Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
On July 29, 2019, the Company acquired First Data Corporation (“First Data”) by acquiring 100% of the First Data stock that was issued and outstanding as of the date of acquisition for a total purchase price of $46.5 billion (see Note 4). First Data provides a wide-range of solutions to merchants, including retail point-of sale (“POS”) merchant transaction processing and acquiring, e-commerce services, mobile payment services and the cloud-based Clover® point-of-sale operating system, as well as technology solutions for bank and non-bank issuers. The consolidated financial statements include the financial results of First Data from the date of acquisition.
Segment Realignment
Effective in the first quarter of 2020, the Company realigned its reportable segments to correspond with changes to its operating model to reflect its new management structure and organizational responsibilities (“Segment Realignment”) following the acquisition of First Data. The Company’s new reportable segments are: Merchant Acceptance (“Acceptance”), Financial Technology (“Fintech”) and Payments and Network (“Payments”). Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been restated to reflect the Segment Realignment. See Note 22 for additional information.2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Control is normally established when ownership and voting interests in an entity are greater than 50%. Investments in which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, for which the Company’s share of net income or loss is reported within income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the related tax expense or benefit is reported within the income tax provision(provision) benefit in the consolidated statements of income. Significant influence over an affiliate’s operations generally coincides with an ownership interest in an entity of between 20% and 50%. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company maintains a majority controlling interestsinterest in certain entities, mostly related to consolidated merchant alliances (see Notes 4 and 21)Note 18). Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ share of the net income or loss and equity in consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s noncontrolling interests presented in the consolidated statements of income include net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and reflect the minority shareholders’ share of acquired fair value in the consolidated subsidiaries along with their proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the subsidiaries, net of dividends or distributions.carrying value. Noncontrolling interests that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control are presented outside of equity and are carried at their estimated redemption value if it exceeds the initial carrying value of the redeemable interest (see Note 12)9).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties
In December 2019, aSince early 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identifiedpandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, and has since continued to spread and negatively impact the economy of the United States and other countries around the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic,various measures imposed by the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken actions to prevent theits spread, of COVID-19, such as imposing travel restrictions and bans, quarantines, social distancing guidelines, shelter-in-place or lock-down orders and other similar limitations. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has adverselyhave negatively impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets during 2020.
Global economic and market conditions, impactincluding levels of consumer and business spending. Consequently, the Company’s operating performance, primarily within its merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees, has been adversely affected, and may continue to be adversely affected, by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent ofCompany has continued to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its consolidated financial statements and has determined that there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies, including estimates and assumptions made by management, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s future operational and financial performance will depend on, among other matters, the duration and intensity of the pandemic; governmental and private sector responses to the pandemic and the impact of such responses on the Company; and the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s employees, clients, vendors, operations and sales, all of which areremains uncertain and cannot be predicted. These changingChanging conditions may also affect the estimates and assumptions made by management. Such estimatesmanagement and assumptions affect, among other things, the valuations of the Company’s long-lived assets, definite-lived intangible assets and equity method investments; the Company’s deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances; the estimate of current expected credit losses; and certain pension plan assumptions. To the extent economic and market conditions do not continue to improve or deteriorate, the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic and market decline may also impact the assumptions used in the Company’s annual impairment assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2020. Changes in any assumptions used may result in a goodwillan impairment or other charge that, if incurred, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, total assets and total equity in the period recognized.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost in the consolidated balance sheets, which approximates market value. Cash and cash equivalents that were restricted from use due to regulatory or other requirements are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $14 million and $40$13 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company analyzes the collectability of trade accounts receivable by considering historical bad debts, client creditworthiness, current economic conditions, expectations of near term economic trends, changes in client payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses.accounts. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable may result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $47$55 million and $39$48 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
Settlement Assets and Obligations
Settlement assets and obligations result from timing differences between collection and fulfillment of payment transactions primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring services. Settlement assets represent cash received or amounts receivable from agents, payment networks, bank partners or directly from consumers. Settlement obligations represent amounts payable to merchants and payees. Certain merchant settlement assets that relate to settlement obligations are held by partner banks to which the Company does not have legal ownership but has the right to use the assets to satisfy the related settlement obligations. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations for amounts payable to merchants and for outstanding payment instruments issued to payees that have not yet been presented for settlement.
Reserve for Merchant Credit Losses
With respect to the Company’s merchant acquiring business, the Company’s merchant customers have the legal obligation to refund any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. However, in the event the Company is not able to collect the refunded amounts from the merchants, the Company may be liable for the reversed charges. The Company’s risk in this area primarily relates to situations where the cardholder has purchased goods or services to be delivered in the future. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize this obligation. Collateral held by the Company is classified within settlement assets and the obligation to repay the collateral is classified within settlement obligations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. Despite these efforts, the Company experiences some level of losses due to merchant defaults.
The aggregate merchant credit losses, included within cost of processing and services in the consolidated statements of income, incurred by the Company was $35$11 million and $89$24 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $17$33 million and $54 million for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2021 and 2020, respectively. The amount of collateral held by the Company was $982 million$2.3 billion and $510 million$1.2 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Company maintains reserves for merchant credit losses that are expected to exceed the amount of collateral held. The reserves include an estimated amount for anticipated chargebacks and fraud events that have been incurred on merchants’ payment transactions that have been processed but not yet reported to the Company (“IBNR Reserve”), which is recorded within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as an allowance on refunded amounts to cardholders that have not yet been collected from the merchants.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, determined to be at an operating segment level orwhich is one level below. When assessing goodwill forbelow the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s most recent annual impairment the Company considers (i) the amount of excess fair value over the carrying value of each reporting unit, (ii) the period of time since a reporting unit’s last quantitative test, (iii) the extent a reorganization or disposition changes the composition of one or more of the reporting units and (iv) other factors to determine whether or not to first perform a qualitative test. When performing a qualitative test, the Company assesses numerous factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair valueassessment of its reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. Examples of qualitative factors that the Company assesses include its share price, its financial performance, market and competitive factors in its industry and other events specific to its reporting units. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing reporting unit carrying values to estimated fair values.
The Company performed its annual assessment of its reporting units’ goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 0 impairment was identified. In connection with the Segment Realignment described above, certain of the Company’s reporting units have changed in composition in which goodwill was allocated to such reporting units using a relative fair value approach. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment in the first quarter of 2020 for those reporting units impacted by the Segment Realignment, and determined that its goodwill was not impaired basedas the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values. However, it is reasonably possible that future developments related to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain of the Company’s businesses acquired and recorded at fair value through the acquisition of First Data Corporation (“First Data”) in July 2019, such as an assessmentincreased duration and intensity of various qualitative factors as described above.the pandemic and/or government-imposed shutdowns, prolonged economic downturn or recession, or lack of governmental support for recovery, could have a future

