Industry Leaders Demonstrate Integrated Post-Quantum Security Solutions at OFC 2026May 6, 2026 9:25 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.VANCOUVER, BC, May 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity-Insider.com News Commentary — The post-quantum cryptography market hit $850 million in 2024 and is on track to top $10 billion by 2032, growing at a 38% compound annual rate[1]. That kind of capital is pouring in for one reason: quantum computers are expected to break the encryption protecting most sensitive data today, and the migration window is shrinking fast. The White House's March 2026 Cyber Strategy made the timeline official, designating post-quantum cryptography as a federal infrastructure priority alongside zero trust and cloud security[2]. Six companies are now positioned across the full migration stack, from enterprise readiness platforms to quantum-secured communications and identity verification: Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT), and Ciena (NYSE: CIEN). Analysts at MarketGenics project the broader sector will scale from $1 billion in 2025 to $45 billion by 2035, a 43% compound annual growth rate driven by the shift from pilot programs to full-scale enterprise deployment[3]. PwC's analysis of the federal strategy reinforces why: quantum-readiness roadmaps and crypto-agile infrastructure are becoming procurement prerequisites, which means the platforms that can actually execute a structured migration, not just flag the risk, are where the asymmetric value sits in this cycle[4].Quantum Secure Encryption (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) has released QPA v2, an enterprise platform designed to help organizations find exactly where their encryption is exposed to quantum computing and map out a plan to fix it before it becomes a problem.Quantum computers are expected to eventually break the encryption protecting most sensitive data today. Most large organizations already know this, but few have a practical way to act on it. QSE built QPA v2 to fill that gap. The platform walks teams through governance, budgets, and migration timelines using a step-by-step planning wizard. AI-powered modules score how prepared an organization's encryption actually is. Inventory tools scan software, hardware, and encryption infrastructure to flag what needs replacing. A centralized dashboard gives leadership a real-time view of risk and progress across the entire organization. QSE says the platform is already live with both current and prospective clients."Organizations are now moving from understanding quantum risk to actively planning for it," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "QPA v2 is designed to support that transition by providing a structured, repeatable framework that enables enterprises and public-sector organizations to assess their current state, prioritize risk, and plan their migration toward post-quantum cryptographic standards."QSE's public-sector traction is growing. The company recently landed its first municipal government pilot through MISA (Municipal Information Systems Association), a national network connecting Canadian municipalities with emerging technology. That municipality is now using QPA to identify which systems depend on encryption that quantum computers could eventually crack, and to start planning upgrades. QSE says conversations with additional municipalities are already underway.The commercial side has expanded just as fast. Since November 2025, QSE has grown from four to thirteen operational markets worldwide, with eleven value-added distributors active and two more partnerships expected to close shortly. The company also joined CADSI (Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries), opening new pathways into Canadian defence and public-sector procurement.QPA v2 connects to QSE's broader product suite, which includes quantum-resilient key infrastructure, the QAuth identity platform, and encrypted storage solutions. QSE is a Canadian post-quantum security company helping organizations protect sensitive data from the more powerful cyberattacks quantum computing is expected to enable, serving commercial, enterprise, and government clients ahead of a generational shift in encryption.CONTINUED… Read this and more on QSE at: https://equity-insider.com/2025/03/18/is-scope-technologies-corp-cse-scpe-otcqb-scpcf-the-next-big-player-in-quantum-cybersecurity/Other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) has unveiled a new blueprint for the secure agentic enterprise, addressing three critical questions organizations face in deploying AI agents: where agents exist, what they can connect to, and what actions they can take. Recent research cited in the announcement found that 88% of organizations report suspected or confirmed AI agent security incidents, yet only 22% treat AI agents as independent, identity-bearing entities."AI agents are evolving faster than any software before them, making traditional security models obsolete. Speed is now a given, but security is the differentiator," said Ric Smith, President of Products & Technology, Okta. "With this new blueprint, Okta is establishing the industry standard for the secure agentic enterprise. We enable companies to discover shadow agents, secure connection points, and maintain the ultimate 'kill switch' to protect their enterprise from evolving risks."To implement the framework, Okta is delivering Okta for AI Agents, a platform set for general availability on April 30, 2026, that discovers and registers known and unknown AI agents, standardizes agent access, and enables instant access revocation. The platform extends Okta's existing catalog of 8,200+ integrations to include dedicated support for AI agent platforms including Boomi, DataRobot, and Google Vertex AI.Kyndryl (NYSE: KD) released findings from its 2025-2026 Security and Networks Snapshot, revealing a significant gap between enterprise infrastructure investment and actual preparedness for converging modernization demands. Based on insights from 3,700 business and technology leaders across 21 countries, the report found that while 62% of organizations are investing in quantum technologies, only 4% of leaders view