2021 Annual Report Delivering eXcellence for our Customers and Colleagues Message from the CEO “Our transformation journey is well underway with clear results that illustrate our commitment to delivering excellence.” Mike Salvino President and CEO DXC Technology 1 I hope you and your families are doing well. Let me start by thanking our DXC customers and colleagues for the trust they have placed in us. Our transformation journey is well underway with clear results that illustrate our commitment to delivering excellence. We are proud to have launched our new brand, which gives clear meaning to the letters “DXC”: “Delivering eXcellence for our Customers and Colleagues.” Our brand is innovative. Our new logo has two arrows pointing to the X, reminding us to deliver excellence in everything we do for our customers and colleagues. We also introduced our new core values: Deliver, Collaborate, Community, Care, and Do the right thing. This is truly a “new DXC.” We have been running a structured playbook, which is our proven methodology for how we transform a company to deliver sustainable growth. The stabilization phase was completed in FY21. In FY21, starting with our colleagues, we moved from a workforce that was not engaged to one that is now engaged and inspired. Concerning our customers, we went from challenged accounts to building a level of customer intimacy where we are delivering, building strong partnerships and being proactive. We have simplified our operating model and changed the direction of our revenues and margins from declining to improving. We are winning in the market, and we significantly decreased our debt, taking our balance sheet from highly leveraged to strengthened. These efforts are leading to stable revenue growth, improved margins and continued success in the market. We are on the right trajectory. As the world witnesses the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our focus continues to be on our people. I am proud of the dedication and perseverance of our team as they continue to take care of themselves, each other and their families, and deliver for our customers. Our Progress People / Culture Customers Revenue / Margin Trajectory Marketplace Balance Sheet Past Attrition Today Inspired / Engaged Challenged Positive Declining Losing Improving Winning Highly Leveraged Strengthened At the beginning of the outbreak, we enabled 99% of our people worldwide to work virtually and opened a COVID-19 Command Center that still runs 24/7. Employees have access to virtual mental health services and other resources. We have conducted mental health awareness and resiliency sessions and augmented our Employee Assistance Program globally. Where possible, in severely impacted geographies, we have increased health insurance benefits and deployed other specific support. And where necessary and permitted, we are facilitating access to vaccines in support of government roll-outs. In closing, I am pleased with the momentum that we have achieved and confident we will continue to deliver excellence for our customers and colleagues in FY22 and the longer term. FY22 will be the year we build the foundation for growth. We will retain and continue to attract talent, and we will build on our customer intimacy to deliver revenue stability and continue to win in the market, all while we expand margins and deliver increased free cash flow. Thank you for your trust and commitment to DXC.

Sales and Marketing We market and sell our services to customers through our direct sales force, operating out of locations around the world. Our customers include commercial businesses of many sizes and in many industries and public sector enterprises. No individual customer exceeded 10% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020, or fiscal 2019. Seasonality General economic conditions have an impact on our business and financial results. The markets in which we sell our solutions, services and productions occasionally experience weak economic conditions that may negatively affect sales. We also experience some seasonal trends in the sale of our services. For example, contract awards and certain revenue are often tied to the timing of our customers' fiscal year-ends, and we also experience seasonality related to our own fiscal year-end selling activities. 4 Competition The IT and professional services markets we compete in are highly competitive and are not dominated by a single company or a small number of companies. A substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with those we offer. In addition, the increased importance of offshore labor centers has brought several foreign-based competitors into our markets. Our competitors include: • • • • • large multinational enterprises that offer some or all of the services and solutions that we offer; smaller companies that offer focused services and solutions similar to those that we offer; offshore service providers in lower-cost locations, particularly in India that sell directly to end-users; solution or service providers that compete with us in a specific industry segment or service area; and in-house functions of corporations that use their own resources rather than engaging an outside IT services provider. The principal methods of competition in the markets for our solutions and services include: • • • • • • • • • • • vision and strategic advisory ability; integrated solutions capabilities; performance and reliability; global and diverse talent; delivery excellence and ongoing support; responsiveness to customer needs; competitive pricing of services; technical and industry expertise; reputation and experience; quality of solutions and services; and financial stability and strong corporate governance. Our ability to obtain new business and retain existing business is dependent upon the following: • • • • • • • • technology, industry and systems know-how with an independent perspective on best solutions across software, hardware, and service providers; ability to offer improved strategic frameworks and technical solutions; investments in our services and solutions; focus on responsiveness to proactively address customer needs, quality of services and competitive prices; successful management of our relationships with leading strategic and solution partners in hardware, networking, cloud, applications and software; project management experience and capabilities, including delivery; end-to-end spectrum of IT and professional services we provide; and financial stability and strong corporate governance. Intellectual Property We rely on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyrights, and trademarks, as well as contractual protections to protect our business interests. While our technical services and products are not generally dependent upon patent protection, we do selectively seek patent protection for certain inventions likely to be incorporated into products and services or where obtaining such proprietary rights will improve our competitive position. As our patent portfolio has been built over time, the remaining terms of the individual patents across the patent portfolio vary. We believe that our patents and patent applications are important for maintaining the competitive differentiation of our solutions and services and enhancing our freedom to sell solutions and services in markets in which we choose to participate. No single patent is in itself essential to our company as a whole or to any business segment. 5 Additionally, we own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks, and trade names that are used in the operation of our business. We also own or have the rights to copyrights that protect the content of our products and other proprietary materials. In addition to developing our intellectual property portfolio, we license intellectual property rights from third parties as we deem appropriate. We have also granted and plan to continue to grant licenses to others under our intellectual property rights when we consider these arrangements to be in our interest. These license arrangements include a number of cross- licenses with third parties. Environmental Regulation Our operations are subject to regulation under various federal, state, local, and foreign laws concerning the environment and sustainability, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the clean-up of contaminated sites. Environmental costs and accruals are presently not material to our operations, cash flows or financial position; and, we do not currently anticipate material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities. However, we could incur substantial costs including clean-up costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions and third-party damage or personal injury claims if we were to violate or become liable under existing and future environmental laws or legislation. Human Capital Management As a leading global information technology services company, we attract highly skilled and educated people. As of March 31, 2021, we employed approximately 134,000 people worldwide. At DXC our people are our number one asset - ensuring they feel valued and respected. Value of Employee Engagement We value our people and take various actions for employee engagement. We assess employee engagement at least annually through a global engagement survey. During the past year, 77% of our people participated in the survey, which resulted in an Employee Engagement Index measuring 72%. Based on feedback received through periodic engagement surveys, management has implemented several initiatives to improve the employee experience from rewards and recognition, communications and process improvement. Various platforms like Global Talent Management, Coaching & Mentoring, Career Development programs, and global recognition are also used to improve employee experiences and engagement. Management During COVID-19 We are committed to keeping our people safe and well. DXC employees are equipped and enabled to work virtually and flexibly from home today and continue to deliver results for our customers. Science and data will remain the drivers of our approach as we continue to navigate through COVID-19, and ensure the safety and well-being of our people. We will remain flexible and ready to react quickly if required to deliver for our customers. We recognize that this is an opportunity for DXC to change the employee experience in an impactful way. Training and Education We view professional development as a corporate responsibility — a strategic investment in our employees’ and the company’s future. Through our global learning management ecosystem, we offer hundreds of learning programs as well as a career development system to help employees reach their potential. Providing ways to learn, grow, and explore new and challenging opportunities contribute to our ability to retain a motivated, knowledgeable workforce. Assessing employee abilities and contributions is a cornerstone of development at DXC. Our self-directed learning culture encourages employees to learn at their own pace and in a learning environment of their preference. Key to our people development is the role managers play – we remain focused on equipping and enabling our people leaders to ensure our people have leaders that guide and support them in their development and success. 6 Inclusion & Diversity We are committed to an Inclusive and Diverse workforce. The DXC Global Diversity and Non-Discrimination Policy guides our engagement in management and hiring practices that promote diversity and inclusion. Human Rights We are committed to the protection and advancement of human rights and to ensuring that our operations in communities around the world function with integrity. DXC is firmly committed to preventing the exploitation of vulnerable groups. Our main human rights–related focus areas are promoting good practice through our large and diverse global supply chain and supporting a diverse and inclusive corporate culture.

