Overview and Basis of Presentation
Concentrix is a global technology and services leader that powers exceptional brand experiences and digital operations for more than 2,000 clients across the globe. We design, build, and run fully integrated, end-to-end solutions, including customer experience ("CX") process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics, and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, including voice, chat, email, GenAI- and agentic AI-powered self-service, social media, asynchronous messaging,
and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.
We generate revenue from performing services and providing technology that is generally tied to our clients' products and services. Any shift in business, demand, or the size of the market for our clients' products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients' products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity.
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
We generate revenue through the provision of technology and services to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contain the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are generally subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days' notice.
Our technology and services are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 99% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions is typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our technology and services. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the technology and services, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately 90% and 89%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 52% and 54%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars. We expect that a significant amount of our revenue will continue to be generated from our non-U.S. operations while being priced in U.S. dollars. We have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the Egyptian pound, the Columbian peso, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs, and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.
Margins
Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our technology and services are delivered, client volume trends, the amount of lead time that is required for programs or services to become fully scaled, and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are generally able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs as our volumes increase.
Economic and Industry Trends
The industry in which we operate is competitive, including on the basis of pricing terms, delivery capabilities, and quality of services. Labor in various markets is also subject to competitive pressures that can result in increased labor costs. These factors subject us to pricing and labor cost pressures that can negatively affect our revenue, gross profit, and operating income.
Our business operates globally in 74 countries across six continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Brazil, the United States, Egypt, Türkiye, Colombia, Malaysia, Morocco, China, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere
throughout EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we historically have and expect to continue to be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
From time to time since January 2025, the U.S. government has imposed, or threatened to impose, new or increased tariffs on certain countries, materials, and industries, and in response, certain impacted countries have imposed or threatened various retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions on imports from the United States. The tariff environment remains dynamic, and we cannot predict with certainty the effect of future changes in global trade policy and tariffs on our clients' operations and demand for our services in future periods.
Seasonality
Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients' businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year than in any other fiscal quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025.

We generate revenue by delivering our technology and services to our clients categorized in the above industry verticals. Our solutions focus on customer engagement, process optimization, and back-office automation.
Our revenue decreased by 1.2% for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from decreases in our healthcare, technology and consumer electronics, and communications and media verticals partially offset by increases in revenue across our banking, financial services and insurance, retail, travel and e-commerce, and other verticals. Foreign currency exchange rates had a negative impact of $16.2 million, or 0.7%, on revenue for the period. The unfavorable foreign currency rate impact on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the Turkish lira against the U.S. dollar.
Our revenue increased by 2.0% for the nine months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from increases in revenue across our banking, financial services and insurance, retail, travel and e-commerce, and other verticals partially offset by decreases in our healthcare, technology and consumer electronics, and communications and media verticals. Foreign currency exchange rates had a positive impact of $95.7 million, or 1.3%, on revenue growth for the period. The favorable foreign currency rate impact on revenue was primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
For the three months ended August 31, 2026, revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical decreased by 10.0%, primarily due to decreases in revenue for certain larger clients in the vertical. Revenue in our retail, travel and e-commerce vertical increased by 6.4%, primarily due to increases in revenue across the majority of clients in this vertical, including our largest clients in the vertical. Revenue in our communications and media vertical decreased by 7.1%, primarily due to a decrease in revenue with a
larger client in the vertical partially offset by increases in revenue from certain clients in the vertical. Revenue in our banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased by 12.5%, primarily due to increases in revenue from certain clients in the vertical, including several of our largest clients in the vertical. Revenue in our healthcare vertical decreased by 16.6%, primarily due to decreases in revenue from several larger clients in the vertical. Revenue in our other vertical increased by 3.6%, primarily related to increases in revenue related to several larger clients in the vertical.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.
Our cost of revenue decreased by 1.4% in the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025. Cost of revenue decreased $26.1 million, or 1.6%, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which was caused primarily by the weakening of the Turkish lira and several other currencies against the U.S. dollar. Additionally, lower wages and reduced temporary contract service costs contributed to the decrease in cost of revenue. These decreases were partially offset by higher restructuring expenses, primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs resulting from the Company's recent cost reduction initiatives.