Other Investments
The Company maintains investments in various equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments totaled $165$122 million and $167$160 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, and are included within other long-term assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews these investments each reporting period to determine whether an impairment or observable price change for the investment has occurred. When such events or changes occur, the Company evaluates the fair value compared to its cost basis in the investment. Gains or losses from a change in fair value are included within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income for the period. AdjustmentsDuring the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company remeasured its equity interest in Ondot Systems, Inc. (“Ondot”) to fair value upon acquiring a remaining ownership interest in January 2021, resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $12 million (see Note 4). Other adjustments made to the values recorded for these equity securities during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020, were not significant.

In 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with the additional disclosures required to be applied prospectively and the modified and removed disclosures required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13” or “CECL”), which prescribes an impairment model for most financial instruments based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this model, an estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of the instrument is to be recorded as of the end of a reporting period as an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial instrument. For public entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. For most instruments, entities must apply the standard using a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 using the required modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a cumulative-effect decrease to beginning retained earnings of $45 million. Financial assets and liabilities held by the Company subject to the “expected credit loss” model prescribed by CECL include trade and other receivables, net investments in leases, settlement assets and other credit exposures such as financial guarantees not accounted for as insurance.

In 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which introduces a number of amendments that are designed to simplify the application of accounting for income taxes. Such amendments include removing certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocation, interim reporting when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss, reflecting the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate and recognition of deferred taxes related to outside basis differences for ownership changes in investments. ASU 2019-12 also provides clarification related to when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction. In addition, ASU 2019-12 provides guidance on the recognition of a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and accounting for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax.

Contract assets, reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily result from revenue being recognized where payment is contingent upon the transfer of services to a customer over the contractual period. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers (deferred revenue) for which transfer of control occurs, and therefore revenue is recognized, as services are provided. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognized $424$350 million of revenue during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Acquisition of First DataOndot
On July 29, 2019,January 22, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of First Data,acquired a global leaderremaining ownership interest in commerce-enabling technology and solutionsOndot, a digital experience platform provider for merchants, financial institutions, and card issuers, by acquiring 100%for approximately $271 million, net of the First Data stock that was issued and outstanding as$13 million of the date of acquisition. The acquisition increases the Company’s footprint as a global payments and financial technology provider by expanding the portfolio of services provided to financial institutions, corporate and merchant clients, and consumers.
As a result of the acquisition, First Data stockholders received 286 million shares of common stock of Fiserv, Inc., at an exchange ratio of 0.303 shares of Fiserv, Inc. for each share of First Data common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.acquired cash. The Company also converted 15 million outstanding First Datapreviously held a noncontrolling equity awards into corresponding equity awards relating to common stock of Fiserv, Inc.interest in accordance with the exchange ratio. In addition, concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, the Company made a cash payment of $16.4 billion to repay existing First Data debt.Ondot, which was accounted for at cost. The Company funded the transaction-related expenses and the repayment of First Data debt through a combination of available cash on-hand and proceeds from debt issuances.