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 Annual Report. 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. Risk Factor Summary The following is a summary of the risk factors our business faces. The list below is not exhaustive, and investors should read this "Risk Factors" section in full. Some of the risks we face include: Risks Related to Our Business • Our business and financial results have been adversely affected and could continue to be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 crisis. • We may not succeed in our strategic objectives and our strategic transactions may prove unsuccessful. • We could be held liable for damages, our reputation could suffer, or we may experience service interruptions, from security breaches, cyber-attacks or disclosure of confidential information or personal data. • Our ability to continue to develop and expand our service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends, including our ability to sell differentiated services up the Enterprise Technology Stack, may impact our future growth. • Our ability to compete in certain markets we serve is dependent on our ability to continue to expand our capacity in certain offshore locations. However, as our presence in these locations increases, we are exposed to risks inherent to these locations which may adversely affect our revenue and profitability. • Our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing, cost and access to capital markets. • We have indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. • Our primary markets are highly competitive. If we are unable to compete in these highly competitive markets, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. • • If we are unable to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected. Performance under contracts, including those on which we have partnered with third parties, may be adversely affected if we or the third parties fail to deliver on commitments or otherwise breach obligations to our customers. • Our ability to provide customers with competitive services is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. • Our international operations are exposed to risks, including fluctuations in exchange rates. • Our business operations are subject to various and changing federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that could result in costs or sanctions that adversely affect our business. 10 • We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of our restructuring plans and our restructuring may adversely affect our business. • We may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and our inability to procure third-party licenses may result in decreased revenue or increased costs. • We may be exposed to negative publicity and other potential risks if we are unable to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. • We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Without effective internal control over financial reporting, we may fail to detect or prevent a material misstatement in our financial statements, which could materially harm our business, our reputation and our stock price. • We could suffer additional losses due to asset impairment charges. • We may not be able to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock. • Pending litigations may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability and liquidity. • We may be adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets, including disruptions that reduce our customers' access to credit and increase the costs to our customers of obtaining credit, and our hedging program is subject to counterparty default risk. • We derive significant revenues and profit from contracts awarded through costly competitive bidding processes, and we may not achieve revenue and profit objectives if we fail to bid on these projects effectively. • • • If our customers experience financial difficulties, we may not be able to collect our receivables. If we are unable to maintain and grow our customer relationships over time or to comply with customer contracts or government contracting regulations or requirements, our operating results and cash flows will suffer. Recent U.S. tax legislation may materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and changes in our tax rates could affect our future results. Risks Related to Our Strategic Transactions • We could have an indemnification obligation to HPE if the stock distribution in connection with the HPES business separation were determined not to qualify for tax-free treatment. • If the HPES Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, CSC's former stockholders may incur significant tax liabilities. • We assumed certain material pension benefit obligations following the HPES Merger. These liabilities and future funding obligations could restrict our cash available for operations, capital expenditures and other requirements. • The USPS Separation and Mergers and NPS Separation could result in substantial tax liability to DXC and our stockholders. 11 Risks Related to Our Business Our business and financial results have been adversely affected and could continue to be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The COVID-19 crisis has caused disruptions in global economies, financial and commodities markets and rapid shifts in governmental and public health policies in the countries where we operate or our customers are located or the industries in which we and our customers compete. The COVID-19 crisis and the actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals to curtail the spread of the disease have negatively impacted, and are expected to continue to negatively impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19, the speed at which the vaccine is distributed, the number of individuals in general who agree to receive the vaccine along with the number of our employees receiving the vaccine. In addition, the recent COVID-19 strain mutations may also hamper the vaccine's effectiveness. Negative impacts that have occurred, or may occur in the future, include disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to work effectively, as well as temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers or our subcontractors, or the requirements to deliver our services remotely. A significant portion of our application outsourcing and software development activities is in India, which is currently experiencing a high rate of COVID-19 infections. Continued public health threat and government responses could materially adversely affect our operations and the delivery of our services. Negative impacts from COVID-19 could potentially affect our ability to perform under our contracts with customers. Cost increases may not be recoverable from customers or covered by insurance, which could impact our profitability. If a business interruption occurs and we are unsuccessful in our continuing efforts to minimize the impact of these events, our business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the COVID-19 crisis has resulted in a widespread global health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets of many countries, which could result in an economic downturn that may negatively affect demand for our services, including the financial failure of some of our customers. This economic downturn, depending upon its severity and duration, could also lead to the deterioration of worldwide credit and financial markets that could limit our customers’ ability or willingness to pay us in a timely manner and our ability to obtain external financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures, result in losses on our holdings of cash and investments due to failures of financial institutions and other parties, and result in a higher rate of losses on our accounts receivables due to credit defaults. Our financial results may also be materially and adversely impacted by a variety of factors related to COVID-19 that have not yet been determined, including potential impairments of goodwill and other assets, and changes to our contingent liabilities, for which actual amounts may materially exceed management estimates and our calculation of global tax liabilities. Even after the COVID-19 crisis has subsided, depending upon its duration and potential recurrence, and the governmental policies in response thereto, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that may occur or be continuing as a result. We continue to evaluate the extent to which the COVID-19 crisis has impacted us and our employees, customers and suppliers and the extent to which it and other emerging developments will impact us and our employees, customers and suppliers in the future. We caution investors that any of the factors mentioned above could have material and adverse impacts on our current and future business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. To the extent the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting economic disruption continue to adversely affect our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those relating to our level of indebtedness, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness and to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness and our counterparty credit risk. 12 We may not succeed in our strategic objectives, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our transformation journey focuses on our customers, optimizing costs and seizing the market. Our strategic priorities include an initiative to assist DXC customers across a broader range of their information technology needs, which we refer to as “the enterprise technology stack.” We may not be able to implement our strategic priorities and progress on our transformation journey in accordance with our expectations for a variety of reasons, including failure to execute on our plans in a timely fashion, lack of adequate skills, ineffective management, inadequate incentives, customer resistance to new initiatives, inability to control costs or maintain competitive offerings. We also cannot be certain that executing on our strategy will generate the benefits we expect. If we fail to execute successfully on our strategic priorities, or if we pursue strategic priorities that prove to be unsuccessful, our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected. We could be held liable for damages, our reputation could suffer, or we may experience service interruptions, from security breaches, cyber-attacks, other security incidents or disclosure of confidential information or personal data, which could cause significant financial loss. As a provider of IT services to private and public sector customers operating in a number of industries and countries, we store and process increasingly large amounts of data for our customers, including sensitive and personally identifiable information. We also manage IT infrastructure of our own and of customers. We possess valuable proprietary information, including copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property and we collect and store certain personal and financial information from customers and employees. Our security measures designed to identify and protect against security incidents may fail to detect, prevent or adequately respond to a future threat incident. Security incidents can result from unintentional events or deliberate attacks by insiders such as employees, contractors or service providers or third parties, including criminals, competitors, nation-states, and hacktivists. These incidents can result in significant disruption to our business through an impact on our operations or those of our clients, employees, vendors or other partners; loss of data (including proprietary, confidential or otherwise sensitive or valuable information) for us, our clients, employees, vendors or partners; reputational damage, injury to customer relationships, liability (whether contractual or otherwise) for any of the above, including monetary damages; remediation costs; regulatory actions from regulators; any of which, or a combination of which, could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. The regulatory environment related to information security and data privacy is evolving rapidly and the Company will need to expend time and resources to ensure compliance with these evolving regulations, and failure to understand and comply with these regulations can have an impact on the Company, its results of operations, and financial condition. The continued occurrence of high-profile data breaches and cyber-attacks, including by nation-state actors, reflects an external environment that is increasingly hostile to information and corporate security. Like other companies, we face an evolving array of information security and data security threats that pose risks to us and our customers. We can also be harmed by attacks on third parties, such as denial-of-service attacks. We see regular unauthorized efforts to access our systems, which we evaluate for severity and frequency. For example, in July 2020, certain systems of our subsidiary, Xchanging, experienced a ransomware attack. While incidents experienced thus far have not resulted in significant disruption to our business, it is possible that we could suffer a severe attack or incident, with potentially material and adverse effects on our business, reputation, customer relations, results of operations or financial condition. In the event of a security incident, we could be exposed to regulatory actions, customer attrition due to reputational concerns or otherwise, containment and remediation expenses, and claims brought by our customers or others for breaching contractual confidentiality and security provisions or data protection or privacy laws. We must expend capital and other resources to protect against security incidents, including attempted security breaches and cyber-attacks and to alleviate problems caused by successful breaches or attacks. The cost, potential monetary damages, and operational consequences of responding to security incidents and implementing remediation measures could be significant and may be in excess of insurance policy limits or be not covered by our insurance at all. 13 We rely on internal and external information and technological systems to manage our operations and are exposed to risk of loss resulting from security incidents, including breaches in the security or other failures of these systems. Security incidents such as through an advanced persistent threat attack, or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us, or our customers, could expose us to risk of loss of this information, regulatory scrutiny, actions and penalties, extensive contractual liability and other litigation, reputational harm, and a loss of customer confidence, which could potentially have an adverse impact on future business with current and potential customers. Moreover, failure to maintain effective internal accounting controls related to data security breaches and cybersecurity in general could impact our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements and could subject us to regulatory scrutiny. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments may result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms that we use to protect our data and that of customers, including sensitive customer transaction data. A party, whether an insider or third party operating outside the Company, who is able to circumvent our security measures or those of our contractors, partners or vendors could access our systems and misappropriate proprietary information, the confidential data of our customers, employees or business partners or cause interruption in our or their operations. Experienced computer programmers, hackers or insiders may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. Computer programmers and hackers have deployed and may continue to develop and deploy ransomware, malware and other malicious software programs through phishing and other methods that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of these products. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications produced or procured from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the security and operation of our systems, or harm those of third parties with whom we may interact. The costs to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, including ransomware, malware, bugs, malicious software programs and other security vulnerabilities, could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers, which may impede our sales, distribution or other critical functions. Increasing cybersecurity, data privacy and information security obligations around the world could also impose additional regulatory pressures on our customers’ businesses and, indirectly, on our operations, or lead to inquiries or enforcement actions. In the United States, we are seeing increasing obligations and expectations from federal and non-federal customers. In response, some of our customers have sought, and may continue to seek, to contractually impose certain strict data privacy and information security obligations on us. Some of our customer contracts may not limit our liability for the loss of confidential information. If we are unable to adequately address these concerns, our business and results of operations could suffer. 14 Compliance with new privacy and security laws, requirements and regulations may result in cost increases due to expanded compliance obligations, potential systems changes, the development of additional administrative processes and increased enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties. The regulatory landscape in these areas continues to evolve rapidly, and there is a risk that the Company could fail to address or comply with the fast changing regulatory environment, which could lead to regulatory or other actions which result in material liability for the Company. For example, in 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) came into force and provides new data privacy rights for California consumers and new operational requirements for covered companies. The CCPA also includes a private right of action for certain data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Failure to comply with the CCPA could result in civil penalties of $2,500 for each violation or $7,500 for each intentional violation. Additionally, a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), was approved by California voters in the November 3, 2020 election. The CPRA, which takes effect on January 1, 2023 and significantly modifies the CCPA, potentially results in further uncertainty and could require us to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Some observers have noted the CCPA and CPRA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States, which could also increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business. For example, the CCPA has encouraged “copycat” laws in other states across the country, such as in Virginia, New Hampshire, Illinois and Nebraska. This legislation may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment in resources to compliance programs, and could impact strategies and availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies. In addition, the data protection landscape in the European Union (“EU”) is continually evolving, resulting in possible significant operational costs for internal compliance and risks to our business. The EU adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018, and contains numerous requirements and changes from previously existing EU laws, including more robust obligations on data processors and heavier documentation requirements for data protection compliance programs by companies. Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates the transfer of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States. Recent legal developments in Europe have created complexity and uncertainty regarding such transfers. For instance, on July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (the “CJEU”) invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (the “Privacy Shield”) under which personal data could be transferred from the EEA to U.S. entities who had self-certified under the Privacy Shield scheme. While the CJEU upheld the adequacy of the standard contractual clauses (a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism and potential alternative to the Privacy Shield), it made clear that reliance on such clauses alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances. Use of the standard contractual clauses must now be assessed on a case-by-case basis taking into account the legal regime applicable in the destination country, including, in particular, applicable surveillance laws and rights of individuals, and additional measures and/or contractual provisions may need to be put in place; however, the nature of these additional measures is currently uncertain. The CJEU went on to state that if a competent supervisory authority believes that the standard contractual clauses cannot be complied with in the destination country and that the required level of protection cannot be secured by other means, such supervisory authority is under an obligation to suspend or prohibit that transfer. Failure to comply with the GDPR could result in penalties for noncompliance (including possible fines of up to the greater of €20 million and 4% of our global annual turnover for the preceding financial year for the most serious violations, as well as the right to compensation for financial or non-financial damages claimed by individuals under Article 82 of the GDPR). Further, in March 2017, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) formally notified the European Council of its intention to leave the EU pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (“Brexit”). The U.K. ceased to be an EU Member State on January 31, 2020, but enacted a Data Protection Act substantially implementing the GDPR, effective in May 2018, which was further amended to align more substantially with the GDPR following Brexit. It is unclear how U.K. data protection laws or regulations will develop in the medium to longer term. Since the beginning of 2021 we must comply with both the GDPR and the U.K. GDPR, with each regime having the ability to fine up to the greater of €20 million (in the case of the GDPR) or £17 million (in the case of the U.K. GDPR) and 4% of total annual revenue. 15 While we strive to comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, as well as internal privacy policies, any failure or perceived failure to comply or any misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information may result in proceedings or actions against us by government or other entities, private lawsuits against us (including class actions) or the loss of customers, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and results of operations. Portions of our infrastructure also may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with systems integration or migration work that takes place from time to time. We may not be successful in implementing new systems and transitioning data, which could cause business disruptions and be expensive, time-consuming, disruptive and resource intensive. Such disruptions could adversely impact our ability to fulfill orders and respond to customer requests and interrupt other processes. Delayed sales, lower margins or lost customers resulting from these disruptions could reduce our revenues, increase our expenses, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our stock price. Our strategic transactions may prove unsuccessful and our profitability may be materially and adversely affected. At any given time, we may be engaged in discussions or negotiations with respect to one or more transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures or spin-offs, strategic partnerships or other transaction involving one or more of our businesses. Any of these transactions could be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We may ultimately determine not to proceed with any transaction for commercial, financial, strategic or other reasons. As a result, we may not realize benefits expected from exploring one or more strategic transactions, may realize benefits further in the future or those benefits may ultimately be significantly smaller than anticipated, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may fail to complete transactions. Closing transactions is subject to uncertainties and risks, including the risk that we may be unable to satisfy conditions to closing, such as regulatory and financing conditions and the absence of material adverse changes to our business. For acquisitions, our inability to successfully integrate the operations we acquire and leverage these operations to generate substantial cost savings, as well as our inability to avoid revenue erosion and earnings decline, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. In order to achieve successful acquisitions, we will need to: • integrate the operations and business cultures, as well as the accounting, financial controls, management information, technology, human resources and other administrative systems, of acquired businesses with existing operations and systems; • maintain third-party relationships previously established by acquired companies; • • manage new business lines, as well as acquisition-related workload. attract and retain senior management and key personnel at acquired businesses; and Existing contractual restrictions may limit our ability to engage in certain integration activities for varying periods. We may not be successful in meeting these or any other challenges encountered in connection with historical and future acquisitions. Even if we successfully integrate, we cannot predict with certainty if or when these cost and revenue synergies, growth opportunities and benefits will occur, or the extent to which they actually will be achieved. In addition, the quantification of previously announced synergies expected to result from an acquisition is based on significant estimates and assumptions that are subjective in nature and inherently uncertain. Realization of any benefits and synergies could be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, without limitation, general economic conditions, increased operating costs, regulatory developments and other risks. In addition, future acquisitions could require dilutive issuances of equity securities and/or the assumption of contingent liabilities. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 16 Divestiture transactions, such as the USPS Separation, the sale of HHS business to Veritas Capital or the sale of the HPS business to Dedalus, also involve significant challenges and risks, including: • • • • • • • • • • • • the potential loss of key customers, suppliers, vendors and other key business partners; declining employee morale and retention issues affecting employees, which may result from changes in compensation, or changes in management, reporting relationships, future prospects or perceived expectations; difficulty making new and strategic hires of new employees; diversion of management time and a shift of focus from operating the businesses to transaction execution considerations; customers delaying or deferring decisions or ending their relationships; the need to provide transition services, which may result in stranded costs and the diversion of resources and focus; the need to separate operations, systems (including accounting, management, information, human resource and other administrative systems), technologies, products and personnel, which is an inherently risky and potentially lengthy and costly process; the inefficiencies and lack of control that may result if such separation is delayed or not implemented effectively, and unforeseen difficulties and expenditures that may arise as a result including potentially significant stranded costs; our desire to maintain an investment grade credit rating may cause us to use cash proceeds, if any, from any divestitures or other strategic transactions that we might otherwise have used for other purposes in order to reduce our financial leverage; the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or otherwise satisfy conditions required in order consummate any such transactions; our dependence on accounting, financial reporting, operating metrics and similar systems, controls and processes of divested businesses could lead to challenges in preparing our consolidated financial statements or maintaining effective financial control over financial reporting; and including contractual terms limiting our ability to compete for or perform certain contracts or services. We have also entered into and intend to identify and enter into additional strategic partnerships with other industry participants that will allow us to expand our business. However, we may be unable to identify attractive strategic partnership candidates or complete these partnerships on terms favorable to us. In addition, if we are unable to successfully implement our partnership strategies or our strategic partners do not fulfill their obligations or otherwise prove disadvantageous to our business, our investments in these partnerships and our anticipated business expansion could be adversely affected. Our ability to continue to develop and expand our service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends, including our ability to sell differentiated services up the Enterprise Technology Stack, may impact our future growth. If we are not successful in meeting these business challenges, our results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected. Our ability to implement solutions for our customers, incorporating new developments and improvements in technology that translate into productivity improvements for our customers, and our ability to develop digital and other new service offerings that meet current and prospective customers' needs, as well as evolving industry standards, are critical to our success. The markets we serve are highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological change which has resulted in deflationary pressure in the price of services which in turn can adversely impact our margins. Our competitors may develop solutions or services that make our offerings obsolete or may force us to decrease prices on our services which can result in lower margins. Our ability to develop and implement up to date solutions utilizing new technologies that meet evolving customer needs in digital cloud, information technology outsourcing, consulting, industry software and solutions, and application services markets, and in areas such as artificial intelligence, automation, Internet of Things and as-a-service solutions, in a timely or cost-effective manner, will impact our ability to retain and attract customers and our future revenue growth and earnings. If we are unable to continue to execute our strategy and build our business across the Enterprise Technology Stack in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving environment or if we are unable to commercialize such services and solutions, expand and scale them with sufficient speed and versatility, our growth, productivity objectives and profit margins could be negatively affected. 17 Technological developments may materially affect the cost and use of technology by our customers. Some of these technologies have reduced and replaced some of our traditional services and solutions and may continue to do so in the future. This has caused, and may in the future cause, customers to delay spending under existing contracts and engagements and to delay entering into new contracts while they evaluate new technologies. Such delays can negatively impact our results of operations if the pace and level of spending on new technologies by some of our customers is not sufficient to make up any shortfall by other customers. Our growth strategy focuses on responding to these types of developments by driving innovation that will enable us to expand our business into new growth areas. If we do not sufficiently invest in new technology and adapt to industry developments, or evolve and expand our business at sufficient speed and scale, or if we do not make the right strategic investments to respond to these developments and successfully drive innovation, our services and solutions, our results of operations, and our ability to develop and maintain a competitive advantage and to execute on our growth strategy could be negatively affected. Our ability to compete in certain markets we serve is dependent on our ability to continue to expand our capacity in certain offshore locations. However, as our presence in these locations increases, we are exposed to risks inherent to these locations which may adversely affect our revenue and profitability. A significant portion of our application outsourcing and software development activities has been shifted to India and we plan to continue to expand our presence there and in other lower-cost locations. As a result, we are exposed to the risks inherent in operating in India or other locations, including (1) the current high rate of COVID-19 infections and government responses, including renewed lockdowns,(2) a highly competitive labor market for skilled workers which may result in significant increases in labor costs, as well as shortages of qualified workers in the future and (3) the possibility that the U.S. Federal Government or the European Union may enact legislation that creates significant disincentives for customers to locate certain of their operations offshore, which would reduce the demand for the services we provide in such locations and may adversely impact our cost structure and profitability. In addition, India has experienced, and other countries may experience, political instability, civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries. Negative or uncertain political climates in countries or locations where we operate, such as Ukraine and Russia, including but not limited to, military activity or civil hostilities, criminal activities and other acts of violence, infrastructure disruption, natural disasters or other conditions could adversely affect our operations. We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended ("FCPA") and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions. We pursue opportunities in certain parts of the world that experience government corruption and in certain circumstances, compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Our internal policies mandate compliance with all applicable anti-bribery laws. We require our employees, partners, subcontractors, agents, and others to comply with the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws. There is no assurance that our policies or procedures will protect us against liability under the FCPA or other laws for actions taken by our employees and intermediaries. If we are found to be liable for FCPA violations (either due to our own acts or our omissions, or due to the acts or omissions of others), we could suffer from severe criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, detecting, investigating and resolving actual or alleged violations of the FCPA or other anti-bribery violations is expensive and could consume significant time and attention of our senior management. 18 Our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs, could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing, cost, and access to capital markets. We currently maintain investment grade credit ratings with Moody's Investors Service, Fitch Rating Services, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. Our credit ratings are based upon information furnished by us or obtained by a rating agency from its own sources and are subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal by one or more rating agencies at any time. Rating agencies may review the ratings assigned to us due to developments that are beyond our control, including potential new standards requiring the agencies to reassess rating practices and methodologies. Ratings agencies may consider changes in credit ratings based on changes in expectations about future profitability and cash flows even if short-term liquidity expectations are not negatively impacted. If changes in our credit ratings were to occur, it could result in higher interest costs under certain of our credit facilities. It would also cause our future borrowing costs to increase and limit our access to capital markets. For example, we currently fund a portion of our working capital requirements in the U.S. and European commercial paper markets. Any downgrade below our current rating would, absent changes to current market liquidity, substantially reduce or eliminate our ability to access that source of funding and could otherwise negatively impact the perception of our company by lenders and other third parties. In addition, certain of our major contracts provide customers with a right of termination in certain circumstances in the event of a rating downgrade below investment grade. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under review for a downgrade, may have a negative impact on our liquidity, capital position and access to capital markets. Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations and continuing operating improvements, access to capital markets and funding from third parties. In addition, like many multinational regulated enterprises, our operations are subject to a variety of tax, foreign exchange and regulatory capital requirements in different jurisdictions that have the effect of limiting, delaying or increasing the cost of moving cash between jurisdictions or using our cash for certain purposes. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward is subject to the general liquidity of and on-going changes in the credit markets as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control. An increase in our borrowing costs, limitations on our ability to access the global capital and credit markets or a reduction in our liquidity can adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Information regarding our credit ratings is included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources." 19 We have indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have indebtedness totaling approximately $5.5 billion as of March 31, 2021 (including capital lease obligations). We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future for many reasons, including to fund acquisitions. Our existing indebtedness, together with the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the restrictive covenants contained in, or expected to be contained in the documents evidencing such indebtedness, could have significant consequences on our future operations, including: • • • • • • • events of default if we fail to comply with the financial and other covenants contained in the agreements governing our debt instruments, which could, if material and not cured, result in all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable or require us to negotiate an amendment to financial or other covenants that could cause us to incur additional fees and expenses; subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases in our outstanding variable-rate indebtedness that could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly; increasing the risk of a future credit ratings downgrade of our debt, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability for debt financing; debt service may reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes; placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors; increasing our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions; and causing us to reduce or eliminate our return of cash to our stockholders, including via dividends and share repurchases. In addition, we could be unable to refinance our outstanding indebtedness on reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to meet our payment and other obligations under our debt instruments depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors as well as other factors that are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that current or future borrowings will be sufficient to meet our current debt obligations and to fund other liquidity needs. In July 2017, the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Certain of our financing agreements include language to determine a replacement rate for LIBOR, if necessary. However, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate some financing agreements extending beyond 2021 that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate. We are evaluating the potential impact of the eventual replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate; however, we are not able to predict whether LIBOR will cease to be available after 2021, whether SOFR will become a widely accepted benchmark in place of LIBOR, or what the impact of such a possible transition to SOFR may be on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 20 Our primary markets are highly competitive. If we are unable to compete in these highly competitive markets, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Our competitors include large, technically competent and well-capitalized companies, some of which have emerged as a result of industry consolidation, as well as “pure-play” companies that have a single product focus. This competition may place downward pressure on operating margins in our industry, particularly for technology outsourcing contract extensions or renewals. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our current operating margins, or achieve favorable operating margins, for technology outsourcing contracts extended or renewed in the future. If we fail to effectively reduce our cost structure during periods with declining margins, our results of operations may be adversely affected. We encounter aggressive competition from numerous and varied competitors. Our competitiveness is based on factors including technology, innovation, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, reputation, range of products and services, account relationships, customer training, service and support and security. If we are unable to compete based on such factors, we could lose customers or we may experience reduced profitability from our customers and our results of operations and business prospects could be harmed. We have a large portfolio of services and we need to allocate financial, personnel and other resources across all services while competing with companies that have smaller portfolios or specialize in one or more of our service lines. As a result, we may invest less in certain business areas than our competitors do, and competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources available to them compared to the resources allocated to our services. Industry consolidation may also affect competition by creating larger, more homogeneous and potentially stronger competitors in the markets in which we operate. Additionally, competitors may affect our business by entering into exclusive arrangements with existing or potential customers or suppliers. Companies with whom we have alliances in certain areas may be or become competitors in other areas. In addition, companies with whom we have alliances also may acquire or form alliances with competitors, which could reduce their business with us. If we are unable to effectively manage these complicated relationships with alliance partners, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. We face aggressive price competition and may have to lower prices to stay competitive, while simultaneously seeking to maintain or improve revenue and gross margin. This price competition may continue to increase from emerging companies that sell products and services into the same markets in which we operate. In addition, competitors who have a greater presence in some of the lower-cost markets in which we compete, or who can obtain better pricing, more favorable contractual terms and conditions, may be able to offer lower prices than we are able to offer. If we experience pressure from competitors to lower our prices, we may have lower than expected profit margins and lost business opportunities if we are unable to match the price declines. Our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other industry-wide pricing pressures. 21 If we are unable to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected. Our commercial contracts are typically awarded on a competitive basis. Our bids are based upon, among other items, the expected cost to provide the services. We generally provide services under time and materials contracts, unit price contracts, fixed-price contracts, and multiple-element software sales. We are dependent on our internal forecasts and predictions about our projects and the marketplace and, to generate an acceptable return on our investment in these contracts, we must be able to accurately estimate our costs to provide the services required by the contract and to complete the contracts in a timely manner. We face a number of risks when pricing our contracts, as many of our projects entail the coordination of operations and workforces in multiple locations and utilizing workforces with different skill sets and competencies across geographically diverse service locations. In addition, revenues from some of our contracts are recognized using the percentage-of- completion method, which requires estimates of total costs at completion, fees earned on the contract, or both. This estimation process, particularly due to the technical nature of the services being performed and the long-term nature of certain contracts, is complex and involves significant judgment. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, experience is gained, and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the contract may not change. If we fail to accurately estimate our costs or the time required to complete a contract, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected. Some ITO services agreements contain pricing provisions that permit a customer to request a benchmark study by a mutually acceptable third party. The benchmarking process typically compares the contractual price of services against the price of similar services offered by other specified providers in a peer comparison group, subject to agreed-upon adjustment, and normalization factors. Generally, if the benchmarking study shows that the pricing differs from the peer group outside a specified range, and the difference is not due to the unique requirements of the customer, then the parties will negotiate in good faith appropriate adjustments to the pricing. This may result in the reduction of rates for the benchmarked services performed after the implementation of those pricing adjustments, which could harm the financial performance of our services business. Some IT service agreements require significant investment in the early stages that is expected to be recovered through billings over the life of the agreement. These agreements often involve the construction of new IT systems and communications networks and the development and deployment of new technologies. Substantial performance risk exists in each agreement with these characteristics, and some or all elements of service delivery under these agreements are dependent upon successful completion of the development, construction, and deployment phases. Failure to perform satisfactorily under these agreements may expose us to legal liability, result in the loss of customers or harm our reputation, which could harm the financial performance of our IT services business. Performance under contracts, including those on which we have partnered with third parties, may be adversely affected if we or the third parties fail to deliver on commitments or otherwise breach obligations to our customers. Our contracts are complex and, in some instances, may require that we partner with other parties, including software and hardware vendors, to provide the complex solutions required by our customers. Our ability to deliver the solutions and provide the services required by our customers is dependent on our and our partners' ability to meet our customers' delivery schedules. If we or our partners fail to deliver services or products on time, our ability to complete the contract may be adversely affected. Additionally, our customers may perform audits or require us to perform audits and provide audit reports with respect to the controls and procedures that we use in the performance of services for such customers. Our ability to acquire new customers and retain existing customers may be adversely affected and our reputation could be harmed if we receive a qualified opinion, or if we cannot obtain an unqualified opinion in a timely manner, with respect to our controls and procedures in connection with any such audit. We could also incur liability if our controls and procedures, or the controls and procedures we manage for a customer, were to result in an internal control failure or impair our customer’s ability to comply with its own internal control requirements. If we or our partners fail to meet our contractual obligations or otherwise breach obligations to our customers, we could be subject to legal liability, which may have a material and adverse impact on our revenues and profitability. 22 Our ability to provide customers with competitive services is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our ability to grow and provide our customers with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills necessary to serve our customers. The markets we serve are highly competitive and competition for skilled employees in the technology outsourcing, consulting, and systems integration and enterprise services markets is intense for both onshore and offshore locales. The loss of personnel could impair our ability to perform under certain contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, the inability to adequately develop and train personnel and assimilate key new hires or promoted employees could have a material adverse effect on relationships with third parties, our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. We also must manage leadership development and succession planning throughout our business. Any significant leadership change and accompanying senior management transition involves inherent risk and any failure to ensure a smooth transition could hinder our strategic planning, execution and future performance. While we strive to mitigate the negative impact associated with changes to our senior management team, such changes may cause uncertainty among investors, employees, customers, creditors and others concerning our future direction and performance. If we fail to effectively manage our leadership changes, including ongoing organizational and strategic changes, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation, as well as our ability to successfully attract, motivate and retain key employees, could be harmed. In addition, uncertainty around future employment opportunities, facility locations, organizational and reporting structures, and other related concerns may impair our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. If employee attrition is high, it may adversely impact our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic priorities. If we do not hire, train, motivate, and effectively utilize employees with the right mix of skills and experience in the right geographic regions and for the right offerings to meet the needs of our customers, our financial performance and cash flows could suffer. For example, if our employee utilization rate is too low, our profitability, and the level of engagement of our employees could decrease. If that utilization rate is too high, it could have an adverse effect on employee engagement and attrition and the quality of the work performed, as well as our ability to staff projects. If we are unable to hire and retain enough employees with the skills or backgrounds needed to meet current demand, we may need to redeploy existing personnel, increase our reliance on subcontractors or increase employee compensation levels, all of which could also negatively affect our profitability. In addition, if we have more employees than necessary with certain skill sets or in certain geographies, we may incur increased costs as we work to rebalance our supply of skills and resources with customer demand in those geographies. 23 Our international operations are exposed to risks, including fluctuations in exchange rates, which may be beyond our control. Our exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar may impact our results, as they are expressed in U.S. dollars. Currency variations also contribute to variations in sales of products and services in affected jurisdictions. For example, in the event that one or more European countries were to replace the Euro with another currency, sales in that country or in Europe generally may be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established. While historically we have partially mitigated currency risk, including exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates by matching costs with revenues in a given currency, our exposure to fluctuations in other currencies against the U.S. dollar increases, as revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar increases and as more of the services we provide are shifted to lower cost regions of the world. Approximately 66% of revenues earned during fiscal 2021 were derived from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and are expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. Also, we believe that our ability to match revenues and expenses in a given currency will decrease as more work is performed at offshore locations. We may use forward and option contracts to protect against currency exchange rate risks. The effectiveness of these hedges will depend on our ability to accurately forecast future cash flows, which may be particularly difficult during periods of uncertain demand and highly volatile exchange rates. We may incur significant losses from our hedging activities due to factors such as demand volatility and currency variations. In addition, certain or all of our hedging activities may be ineffective, may expire and not be renewed or may not offset the adverse financial impact resulting from currency variations. Losses associated with hedging activities may also impact our revenues and to a lesser extent our cost of sales and financial condition. The U.K. withdrew from the European Union on January 31, 2020 (“Brexit”). In connection with Brexit, the U.K. and the European Union agreed on the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”) that governs the future trading relationship between the U.K. and the European Union in specified areas. The TCA took effect on January 1, 2021. The U.K. is no longer in the European Union customs union and is outside of the European Union single market. The TCA addresses trade, economic arrangements, law enforcement, judicial cooperation and a governance framework including procedures for dispute resolution, among other things. Because the agreement merely sets forth a framework in many respects and will require complex additional bilateral negotiations between the U.K. and the European Union as both parties continue to work on the rules for implementation, significant political and economic uncertainty remains about whether the terms of the relationship will differ materially from the terms before withdrawal. Uncertainty surrounding the effect of Brexit, as well as any potential impact on tax laws and trade policy in the U.S. and elsewhere may adversely impact our operations. Our future business and financial performance could suffer due to a variety of international factors, including: • • • • ongoing instability or changes in a country’s or region’s economic or geopolitical and security conditions, including inflation, recession, interest rate fluctuations, and actual or anticipated military or political conflict, civil unrest, crime, political instability, human rights concerns, and terrorist activity; natural or man-made disasters, industrial accidents, public health issues, cybersecurity incidents, interruptions of service from utilities, transportation or telecommunications providers, or other catastrophic events; longer collection cycles and financial instability among customers; trade regulations and procedures and actions affecting production, pricing and marketing of products, including policies adopted by countries that may champion or otherwise favor domestic companies and technologies over foreign competitors; local labor conditions and regulations; • • managing our geographically dispersed workforce; • • • • changes in the international, national or local regulatory and legal environments; differing technology standards or customer requirements; difficulties associated with repatriating earnings generated or held abroad in a tax-efficient manner and changes in tax laws. 24 Our business operations are subject to various and changing federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that could result in costs or sanctions that adversely affect our business and results of operations. We operate in approximately 70 countries in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Among other things, we provide complex industry specific insurance processing in the U.K., which is regulated by authorities in the U.K. and elsewhere, such as the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority and Her Majesty’s Treasury and the U.S. Department of Treasury, which increases our exposure to compliance risk. For example, in February 2017, CSC submitted an initial notification of voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regarding certain possible violations of U.S. sanctions laws pertaining to insurance premium data and claims data processed by two partially-owned joint ventures of Xchanging, which CSC acquired during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. A copy of the disclosure was also provided to Her Majesty’s Treasury Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation in the U.K. Our related internal investigation is substantially complete, and we provided supplemental information to OFAC on January 31, 2020 and continue to work with OFAC on these issues. Our retail investment account management business in Germany is another example of a regulated business, which must maintain a banking license, is regulated by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority and the European Central Bank and must comply with German banking laws and regulations. In addition, businesses in the countries in which we operate are subject to local, legal and political environments and regulations including with respect to employment, tax, statutory supervision and reporting and trade restriction, along with industry regulations such as regulation by bank regulators in the U.S. and Europe. These regulations and environments are also subject to change. Adjusting business operations to changing environments and regulations may be costly and could potentially render the particular business operations uneconomical, which may adversely affect our profitability or lead to a change in the business operations. Notwithstanding our best efforts, we may not be in compliance with all regulations in the countries in which we operate at all times and may be subject to sanctions, penalties or fines as a result. These sanctions, penalties or fines may materially and adversely impact our profitability. Our operations are also subject to a broad array of domestic and international environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the clean-up of contaminated sites. Environmental costs and accruals are presently not material to our operations, cash flows or financial position; and, we do not currently anticipate material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities. However, our failure to comply with these laws or regulations can result in civil, criminal or regulatory penalties, fines, and legal liabilities; suspension, delay or alterations of our operations; damage to our reputation; and restrictions on our operations or sales. Our business could also be affected if new environmental legislation is passed which impacts our current operations and business. In addition, as climate change laws, regulations, treaties and national and global initiatives are adopted and implemented regionally or throughout the world, we may be required to comply or potentially face market access limitations, fines or reputational injury. Such laws, regulations, treaties or initiatives in response to climate change could result in increased operational costs associated with air pollution requirements and increased compliance and energy costs, which could harm our business and results of operations by increasing our expenses or requiring us to alter our business operations. We are also subject to risks associated with environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) regulations. Governmental bodies, investors, clients and businesses are increasingly focused on prioritizing ESG practices, which has resulted and may in the future continue to result in the adoption of new laws and regulations. Our inability to keep pace with any ESG regulations, trends and developments or failure to meet the expectations or interests of our clients and investors could adversely affect our business and reputation. 25 We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of our restructuring plans and our restructuring may adversely affect our business. We have implemented several restructuring plans to realign our cost structure due to the changing nature of our business and to achieve operating efficiencies to reduce our costs. We may not be able to obtain the costs savings and benefits that were initially anticipated in connection with our restructuring plans. Additionally, as a result of our restructuring, we may experience a loss of continuity, loss of accumulated knowledge and/or inefficiency during transitional periods. Reorganization and restructuring can require a significant amount of management and other employees' time and focus, which may divert attention from operating and growing our business. There are also significant costs associated with restructuring which can have a significant impact on our earnings and cash flow. If we fail to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of restructuring, it could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For more information about our restructuring plans, see Note 22 - "Restructuring Costs." In the course of providing services to customers, we may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and be exposed to claims for damages. The solutions we provide to our customers may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, resulting in claims for damages against us or our customers. Our contracts generally indemnify our customers from claims for intellectual property infringement for the services and equipment we provide under the applicable contracts. We also indemnify certain vendors and customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use by such vendors and customers of software products and services and certain other matters. Some of the applicable indemnification arrangements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The expense and time of defending against these claims may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability. If we lose our ability to continue using any such services and solutions because they are found to infringe the rights of others, we will need to obtain substitute solutions or seek alternative means of obtaining the technology necessary to continue to provide such services and solutions. Our inability to replace such solutions, or to replace such solutions in a timely or cost-effective manner, could materially adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, the publicity resulting from infringing intellectual property rights may damage our reputation and adversely impact our ability to develop new business. Our inability to procure third-party licenses required for the operation of our products and service offerings may result in decreased revenue or increased costs. Many of our products and service offerings depends on the continued performance and availability of software licensed from third-party vendors under our contractual arrangements. Because of the nature of these licenses and arrangements, there can be no assurance that we would be able to retain all of these intellectual property rights upon renewal, expiration or termination of such licenses or that we will be able to procure, renew or extend such licenses on commercially reasonable terms which may result in increased costs. Certain of our licenses are concentrated in one or more third-party licensors where multiple licenses are up for renewal at the same time, which could decrease our ability to negotiate reasonable license fees and could result in our loss of rights under such licenses. We may be exposed to negative publicity and other potential risks if we are unable to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations require our management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. There can be no assurance that all control issues or fraud will be detected. As we continue to grow our business, our internal controls continue to become more complex and require more resources. 26 Any failure to maintain effective controls could prevent us from timely and reliably reporting financial results and may harm our operating results. In addition, if we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting or, if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of each fiscal year end, we may be exposed to negative publicity, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls and any such resulting negative publicity may negatively affect our business and stock price. Additionally, the existence of any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies would require management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management may not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, subject us to litigation or regulatory scrutiny and cause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect us and the market price of our common stock. We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Without effective internal control over financial reporting, we may fail to detect or prevent a material misstatement in our financial statements, which could materially harm our business, our reputation and our stock price. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 related to reassessing policies and procedures to determine their continued relevance, as impacted by complex transactions and processes. See "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures." Without effective internal control over financial reporting, we may fail to detect or prevent a material misstatement in our financial statements. In that event, we may be required to restate our financial statements. A restatement or an unremediated material weakness could result in a loss of confidence in us by our investors, customers, regulators and/or counterparties. In addition, our remediation efforts are still ongoing and if we are unable to promptly remediate the material weakness identified above, or if we were to conclude in the future that we have one or more additional weaknesses, our investors, regulators, customers and/or counterparties may lose confidence in our reported financial information. Additionally, management may be required to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate the material weakness, and management may not be able to complete such remediation in a timely manner. Any of the foregoing could materially harm our business, our reputation and the market price of our common stock. We could suffer additional losses due to asset impairment charges. We acquired substantial goodwill and other intangibles as a result of the HPES Merger and the Luxoft Acquisition, increasing our exposure to this risk. We test our goodwill for impairment during the second quarter of every year and on an interim date should events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is revised downward due to declines in business performance or other factors or if the Company suffers further declines in share price, an impairment could result and a non-cash charge could be required. We test intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This assessment of the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets could result in an impairment and a non-cash charge could be required. We also test certain equipment and deferred cost balances associated with contracts when the contract is materially underperforming or is expected to materially underperform in the future, as compared to the original bid model or budget. If the projected cash flows of a particular contract are not adequate to recover the unamortized cost balance of the asset group, the balance is adjusted in the tested period based on the contract's fair value. Either of these impairments could materially affect our reported net earnings. 27 We may not be able to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock in accordance with our announced intent or at all. On April 3, 2017, we announced the establishment of a share repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors with an initial authorization of up to $2.0 billion for future repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. On November 8, 2018, DXC announced that its Board of Directors approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization. In addition, while we paid quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders starting fiscal 2018 in accordance with our announced dividend policy, we suspended the payment of quarterly dividends starting in fiscal 2021 to enhance our financial flexibility. We intend to continue to suspend quarterly cash dividends for fiscal 2022. The declaration and payment of future dividends, the amount of any such dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates for dividends, if any, are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors after review of our current strategy and financial performance and position, among other things. The Board of Directors’ determinations regarding dividends and share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including net income, cash flow generated from operations, amount and location of our cash and investment balances, overall liquidity position and potential alternative uses of cash, such as acquisitions, as well as economic conditions and expected future financial results. There can be no guarantee that we will achieve our financial goals in the amounts or within the expected time frame, or at all. Our ability to declare future dividends will depend on our future financial performance, which in turn depends on the successful implementation of our strategy and on financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors, general economic conditions, demand and prices for our services and other factors specific to our industry or specific projects, many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, our ability to generate cash flow depends on the performance of our operations and could be limited by decreases in our profitability or increases in costs, regulatory changes, capital expenditures or debt servicing requirements. Any failure to achieve our financial goals could negatively impact our reputation, harm investor confidence in us, and cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We are defendants in pending litigation that may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability and liquidity. As noted in Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies," we are currently party to a number of disputes that involve or may involve litigation or arbitration, including putative securities class actions pending in both state and federal courts and other lawsuits in which we and certain of our officers and directors have been named as defendants. The result of these lawsuits and any other future legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of their subject matter or merits, such legal proceedings may result in significant cost to us, including in the form of legal fees and/or damages, which may not be covered by insurance, may divert the attention of management or may otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Negative publicity from litigation, whether or not resulting in a substantial cost, could materially damage our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the price of our common stock. In addition, such legal proceedings may make it more difficult to finance our operations. We are also subject to continuous examinations of our income tax returns by tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final results of any tax examination or related litigation could be materially different from our related historical income tax provisions and accruals. Adverse developments in an audit, examination or litigation related to previously filed tax returns, or in the relevant jurisdiction’s tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles and interpretations could have a material effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the period or periods for which that development occurs, as well as for prior and subsequent periods. For more detail, see Note 13 – “Income Taxes.” 28 We may be adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets, including disruptions that reduce our customers' access to credit and increase the costs to our customers of obtaining credit. The credit markets have historically been volatile and therefore it is not possible to predict the ability of our customers to access short-term financing and other forms of capital. If a disruption in the credit markets were to occur, it could pose a risk to our business if customers or suppliers are unable to obtain financing to meet payment or delivery obligations to us. In the event that one or more customers or suppliers' defaults on its payment or delivery obligations, we could incur significant losses, which may harm our business, reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, customers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect our revenues. Further, as of March 31, 2021, we have $0.7 billion of floating interest rate debt. Accordingly, a spike in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. Our hedging program is subject to counterparty default risk. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps with a number of counterparties. As a result, we are subject to the risk that the counterparty to one or more of these contracts defaults on its performance under the contract. During an economic downturn, the counterparty's financial condition may deteriorate rapidly and with little notice and we may be unable to take action to protect our exposure. In the event of a counterparty default, we could incur significant losses, which may harm our business and financial condition. In the event that one or more of our counterparties becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually recover any losses suffered as a result of that counterparty's default may be limited by the liquidity of the counterparty. We derive significant revenues and profit from contracts awarded through competitive bidding processes, which can impose substantial costs on us and we may not achieve revenue and profit objectives if we fail to bid on these projects effectively. We derive significant revenues and profit from government contracts that are awarded through competitive bidding processes. We expect that most of the non-U.S. government business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through competitive bidding. Competitive bidding is expensive and presents a number of risks, including: • the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may or may not be awarded to us; the need to estimate accurately the resources and costs that will be required to service any contracts we are awarded, sometimes in advance of the final determination of their full scope and design; the expense and delay that may arise if our competitors protest or challenge awards made to us pursuant to competitive bidding; the requirement to resubmit bids protested by our competitors and in the termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contracts; and the opportunity cost of not bidding on and winning other contracts we might otherwise pursue. • • • • If our customers experience financial difficulties, we may not be able to collect our receivables, which would materially and adversely affect our profitability and cash flows from operations. Over the course of a contract term, a customer's financial condition may decline and limit its ability to pay its obligations. This could cause our cash collections to decrease and bad debt expense to increase. While we may resort to alternative methods to pursue claims or collect receivables, these methods are expensive and time consuming and successful collection is not guaranteed. Failure to collect our receivables or prevail on claims would have an adverse effect on our profitability and cash flows. 29 If we are unable to maintain and grow our customer relationships over time, our operating results and cash flows will suffer. Failure to comply with customer contracts or government contracting regulations or requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. We devote significant resources to establish relationships with our customers and implement our offerings and related services, particularly in the case of large enterprises that often request or require specific features or functions specific to their particular business profile. Accordingly, our operating results depend in substantial part on our ability to deliver a successful customer experience and persuade customers to maintain and grow their relationship with us over time. If we are not successful in implementing an offering or delivering a successful customer experience, including achieving cost and staffing levels that meet our customers’ expectations, customers could terminate or elect not to renew their agreements with us and our operating results may suffer. Contracts with customers may include unique and specialized performance requirements. In particular, our contracts with federal, state, provincial, and local governmental customers are generally subject to various procurement regulations, contract provisions, and other requirements relating to their formation, administration, and performance, including the maintenance of necessary security clearances. Contracts with U.S. government agencies are also subject to audits and investigations, which may include a review of performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Any failure on our part to comply with the specific provisions in customer contracts or any violation of government contracting regulations or other requirements could result in the imposition of various civil and criminal penalties, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, and, in the case of government contracts, fines and suspension from future government contracting. Such failures could also cause reputational damage to our business. In addition, we may be subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the government relating to government contracts, which could include claims for treble damages. Further, any negative publicity with respect to customer contracts or any related proceedings, regardless of accuracy, may damage our business by harming our ability to compete for new contracts. Contracts with the U.S. federal government and related agencies are also subject to issues with respect to federal budgetary and spending limits or matters. Any changes to the fiscal policies of the U.S. federal government may decrease overall government funding, result in delays in the procurement of products and services due to lack of funding, cause the U.S. federal government and government agencies to reduce their purchases under existing contracts, or cause them to exercise their rights to terminate contracts at- will or to abstain from exercising options to renew contracts, any of which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. If our customer contracts are terminated, if we are suspended or disbarred from government work, or our ability to compete for new contracts is adversely affected, our financial performance could suffer. Recent U.S. tax legislation may materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Recently enacted U.S. tax legislation has significantly changed the U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. corporations, including by reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate, limiting interest deductions, permitting immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, adopting elements of a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax (or “repatriation tax”) on all undistributed earnings and profits of certain U.S.-owned foreign corporations, revising the rules governing net operating losses and the rules governing foreign tax credits, and introducing new anti-base erosion provisions. Many of these changes were effective immediately, without any transition periods or grandfathering for existing transactions. The legislation is unclear in many respects and could be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections, as well as interpretations and implementing regulations by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), any of which could lessen or increase certain impacts of the legislation. In addition, state and local jurisdictions continue to issue guidance on how these U.S. federal income tax changes will affect state and local taxation, which often uses federal taxable income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities. While our analysis and interpretation of this legislation is ongoing, based on our current evaluation, we recorded a provisional reduction of our deferred income tax liabilities resulting in a material non-cash benefit to earnings during fiscal 2018, the period in which the tax legislation was enacted, which was adjusted in fiscal 2019. 30 Additionally, the repatriation tax resulted in a material amount of additional U.S. tax liability, the majority of which was reflected as an income tax expense in fiscal 2018, when the tax legislation was enacted, despite the fact that the resulting tax may be paid over eight years. Further, there may be other material adverse effects resulting from future guidance, including technical corrections. In addition, on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in respect to the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, the ability to utilize and carryback certain net operating losses, alternative minimum tax refunds and modifications to rules regarding the deductibility of net interest expense. Subsequent to the CARES Act, additional stimulus legislation has been enacted which included additional individual and corporate tax provisions and modifications to the CARES Act. While some of the changes made by recent tax legislation may be beneficial to the Company in one or more reporting periods and prospectively, other changes may be adverse on a going forward basis. We continue to work with our tax advisors to determine the full impact that recent tax legislation as a whole will have on us. Changes in U.S. tax legislation, regulation and government policy as a result of the 2020 U.S. presidential and congressional elections may impact our future financial position and results of operations. On March 31, 2021, President Biden proposed the American Jobs Plan which included provisions to increase the corporate income tax rate to 28%, create a new 15% minimum tax on “book income,” and increased taxes on foreign income. While the likelihood of these changes or others being enacted or implemented is unclear, if passed in its current form, the proposed legislation could have a negative impact on our future financial position. To the extent that such changes have a negative impact on us, our suppliers or our customers, including as a result of related uncertainty, these changes may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Changes in tax rates could affect our future results. Our future effective tax rates, which are largely driven by the mix of our global earnings and the differing statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions where we operate, are subject to change as a result of changes in statutory tax rates enacted in those jurisdictions, or by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws or their interpretation. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Risks Related to our Strategic Transactions We could have an indemnification obligation to HPE if the stock distribution in connection with the HPES business separation (the "Distribution") were determined not to qualify for tax-free treatment, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition. If, due to any of our representations being untrue or our covenants being breached, the Distribution was determined not to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), HPE would generally be subject to tax as if it sold the DXC common stock in a taxable transaction, which could result in a material tax liability. In addition, each HPE stockholder who received DXC common stock in the Distribution would generally be treated as receiving a taxable Distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the DXC common stock received by the stockholder in the Distribution. Under the tax matters agreement that we entered into with HPE in connection with the HPES Merger, we were required to indemnify HPE against taxes resulting from the Distribution or certain aspects of the HPES Merger arising as a result of an Everett Tainting Act (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement). If we were required to indemnify HPE for taxes resulting from an Everett Tainting Act, that indemnification obligation would likely be substantial and could materially adversely affect our financial condition. 31 If the HPES Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, CSC's former stockholders may incur significant tax liabilities. The completion of the HPES Merger was conditioned upon the receipt by HPE and CSC of opinions of counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the HPES Merger will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the "HPES Merger Tax Opinions"). The parties did not seek a ruling from the IRS regarding such qualification. The HPES Merger Tax Opinions were based on current law and relied upon various factual representations and assumptions, as well as certain undertakings made by HPE, HPES and CSC. If any of those representations or assumptions is untrue or incomplete in any material respect or any of those undertakings is not complied with, or if the facts upon which the HPES Merger Tax Opinions are based are materially different from the actual facts that existed at the time of the HPES Merger, the conclusions reached in the HPES Merger Tax Opinions could be adversely affected and the HPES Merger may not qualify for tax-free treatment. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or the courts. No assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions set forth in the HPES Merger Tax Opinions or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the HPES Merger were determined to be taxable, previous holders of CSC common stock would be considered to have made a taxable disposition of their shares to HPES, and such stockholders would generally recognize taxable gain or loss on their receipt of HPES common stock in the HPES Merger. We assumed certain material pension benefit obligations in connection with the HPES Merger. These liabilities and the related future funding obligations could restrict our cash available for operations, capital expenditures and other requirements, and may materially adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity. Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement entered into in connection with the HPES Merger, while HPE retained all U.S. defined benefit pension plan liabilities, DXC retained all liabilities relating to the International Retirement Guarantee (“IRG”) programs for all HPES employees. The IRG is a non-qualified retirement plan for employees who transfer internationally at the request of the HPE Group. The IRG determines the country of guarantee, which is generally the country in which an employee has spent the longest portion of his or her career with the HPE Group, and the present value of a full career benefit for the employee under the HPE defined benefit pension plan and social security or social insurance system in the country of guarantee. The IRG then offsets the present value of the retirement benefits from plans and social insurance systems in the countries in which the employee earned retirement benefits for his or her total period of HPE Group employment. The net benefit value is payable as a single sum as soon as practicable after termination or retirement. This liability could restrict cash available for our operations, capital expenditures and other requirements, and may materially affect our financial condition and liquidity. 32 In addition, pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, DXC assumed certain other defined benefit pension liabilities in a number of non-U.S. countries (including the U.K., Germany and Switzerland). Unless otherwise agreed or required by local law, where a defined benefit pension plan was maintained solely by a member of the HPES business, DXC assumed all assets and liabilities arising out of those non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, and where a defined benefit pension plan was not maintained solely by a member of the HPES business, DXC assumed all assets and liabilities for those eligible HPES employees in connection with the HPES Merger. These liabilities and the related future payment obligations could restrict cash available for our operations, capital expenditures and other requirements, and may materially affect our financial condition and liquidity. The USPS Separation and Mergers and NPS Separation could result in substantial tax liability to DXC and our stockholders. Among the closing conditions to completing the USPS Separation and Mergers, we received a legal opinion of tax counsel substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) the USPS Separation qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (ii) each of DXC and Perspecta is a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code with respect to the USPS Separation; (iii) the USPS distribution qualifies as (1) a tax-free spin-off, resulting in nonrecognition under Sections 355(a), 361 and 368(a) of the Code, and (2) a transaction in which the stock distributed thereby should constitute “qualified property” for purposes of Sections 355(d), 355(e) and 361(c) of the Code; and (iv) none of the related mergers causes Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to the USPS distribution. If, notwithstanding the conclusions expressed in these opinions, the USPS Separation and Mergers were determined to be taxable, DXC and its stockholders could incur significant tax liabilities. In addition, prior to the HPES Merger, CSC spun off its North American Public Sector business ("NPS") on November 27, 2015 (the "NPS Separation"). In connection with the NPS Separation, CSC received an opinion of counsel substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the NPS Separation qualified as a tax-free transaction to CSC and holders of CSC common stock under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code. The completion of the HPES Merger was conditioned upon the receipt of CSC of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the HPES Merger should not cause Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to the NPS Separation or otherwise affect the qualification of the NPS Separation as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Code. If, notwithstanding the conclusions expressed in these opinions, the NPS Separation were determined to be taxable, CSC and CSC stockholders that received CSRA Inc ("CSRA") stock in the NPS Separation could incur significant tax liabilities. The opinions of counsel we received were based on, among other things, various factual representations and assumptions, as well as certain undertakings made by DXC, Perspecta and CSRA. If any of those representations or assumptions is untrue or incomplete in any material respect or any of those undertakings is not complied with, the conclusions reached in the opinion could be adversely affected and the USPS Separation or the NPS Separation may not qualify for tax-free treatment. Furthermore, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions set forth in the opinions or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If, notwithstanding our receipt of the opinions, the USPS Separation or NPS Separation is determined to be taxable, we would recognize taxable gain as if we had sold the shares of Perspecta or CSRA in a taxable sale for its fair market value, which could result in a substantial tax liability. In addition, if the USPS Separation or NPS Separation is determined to be taxable, each holder of our common stock who received shares of Perspecta or CSRA would generally be treated as receiving a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, which could materially increase such holder’s tax liability. Additionally, even if the USPS Separation otherwise qualifies as a tax-free transaction, the USPS distribution could be taxable to us (but not to our shareholders) in certain circumstances if future significant acquisitions of our stock or the stock of Perspecta are deemed to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the USPS distribution. In this event, the resulting tax liability could be substantial. In connection with the USPS Separation, we entered into a tax matters agreement with Perspecta, under which it agreed not to undertake any transaction without our consent that could reasonably be expected to cause the USPS Separation to be taxable to us and to indemnify us for any tax liabilities resulting from such transactions. These obligations and potential tax liabilities could be substantial. 33 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our corporate headquarters is located at a leased facility in Tysons, VA. We own or lease numerous general office facilities, global security operations centers, strategic delivery centers and data centers with more than 500 locations around the world. We do not identify properties by segment, as they are interchangeable in nature and used by both segments. We continue to reduce our space capacity at low utilization and sub-scale locations, exit co-location, align locations by skill type and optimize our data center footprint. Where commercially reasonable and to the extent it is not needed for future expansion, we seek to sell, lease or sublease our excess space.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Market Information Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DXC." Number of Holders As of May 24, 2021, there were 42,656 holders of record of our common stock. Dividends The Board of Directors (the “Board”) indefinitely suspended the Company’s cash dividend payment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 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. An expiration date has not been established for this repurchase plan. 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. See Note 16 - "Stockholders' Equity" for more information. 35 Performance Graph The following graph shows a comparison from April 3, 2017 (the date our common stock commenced trading on the NYSE) through March 31, 2021 of the cumulative total return for our common stock, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500 Index") and the Standard & Poor’s North American Technology Index ("S&P North American Technology Index").

