Insights

Equity Strategist

Kyndryl shows improving profitability and cash return actions despite slight revenue decline; buyback expansion and reaffirmed guidance signal management confidence.

Kyndryl converted modest revenue decline into stronger profitability: revenue of $3.7 billion (down 1% reported, down 3.7% constant currency) alongside pretax income of $98 million and adjusted EBITDA of $641 million (up 15% YoY). Adjusted pretax income rose to $123 million and adjusted net income to $89 million, while signings for the trailing twelve months reached $15.6 billion versus trailing revenue of $15.0 billion, indicating booking momentum supporting future revenue recognition.

The company emphasizes margin restoration and higher‑value work via its three‑A initiatives (Alliances, Advanced Delivery, Accounts) and hyperscaler alliances, with hyperscaler revenue at $440 million in the quarter (a 65% YoY increase) and Kyndryl Consult revenue up 28% YoY. Management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 targets including adjusted pretax income of at least $725 million, adjusted EBITDA margin ~18%, free cash flow ~$550 million, and constant‑currency revenue growth of 1%, and authorized an incremental $400 million share repurchase on top of an earlier $300 million program.

Key dependencies and risks are explicit in the results: revenue pressure from reduced low‑margin third‑party content and longer sales cycles affected top‑line growth, while margin gains rely on continued success of higher‑margin signings and execution of the three‑A initiatives. Watchables include reported free cash flow of $22 million for the quarter against a full‑year target of $550 million, the pace of hyperscaler and Kyndryl Consult revenue through the remainder of fiscal 2026, and repurchase activity under the expanded $400 million authorization. Expect meaningful updates at the earnings webcast on November 5, 2025 and in subsequent quarters as signings convert to revenue and free cash flow trends clarify.

• Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 total $3.7 billion, pretax income is $98 million, and net income is $68 million
• Adjusted EBITDA is $641 million, adjusted pretax income is $123 million, and adjusted net income is $89 million
• Company reaffirms fiscal 2026 outlook
• Company announces additional $400 million share repurchase authorization

NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today released financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the second quarter of its 2026 fiscal year. 

"Our second quarter performance reflects the momentum we're building across key growth priorities – Kyndryl Consult, alliances with hyperscalers and other leading technology providers, and our innovative services in AI, cloud and security.  We expect activity to strengthen in the second half of fiscal 2026, supported by our pipeline and the constructive discussions we're having with new and existing customers," said Kyndryl Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Martin Schroeter.

"With our deep expertise in mission-critical services and our AI-powered Kyndryl Bridge platform, we continue to help our customers realize greater value from their modernization and AI-related technology investments, fueling innovation and driving stronger business outcomes.  Looking ahead, we remain committed to our multi-year objectives and to prudent capital allocation, including our significantly expanded share repurchase program."

Results for the Fiscal Second Quarter Ended September 30, 2025

For the second quarter, Kyndryl reported revenues of $3.7 billion, down 1% year-over-year on a reported basis and down 3.7% in constant currency.  Similar to the first quarter, the year-over-year constant-currency revenue comparison reflects the Company's progress in reducing inherited no-margin and low-margin third-party content in customer contracts, as well as longer sales cycles, partially offset by growth in other areas.  The Company reported pretax income of $98 million, a year-over-year increase of $103 million compared to a pretax loss of $5 million in the prior-year period.  Net income was $68 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the quarter, compared to a net loss of $43 million, or ($0.19) per diluted share, in the prior-year period.  Cash flow from operations was $147 million, a decrease of $2 million compared to the prior-year period.

Adjusted pretax income was $123 million, a $78 million increase compared to adjusted pretax income of $45 million in the prior-year period, reflecting contributions from Kyndryl's three-A initiatives – Alliances, Advanced Delivery and Accounts.  Adjusted net income was $89 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.  Adjusted EBITDA was $641 million, a 15% year-over-year increase.  Free cash flow was $22 million.

Signings for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025 were $15.6 billion, exceeding trailing twelve months' revenue of $15.0 billion.  

"We continued to advance our strategic and financial goals while maintaining attractive margins across our operations and on our new signings," said David Wyshner, Kyndryl's Chief Financial Officer.  "We remain focused on expanding our scope with customers, sustaining our margin momentum, and achieving our fiscal 2028 objectives, which include generating more than $1 billion in free cash flow.  Through our disciplined approach and operational rigor, we will continue to be tenacious in creating value for our customers and shareholders."

