NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
DXC Technology Company (“DXC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) helps global companies run their mission critical systems and operations while modernizing IT, optimizing data architectures, and ensuring security and scalability across public, private and hybrid clouds. The world’s largest companies and public sector organizations trust DXC to deploy services to drive new levels of performance, competitiveness and customer experience across their IT estates.
Basis of Presentation
In order to make this report easier to read, DXC refers throughout to (i) the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the “financial statements,” (ii) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the “statements of operations,” (iii) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as the “statements of comprehensive income (loss),” (iv) the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the “balance sheets,” and (v) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the “statements of cash flows.” In addition, references are made throughout to the numbered Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Notes”) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of DXC, its consolidated subsidiaries, and those business entities in which DXC maintains a controlling interest. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for by the equity method. Other investments are accounted for by the cost method. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component within equity in the balance sheets. Net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are presented separately in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests are presented separately in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain amounts reported in the previous year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. These financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”).

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, cash flows used in the evaluation of impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, reserves for uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, loss accruals for litigation, and obligations related to our pension plans. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary, including those of a normal recurring nature, to fairly present the financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) effective after September 30, 2023 are not expected to have a material effect on DXC’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Divestitures
During the first six months of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, the Company sold insignificant businesses that resulted in a loss of $7 million and $3 million, respectively.
Note 3 – Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and equity awards. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Receivables Facility
The Company has an accounts receivable sales facility (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of September 30, 2023, the “Receivables Facility”) with certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the “Purchasers”) for the sale of commercial accounts receivable in the United States up to a maximum amount of $400 million. The Receivables Facility was amended on July 28, 2023 extending the termination date to July 26, 2024.
As of September 30, 2023, the total availability under the Receivables Facility was $384 million and the amount sold to the Purchasers was $378 million, which was derecognized from the Company’s balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an asset of $6 million within accounts receivable because the amount of cash proceeds received by the Company under the Receivables Facility was less than the total availability.
The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to the short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded.
Note 5 – Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for data centers, corporate offices, and certain equipment. Its leases have remaining lease terms of one to ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to ten years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one to three years.

Note 7 – Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company’s objective is to reduce earnings volatility by offsetting gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or any speculative purposes.
Derivatives Designated for Hedge Accounting
Cash flow hedges
The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to reduce foreign currency risk related to certain Euro and Indian Rupee-denominated obligations and forecasted transactions. The notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were $889 million and $842 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the related forecasted transactions extend through September 2025.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, the Company had no cash flow hedges for which it was probable that the hedged transaction would not occur.
See Note 15 - “Stockholders’ Equity” for changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, related to the Company’s derivatives designated for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2023, $1 million of the existing amount of gain related to the cash flow hedge reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Derivatives Not Designated for Hedge Accounting
The derivative instruments not designated as hedges for purposes of hedge accounting include certain short-term foreign currency forward contracts. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company manages the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies by using short-term foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, including intercompany accounts and forecasted transactions. The net notional amounts of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively.

| | Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | | $ | 13 | | | $ | 16 | | | | | | | |
The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts represents the estimated amount required to settle the contracts using current market exchange rates and is based on the period-end foreign currency exchange rates and forward points that are classified as Level 2 inputs.
Other Risks for Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to the risk of losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative contracts. The amount subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments is generally limited to the amount, if any, by which a counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations of the Company with that counterparty. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. With respect to its foreign currency derivatives, as of September 30, 2023, there were six counterparties with concentration of credit risk, and based on gross fair value, the maximum amount of loss that the Company could incur is $21 million.
The Company also enters into enforceable master netting arrangements with some of its counterparties. However, for financial reporting purposes, it is the Company’s policy not to offset derivative assets and liabilities despite the existence of enforceable master netting arrangements. The potential effect of such netting arrangements on the Company’s balance sheets is not material for the periods presented.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Non-Derivative Financial Instruments Designated for Hedge Accounting
The Company applies hedge accounting for foreign currency-denominated debt used to manage foreign currency exposures on its net investments in certain non-U.S. operations. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging instrument must be highly effective at reducing the risk from the exposure being hedged.
Net Investment Hedges
DXC seeks to reduce the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its net investments in certain non-U.S. operations with foreign currency-denominated debt. For foreign currency-denominated debt designated as a hedge, the effectiveness of the hedge is assessed based on changes in spot rates. For qualifying net investment hedges, all gains or losses on the hedging instruments are included in currency translation. Gains or losses on individual net investments in non-U.S. operations are reclassified to earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) when such net investments are sold or substantially liquidated.
As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, DXC had $265 million and $272 million, respectively, of foreign currency-denominated debt designated as hedges of net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the pre-tax gain on foreign currency-denominated debt designated for hedge accounting recognized in other comprehensive loss was $8 million and $7 million, respectively.

