The Transportation segment offers systems and support comprising mission-critical mobility and payment solutions to government clients.

Key revenue streams include healthcare and benefit services, transportation solutions like tolling and transit system management, and government and public sector services such as child support payment processing.

Conduent Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Conduent's financial performance indicates significant challenges. Declining revenues highlight sales struggles, while inconsistent profitability and negative cash flow raise sustainability concerns. Improved leverage ratios offer some relief, but overall financial stability is hindered by cash generation issues.

Income Statement

Conduent's TTM gross profit margin stands at 33.7%, a healthy level, but the net profit margin is concerning at 12.7% due to past negative net incomes. Revenue has been on a declining trend, dropping from $4.16 billion in 2020 to $3.35 billion TTM, indicating challenges in maintaining sales growth. EBIT and EBITDA margins show some improvement, but overall profitability remains under pressure.

Balance Sheet

The debt-to-equity ratio improved to 0.90 in TTM, indicating better leverage management compared to previous years. However, the ROE is positive at 50.8% TTM, but this reflects volatility rather than sustainable profitability. The equity ratio is at 32.3%, suggesting moderate financial stability, but the past high liabilities remain a concern.

Cash Flow

The free cash flow is negative at -$112 million TTM, highlighting cash generation issues. The operating cash flow to net income ratio is negative due to negative operating cash flow, raising alarm on cash efficiency. The free cash flow trajectory has been erratic, and financing cash flows are heavily negative, pointing to liquidity challenges.
