Second Quarter 2025 Results
Revenue decreased 1.9% to $528 million, as compared to $538 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily due to lower project revenue and net commercial activity. Recurring revenues were 93.2% of total revenue.
Gross profit was $176 million, or 33.3% of revenue, compared to $167 million, or 31.0% of revenue in the prior year period. The change in gross profit was primarily due to productivity savings.
Selling, general and administrative expenses improved $16 million when compared to the prior year period. This was due to lower professional fees incurred related to the sale and separation of the Payroll & Professional Services business and a reduction in compensation expenses primarily related to non-cash share-based awards.
During the quarter, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment of $983 million relating to the Health Solutions reporting unit after evaluating macroeconomic and industry conditions, and the market valuation of the Company. This non-cash charge does not impact future operations.
Interest expense of $22 million improved $11 million from the prior year period. Interest expense benefited from the repricing of the 2028 term loan and the $740 million debt pay down in the third quarter of 2024.
The Company’s loss from continuing operations before income tax was $1,076 million compared to a loss from continuing operations before income tax of $2 million in the prior year period. This was primarily attributable to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Health Solutions reporting unit, non-operating fair value remeasurements of financial instruments and the tax receivable agreement, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower interest expense as a result of the debt pay down and other income recorded in conjunction with the transition services agreement entered into with the purchaser of the divested Payroll & Professional Services business.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $227 million, total debt was $2,015 million and total debt net of cash and cash equivalents was $1,788 million.
Partnering with Goldman Sachs Asset Management
Today, the Company announced it is partnering with Goldman Sachs Asset Management to advance Alight's wealth solutions offerings. Leveraging the Alight Worklife® platform, Goldman Sachs Asset Management will serve as a sub-advisor for the Alight Financial Advisors Defined Contribution solution and the recently introduced Alight IRA solution. With Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s broad experience in the retirement space and scalable technology, Alight is able to bring additional value to clients while expanding the options of its benefits portfolio, enabling growth in a new category.
Business Outlook
“The positive impact of our transformational initiatives should enable us to deliver strong profitability and cash flow aligned to our outlook. We feel good about the operational levers within our control and are tracking to another strong year of client retention rates, though we refined our top-line forecast due to deals taking longer to close in the current environment which is temporarily delaying planned growth. Our pipeline remains strong, particularly for deals in the later stages, and we continue to see good progress with prospective clients,” said Guilmette.
The Company's 2025 outlook includes:
- Revenue of $2,282 million to $2,329 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $620 million to $645 million.
- Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.58 to $0.64.
- Free cash flow of $250 million to $285 million.
Reconciliations of the historical financial measures used in this press release that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") are included below. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information
The Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press 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.