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ("MD&A") OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Introduction The purpose of the MD&A is to present information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and our financial condition as of March 31, 2021. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and notes. The MD&A is organized in the following sections: Background Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources • • • • Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements • • Contractual Obligations Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The following discussion includes a comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020. A comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 may be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2020. Background DXC helps global companies across the entire Enterprise Technology Stack, running their mission critical systems and operations while modernizing IT, optimizing data architectures, and ensuring security and scalability across public, private and hybrid clouds. We generate revenue by offering a wide range of information technology services and solutions primarily in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. We operate through two segments: Global Business Services ("GBS") and Global Infrastructure Services ("GIS"). We market and sell our services directly to customers through our direct sales offices around the world. Our customers include commercial businesses of many sizes and in many industries and public sector enterprises. 37 Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain financial data for fiscal 2021 and 2020: (In millions, except per-share amounts) Revenues Income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes Income tax expense Net loss Diluted loss per common share: Fiscal 2021 Highlights Fiscal 2021 financial highlights include the following: Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ $ 17,729 $ 19,577 654 800 (146) $ (5,228) 130 (5,358) (0.59) $ (20.76) • • • Fiscal 2021 revenues were $17,729 million, a decrease of 9.4% as compared to fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to project terminations, the disposition of the U.S. State and Local Health and Human Services business ("HHS") business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, decrease in run-rate project volume, and project completions, offset by contributions from our Luxoft acquisition which was executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and additional services provided to new and existing customers. Refer to the section below captioned "Revenues." Fiscal 2021 net loss and diluted loss per share were $146 million and $0.59, respectively. Net loss decreased by $5,212 million during fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to goodwill impairment offset by a gain on arbitration recognized in the prior year with fiscal 2021 benefiting from a gain on disposition of the HHS business, cost optimization realized in the current year and a reduction in revenue in the current year previously mentioned. Refer to the section below captioned "Cost and Expenses." Net loss included the cumulative impact of certain items of $773 million during fiscal 2021, reflecting restructuring costs, transaction, separation and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment losses, gains on dispositions, pension and other post-retirement benefit ("OPEB") actuarial and settlement losses, debt extinguishment costs, and tax adjustment. This compares with net loss and diluted loss per share of $5,358 million and $20.76, respectively, for fiscal 2020. Fiscal 2021 income tax expense increased significantly over fiscal 2020 as a result of the gain on disposition of the HHS business, which included the impact of non-tax deductible goodwill. Fiscal 2020 income tax expense also reflected the impact of non-tax deductible goodwill impairments. • Our cash and cash equivalents were $2,968 million at March 31, 2021. • We generated $124 million of cash from operations during fiscal 2021, as compared to $2,350 million during fiscal 2020. 38 Revenues During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the distribution of our revenues across geographies was as follows: Revenues by Geography 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 ) s n o i l l i M ( $ 0 United States United Kingdom Other Europe Australia Other International Fiscal 2021 Fiscal 2020 (in millions) GBS GIS Total Revenues Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Change Percent Change $ $ 8,336 $ 9,393 9,111 $ 10,466 17,729 $ 19,577 $ (775) (1,073) ) (1,848) ( (8.5)% (10.3)% (9.4)% The decrease in revenues for fiscal 2021 compared with fiscal 2020 reflects project terminations, the disposition of the HHS business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, decrease in run-rate project volume, and project completions offset by contributions from our Luxoft acquisition which was executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and additional services provided to new and existing customers. Fiscal 2021 revenues included a favorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 1.7%, primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Australian Dollar, Euro, and British Pound. 39 For a discussion of risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report. As a global company, over 66% of our fiscal 2021 revenues were earned internationally. As a result, the comparison of revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, from period to period, is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 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. The table below summarizes our constant currency revenues: (in millions) GBS GIS Total Revenues Global Business Services Fiscal Years Ended Constant Currency March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Change Percentage Change $ $ 8,188 $ 9,111 $ 9,224 10,466 17,412 $ 19,577 $ (923) (1,242) (2,165) ) ( (10.1)% (11.9)% (11.1)% Our GBS revenues were $8.3 billion for fiscal 2021, a decrease of 8.5% compared to fiscal 2020. GBS revenue in constant currency decreased 10.1% compared to fiscal 2020. The decrease in GBS revenues was primarily due to the disposition of the HHS business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, project completions, and decrease in run-rate project volume. The decrease in revenue for fiscal 2021 was partially offset by contributions from our Luxoft acquisition which was executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and additional services provided to existing customers. Global Infrastructure Services Our GIS revenues were $9.4 billion for fiscal 2021, a decrease of 10.3% compared to fiscal 2020. GIS revenue in constant currency decreased 11.9% compared to fiscal 2020. The decrease in GIS revenues reflects project completions, terminations, and decrease in run-rate project volume. The decrease in revenue for fiscal 2021 was partially offset by additional services provided to new and existing customers. During fiscal 2021, GBS and GIS had contract awards of $11.0 billion and $8.8 billion, respectively, compared with $9.0 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively, during fiscal 2020. 40 Costs and Expenses Our total costs and expenses were as follows: (in millions) Costs of services (excludes depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs) Selling, general and administrative (excludes depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs) Depreciation and amortization Goodwill impairment losses Restructuring costs Interest expense Interest income Debt extinguishment costs Gain on disposition of businesses Gain on arbitration award Other expense (income), net Total costs and expenses Fiscal Years Ended Amount Percentage of Revenues March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ 14,086 $ 14,901 79.5 % 76.0 % 2,066 2,050 11.7 10.5 1,970 — 551 361 (98) 41 (2,004) — 102 17,075 $ 1,942 6,794 252 383 (165) — — (632) (720) 24,805 $ 11.1 — 3.1 2.0 (0.6) 0.2 (11.3) — 0.6 96.3 % 9.9 34.7 1.3 2.0 (0.8) — — (3.2) (3.7) 126.7 % Percentage Point Change 3.5 1.2 1.2 (34.7) 1.8 — 0.2 0.2 (11.3) 3.2 4.3 ) (30.4) ( The 30.4 point decrease in total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2021 primarily reflects gains net of losses on dispositions in the current year and our fiscal 2020 goodwill impairment losses, partially offset by the gain on arbitration award that didn’t occur in fiscal 2021. Costs of Services Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("COS"), was $14.1 billion for fiscal 2021, as compared to $14.9 billion in fiscal 2020. COS decreased $0.8 billion compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to cost optimization savings partially offset by $190 million in impairments realized during fiscal 2021. The majority of impairments were on assets pre-purchased through preferred vendor agreements, which are scheduled to expire in fiscal 2022. The remainder of impairments primarily relate to software. COS as a percentage of revenue increased 3.5% as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was driven by a decline in revenue exceeding associated cost reductions that were further impacted by asset impairment during the current fiscal year. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("SG&A"), was $2.1 billion for fiscal 2021, consistent with fiscal 2020. SG&A as a percentage of revenue increased 1.2%, compared to fiscal 2020. The increase was driven by a reduction in revenue during the current fiscal year. Transaction, separation and integration-related costs, included in SG&A, were $358 million during fiscal 2021, as compared to $318 million during fiscal 2020. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation expense was $754 million for fiscal 2021, as compared to $643 million in fiscal 2020. Depreciation expense increased $111 million due to an increase in newly capitalized assets and assets placed into service. Amortization expense was $1,216 million for fiscal 2021, as compared to $1,299 million in fiscal 2020. Amortization expense decreased $83 million primarily due to a decrease in customer related intangibles related to the disposition of the HHS business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. See Note 3 - "Divestitures" for additional information. 41 Goodwill Impairment Losses DXC recognized goodwill impairment charges totaling $6,794 million during fiscal 2020. The impairment charges were primarily the result of a sustained decline in market capitalization during the fiscal 2020. See Note 12 - "Goodwill" for additional information. Restructuring Costs Restructuring costs represent severance related to workforce optimization programs and expense associated with facilities and data center rationalization. During fiscal 2021, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our workforce and facility structures. Total restructuring costs recorded, net of reversals, during fiscal 2021 and 2020 were $551 million and $252 million, respectively. The net amounts recorded included $13 million and $10 million of pension benefit augmentations for fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively, owed to certain employees under legal or contractual obligations. These augmentations will be paid as part of normal pension distributions over several years. See Note 22 - "Restructuring Costs" for additional information about our restructuring actions. Interest Expense and Interest Income Interest expense for fiscal 2021 was $361 million, as compared to $383 million in fiscal 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower interest rates on finance leases, a reduction in interest charges within our multicurrency cash pools, and retirement of debt instruments. The decrease in interest expense for fiscal 2021 was partially offset by increased amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility. Interest income for fiscal 2021 was $98 million, as compared to $165 million in fiscal 2020. The year-over-year decrease in interest income was primarily driven by interest income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 related to arbitration discussed below under the caption “Gain on Arbitration Award" and lower income from our multicurrency cash pools and money market accounts. Debt Extinguishment Costs During fiscal 2021, we recorded $41 million of debt extinguishment costs within the consolidated statement of operations, which consists primarily of costs related to the redemption of 4.00% Senior Notes due fiscal 2024. There were no debt extinguishment costs recorded in fiscal 2020. Gain on Dispositions During fiscal 2021, DXC sold its HHS business for $5.0 billion which resulted in an estimated pre-tax gain on sale of $2,014 million, net of closing costs. Insignificant businesses were also sold during fiscal 2021 that resulted in a loss of $10 million. Gain on Arbitration Award During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, DXC received final arbitration award proceeds of $666 million related to the HPE Enterprise Services merger completed in fiscal 2018. The arbitration award included $632 million in damages that were recorded as a gain. The remaining $34 million of the award related to pre-award interest. Dispute details are subject to confidentiality obligations. Other Expense (Income), Net Other expense (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. 42 The components of other expense (income), net for fiscal 2021 and 2020 are as follows: (in millions) Non-service cost components of net periodic pension expense (income) Foreign currency loss (gain) Other gain Total Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ 110 $ 14 (22) 102 $ (658) (25) (37) ) (720) ( The $822 million decrease in other income for fiscal 2021, as compared to the prior fiscal year, was due to a year-over- year decrease of $768 million in non-service components of net periodic pension income attributable to changes in mark- to-market actuarial assumptions and asset valuations, a year-over-year unfavorable foreign currency impact of $39 million, and a $15 million decrease in other gains related to sales of non-operating assets. Taxes Our effective tax rate ("ETR") on income (loss) from continuing operations, before taxes, for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 was 122.3%, 2.5% and 19% respectively. A reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the ETR, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 13 - "Income Taxes." In fiscal 2021, the ETR was primarily impacted by: • • • • • Impact of the HHS and other business divestitures, which increased tax expense and increased the ETR $344 million and 52.6%, respectively. The HHS tax gain increased tax expense and the ETR as the tax basis of assets sold, primarily goodwill, was lower than the book basis. Continued losses in countries where we are recording a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Belgium, Denmark, Italy, France, Luxembourg, and U.S., and an impairment of the full German deferred tax asset, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $1,565 million and 239.3%, respectively. An increase in Income Tax and Foreign Tax Credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $319 million and 48.7%, respectively. Local losses on investments in Luxembourg that increased the foreign rate differential and decreased the ETR by $1,226 million and 187.5%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company recognized adjustments to uncertain tax positions that increased the overall income tax expense and the ETR by $112 million and 17.2% respectively. 43 In fiscal 2020, the ETR was primarily impacted by: • • • • • Non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $1,482 million and 28.3%, respectively. Non-taxable gain on the arbitration award, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $186 million and 3.6%, respectively A change in the net valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Australia, Brazil, China, Luxembourg, and Singapore, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $631 million and 12.1% respectively. An increase in Income Tax and Foreign Tax Credits, primarily relating to research and development credits recognized for prior years, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $135 million and 2.6%, respectively. Local losses on investments in Luxembourg that increased the foreign rate differential and decreased the ETR by $637 million and 12.2%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount. In fiscal 2019, the ETR was primarily impacted by: • • • Local tax losses on investments in Luxembourg that decreased the foreign tax rate differential and decreased the ETR by $360 million and 23.7%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount. A change in the net valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Luxembourg, Germany, Spain, U.K., and Switzerland, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $256 million and 16.9%, respectively. A decrease in the transition tax liability and a change in tax accounting method for deferred revenue, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $66 million and 4.3%, respectively. The IRS is examining the Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal 2008 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC's fiscal 2008 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company has entered into negotiations for a resolution on the years under audit through settlement with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for these years that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have an agreement in principle as to some of these 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 intend to challenge them in the IRS Office of Appeals or Tax Court, these matters are not fully reserved and would result in a federal and state tax expense of $405 million (including estimated interest and penalties) and related cash cost for the unreserved portion of the these items if we do not prevail in Tax Court. We do not expect these matters that proceed to tax court to be resolved in the next 12 months. We have received a notice of deficiency with respect to fiscal 2011 and 2013, and have filed a petition in Tax Court with respect to fiscal 2013 and expect to file in Tax Court with respect to fiscal 2011 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. We also expect fiscal 2010 to proceed to Tax Court. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2008 through 2012 through August 31, 2021 to provide for IRS completion of their review. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2014 through fiscal 2017 through October 31, 2021 to provide for IRS completion of their review. The Company expects to reach a resolution for all years no earlier than the first quarter of fiscal 2023 except for agreed issues related to fiscal 2008 through 2010 and fiscal 2011 through 2017 federal tax returns, which are expected to be resolved within twelve months. In addition, the Company may settle certain other tax examinations, have lapses in statutes of limitations, or voluntarily settle income tax positions in negotiated settlements for different amounts than we have accrued as uncertain tax positions. The Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts for tax positions that previously met a more likely than not standard if such positions are not upheld. Conversely, the Company could settle positions by payment with the tax authorities for amounts lower than those that have been accrued or extinguish a position through less payment than previously estimated. We believe the outcomes that are reasonably possible within the next twelve months may result in a reduction in liability for uncertain tax positions of $52 million, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carryforwards. 44 Loss Per Share Diluted loss per share for fiscal 2021 was $0.59, as compared to $20.76 in fiscal 2020. The loss per share decrease was due to a decrease of $5,212 million in net loss. Diluted loss per share for fiscal 2021 includes $1.79 per share of restructuring costs, $1.06 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.59 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.55 per share of impairment losses, $(4.22) per share of net gains on dispositions, $1.57 per share of pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses, $0.12 per share of debt extinguishment costs, and $0.55 per share of tax adjustment relating to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets offset by changes in outside basis related to held for sale classification of the HPS business. 45 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 from continuing operations before income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, constant currency revenues, net debt and net debt-to-total capitalization. We believe EBIT, adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income 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. We believe net debt and net debt-to-total capitalization provide investors with useful supplemental information about DXC’s net leverage and capitalization. One category of expenses excluded from adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income from continuing operations before tax, non- GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, 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 from continuing operations before tax, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, impairment losses, may result in a significant difference in period over period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts, generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and do not expect to occur frequently. Further assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management’s control. 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—Fiscal 2021 Highlights.” 46 Certain non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP include: Fiscal Years Ended (in millions) March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Change Income (loss) from continuing operations Non-GAAP income from continuing operations Net income loss Adjusted EBIT $ $ $ $ 654 839 $ $ (146) $ 1,102 $ (5,228) $ 1,843 $ (5,358) $ 2,061 $ 5,882 (1,004) 5,212 (959) Percentage Change 112.5 % (54.5)% 97.3 % (46.5)% 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, planning, financing and advisory fees and other similar charges associated with mergers, acquisitions, strategic investments, joint ventures, and dispositions and other similar transactions.(1) Amortization of acquired intangible assets – includes amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations. • Gains and losses on dispositions – gains and losses related to dispositions of businesses, strategic assets and • • interests in less than wholly-owned entities.(2) Pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses – pension and OPEB actuarial mark to market adjustments and settlement gains and losses. Debt extinguishment costs – costs associated with early retirement, redemption, repayment or repurchase of debt and debt-like items including any breakage, make-whole premium, prepayment penalty or similar costs as well as solicitation and other legal and advisory expenses.(3) Impairment losses – impairment losses on assets classified as long-term on the balance sheet.(4) • • Gain on arbitration award – reflects a gain related to the HPES merger arbitration award. • Tax adjustments – adjustments to impair tax assets, merger and divestiture related tax matters, restructuring charges and income tax expense of non-GAAP adjustments. Income tax expense of other non-GAAP adjustments is computed by applying the jurisdictional tax rate to the pre-tax adjustments on a jurisdictional basis.(5) (1) TSI-Related Costs for all periods presented include fees and other internal and external expenses associated with legal, accounting, consulting, due diligence, investment banking advisory, and other services, as well as financing fees, retention incentives, and resolution of transaction related claims in connection with, or resulting from, exploring or executing potential acquisitions, dispositions and strategic investments, whether or not announced or consummated. (2) Gains and losses on dispositions for fiscal 2021 includes a $2,014 million gain on sale of the HHS business, a gain of $5 million on sales of other insignificant businesses, and a $15 million loss on equity securities without readily determinable fair value, which were adjusted to fair value following receipt of a bona fide offer to purchase. We expect to close the sale of the equity securities during fiscal 2022. (3) Debt extinguishment costs adjustments for all periods presented includes $34 million to fully redeem our 4.00% senior notes due fiscal 2024 and $7 million to partially redeem two series of our 4.45% senior notes due fiscal 2023 via tender offer. (4) Impairment losses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 of $190 million relate to the impairment of undeployable assets, software, and capitalized transition and transformation costs. In fiscal 2020 goodwill was impaired following a sustained decline in market capitalization. Impairment losses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $190 million. This includes $165 million impairment for assets pre-purchased through preferred vendor agreements and determined undeployable, $12 million partial impairment of acquired software, $7 million partial impairment of internally developed software intended for internal use and external sale, and $6 million of capitalized transition and transformation contract costs. 47 (5) Tax adjustment for fiscal 2021 includes $175 million for the impairment of the German deferred tax asset via a valuation allowance, $9 million for tax expense relating to the USPS spin-off, offset by $35 million tax benefit related to the held for sale classification of the Healthcare Provider Software business, and $7 million tax benefit related to prior restructuring charges. The German tax asset was created from multiple periods of losses in Germany that, if not for certain non-GAAP adjustments of restructurings, pension mark to market loss, and impairments, would not have required the asset to be impaired and a valuation allowance established. Tax adjustments for fiscal 2020 includes tax expense related to prior restructuring charges.