quantum as the most impactful near-term technology, and 25% of mission-critical networks, storage and servers are at end-of-service."Quantum threats, evolving data sovereignty rules and aging networks are not separate challenges; they are connected pressure points on the same system," said Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader, Cyber Security & Resiliency, Network & Edge, Kyndryl. "In the AI era, organizations engineered for agility, sovereignty awareness and quantum readiness will not only reduce risk, but also build the trust required to fuel innovation."The report also found that 84% of leaders say data sovereignty and repatriation regulations have grown more important in the past year, while only 37% believe their network infrastructure is ready for future risks. As enterprises face tightening regulatory environments and accelerating AI adoption, Kyndryl positions its advisory and managed services portfolio as central to closing the readiness gap at scale.Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT) and Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) jointly demonstrated next-generation quantum-secured communications at OFC 2026, showcasing a layered security architecture that integrates quantum key distribution, quantum authentication, and AES-256-GCM optical encryption. The solution addresses both current cybersecurity threats and future risks posed by quantum computers by combining optical-layer encryption with post-quantum cryptographic techniques."This collaboration demonstrates how quantum-secured communications can move from theory to deployment," said Pouya Dianat, Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Computing. "By integrating our time-frequency entanglement-based QKD and quantum identity authentication technologies with Ciena's high-capacity optical encryption solution, we are delivering a layered security approach built for real-world networks."Quantum Computing's system features a time-frequency entanglement-based QKD architecture using telecom-band photons, and can be augmented with Quantum Identity Authentication using Quantum Zero Knowledge Proof, a hardware-based technology recognized with the 2023 Edison Patent Award. Following its February 2026 acquisition of Luminar Semiconductor, the company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities and product portfolio across photonics and optics components and systems."For businesses and network operators handling sensitive data, the shift towards quantum-safe communications has already begun," said Paulina Gomez, Senior Advisor, Portfolio Marketing at Ciena. "Our easy-to-deploy solution delivers high-speed quantum-safe communications straight out of the box, without impacting performance, to protect critical in-flight data today while preparing for the quantum future."Ciena's Waveserver platform anchors the demonstration, delivering optical AES-256-GCM encryption scaling to 1.6 Tb/s with support for NIST-certified post-quantum cryptography algorithms and ETSI-standard QKD interworking, positioning both companies at the forefront of enterprise quantum security deployment.FURTHER READING: https://equity-insider.com/2025/03/18/is-scope-technologies-corp-cse-scpe-otcqb-scpcf-the-next-big-player-in-quantum-cybersecurity/CONTACT:

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 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 per share will differ from such shares used to calculate diluted earnings 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 (collectively referred to as adjusted operating cash flow), 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, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating 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. As part of the Company's ongoing cash and commercial management strategy with customers and suppliers and as previously disclosed, the Company's standard practice since the time of the Company's spin-off from International Business Machines Corporation is to actively manage the Company's working capital, including accounts receivables and accounts payables. This includes optimizing payment terms and conditions, accelerating certain cash receipts and delaying certain cash payments (including deferring vendor payments quarter to quarter), and undertaking other discretionary cash and working capital management initiatives. The magnitude of these practices (including deferrals) has varied from quarter to quarter and impacted the Company's cash flows (and related non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow), including positively in certain periods. The effects of these practices have been and are reflected in the Company's accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash flow balance, which are accounted for in accordance with GAAP. The Company's working capital and cash flows have also reflected the impact of accrued contract costs in certain periods due to the timing of vendor billings. The Company may, from time to time, revise or adapt the Company's cash and working capital management practices as it deems appropriate. Free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as well as the free cash flow guidance and adjusted free cash flow targets included in this press release or the Company's other earnings materials, reflect the historical and expected application of these practices.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.Reconciliation of net income

Kyndryl Launches AI-Powered Digital Twin for the WorkplaceApril 9, 2026 9:15 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Built on Microsoft Foundry, Kyndryl's solution helps enterprises predict, prevent and resolve technology disruptions NEW YORK, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today announced the Kyndryl Digital Twin for the Workplace, a new AI-powered capability designed to help organizations avoid workflow disruption by anticipating and resolving technology issues. Built on Microsoft Foundry, the solution combines predictive intelligence, automation, and operational insight to address one of the most critical challenges of the digital workplace — improving the employee experience through automated IT service operations.
