SEC filingRevenue declined 5% YoY to $767M, driven by divestitures and Commercial weakness, partially offset by Transportation growth.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Conduent reported revenue of $767 million, a 5% decline from $807 million in the prior year period. Approximately 67% of the decrease was attributable to the divestiture of the Casualty Claims Solutions business. Excluding divestitures, the decline was driven by lower revenue in Commercial (lost business and volume decreases) and anticipated reductions in certain Government benefit programs, partially offset by new business ramp and higher equipment sales in Transportation.
Net income swung to a loss of $46 million from a profit of $123 million in Q3 2024, primarily due to the absence of a $188 million gain on divestitures recorded in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $40 million (5.2% margin) from $36 million (4.5% margin), reflecting cost efficiencies and margin improvement initiatives, particularly in the Government segment.
Commercial revenue declined 5% to $367 million, driven by lower volumes, partially offset by new business ramp and a multi-year licensing agreement. Segment profit increased to $17 million from $15 million, aided by the licensing agreement and cost efficiencies.
Government revenue fell 7% to $238 million due to contract losses, lower volumes, and completion of implementations, partially offset by new business ramp. Segment profit decreased slightly to $48 million from $50 million, but Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 210 basis points to 25.6%, driven by AI-enabled fraud prevention activities and margin improvement initiatives.
Transportation revenue grew 15% to $162 million, driven by equipment sales to a large Transit Solutions customer, increased volumes, and favorable exchange rates. Segment profit improved to a loss of $3 million from a loss of $6 million, benefiting from the revenue drivers and the absence of costs to transition a Road Usage Charging contract.

No specific forward guidance was provided.
As of September 30, 2025, Conduent held $248M in cash and equivalents, down from $366M at year-end 2024. Total debt (including current portion) stood at $713M, up from $639M at December 31, 2024, driven by net borrowings under the revolving credit facility ($134M outstanding) and new finance leases. The company had $198M unused capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility and $11M under the Performance Letter of Credit Facility. Shareholders' equity decreased to $717M from $843M, primarily due to net losses and treasury stock purchases.