Our cost of revenue increased by 3.8% in the nine months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2025. Cost of revenue increased $36.6 million, or 0.8%, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which was caused primarily by the strengthening of the euro and several other currencies against the U.S. dollar. Cost of revenue also increased due to an increase in restructuring expenses, primarily related to severance expenses and employee-related costs as a result of the Company's recent cost reduction initiatives. Further increases in cost of revenue resulted from wage increases across certain countries.
Our gross profit decreased by 0.7% in the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in gross profit associated with underlying business. These decreases were mainly due to increases in cost of revenue associated with severance and employee-related costs as previously described. The decreases were partially offset by a net favorable foreign currency impact of $9.9 million on gross profit. Our gross margin percentage for the three months ended August 31, 2026 increased to 34.6% from 34.4% in the prior fiscal year period due to the changes to revenue and gross profit previously described.
Our gross profit decreased by 1.5% in the nine months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to the increases in cost of revenue associated with severance and employee-related costs as previously described. The decreases were partially offset by a net favorable foreign currency impact of $59.1 million on gross profit. Our gross margin percentage for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 decreased to 34.0% from 35.2% in the prior fiscal year period due to the changes to revenue and gross profit previously described.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 0.2% in the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025. Contributing to the increase over the prior year period was an increase of $5.7 million related to restructuring expenses, which was offset by a reduction of $6.2 million due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net consist primarily of interest expense on our senior notes, interest expense on term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility, interest expense on borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization Facility"), and, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, interest expense on the promissory note issued by us to certain sellers in connection with our combination with Webhelp (the "Sellers' Note").
The decrease in interest expense and finance charges, net for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025, was primarily due to lower interest expense due to less debt outstanding during the period in comparison to the prior year. This decrease in interest expense included $8.8 million of interest expense associated with the Sellers' Note in the prior year period that did not recur in the current period as it was repaid in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, partially offset by a net increase in interest expense associated with our remaining borrowings in comparison to the prior year period, primarily related to our term loan borrowings.
The decrease in interest expense and finance charges, net for the nine months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2025, was primarily due to lower interest expense due to less debt outstanding during the period in comparison to the prior year. This decrease in interest expense included $25.0 million of interest expense associated with the Sellers' Note in the prior year period that did not recur in the current period as it was repaid in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, partially offset by an increase of $6.3 million associated with our early redemption of $600.0 million principal amount of our senior notes due in August 2026 and a net increase in interest expense associated with our remaining borrowings, primarily related to our term loan borrowings.

Our provision for income taxes consists of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions.
Our provision for income taxes decreased for the three months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025. The decrease in expense was primarily due to the geographic mix of worldwide income taxes and a decrease in income before taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2026 decreased compared to the three months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in income before taxes related to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge.
Our provision for income taxes decreased for the nine months ended August 31, 2026, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2025. The decrease in expense was primarily due to a decrease in income before taxes and a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 decreased compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in income before taxes related to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and certain discrete items.
Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:
•Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income (loss), adjusted to exclude impairment charge, acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, loss on held for sale and share-based compensation.
•Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.
•Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation (exclusive of step-up depreciation).
•Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.
•Non-GAAP net income, which is net income (loss) excluding the tax-effected impact of impairment charge, acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, loss on held for sale, share-based compensation, certain debt costs, imputed interest related to the Sellers' Note, certain legal settlement costs, change in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP net income also excludes the income tax effect of certain tax law changes.
•Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, and adjusted free cash flow, which is free cash flow excluding the effect of changes in the outstanding factoring balance. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows because it removes the effect of factoring which changes the timing of the receipt of cash for certain receivables. However, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations because they do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.
•Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax-effected impact of impairment charge, acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses, step-up depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, loss on held for sale, share-based compensation, certain debt costs, imputed interest related to the Sellers' Note, certain legal settlement costs, change in acquisition contingent consideration and foreign currency losses (gains), net. Non-GAAP EPS also excludes the per share income tax effect of certain tax law changes. Non-GAAP EPS also reflects a per share adjustment to exclude non-GAAP net income attributable to participating securities.