The total purchase price paid for First Data is as follows:

Ondot is included within the Payments segment and further expands the Company’s common stock on July 26, 2019, the last trading day before the acquisition closed the morningdigital capabilities, enhancing its suite of July 29, 2019. This includes a nominal amount of cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.integrated payments, banking and merchant solutions.
(2)Represents the portion of the fair value of the replacement awards related to services provided prior to the acquisition. The remaining portion of the fair value is associated with future service and will be recognized as expense over the future service period.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is primarily attributed to synergies from future expected economic benefits, including enhanced revenue growth from expanded capabilities and geographic presence as well as substantial cost savings from duplicative overhead, streamlined operations and enhanced operational efficiency.
The assets and liabilities of First Data have been measured at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. During the current year through the measurement periodthree months ended July 29, 2020,June 30, 2021, the Company identified and recorded measurement period adjustments to the preliminary Ondot purchase price allocation, which were the result of additional analysis performed and information identified based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. These measurement period adjustments resulted in an increasea decrease to goodwill of $304$33 million. The offsetting amounts to the change in goodwill were primarily related to an increase in acquired software and technology of $30 million, customer relationship intangible assets, noncontrolling interests, property and equipment, payables and accrued expenses including legal contingency reserves,relationships of $15 million and deferred income taxes.tax liabilities of $12 million.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income and cost approaches. In many cases, the determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, growth and attrition rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental. The fair value measurements werevaluations. Goodwill, not deductible for tax purposes, is primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, technology and trade names were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”), or the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, both are forms of the income approach. A cost and market approach was applied, as appropriate, for property and equipment, including land.
Customer relationship intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The significant assumptions used include the estimated annual net cash flows (including appropriate revenue and profit attributableattributed to the asset, retention rate, applicable tax rate,anticipated value created by the combined scale of integrated digital solutions to consumers, merchants, acquirers, networks and contributory asset charges, among other factors), the discount rate, reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flow stream, an assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and the tax amortization benefit, among other factors.

The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used, as appropriate, for property and equipment. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation.
The market approach, which estimates value by leveraging comparable land sale data/listings and qualitatively comparing them to the in-scope properties, was used to value the land.
An income approach was applied to derive fair value for both consolidated investments with a noncontrolling interest and equity method investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The significant assumptions used include the estimated annual cash flows, the discount rate, the long-term growth rate and operating margin, among other factors.

Dispositions

Effective July 1, 2020, the Company and Bank of America (“BANA”) dissolved the Banc of America Merchant Services joint venture (“BAMS” or the “joint venture”), of which the Company maintained a 51% controlling ownership interest. Upon the dissolution of the joint venture’s operations, the joint venture transferred a proportionate share of value, primarily the client contracts, to each party via an agreed upon contractual separation. The remaining activities of the joint venture will consist of supporting the transition of the business to each party and an orderly wind down of remaining BAMS assets and liabilities. Pursuant to the separation agreement, the joint venture retains the responsibility for certain contingencies that may arise from pre-dissolution activities, including potential credit losses for specified merchants in excess of established reserves and certain legal claims and contingencies. The Company may be obligated to fund a proportionate share of any such losses as incurred.

The transfer of value to BANA was accounted for at fair value as a non pro rata distribution of nonmonetary assets, resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $36 million, with a related tax expense of $13 million. The pre-tax gain included the revaluation of client contracts allocated to BANA to a fair value of $700 million, as well as an estimated $24 million for certain additional consideration due from the Company to BANA in connection with the dissolution. The pre-tax net gain is recorded within gain on sale of businesses and the tax expense is recorded within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. Noncontrolling interests of the Company have been reduced by $726 million and the Company’s additional paid-in capital was reduced by $36 million to account for the wind down of the joint venture and the transfer of a proportionate share of the joint venture’s fair value to BANA (see Note 13). The transfer of value to the Company was accounted for at carryover basis as the Company maintains control of such assets. The business transferred to the Company will continue to be operated and managed within the Company’s Acceptance segment.