Goodwill Impairment Analyses
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if circumstances change, or if an event occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company concluded that, as a result of its qualitative assessment performed on July 1, 2023, it remained more likely than not that the fair value of the GBS reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company assessed whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below its carrying amount and require goodwill to be tested for impairment. The Company determined that there have been no such indicators and therefore, it was unnecessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2023.

Note 14 – Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 22.7% and 48.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and 31.6% and 25.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, U.S. tax on foreign income, a decrease in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and the foreign tax credit. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, U.S. tax on foreign income, and the tax impact of business divestitures. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, tax impact of business divestitures, U.S. tax on foreign income, and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to income tax audit settlements and statute of limitation expirations.
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 $471 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 in the future based on its future strategy and cash needs.
In connection with the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”) and the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (the “HPES Merger”), the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”). HPE generally will be responsible for tax liabilities arising prior to the HPES Merger, and DXC is liable to HPE for income tax receivables it receives related to pre-HPES Merger periods. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company recorded a $16 million tax indemnification receivable related to uncertain tax positions, a $52 million tax indemnification receivable related to other tax payables, and a $91 million tax indemnification payable related to other tax receivables.

In connection with the spin-off of the Company’s former U.S. public sector business (the “USPS Separation”), the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with Perspecta Inc. (including its successors and permitted assigns, “Perspecta”). The Company generally will be responsible for tax liabilities arising prior to the USPS Separation, and Perspecta is liable to the Company for income tax receivables related to pre-spin-off periods. Income tax liabilities transferred to Perspecta primarily relate to pre-HPES Merger periods, for which the Company is indemnified by HPE pursuant to the tax matters agreement between the Company and HPE. The Company remains liable to HPE for tax receivables transferred to Perspecta related to pre-HPES Merger periods. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company recorded a $17 million tax indemnification receivable from Perspecta related to other tax receivables and a $6 million tax indemnification payable to Perspecta related to income tax and other tax payables.
In connection with the sale of its healthcare provider software business (“HPS”), the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with Dedalus. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company generally will be responsible for tax liabilities arising prior to the sale of the HPS business.
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 $491 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. During the first six months of 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 do not expect the U.S. Tax Court matters to be resolved in the next 12 months.
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 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.
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. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions increased by $2 million (excluding interest and penalties and related tax attributes) primarily due to the benefit of U.S. research and development income tax credits. 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 $14 million.

Note 16 – Stock Incentive Plans
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) represent the right to receive one share of DXC common stock upon a future settlement date, subject to vesting and other terms and conditions of the award, plus any dividend equivalents accrued during the award period. The Company also grants performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), which generally vest over a three-year period. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is dependent upon the Company’s achievement of certain specified market- and performance-based criteria over the three-year vesting period. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is based on the Company’s common stock closing price on the grant date. For PSUs with a market-based condition, DXC uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the grants.

