Concentrix Corporation:

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Concentrix Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2023 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Company acquired Webhelp during fiscal year 2023, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2023, Webhelp’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of 48.7% (of which 33.3% represented goodwill and intangible assets included within the scope of the assessment) and total revenue of 8.1% included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended November 30, 2023. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Webhelp.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Fair value of acquired intangible assets

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on September 25, 2023, the Company acquired Webhelp in a transaction accounted for as a business combination. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized an acquired customer relationships intangible asset associated with the generation of future income from Webhelp’s existing customers. The acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was $1,882 million.

We identified the evaluation of the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the key assumptions within the discounted cash flows model used to estimate the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset, specifically the revenue growth rate, margin, attrition rate, and discount rate. There was limited observable market information related to these assumptions and the estimated acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was sensitive to minor changes in such amounts. Additionally, the audit effort associated with the estimate required specialized skills and knowledge.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s acquisition-date valuation process, including controls over the key assumptions noted above. We evaluated the Company’s revenue growth rate and margin assumptions by comparing them to Webhelp’s pre-acquisition budget and the Company’s historical financial results. We evaluated the projected attrition rate assumption by comparing it to historical attrition experienced by Webhelp and to the attrition rate assumption used in previous acquisitions made by the Company. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in:

evaluating the discount rate used by comparing it to a discount rate that was developed using publicly available market data for comparable entities

comparing the revenue growth rate, margin, and attrition rate to those of comparable entities

validating the mathematical accuracy of the Company’s calculations to determine the discount rate and attrition rate

Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue

As discussed in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, and presented in the consolidated statement of operations, the Company reported revenue of $7,115 million for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023. Revenue is generated primarily from the provision of Customer Experience solutions and technology to its clients. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts, and accounts for a contract with a client, when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and consideration is probable of collection. The Company operates in over 70 countries across six continents, with significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, Brazil, the United States, Turkey, Colombia, Egypt, the United Kingdom, Morocco, China, and elsewhere throughout EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific.

We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained required especially subjective auditor judgment because of the geographical dispersion of the Company’s revenue generating activities. This included determining the locations for which procedures were performed and evaluating the evidence obtained over revenue.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue, including the determination of the locations at which those procedures were performed. For each location for which procedures were performed, we, where applicable, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the revenue process, including controls related to the appropriate recording of revenue. For a sample of transactions, we compared the amounts recognized as revenue for consistency with relevant underlying documentation, including contracts and other third-party evidence. We evaluated the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained over revenue by assessing the results of the procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence.
