Alight, Inc. (NYSE:ALIT), a leading benefits administration provider of health, wealth and leave solutions, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Rohit Verma, Chief Executive Officer of Alight, commented, "Our second quarter results once again exceeded expectations for both total revenue and adjusted EBITDA and our business remained highly cash generative. These results continue to give us a platform to build and execute our long-term strategy for profitable growth and strengthening our leadership position in the benefits market.

"During the quarter, we continued strengthening our management ranks, created significant market traction on modernization initiatives we have underway, and completed the important step of insourcing critical client service functions that had been outsourced. Our investment focus remained on leveraging AI to further improve user experience and service excellence, which we believe will ultimately drive client retention and growth.

"As we move through our operational transformation, we expect that the back half of the year will be impacted by the commercial execution experienced in 2025 and seasonally higher expenses in Q3. That said, our liquidity remains strong to support the continued implementation of our strategy to achieve long-term sustainable growth. We are encouraged by the early results from our enhanced customer engagement and account management efforts. These improvements are helping us build deeper, more strategic client partnerships that we believe will support stronger retention and contribute to future performance."

NOTE: the information contained in this earnings release reflects the impact of the previously announced 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company's Class A common stock, Class B non-voting common stock (including the Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock) and Class V common stock (including treasury shares), effective on June 30, 2026. All share and per share amounts contained in this earnings release have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Revenue decreased 3.2% to $511 million, as compared to $528 million in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower net commercial activity, partially offset by an increase in project revenue. Recurring revenues were 92.2% of total revenue.

Gross profit was $142 million, or 27.8% of revenue, compared to $176 million, or 33.3% of revenue in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to lower revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $21 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower severance and other restructuring costs.

Interest expense of $24 million increased $2 million from the prior year. The increase was due to higher interest expense net of swaps.

The Company’s loss from continuing operations before income tax was $19 million compared to a loss from continuing operations before income tax of $1,076 million in the prior year. The improvement was primarily attributable to the $983 million non-cash goodwill impairment in the prior year and the non-operating fair value remeasurements of the tax receivable agreement and financial instruments.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $215 million, total debt was $1,996 million and total debt net of cash and cash equivalents was $1,781 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

The Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release, including: Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin. Please see below for additional information and for reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance our investors’ and lenders’ understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items, that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations divided by revenue. Both Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures used by management and our stakeholders to provide useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods as well as to evaluate our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations, which is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for intangible amortization and the impact of certain non-cash items, that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a non-GAAP financial measure used solely for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of shares of Alight Inc. common stock, diluted. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations is used by us and our investors to evaluate our core operating performance and to benchmark our operating performance against our competitors.

Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities net of capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make strategic acquisitions and investments and for certain other activities such as dividends and stock repurchases.

Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as revenue less cost of services adjusted for depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. Management uses Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin as key measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. We believe that presenting Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allows a direct comparison between periods.

Revenue Under Contract is an operational metric that represents management’s estimate of anticipated revenue expected to be recognized in the period referenced based on available information that includes historical client contracting practices. The metric does not reflect potential future events such as unexpected client volume fluctuations, early contract terminations or early contract renewals. Our metric may differ from similar terms used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