We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of customer relationships, technology, and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors' ability to compare our past financial performance with our current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired, or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1) For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026, acquisition-related, integration and restructuring expenses primarily included restructuring costs associated with the Company's recent cost reduction initiatives, including severance and employee-related costs. Restructuring expenses also included costs associated with facilities consolidation, including lease terminations. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, acquisition-related, integration and restructuring costs primarily included integration costs associated with our combination with Webhelp and restructuring expenses. These costs primarily included severance and employee-
related costs, costs associated with facilities consolidation, including lease terminations to integrate the businesses, and information technology system consolidation costs.
(2) For the nine months ended August 31, 2026, debt costs included debt extinguishment costs associated with our early redemption of $600.0 million of our senior notes due in August 2026. For the nine months ended August 31, 2025, debt costs included debt extinguishment costs associated with our Restated Credit Agreement and our voluntary prepayment of a portion of our outstanding term loans.
(3) For the nine months ended August 31, 2025, legal settlement costs consist of amounts incurred to settle certain litigation arising outside of the ordinary course of business.
(4) Foreign currency losses (gains), net are included in other expense (income), net and primarily consist of gains and losses recognized on the revaluation and settlement of foreign currency transactions and realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
(5) The tax effect of taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments was calculated using the tax-deductible portion of the expenses and applying the entity specific, statutory tax rates applicable to each item during the respective periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash are working capital, capital expenditures to expand our delivery footprint and enhance our technology solutions, debt repayment, acquisitions, and acquisition-related and integration expenses. Our financing needs for these uses of cash have been a combination of operating cash flows and third-party debt arrangements. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable. When our revenue is increasing, our net investment in working capital typically increases. Conversely, when revenue is decreasing, our net investment in working capital typically decreases. To increase our market share and better serve our clients, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities, and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, available liquidity, including capacity on our debt arrangements, or the issuance of securities.
In September 2021, considering our strong free cash flow, low leverage, and adequate liquidity to support capital return to stockholders while maintaining flexibility to pursue acquisitions, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. In January 2025, our board of directors extended our share repurchase program by authorizing an increase of the amount remaining for share repurchases under the existing share repurchase authorization to $600.0 million. The share repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the three months ended August 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program. During the nine months ended August 31, 2026, we repurchased 1,081,121 shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for approximately $43.2 million in the aggregate. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, we repurchased 783,698 and 2,247,399 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the share repurchase program for approximately $41.6 million and $112.8 million, respectively, in the aggregate. At August 31, 2026, approximately $396.6 million remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from our board of directors.
During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, we paid the following dividends per share approved by our board of directors:

On September 29, 2026, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.37 per share to stockholders of record as of October 23, 2026, payable on November 3, 2026.
We expect that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors' approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.
Debt Arrangements
Senior Notes
On February 24, 2026, we issued and sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes were sold in a registered public offering pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3, which became effective upon filing, and a Prospectus Supplement dated February 12, 2026, to a Prospectus dated July 17, 2023.
We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes, together with other available funds, to redeem $600.0 million of our 6.650% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), of which $800.0 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding immediately before giving effect to such redemption. We recorded debt extinguishment costs of $6.3 million associated with this early redemption of a portion of the 2026 Notes in the nine months ended August 31, 2026. On August 3, 2026, we redeemed all $200.0 million of the remaining aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes.
On August 2, 2023, we issued and sold (i) $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.600% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and (ii) $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.850% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, together with the 2028 Notes and 2029 Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The 2028 Notes and 2033 Notes were sold in a registered public offering pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3, which became effective upon filing, and a Prospectus Supplement dated July 19, 2023, to a Prospectus dated July 17, 2023.