With Kyndryl Digital Twin for the Workplace, organizations can detect and address employee technology issues proactively. The capability continuously analyzes signals from employee devices, applications and workplace locations. The solution then automatically triggers alerts, recommends corrective actions and dispatches support resources before a system freezes or fails. By resolving issues behind the scenes, the solution helps keep employees productive and operations running smoothly."As a company, we sit squarely at the intersection of people, places, and technology, where real work happens, not just systems," said Michael Przytula, Digital Workplace Practice Leader, Kyndryl. "At Kyndryl, we're moving beyond reactionary support toward predictive experience engineering, turning experience data into foresight and real business impact from day one. This isn't just about optimizing tools; it is about elevating human work itself, anticipating friction before users feel it, mobilizing insights into action, and unlocking value that transforms how organizations work in the real world."Today's enterprises face a growing Digital Workplace challenge: employee productivity increasingly depends on complex, interconnected technology, yet most IT organizations still rely on reactive, break-fix support models. Issues are often discovered only after employees are impacted — leading to lost productivity, frustrated workers and disrupted operations.In mission-critical environments such as airports, even minor technology disruptions can have major downstream effects. For instance, a slow or unstable gate agent workstation can force employees to move terminals to keep flights on schedule — creating friction for staff and customers alike. This example reflects a broader challenge facing organizations across industries: how to dynamically support a distributed, technology-dependent workforce at scale, instead of waiting to repair systems after they break.The Kyndryl Digital Twin for the Workplace creates a virtual representation of how work happens across an organization. The unified view of workplace health and performance allows IT teams to see where work is being slowed, what is causing it and how to fix it before employees are affected. This is done using simulated user personas and aggregated patterns, not individual employee tracking, enabling privacy by design.Running on Microsoft Azure, the Kyndryl Digital Twin for the Workplace utilizes Microsoft Foundry to orchestrate its advanced AI capabilities. By combining Kyndryl's deep expertise in digital workplace operations with Microsoft's AI platform, organizations can move beyond experimentation to production-ready AI-driven workplace solutions, including:Agentic AI optimization: AI agents autonomously identify issues, recommend fixes, and validate outcomesLocation-aware workplace health: Real-time visibility into the digital performance of specific offices or regionsSmarter asset and logistics planning: Integrates with inventory and supply chain systems to predict hardware refresh needs and optimize stock placementThe launch builds on a year of significant momentum for Kyndryl's digital workplace offerings, including recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Outsourced Digital Workplace Services for the second time. The Kyndryl Digital Twin for the Workplace also serves as the next evolution of the Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub, launched in late 2025, extending Kyndryl's AI-powered capabilities to transform workplace operations.Learn more about the Kyndryl Digital Twin for the Workplace.About Kyndryl Kyndryl (NYSE: KD) is a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, offering advisory, implementation and managed service capabilities to thousands of customers in more than 60 countries.

Kyndryl launches Agentic Service Management to power AI-native infrastructure services and intelligent workflowsApril 2, 2026 12:01 AM
PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today launched its Agentic Service Management, which combines a maturity model, structured assessments and implementation blueprints to help enterprises transition from traditional service operations to autonomous, intelligent workflows at scale. Kyndryl's Agentic Service Management assesses alignment with emerging industry standards and governance frameworks for AI-native environments, allowing customers to adopt agentic IT service management with security and reliability as design principles.