Share Repurchase Authorization

The Company today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a $400 million increase in its share repurchase program.  This authorization is in addition to the $300 million buyback program announced in November 2024, under which the Company has repurchased 7.3 million shares of stock, representing 3% of its outstanding shares, at a cost of $249 million as of September 30, 2025.  The program does not have a set expiration date and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Recent Developments

• Hyperscaler-related revenue – In the second quarter, as part of Kyndryl's Alliances initiative, the Company generated $440 million in revenue tied to cloud hyperscaler alliances, a 65% year-over-year increase, and is now positioned to exceed its initial hyperscaler revenue target of $1.8 billion for fiscal 2026.
• Strong projected margin on recent signings – In the quarter, the projected pretax margin associated with signings was in the high-single-digit range, in line with recent quarters, demonstrating the Company's ability to build expected profit into its services contracts.
• Double-digit growth in Kyndryl Consult – In the second quarter, Kyndryl Consult revenues grew 28% year-over-year. Kyndryl Consult signings have grown 11% over the last twelve months.
• Incremental contribution from three-A's initiatives – The Company's Advanced Delivery initiative, focused on AI-enabled automation through our Kyndryl Bridge operating platform, and its Accounts initiative to address relationships with substandard margins continued to drive earnings growth and margin expansion in the quarter.
• Artificial intelligence – Kyndryl is continuing to expand its AI-related capabilities by establishing technology hubs in England, France and Singapore and, most recently, launching an AI Innovation Lab in India. Through the Kyndryl Agentic AI Framework, the Company is enabling enterprise customers to develop and deploy AI solutions at scale and in security-rich environments. A quarter of Kyndryl's signings already contain AI-related content.
• Share repurchases – The Company repurchased 2.9 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $89 million in the second quarter, under the $300 million share repurchase program authorized in November 2024.

Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

Kyndryl reaffirms its outlook for its fiscal 2026, which runs from April 2025 to March 2026:

• Adjusted pretax income of at least $725 million, representing a year-over-year increase of at least $243 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 18%, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 130 basis points.
• Free cash flow of approximately $550 million, reflecting cash taxes of approximately $175 million.
• Constant-currency revenue growth of 1%.

The Company's full-year outlook reflects second-half revenue that is expected to be stronger than first-half revenue, driven by a larger revenue contribution from opening backlog, accelerated growth in Kyndryl Consult and hyperscaler-related revenue, and a record pipeline of in-process deals.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding its results, the Company has provided certain metrics that are not calculated based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as constant-currency results, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted pretax income, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pretax margin, adjusted net margin, net debt, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow.  Such non-GAAP metrics are intended to supplement GAAP metrics, but not to replace them.  The Company's non-GAAP metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.  Definitions of non-GAAP metrics and reconciliations of non-GAAP metrics for historical periods to GAAP metrics are included in the tables in this release.

A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial information is not included in this release because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty some individual components of such reconciliation without unreasonable effort.  These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on future results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Table 4

NON-GAAP METRIC DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS
(dollars in millions, except signings)

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  We also present certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide useful supplemental information to investors.  We provide these non-GAAP financial measures as we believe it enhances investors' visibility to management decisions and their impacts on operational performance; enables better comparison to peer companies; and allows us to provide a long-term strategic view of the business going forward. Moreover, we use certain of these non-GAAP financial metrics in measuring performance under our executive compensation plans.

Constant-currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period.  We define constant-currency revenues as total revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and use it to determine the constant-currency revenue growth on a year-over-year basis.  Constant-currency revenues are calculated by translating current period revenues using corresponding prior-period exchange rates.

Adjusted pretax income is defined as pretax income excluding transaction-related costs and benefits, charges related to ceasing to use leased / fixed assets, charges related to lease terminations, pension costs other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, impairment expense, significant litigation costs and benefits, and currency impacts of highly inflationary countries.  Adjusted pretax margin is calculated by dividing adjusted pretax income by revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation of right-of-use assets and amortization of capitalized contract costs), charges related to ceasing to use leased / fixed assets, charges related to lease terminations, transaction-related costs and benefits, pension costs other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, impairment expense, significant litigation costs and benefits, and currency impacts of highly inflationary countries.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

Adjusted net income is defined as adjusted pretax income less the reported provision for income taxes, minus or plus the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments made to calculate adjusted pretax income, and excluding exceptional items impacting the reported provision for income taxes.  Adjusted net margin is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by revenue.

Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) is defined as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding to reflect shares that are dilutive or anti-dilutive based on the amount of adjusted net income.  The weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate adjusted earnings (loss) per share will differ from such shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share (GAAP) when the inclusion of dilutive shares has an anti-dilutive effect for one calculation but not for the other.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities (GAAP), less net capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities (GAAP) after adding back transaction-related payments, charges related to lease terminations, payments related to workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, and significant litigation payments, less net capital expenditures.  Management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow as measures to evaluate our operating results, plan strategic investments and assess our ability and need to incur and service debt.  We believe these metrics are useful supplemental financial measures to aid investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service our debt.  Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Signings are defined by Kyndryl as an initial estimate of the value of a customer's commitment under a contract.  The calculation involves estimates and judgments to gauge the extent of a customer's commitment.  We calculate this based on various considerations including the type and duration of the agreement as well as the presence of termination charges or wind-down costs.  Contract extensions and increases in scope are treated as signings only to the extent of the incremental new value.  Signings can vary over time due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the timing of signing a small number of larger outsourcing contracts, as well as the length of those contracts.  The conversion of signings into revenue may vary based on the types of services and solutions, customer decisions and other factors, which may include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic environment or external events.  Management uses signings to monitor the performance of the business, as a measure of customer engagement and our ability to drive growth.
