workforce optimization programs and expense associated with facilities and data center rationalization.

During fiscal 2023, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our workforce and facility structures. Total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, during fiscal 2023 were $216 million, a decrease of $102 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

See Note 13 - "Restructuring Costs" for additional information about our restructuring actions.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For fiscal 2023, net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $65 million, a decrease of $74 million as compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net interest expense against the comparative period was primarily due to higher income from notional cash pool deposits due to global interest rate hikes, a reduction in notes payable and term loans resulting from the Company's refinancing of its high coupon debt in fiscal 2022, and decreases in interest expense from finance leases and borrowings for asset financing.

Debt Extinguishment Costs

There were no debt extinguishment costs recorded for fiscal 2023.

Debt extinguishment costs were $311 million for fiscal 2022, for the partial and full redemption of term loans, senior notes, and extinguishment of debt associated with asset financing.

Gain on Disposition of Businesses

During fiscal 2023, DXC sold its FDB business, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $215 million. During fiscal 2023, DXC also sold certain insignificant businesses that resulted in a net loss of $25 million.

During fiscal 2022, DXC sold its HPS business resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $331 million. During fiscal 2022, DXC also sold certain insignificant businesses that resulted in a gain of $53 million. This was partially offset by $13 million in sales price adjustments related to prior year dispositions, which resulted from changes in projected closing net working capital.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net comprises non-service cost components of net periodic pension income, movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges, equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and other miscellaneous gains and losses.

The components of other expense (income), net for fiscal 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

42

Other expense (income), net, was $1,084 million and $(1,081) million in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively, a change of $2,165 million compared to the prior fiscal year that was primarily due to:

•net periodic pension expense increased by $2,246 million primarily due to a $1,070 million mark-to-market pension loss in fiscal 2023 versus a $664 million gain in fiscal 2022, a $361 million settlement loss in fiscal 2023 related to the buy-out of a defined benefit pension plan in the U.K., and $131 million less pension income in fiscal 2023 due to changes in expected returns on assets and other actuarial assumptions. See Note 14 - "Pension and Other Benefit Plans" for additional information.

•a foreign currency gain of $15 million in fiscal 2023 versus a $13 million loss in fiscal 2022 primarily due to movements of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, related hedges including forward contracts to manage our exposure to economic risk, and the cost of our hedging program.

•a $2 million of increase in gains from sales of assets.

•a $51 million decrease in other losses, primarily due to a greater amount of impairment losses in the comparative period.

Taxes

Our effective tax rate ("ETR") on income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes, for fiscal 2023 and 2022 was (36.0)% and 35.5%, respectively. A reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the ETR, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 15 - "Income Taxes."

In fiscal 2023, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•A reduction in base erosion and transition taxes, which increased income tax benefit and decreased the ETR by $81 million and 9.1%, respectively.

•Income tax and foreign tax credits, which increased income tax benefit and decreased the ETR by $71 million and 8.0%, respectively, offset by tax expense on U.S. international tax inclusions which decreased tax benefit and increased the ETR by $51 million and 5.8%, respectively.

•Non-taxable gains and losses from business divestitures, which increased income tax benefit and decreased the ETR by $67 million and 7.6%, respectively.

In fiscal 2022, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•Income tax and foreign tax credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $174 million and 15.2%, respectively.

•Changes in Luxembourg losses that increased the ETR by $1,609 million and 141.0%, respectively, with an offsetting decrease in the ETR due to a decrease in the valuation allowance of the same amount.

•Adjustments to uncertain tax positions that increased the overall income tax expense and the ETR by $78 million and 6.8%, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has examined, or is examining, the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal 2009 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC’s fiscal 2009 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company participated in settlement negotiations with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for these tax years that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have settled various audit adjustments, and we disagree with the IRS’ disallowance of certain losses and deductions resulting from restructuring costs and tax planning strategies in previous years. As we believe we will ultimately prevail on the technical merits of the disagreed items and are challenging them in the U.S. Tax Court, these matters are not fully reserved and would result in incremental federal and state tax expense and cash tax payments of approximately $477 million (including estimated interest and penalties) for the unreserved portion of these items if we do not prevail. We have received notices of deficiency with respect to fiscal 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 and have timely filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court. We do not expect the U.S. Tax Court matters to be resolved in the next 12 months.

The Company’s fiscal years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 are in the U.S. Tax Court, and consequently these years will remain open until such proceedings have concluded. The statute of limitations on assessments related to a refund claim for fiscal year 2012 is open through February 28, 2025. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal and tax return years 2014 through 2020 to September 30, 2024. The Company expects to reach resolution for fiscal and tax return years 2009 through 2020 no earlier than fiscal 2025.

43

The Company may settle certain other tax examinations for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. Consequently, the Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts or pay lower amounts than previously estimated and accrued when positions are settled in the future. The Company believes the outcomes that are reasonably possible within the next 12 months to result in a reduction in its liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carry-forwards, would be approximately $16 million.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Diluted (loss) earnings per share for fiscal 2023 was $(2.48), as compared to $2.81 in fiscal 2022. The decrease in earnings per share was due to a decrease of $1,286 million in net income attributable to DXC common stockholders.

Diluted EPS for fiscal 2023 includes $0.74 per share of restructuring costs, $0.06 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.38 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.22 per share of merger-related indemnification, arbitration loss, and SEC Matter costs, $0.06 per share of impairment losses, $4.89 per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses, $(0.92) per share of net gains on dispositions, and $(0.52) per share of tax adjustments primarily relating to tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets and adjustments for changes in tax legislation.

Diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2022 includes $0.99 per share of restructuring costs, $0.07 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.35 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.09 per share of impairment losses, $(0.93) per share of net gains on dispositions, $(1.99) per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains, $0.93 per share of debt extinguishment costs, and $0.17 per share of tax adjustments primarily relating to tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets and adjustments for changes in tax legislation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures of performance which are derived from the statements of operations of DXC. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, non-GAAP EPS, organic revenue growth, and constant currency revenues.

We believe EBIT, adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses.

We believe constant currency revenues provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. Dollars in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present constant currency revenues.

One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer-related intangible assets, from its non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.

Another category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS is impairment losses, which, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and are not expected to occur frequently. Further, assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control.

Selected references are made to revenue growth on an “organic basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. Organic revenue growth is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in GAAP revenues attributed to organic growth by the GAAP revenues reported in the prior comparable period. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars and the effects of acquisitions and divestitures in both periods presented.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies. Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are non-GAAP measures calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Revenues.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP adjustments include:

•Restructuring costs – includes costs, net of reversals, related to workforce and real estate optimization and other similar charges.

•Transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs – includes costs related to integration, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions.(1)

•Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses.

•Merger related indemnification – represents the Company’s current estimate of potential liability to HPE for a tax related indemnification; indemnification on the Forsyth v. HP Inc. and HPE litigation(2); and indemnification on the Company’s final liability to HPE on the Oracle v. HPE litigation. These obligations are pursuant to HPES merger.

•SEC Matter - represents the Company’s liability related to a previously disclosed investigation into its historical determination and disclosure of certain “transaction, separation, and integration-related costs” as part of the Company’s non-GAAP adjustments.(3)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents ("cash") were $1.9 billion, of which $0.7 billion was held outside of the U.S. We maintain various multi-currency, multi-entity, cross-border, physical and notional cash pool arrangements with various counterparties to manage liquidity efficiently that enable participating subsidiaries to draw on the Company’s pooled resources to meet liquidity needs.

A significant portion of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is not expected to be impacted by U.S. federal income tax upon repatriation. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign and U.S. state income tax consequences upon future remittance. Therefore, if additional funds held outside the U.S. are needed for our operations in the U.S., we plan to repatriate these funds not designated as indefinitely reinvested.

We have $0.1 billion in cash held by foreign subsidiaries used for local operations that is subject to country-specific limitations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. In addition, other practical considerations may limit our use of consolidated cash. This includes cash of $0.1 billion held by majority owned consolidated subsidiaries where third parties or public shareholders hold minority interests.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:

Operating cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,415 million and $1,501 million, respectively, in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, a decrease of $86 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to:

•a decrease in net income, net of adjustments of $455 million.

•a $369 million favorable change in working capital during fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 primarily from improvements in our cash collections and payables cycles. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in advance contract payments and deferred revenue due to timing of certain large customer cash receipts in fiscal 2022.

The following table contains certain key working capital metrics:

Cash conversion cycle172426

50

Investing cash flow

Net cash used in investing activities was $635 million and $60 million, respectively, in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, a change of $575 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The change was primarily due to:

•cash outflows from business dispositions of $147 million in fiscal 2023 caused by net cash deposit outflows from the sale of the FDB Business, compared with a cash inflow of $533 million in fiscal 2022 resulting from various business divestitures in fiscal 2022.

•an $80 million year-over-year decrease in cash outflows from capital expenditures primarily from software purchased and developed.

•$71 million of incremental proceeds from sales of assets, partially offset by a $46 million decrease in proceeds from short-term and other investing activities.

Financing cash flow

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,507 million and $1,818 million, respectively, in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, a change of $311 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The lower net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to:

•a $479 million decrease in payments on capital leases and borrowings for asset financings, as the Company continues reducing the volume of these financing arrangements.

•a $216 million decrease in cash outflows from net borrowings on long term debt, including the payment of debt extinguishment costs in fiscal 2022.

•a $73 million increase in cash inflows from other financing activities, primarily due to a fiscal 2022 $85 million repayment of a liability resulting from a financing transaction entered in fiscal 2017.

•a $406 million increase in cash outflows from net repayments on commercial paper borrowings, as the Company reduced its activity in the European commercial paper market due to lower operating cash requirements.

•$51 million of higher cash outflows from increased share repurchase activity and related taxes paid on net share settlements.

Debt Financing

The following table summarizes our total debt:

As of
(in millions)March 31, 2023March 31, 2022
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt$500$900
Long-term debt, net of current maturities3,9004,065
Total debt$4,400$4,965

The $0.6 billion decrease in total debt during fiscal 2023 was primarily due to net decreases in commercial paper borrowings, finance lease liabilities and borrowings for asset financing. The redemption of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock outstanding and a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact also contributed to the decrease in total debt during fiscal 2023.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, our credit ratings were as follows:

Rating AgencyLong Term RatingsShort Term RatingsOutlook
FitchBBBF-2Stable
Moody'sBaa2P-2Stable
S&PBBB--Stable

51

For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" subsection titled "Failure to maintain our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing cost, and access to capital markets."

Liquidity

We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to continue using cash generated by operations as a primary source of liquidity; however, should we require funds greater than that generated from our operations to fund discretionary investment activities, such as business acquisitions, we have the ability to raise capital through debt financing, including the issuance of capital market debt instruments such as commercial paper and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize and will further utilize accounts receivable sales facilities, and our cross-currency cash pool for liquidity needs. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt financing, if required, on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.

Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.

Our liquidity of $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2023, includes $1.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents, $3.0 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and $500 million of available borrowings under our term loan credit agreement.

Share Repurchases

See Note 16 - "Stockholders' Equity."

Dividends

To maintain our financial flexibility, we continued to suspend payment of quarterly dividends for fiscal 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to arrangements that include guarantees, the receivables sales facility and certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and surety bonds. We also use performance letters of credit to support various risk management insurance policies. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company's balance sheets. See Note 4 - "Receivables" and Note 21 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Commitments

For a description of the Company’s cash commitments to debt, leases, pension and other benefit plans, and minimum purchase commitments, refer to “Note 11 - Debt”, Note 5 - "Leases”, "Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies", and “Note 14 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans ”for the estimated future benefit payments under our Pension and OPEB plans.

(1) The transition tax resulted in recording a total transition tax obligation of $198 million, of which $223 million was recorded as income tax liability and $25 million was recorded as an unrecognized tax benefit receivable, which has been omitted from this table. The transition tax is payable over eight years; 8% of net tax liability in each of years 1-5, 15% in year 6, 20% in year 7, and 25% in year 8. We have made our first five payments. See Note 15 - "Income Taxes" for additional information about the transition tax, and the estimated liability related to unrecognized tax benefits.

(2) Amounts represent scheduled interest payments on long-term debt.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions regarding historical experience, currently available information, and anticipated developments that it believes are reasonable and appropriate. However, because the use of estimates involves an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them: revenue recognition, income taxes, defined benefit plans, valuation of assets, and loss accruals for litigation. We have discussed the selection of our critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Revenue Recognition

Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple performance obligations.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or performance obligations to our customers, which may include a combination of services, products or both and may also contain leases embedded in those arrangements. As a result, significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in contracts with multiple performance obligations should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and any lease components and the timing of revenue recognition for each. For contracts with multiple performance obligations and lease components, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our contracts involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post-contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions.

53

Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various performance obligations and lease components, revenues for each are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for each. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.

Contract modifications

A contract modification is a legally binding change to the scope, price, or both of an existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract, and whether they modify an embedded lease. This determination requires significant judgment, which could impact the timing of revenue recognition.

Costs to obtain contracts with customers

Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, analyzing our income tax reserves, the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and any corresponding adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

As a global enterprise, our ETR is affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, the extent to which our non-U.S. earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, changes in tax regulations, acquisitions, dispositions and the tax characteristics of our income. We cannot predict with certainty what our ETR will be in the future because there is uncertainty regarding these factors. Future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.

The majority of our global unremitted foreign earnings have been taxed or would be exempt from U.S. tax upon repatriation. Such earnings and all current foreign earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. The following earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested: approximately $484 million that could be subject to U.S. federal tax when repatriated to the U.S. under section 1.245A-5(b) of the final Treasury regulations; and approximately $200 million of our accumulated earnings in India. A portion of these indefinitely reinvested earnings may be subject to foreign and U.S. state tax consequences when remitted. The Company will continue to evaluate its position based on its future strategy and cash needs.

54

Considerations impacting the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income as well as deferred tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of financial operations. We recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2023, due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. However, valuation allowances are subject to change in future reporting periods due to changes in various factors such as when inputs or estimates used in determining valuation allowances significantly change or upon the receipt of new information.

We determine whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any portion of the tax benefit is recorded in our financial statements and only the portion of the tax benefit that is measured as greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority (that has full knowledge of all relevant information) is recognized. We may be required to change our provision for income taxes when the ultimate outcome of a tax position is agreed to by taxing authorities or otherwise effectively settled.

In the U.S., the IRA was signed into law on August 16, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Defined Benefit Plans

The computation of our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations is dependent on various assumptions. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases and medical cost trend rates. Our management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on observable inputs for similar assets or on significant unobservable inputs if observable inputs are not available. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate.

Our weighted average rates used were:

March 31, 2023March 31, 2022
Discount rates2.7%2.0%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets4.3%4.4%

The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is impacted by the expected asset mix of the plan; judgments regarding the correlation between historical excess returns and future excess returns and expected investment expenses. The discount rate assumption is based on current market rates for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities similar to the expected duration of the benefit payment period. The following table provides the impact changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had on our net periodic pension benefits and settlement and contractual termination charges for fiscal 2023:

Valuation of Assets

We review long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy disclosed in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Assessing the fair value of assets involves significant estimates and assumptions including estimation of future cash flows, the timing of such cash flows, and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in projecting future cash flows. The valuation of long-lived and intangible assets involves management estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of assets, particularly purchased intangible assets. These estimates are subjective and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and forecasts.

Evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities, and goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The identification of reporting units involves consideration of components of the operating segments and whether or not there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by management. Additionally, we consider whether or not it is reasonable to aggregate any of the identified components that have similar economic characteristics. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions include a significant change in the business climate, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition which could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach, using performance-metric market multiples. The discount rate used in an income approach is based on our weighted-average cost of capital and may be adjusted for the relevant risks associated with business-specific characteristics and any uncertainty related to a reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected future cash flows.