Today's IT systems were not designed for agentic AI—creating a growing gap between what AI systems can do and what enterprise environments can reliably support. According to the Kyndryl Readiness Report, while more than two-thirds of organizations are investing heavily in AI, nearly half struggle to achieve meaningful returns. This is often because their governance, workflows and controls remain rooted in the pre-AI era."Most enterprise environments were built for people running tickets and tools, not for fleets of autonomous agents executing tasks across hybrid and multi-cloud estates—and this mismatch is limiting AI from moving out of pilots to outcomes," said Kris Lovejoy, Global Head of Strategy, Kyndryl. "You can't scale agentic workflows on top of operating models that were designed for manual work. Organizations need clear controls, repeatable practices and measurable stages of adoption so AI agents can act autonomously where appropriate—while people remain accountable for governance, risk and service outcomes."Kyndryl's Agentic Service Management draws upon decades of experience managing mission-critical infrastructure for thousands of organizations, the Company's intellectual property and its experience implementing agentic AI into its own service delivery operations. The approach helps organizations close the gap between AI innovation and operational readiness.Building a maturity path to agentic IT service management
Offered through Kyndryl Consult, the Agentic Service Management maturity assessment evaluates an organization's current state and prioritizes gaps across service management, AI governance, security and operations. The assessment helps customers review their existing policies, controls and workflows against relevant standards and frameworks to determine readiness for agentic operations—pursuant to ISO 42001. Kyndryl then delivers a tailored gap analysis and a phased roadmap to help customers adopt agentic IT service management responsibly, with guardrails and human oversight to support autonomous capabilities across cloud-native and AI-native environments.Also available as a standalone service is Kyndryl Agentic AI Digital Trust, which supports Agentic Service Management and helps enterprises govern, reduce risk and scale agentic AI deployments across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Kyndryl Agentic AI Digital Trust provides a security-first framework for managing how AI agents operate, particularly in regulated industries where data protection, compliance and classification are essential.Applying Agentic AI to IT Service Delivery
Kyndryl is also applying its Agentic Service Management internally to modernize how it delivers IT services to customers. Through Kyndryl Bridge, several of these capabilities are available today to Kyndryl's customers, enriching operational intelligence and augmenting the people responsible for oversight and decision-making across mission-critical systems. Kyndryl's agentic AI capabilities build on the Company's existing automation foundation, which currently executes nearly 200 million automations each month through more than 8,000 certified playbooks.Learn more about Kyndryl Agentic Service Management.About Kyndryl

Kyndryl and University of Liverpool to Spearhead Health Innovation with Agentic AIFebruary 24, 2026 4:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Collaboration combines Kyndryl's AI Innovation Lab and Kyndryl Consult AI expertise with the University of Liverpool's Civic Health Innovation Labs and AI for Life FrontierKyndryl Agentic AI Framework and the University's research expertise will be applied to co-develop blueprints for next-generation healthcare technologiesLONDON, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl, a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, and the University of Liverpool's Civic Health Innovation Labs (CHIL), will collaborate to explore how emerging AI technologies could be utilized to strengthen future healthcare services.