Reconciliation of Reportable Segment Profit to Consolidated Total
The Company's management uses segment profit as the measure for assessing performance of its segments. Segment profit is defined as segment revenues less cost of services, segment selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and other income (excluding the movement in foreign currency exchange rates on DXC's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges). The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses managed at the corporate level. These unallocated costs generally include certain corporate function costs, stock-based compensation expense, pension and other post-retirement benefit (“OPEB”) actuarial and settlement gains and losses, restructuring costs, transaction, separation, and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Contingencies
Forsyth, et al. v. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise: On August 18, 2016, this purported class and collective action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, against HP and HPE alleging violations of the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and California state law, in connection with workforce reductions that occurred in or after August 2012 in California, and in or after as early as December 2014 in other U.S. locations. Former business units of HPE now owned by the Company, and former business units of the Company now owned by Peraton (formerly Perspecta), may be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter.
In December 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary certification of the collective action, which Defendants opposed. In April 2021, the court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary certification and lifted the previously imposed stay of the action. In November 2021, notice was sent to putative members of the ADEA collectives regarding participation in the case. In February 2022, the notice period closed. In September 2023, the parties entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the matter and submitted it to the District Court for approval. In October 2023, the District Court entered an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement.
Securities Litigation: Previously disclosed securities litigation matters have been dismissed, with one case remaining, in the Superior Court of the State of California.
On August 20, 2019, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, against the Company, directors of the Company, and a former officer of the Company, among other defendants. The action asserts claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is premised on allegedly false and/or misleading statements, and alleged non-disclosure of material facts, regarding the Company’s prospects and expected performance. The putative class of plaintiffs includes former shareholders of Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”) who exchanged their CSC shares for the Company’s common stock pursuant to the offering documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the April 2017 transaction that formed DXC.
The State of California action had been stayed pending the outcome of the substantially similar federal action filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The federal action was dismissed with prejudice in December 2021. Thereafter, the state court lifted the stay and entered an order permitting additional briefing by the parties. In March 2022, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which the Company moved to dismiss. In August 2022, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, but permitted Plaintiffs to amend and refile their complaint. In September 2022, Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which the Company moved to dismiss. In January 2023, the Court issued an order denying the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. In March 2023, the Court entered a scheduling order setting a trial date for September 2025. A hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is scheduled for January 2024. The case is otherwise in discovery.
DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The Company believes that the final remaining lawsuit described above is also without merit, and intends to vigorously defend it.
Tax Examinations: The Company is under IRS examination in the U.S. on its federal income tax returns for certain fiscal years and is in disagreement with the IRS on certain tax positions, which are currently being contested in the U.S. Tax Court. For more detail, see Note 14 – “Income Taxes” for further information.
OFAC Matter: In August 2022, the Company submitted an initial notification of voluntary self-disclosure to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding potential violations of U.S. sanctions on Russia. The self-disclosure pertains to the Company’s sale of Luxoft’s Russia business to IBS Holding LLC in April 2022, as part of the Company’s exit from the Russian market following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Company has also submitted an initial notification of voluntary self-disclosure to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) regarding potential export control violations in connection with its exit from the Russian market. The Company’s review of potential sanctions violations is ongoing, and the Company may make further disclosures to relevant agencies as its review continues.
In addition to the matters noted above, the Company is currently subject in the normal course of business to various claims and contingencies arising from, among other things, disputes with customers, vendors, employees, contract counterparties and other parties, as well as securities matters, environmental matters, matters concerning the licensing and use of intellectual property, and inquiries and investigations by regulatory authorities and government agencies. Some of these disputes involve or may involve litigation. 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 regulatory compliance and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these and other matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and the impact of the final resolution of these and other matters on the Company’s results of operations in a particular subsequent reporting period could be material and adverse, management does not believe based on information currently available to the Company, that the resolution of any of the matters currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to determine at this time a reasonable estimate of a possible loss or range of losses associated with the foregoing disclosed contingent matters.

(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."
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, our total revenue was $3.4 billion, a decrease of $130 million or 3.6%, compared to the same period a year ago. The 3.6% decrease against the comparative period includes a 2.0% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, a 2.0% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, and a 3.6% decline in organic revenue. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
For the first six months of fiscal 2024, our total revenue was $6.9 billion, a decrease of $391 million or 5.4%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The 5.4% decrease against the comparative period includes a 0.5% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact, a 2.3% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, and a 3.6% decline in organic revenue.
The favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact is primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British Pound.
For the discussion of risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Global Business Services
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, GBS revenue was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $4 million or 0.2%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The 0.2% decrease against the comparative period includes a 4.2% 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 and a 1.6% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact.
For the first six months of fiscal 2024, GBS revenue was $3.4 billion, a decrease of $59 million or 1.7%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The 1.7% decrease against the comparative period includes a 4.8% decline in revenue from the disposition of certain businesses, partially offset by 2.8% organic revenue growth from additional services provided to new and existing customers, and a 0.3% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact.
Global Infrastructure Services
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, our GIS revenue was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $126 million or 6.8%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The 6.8% decrease against the comparative period includes a 9.1% decline in organic revenue from project completions and lower resale revenue, partially offset by a 2.3% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact.
For the first six months of fiscal 2024, our GIS revenue was $3.5 billion, a decrease of $332 million or 8.7%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The 8.7% decrease against the comparative period includes a 9.5% decline in organic revenue from project completions and lower resale revenue, partially offset by a 0.8% favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact.