The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of August 2, 2023 (the "Base Indenture"), between Concentrix and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2028 Notes, a third supplemental indenture dated as of August 2, 2023 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2033 Notes, and a fourth supplemental indenture dated as of February 24, 2026 between Concentrix and the Trustee relating to the 2029 Notes (such supplemental indentures, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). The Indenture contains customary covenants and restrictions, including covenants that limit Concentrix Corporation's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to create or incur liens on shares of stock of certain subsidiaries or on principal properties, engage in sale/leaseback transactions or, with respect to Concentrix Corporation, consolidate or merge with, or sell or lease substantially all its assets to, another person. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.
The interest rate payable on the 2029 Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if any of Moody's, S&P or Fitch (in each case, as defined in the Indenture) (or, in each case, a substitute rating agency therefor), downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating applicable to the 2029 Notes.
In fiscal year 2023, we entered into cross-currency swap arrangements with certain financial institutions for a total notional amount of $500.0 million, which represented $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. As part of the senior notes refinancing that occurred in February 2026, we extended cross-currency swap arrangements with certain financial institutions for a total notional amount equivalent to $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes (previously associated with $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes).
In addition to aligning the currency of a portion of our interest payments to our euro-denominated cash flows, the arrangements, together with intercompany loans and additional intercompany cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements, effectively converted $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes and $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes into synthetic fixed euro-based debt, both at weighted average interest rates of 5.18%.
Restated Credit Agreement
On April 11, 2025, we entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") with the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, the L/C issuer and the swing line lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the existing administrative agent, the existing L/C issuer and the existing swing line lender, to amend and restate the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 21, 2023 (the "Existing Credit Agreement" and, as so amended and restated by the Amendment Agreement, the "Restated Credit Agreement"). The Amendment Agreement appoints Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent under the Restated Credit Agreement, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
The Restated Credit Agreement provides for (i) an unsecured three-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $750.0 million (the "New Term Loan Facility"), (ii) an unsecured three-year delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million (the "3-Year DD Term Loan Facility"), which was drawn in full in September 2025, (iii) an unsecured five-year delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million (the "5-Year DD Term Loan Facility", and together with the 3-Year DD Term Loan Facility, the "Delayed Draw Term Loans"), which was drawn in full in September 2025, and (iv) a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $1,100.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Restated Credit Agreement also provided for the conversion and continuation of loans in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million under our prior unsecured term loan facility into loans under an unsecured term loan facility with the same maturity as such converted and continued loans (the "Continued Term Loan Facility"). Aggregate borrowing capacity under the Restated Credit Agreement may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million by increasing the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility commitments or by incurring additional term loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase(s).
The maturity date of the New Term Loan Facility and the 3-Year DD Term Loan Facility is September 30, 2028. The maturity date of the 5-Year DD Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility is April 11, 2030, subject, in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, to two one-year extensions upon our prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date. The maturity date of the Continued Term Loan Facility is December 27, 2026.
The outstanding principal amount of each of the New Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loans is payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25% of the existing principal balance of the applicable term loan, commencing on September 30, 2025, in the case of the New Term Loan Facility, and on March 31, 2026, in the case of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, with the outstanding principal amount of the New Term Loan Facility, the Delayed Draw Term Loans, and the Continued Term Loan Facility due in full on the applicable maturity date.
Borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of SOFR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an applicable margin, based on the credit ratings of Concentrix' senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money plus a credit spread adjustment to the SOFR rate of 0.10%. The applicable margin ranges from 1.000% to 1.500% for the New Term Loan Facility and the 3-Year DD Term Loan Facility, 1.100% to 1.600% for the 5-Year DD Term Loan Facility, 1.125% to 2.000% for the Continued Term Loan Facility, and 0.875% to 1.500% for the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate (but not less than 1.0%) equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the "prime rate" (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) in effect on such day, (B) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) in effect on such day plus 0.500%, and (C) the adjusted one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus (ii) an applicable margin, based on the credit ratings of Concentrix' senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money. The applicable margin ranges from 0.000% to 0.500% for the New Term Loan Facility, the 3-Year DD Term Loan Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility, 0.100% to 0.600% for the 5-Year DD Term Loan Facility, and 0.125% to 1.000% for the Continued Term Loan Facility.
