NEW YORK, May 16, 2023 — Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KD), the world’s largest IT infrastructure services provider, today released financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the fourth quarter of its 2023 fiscal year.
“We delivered strong financial results in the fourth quarter, and we solidified our leadership position in infrastructure services throughout fiscal year 2023,” said Kyndryl Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Martin Schroeter. “We are successfully leveraging our alliances with leading technology providers, driving quality and efficiency through advanced delivery of our services, and positioning our business for margin expansion.
“This year, we will accelerate our transformation, double down on our three-A’s strategy, grow Kyndryl Consult, provide exceptional service to our customers, expand our margins and create more value for shareholders.”
Results for the Fiscal Fourth Quarter Ended March 31, 2023
For the fourth quarter, Kyndryl reported revenues of $4.3 billion, a year-over-year decline of 4% and a 1% increase in constant currency. The Company reported a pretax loss of $288 million and a net loss of $737 million, or $(3.24) per diluted share, in the quarter, compared to a net loss of $229 million in the prior-year period. The pretax loss in the quarter included transaction-related costs, workforce rebalancing charges and lease-exit costs, as discussed below.
Adjusted pretax loss was $61 million, compared to adjusted pretax loss of $51 million in the prior-year period. Currency movements had a negative year-over-year impact of approximately $22 million on adjusted pretax loss. Adjusted EBITDA of $476 million compares to $536 million of adjusted EBITDA in the prior-year period, primarily driven by unfavorable currency movements of approximately $44 million and anticipated software cost increases of $50 million.
Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2023
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, Kyndryl reported revenues of $17.0 billion, a decline of 7%, or unchanged in constant currency, compared to the year ended March 31, 2022. The Company reported a pretax loss of $851 million in fiscal year 2023, which included transaction-related costs, workforce rebalancing charges and lease-exit costs, as discussed below. The Company had a net loss of $1.4 billion and net margin of (8.1%) for the year, compared to a net loss of $2.0 billion in the year ended March 31, 2022. Cash flows from operations were a source of cash of $781 million.
Kyndryl reported adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 billion in fiscal year 2023, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 billion in the year ended March 31, 2022. The Company had an adjusted pretax loss of $217 million in fiscal 2023, compared to an adjusted pretax loss of $356 million in the year ended March 31, 2022. Adjusted free cash flow was $352 million in fiscal year 2023.
“Our progress in fiscal year 2023 demonstrated that we’re executing a powerful strategy to move our business forward,” said Kyndryl Chief Financial Officer David Wyshner. “In fiscal 2024, we’re driving margin expansion through our three-A initiatives as we accelerate our transformation.”
Recent Developments
- Alliances initiative – Kyndryl signed contracts tied to cloud hyperscaler alliances with an aggregate value of $1.2 billion in fiscal year 2023, exceeding its $1 billion target for the year. Kyndryl also expanded its cloud-related capabilities, with 35,000 hyperscaler certifications among its employees at the end of the fiscal year, a 100% year-over-year increase.
- Advanced Delivery initiative – The Company has redeployed more than 5,500 delivery professionals to serve new revenue streams and backfill attrition. This will generate annualized savings of approximately $275 million, exceeding the Company’s $200 million fiscal 2023 year-end objective.
- Accounts initiative – Kyndryl continued to address elements of its business with substandard margins, bringing the total impact from this initiative to approximately $210 million of annualized benefits, surpassing the Company’s $200 million fiscal 2023 year-end goal.
Primarily due to the Accounts initiative, the projected margins associated with signings in fiscal 2023 increased meaningfully compared to the prior year, reflecting Kyndryl’s emphasis on winning profitable business and its strategic willingness as an independent company to turn away low- and no-margin business.
- Transaction-related costs – Kyndryl’s reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year reflect $45 million and $264 million, respectively, of transaction-related costs. These included systems-migration and employee-retention costs associated with the Company’s spin-off. Transaction-related cash outlays for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year were $56 million and $363 million, respectively.
- Workforce rebalancing and lease-exit costs – Kyndryl recorded workforce rebalancing charges of $55 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and expects to incur additional charges of approximately $95 million in fiscal year 2024 related to actions to rebalance its employee population and drive efficiencies. These actions are expected to produce cost savings of approximately $150 million in fiscal year 2024 and $200 million in fiscal year 2025, most of which are incremental to the benefits from the three-A initiatives.
The Company also recorded costs related to ceasing to use leased and fixed assets of $70 million for the quarter and $80 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. The full or partial exit from more than 50 sites is expected to produce cost savings of approximately $50 million in fiscal year 2024.
Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook
Kyndryl is providing the following outlook for its fiscal year 2024, which runs from April 2023 to March 2024:
- Revenue growth of (6%) to (8%) in constant currency compared to revenue of $17.0 billion in fiscal 2023, with most of the decline due to accelerated actions by Kyndryl to reduce certain low-margin revenue streams. Based on recent exchange rates, the Company’s outlook implies fiscal 2024 revenue of $16.0 to $16.4 billion. The Company continues to expect to return to positive revenue growth in calendar year 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12% to 13%, an increase of 40 to 140 basis points compared to 11.6% in fiscal 2023.
- Adjusted pretax margin of 0% to (1%), an increase of 30 to 130 basis points compared to (1.3%) in fiscal 2023.
The Company also expects to deliver continued progress on its three-A initiatives:
- Revenue related to cloud hyperscaler alliances of more than $300 million.
- Cumulative annualized benefits from Advanced Delivery of approximately $450 million by March 2024.
- Cumulative annualized benefits from its Accounts initiative of approximately $400 million by March 2024.
Forecasted amounts are based on currency exchange rates as of May 2023.

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 EBITDA margin, adjusted pretax margin 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 individual components of such reconciliation are not currently available without unreasonable effort. For the same reason, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

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 improves 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.
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, charges related to ceasing to use leased / fixed assets, charges related to lease termination, pension costs other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, workforce rebalancing charges, impairment expense, significant litigation costs and foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries. Adjusted pretax margin is calculated by dividing adjusted pretax income, as defined above, 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 termination, transaction-related costs, pension costs other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, workforce rebalancing charges, impairment expense, significant litigation costs, and foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities (GAAP) after adding back transaction-related payments, charges related to lease termination, workforce rebalancing payments and significant litigation payments, less net capital expenditures. Management uses adjusted free cash flow as a measure to evaluate its operating results, plan strategic investments and assess our ability and need to incur and service debt. We believe adjusted free cash flow is a useful supplemental financial measure to aid investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service our debt. Adjusted free cash flow is a financial measure that is 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. 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. 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 as a tool to monitor the performance of the business including the business’ ability to attract new customers and sell additional scope into our existing customer base.