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 $0.2 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 $0.6 billion held in a German financial services subsidiary subject to regulatory requirements, and $0.1 billion held by majority owned consolidated subsidiaries where third-parties or public shareholders hold minority interests. Cash was $3.0 billion and $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The following table summarizes our cash flow activity: (in millions) Net cash provided by operating activities Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents Cash classified within current assets held for sale Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year Cash and cash equivalents at end of year $ $ Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 124 $ 4,665 (5,476) 39 (63) (711) 2,350 $ (2,137) 657 (90) — 780 3,679 2,968 $ 2,899 3,679 $ 1,783 69 (1,663) (19) — 170 2,729 2,899 Operating cash flow Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2021 was $124 million as compared to $2,350 million during fiscal 2020. The decrease of $2,226 million was due to a decrease in net income, net of adjustments of $2,923 million. The net decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by a $697 million favorable change in working capital due to lower working capital outflows during fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020. The following table contains certain key working capital metrics: Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable Cash conversion cycle March 31, 2021 67 As of March 31, 2020 65 March 31, 2019 64 (41) 26 (66) (1) (69) (5) 50 Investing cash flow Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities during fiscal 2021 was $4,665 million as compared to $(2,137) million during fiscal 2020. The increase of $6,802 million was primarily due to cash proceeds received from business divestitures of $4,947 million in fiscal 2021, a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions of $2,181 million, an increase in proceeds from sale of assets of $91 million, a decrease in purchases of property and equipment of $89 million, and the absence of short- term investing, net of proceeds, of $37 million in fiscal 2020. This was partially offset by a decrease in cash collections related to deferred purchase price receivable of $512 million and a $48 million increase in payments for software licenses related to the divestitures of the HHS business. Financing cash flow Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during fiscal 2021 was $(5,476) million, as compared to $657 million during fiscal 2020. The $6,133 million increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in repayments, net of borrowings, of $3,718 million on term loans and other long-term debt, $3,000 million on lines of credit, and $229 million on commercial paper. In total, we used $3.5 billion of the net proceeds from the sale of the HHS business to repay debt during the fiscal year. We also had an increase in payments on finance leases and borrowings for asset financing of $65 million and payments of debt extinguishment costs of $41 million in fiscal 2021. This was partially offset by elimination of stock repurchases during fiscal 2021 while common stock repurchases totaled $736 million in fiscal 2020 and a decrease in dividend payments of $161 million from fiscal 2020. Capital Resources See Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for a discussion of the general purpose of guarantees and commitments. The anticipated sources of funds to fulfill such commitments are listed below and under the subheading "Liquidity." The following table summarizes our total debt: (in millions) Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt Long-term debt, net of current maturities Total debt As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ 1,167 $ 4,345 5,512 $ 1,276 8,672 9,948 The $4.4 billion decrease in total debt during fiscal 2021 was primarily attributed to the prepayment of $1.5 billion of Revolver Credit Facility outstanding at fiscal year-end March 31, 2020, €312 million of Euro commercial paper, and the following term loan facilities: €750 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2022 and 2023, A$800 million of AUD Term Loan due fiscal 2022, £450 million of GBP Term Loan due fiscal 2022, $481 million of USD Term Loan due fiscal 2025, €350 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2024 and the retirement of $127 million principal amount of 4.45% Senior Notes due fiscal 2023 via tender offer. (See Note 14 - "Debt — Tender Offers.") In addition, we issued irrevocable redemption notice to retire all the remaining two series of 4.45% Senior Notes (approximately $319 million) due fiscal 2023. These were partially offset by the issuance of $500 million of 4.13% Senior Notes due fiscal 2026. 51 During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we applied for and were confirmed eligible to participate in the Bank of England’s (“BOE”) COVID Corporate Funding Facility, a BOE program that provides term liquidity funding to investment grade corporate issuers with significant operations in the U.K., in order to stabilize and facilitate continued access to sterling commercial paper markets. At our option, we can borrow up to a maximum of €1.0 billion or its equivalent in Euro, British Pound and U.S. dollar. On June 15, 2020, DXC Capital Funding DAC (previously named DXC Capital Funding Limited), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued £600 million in commercial paper maturing May 2021 under its existing €1.0 billion commercial paper program via direct sale to the BOE. The issued £600 million in commercial paper was subsequently prepaid as discussed below. In October 2020, we sold the HHS business and used approximately $3.5 billion of the proceeds to prepay $1,250 million of Revolver Credit Facility, £600 million of GBP commercial paper (approximately $772 million), €350 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2024 (approximately $410 million), $381 million of USD Term loan due fiscal 2025, A$500 million of AUD Term Loan due fiscal 2022 (approximately $358 million), and €250 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2022 and 2023 (approximately $292 million). During fiscal 2021, we borrowed the remaining $2.5 billion under the $4.0 billion credit facility agreement and repaid the full $4.0 billion on the same. The purpose of the borrowing was to mitigate our reliance on volatile short-term commercial paper markets and to strengthen our cash and liquidity position given the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 crisis and its potential impact on our customers and our business. The credit facility repayment resulted from the availability of other liquidity resources. The entire $4.0 billion credit facility is available for redraw at our request. In March 2021, we used cash on hand and redeemed the entire issue of $500 million of 4.00% Senior Notes due fiscal 2024 in anticipation of divestiture proceeds from the sale of our HPS business that was completed on April 1, 2021. We also commenced in March 2021 a concurrent tender offer and issued irrevocable redemption notice that resulted in the retirement of $127 million principal amount 4.45% Notes due fiscal 2023. Subsequent to the fiscal year, we used the proceeds from the sale of our HPS business to complete the retirement of all remaining $319 million of the two series of 4.45% Senior Notes due fiscal 2023. We also repurchased $33 million of the 4.125% Senior Notes due fiscal 2026 and took measures to retire and prepay certain capital leases and equipment related financing whose balance was about $300 million as of fiscal 2021 using the proceeds from the divestitures of other businesses and existing cash on hand. We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. 52 The debt maturity chart below summarizes the future maturities of long-term debt principal for fiscal years subsequent to March 31, 2021 and excludes maturities of borrowings for assets acquired under long-term financing and finance lease liabilities. The chart does not reflect the redemption of the remaining $319 million in Notes due fiscal 2023 that were initiated via redemption notice in March 2021, which was completely retired in April 2021.

(2) Net debt and Net debt-to-total capitalization are non-GAAP measures used by management to assess our ability to service our debts using our cash and cash equivalents, including cash subject to limitations, as previously described in Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing our capital structure in a more comprehensive way compared to gross debt based ratios alone. 53 Net debt-to-total capitalization as of March 31, 2021 decreased as compared to March 31, 2020, primarily due to the decrease in total debt attributed to the prepayment of the credit facility agreement and various term loans, bonds and commercial papers during the fiscal year as mentioned above, and by the increase in equity primarily attributed to the gain on disposition of businesses during fiscal 2021. As of March 31, 2021, our credit ratings were as follows: Rating Agency Fitch Moody's S&P Long Term Ratings BBB Baa2 BBB- Short Term Ratings F-2 P-2 - Outlook Stable Negative Stable For information on the risks of ratings downgrades, see Item 1A - Risk Factors subsection titled, "Our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs, could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing, cost, and access to capital markets." See Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for a discussion of the general purpose of guarantees and commitments. The anticipated sources of funds to fulfill such commitments are listed below. 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 and bonds. In addition, we currently utilize and will further utilize 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 which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance. The following table summarizes our total liquidity: (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents Available borrowings under our revolving credit facility Total liquidity As of March 31, 2021 $ $ 2,968 4,000 6,968 During March 2020 as the evolving global COVID-19 crisis resulted in increasing government actions to shut down economic activity and enforce stay-at-home orders, global capital markets were disrupted and became tumultuous, including the near shut down of commercial paper markets for issuers such as the Company as short-term fixed income investors prepared for potential redemptions. On March 24, 2020, the Company announced the draw-down of $1.5 billion from its Revolving Credit Facility due 2025 in order to increase cash on hand and eliminate the reliance on commercial paper markets along with the suspension of the Company’s Euro and USD commercial paper program until the Company deems such capital markets stabilized and reliable. As a result, the Company’s commercial paper outstanding was reduced from $863 million to $542 million as of March 31, 2020, and further reduced to $213 million as of March 31, 2021. During fiscal 2021, capital markets have stabilized and central bank actions have improved liquidity in commercial paper markets and our access to such commercial paper markets have normalized. 54 On April 6, 2020, the Company drew the entire $2.5 billion remaining availability under its Revolving Credit Facilities, in order to secure liquidity as additional cash on hand to support the Company’s liquidity resources during the COVID-19 crisis and to mitigate the uncertainties caused by volatile capital markets, changing governmental policies, and evolving impact on world economies. In May 2020, the Company issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of Senior Notes in the form of $500 million principal amount of 4.00% Senior Notes due fiscal 2024 and $500 million principal amount of 4.13% Senior Notes due fiscal 2026. All the net proceeds from the Notes offerings were applied towards the early prepayment of the Company’s term loan facilities, including prepayment of €500 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2022, £150 million of GBP Term Loan due fiscal 2022, A$300 million of AUD Term Loan due fiscal 2022, and $100 million of USD Term Loan due fiscal 2025. In March 2021, the Company retired $500 million principal amount of 4.0% Senior Notes due fiscal 2024. The Company retired via tender offer $127 million principal amount of its 4.45% Senior Notes due fiscal 2023 across two series in March 2021 and issued irrevocable redemption notice for the remaining amounts outstanding. In April 2021, the Company retired the remaining $319 million principal amount across two series through redemption. There is no amount outstanding under either series of the 4.45% Notes due fiscal 2023 after the completion of these two actions. On May 15, 2020, the Company agreed with its lenders and modified the definition of Leverage Ratio to be measured on a “net of cash” basis across all of the Company’s bank credit and term loan facilities, and for such newly defined Leverage Ratio limitation of Total Consolidated Net Indebtedness to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, as defined in such credit and term loan facilities, currently at 3.0x, to be reduced to 2.25x thereafter beginning the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (with the first quarterly measurement date as of June 30, 2021). The net effect of such adjustment to the Leverage Ratio definition in the Company’s credit and term loan facilities is to allow the Company the flexibility to maintain elevated cash balances going forward both during current circumstances and thereafter, without constraining the Company’s strategy of maintaining strong access to liquidity during the COVID crisis. The Company’s credit and term loan facilities that were modified include: $4.0 billion Revolving Credit Facilities due fiscal year 2025, €250 million Euro Term Loan due fiscal year 2022 (a substantial portion was extended to mature in fiscal year 2023 pursuant to the Euro Term Loan Extension, see below), €750 million Euro Term Loan due fiscal year 2023 (a substantial portion was extended to mature in fiscal year 2024 pursuant to the Euro Term Loan Extension, see below), £300 million in GBP Term Loan due fiscal year 2022, A$500 million in AUD Term Loan due fiscal year 2022, and approximately $382 million in outstanding USD Term Loan due fiscal year 2025. As of fiscal 2021, only $4.0 billion Revolving Credit Facilities due fiscal year 2026 (including a $390 million sub-tranche due fiscal 2025) and €400 million Euro Term Loan due fiscal year 2024 (including a small €27 million sub-tranche due fiscal 2023) remain outstanding and are subject to such amended Leverage Ratio limitations in the Company’s credit and term loan facilities. On May 15, 2020, the Company initiated elective extension amendments in accordance with the terms of the aggregate €1.0 billion principal amount of Euro Term Loans outstanding. Accordingly, €216.7 million out of €250 million Euro Term Loan due fiscal year 2022 agreed to extend maturity 12-months to mature fiscal year 2023, and €700 million out of total €750 million Euro Term Loan due fiscal year 2023 agreed to extend maturity 12-months to mature fiscal year 2024. Margin would increase during the 12-month extension terms to Euribor + 125bps and Euribor + 175bps respectively, for the Euro Term Loans originally due fiscal years 2022 and 2023, which would be an increase from the current applicable margin of Euribor + 65bps, and Euribor + 80 bps, respectively. There is no change to current margin or terms through the original maturity term of the Euro Term Loans. Share Repurchases During fiscal 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our common stock and during fiscal 2019, our Board of Directors had approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase. This program became effective on April 3, 2017 with no end date established. There were no share repurchases during fiscal 2021. See Note 16 - "Stockholders' Equity" for more information. Dividends To maintain our financial flexibility we continue to suspend payment of quarterly dividends for fiscal 2022. 55 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 balance sheets. See Note 6 - "Receivables" and Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements. 56 Contractual Obligations Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2021, were as follows: (in millions) Debt(1) Finance lease liabilities Operating Leases(2) Purchase Obligations(3) U.S. Tax Reform - Transition Tax(4) U.S. FICA payroll tax deferral U.K. VAT deferral Interest and preferred dividend payments(5) Less than 1 year 2-3 years 4-5 years More than 5 years Total $ $ 555 398 452 908 425 629 1,487 1,650 23 33 66 132 43 33 — 241 $ 2,173 $ 737 $ 71 305 352 109 — — 162 — 208 15 — — — 104 4,373 894 1,594 3,504 175 66 66 639 Total(6) $ 3,146 $ 3,929 $ 3,172 $ 1,064 $ 11,311 (1) Amounts represent scheduled principal payments of long-term debt and mandatory redemption of preferred stock of a consolidated subsidiary. (2) Amounts represent present value of operating leases including imputed interests. See Note 7 - "Leases" for more information. (3) Includes long-term purchase agreements with certain software, hardware, telecommunication and other service providers and exclude agreements that are cancellable without penalty. If we do not meet the specified service minimums, we may have an obligation to pay the service provider a portion of or the entire shortfall. See Note 23 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for more information. (4) The transition tax resulted in recording a total transition tax obligation of $237 million, of which $243 million was recorded as income tax liability and $6 million recorded as a reduction in our unrecognized tax benefits, which has been omitted from this table. The transition tax is payable over eight years; 8% of net tax liability in each of years 1-5, 15% in year 6, 20% in year 7, and 25% in year 8. We have made our first three payments. (5) Amounts represent scheduled interest payments on long-term debt and scheduled dividend payments associated with the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of a consolidated subsidiary excluding contingent dividends associated with the participation and variable appreciation premium features. (6) See Note 13 - "Income Taxes" for additional information about the estimated liability related to unrecognized tax benefits, which has been omitted from this table. See Note 15 - "Pension and Other Benefit Plans" for the estimated liability related to estimated future benefit payments under our Pension and OPEB plans that have been omitted from this table. 57 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with 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. Revenue Recognition Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple performance obligations. Contracts with multiple performance obligations Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or performance obligations to our customers, which may include a combination of services, products or both and may also contain leases embedded in those arrangements. As a result, significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in contracts with multiple performance obligations should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and any lease components and the timing of revenue recognition for each. For contracts with multiple performance obligations and lease components, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our contracts involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions. Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various performance obligations and lease components, revenues for each are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for each. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception. Contract modifications A contract modification is a legally binding change to the scope, price, or both of an existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract, and whether they modify an embedded lease. This determination requires significant judgment, which could impact the timing of revenue recognition. 58 Costs to obtain contracts with customers Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, analyzing our income tax reserves, the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and any corresponding adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions. As a global enterprise, our ETR is affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, the extent to which our non-U.S. earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, changes in tax regulations, acquisitions, dispositions and the tax characteristics of our income. We cannot predict what our ETR will be in the future because there is uncertainty regarding these factors. With the following exceptions, the majority of our global unremitted foreign earnings have been taxed or would be exempt from tax upon repatriation, except for the following earnings which are considered indefinitely reinvested: approximately $522 million that could be taxable when repatriated to the U.S. under section 1.245A-5(b) of the final Treasury regulations issued during fiscal 2021; and 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. Considerations impacting the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset and historical and projected taxable income as well as tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. We recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $3.9 billion as of March 31, 2021 due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. However, valuation allowances are subject to change in future reporting periods due to changes in various factors. We determine whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit is recorded in our financial statements. A tax position is measured as the portion of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority (that has full knowledge of all relevant information). We may be required to change our provision for income taxes when the ultimate treatment of certain items is challenged or agreed to by taxing authorities, when estimates used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly change, or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in valuation allowances. Future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur. Recent enactment of the tax laws or changes in tax laws resulting from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s multi-jurisdictional plan of action to address “base erosion and profit shifting” could impact our effective tax rate. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex changing tax regulations. 59 The India Finance Bill 2021 was enacted on March 28, 2021 after receiving approval of both houses of Parliament and assent of the President of India. The key provision of this bill disallows depreciation on goodwill in case of merger/ demerger/slump sale, but permits a deduction for the amount paid for acquired goodwill at time of sale. The disallowance of tax depreciation on goodwill has been factored in the calculation of our tax liabilities. The U.K. Finance Bill 2021 (“Finance Bill”), which will become Finance Act 2021 after Royal Assent was published in March 2021. The Finance Bill included increases in the corporation tax and diverted profits tax rates from April 1, 2023, the new temporary 130% super deduction first year capital allowances and the temporary extension to the carry-back of trading losses. As the detail of the legislation has yet to be finalized or enacted, it is difficult at this stage to determine the impact of the Finance Bill on our future financial results in the U.K. Business Combinations We account for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires us to estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This includes acquired intangible assets such as customer- related intangibles, the liabilities assumed and contingent consideration, if any. Liabilities assumed may include litigation and other contingency reserves existing at the time of acquisition and require judgment in ascertaining the related fair values. Independent appraisals may be used to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Such appraisals are based on significant estimates provided by us, such as forecasted revenues or profits utilized in determining the fair value of contract-related acquired intangible assets or liabilities. Significant changes in assumptions and estimates subsequent to completing the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, as well as differences in actual and estimated results, could result in material impacts to our financial results. Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in earnings. Additional information related to the acquisition date fair value of acquired assets and liabilities obtained during the allocation period, not to exceed one year, may result in changes to the recorded values of acquired assets and liabilities, resulting in an offsetting adjustment to the goodwill associated with the business acquired. Defined Benefit Plans The computation of our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations is dependent on various assumptions. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases and medical cost trend rates. Our management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on observable inputs for similar assets or on significant unobservable inputs if not available. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate. Our weighted average rates used were: Discount rates Expected long-term rates of return on assets March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 2.4 % 5.6 % 2.4 % 5.8 % 2.5 % 5.3 % 60 The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is impacted by the expected asset mix of the plan; judgments regarding the correlation between historical excess returns and future excess returns and expected investment expenses. The discount rate assumption is based on current market rates for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities similar to the expected duration of the benefit payment period. The following table provides the impact changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had on our net periodic pension benefits and settlement and contractual termination charges for fiscal 2021: (in millions) Expected long-term return on plan assets Expected long-term return on plan assets Discount rate Discount rate Approximate Change in Net Periodic Pension Expense Approximate Change in Settlement, Contractual Termination, and Mark-to-Market Charges $ $ $ $ (58) $ 58 $ 25 $ (29) $ 61 (61) (1,001) 1,246 Change 0.5% (0.5)% 0.5% (0.5)% 61 Valuation of Assets We review long-lived ("assets, intangible assets, and goodwill") for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Assessing the fair value of assets involves significant estimates and assumptions including estimation of future cash flows, the timing of such cash flows, and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in projecting future cash flows. The valuation of long-lived and intangible assets involves management estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of assets, particularly purchased intangible assets. These estimates are subjective and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and forecasts. Evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets, liabilities, and goodwill to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The identification of reporting units involves consideration of components of the operating segments and whether or not there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by management. Additionally, we consider whether or not it is reasonable to aggregate any of the identified components that have similar economic characteristics. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions include a significant change in the business climate, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition which could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach, using performance-metric market multiples. The discount rate used in an income approach is based on our weighted-average cost of capital and may be adjusted for the relevant risks associated with business-specific characteristics and any uncertainty related to a reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected future cash flows. 62 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK As a multinational company, we are exposed to certain market risks such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates can impact our foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions in foreign currency, whereas changes in benchmark interest rates can impact interest expense associated with our floating interest rate debt and the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt. A variety of practices are employed to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and the use of derivative instruments. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Presented below is a description of our risks together with a sensitivity analysis of each of these risks based on selected changes in market rates. The foreign currency model incorporates the impact of diversification from holding multiple currencies and the correlation of revenues, costs and any related short-term contract financing in the same currency. In order to determine the impact of changes in interest rates on our future results of operations and cash flows, we calculated the increase or decrease in the index underlying these rates. We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt primarily using an expected present value technique using interest rates offered to us for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. These analyses reflect management's view of changes that are reasonably possible to occur over a one-year period. Foreign Currency Risk We are exposed to both favorable and unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contracts denominated in foreign currencies. Exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates arising from these contracts is analyzed during the contract bidding process. We generally manage these contracts by incurring costs in the same currency in which revenues are received and any related short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing in the same currency. Thus, by generally matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same currency, we are able to mitigate a portion of the foreign currency risk to earnings. However, due to our increased use of offshore labor centers, we have become more exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We experienced significant foreign currency fluctuations during fiscal 2021 due primarily to the volatility of the Australian dollar, Euro, and British pound in relation to the U.S. dollar. Significant foreign currency fluctuations during fiscal 2020 was due primarily to the volatility of the Australian dollar, British pound and Euro in relation to the U.S. dollar. We have policies and procedures to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency by using short-term foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, including intercompany accounts and loans. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and changes in their fair value are reported in current period earnings within other expense (income), net in the statements of operations. We also use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risk related to certain Indian rupee denominated intercompany obligations and forecasted transactions. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with critical terms that match the hedged items. Therefore, the changes in fair value of these forward contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes in the statements of comprehensive income and subsequently classified into net income in the period the hedged transactions are recognized in net income. 63 We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar, see Note 21 - "Revenue." During fiscal 2021, over 66% of our revenues were generated outside of the United States. For the year ended March 31, 2021, a hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would have changed revenues by approximately 6.6%, or $1.2 billion. The majority of this fluctuation would be offset by expenses incurred in local currency; and as a result, there would not be a material change to our income from continuing operations before taxes. As such, in the view of management, the resulting impact would not be material to our results of operations or cash flows. Interest Rate Risk As of March 31, 2021, we had outstanding debt with varying maturities for an aggregate carrying amount of $5.5 billion, of which $0.7 billion was floating interest rate debt. Most of our floating interest rate debt is based upon varying terms of adjusted LIBOR rates; consequently, changes in LIBOR result in the most volatility to our interest expense. As of March 31, 2021, an assumed 10% unfavorable change in interest rates would not be material to our consolidated results of operations or cash flows. A change in interest rates related to our long-term debt would not have a material impact on our financial statements as we do not record our debt at fair value. 64 ITEM 8.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 27, 2021, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Revenue Recognition — Refer to Notes 1 and 21 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers involve multiple performance obligations and may contain embedded leases, which are assessed for classification and are typically recognized either as sales type leases or as operating leases. When the Company enters into such arrangements, the contract’s transaction price is allocated to the contract performance obligations and the lease component based upon the relative standalone selling price. These conclusions could impact the timing of revenue recognition. 66 Additionally, the Company’s contracts with customers may be modified over the course of the contract term which may change the scope, price, or both, of the existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract. If the contract modification is part of the existing contract, a cumulative adjustment to revenue is recorded. If the contract modification represents the termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, the modified transaction price is allocated to the prospective performance obligations and any embedded lease components. If a contract modification modifies an embedded lease component and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, the classification of the lease is reassessed. Given these factors related to complex new contracts with customers and modifications of such contracts in the current fiscal year, the related audit effort in evaluating complex revenue arrangements was significant and required a high degree of auditor judgment. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for complex new and modified revenue arrangements included the following: • We tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to the review of revenue recognition conclusions for new and modified contracts. • We analyzed the population of material revenue arrangements that were new or modified during the year and performed the following procedures on the arrangements that were determined to be complex: – Obtained and read the customer contract and evaluated management’s identification of performance obligations and embedded lease components, if applicable. – If applicable, evaluated management’s conclusions regarding lease classification. – Evaluated management’s determination of standalone selling price for the identified performance obligations and lease components. – Recalculated the transaction price and tested the allocation of transaction price to each performance obligation and lease component. – Evaluated the pattern of delivery and revenue recognition timing for each performance obligation and lease component. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP McLean, Virginia May 27, 2021 We have served as the Company's auditor since at least 1965;

- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business DXC Technology Company ("DXC" or the "Company") 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. With decades of driving innovation, the world’s largest companies trust DXC to deploy its Enterprise Technology Stack to deliver new levels of performance, competitiveness and customer experiences. HPS Sale On April 1, 2021, DXC completed the sale of its healthcare provider software business ("HPS" or the "HPS Business") to Dedalus Holding S.p.A. ("Dedalus"). The sale was accomplished by the cash purchase of all equity interests and assets attributable to the HPS Business for €462 million (approximately $543 million), subject to certain adjustments. See Note 4 - "Assets Held for Sale" and Note 24 - "Subsequent Events" for further information. HHS Sale On October 1, 2020, DXC completed the sale of its U.S. State and Local Health and Human Services business ("HHS" or the "HHS Business") to Veritas Capital Fund Management, L.L.C. ("Veritas Capital") to form Gainwell Technologies. The sale was accomplished by the cash purchase of all equity interests and assets attributable to the HHS Business together with future services to be provided by the Company for a total enterprise value of $5.0 billion, subject to net working capital adjustments and assumed liabilities. See Note 3 - "Divestitures" for further information. Luxoft Acquisition On June 14, 2019, DXC completed its acquisition of Luxoft Holding, Inc. ("Luxoft"), a global digital strategy and software engineering firm (the "Luxoft Acquisition"). The acquisition builds on DXC’s unique value proposition as an end-to-end, mainstream IT and digital services market leader and strengthens the Company’s ability to design and deploy transformative digital solutions for customers at scale. See Note 2 - "Acquisitions" for further information. Basis of Presentation In order to make this report easier to read, DXC refers throughout to (i) the Consolidated Financial Statements as the “financial statements,” (ii) the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the “statements of operations,” (iii) the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as the "statements of comprehensive income," (iv) the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the “balance sheets,” and (v) the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the “statements of cash flows.” In addition, references throughout to numbered “Notes” refer to the numbered Notes in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements unless otherwise noted. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for annual reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The 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 attributable to non-controlling interests are presented separately in the statements of comprehensive income. 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. 75 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 reported amounts of 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. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. Therefore, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to the COVID-19 crisis and may change materially in future periods. Estimates are used for, but 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. Leases Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases (ASC 842)" using the modified retrospective method. Refer to Note 7 - "Leases" for required disclosures. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether DXC obtains substantially all economic benefits from and has the ability to direct the use of the asset. Operating leases are included in operating right- of-use ("ROU") assets, net, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities in DXC's balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current maturities in DXC's balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, DXC uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that DXC would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term. The rate is dependent on several factors, including the lease term, currency of the lease payments and the Company's credit ratings. Operating ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Operating ROU assets and lease liabilities include these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. Lease arrangements generally do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense is related to the Company's leased real estate for offices and primarily includes labor and operational costs. DXC subleases certain leased office space to third parties when it determines there is excess leased capacity. Sublease income was not material for all periods presented. The Company combines lease and non-lease components under its lease agreements. Revenue Recognition Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606),” using the modified retrospective method. Refer to Note 21 - “Revenue” for required disclosures. The Company’s accounting policy related to the new revenue standard is summarized below. 76 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company's primary service offerings are information technology outsourcing, other professional services, or a combination thereof. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to DXC's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. DXC determines revenue recognition through the five-step model as follows: • • • • • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer Identification of the performance obligations in the contract Determination of the transaction price Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation DXC's IT outsourcing ("ITO") arrangements typically reflect a single performance obligation that comprises a series of distinct services which are substantially the same and provided over a period of time using the same measure of progress. Revenue derived from these arrangements is recognized over time based upon the level of services delivered in the distinct periods in which they are provided based on time increments. When other parties are involved in providing goods or services as part of our customer arrangements, DXC recognizes revenue on a gross basis as a principal when it controls goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. DXC's contracts often include upfront fees billed for activities to familiarize DXC with the customers operations, take control over their administration and operation, and adapt them to DXC's solutions. Upfront fees are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which approximates the manner in which the services are provided. These activities typically do not qualify as performance obligations, and the related revenues are allocated to the relevant performance obligations and recognized ratably over time as the performance obligation is satisfied during the period in which DXC provides the related service, which is typically the life of the contract. Software transactions that include multiple performance obligations are described below. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, DXC allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which the Company forecasts its expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. DXC's ITO arrangements may also contain embedded leases for equipment used to fulfill services. A contract with a customer includes an embedded lease when DXC grants the customer a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Embedded leases with customers are typically recognized either as a sales type lease in which revenue and cost of sales is recognized upon lease commencement; or they may be recognized as operating leases in which revenue is recognized over the usage period. Where a contract contains an embedded lease, the contract’s transaction price is allocated to the contract performance obligations and the lease component based upon the relative standalone selling price. The transaction price of a contract is determined based on fixed and variable consideration. Variable consideration related to the Company’s ITO offerings often include volume-based pricing that are allocated to the distinct days of the services to which the variable consideration pertains. However, in certain cases, estimates of variable consideration, including penalties, contingent milestone payments and rebates are necessary. The Company only includes estimates of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. These judgments involve consideration of historical and expected experience with the customer and other similar customers, and the facts and circumstances specific to the arrangement. The Company generally provides its services under time and materials contracts, unit price contracts, fixed-price contracts, and software contracts for which revenue is recognized in the following manner: Time and materials contracts. Revenue is recognized over time at agreed-upon billing rates when services are provided. Unit-price contracts. Revenue is recognized over time based on unit metrics multiplied by the agreed upon contract unit price or when services are delivered. 77 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Fixed-price contracts. For certain fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized over time using a method that measures the extent of progress towards completion of a performance obligation, generally using a cost-input method (referred to as the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method). Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, revenue is recognized based on the proportion of total cost incurred to estimated total costs at completion. A performance obligation's estimate at completion includes all direct costs such as materials, labor, subcontractor costs, overhead, and a ratable portion of general and administrative costs. If output or input measures are not available or cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue is deferred until progress can be measured and costs are not deferred unless they meet the criteria for capitalization. Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, progress towards completion is measured based on either achievement of specified contract milestones, costs incurred as a proportion of estimated total costs, or other measures of progress when appropriate. Profit in a given period is reported at the estimated profit margin to be achieved on the overall contract. Software contracts. Certain of DXC's arrangements involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post contract customer support, and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. Revenue from distinct software licenses is recognized at a point in time when the customer can first use the software license. If significant customization is required, software revenue is recognized as the related software customization services are performed in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method described above. Revenue for post contract customer support and other software services is recognized over time as those services are provided. Modifications. Contracts with our customers may be modified over the course of the contract term and may change the scope, price or both of the existing contract. Contract modifications are reviewed to determine whether they should be accounted for as part of the original contract, the termination of an existing contract and the creation of a new contract, or as a separate contract. Contract modifications are a separate contract when the modification provides additional goods and services that are distinct and the transaction price is at the standalone selling price. If the contract modification is part of the existing contract, a cumulative adjustment to revenue is recorded. If the contract modification represents the termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, the modified transaction price is allocated to the prospective performance obligations and any embedded lease components. If a contract modification modifies an embedded lease component and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, the classification of the lease is reassessed. Practical Expedients and Exemptions DXC does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between when DXC transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. In addition, the Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions, such as sales taxes and value-added taxes. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable (billed receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets) and deferred revenue and advance contract payments (contract liabilities) on the Company's balance sheets. In arrangements that contain an element of customized software solutions, amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g. monthly) or upon achievement of certain contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, sometimes resulting in contract assets if the related billing is conditional upon more than just the passage of time. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from customers, before revenue is recognized, which results in the generation of contract liabilities. Payment terms vary by type of product or service being provided as well as by customer, although the term between invoicing and when payment is due is generally an insignificant period of time. 78 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Costs to Obtain a Contract Certain sales commissions earned by the Company's sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The majority of sales commissions are paid based on the achievement of quota- based targets. These costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit determined to be five years. The Company determined the period of benefit considering the length of its customer contracts, its technology, and other factors. The period of benefit approximates the average stated contract terms, excluding expected future renewals because sales commissions are paid upon contract renewal in a manner commensurate with the initial commissions. Some commission payments are not capitalized because they are expensed during the fiscal year as the related revenue is recognized. Capitalized sales commissions costs are classified within other assets and amortized in selling, general and administrative expenses. Costs to Fulfill a Contract Certain contract setup costs incurred upon initiation or renewal of an outsourcing contract that generate or enhance resources to be used in satisfying future performance obligations are capitalized when they are deemed recoverable. Judgment is applied to assess whether contract setup costs are capitalizable. Costs that generate or enhance resources often pertain to activities that enhance the capabilities of the services, improve customer experience, and establish a more effective and efficient IT environment. The Company recognizes these transition and transformation contract costs as other assets, which are amortized over the respective contract life. Pension and Other Benefit Plans The Company accounts for its pension, other post-retirement benefit ("OPEB"), defined contribution and deferred compensation plans using the guidance of ASC 710 "Compensation – General" and ASC 715 "Compensation – Retirement Benefits." The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses and changes in fair value of plan assets in earnings at the time of plan remeasurement as a component of net periodic benefit expense. Typically plan remeasurement occurs annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The remaining components of pension and OPEB expense, primarily current period service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. Inherent in the application of the actuarial methods are key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, rates of compensation increases, and medical cost trend rates. Company management evaluates these assumptions annually and updates assumptions as necessary. The fair value of assets is determined based on the prevailing market prices or estimated fair value of investments when quoted prices are not available. Software Development Costs After establishing technological feasibility, and until such time as the software products are available for general release to customers, the Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop commercial software products to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Costs incurred to establish technological feasibility are charged to expense as incurred. Enhancements to software products are capitalized where such enhancements extend the life or significantly expand the marketability of the products. Amortization of capitalized software development costs is determined separately for each software product. Annual amortization expense is calculated based on the greater of the ratio of current gross revenues for each product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product or the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the product. Unamortized capitalized software costs associated with commercial software products are periodically evaluated for impairment on a product-by-product basis by comparing the unamortized balance to the product’s net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from that product reduced by the related estimated future costs. When the unamortized balance exceeds the net realizable value, the unamortized balance is written down to the net realizable value and an impairment charge is recorded. 79 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Internal and external costs incurred in connection with development of upgrades or enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized. Capitalized costs associated with internal-use software are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Purchased software is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Internal-use software assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. Share-Based Compensation Share-based awards are accounted for under the fair value method. The Company provides different forms of share- based compensation to its employees and non-employee directors. This includes stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), including performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date, based on the Company's closing stock price. For awards settled in shares, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value net of estimated forfeitures over the vesting period. For awards settled in cash, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on the fair value at each reporting date net of estimated forfeitures. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to compute the estimated fair value of PSUs with a market condition. This model includes assumptions regarding term, risk-free interest rates, expected volatility and dividend yields, which are evaluated each time the Company issues an award. The risk-free rate equals the yield, as of the Valuation Date on semi- annual zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rates. The dividend yield assumption is based on the respective fiscal year dividend payouts. Expected volatility is based on a historical approach, therefore the expected volatility assumption is based on the performance period of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model to compute the estimated fair value of options granted. This model includes assumptions regarding expected term, risk-free interest rates, expected volatility and dividend yields, which are periodically evaluated. The expected term is calculated based on the Company’s historical experience with respect to its stock plan activity and an estimate of when vested and unexercised option shares will be exercised. The expected term of options is based on job tier classifications, which have different historical exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon interest rate of U.S. government issued treasury STRIPS with a period commensurate with the expected term of the options. Expected volatility is based on a blended approach, which uses a two-thirds weighting for historical volatility and one-third weighting for implied volatility. The Company’s historical volatility calculation is based on employee class and historical closing prices of the Company's peer group, in order to better align this factor with the expected terms of the stock options. DXC’s implied stock price volatility is derived from the price of exchange traded options on DXC’s stock with the longest remaining contractual term. Implied volatility is a prospective, forward looking measure representing market participants’ expectations of DXC's future stock price volatility. The dividend yield assumption is based on the respective fiscal year dividend payouts. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience. 80 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Business Combinations Companies acquired during each reporting period are reflected in the results of the Company effective from their respective dates of acquisition through the end of the reporting period. The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. If the Company obtains new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company's statements of operations. For contingent consideration recorded as a liability, the Company initially measures the amount at fair value as of the acquisition date and adjusts the liability, if needed, to fair value each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, other than measurement period adjustments, are recognized as income or expense. Acquisition- related expenses and post-acquisition integration costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. Goodwill Impairment Analysis Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" using the prospective method. Refer to Note 12 - "Goodwill" for required disclosures. 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 has defined its reporting units as its reportable segments. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining whether an event indicating impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indicators include: a significant decline in the Company's stock price, a significant decline in expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, the disposal of a significant component of a reporting unit and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. The Company initially assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This qualitative assessment considers all relevant factors specific to the reporting units, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and relevant entity-specific events. If the Company determines that it is not more likely that the carrying amount for a reporting unit is less than its fair value, then subsequent quantitative goodwill impairment testing is not required. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount for a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, then it proceeds with a subsequent quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company has the option to bypass the initial qualitative assessment stage and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. If the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, no further procedures are required. However, if a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then an impairment charge is recorded in the amount of the excess. 81 DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS When the Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test for a reporting unit, it estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using both the income approach and the market approach. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow method in which the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for each reporting unit are discounted to present value using a discount rate. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of economic and market conditions, which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The discount rate is based on the specific risk characteristics of each reporting unit, the weighted- average cost of capital and its underlying forecasts. The market approach estimates fair value by applying performance- metric multiples to the reporting unit's prior and expected operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies that have operating and investment characteristics similar to those of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit derived using one approach is significantly different from the fair value estimate using the other approach, the Company reevaluates its assumptions used in the two models. Assumptions are modified as considered appropriate under the circumstances until the two models yield similar and reasonable results. The fair values determined by the market approach and income approach, as described above, are weighted to determine the fair value for each reporting unit. The weighting ascribed to the market approach fair value assigned to each reporting unit is influenced by two primary factors: 1) the number of comparable publicly traded companies used in the market approach, and 2) the similarity of the operating and investment characteristics of the reporting units to the comparable publicly traded companies used in the market approach. If DXC performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test for all of its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill testing, it also compares the sum of all of its reporting units’ fair values to the Company's market capitalization (per-share stock price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) and calculates an implied control premium representing the excess of the sum of the reporting units’ fair values over the market capitalization. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the control premium by comparing it to control premiums derived from recent comparable business combinations. If the implied control premium is not supported by market data, the Company reconciles its fair value estimates of the reporting units to a market capitalization supported by relevant market data. As a result, when DXC’s stock price and thus market capitalization is low relative to the sum of the estimated fair value of its reporting units, this reconciliation can result in reductions to the estimated fair values for the reporting units. Fair Value The Company applies fair value accounting for its financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Such transactions to sell an asset or transfer a liability are assumed to occur in the principal market for that asset or liability, or in the absence of the principal market, the most advantageous market. Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement disclosures are required to be classified according to a three-level fair value hierarchy with respect to the inputs used to determine fair value. The level in which an asset or liability is disclosed within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the related fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels of input are defined as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices unadjusted for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market- corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions which market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. 82 Receivables The Company records receivables at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers, amounts earned but unbilled (including contracts measured under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method of accounting), amounts retained by the customer until the completion of a specified contract, negotiation of contract modification and claims. Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress generally become billable upon the passage of time, the achievement of project milestones, or upon acceptance by the customer. Allowances for uncollectible billed trade receivables are estimated based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis, any known collectability issues, and certain forward-looking information. DXC uses receivables securitization facilities or receivables sales facilities in the normal course of business as part of managing its cash flows. The Company accounts for receivables sold under these facilities as a sale of financial assets pursuant to ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing” and derecognizes these receivables, as well as the related allowances, from its balance sheets. Generally, the fair value of the sold receivables approximates the book value due to the short- term nature and, as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables is recorded. Under the receivables securitization facility, the deferred purchase price (the "DPP") receivable is recorded at fair value, which is determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received based on unobservable inputs consisting of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses. The Company reflects cash flows related to its beneficial interests in securitization transactions, which is the DPP recorded in connection with the Company's Receivables Securitization Facility within investing activities in its statements of cash flows. Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which includes assets under capital leases, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed predominantly on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term. The estimated useful lives of DXC's property and equipment are as follows: Buildings Computers and related equipment Furniture and other equipment Leasehold improvements Up to 40 years 4 to 7 years 3 to 15 years Shorter of lease term or useful life up to 20 years In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment on an ongoing basis. As a result, effective fiscal year 2020, the Company changed its estimate of the useful lives of its computers and related equipment from an average of four to five years to an average of four to seven years, which better reflects the estimated periods during which these assets will remain in service. This change resulted in a $225 million decrease to depreciation expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Intangible Assets The Company's estimated useful lives for finite-lived intangibles are shown in the table below: Software Customer related intangibles 2 to 10 years Expected customer service life Acquired contract related intangibles Contract life and first contract renewal, where applicable Software is amortized using predominately the straight-line method. Acquired contract related and customer related intangible assets are amortized in proportion to the estimated undiscounted cash flows projected over the estimated life of the asset or on a straight-line basis if such cash flows cannot be reliably estimated. 83 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets Long-lived assets such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets or groups of assets is assessed based on a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to the estimated future net cash flows. If estimated future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such assets, an expense is recorded in the amount required to reduce the carrying amount of such assets to fair value. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, comparable market values. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sell. Income Taxes The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the related enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision during the period in which the change occurred. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. Uncertain tax positions are measured based on the probabilities that the uncertain tax position will be realized upon final settlement. All tax-related cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits related to the settlement of share-based awards are classified as cash flows from operating activities and cash paid by directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes is classified as a financing activity in the statements of cash flows. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of time deposits, money market funds and money market deposit accounts with a number of institutions that have high credit ratings. Foreign Currency The local currency of the Company's foreign affiliates is generally their functional currency. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the foreign affiliates are translated from their respective functional currency to U.S. dollars using fiscal year- end exchange rates, income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the fiscal year and equity accounts are translated at historical rates. The resulting translation adjustment is reported in the statements of comprehensive income and recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). 84 Derivative Instruments The Company designates certain derivative instruments as hedges for purposes of hedge accounting, as defined under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” For such derivative instruments, the Company documents its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions, as well as all relationships between hedging and hedged risks. The Company's derivative instruments designated for hedge accounting include interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward and option contracts. Changes in the fair value measurements of these derivative instruments are reflected as adjustments to other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions occurred. Any ineffectiveness or excluded portion of a designated hedge is recognized in earnings. The Company also has entered into certain net investment hedges. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are recorded in the currency translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged item affects earnings. The Company excludes forward points from the effectiveness assessment of its net investment hedges. Changes in fair value of the excluded component are recognized in earnings. The derivative instruments not designated as hedges for purposes of hedge accounting include total return swaps and certain short-term foreign currency forward contracts. These instruments are recorded at their respective fair values and the change in their value is reported in current period earnings. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purpose. The Company reports the effective portion of its cash flow hedges in the same financial statement line item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item. All cash flows associated with the Company's derivative instruments are classified as operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements During fiscal 2021, DXC adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board: Description Impact This update requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses using the current expected credit loss model for financial assets held at amortized cost, which includes the Company’s trade accounts receivable, certain financial instruments and contract assets. It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology. The recorded credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The standard requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. This update helps entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. Entities have the option to apply this standard prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach and recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of April 1, 2020. The Company adopted this standard using the prospective method and determined that the adoption of ASU 2018-15 had no material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements. Date Adopted and Method April 1, 2020 Modified retrospective April 1, 2020 Prospective Date Issued and ASU June 2016 ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” August 2018 ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" 85 New Accounting Pronouncements: The following ASUs were recently issued but have not yet been adopted by DXC: Date Issued and ASU December 2019 DXC Effective Date Fiscal 2022 ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" Description This update is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. Early adoption of this update is permitted. Impact DXC has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2019-12 and determined that the adoption will be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Other recently issued ASUs effective after March 31, 2021 are not expected to have a material effect on DXC's consolidated financial statements. Note 2 - Acquisitions Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions AXA Bank Germany Acquisition On January 1, 2021, DXC completed its acquisition of AXA Bank Germany ("AXA Bank"), a German retail bank, from AXA Group for the total consideration of $101 million. In connection with its acquisition of AXA Bank, DXC received cash of $294 million which includes customer deposit liabilities totaling $197 million. DXC recorded goodwill associated with the acquisition of AXA Bank totaling $2 million. Fiscal 2020 Acquisitions Luxoft Acquisition On June 14, 2019, DXC completed the acquisition of Luxoft, a digital service provider whose offerings encompass strategic consulting, custom software development services, and digital solution engineering for total consideration of $2.0 billion. The acquisition will combine Luxoft’s digital engineering capabilities with DXC’s expertise in IT modernization and integration. The purchase agreement (“Merger Agreement”) was entered into by DXC and Luxoft on January 6, 2019 and the transaction was closed on June 14, 2019. The transaction between DXC and Luxoft is an acquisition, with DXC as the acquirer and Luxoft as the acquiree, based on the fact that DXC acquired 100% of the equity interests and voting rights in Luxoft, and that DXC is the entity that transferred the cash consideration. 86 The Company's allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Luxoft acquisition date is as follows: (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable Other current assets Total current assets Property and equipment Intangible assets Other assets Total assets acquired Accounts payable, accrued payroll, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities Deferred revenue Long-term deferred tax liabilities and income tax payable Other liabilities Total liabilities assumed Net identifiable assets acquired Goodwill Total consideration transferred Fair Value 113 233 15 361 31 577 99 1,068 (121) (8) (106) (72) (307) 761 1,262 2,023 $ $ Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized with the acquisition was attributable to the synergies expected to be achieved by combining the businesses of DXC and Luxoft, expected future contracts and the acquired workforce. The cost-saving opportunities are expected to include improved operating efficiencies and asset optimization. The total goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to GBS and is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company valued current assets and liabilities using existing carrying values as an estimate of the approximate fair value of those items at the acquisition date except for certain contract receivables for which the Company determined fair value based on a cost plus margin approach. The Company valued acquired property and equipment using predominately the direct capitalization method of the income approach and in certain specific cases, the Company determined that the net book value represents the fair value. The Company valued customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach and valued trade names and developed technology using a relief from royalty method under the income approach. The Company determined that the net book value of the purchased software represents the fair value. Below are the estimated useful lives of the acquired intangibles: Customer related intangibles Trade names Developed technology Third-party purchased software Estimated Useful Lives (Years) 10 20 3 3 The Company valued deferred tax liabilities based on statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions of the legal entities where the acquired non-current assets and liabilities are taxed. 87 Results of Operations The Company's statement of operations includes the following revenues and net income attributable to Luxoft since the acquisition date: (in millions) Revenues Net income (loss) Twelve Months Ended March 31, 2020(1) $ $ 695 (25) (1) Results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 reflect operations subsequent to the acquisition date of June 14, 2019, not the full twelve months of fiscal 2020. Fiscal 2019 Acquisitions Molina Medicaid Solutions Acquisition(1) On October 1, 2018, DXC completed its acquisition of Molina Medicaid Solutions ("MMS"), a Medicaid Management Information Systems business, from Molina Healthcare, Inc. for the total consideration of $233 million. The combination of MMS with DXC expands DXC’s ability to provide services to state agencies in the administration of Medicaid programs, including business processing, information technology development, and administrative services. The purchase price for the MMS was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the current determination of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows: $87 million to current assets, $112 million to intangible assets other than goodwill, $11 million to other assets, $51 million to current liabilities, $18 million to other liabilities and $92 million to goodwill. The goodwill is associated with the Company's GBS segment and is tax deductible. The intangible assets acquired include customer relationships and developed technology which have a 13-year weighted average estimated useful life. (1) MMS was sold as part of the HHS Sale discussed in Note 3 - "Divestitures." Other Acquisitions In addition to the MMS acquisition, DXC completed seven acquisitions to complement the Company's Microsoft Dynamics and ServiceNow offerings and to provide opportunities for future growth. The acquired businesses are included in the results for the GBS segment. The purchase consideration of $228 million included cash of $187 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $41 million. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon determination of fair values at the dates of acquisition as follows: $73 million to current assets, $71 million to intangible assets other than goodwill, $10 million to other non-current assets, $63 million to current liabilities and $137 million to goodwill. The goodwill is associated with the Company's GBS segment some of which is tax deductible. 88 Note 3 - Divestitures Fiscal 2021 Divestitures HHS Sale On October 1, 2020, DXC completed the sale of its HHS Business to Veritas Capital. The sale was accomplished by the cash purchase of all equity interests and assets attributable to the HHS Business for a total enterprise value of $5.0 billion (including $85 million related to future services to be provided by the Company). As part of the sale of the HHS business, $272 million of repurchased receivables, previously sold under the Milano Receivables Facility ("Milano Facility') (see Note 6 - "Receivables" to the financial statements), $12 million of prepaid maintenance, and $48 million of software licenses were transferred to the HHS Business. DXC made payment for these assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The repurchase of receivables and payment on prepaid maintenance are reported as operating cash outflows, and the payment for software license is considered an investing cash outflow. The HHS Sale resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $2,014 million, net of closing costs. The sale price is subject to adjustment based on changes in actual closing net working capital. Final potential working capital adjustments are pending. Approximately $3.5 billion of the sale proceeds were used to prepay $1,250 million of Revolver Credit Facility, £600 million of GBP commercial paper (approximately $772 million), and the following term loan facilities: €350 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2024 (approximately $410 million), $381 million of USD Term loan due fiscal 2025, A$500 million of AUD Term Loan due fiscal 2022 (approximately $358 million), and €250 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2022 and 2023 (approximately $292 million). See Note 14 - "Debt" to the financial statements. DXC's post-divestiture relationship with the HHS Business is governed by the Purchase Agreement, which provides for the allocation of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including property, employee benefits, litigation, and tax- related assets and liabilities) between DXC and the HHS Business attributable to periods prior to, at and after the divestment. In addition, DXC and the HHS Business have service and commercial contracts that generally extend through fiscal 2023. The divestment of the HHS Business, reported as part of the GBS segment, did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations as it did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on DXC's operations and financial results and was included in income from continuing operations prior to its divestment. 89 The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities distributed as part of the HHS Sale on October 1, 2020: (in millions) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable, net Prepaid expenses Other current assets Total current assets Intangible assets, net Operating right-of-use assets, net Goodwill Property and equipment, net Other assets Total non-current assets Total assets Liabilities: Accounts payable Accrued payroll and related costs Current operating lease liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities Deferred revenue and advance contract payments Total current liabilities Non-current deferred revenue Long-term operating lease liabilities Other long term liabilities Total long-term liabilities Total liabilities As of October 1, 2020 $ $ $ $ 8 295 39 2 344 1,308 74 1,354 46 54 2,836 3,180 79 13 27 36 20 175 32 48 2 82 257 During fiscal 2021, the Company sold some insignificant businesses that resulted in a loss of $10 million. Fiscal 2019 Divestitures Separation of USPS During fiscal 2019, the Company completed the separation of its U.S. Public Sector business ("USPS") (the "Separation"), and combination of USPS with Vencore Holding Corp. ("Vencore") and KeyPoint Government Solutions ("Keypoint") (the "Mergers") to form Perspecta, an independent public company. 90 Implementation of the Separation and DXC's post-Separation relationship with Perspecta is governed by several agreements, including the following: • • • • • • • • a Separation and Distribution Agreement; an Employee Matters Agreement; a Tax Matters Agreement; an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement; a Transition Services Agreement; a Real Estate Matters Agreement; an IT Services Agreement and, a Non-US Agency Agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including property, employee benefits, litigation, and tax-related assets and liabilities) between DXC and Perspecta attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. In addition, DXC and Perspecta have service and commercial contracts that generally extend through fiscal 2023. Results for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 include $31 million and $39 million of revenue and income from continuing operations before taxes associated with the IT services agreement. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, immediately prior to the Separation, Perspecta made a net cash payment of $984 million to DXC, which reflects transaction consideration of $1,050 million less $66 million in principal amount of debt that was outstanding at a subsidiary of Perspecta. Perspecta financed the payment through borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility. 91 The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities distributed as part of the Separation of USPS on May 31, 2018: (in millions) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Receivables, net Prepaid expenses Other current assets Total current assets of discontinued operations Intangible assets, net(1) Goodwill Property and equipment, net Other assets(1) Total non-current assets of discontinued operations Total assets Liabilities: Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt Accounts payable Accrued payroll and related costs Accrued expenses and other current liabilities Deferred revenue and advance contract payments Income tax payable Total current liabilities of discontinued operations Long-term debt, net of current maturities Non-current deferred revenue Non-current income tax liabilities and deferred tax liabilities Other long-term liabilities Total long-term liabilities of discontinued operations Total liabilities As of May 31, 2018 95 458 82 35 670 870 2,029 294 169 3,362 4,032 161 165 17 358 53 18 772 1,320 5 196 71 1,592 2,364 $ $ $ $ (1) Previously reported amounts were adjusted to reflect the reclassification of transition and transformation contract costs from intangible assets to other assets to conform to the current year presentation. 92 The following is a summary of the operating results of USPS which have been reflected within income from discontinued operations, net of tax: (in millions) Revenue Costs of services Selling, general and administrative Depreciation and amortization Restructuring costs Interest expense Other (income) expense, net Total costs and expenses Total income from discontinued operations, before income taxes Income tax expense Total income from discontinued operations Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019 (1) $ $ 431 311 50 33 1 8 (25) 378 53 18 35 (1) Results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 reflect operations through the Separation date of May 31, 2018, not the full twelve-month period as shown for the prior period.