Assumptions and Estimates Used to Analyze Contingencies and Litigation

We are subject to various claims and contingencies associated with lawsuits, insurance, tax and other issues arising in the normal course of business. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management's view of the expected outcome. DXC consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with ASC 450 "Contingencies." Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions used in assessing the likelihood of an adverse outcome could have a material effect on our results of operations.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain financial data for fiscal 2022 and 2021:

Fiscal Years Ended
(In millions, except per-share amounts)March 31, 2022March 31, 2021
Revenues$16,265$17,729
Income before income taxes1,141654
Income tax expense405800
Net income (loss)$736$(146)
Diluted income (loss) per common share:$2.81$(0.59)

Fiscal 2022 Highlights

Fiscal 2022 financial highlights include the following:

•Fiscal 2022 revenues were $16,265 million, a decrease of 8.3% as compared to fiscal 2021. See "Revenues” below for additional information.

•Fiscal 2022 net income and diluted income per share were $736 million and $2.81, respectively, compared to net loss and diluted loss per share of $146 million and $0.59, respectively, for fiscal 2021. Net income increased by $882 million during fiscal 2022 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to increases in non-service components of net periodic pension income attributable to changes in mark-to-market actuarial assumptions and asset valuations, cost optimization realized in the current period, lower costs after the dispositions of the HPS and HHS businesses, lower transaction, separation and integration-related costs, a reduction in restructuring activities, and decreases in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by a reduction in revenue, an increase in debt extinguishment costs, and the gain on disposition of the HHS business during the third quarter fiscal 2021. Net income included the cumulative impact of certain items totaling $171 million during fiscal 2022, reflecting restructuring costs, transaction, separation and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gains on dispositions, impairment losses, debt extinguishment costs, pension and other post-retirement benefit ("OPEB") actuarial and settlement gains, and a tax adjustment.

•Fiscal 2022 income tax expense decreased significantly compared to fiscal 2021 as a result of the gain on disposition of the HHS business, which included the impact of non-tax deductible goodwill in fiscal 2021.

•Our cash and cash equivalents were $2,672 million at March 31, 2022.

•We generated $1,501 million of cash from operations during fiscal 2022, as compared to $124 million during fiscal 2021.

Revenues

During fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, the distribution of our revenues across operating segments and geographies were as follows:

(1) Constant currency revenues are a non-GAAP measure calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This information is consistent with how management views our revenues and evaluates our operating performance and trends. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

The decrease in revenues for fiscal 2022 compared with fiscal 2021, reflects the disposition of the HPS business during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, in addition to disposition of the HHS business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Project completions, project terminations, and contractual price adjustments also contributed to the decrease in revenues. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by additional services provided to new and existing customers, increased pass-through revenue associated with the resale of hardware and software, and increased run-rate project volumes. Fiscal 2022 revenues included a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 0.8%, primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian Dollar.

For a discussion of risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors subsections titled, "Our ability to compete in certain markets we serve is dependent on our ability to continue to expand our capacity in certain offshore locations. However, as our presence in these locations increases, we are exposed to risks inherent to these locations which may adversely affect our revenue and profitability." and “Our international operations are exposed to risks, including fluctuations in exchange rates, which may be beyond our control."

Global Business Services

Our GBS revenues were $7.6 billion for fiscal 2022, a decrease of 8.9% compared to fiscal 2021. GBS revenue in constant currency decreased 9.3% compared to fiscal 2021. The decrease in GBS revenues was primarily due to the disposition of the HPS business at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the disposition of the HHS business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, and project completions. The decrease in GBS revenues was partially offset by an increase in run-rate project volumes and additional services provided to new and existing customers.

41

Global Infrastructure Services

Our GIS revenues were $8.7 billion for fiscal 2022, a decrease of 7.7% compared to fiscal 2021. GIS revenue in constant currency decreased 8.9% compared to fiscal 2021. The decrease in GIS revenues reflects project completions, project terminations, a decrease in run-rate project volumes, and contractual price adjustments. The decrease in GIS revenues was partially offset by additional services provided to new and existing customers and increased pass-through revenue associated with the resale of hardware and software.

During fiscal 2022, GBS and GIS had contract awards of $9.4 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively, compared with $11.0 billion and $8.8 billion, respectively, during fiscal 2021.

Costs and Expenses

Our total costs and expenses were as follows:

Fiscal Years Ended
AmountPercentage of Revenues
(in millions)March 31, 2022March 31, 2021March 31, 2022March 31, 2021Percentage Point Change

Total costs and expenses$15,124$17,07593.0%96.3%(3.3)

The 330 basis point decrease in total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2022 primarily reflects cost optimization realized in the current period, lower costs after the dispositions of the HPS and HHS businesses, lower transaction, separation and integration-related costs, a reduction in restructuring activities, decreases in depreciation and amortization and an increase in other (income) expense attributed to income from non-service components of net periodic pension (income) expense, partially offset by a decrease in gain on disposition of businesses and an increase in debt extinguishment costs.

Costs of Services

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("COS"), was $12.7 billion for fiscal 2022, as compared to $14.1 billion in fiscal 2021. COS decreased $1.4 billion compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in COS was primarily due to cost optimization savings realized during fiscal 2022 and reduced costs resulting from the dispositions of the HPS business during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and the HHS business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. COS as a percentage of revenue decreased 1.7% as compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily driven by cost reductions exceeding the associated decline in revenue compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

42

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("SG&A"), was $1.4 billion for fiscal 2022, as compared to $2.1 billion in fiscal 2021. SG&A decreased $0.7 billion compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A was primarily driven by lower transaction, separation and integration-related costs, cost optimization savings realized during fiscal 2022, and reduced costs resulting from the dispositions of the HPS business during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and the HHS business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Transaction, separation and integration-related costs, included in SG&A, were $26 million during fiscal 2022, as compared to $358 million during fiscal 2021.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $625 million for fiscal 2022, as compared to $754 million in fiscal 2021. Depreciation expense decreased $129 million primarily due to a reduction in assets due to impairment of un-deployed assets in the prior year, and asset retirements.