Through the initiative, Kyndryl and the University plan to co-develop blueprints for next-generation healthcare technologies, using Kyndryl's Agentic AI Framework and the University's research expertise. In phase one, the collaboration aims to generate and evaluate conceptual AI projects with the potential to evolve and improve patient interaction. Potential areas of collaboration include the development of conversational AI services, such as voice agents, to help patients record how they feel, how well they use medicines, and how to make the best use of the NHS and social care services.The projects launched under the collaboration between Kyndryl and the University will contribute to a shared library of innovation-ready models for future use, and where appropriate will draw upon population health datasets and testbed environments such as Data-into-Action, CHI-Zone, Civic Data Cooperative, M-RIC, and SDE."The work of CHIL and the University's AI for Life Frontier is grounded in mobilising data, data science, and AI engineering to improve people's lives in the Liverpool City Region and beyond, by tackling big health problems such as the pressures health systems world-wide face as more people spend more of their lives in ill health, especially in disadvantaged communities," said Professor Iain Buchan, W.H. Duncan Professor of Public Health Systems, Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Innovation, CHIL Director. "This collaboration with Kyndryl allows us to explore potential AI futures that could enable health systems to offer more preventive and personalized care, whilst targeting scarce resources to better help the most vulnerable in society. Together, we are building a pipeline of ideas and AI prototypes that can shape the future of healthcare in ways the public trust and influence.""It's no secret that our area has some of the widest health disparities in the country," said Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region. "In some of our communities, people can expect to live 15 years less than those in the most affluent areas. That's not right - and it's something we must change. Our area is fortunate to have access to world-class health expertise in our universities, and now that we have a global tech giant like Kyndryl on our team, we have the capability to turn their research into real-life impact: creating better health services for our 1.6 million residents and beyond. This is exactly the kind of partnership I want to see more of in our region - where AI is used for good to strengthen and support our communities. I'm really excited to see where this partnership goes.""At Kyndryl, we believe technology should serve people and solve real-world challenges," said Jonathan Ingram, President, Kyndryl UK&I. "Our collaboration with CHIL at the University of Liverpool reflects a shared commitment to shaping AI that improves access to care and strengthens public services. By combining academic insight with our Agentic AI Framework, we are laying the groundwork for solutions that can make a lasting positive impact on the future of healthcare services."Kyndryl's AI innovation lab in Liverpool, launched May 2025, will play a central role in the collaboration. Drawing on the deep technical expertise of Kyndryl Consult in multi-agent optimization and conversational AI, the lab is designed to develop solutions that address many industries, including healthcare, by addressing real-world health challenges, particularly those faced by digitally excluded or underserved populations.The collaboration aligns with the Liverpool City Region's Life Sciences Innovation Zone, part of the Government's national Investment Zone Programme, positioning the city region as a powerhouse for health and life sciences innovation.About Kyndryl

Kyndryl launches Cyber Defense Operations Center to unify enterprise IT operationsFebruary 19, 2026 12:01 AM
PR Newswire (US)
New command hub in India combines network and security operations to improve resilience, speed response and strengthen complianceNEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl, a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today launched its first Cyber Defense Operations Center, a next-generation command hub that unifies network operations and security operations into a single, integrated operating model. The new Center is located in Bengaluru, India, providing global customers with deep cybersecurity and network operations expertise to accelerate incident response, resilience, and overall IT performance.
Enterprises are increasingly confronted by rising IT complexity — including AI-driven cyber risks, costly downtime, and growing expectations for continuous service delivery, and they face mounting pressure to deliver always-on, highly secure digital services. According to the 2025 Kyndryl Readiness Report, only 31% of organizations are ready for external business risks, citing technology complexity as a top barrier to scaling AI. This shift is being accelerated by the rise of agentic AI operating autonomously across cloud, data centers, and edge environments, making it untenable for network and security operations to function in isolation."As AI adoption surges and hybrid IT environments become more distributed, enterprises face faster, more intelligent cyber risks — and a growing shortage of skilled talent to manage them," said Paul Savill, Global Cyber Security and Resiliency, Network and Edge Practice Leader, Kyndryl. "Kyndryl's Cyber Defense Operations Center introduces a unified, agile operating model that combines AI-enabled insights with deep networking and security expertise, helping customers strengthen resilience, accelerate incident response, and increase end-to-end visibility across the IT ecosystem."Kyndryl's Cyber Defense Operations Center breaks down traditional silos to deliver real-time visibility, unified monitoring, and collaborative analysis across the network and security landscape. Featuring end-to-end services — spanning advisory, design and implementation, and managed operations — the Center helps enterprises modernize and operate their IT environments with greater security, efficiency, and uptime.Kyndryl's approach offers a unique combination of capabilities, supported by the Company's global network of security and network specialists trained to operate complex, mission-critical environments at scale, including:AI-enabled assessment services – The Kyndryl Agentic AI Framework is embedded into the network security assessment services to evaluate customer environments, identify operational and security