Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company guarantees certain loans and financial commitments. The maximum potential future payment under these financial guarantees and the fair value of these guarantees recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material. Additionally, the Company has contractual commitments that are noncancellable with certain software, hardware and cloud partners used in the delivery of services to customers. The Company has determined that these commitments may exceed the Companys needs over the next two to three years. If the Company is unable to satisfy, reduce or amend its contractual commitments, it will record the future charges for any payments related to excess commitments as cost of services. At March 31, 2025, we had short-term (April 2025 through March 2026), mid-term (April 2026 through March 2028) and long-term (April 2028 onward) purchase commitments in the amount of $0.2 billion, $0.6 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2025, contractual commitments decreased due to satisfaction of existing commitments outpacing new additions. As a Fortune 500 company with customers and employees around the world, Kyndryl is subject to, or could become subject to, either as plaintiff or defendant, a variety of contingencies, including claims, demands and suits, investigations, tax matters and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business.

NOTE 17. RETIREMENT-RELATED BENEFITS Defined Benefit Pension Plans The Company sponsors and co-sponsors defined benefit pension plans that cover certain non-U.S. employees and retirees. The defined benefit pension plan benefits are based principally on employees years of service and/or compensation levels at or near retirement.

NOTE 18. TRANSACTIONS WITH FORMER PARENT Change in Beneficial Ownership IBM transferred all of its 19.9% initially retained interest in Kyndryl common stock to a third-party financial institution through exchange agreements in May and August 2022. IBM ceased to be a related party of Kyndryl in August 2022. Transactions related to former Parent after August 11, 2022 are no longer reported as related-party activities. As a result, there was no related-party revenue or cost of services recognized subsequent to August 11, 2022. Revenue and Purchases Related to Former Parent While IBM was a related party, Kyndryl provided various services to IBM, including those related to hosting data centers and servicing IBMs information technology infrastructure, which are reported as revenue in the Companys Consolidated Income Statement. Related-party revenue generated from these services was $287 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. No related-party revenue was recognized after August 2022. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company reached an agreement to collect previously reserved receivables from our former Parent, which resulted in a gain recorded within transaction-related costs (benefits). Kyndryl utilizes various IBM products and services, recognized as costs of services, in the fulfillment of services contracts. While IBM was a related party, total cost of services recognized from these related-party transactions in the Companys Consolidated Income Statement was $1.4 bi

WORKFORCE REBALANCING AND SITE-RATIONALIZATION CHARGES During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company initiated actions to reduce our overall cost structure and increase our operating efficiency which continued through the end of the 2025 fiscal year. These actions resulted in workforce rebalancing charges and charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets (collectively, the Fiscal 2025 Program). The total charges incurred related to the Fiscal 2025 Program were $162 million, consisting of $114 million in workforce rebalancing charges and $48 million in charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets. The Company expects that these actions will reduce future payroll costs, rent expenses and depreciation of property and equipment.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION Disaggregation of Revenue The Company views its segment results to be the best view of disaggregated revenue. Refer to Note 4 Segments. Remaining Performance Obligations The remaining performance obligation (RPO) represents the aggregate amount of contractual deliverables yet to be recognized as revenue at the end of the reporting period. It is intended to be a statement of overall work under contract that has not yet been performed and does not include contracts in which the customer is not committed. The customer is not considered committed when it is able to terminate for convenience without payment of a substantive penalty. The RPO also includes estimates of variable consideration. RPO estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency. At March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of RPO related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $34.7 billion. Approximately 57 percent of the amount is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next two years, approximately 37 percent in the subsequent three years, and the balance thereafter. Revenue Recognized for Performance Obligations Satisfied (or Partially Satisfied) in Prior Periods For the year ended March 31, 2025, revenue increased by $59 million for performance obligations satisfied (or part