Amortization expense was $1,092 million for fiscal 2022, as compared to $1,216 million in fiscal 2021. Amortization expense decreased $124 million primarily due to a decrease in customer related intangibles related to the disposition of the HHS business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and a reduction in transition and transformation contract cost amortization due to contract completions.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs represent severance related to workforce optimization programs and expense associated with facilities and data center rationalization.

During fiscal 2022, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our workforce and facility structures. Total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, during fiscal 2022 and 2021 were $318 million and $551 million, respectively.

See Note 22 - "Restructuring Costs" for additional information about our restructuring actions.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense for fiscal 2022 was $204 million, as compared to $361 million in fiscal 2021, a decrease of 43%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a reduction in bonds and term loans and the Company's refinancing of its high coupon debt during fiscal 2022, decreased amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility, and decreases to finance leases and asset financing.

Interest income for fiscal 2022 was $65 million, as compared to $98 million in fiscal 2021. The decrease in interest income was primarily driven by lower income from our multicurrency cash pools and money market accounts as well as decreases in lease interest income.

Debt Extinguishment Costs

Debt extinguishment costs for fiscal 2022 were $311 million, as compared to $41 million in fiscal 2021. Debt extinguishment costs for fiscal 2022 include costs related to the full redemption of our Euro-denominated term loan facility, two series of 4.45% senior notes due fiscal 2023, 4.25% senior notes due fiscal 2025, 2.75% senior notes due fiscal 2025, 4.125% senior notes due fiscal 2026, 4.75% senior notes due fiscal 2028, 7.45% senior notes due fiscal 2030, extinguishment of debt associated with asset financing, and costs related to the decrease in our revolving credit facility limit from $4 billion to $3 billion.

Debt extinguishment costs for fiscal 2021 consisted primarily of costs related to the redemption of 4.00% senior notes due fiscal 2024.

43

Gain on Dispositions

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, DXC sold its HPS business for $551 million which resulted in an estimated pre-tax gain on sale of $331 million, net of closing costs. Insignificant businesses were also sold during fiscal 2022 that resulted in a gain of $53 million. This was partially offset by $13 million in sales price adjustments related to prior year dispositions, which resulted from changes in projected closing net working capital.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, DXC sold its HHS business for $5.0 billion which resulted in an estimated pre-tax gain on sale of $2,014 million, net of closing costs. Insignificant businesses were also sold during fiscal 2021 that resulted in a loss of $10 million.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net comprises non-service cost components of net periodic pension (income) expense, movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges, equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and other miscellaneous gains and losses.

The components of other (income) expense, net for fiscal 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

Fiscal Years Ended
(in millions)March 31, 2022March 31, 2021
Non-service cost components of net periodic pension (income) expense$(1,066)$110
Foreign currency loss1314
Other gain(28)(22)
Total$(1,081)$102

The $1,183 million increase in other income, net, for fiscal 2022, as compared to the prior fiscal year, was due to a year-over-year increase of $1,176 million in non-service components of net periodic pension income attributable to changes in mark-to-market actuarial assumptions and asset valuations, a $6 million increase in other gains from sales of non-operating assets, and a year-over-year favorable foreign currency impact of $1 million.

Taxes

Our effective tax rate ("ETR") on income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes, for fiscal 2022 and 2021 was 35.5% and 122.3%, respectively. A reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the ETR, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 13 - "Income Taxes."

In fiscal 2022, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•Income Tax and Foreign Tax Credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $174 million and 15.2%, respectively.

•Changes in Luxembourg losses that increased the ETR by $1,609 million and 141.0%, respectively, with an offsetting decrease in the ETR due to a decrease in the valuation allowance of the same amount.

•Adjustments to uncertain tax positions that increased the overall income tax expense and the ETR by $78 million and 6.8%, respectively.

In fiscal 2021, the ETR was primarily impacted by:

•Impact of the HHS and other business divestitures, which increased tax expense and increased the ETR $344 million and 52.6%, respectively. The HHS tax gain increased tax expense and the ETR as the tax basis of assets sold, primarily goodwill, was lower than the book basis.

•Continued losses in countries where we are recording a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Belgium, Denmark, Italy, France, Luxembourg, and U.S., and an impairment of the full German deferred tax asset, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $1,565 million and 239.3%, respectively.

•An increase in Income Tax and Foreign Tax Credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $319 million and 48.7%, respectively.

44

•Local losses on investments in Luxembourg that increased the foreign rate differential and decreased the ETR by $1,226 million and 187.5%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount.

•The Company recognized adjustments to uncertain tax positions that increased the overall income tax expense and the ETR by $112 million and 17.2%, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has examined, or is examining, the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal 2008 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC’s fiscal 2008 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company participated in settlement negotiations with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for these tax years that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have an agreement in principle as to various audit adjustments, and we disagree with the IRS’ disallowance of certain losses and deductions resulting from restructuring costs and tax planning strategies in previous years. As we believe we will ultimately prevail on the technical merits of the disagreed items and are challenging them in the IRS Office of Appeals or the U.S. Tax Court, these matters are not fully reserved and would result in a federal and state tax expense of approximately $458 million (including estimated interest and penalties) for the unreserved portion of these items and related cash cost if we do not prevail. We have received notices of deficiency with respect to fiscal 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 and have timely filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court. We do not expect the U.S. Tax Court matters to be resolved in the next 12 months.