gaps, and prioritize remediation — creating a data-driven roadmap for modernization and managed operations.Role-based operational dashboards and collaboration – Persona-driven dashboards provide tailored, real-time insights for executives, security and network teams, incident commanders, and DevSecOps leaders — improving visibility and collaboration across roles.Automated end-to-end operations at scale – Integrated runbooks, security telemetry, playbooks, and rationalized toolsets reduce manual handoffs, and alert fatigue to accelerate detection and response while providing Zero Trust support.Kyndryl's Cyber Defense Operations Center builds upon the company's established global footprint of security operations centers and network operations centers located across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. The Center will be integrated into Kyndryl Bridge, the company's AI-powered open-integration platform, to provide a single operational view of network and security telemetry. Together, these centers provide 24x7 monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and network performance management for customers worldwide. Kyndryl plans to expand the Center beyond the India location to support growing global demand and accelerate adoption of Kyndryl's integrated operating model.The new Center is the latest addition to Kyndryl's robust portfolio of network and security services designed for the AI era — including advanced data center networking, secure access service edge (SASE), and quantum-safe networking services.Learn more about Kyndryl's security and resiliency services and network and edge services.About Kyndryl

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current assumptions and beliefs regarding future business and financial performance and the matters discussed in this press release.The Company's actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others: the timing, scope and completion of the ongoing review described in the SEC Filing and any results thereof; the timing of the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; failure to attract new customers, retain existing customers or sell additional services to customers; failure to meet growth and productivity objectives and maintain our capital allocation strategy; competition; impacts of relationships with critical suppliers and partners; failure to address and adapt to technological developments and trends; inability to attract and retain key personnel and other skilled employees; impact of economic, geopolitical, public health and other conditions; damage to the Company's reputation; inability to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts; service delivery issues; the Company's ability to successfully manage acquisitions and dispositions, including integration challenges, failure to achieve objectives, the assumption of liabilities and higher debt levels; the Company's ability to refinance maturing debt on favorable terms in a timely manner, or at all; failure of the Company's intellectual property rights to prevent competitive offerings and the failure of the Company to obtain, retain and extend necessary licenses; the impairment of our goodwill or long-lived assets; risks relating to cybersecurity, data governance and privacy; risks relating to non-compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and changes in laws, regulations and policies in the U.S. and countries where the Company and its customers do business, including with respect to tariffs, taxes and other controls on imports or exports; adverse effects from tax matters; legal proceedings and investigatory risks; the impact of changes in market liquidity conditions and customer credit risk on receivables; the Company's pension plans; the impact of currency fluctuations; and risks related to the Company's common stock and the securities market.Additional risks and uncertainties include, among others, those risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and may be further updated from time to time in the Company's subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement in this press release or related conference call speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In this press release, certain amounts may not add due to the use of rounded numbers; percentages presented are calculated based on the underlying amounts. Forecasted amounts are based on currency exchange rates as of January 2026.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn 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 and additional information about our calculation 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. Investor Contact:

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 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 per share will differ from such shares used to calculate diluted earnings 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. As part of the Company's ongoing cash and commercial management strategy with customers and suppliers and as previously disclosed, the Company's standard practice since the time of the Company's spin-off from International Business Machines Corporation is to actively manage the Company's working capital, including accounts receivables and accounts payables. This includes optimizing payment terms and conditions, accelerating certain cash receipts and delaying certain cash payments (including deferring vendor payments quarter to quarter), and undertaking other discretionary cash and working capital management initiatives. The magnitude of these practices (including deferrals) has varied from quarter to quarter and impacted the Company's cash flows (and related non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow), including positively in certain periods. The effects of these practices have been and are reflected in the Company's accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash flow balance, which are accounted for in accordance with GAAP. The Company's working capital and cash flows have also reflected the impact of accrued contract costs in certain periods due to the timing of vendor billings. The Company may, from time to time, revise or adapt the Company's cash and working capital management practices as it deems appropriate. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the free cash flow guidance and adjusted free cash flow targets included in this press release or the Company's other earnings materials, reflect the historical and expected application of these practices.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.