Note 4 - Assets Held for Sale On July 17, 2020, DXC entered into a purchase agreement to sell (the "HPS Sale") its healthcare software business ("HPS" or the "HPS Business") to Dedalus Holding S.p.A. ("Dedalus") for €462 million (approximately $543 million), which includes €10 million (approximately $12 million) related to future services to be provided by the Company. Final consideration for the HPS Sale is subject to certain adjustments. The transaction closed on April 1, 2021. See Note 24 - "Subsequent Events." As of March 31, 2021, the disposition of the HPS Business, reported as part of the GBS segment, met the requirements for presentation as assets held for sale under GAAP. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreements to sell insignificant businesses, which were also classified as held for sale. 93 Assets held for sale are reported at carrying value, which is less than fair value.

Under the Receivables Facility, certain of the Company subsidiaries (the "Sellers") sell accounts receivable to DXC Receivables LLC ("Receivables SPV"), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote entity, in a true sale. Receivables SPV subsequently sells certain of the receivables in their entirety to the Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. The financial obligations of Receivables SPV to the Purchasers under the Receivables Facility are limited to the assets it owns and non-recourse to the Company. Sales of receivables by Receivables SPV occur continuously and are settled on a monthly basis. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, Receivables SPV amended the Receivables Facility (the "Amendment") to decrease the investment limit from $600 million to $500 million and extend the termination date to August 5, 2021. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, there is no deferred purchase price ("DPP") for receivables as the entire purchase price is paid in cash when the receivables are sold to the Purchasers. DPPs were previously realized by Receivables SPV upon the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables sold to the Purchasers. Cash receipts on the DPP were classified as cash flows from investing activities. The amount available under the Receivables Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after deducting excess concentrations. As of March 31, 2021, the total availability under the Receivables Facility was $350 million and the amount sold to the Purchasers was $390 million, which was derecognized from the Company's balance sheet. As of March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $40 million liability within accounts payable because the amount of cash proceeds received by the Company under the Receivables Facility was more than the total availability. The Receivables Facility is scheduled to terminate on August 5, 2021, but provides for one or more optional one-year extensions, if agreed to by the Purchasers. The Company uses the proceeds from Receivables SPV's sale of receivables under the Receivables Facility for general corporate purposes. 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. 96 While the Company guarantees certain non-financial performance obligations of the Sellers, the Purchasers bear customer credit risk associated with the receivables sold under the Receivables Facility and have recourse in the event of credit-related customer non-payment solely to the assets of the Receivables SPV.

For more information, refer to Note 3 - "Divestitures." German Receivables Facility On October 1, 2019, DXC executed an accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of March 31, 2021, the "DE Receivables Facility") with certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the "DE Purchasers") for the sale of commercial accounts receivable in Germany. The DE Receivables Facility has an investment limit of €150 million (approximately $175 million as of March 31, 2021). Under the DE Receivables Facility, certain of the Company's subsidiaries organized in Germany (the "DE Sellers") sell accounts receivable to DXC ARFacility Designated Activity Company ("DE Receivables SPV"), a trust owned bankruptcy-remote entity, in a true sale. DE Receivables SPV subsequently sells certain of the receivables in their entirety to the DE Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. Sales of receivables by DE Receivables SPV occur continuously and are settled on a monthly basis. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, DE Receivables SPV amended the DE Receivables Facility ("DE Amendment"). Under the terms of the amended DE Receivables Facility, there is no longer any DPP for receivables as the entire purchase price is paid in cash when the receivables are sold to the DE Purchasers. Prior to the DE Amendment, DPPs were realized by DE Receivables SPV upon the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables sold to the DE Purchasers. Cash receipts on the DPPs were classified as cash flows from investing activities. The DPP balance was $102 million before the DE Amendment was executed. Upon execution of the DE Amendment, the DE Purchasers extinguished the DPP balance and returned title to the applicable underlying receivables to DE Receivables SPV. The DPP extinguishment was classified as a non-cash investing activity, please refer to Note 18 - "Cash Flows." The amount available under the DE Receivables Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after deducting excess concentrations. As of March 31, 2021, the total availability under the DE Receivables Facility was approximately $117 million, and the amount sold to DE Purchasers was $114 million, which was derecognized from the Company's balance sheet. As of March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $3 million receivable within accounts receivable because the amount of cash proceeds received by the Company under the DE Receivables Facility was less than the total availability. The DE Receivables Facility is scheduled to terminate on September 30, 2021, but provides for one or more optional one-year extensions, if agreed to by the DE Purchasers. The Company uses the proceeds from DE Receivables SPV's sale of receivables under the DE Receivables Facility for general corporate purposes. 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. 97 Certain obligations of DE Sellers under the DE Receivables Facility and certain DXC subsidiaries located in Germany, as initial servicers, are guaranteed by the Company under a performance guaranty, made in favor of an administrative agent on behalf of the DE Purchasers. However, the performance guaranty does not cover DE Receivables SPV’s obligations to pay yield, fees or invested amounts to the administrative agent or any of the DE Purchasers.

See Note 15 - "Pension and Other Benefit Plans" and Note 9 - "Derivative Instruments" for information about these excluded assets and liabilities. There were no transfers between any of the levels during the periods presented.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, previously held investments were sold and the proceeds were used to purchase new investments. The gain of $17 million from the sale was included in other expense (income), net. 102 The fair value of money market funds, money market deposit accounts with less than three months maturity, and time deposits included in cash and cash equivalents are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of other securities included in other long-term assets is based on actual market prices. The fair value of the DPPs included in receivables, net is determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received and is principally based on unobservable inputs consisting primarily of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses. The fair value of contingent consideration included in other liabilities is based on contractually defined targets of financial performance in connection with earn-outs and other considerations. Other Fair Value Disclosures The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with short-term maturities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt, and financial liabilities included in other accrued liabilities approximate their market values due to their short-term nature. If measured at fair value, these financial instruments would be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily by using quoted prices obtained from third-party providers such as Bloomberg and by using an expected present value technique based on observable market inputs for instruments with similar terms currently available to the Company. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt excluding finance lease liabilities was $4.7 billion and $8.2 billion as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively as compared with the carrying value of $4.4 billion and $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. If measured at fair value, long-term debt excluding finance lease liabilities would be classified as Level 1 or Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Non-financial assets such as goodwill, tangible assets, intangible assets, and other contract related long-lived assets are recorded at fair value in the period they are initially recognized; and such fair value may be adjusted in subsequent periods if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the asset may be impaired. The fair value measurements in such instances would be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Other than the goodwill impairment losses discussed in Note 12 - "Goodwill," there were no significant impairments recorded during the fiscal periods covered by this report. Note 9 - 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 purpose. 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 Indian Rupee, Euro and British Pound-denominated intercompany obligations and forecasted transactions. The notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was $546 million and $455 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the related forecasted transactions extend through March 2023. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company performed an assessment at the inception of the cash flow hedge transactions and determined all critical terms of the hedging instruments and hedged items matched. The Company performs an assessment of critical terms on an on-going basis throughout the hedging period. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company had no cash flow hedges for which it was probable that the hedged transaction would not occur. As of March 31, 2021, $3 million of the existing amount of gain related to the cash flow hedge reported in AOCI is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. 103 Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations The pre-tax gain (loss) on derivatives designated for hedge accounting recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) was $19 million and in income (loss) from continuing operations was $(5) million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. 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 foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, including intercompany accounts and forecasted transactions. The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. The following table presents the pretax amounts impacting income related to designated and non-designated foreign currency forward contracts: (in millions) Statement of Operations Line Item March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Foreign currency forward contracts Other expense (income), net $ 51 $ (37) $ 16 Fiscal Years Ended Fair Value of Derivative Instruments All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value. The Company’s accounting treatment for these derivative instruments is based on its hedge designation.

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 March 31, 2021, there were five counterparties with concentration of credit risk, and based on gross fair value, the maximum amount of loss that the Company could incur is not material. 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. 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 March 31, 2021, DXC had $0.8 billion of foreign currency-denominated debt designated as hedges of net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the pre-tax impact of gain (loss) on foreign currency-denominated debt designated for hedge accounting recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) was $(93) million. As of March 31, 2020, DXC had $1.9 billion of foreign currency-denominated debt designated as hedges of net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. 105 Note 10 - Property and Equipment Property and equipment consisted of the following: (in millions) Property and equipment — gross: Land, buildings and leasehold improvements Computers and related equipment Furniture and other equipment Construction in progress Less: accumulated depreciation Property and equipment, net As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ 2,228 $ 4,596 227 16 7,067 4,121 $ 2,946 $ 2,233 4,876 226 30 7,365 3,818 3,547 Depreciation expense for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $754 million, $643 million and $820 million, respectively. 106 Note 11 - Intangible Assets Intangible assets consisted of the following: (in millions) Software Customer related intangible assets Other intangible assets Total intangible assets (in millions) Software Customer related intangible assets Other intangible assets Total intangible assets Gross Carrying Value As of March 31, 2021 Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value $ $ 4,014 4,212 239 8,465 $ $ 2,733 1,641 48 4,422 $ $ 1,281 2,571 191 4,043 Gross Carrying Value As of March 31, 2020 Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value $ $ 4,048 5,795 235 10,078 $ $ 2,614 1,697 36 4,347 $ $ 1,434 4,098 199 5,731 Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2020 1,019 280 1,299 $ $ March 31, 2019 890 258 1,148 $ $ (in millions) 837 755 669 554 505 $ $ $ $ $ The components of amortization expense were as follows: (in millions) Intangible asset amortization Transition and transformation contract cost amortization(1) Total amortization expense March 31, 2021 952 264 1,216 $ $ (1) Transition and transformation contract costs are included within other assets on the balance sheet.

The foreign currency translation amount reflects the impact of currency movements on non-U.S. dollar-denominated goodwill balances. Goodwill Impairment Analyses Fiscal 2021 The Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis, which was performed qualitatively as of July 1, 2020, did not result in an impairment charge. At the end of the fiscal 2021, 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 March 31, 2021. 108 Fiscal 2020 The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of July 1, 2019. Subsequent to the measurement date, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price and market capitalization that represented an indicator of impairment as the observed declines were substantial and sustained. As a result, the Company performed quantitative goodwill impairment tests during the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2020. Both quantitative goodwill impairment tests were performed for all of DXC's reporting units, consistent with its policy described in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” As part of the reconciliation to the Company’s market capitalization, the Company concluded on both instances that the carrying values of its reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values and recognized total non-cash impairment charges of $6,794 million, consisting of $3,789 million and $3,005 million in its GBS and GIS segments, respectively. The goodwill impairment charges do not have an impact on the calculation of the Company's financial covenants under the Company's debt arrangements. Fiscal 2019 The Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis, which was performed as of July 1, 2018, did not result in an impairment charge. At the end of fiscal 2019, 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 March 31, 2019. 109 Note 13 - Income Taxes The sources of income (loss) from continuing operations, before income taxes, classified between domestic entities and those entities domiciled outside of the United States, are as follows: (in millions) Domestic entities Entities outside the United States Total Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 $ $ 975 $ (321) 654 $ (2,928) $ (2,300) (5,228) $ 511 1,004 1,515 The income tax expense (benefit) on income (loss) from continuing operations is comprised of: (in millions) Current: Federal State Foreign Deferred: Federal State Foreign Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 $ 730 257 216 1,203 (221) (51) (131) (403) $ 3 $ 16 167 186 (125) 17 52 (56) (50) 42 218 210 95 23 (40) 78 288 Total income tax expense $ 800 $ 130 $ The current federal (benefit) and tax expense for fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 includes a $(4) million transition tax benefit, $(31) million transition tax benefit and $(44) million transition tax benefit, respectively. The current expense for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, includes interest and penalties of $2 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions. In connection with the HPES Merger, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with HPE. HPE generally will be responsible for pre-HPES Merger tax liabilities including adjustments made by tax authorities to HPES U.S. and non-U.S. income tax returns. Likewise, DXC is liable to HPE for income tax receivables and refunds which it receives related to pre- HPES Merger periods. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company recorded a $34 million tax indemnification receivable related to uncertain tax positions, $70 million of tax indemnification receivable related to other tax payables and $118 million of tax indemnification payable related to other tax receivables. In connection with the USPS Separation, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with Perspecta. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company generally will be responsible for tax liabilities arising prior to the USPS Separation. 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 and refunds which it receives from Perspecta related to pre-HPES Merger periods that were transferred to Perspecta. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company has recorded a tax indemnification receivable from Perspecta of $72 million and a tax indemnification payable to Perspecta of $33 million related to income tax and other tax liabilities. 110 The major elements contributing to the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate ("ETR") for continuing operations is below.