The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2008 through 2010 to April 30, 2022, for fiscal years 2014 through fiscal 2017 to February 28, 2023, and for the tax years ended October 31, 2017, and October 31, 2018, to September 30, 2023. The statute of limitations on assessments for fiscal years 2011 through 2013 has expired, with the exception of a $6 million refund claim for 2012 for which the statute remains open. However, as previously noted, fiscal years 2011 and 2013 are in the U.S. Tax Court and consequently these years will remain open until the U.S. Tax Court proceedings have concluded.

The Company expects to reach resolution with regard to disagreed items for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 no earlier than fiscal 2025, and to reach resolution for fiscal years 2014 through 2017, within 12 months.

The Company may settle certain other tax examinations for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. Consequently, the Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts or pay lower amounts than previously estimated and accrued when positions are settled in the future. The Company believes the outcomes that are reasonably possible within the next 12 months to result in a reduction in its liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carry-forwards, would be approximately $44 million.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Diluted earnings (loss) per share for fiscal 2022 was $2.81, as compared to $(0.59) in fiscal 2021. The earnings per share increase was due to an increase of $882 million in net income.

Diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2022 includes $0.99 per share of restructuring costs, $0.07 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.35 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.09 per share of impairment losses, $(0.93) per share of net gains on dispositions, $(1.99) per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains, $0.93 per share of debt extinguishment costs, and $0.17 per share of tax adjustments primarily relating to tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets and adjustments for changes in tax legislation.

Diluted loss per share for fiscal 2021 includes $1.79 per share of restructuring costs, $1.06 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.59 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.55 per share of impairment losses, $(4.22) per share of net gains on dispositions, $1.57 per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses, $0.12 per share of debt extinguishment costs, and $0.55 per share of tax adjustment relating to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets offset by changes in outside basis related to held for sale classification of the HPS business.

Ukraine / Russia Update

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, DXC exited its domestic Russian business. This action achieves a significant portion of our commitment to exit Russia. The sale of this business has provided continuing employment opportunities for many former DXC employees who have chosen to stay in Russia. The exit of this market will reduce revenues by approximately $140 million annually. The company is transitioning global business previously serviced by our DXC Russian colleagues to international teams and expects to complete this process by the end of the second quarter.

DXC's Ukraine business supported approximately $250 million of revenue, predominantly serving international customers. Despite the ongoing conflict, these revenues have only seen a minor impact stemming from the conflict. Our global teams have worked to augment their Ukrainian colleagues, and to continue to deliver for our customers through the conflict.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures of performance which are derived from the statements of operations of DXC. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS, and constant currency revenues.

We believe EBIT, adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses.

We believe constant currency revenues provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present constant currency revenues.

One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily customer-related intangible assets, from its non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.

Another category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income tax, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to DXC common stockholders, and non-GAAP EPS is impairment losses, which, if included, may result in a significant difference in period over period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and are not expected to occur frequently. Further assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies. Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are non-GAAP measures calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Fiscal 2022 Highlights.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP adjustments include:

•Restructuring costs – includes costs, net of reversals, related to workforce and real estate optimization and other similar charges.

•Transaction, separation and integration-related (“TSI”) costs – includes costs related to integration, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions.(1)

•Amortization of acquired intangible assets – includes amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations.

•Gains and losses on dispositions – gains and losses related to dispositions of businesses, strategic assets and interests in less than wholly-owned entities.(2)

•Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses.

•Debt extinguishment costs – costs associated with early retirement, redemption, repayment or repurchase of debt and debt-like items including any breakage, make-whole premium, prepayment penalty or similar costs as well as solicitation and other legal and advisory expenses.(3)

•Impairment losses – impairment losses on assets classified as long-term on the balance sheet.(4)

•Tax adjustments – reflects discrete tax adjustments to impair or recognize certain deferred tax assets and adjustments for changes in tax legislation. Income tax expense of merger and divestitures is separately computed based on the underlying transaction. Income tax expense of all other (non-discrete) non-GAAP adjustments is computed by applying the jurisdictional tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments on a jurisdictional basis.(5)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents ("cash") was $2.7 billion, of which $1.3 billion was held outside of the U.S. We maintain various multi-currency, multi-entity, cross-border, physical and notional cash and pool arrangements with various counterparties to manage liquidity efficiently that enable participating subsidiaries to draw on the Company’s pooled resources to meet liquidity needs.

A significant portion of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is not expected to be impacted by U.S. federal income tax upon repatriation. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign and U.S. state income tax consequences upon future remittance. Therefore, if additional funds held outside the U.S. are needed for our operations in the U.S., we plan to repatriate these funds not designated as indefinitely reinvested.

We have $0.2 billion in cash held by foreign subsidiaries used for local operations that is subject to country-specific limitations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. In addition, other practical considerations may limit our use of consolidated cash, including cash of $0.6 billion held in a German financial services subsidiary subject to regulatory requirements, and $0.2 billion held by majority owned consolidated subsidiaries where third-parties or public shareholders hold minority interests. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our German financial services subsidiary.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents(296)(711)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year2,9683,679
Cash and cash equivalents at end of year$2,672$2,968

Operating cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2022 was $1,501 million as compared to $124 million during fiscal 2021. The increase of $1,377 million was primarily due to an increase in net income, net of adjustments of $1,578 million, partially offset by a $201 million unfavorable change in working capital due to higher working capital outflows during fiscal 2022.

