Global Business Services (GBS)

GBS revenue decreased 2.4% year-over-year, including an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 2.9%. GBS revenues increased 0.5% year-over-year at constant currency as a result of continued growth in our Enterprise and Cloud applications business and contributions from acquisitions. This was offset by continued headwinds in our traditional application maintenance and management business. GBS profit margin in the quarter was 17.0%, down from 18.2% in the prior year, reflecting investments to support Digital hiring and capabilities. New business awards for GBS were $2.4 billion in the first quarter.

GIS revenues decreased 11.0% year-over-year, including an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 3.4%. GIS revenues decreased 7.6% year-over-year at constant currency as a result of the acceleration of client savings on several large contracts as well as continued decline in our IT outsourcing services business as clients shift to cloud environments. GIS profit margin in the quarter was 12.4%, down from 15.4% in the prior year, reflecting investments in the business and less impact from cost improvement actions. New business awards for GIS were $1.8 billion in the first quarter.

Segment Results

The following table summarizes segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018:

We define segment profit as segment revenues less costs of services, segment selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and other income (excluding the movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our 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.

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 before income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, constant currency revenues and net debt-to-total capitalization.

We present these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with meaningful supplemental financial information, in addition to the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. DXC management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the financial performance of DXC exclusive of the impacts of corporate wide strategic decisions. DXC management believes that adjusting for these items provides investors with additional measures to evaluate the financial performance of our business operations on a comparable basis from period to period. DXC management believes the non-GAAP measures provided are also considered important measures by financial analysts covering DXC as equity research analysts continue to publish estimates and research notes based on our non-GAAP commentary, including our guidance around non-GAAP EPS targets.

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items from GAAP results which DXC management believes are not indicative of operating performance such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and transaction, separation and integration-related costs.

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 intangibles 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 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.

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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXC's non-GAAP adjustments include:

• Restructuring costs - reflects costs, net of reversals, related to workforce optimization and real estate charges.
• Transaction, separation and integration-related costs - reflects costs related to integration planning, financing, and advisory fees associated with the HPES Merger and other acquisitions and costs related to the separation of USPS.