In September 2025, in connection with the issuance of the Delayed Draw Term Loans of $750.0 million, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest component associated with the debt, creating synthetic fixed-rate debt. Concurrent with entering the interest rate swaps, we entered into cross-currency swap arrangements with certain financial institutions for a total notional amount equivalent to $750.0 million. In addition to aligning the currency of our interest payments to the Company's euro-denominated cash flows, the arrangements, together with intercompany loans and additional intercompany cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements, effectively converted the Delayed Draw Term Loans into synthetic fixed euro-based debt at weighted average interest rates of 3.43% for the three-year term loan and 3.69% for the five-year term loan.
The Restated Credit Agreement contains certain loan covenants that are customary for credit facilities of this type and that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, or other fundamental changes to the nature of their business, and, solely with respect to subsidiaries of Concentrix, incurrence of indebtedness. In addition, the Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require Concentrix to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or for certain periods following certain qualified acquisitions, 4.25 to 1.00) and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) no less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Restated Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.
As of August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on our term loans was $1,818.8 million and $1,965.6 million. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026, we made required quarterly principal payments of $18.8 million and $46.9 million on our term loans. In addition, during the nine months ended August 31, 2026, we voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million of the principal balance on our term loans, without penalty.
None of our subsidiaries guarantees the obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement.
At August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Securitization Facility
Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix Corporation and certain of its U.S. based subsidiaries sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix Corporation that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings. On March 20, 2026, we entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility to increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings from up to $700.0 million to up to $750.0 million and extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from January 14, 2027 to March 20, 2028. Borrowings that are funded by certain lenders through such lenders' issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.75%. Other borrowings bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (subject to a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.90%. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by our accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of our clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).
The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Restated Credit Agreement and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix Corporation, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.
As of August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants related to our debt arrangements.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $442.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2026, compared to $462.7 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2025. The change over the prior year period was primarily related to a decrease in net income prior to the non-cash impairment charge, an increase in payments for severance expenses, and unfavorable working capital changes.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 was $128.9 million, compared to $172.1 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2025. The change over the prior year period was primarily related to proceeds on the sale of property and equipment of $17.1 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2026 and a decrease of $22.4 million in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 was $383.3 million, primarily consisting of repayment of the remaining $200.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2026 Notes, principal payments of $146.9 million on our term loan borrowings, share repurchases of $43.2 million, dividends paid of $69.3 million and change in funds held for clients of $3.3 million, all partially offset by net borrowings of $83.5 million under our Securitization Facility. The net proceeds from the issuance of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes were used to redeem $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2025 was $211.4 million, primarily consisting of principal payments of $150.0 million on our term loan borrowings, share repurchases of $112.8 million, dividends paid of $66.4 million, change in funds held for clients of $19.2 million, deferred acquisition consideration payments of $6.5 million, payments on other borrowings of $6.2 million, debt issuance costs of $4.8 million, all partially offset by net borrowings of $154.0 million under our Securitization Facility.

Our free cash flow was $293.8 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 compared to $291.3 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2025. The increase in free cash flow for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 compared to the prior fiscal year period was due to the decrease in capital expenditures partially offset by the decrease in cash provided by operating activities.
Our adjusted free cash flow was $316.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 compared to $339.3 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2025. The decrease in adjusted free cash flow for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 compared to the prior year period was due to a decrease in the change in outstanding factoring balances partially offset by an increase in free cash flow.
Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2026, we had total liquidity of $1,485.3 million, which includes undrawn capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility of $1,100.0 million, undrawn capacity of $129.5 million under our Securitization Facility, and cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale.
Our cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale, totaled $255.8 million and $329.4 million as of August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, 98% and 98% were held by our non-U.S. legal entities as of both August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. legal entities are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States; repatriation of some non-U.S. balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all non-U.S. cash to fund our international operations and expansions; however, we have recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities that are likely to be repatriated in the future. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the impact of the state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation.
We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures, and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financing activities.