Costs of Services
Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs (“COS”), were $2.6 billion and $5.4 billion for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, a decrease of $142 million and $353 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
The decrease in expense against both comparative periods was primarily due to a decrease in costs from lower revenue levels and a reduction in professional services and contractor-related expenses from our cost optimization efforts, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of $52 million and $29 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024.
Gross margin (Revenues less COS as a percentage of revenue) was 23.4% and 22.2% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, an increase of 1.2% and 0.6% against the comparative period.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs (“SG&A”), was $328 million and $655 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, an increase of $4 million and a decrease of $18 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
The $4 million increase in expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to an increase in professional services and other vendor-related expenses, partially offset by reductions in payroll related expenses.
The $18 million decrease in expense for the first six months of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to reductions in payroll related expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional services and other vendor-related expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation expense was $112 million and $225 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, a decrease of $17 million and $42 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in depreciation expense against both comparative periods was primarily due to lower average net property and equipment balances.
Amortization expense was $249 million and $480 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, a decrease of $2 million and $22 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in amortization expense against both comparative periods was primarily due to lower software amortization.
Restructuring Costs
During fiscal 2024, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our facility and data center requirements. During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, were $35 million and $55 million, respectively, a decrease of $18 million and $31 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
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 $25 million and $42 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, an increase of $9 million as compared to both periods of the prior fiscal year.
The increase in net interest expense against both comparative periods was primarily due to higher interest rates globally that increased interest expense from securitization and commercial paper, partially offset by higher income from cash deposits.
Loss on Disposition of Businesses
During the first six months of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, the Company sold insignificant businesses that resulted in a loss of $7 million and $3 million, respectively.
Other Income, Net
Other 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.