Segment reporting · 7,823 characters as filed

NOTE 4. SEGMENTS Our reportable segments correspond to how the chief operating decision maker (CODM), our chief executive officer, reviews performance and allocates resources. Our four reportable segments consist of the following: United States: This reportable segment is comprised of Kyndryls operations in the United States. Japan: This reportable segment is comprised of Kyndryls operations in Japan. Principal Markets: This reportable segment represents the aggregation of our operations in Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain / Portugal, and the United Kingdom / Ireland. Strategic Markets: This reportable segment is comprised of our operations in all other countries in which we operate. The Company made a minor change to its geographic reportable segments effective June 1, 2024 to reflect how the Company manages its operations and measures business performance, transitioning the reporting and management of its operations in Australia/New Zealand from the Principal Markets segment to the Strategic Markets segment. All historical segment information has been recast to reflect this change. The measure of segment operating performance used by Kyndryls CODM is adjusted EBITDA , which allows our CODM to evaluate operating results excluding certain items whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and

NOTE 9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS INCLUDING GOODWILL Intangible Assets The following table presents the Companys intangible asset balances by major asset class. At December 31, 2025 At March 31, 2025 Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying (Dollars in millions) Amount Amortization Amount Amount Amortization Amount Capitalized software $ 162 $ (51) $ 111 $ 216 $ (76) $ 141 Customer relationships* 118 (73) 45 121 (60) 61 Completed technology 13 (4) 9 13 (2) 11 Patents and trademarks* 14 (11) 3 15 (10) 5 Total $ 307 $ (140) $ 167 $ 365 $ (148) $ 218 * Amounts include effects from foreign currency translation. The net carrying amount of intangible assets decreased by $51 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the reclassification of certain capitalized software intangibles to prepaid assets and other noncurrent assets resulting from the migration of on-premises software to a cloud-based solution. The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense was $14 million and $42 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $18 million and $54 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. This included amortization of capitalized software of $7 million and $22 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, which was reported in Depreciation of property, equipment and capitalized software on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Income taxes · 1,419 characters as filed

NOTE 5. TAXES For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Companys effective tax rate was 37.4%, compared to 16.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Companys effective tax rate was 35.7%, compared to 42.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The Companys effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and the nine months ended December 31, 2024, was higher than the Companys statutory tax rate primarily due to taxes on foreign operations and valuation allowances recorded in certain jurisdictions against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was lower than the Companys statutory tax rate because the tax expense associated with the Companys Securities Industry Services divestiture (see Note 8 Acquisitions and Divestitures) was below the statutory rate. In July 2025, the U.S. government enacted new tax legislation that, among other things, made permanent items such as 100% bonus depreciation on certain fixed assets, immediate expensing of domestic research costs and an increased business interest expense limitation. It also included modifications to several international tax provisions. The Company has recorded no material incremental tax expense or benefit related to the legislation.

NOTE 14. WORKFORCE REBALANCING AND SITE-RATIONALIZATION CHARGES During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company initiated actions to reduce our overall cost structure and increase our operating efficiency which we expect to continue through the end of the fiscal year 2026. We expect these actions will result in workforce rebalancing charges (the Fiscal 2026 Program) of approximately $60 million. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company implemented actions to reduce our overall cost structure and increase our operating efficiency (the Fiscal 2025 Program). The total charges incurred related to the Fiscal 2025 Program were $162 million, consisting of $114 million in workforce rebalancing charges and $48 million in charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets. The Company expects that these actions will reduce future payroll costs, rent expenses and depreciation of property and equipment.

Revenue recognition · 5,687 characters as filed

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION Disaggregation of Revenue The Company views its segment results to be the best view of disaggregated revenue. Refer to Note 4 Segments. Remaining Performance Obligations The remaining performance obligation (RPO) represents the aggregate amount of contractual deliverables yet to be recognized as revenue at the end of the reporting period. It is intended to be a statement of overall work under contract that has not yet been performed and does not include contracts for which the customer is not committed. The customer is not considered committed when it is able to terminate for convenience without payment of a substantive penalty. The RPO also includes estimates of variable consideration. RPO estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency. At December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of RPO related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $33.6 billion. Approximately 57 percent of the amount is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next two years, approximately 38 percent in the subsequent three years, and the balance thereafter. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, revenue was increased by $42 million and $39 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, revenue was increased