The HHS tax gain increased tax expense and the ETR as the tax basis of assets sold, primarily goodwill, was lower than the book basis. Continued losses in countries where we are recording a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Belgium, Denmark, Italy, France, Luxembourg, and U.S., and an impairment of the full German deferred tax asset, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $1,565 million and 239.3%, respectively. An increase in Income Tax and Foreign Tax Credits, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $319 million and 48.7%, respectively. Local losses on investments in Luxembourg that increased the foreign rate differential and decreased the ETR by $1,226 million and 187.5%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company recognized adjustments to uncertain tax positions that increased the overall income tax expense and the ETR by $112 million and 17.2% respectively. 111 In fiscal 2020, the ETR was primarily impacted by: • • • • • Non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, which increased tax expense and increased the ETR by $1,482 million and 28.3%, respectively. Non-taxable gain on the arbitration award, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $186 million and 3.6%, respectively. A change in the net valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Australia, Brazil, China, Luxembourg, and Singapore, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $631 million and 12.1%, respectively. An increase in Income Tax and Foreign Tax Credits, primarily relating to research and development credits recognized for prior years, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $135 million and 2.6%, respectively. Local losses on investments in Luxembourg that increased the foreign rate differential and decreased the ETR by $637 million and 12.2%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount. In fiscal 2019, the ETR was primarily impacted by: • • • Local tax losses on investments in Luxembourg that decreased the foreign tax rate differential and decreased the ETR by $360 million and 23.7%, respectively, with an offsetting increase in the ETR due to an increase in the valuation allowance of the same amount. A change in the net valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, primarily in Luxembourg, Germany, Spain, U.K., and Switzerland, which increased income tax expense and increased the ETR by $256 million and 16.9%, respectively. A decrease in the transition tax liability and a change in tax accounting method for deferred revenue, which decreased income tax expense and decreased the ETR by $66 million and 4.3%, respectively. 112 The deferred tax assets (liabilities) were as follows: (in millions) Deferred tax assets Investment basis differences Tax loss/credit carryforwards Accrued interest Operating lease liabilities Contract accounting Other assets Total deferred tax assets Valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities Depreciation and amortization Operating right-of-use asset Investment basis differences Employee benefits Other liabilities Total deferred tax liabilities As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ 32 $ 4,039 20 359 92 351 4,893 (3,860) 1,033 (513) (339) — (6) (246) (1,104) — 2,516 12 370 126 144 3,168 (2,162) 1,006 (850) (343) (68) (48) (150) (1,459) Total net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ (71) $ (453) Income tax related assets are included in the accompanying balance sheets as follows: (in millions) Current: Income tax receivables and prepaid taxes Non-current: Income taxes receivable and prepaid taxes Deferred tax assets Total As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ $ $ $ 67 67 136 289 425 $ $ $ $ 492 $ 58 58 180 265 445 503 113 Income tax related liabilities are included in the accompanying balance sheet as follows: (in millions) Current: Liability for uncertain tax positions Income taxes payable Non-current: Deferred taxes Income taxes payable Liability for uncertain tax positions Total As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ $ $ (30) $ (368) (398) $ (360) (130) (364) (12) (75) (87) (718) (168) (271) (854) $ (1,157) (1,252) $ (1,244) Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. As of each reporting date, management weighs new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of its net deferred tax assets. Objective verifiable evidence, which is historical in nature, carries more weight than subjective evidence, which is forward looking in nature. A valuation allowance has been recorded against deferred tax assets of approximately $3.9 billion as of March 31, 2021 due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize these assets. In assessing whether its deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized and adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. As of March 31, 2021, our net deferred tax assets in certain German entities were primarily the result of net operating loss carryforwards, pension deductions, assumed debt obligations and other miscellaneous accruals. In the current reporting period, the Company has determined that the negative evidence, including an unadjusted cumulative loss, on-going employee restructuring expenses for termination benefits and projected FY22 losses outweighed the positive evidence of potential steady state profitability when removing one-time non-recurring charges. Therefore, the Company has had a change in judgement and concluded that the deferred tax assets in certain DXC German entities are no longer realizable and has recorded a valuation allowance of $175 million. The net increase in the valuation allowance of $1,698 million in fiscal 2021, is primarily due to the local losses in Luxembourg, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, France, Germany and U.S. of $1,565 million, balance sheet movement of $4 million, and an adjustment for currency translation of $129 million. 114 The following table provides information on the Company's various tax carryforwards: As of March 31, 2021 As of March 31, 2020 With No Expiration With Expiration Expiration Dates Through Total With No Expiration With Expiration Expiration Dates Through (in millions) Total Net operating loss carryforwards Federal State Foreign Tax credit carryforwards Federal State Foreign Capital loss carryforwards Federal State Foreign $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 132 369 16,700 $ $ $ 128 6 6,191 $ $ $ 4 363 10,509 5 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 45 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 45 $ 5 — — — — — 2033 2041 2041 2040 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 15 673 10,512 9 16 16 $ $ $ $ $ $ — $ — $ 59 $ 3 6 6,471 $ $ $ 12 667 4,041 — $ 7 $ — $ — $ — $ 40 $ 9 9 16 — — 19 2033 2040 2040 2040 2039 2020 N/A N/A 2023 With the following exceptions, the majority of our global unremitted foreign earnings have been taxed or would be exempt from tax upon repatriation, except for the following earnings which are considered indefinitely reinvested: approximately $522 million that could be taxable when repatriated to the U.S. under section 1.245A-5(b) of the final Treasury regulations issued during fiscal 2021; and 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. As a result of the confluence of multiple events occurring during fiscal 2021, including but not limited to a corporate initiative to paydown debt and a recent change in India tax laws governing distributions, the Company distributed approximately $550 million from its accumulated earnings in India. Although the distribution was subject to India withholding taxes under the new India tax rules, the withholding taxes are creditable against U.S. federal income tax, resulting in minimal to no net income tax impact. The distribution was not 100% of the cumulative earnings of its Indian subsidiaries, and the Company considers the undistributed accumulated earnings in India indefinitely reinvested. The Company accounts for income tax uncertainties in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. ASC 740 also provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, interest and penalties. 115 In accordance with ASC 740, the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions was as follows: (in millions) Tax Interest Penalties Offset to receivable Net of tax attributes Total Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ 354 $ 46 22 (18) (10) 394 $ 253 45 21 (24) (12) 283 The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s uncertain tax positions (excluding interest and penalties and related tax attributes): (in millions) March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Fiscal Years Ended Balance at beginning of fiscal year $ 253 $ 165 $ Gross increases related to prior year tax positions Gross decreases related to prior year tax positions Gross increases related to current year tax positions Settlements and statute of limitation expirations Acquisitions Foreign exchange and others Balance at end of fiscal year 60 (30) 102 (36) 6 (1) 74 (9) 15 (7) 18 (3) $ 354 $ 253 $ 219 4 (27) — (23) — (8) 165 The Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, includes $316 million, $210 million and $138 million, respectively, related to amounts that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate (excluding related interest and penalties). The increase relating to the tax positions primarily relate to the Company's increase in foreign tax credits and transfer pricing. 116 The Company recognizes interest accrued related to uncertain tax positions and penalties as a component of income tax expense. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a net increase in interest of $1 million ($(1) million net of tax) and a net increase in accrued expense for penalties of $1 million and as of March 31, 2021, recognized a liability for interest of $46 million ($39 million net of tax) and penalties of $22 million. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had a net increase in interest expense of $5 million ($3 million net of tax) and a net decrease in accrued expense for penalties of $3 million and, as of March 31, 2020, recognized a liability for interest of $45 million ($40 million net of tax) and penalties of $21 million. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had a net increase in interest expense of $2 million ($1 million net of tax) and a net decrease in accrued expense for penalties of $1 million and, as of March 31, 2019, recognized a liability for interest of $41 million ($36 million net of tax) and penalties of $25 million. The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions. A summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in certain of the Company’s major tax jurisdictions are: Jurisdiction: United States – Federal United States – Various States Australia Canada France Germany India U. K. Tax Examinations Tax Years that Remain Subject to Examination (Fiscal Year Ending): 2008 and forward 2008 and forward 2012 and forward 2006 and forward 2016 and forward 2010 and forward 2001 and forward 2018 and forward The IRS is examining the Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal 2008 through the tax year ended October 31, 2018. With respect to CSC's fiscal 2008 through 2017 federal tax returns, the Company has entered into negotiations for a resolution through settlement with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for this audit that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have an agreement in principle as to some of these 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 intend to challenge them in the IRS Office of Appeals or Tax Court, these matters are not fully reserved and would result in a federal and state tax expense of $405 million (including estimated interest and penalties) and related cash cost for the unreserved portion of the these items if we do not prevail in Tax Court. We do not expect these matters that proceed to tax court to be resolved in the next 12 months. We have received a notice of deficiency with respect to fiscal 2011 and 2013, and have filed a petition in Tax Court with respect to fiscal 2013 and expect to file in Tax Court with respect to fiscal 2011 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. We also expect fiscal 2010 to proceed to Tax Court. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2008 through 2012 through August 31, 2021 to provide for IRS completion of their review. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2014 through fiscal 2017 through October 31,2021 to provide for IRS completion of their review. The Company expects to reach a resolution for all years no earlier than the first quarter of fiscal 2023 except for agreed issues related to fiscal 2008 through 2010 and fiscal 2011 through 2017 federal tax returns, which are expected to be resolved within twelve months. 117 In addition, the Company may settle certain other tax examinations, have lapses in statutes of limitations, or voluntarily settle income tax positions in negotiated settlements for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. The Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts for tax positions that previously met a more likely than not standard if such positions are not upheld. Conversely, the Company could settle positions with the tax authorities for amounts lower than those that have been accrued or extinguish a position though less payment than previously estimated. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months may result in a reduction in liability for uncertain tax positions of $52 million, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carryforwards.

(2) At DXC’s option, the EUR term loan bears interest at the Eurocurrency Rate for a one-, two-, three-, or six-month interest period, plus a margin between 0.55% and 1.05%, based on published credit ratings of DXC. 118 Senior Notes and Term Loans During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company issued two senior notes with an aggregate principal of $1.0 billion consisting of (i) $500 million of 4.00% Senior Notes due fiscal 2024 and (ii) $500 million of 4.13% Senior Notes due fiscal 2026. The proceeds from these notes were applied towards the early prepayment of DXC's term loan facilities including prepayment of €500 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2023, £150 million of GBP Term Loan due fiscal 2022, A$300 million of AUD Term Loan due fiscal 2022, and $100 million of USD Term Loan due fiscal 2025. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company repaid the remaining £300 million GBP Term Loan due fiscal 2022. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of HHS Business to prepay approximately $1,441 million of term loan facilities detailed below under the heading "HHS Sale Use of Proceeds." Interest on the Company's remaining term loan is payable monthly at DXC's election. The Company fully and unconditionally guarantees term loans issued by its 100% owned subsidiaries. The interest on the Company's senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears except for interest on the £250 million Senior Notes due fiscal 2025 and the €650 million Senior Notes due fiscal 2026, which are payable annually in arrears. Generally, the Company's notes are redeemable at the Company's discretion at the then-applicable redemption premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company repaid the $500 million of 4.00% Senior Notes due fiscal 2024 that was issued during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Tender Offers On March 16, 2021, the Company announced the commencement of an offer (the "tender offers") to purchase for cash any and all of the Company's outstanding 4.45% Senior Notes due fiscal 2023 (the "DXC Notes") and any and all of the outstanding 4.45% Senior Notes due fiscal 2023 (the "CSC Notes) issued by its wholly owned subsidiary, Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC"). On March 25, 2021, the Company settled the principal amount tendered of $121 million of the DXC Notes and $6 million of the CSC Notes. Refer to Form 8-K dated March 16, 2021 and March 23, 2021 for more information. Revolving Credit Facility During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company borrowed the remaining $2.5 billion under the $4.0 billion credit facility agreement ("Credit Agreement") as a precautionary measure to increase its cash position and increase financial flexibility in light of continuing uncertainty in the global economy and financial capital markets resulting from COVID-19. The Company repaid the full $4.0 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, which became available under the revolving credit facility for redraw at the request of the Company. HHS Sale Use of Proceeds In October 2020, DXC sold the HHS business and used approximately $3.5 billion of the proceeds to prepay $1,250 million of Revolver Credit Facility, £600 million of GBP commercial paper (approximately $772 million), and the following term loan facilities: €350 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2024 (approximately $410 million), $381 million of USD Term loan due fiscal 2025, A$500 million of AUD Term Loan due fiscal 2022 (approximately $358 million), and €250 million of Euro Term Loan due fiscal 2022 and 2023 (approximately $292 million). 119 Future Maturities of Long-term Debt Expected maturities of long-term debt, including borrowings for asset financing but excluding minimum capital lease payments, for fiscal years subsequent to March 31, 2021, are as follows: Fiscal Year 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total (in millions) 555 304 615 898 1,278 756 4,406 $ $ 120 Note 15 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans The Company offers a number of pension and OPEB plans, life insurance benefits, deferred compensation and defined contribution plans. Most of the Company's pension plans are not admitting new participants; therefore, changes to pension liabilities are primarily due to market fluctuations of investments for existing participants and changes in interest rates. Defined Benefit Plans The Company sponsors a number of defined benefit and post-retirement medical benefit plans for the benefit of eligible employees. The benefit obligations of the Company's U.S. pension, U.S. OPEB, and non-U.S. OPEB plans represent an insignificant portion of the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. As a result, the disclosures below include the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on a global consolidated basis. Eligible employees are enrolled in defined benefit pension plans in their country of domicile. The Contributory defined benefit pension plan in the U.K. represents the largest plan. In addition, healthcare, dental and life insurance benefits are also provided to certain non-U.S. employees. A significant number of employees outside the United States are covered by government sponsored programs at no direct cost to the Company other than related payroll taxes. The Company accrued $13 million, $10 million and $3 million, for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as additional contractual termination benefits for certain employees are part of the Company's restructuring plans. These amounts are reflected in the projected benefit obligation and in the net periodic pension cost. The change in projected benefit obligation for fiscal year 2021 is primarily related to actuarial losses and foreign currency exchange rate changes. Actuarial losses were primarily due to a decrease in discount rates and an increase in inflation rates across most plans, with partially offsetting impact of actuarial gains from a mortality update and lower than expected benefit indexation in the United Kingdom.

Equity assets in commingled funds reporting a net asset value are categorized as Level 2 and valued using broker dealer bids or quotes of securities with similar characteristics. 125 Fixed income accounts are categorized as Level 1 if traded on a publicly quoted exchange or as level 2 if investments in corporate bonds are primarily investment grade bonds, generally priced using model-based pricing methods that use observable market data as inputs. Broker dealer bids or quotes of securities with similar characteristics may also be used. Alternative investment fund securities are categorized as Level 1 if held in a mutual fund or in a separate account structure and actively traded through a recognized exchange, or as Level 2 if they are held in commingled or collective account structures and are actively traded. Alternative investment fund securities are classified as Level 3 if they are held in Limited Company or Limited Partnership structures or cannot otherwise be classified as Level 1 or Level 2. Other assets represent property holdings by certain pension plans. As above, the property holdings represent a master lease arrangement entered into by DXC in the U.K. and certain U.K. pension plans as a financing transaction. Insurance contracts purchased to cover benefits payable to retirees are valued using the assumptions used to value the projected benefit obligation. Cash equivalents that have quoted prices in active markets are classified as Level 1. Short-term money market commingled funds are categorized as Level 2 and valued at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value.

For the U.K. pension plans, the Company's largest pension plans by assets and projected liabilities, a target allocation by asset class was developed to achieve their long-term objectives. Asset allocations are monitored closely and investment reviews regarding asset strategy are conducted regularly with internal and external advisors. The Company’s investment goals and risk management strategy for plan assets evaluates a number of factors, including the time horizon of the plans’ obligations. Plan assets are invested in various asset classes that are expected to produce a sufficient level of diversification in order to reduce risk, yet produces a reasonable amount of return on investment over the long term. Sufficient liquidity is maintained to meet benefit obligations as they become due. Third party investment managers are employed to invest assets in both passively-indexed and actively-managed strategies. Equities are primarily invested broadly in domestic and foreign companies across market capitalizations and industries. Fixed income securities are invested broadly, primarily in government treasury, corporate credit, mortgage backed and asset backed investments. Alternative investment allocations are included in selected plans to achieve greater portfolio diversity intended to reduce the overall volatility risk of the plans. Plan asset risks include longevity, inflation, and other changes in market conditions that could reduce the value of plan assets. Also, a decline in the yield of high quality corporate bonds may adversely affect discount rates resulting in an increase in DXC's pension and other post-retirement obligations. These risks, among others, could cause the plans’ funded status to deteriorate, resulting in an increased reliance on Company contributions. Derivatives are permitted although their current use is limited within traditional funds and broadly allowed within alternative funds. Derivatives are used for inflation risk management and within the liability driven investing strategy. The Company also has investments in insurance contracts to pay plan benefits in certain countries. 126 Return on Assets The Company consults with internal and external advisors regarding the expected long-term rate of return on assets. The Company uses various sources in its approach to compute the expected long-term rate of return of the major asset classes expected in each of the plans. DXC utilizes long-term, asset class return assumptions of typically 30 years, which are provided by external advisors. Consideration is also given to the extent active management is employed in each asset class and also to management expenses. A single expected long-term rate of return is calculated for each plan by assessing the plan's expected asset allocation strategy, the benefits of diversification therefrom, historical excess returns from actively managed traditional investments, expected long-term returns for alternative investments and expected investment expenses. The resulting composite rate of return is reviewed by internal and external parties for reasonableness. Retirement Plan Discount Rate The U.K. discount rate is based on the yield curve approach using the U.K. Aon Hewitt GBP Single Agency AA Corporates-Only Curve. U.K. Pension Equalization Ruling On October 26, 2018 the High Court of Justice in the U.K. (the "High Court") issued a ruling related to the equalization of benefits payable to men and women for the effect of guaranteed minimum pensions under U.K. defined benefit pension plans. As a result of this ruling, the Company estimated the impact of retroactively increasing benefits in its U.K. plans in accordance with the High Court ruling. The Company treated the additional benefits as a prior service cost which resulted in an increase to its projected benefit obligation and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $28 million. The Company will amortize this cost over the average remaining life expectancy of the U.K. participants. Given the immaterial effect on the U.K. plan's projected benefit, an interim remeasurement was not performed. Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors defined contribution plans for substantially all U.S. employees and certain foreign employees. The plans allow employees to contribute a portion of their earnings in accordance with specified guidelines. Matching contributions are made annually in January to participants employed on December 31 of the prior year and vest in one year. However, if a participant retires from the Company or dies prior to December 31, the participant will be eligible to receive matching contributions approximately 30 days following separation from service. During fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company contributed $221 million, $192 million and $219 million, respectively, to its defined contribution plans. As of March 31, 2021, plan assets included 3,046,140 shares of the Company’s common stock. Deferred Compensation Plans Effective as of the HPES Merger, DXC assumed sponsorship of the Computer Sciences Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, which was renamed the “DXC Technology Company Deferred Compensation Plan” (the “DXC DCP”), and adopted the Enterprise Services Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “ES DCP”). Both plans are non-qualified deferred compensation plans maintained for a select group of management, highly compensated employees and non- employee directors. The DXC DCP covers eligible employees who participated in CSC’s Deferred Compensation Plan prior to the HPES Merger. The ES DCP covers eligible employees who participated in the HPE Executive Deferred Compensation Plan prior to the HPES Merger. Both plans allow participating employees to defer the receipt of current compensation to a future distribution date or event above the amounts that may be deferred under DXC’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan, the DXC Technology Matched Asset Plan. Neither plan provides for employer contributions. As of April 3, 2017, the ES DCP does not admit new participants. 127 Certain management and highly compensated employees are eligible to defer all, or a portion of, their regular salary that exceeds the limitation set forth in Internal Revenue Section 401(a)(17) and all or a portion of their incentive compensation. Non-employee directors are eligible to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation. The liability under the plan, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's balance sheets, amounted to $42 million as of March 31, 2021 and $48 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company's expense under the Plan totaled $8 million, $0 million and $2 million, for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Note 16 - Stockholders' Equity Description of Capital Stock The Company has authorized share capital consisting of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of common stock is equal in all respects to every other share of common stock of the Company. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share at each annual or special meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and upon any other matter coming before such meeting. Subject to all the rights of the preferred stock, dividends may be paid to holders of common stock as and when declared by the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Company's charter requires that preferred stock must be all of one class but may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such full or limited voting powers, if any, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions as provided in a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Each share of preferred stock will rank on a parity with each other share of preferred stock, regardless of series, with respect to the payment of dividends at the respectively designated rates and with respect to the distribution of capital assets according to the amounts to which the shares of the respective series are entitled. Share Repurchase Program On April 3, 2017, DXC announced the establishment of a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors with an initial authorization of up to $2.0 billion for future repurchases of outstanding shares of DXC common stock. On November 8, 2018, DXC announced that its board of directors approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization. An expiration date has not been established for this repurchase plan. 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. 128 The shares repurchased are retired immediately and included in the category of authorized but unissued shares. The excess of purchase price over par value of the common shares is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. There was no share repurchase activity during fiscal 2021. The details of shares repurchased during fiscal 2020 and 2019 are shown below: Fiscal Year 2020 Open market purchases ASR 2019 Open market purchases Treasury Stock Transactions Number of shares repurchased Average Price Per Share Amount (In millions) 12,279,107 3,654,544 15,933,651 19,342,586 19,342,586 2020 Total 2019 Total $43.67 $ $54.73 $ $46.21 $ $69.20 $ $69.20 $ 536 200 736 1,339 1,339 In fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company accepted 4,050, 38,902 and 42,008 shares of its common stock, respectively, in lieu of cash in connection with the exercise of stock options. In fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company accepted 305,269, 321,148 and 729,703 shares of its common stock, respectively, in lieu of cash in connection with the tax withholdings associated with the release of common stock upon vesting of restricted stock and RSUs. As a result, the Company holds 2,458,027 treasury shares as of March 31, 2021. Dividends The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has suspended the Company’s cash dividend payment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to preserve cash and enhance financial flexibility in the current environment. We intend to continue to suspend quarterly cash dividends for fiscal 2022.

The number of stock options and exercise price were adjusted to generally preserve the intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation. There was no incremental share-based compensation expense recognized as a result of the modification of the awards. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has broad authority to grant awards and otherwise administer the DXC Employee Equity Plan. The plan became effective March 30, 2017 and will continue in effect for a period of 10 years thereafter, unless terminated earlier by the Board. The Board has the authority to amend the plan in such respects as it deems desirable, subject to approval of DXC’s stockholders for material modifications. 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. In general, if the employee’s status as a full-time employee is terminated prior to the vesting of the RSU grant in full, then the RSU grant is automatically canceled on the termination date and any unvested shares and dividend equivalents are forfeited. Certain executives were awarded service-based "career share" RSUs for which the shares are settled over the 10 anniversaries following the executive's separation from service as a full-time employee, provided the executive complies with certain non-competition covenants during that period. The Company also grants PSUs, which generally vest over a period of three years. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is dependent upon the Company’s achievement of certain specified financial performance criteria over a 3-year period. If the specified performance criteria are met, awards are settled for shares of DXC common stock and dividend equivalents upon the filing with the SEC of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year of the performance period. PSU awards include the potential for up to 25% of the shares granted to be earned after the first and second fiscal years if certain of the Company's performance targets are met early, subject to vesting based on the participant's continued employment through the end of the three- year performance period. In fiscal 2021, DXC issued awards that are considered to have a market condition. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used for the valuation of the grants. Settlement of shares for the fiscal 2021 PSU awards will be made at the end of the third fiscal year subject to certain compounded annual growth rates of the stock price and continued employment through the last day of the third fiscal year. The terms of the DXC Director Equity Plan allow DXC to grant RSU awards to non-employee directors of DXC. Such RSU awards vest in full at the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the next annual meeting date, and are automatically redeemed for DXC common stock and dividend equivalents either at that time or, if an RSU deferral election form is submitted, upon the date or event elected by the director. Distributions made upon a director’s separation from the Board may occur in either a lump sum or in annual installments over periods of 5, 10, or 15 years, per the director’s election. In addition, RSUs vest in full upon a change in control of DXC. The DXC Share Purchase Plan allows DXC’s employees located in the U.K. to purchase shares of DXC’s common stock at the fair market value of such shares on the applicable purchase date. There were 51,302 shares purchased under this plan during fiscal 2021. The Board has reserved for issuance shares of DXC common stock, par value $0.01 per share, under each of the plans as detailed below: DXC Employee Equity Plan DXC Director Equity Plan DXC Share Purchase Plan Total 131 As of March 31, 2021 Reserved for issuance Available for future grants 51,200,000 32,858,137 745,000 250,000 435,951 155,308 52,195,000 33,449,396 The Company recognized share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 as follows: (in millions) Total share-based compensation cost Related income tax benefit Total intrinsic value of options exercised Tax benefits from exercised stock options and awards Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 $ $ $ $ 56 6 1 6 $ $ $ $ 68 12 8 14 $ $ $ $ 74 15 44 39 As of March 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested DXC RSUs, net of expected forfeitures was $135 million, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense for unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.96 years.

