Pro forma financial information This presentation also includes certain pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial information is unaudited an d i s presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the relevant transactions had been consummated on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results.

Non - GAAP financial measures Financial information contained in this presentation includes certain financial measures that are calculated and presented on th e basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States of America (GAAP), such as pro forma adjusted free cash flows, constant cur ren cy, pro forma adjusted pretax income, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin and proforma adjusted pretax margin, which include or exclude certain items from the most di rec tly comparable GAAP financial measure. These non - GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP measures and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period - over - per iod comparisons and are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing Kyndryl’s expected ongoing operating performance. Exclusion of items in our non - GA AP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non - recurring. Definitions of the non - GAAP measures are included in the appendix of this prese ntation. A reconciliation of non - GAAP financial measures for historical periods to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure appears in the appendix to this presentation. Any non - GAAP financial measure used in this presentation is in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of forward - looking non - GAAP financial information is not included in this presentation because the individual components of such non - GAAP reconciliation are not currently available without unreason able effort. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Metric Definition Pro forma adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, early extingui shm ent of debt charges, workforce rebalancing and restructuring charges, transaction - related and integration - related items, impairment charges, foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries , significant litigation costs, pension, stock - based compensation expense and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted to exclude excess cost allocations from IBM, incremental costs to support i nde pendence and growth and other adjustments related to commercial pricing to arrive at pro forma adjusted EBITDA. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing pro forma adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, by pro forma revenue. Management uses pro forma adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin to evaluate our performance. Management also u ses these metrics when publicly providing our business outlook. We believe they are a helpful supplemental measure to assist investors in evaluating our operating results as they exclude certa in items whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business. Additionally, this metric reflects the portion of the IBM business that was convey ed to Kyndryl and the ongoing effects of the spin - off - related transactions. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin are financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP and sh ould not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Pro forma adjusted pretax income and pro forma pretax margin Pro forma adjusted pretax income is defined as pretax income excluding transaction - related and integration - related items, excess cost allocations from IBM, incremental costs to support independence and growth, and other adjustments related to commercial pricing, pension, stock - based compensation and workforce rebalancing and res tructuring charges. Pro forma adjusted pretax margin is calculated by dividing pro forma adjusted pretax income, as defined above, by pro forma r eve nue. Management uses pro forma pretax income and pro forma pretax margin to evaluate our performance. Management also uses it when pu blicly providing our business outlook. We believe pro forma adjusted pretax income and pro forma pretax margin are helpful supplemental metrics for investors in evaluating our operating pe rformance because they can be used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially fro m c ompany to company. Pro forma pretax income and pro forma pretax margin eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to core business performance. Additionally, this metric reflects t he portion of the IBM business that was conveyed to Kyndryl and the ongoing effects of the spin - off related transactions. Pro forma adjusted pretax income is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a s a n alternative to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Pro forma adjusted free cash flow Pro forma adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations after adding back workforce rebalancing payments, a dju stments related to commercial pricing arrangements with IBM, adjustments for contracts not novated to Kyndryl and other adjustments less net capital expenditures. Management uses pro forma 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 pro forma adjusted free cash flow is a useful supplemental financial measure to aid investors in assessing our ability to pursue bus iness opportunities and investments and to service our debt. Pro forma adjusted free cash flow is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alte rna tive to cash flows from operations or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Pro forma signings Signings are defined by Kyndryl as an initial estimate of the value of a customer’s commitment under a contract. We calculate th is 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 trea ted as signings only to the extent of the incremental new value. Signings can vary over time. Pro forma signings represent signings excluding certain IBM MIS agreements that will not transfer to Kyndryl plus signings re lat ed to cloud and security. Management believes that the estimated value of signings provide insight into the Company’s potential future revenue and that IB M management historically used 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 exist ing customer base, as well as viewed signings as useful decision - making information for investors. 17 Definitions and rationale for non - GAAP metrics