Other income, net, was $76 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $8 million against the comparative period. Other income, net, was $140 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $32 million against the comparative period. The change against the comparative period was primarily due to:
•net periodic pension income decreased by $24 million and $54 million primarily due to changes in expected returns on assets and other actuarial assumptions.
•foreign currency gains were immaterially different and increased by $6 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 $2 million and $19 million; and
•an increase in other gains of $34 million and $35 million, primarily from the sale of a strategic investment in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Taxes
Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 22.7% and 48.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and 31.6% and 25.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, U.S. tax on foreign income, a decrease in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and the foreign tax credit. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, U.S. tax on foreign income, and the tax impact of business divestitures. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, tax impact of business divestitures, U.S. tax on foreign income, and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to income tax audit settlements and statute of limitation expirations.
Earnings Per Share
Diluted EPS for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 was $0.49 and $0.65, respectively, an increase of $0.37 and $0.10, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in diluted EPS against both comparative periods was primarily due to increases in net income attributable to DXC common stockholders and lower weighted average share counts from the Company’s share repurchases.
Diluted EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 includes $0.13 per share of restructuring costs, $0.01 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $0.34 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $(0.11) per share of net gains on dispositions, $0.01 per share of impairment losses, and $(0.17) per share of tax adjustments.
Diluted EPS for the first six months of fiscal 2024 includes $0.20 per share of restructuring costs, $0.01 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $0.66 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $(0.09) per share of net gains on dispositions, $0.04 per share of impairment losses, and $(0.15) per share of tax adjustments.
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, 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 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, represents the Company’s current estimate of potential liability to HPE for a tax related indemnification; and in fiscal 2023, represents the Company’s estimate of potential liability to HPE for indemnification following the outcome of the Oracle v. HPE litigation in June 2022. 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)
•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 the impact of merger and divestitures. Income tax expense of all other (non-discrete) non-GAAP adjustments is based on the difference in the GAAP annual effective tax rate (AETR) and overall non-GAAP provision (consistent with the GAAP methodology).
(1)During the first six months of fiscal 2024, the Company sold insignificant businesses and a strategic investment that resulted in a net gain of $28 million. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, the Company sold insignificant businesses that resulted in a net loss of $3 million.
(2)Impairment losses on dispositions for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 include a $2 million and a $5 million, respectively, of charges associated with certain strategic investments accounted for within Other income, net. Impairment losses on dispositions for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 included $4 million of Net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net of tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents (“cash”) were $1.4 billion, of which $0.7 billion was held outside of the U.S. As of March 31, 2023, our cash was $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 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 $0.1 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 during the first six months of fiscal 2024 of $375 million was flat as compared to the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Operating cash flow against the comparative period included:
•a decrease in net income, net of adjustments of $154 million;
•offset by a $154 million favorable change in working capital.
The following table contains certain key working capital metrics:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | |
Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable | | (44) | | | (55) | | | |
Cash conversion cycle | | 21 | | | 15 | | | |
Investing cash flow
Net cash used in investing activities was $284 million and $193 million, respectively, during the first six months of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, reflecting a year-over-year change of $91 million. The change against the comparative period was primarily due to:
•a decrease in proceeds from sales of assets and business dispositions of $44 million and $51 million, respectively;
•a decrease in cash flows from other net investing activities of $7 million;
•partially offset by an $11 million decrease in capital expenditures.
Financing cash flow
Net cash used in financing activities was $521 million and $513 million, respectively, during the first six months of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, reflecting a year-over-year change of $8 million. The change against the comparative period was primarily due to:
•a $254 million increase in cash used for share repurchase activity and related taxes paid on net share settlements; partially offset by
•a $203 million increase in cash inflows from commercial paper borrowings, net of repayments and other financing activities; and
•a $43 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) | | September 30, 2023 | | March 31, 2023 |
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt | | $ | 672 | | | $ | 500 | |
Long-term debt, net of current maturities | | 3,791 | | | 3,900 | |
Total debt | | $ | 4,463 | | | $ | 4,400 | |
The $63 million increase in total debt during the first six months of fiscal 2024 was primarily attributable to the increase in borrowings of commercial paper partially offset by decreases in finance leases and borrowings for asset financing attributable to payments exceeding additions and a favorable 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 September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.
Our credit ratings are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Rating Agency | | Long Term Ratings | | Short Term Ratings | | Outlook |
Fitch | | BBB | | F-2 | | Stable |
Moody’s | | Baa2 | | P-2 | | Stable |
S&P | | BBB- | | - | | Stable |
For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
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, term loans, and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize, and further utilize accounts receivables, sales facilities, and our cross-currency cash pool for liquidity needs. However, 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 that require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contracts and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.
Our total liquidity of $4.4 billion as of September 30, 2023, includes $1.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $3.0 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On November 1, 2023, the Company extended the term and increased its available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to $3.2 billion.
Share Repurchases
See Note 15 – “Stockholders’ Equity.”
Dividends
To maintain our financial flexibility, we continue 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 securitization 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 our condensed consolidated balance sheets. There have been no material changes to our off-balance-sheet arrangements reported under Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, other than as disclosed in Note 4 – “Receivables” and Note 19 – “Commitments and Contingencies”.
Cash Commitments
There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to our cash commitments since March 31, 2023. For further information see “Cash Commitments” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
For our minimum purchase cash commitments as of September 30, 2023, in connection with our long-term purchase agreements with certain software, hardware, telecommunication, and other service providers, see Note 19 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K except as mentioned in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting DXC, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since March 31, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 19 – “Commitments and Contingencies” to the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Contingencies” for information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In such case, the trading price for DXC common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future financial performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Future performance and historical trends may be adversely affected by the aforementioned risks, and other variables and risks and uncertainties not currently known or that are currently expected to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations or the price of our common stock in the future. There have been no material changes in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

| | | | | | | | |
On April 3, 2017, we announced the establishment of a share repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors with an initial authorization of $2.0 billion for future repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. On November 8, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization. During the first six months of fiscal 2024, DXC completed the remaining share repurchases under the above authorizations.
On May 18, 2023, DXC announced that its Board approved an incremental $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Share repurchases may be made from time to time through various means, including in open market purchases, 10b5-1 plans, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchases, block trades and other transactions, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, as well as, to the extent applicable, other federal and state securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases pursuant to the share repurchase plan are at the discretion of management and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") into law. The IRA imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases completed after December 31, 2022. We reflect the excise tax within equity as part of the repurchase of the common stock.
See Note 15 - "Stockholders’ Equity" for further information.