The following table contains certain key working capital metrics:

Cash conversion cycle2426(1)

50

Investing cash flow

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(60) million during fiscal 2022 as compared to $4,665 million during fiscal 2021. The decrease of $4,725 million was primarily due to a decrease in business dispositions of $4,414 million, the absence of proceeds from acquisitions and cash collections related to deferred purchase price receivables of $184 million and $159 million in fiscal 2021, and a decrease in proceeds from sale of assets of $64 million. This was partially offset by proceeds from short-term investing of $24 million in fiscal 2022.

Financing cash flow

Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2022 was $(1,818) million as compared to $(5,476) million during fiscal 2021. The $3,658 million decrease in cash used was primarily due to decreased net repayments on long-term debt of $2,624 million and net draws on commercial paper of $529 million. In addition, net repayments totaling $1,500 million were made during fiscal 2021 on lines of credit that were not drawn against during fiscal 2022 and dividends of $53 million were paid in fiscal 2021, but not paid during fiscal 2022. This was partially offset by share repurchases of $628 million in fiscal 2022, an increase in payments for debt extinguishment costs of $303 million, an increase in payments on capital leases and borrowings for asset financing of $60 million, and an increase in payments for other financing activities, net, of $58 million, primarily due to an $85 million repayment of liability resulting from a financing transaction entered in fiscal 2017.

Debt Financing

The following table summarizes our total debt:

As of
(in millions)March 31, 2022March 31, 2021
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt$900$1,167
Long-term debt, net of current maturities4,0654,345
Total debt$4,965$5,512

The $0.5 billion decrease in total debt during fiscal 2022 was primarily attributed to the retirement of all the remaining $319 million of the 4.45% senior notes due fiscal 2023 using the proceeds from the sale of our HPS Business, and the repurchase of the $33 million of the 4.125% senior notes due fiscal 2026. More than $550 million of net finance lease liabilities and borrowings for assets acquired under long-term financing were also repaid using the proceeds from the divestitures of other businesses and existing cash on hand. The decrease was partially offset by the issuance of Euro and U.S. Dollar Senior Notes of which proceeds were used to repay term loans and senior notes as discussed below.

Euro Senior Notes Issuance

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we issued (i) €750 million aggregate principal amount of our 0.450% senior notes due fiscal 2028 and (ii) €600 million aggregate principal amount of our 0.950% senior notes due fiscal 2032 (collectively, the “Euro Notes”). The proceeds from the Euro Notes were applied principally to the repayment in full of the €400 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings under our Euro-denominated term loan facility, the repayment of our U.S. dollar-denominated 4.25% senior notes due fiscal 2025 and the repayment of our Sterling-denominated 2.75% senior notes due fiscal 2025.

U.S. Dollar Senior Notes Issuance

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we issued (i) $700 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.80% senior notes due fiscal 2027, and (ii) $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.375% senior notes due fiscal 2029 (collectively, the “USD Notes”). The proceeds from the USD Notes were used for the repayment of our remaining 4.125% senior notes due fiscal 2026, our 4.75% senior notes due fiscal 2028 and our 7.45% senior notes due fiscal 2030.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, our credit ratings were as follows:

Rating AgencyLong Term RatingsShort Term RatingsOutlook
FitchBBBF-2Stable
Moody'sBaa2P-2Stable
S&PBBB--Stable

For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors subsection titled, "Failure to maintain our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs, could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing cost, and access to capital markets."

Liquidity

We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to continue using cash generated by operations as a primary source of liquidity; however, should we require funds greater than that generated from our operations to fund discretionary investment activities, such as business acquisitions, we have the ability to raise capital through debt financing, including the issuance of capital market debt instruments such as commercial paper and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize and will further utilize accounts receivable sales facilities, and our cross-currency cash pool for liquidity needs. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt financing, if required, on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.

Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.

The following table summarizes our total liquidity:

As of
(in millions)March 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents$2,672
Available borrowings under our revolving credit facility3,000
Total liquidity$5,672

During November 2021 we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, decrease available borrowings from $4.0 billion to $3.0 billion.

Share Repurchases

During fiscal 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our common stock and during fiscal 2019, our Board of Directors approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase. On February 2, 2022, we announced our intention to repurchase incrementally up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding shares of common stock in the open market. This program became effective on April 3, 2017 with no end date established. During fiscal 2022, we repurchased 18,818,934 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $634 million. See Note 16 - "Stockholders' Equity" for more information.

Dividends

To maintain our financial flexibility we continued to suspend payment of quarterly dividends for fiscal 2022.

52

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to arrangements that include guarantees, the receivables sales facility and certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and surety bonds. We also use performance letters of credit to support various risk management insurance policies. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company's balance sheets. See Note 6 - "Receivables" and Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2022, were as follows:

(3) Includes long-term purchase agreements with certain software, hardware, telecommunication and other service providers and excludes agreements that are cancellable without penalty. If we do not meet the specified service minimums, we may have an obligation to pay the service provider a portion of or the entire shortfall. See Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for more information.