See Note 15 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans. Foreign currency loss (gain) resulted from the movement of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, related hedges including options to manage its exposure to economic risk and the cost of the Company’s hedging program. Other gain primarily relates to gain on sale of non-operating assets and investment income. 135 Note 20 - Segment and Geographic Information DXC has a matrix form of organization and is managed in several different and overlapping groupings including services, industries and geographic regions. As a result, and in accordance with accounting standards, operating segments are organized by the type of services provided. DXC's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the chief executive officer, obtains, reviews, and manages the Company’s financial performance based on these segments. The CODM uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments. As a result of the Separation, USPS is no longer included as a reportable segment and its results have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of taxes, for all periods presented. See Note 3 - "Divestitures." DXC now operates in two reportable segments as described below: Global Business Services GBS provides innovative technology solutions that help our customers address key business challenges and accelerate transformations tailored to each customer’s industry and specific objectives.

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 include certain corporate function costs, stock-based compensation expense, pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses, restructuring costs, transaction, separation, and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

As a result, assets are not tracked by segment and therefore, total assets by segment is not disclosed. Geographic Information See Note 21 - "Revenue" for the Company's revenue by geography. Property and equipment, net, which is based on the physical location of the assets, was as follows: (in millions) United States U.K. Australia Other Europe Other International Total Property and Equipment, net As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 1,189 $ 1,621 465 149 603 540 493 134 757 542 2,946 $ 3,547 $ $ No single customer exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019. 138 Note 21 - Revenue Revenue Recognition The following table presents DXC's revenues disaggregated by geography, based on the location of incorporation of the DXC entity providing the related goods or services: (in millions) United States U.K. Other Europe Australia Other International Total Revenues Twelve Months Ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 $ $ 5,983 $ 7,225 $ 2,413 5,129 1,529 2,776 5,121 1,487 2,675 17,729 $ 2,968 19,577 $ 7,677 3,175 5,294 1,582 3,025 20,753 The revenue by geography pertains to both of the Company’s reportable segments. Refer to Note 20 - "Segment and Geographic Information" for the Company’s segment disclosures. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligation 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. As of March 31, 2021, approximately $23 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 39% of these remaining performance obligations in fiscal 2022, with the remainder of the balance recognized thereafter.

The costs recorded during fiscal 2021 were largely the result of implementing the Fiscal 2021 Plan as described below. The composition of restructuring liabilities by financial statement line items is as follows: (in millions) Accrued expenses and other current liabilities Other long-term liabilities Total Summary of Restructuring Plans Fiscal 2021 Plan As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 $ $ 225 $ 45 270 $ 145 35 180 During fiscal 2021, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align the Company's workforce and facility structures (the "Fiscal 2021 Plan"). Fiscal 2020 Plan During fiscal 2020, management approved cost savings initiatives designed to reduce operating costs by re-balancing its workforce and facilities structures (the "Fiscal 2020 Plan"). The Fiscal 2020 Plan includes workforce optimization programs and facilities and data center rationalization. Costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2020 Plan total $296 million, comprising $279 million in employee severance and $17 million of facilities costs. Fiscal 2019 Plan During fiscal 2019, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align the Company's organizational structure with its strategic initiatives and continue the integration of HPES and other acquisitions (the "Fiscal 2019 Plan"). The Fiscal 2019 Plan includes workforce optimization and rationalization of facilities and data center assets. Costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2019 Plan total $479 million, comprising $337 million in employee severance and $142 million of facilities costs. Other Prior Year Plans In June 2017, management approved a post-HPES Merger restructuring plan to optimize the Company's operations in response to a continuing business contraction (the "Fiscal 2018 Plan"). The Fiscal 2018 Plan focuses mainly on optimizing specific aspects of global workforce, increasing the proportion of work performed in low cost offshore locations and re- balancing the pyramid structure. Additionally, this plan included global facility restructuring, including a global data center restructuring program. Costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2018 Plan total $998 million, comprising $802 million in employee severance and $196 million of facilities costs. Acquired Restructuring Liabilities As a result of the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC") and HPES ("HPES Merger"), DXC acquired restructuring liabilities under restructuring plans that were initiated for HPES under plans approved by the HPE Board of Directors. 141 Restructuring activities, summarized by plan year, were as follows: Restructuring Liability as of March 31, 2020 Costs Expensed, Net of Reversals(1) Costs Not Affecting Restructuring Liability(2) Cash Paid Other(3) Restructuring Liability as of March 31, 2021 Fiscal 2021 Plan Workforce Reductions Facilities Costs Total Fiscal 2020 Plan Workforce Reductions(4) Facilities Costs Total Fiscal 2019 Plan Workforce Reductions Facilities Costs Total Other Prior Year Plans Workforce Reductions Facilities Costs Total Acquired Liabilities Workforce Reductions Facilities Costs Total $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ — $ — — $ 74 $ 2 76 $ 25 $ 5 30 $ 24 — 24 39 11 50 $ $ $ $ 501 $ (11) $ (313) $ 37 (17) (14) 538 $ ) (28) $ ( ) (327) $ ( 3 $ (3) — $ 180 3 183 8 $ (4) 4 $ (1) $ (2) ( ) (3) $ 12 — 12 $ $ 1 $ (1) — $ 1 4 5 $ $ (60) $ 4 $ (2) — ) (62) $ ( 4 $ (2) $ (17) $ 1 (1) ( ) (1) $ ) ( (18) $ 2 3 5 $ $ (7) $ (19) $ 2 $ — — — ( ) (7) $ ) ( (19) $ 2 $ — $ 1 1 (7) $ (9) $ ) ( (16) $ 1 $ (1) — $ 27 — 27 7 6 13 12 — 12 34 1 35 (1) Costs expensed, net of reversals include $11 million, $9 million, and $3 million of costs reversed from the Fiscal 2020 Plan, Fiscal 2019 Plan and Other Prior Year Plans, respectively.

Under the terms of these agreements, the Company is contractually committed to purchase specified minimums over periods ranging from one to five years. If the Company does not meet the specified minimums, the Company would have an obligation to pay the service provider all, or a portion, of the shortfall. Minimum purchase commitments as of March 31, 2021 were as follows: Fiscal year (in millions) 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total $ Minimum Purchase Commitment 1,487 1,227 423 175 177 15 $ 3,504 In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain customers with financial performance guarantees, and at times performance letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event that non-performance by the Company permits termination of the related contract by the Company’s customer. The Company believes it is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. The Company also uses stand-by letters of credit, in lieu of cash, to support various risk management insurance policies. These letters of credit represent a contingent liability and the Company would only be liable if it defaults on its payment obligations on these policies. The following table summarizes the expiration of the Company’s financial guarantees and stand-by letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2021: (in millions) Surety bonds Letters of credit Stand-by letters of credit Totals Fiscal 2022 Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2024 and Thereafter Totals $ $ 98 $ 172 71 341 $ 18 30 26 74 $ $ 69 $ 510 11 185 712 108 590 $ 1,005 The Company generally indemnifies licensees of its proprietary software products against claims brought by third parties alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights, including rights in patents (with or without geographic limitations), copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. DXC’s indemnification of its licensees relates to costs arising from court awards, negotiated settlements, and the related legal and internal costs of those licensees. The Company maintains the right, at its own cost, to modify or replace software in order to eliminate any infringement. The Company has not incurred any significant costs related to licensee software indemnification. 144 Contingencies Strauch Fair Labor Standards Act Collective Action: On July 1, 2014, several plaintiffs filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of themselves and a putative nationwide collective of CSC system administrators, alleging CSC’s failure to properly classify these employees as non-exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). Plaintiffs alleged similar state-law Rule 23 class claims pursuant to Connecticut and California statutes. Plaintiffs claimed double overtime damages, liquidated damages, and other amounts and remedies. In 2015 the Court entered an order granting conditional certification under the FLSA of the collective of over 4,000 system administrators. Approximately 1,000 system administrators filed consents with the Court to participate in the FLSA collective. The class/collective action is currently made up of approximately 800 individuals who held the title of associate professional or professional system administrator. In June 2017, the Court granted Rule 23 certification of a Connecticut state-law class and a California state-law class consisting of professional system administrators and associate professional system administrators. Senior professional system administrators were found not to qualify for Rule 23 certification under the state-law claims. CSC sought permission to appeal the Rule 23 decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which was denied. In December 2017, a jury trial was held and a verdict was returned in favor of plaintiffs. On August 6, 2019, the Court issued an order awarding plaintiffs $18.75 million in damages. In September 2019, Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking $14.1 million in attorneys’ fees and costs. In July 2020, the Court issued an order awarding Plaintiffs $8.1 million in attorneys' fees and costs. The Company disagrees with the jury verdict, the damages award, and the fee award, and is appealing the judgment of the Court. In October 2020, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs to resolve the matter. In February 2021, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs, which is now pending court approval. Computer Sciences Corporation v. Eric Pulier, et al.: On May 12, 2015, CSC filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Eric Pulier, the former CEO of Service Mesh Inc. ("SMI"), which CSC had acquired in November 2013. The complaint asserted claims for fraud, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, based on allegations that Mr. Pulier had engaged in fraudulent transactions with two employees of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd. (“CBA”). The Court dismissed CSC’s claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith, but allowed substantially all of the remaining claims to proceed. Mr. Pulier asserted counter-claims for breach of contract, fraud, negligent representation, rescission, and violations of the California Blue Sky securities law, all of which the Court dismissed in whole or in part, except for claims for breach of Mr. Pulier’s retention agreement. In July 2017, the Court granted a motion by the United States for a 90-day stay of discovery pending the completion of a criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. In September 2017, a federal grand jury returned an indictment against Mr. Pulier, charging him with conspiracy, securities and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and other violations of federal law (United States v. Eric Pulier, CR 17-599-AB). The Government sought an extension of the stay which the Delaware Chancery Court granted. In December 2018, the Government filed an application to dismiss the indictment against Mr. Pulier, which was granted, and the indictment was dismissed with prejudice. In March 2019, the Delaware Chancery Court lifted the stay and denied CSC's motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction with respect to certain of Mr. Pulier's assets. In August 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Pulier, resolving all claims and counterclaims in the Delaware litigation through the division of amounts previously held in escrow for post-closing disputes. In September 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a complaint against Mr. Pulier in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging various claims, including for fraud and falsifying books and records (Securities and Exchange Commission v. Eric Pulier, Case No. 2:17-cv-07124). In May 2021, the SEC and Mr. Pulier filed a Consent of Defendant Eric Pulier and a Proposed Final Judgment as to Defendant Eric Pulier, which the Court subsequently accepted and entered. 145 With the SEC’s claims against Mr. Pulier resolved, the Company’s obligation to advance amounts for Mr. Pulier’s legal fees and costs has concluded. Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. v. Computer Sciences Corporation: In October 2015, Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. (“Kemper”) filed a demand for arbitration against CSC with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), alleging that CSC breached the terms of a 2009 Master Software License and Services Agreement and related Work Orders (the “Agreement”) by failing to complete a software translation and implementation plan by certain contractual deadlines. Kemper claimed breach of contract, seeking approximately $100 million in damages. CSC answered the demand for arbitration denying Kemper’s claims and asserting a counterclaim for unpaid invoices for services rendered by CSC. A single arbitrator conducted an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the claims and counterclaims in April 2017. In October 2017, the arbitrator issued a partial final award, finding for Kemper on its breach of contract theory, awarding Kemper $84.2 million in compensatory damages plus prejudgment interest, denying Kemper’s claim for rescission as moot, and denying CSC’s counterclaim. Kemper moved to confirm the award in federal district court in Texas. CSC moved to vacate the award, and in August 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued its Report and Recommendation denying CSC's vacatur motion. In September 2018, the District Court summarily accepted the Report and Recommendation without further briefing and entered a Final Judgment in the case. The Company promptly filed a notice of appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Following the submission of briefs, oral argument was held on September 5, 2019. On January 10, 2020, the Court of Appeals issued a decision denying the Company’s appeal. On January 24, 2020, the Company filed a Petition for Rehearing, seeking review by the entire en banc Court of Appeals. On February 14, 2020, the Court of Appeals denied the Company’s Petition. The Company has been pursuing coverage for the full scope of the award, interest, and legal fees and expenses, under the Company's applicable insurance policies. Certain carriers have accepted coverage while others have denied coverage. On February 21, 2020, the Company paid the balance of the judgment, which net of insurance recovery, totalled $60 million. The Company has since recovered an additional $12.5 million from its insurance carriers. The Company continues to pursue recovery with its insurance carriers. 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”), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California public policy and the California Business and Professions Code. Former business units of HPE now owned by the Company may be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide class action under the ADEA comprised of all U.S. residents employed by defendants who had their employment terminated pursuant to a work force reduction (“WFR”) plan and who were 40 years of age or older at the time of termination. The class seeks to cover those impacted by WFRs on or after December 2014. Plaintiffs also seek to represent a Rule 23 class under California law comprised of all persons 40 years of age or older employed by defendants in the state of California and terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, 2012. In January 2017, defendants filed a partial motion to dismiss and a motion to compel arbitration of claims by certain named and opt-in plaintiffs who had signed release agreements as part of their WFR packages. In September 2017, the Court denied the partial motion to dismiss without prejudice, but granted defendants’ motions to compel arbitration for those named and opt-in plaintiffs. The Court stayed the entire action pending arbitration for these individuals, and administratively closed the case. 146 A mediation was held in October 2018 with the 16 named and opt-in plaintiffs who were involved in the case at that time. A settlement was reached, which included seven plaintiffs who were employed by former business units of HPE that are now owned by the Company. In June 2019, a second mediation was held with 145 additional opt-in plaintiffs who were compelled to arbitration pursuant to their release agreements. In December 2019, a settlement was reached with 142 of the opt-in plaintiffs, 35 of whom were employed by former business units of HPE that are now owned by the Company, and for which the Company was liable. 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. Former business units of the Company now owned by Perspecta may be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter. Oracle America, Inc., et al. v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company: On March 22, 2016, Oracle filed a complaint against HPE in the Northern District of California, alleging copyright infringement, interference with contract, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and unfair competition. The litigation relates in part to former business units of HPE that are now owned by the Company. The Company may be required to indemnify HPE for a portion of any recovery by Oracle in the litigation related to these business units. Oracle’s claims arise primarily out of HPE’s prior relationship with a third-party maintenance provider named Terix Computer Company, Inc. (“Terix”). Oracle claims that Terix infringed its copyrights while acting as HPE’s subcontractor for certain customers of HPE’s multivendor support business. Oracle claims that HPE is liable for vicarious and contributory infringement arising from the alleged actions of Terix and for direct infringement arising from its own alleged conduct. On January 29, 2019, the court granted HPE’s motion for summary judgment and denied Oracle’s motion for summary judgment, resolving the matter in HPE’s favor. Oracle appealed the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In August 2020, the court granted Oracle's appeal in part. The case was then remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. In January 2021, the District Court entered a scheduling order that provided for summary judgment briefing to be completed by May 2021 and a trial date in November 2021. In re DXC Technology Company Securities Litigation: On December 27, 2018, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the Company and two of its current officers. The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is premised on allegedly false and/or misleading statements, and alleged non-disclosure of material facts, regarding the Company’s business, operations, prospects and performance during the proposed class period of February 8, 2018 to November 6, 2018. The Company moved to dismiss the claims in their entirety, and on June 2, 2020, the court granted the Company’s motion, dismissing all claims and entering judgment in the Company's favor. On July 1, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed and a decision on the appeal remains pending. In March 2019, three related shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, in and for Clark County, against one of the Company’s current officers and a former officer as well as members of the Company’s board of directors, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. By agreement of the parties and order of the court, those lawsuits were consolidated on July 18, 2019, and are presently stayed pending the outcome of the appeal of the Eastern District of Virginia matter. 147 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. On September 16, 2019, a substantially similar purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, directors of the Company, and a former officer of the Company, among other defendants. On November 8, 2019, a third purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, against the Company, directors of the Company, and a former officer of the Company, among other defendants. The third lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff and re- filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara on November 26, 2019, and thereafter was consolidated with the earlier-filed action in the same court on December 10, 2019. The California lawsuits assert claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are premised on allegedly false and/or misleading statements, and alleged non-disclosure of material facts, regarding the Company’s prospects and expected performance. Plaintiff in the federal action filed an amended complaint on January 8, 2020. The putative class of plaintiffs in these cases includes all persons who acquired shares of 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. On July 15, 2020, the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, denied the Company’s motion to stay the state court case but extended the Company’s deadline to seek dismissal of the state action, until after a decision on the Company’s motion to dismiss the federal action. The Company has since moved to dismiss the state action, and the court has continued the motion until after the outcome of the federal action. On July 27, 2020, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the federal action. The Court’s order permitted plaintiffs to amend and refile their complaint within 60 days, and on September 25, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On November 12, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On April 30, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint, while granting Plaintiffs leave to amend and refile their complaint within 30 days. On October 2, 2019, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, in and for Clark County, asserting various claims, including for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, and challenging certain sales of securities by officers under Rule 10b5-1 plans. The shareholder filed this action after making a demand on the board of directors, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and disclosure violations, and demanding that the board take certain actions to evaluate the allegations and respond. The Company’s board of directors analyzed the demand, and has determined to defer its decision on the demand pending developments in the securities and derivative lawsuits described above. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint on the basis that the Board’s decision to defer action was not a refusal of the demand and was within its discretion. The Company’s motion to dismiss was denied on January 22, 2020. By agreement of the parties and order of the court, the case is presently stayed, pending the outcome of the appeal in the Eastern District of Virginia matter. On March 31, 2020, a group of individual shareholders filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, asserting non-class claims based on allegations substantially similar to those at issue in the earlier- filed putative class action complaints pending in the Northern District of California and Eastern District of Virginia. The plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On April 29, 2020, the court granted an administrative motion to relate the case with the earlier-filed putative class action pending in the Northern District of California. And on May 13, 2020, the parties filed a stipulation requesting to stay the case subject to resolution of the motions to dismiss in the Northern District of California and Eastern District of Virginia class actions. The Company believes that the lawsuits described above are without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend them. Voluntary Disclosure of Certain Possible Sanctions Law Violations: On February 2, 2017, CSC submitted an initial notification of voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") regarding certain possible violations of U.S. sanctions laws pertaining to insurance premium data and claims data processed by two partially-owned joint ventures of Xchanging, which CSC acquired during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. A copy of the disclosure was also provided to Her Majesty’s Treasury Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation in the United Kingdom. The Company has substantially completed its internal investigation. The Company provided supplemental information to OFAC on January 31, 2020 and continues to work with OFAC on these issues. 148 Perspecta Arbitration: In October 2019, Perspecta Inc. ("Perspecta") submitted a demand for arbitration claiming that in June 2018 DXC breached certain obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement ("SDA") between Perspecta and DXC and seeking at least $120 million in alleged damages. During the course of discovery, Perspecta increased the amount of its alleged damages, first to $500 million and then to over $800 million. Perspecta then increased its damages calculations to include interest, bringing its total claim to $990 million. In its arbitration demand, Perspecta also challenged $39 million in invoices issued by DXC in June 2019 under its IT Services Agreement with Perspecta ("ITSA"). Perspecta subsequently challenged an additional $31 million sought by DXC in August 2020 under the ITSA. In October 2020, a hearing was held before an arbitration panel, during which the Company and Perspecta each presented evidence on the claims at issue. In December 2020, the parties presented closing arguments and the case was submitted. In February 2021, the arbitration panel issued an interim award, finding in DXC’s favor on all matters at issue in the arbitration. Perspecta’s claims under the SDA were denied in full. Perspecta’s challenges under the ITSA were also denied in full, and DXC was awarded the full amount of its invoices, totaling $69 million. The panel further held that DXC could seek reimbursement of its costs and fees in litigating the matter, as well as pre- and post-judgment interest on the $69 million DXC was awarded. The parties submitted briefing on these issues in March 2021. In May 2021, the parties reached an agreement to settle DXC’s pending request for fees and interest. The agreement also provided for payment to DXC of the $69 million awarded to it in the arbitration. This matter is now closed. 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 of our tax positions. For more detail, see Note 13 - "Income Taxes— Tax Examinations." 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. 149 Note 24 - Subsequent Events HPS Sale On April 1, 2021, DXC completed the sale of its HPS Business to Dedalus Holding S.p.A. ("Dedalus") for €462 million (approximately $543 million), subject to certain adjustments. The sale of HPS to Dedalus is consistent with DXC’s strategy and focus on the Enterprise Technology Stack. The sale proceeds were used to repay the remainder of two series of 4.45% Senior Notes due fiscal 2023 for $154 million and $165 million. 150 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of the design and operation 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, as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that DXC's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below (and previously disclosed in our December 31, 2019 Form 10-Q and subsequent Form 10-K and 10-Q filings), in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Notwithstanding this material weakness described below, management has concluded that the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented herein. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria and framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2021 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statement would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” of our Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2019, management concluded there was a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting relating to the design and implementation of effective control activities based on the criteria established in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Management identified multiple deficiencies that constitute a material weakness, in the aggregate, related to the establishment and timely reassessment of policies and procedures for complex transactions and processes and the related impacts to control activities. As a result, we have concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our Consolidated Financial Statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and therefore we concluded that the aggregation of these deficiencies represents a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021. 151 Remediation Plan Management has taken and will continue to take significant and comprehensive actions to remediate the material weakness. With the addition of new operations and finance leadership working in concert with the Audit Committee, management assessed the root cause of the multiple deficiencies that aggregated to the material weakness. As a result, an extension of time is necessary to make further control enhancements to deliver a sustainable control environment and remediate the material weakness. The Audit Committee has been fully engaged and supportive of management’s efforts to remediate the Material Weakness. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Audit Committee has received a remediation report at each regularly held meeting and had additional informal meetings specifically to review progress on the remediation. Participants have included the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, SOX Leader and Internal Audit to answer questions and take feedback from the Committee. Additionally, the Audit Committee requested that the new finance leadership complete a detailed review of the root cause analysis and remediation plan which was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 making it necessary for an extension of time to complete additional remediation actions, including further augmenting the Company's talent. The following activities are designed as part of this remediation plan to (1) address the material weakness in the control activities component of the COSO framework and (2) enhance and improve our control activities and processes: Actions to remediate the material weakness in the control activities component of COSO: • We appointed a new Chief Financial Officer during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 with previous experience as a Chief Accounting Officer and substantial experience leading a finance organization through transformation including remediating material weaknesses. Our Chief Financial Officer is leading our remediation efforts and is focused on driving change in our finance organization, control environment and culture. • We evaluated our finance organization and have and will augment our finance team with additional professionals with the appropriate levels of accounting, controls, finance oversight and tax experience and training. • We hired a dedicated team of controls and process experts to standardize our processes and focus our key controls to address material risks. • We are increasing communication and training to employees regarding internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. • We are designing and implementing an enterprise wide process to timely identify, track and appropriately resolve and conclude on complex transactions and disclosures. Additional enhancements to improve our control activities and processes: • We are enhancing our financial cadence and discipline including reviewing the underlying performance of the business and related balance sheet accounts. • We are enhancing key enterprise controls including financial operations reviews, working capital reviews, balance sheet reviews and assessment and monitoring of non-routine accounting transactions. • We are assessing relevant policies focusing on ownership and accountability and reviewing and implementing changes to thresholds to focus on risk. • We are refining the financial close process so it executes with the appropriate cadence and rigor to reduce the length of time it takes to close. • We are standardizing processes, rationalizing and strengthening controls to mitigate significant risk, enhance control owner accountability and transparency to address deficiencies in a holistic and timely manner. These additional remediation efforts, identified to comprehensively address our analysis of root causes, have begun and are expected to be completed in subsequent quarters. After management’s remediation efforts are complete, subsequent testing will be required to conclude that a material weakness no longer exists. Our goal is to have enhanced control policies, procedures, processes in place as promptly as practicable, however, we are not in a position to complete our remediation plan and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not designed or operating effectively as of March 31, 2021. 152 The effectiveness of DXC's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which is contained in this Annual Report. Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting In addition to the remediation efforts described above, we adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, effective April 1, 2020, as described in Note 2 - “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the financial statements during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We began using a new model and redesigned certain processes and controls relating to our reserves and expected losses. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 153 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of DXC Technology Company Tysons, Virginia Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of DXC Technology Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated May 27, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 154 Material Weakness A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment: The Company did not design and implement effective control activities based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. The Company identified multiple deficiencies that constitute a material weakness, in the aggregate, related to the establishment and timely reassessment of policies and procedures for complex transactions and processes and the related impacts to control activities. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP McLean, Virginia May 27, 2021 155 ITEM 9B.
