Investor Presentation
Accelerating the Shift to Digital
February 8, 2017
© 2017 Cognizant
Forward Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
1
This investor presentation includes statements which may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, express or implied forward-looking statements relating to our expectations regarding
opportunities in the marketplace, our anticipated financial performance, our plan to return capital to shareholders, our plan to increase non-GAAP operating
margins, our expectations concerning the impact of the agreement with Elliott Management, management's plans, objectives and strategies and the
upcoming 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the accuracy of which are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions as to future events
that may not prove to be accurate. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in these forward-looking statements. Existing
and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied include general economic conditions, changes in the regulatory
environment, including with respect to immigration and taxes, and the other factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cognizant undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities law.
This investor presentation includes discussion of non-GAAP operating margin and U.S. free cash flow. Non-GAAP operating margin and U.S. free cash
flow are measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP measure is not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, a financial measure calculated in
accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, a non-GAAP measure should be read in
conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our non-GAAP operating margin excludes stock-based compensation costs and acquisition-related charges. Acquisition-related charges include, when
applicable, amortization of purchased intangible assets included in the depreciation and amortization expense line on our condensed consolidated
statements of operations, external deal costs, acquisition-related retention bonuses, integration costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
liabilities, charges for impairment of acquired intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs. Investors should refer to our earnings release, dated
February 8, 2017, for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP operating margin to our GAAP operating margin.
We define U.S. free cash flow as net cash provided from operating activities of our U.S. operating subsidiaries less cash purchases of property and
equipment by our U.S. operating subsidiaries.