(4) The transition tax resulted in recording a total transition tax obligation of $276 million, of which $284 million was recorded as income tax liability and $8 million recorded as a reduction in our unrecognized tax benefits, which has been omitted from this table. The transition tax is payable over eight years; 8% of net tax liability in each of years 1-5, 15% in year 6, 20% in year 7, and 25% in year 8. We have made our first four payments. See Note 13 - "Income Taxes" for additional information about the transition tax and the estimated liability related to unrecognized tax benefits

(5) Amounts represent scheduled interest payments on long-term debt and scheduled dividend payments associated with the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of a consolidated subsidiary excluding contingent dividends associated with the participation and variable appreciation premium features.

(6) See Note 13 - "Income Taxes" for additional information about the estimated liability related to unrecognized tax benefits, which has been omitted from this table. See Note 15 - "Pension and Other Benefit Plans" for the estimated liability related to estimated future benefit payments under our Pension and OPEB plans that have been omitted from this table.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates may change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. We consider the following policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them: revenue recognition, income taxes, business combinations, defined benefit plans and valuation of assets. We have discussed the selection of our critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

53

Revenue Recognition

Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple performance obligations.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or performance obligations to our customers, which may include a combination of services, products or both and may also contain leases embedded in those arrangements. As a result, significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in contracts with multiple performance obligations should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and any lease components and the timing of revenue recognition for each. For contracts with multiple performance obligations and lease components, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our contracts involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post-contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions.

Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various performance obligations and lease components, revenues for each are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for each. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.

Contract modifications

A contract modification is a legally binding change to the scope, price, or both of an existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract, and whether they modify an embedded lease. This determination requires significant judgment, which could impact the timing of revenue recognition.

Costs to obtain contracts with customers

Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period.

54

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, analyzing our income tax reserves, the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and any corresponding adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

As a global enterprise, our ETR is affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, the extent to which our non-U.S. earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, changes in tax regulations, acquisitions, dispositions and the tax characteristics of our income. We cannot predict with certainty what our ETR will be in the future because there is uncertainty regarding these factors. Future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.

The majority of our global unremitted foreign earnings have been taxed in the U.S. or would be exempt from U.S. tax upon repatriation. Such earnings and all current foreign earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. The following foreign earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested: approximately $495 million that could be subject to U.S. federal tax when repatriated to the U.S. under section 1.245A-5(b) of the final Treasury regulations; and our accumulated earnings in India as of March 31, 2021. A portion of these indefinitely reinvested earnings may be subject to foreign and U.S. state tax consequences when remitted. The Company will continue to evaluate its position based on its strategic objectives and future cash needs.

Considerations impacting the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset and historical and projected taxable income as well as tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of financial operations. We recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2022 due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. However, valuation allowances are subject to change in future reporting periods due to changes in various factors such as when inputs or estimates used in determining valuation allowances significantly change or upon the receipt of new information.

We determine whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit is recorded in our financial statements. A tax position is measured as the portion of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority (that has full knowledge of all relevant information). We may be required to change our provision for income taxes when the ultimate treatment of certain items is challenged or agreed to by taxing authorities.

The Finance Act 2021 in the U.K. took effect after Royal Assent was received in June 2021. The Finance Act 2021 included increases in the corporation tax and diverted profits tax rates beginning on April 1, 2023, establishes a new temporary 130% super deduction for first year capital allowances and temporarily extends the carry-back of trading losses. The increase in the U.K. corporate tax rate and super deduction have been factored into the calculation of our income tax provision.

55

Business Combinations

We account for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires us to estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This includes acquired intangible assets such as customer-related intangibles, the liabilities assumed and contingent consideration, if any. Liabilities assumed may include litigation and other contingency reserves existing at the time of acquisition and require judgment in ascertaining the related fair values. Independent appraisals may be used to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Such appraisals are based on significant estimates provided by us, such as forecasted revenues or profits utilized in determining the fair value of contract-related acquired intangible assets or liabilities. Significant changes in assumptions and estimates subsequent to completing the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, as well as differences in actual and estimated results, could result in material impacts to our financial results. Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in earnings. Additional information related to the acquisition date fair value of acquired assets and liabilities obtained during the allocation period, not to exceed one year, may result in changes to the recorded values of acquired assets and liabilities, resulting in an offsetting adjustment to the goodwill associated with the business acquired.

Defined Benefit Plans

The computation of our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations is dependent on various assumptions. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases and medical cost trend rates. Our management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on observable inputs for similar assets or on significant unobservable inputs if observable inputs are not available. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate.

Our weighted average rates used were:

March 31, 2022March 31, 2021
Discount rates2.0%2.4%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets4.4%5.6%

The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is impacted by the expected asset mix of the plan; judgments regarding the correlation between historical excess returns and future excess returns and expected investment expenses. The discount rate assumption is based on current market rates for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities similar to the expected duration of the benefit payment period. The following table provides the impact changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had on our net periodic pension benefits and settlement and contractual termination charges for fiscal 2022:

Valuation of Assets

We review long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy disclosed in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Assessing the fair value of assets involves significant estimates and assumptions including estimation of future cash flows, the timing of such cash flows, and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in projecting future cash flows. The valuation of long-lived and intangible assets involves management estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of assets, particularly purchased intangible assets. These estimates are subjective and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and forecasts.

Evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities, and goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The identification of reporting units involves consideration of components of the operating segments and whether or not there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by management. Additionally, we consider whether or not it is reasonable to aggregate any of the identified components that have similar economic characteristics. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions include a significant change in the business climate, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition which could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach, using performance-metric market multiples. The discount rate used in an income approach is based on our weighted-average cost of capital and may be adjusted for the relevant risks associated with business-specific characteristics and any uncertainty related to a reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected future cash flows.