The fair value of the client contracts upon dissolution of the joint venture was determined using the MEEM method, a form of the income approach. The determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, growth and attrition rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental in nature. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The significant assumptions used include the estimated annual net cash flows (including appropriate revenue and profit attributable to the asset, retention rate, applicable tax rate, and contributory asset charges, among other factors), the discount rate, reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flow stream, an assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and the tax amortization benefit, among other factors.

Lease Payment Receivables Portfolio
The Company accounts for lease payment receivables in connection with POS terminal equipment as a single portfolio. The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses on lease payment receivables at the commencement date of the lease by considering the vintage, geography and internal credit risk ratings of such lease. The internal credit risk ratings are established based on lessee specific risk factors, such as FICO score, number of years the lessee has been in business and the nature of the lessee’s industry, which are considered indicators of the likelihood a lessee may default in the future. The established reserve for estimated credit losses on lease payment receivables upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 was $56 million. Such reserve for estimated credit losses at September 30, 2020 was $60 million.
The Company determines delinquency status on lease payment receivables based on the number of calendar days past due. The Company considers lease payments that are 90 days or less past due as performing. Lease payments that are greater than 90 days past due are placed on non-accrual status in which interest income is no longer recognized. Lease payment receivables are fully written off in the period they become delinquent greater than 180 days past due. The amortized cost balance of net

The Company may, at its option, redeem the senior notes, in whole or from time to time in part, at any time prior to the applicable maturity date.

Industry Trends
The global payments landscape continues to evolve, with rapidly advancing technologies and a steady expansion of digital payments, e-commerce, and innovation in real-time payments infrastructure. Because of this growth, competition also continues to evolve. Business and consumer expectations continue to rise, with a focus on convenience and security. To meet these

TableThe rapid growth in and globalization of Contentsmobile and e-commerce, driven by consumers’ desire for simpler, more efficient shopping experiences, has created an opportunity for merchants to reach consumers in high-growth online and mobile settings, which often requires a merchant acquiring provider to enable and optimize the acceptance of payments. Merchants are demanding simpler, integrated, and modern POS systems to help manage their everyday business operations. When combined with the ever-increasing ways a consumer can pay for goods and services, merchants have sought modern POS systems to streamline this complexity. Furthermore, merchants can now search, discover, compare, purchase and even install a new POS system through direct, digital-only experiences. This direct, digital-only channel is quickly becoming a source of new merchant acquisition opportunities, especially with respect to smaller merchants.
In addition, there are numerous software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions in the industry, many of which have chosen to integrate merchant acquiring within their software as a way to further monetize their client relationships. SaaS solutions that integrate payments are often referred to as independent software vendors, and we believe there are thousands of these potential distribution partnership opportunities available to us.
We believe that our merchant acquiring products and solutions create compelling value propositions for merchant clients of all sizes, from small and mid-sized businesses to medium-sized regional businesses to global enterprise merchants, and across all verticals. Furthermore, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with valued partnerships with merchant acquiring businesses of small, medium and large financial institutions, and non-financial institutions, gives us a solid foundation for growth.
Financial Institutions
The market for products and services offered by financial institutions continues to evolve rapidly. The traditional financial industry and other market entrants regularly introduce and implement new payment, deposit, risk management, lending and investment products, and the distinctions among the products and services traditionally offered by different types of financial institutions continue to narrow as they seek to serve the same customers. At the same time, the evolving global regulatory and cybersecurity landscape has continued to create a challenging operating environment for financial institutions. These conditions are driving heightened interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue, comply with regulations and enhance operating efficiency. Examples of these solutions include electronic payments and delivery methods such as internet, mobile and tablet banking, sometimes referred to as “digital channels”.channels.”
The focus on digital channels by both financial institutions and their customers, as well as the growing volume and types of payment transactions in the marketplace, continues to elevate the data and transaction processing needs of financial institutions. We expect that financial institutions will continue to invest significant capital and human resources to process transactions, manage information, maintain regulatory compliance and offer innovative new services to their customers in this rapidly evolving and competitive environment. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house technology to outsourced solutions as they seek to remain current on technology changes in an evolving marketplace. We believe that economies of scale in developing and maintaining the infrastructure, technology, products, services and networks necessary to be competitive in such an environment are essential to justify these investments, and we anticipate that demand for products that facilitate customer interaction with financial institutions, including electronic transactions through digital channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us.
In addition to the trends described above, the financial institutions marketplace has experienced change in composition as well. During the past 25 years, the number of financial institutions in the United States has declined at a relatively steady rate of approximately 3% per year, primarily as a result of voluntary mergers and acquisitions. Rather than reducing the overall market, these consolidations have transferred accounts among financial institutions. If a client loss occurs due to merger or acquisition, we receive a contract termination fee based on the size of the client and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. These fees can vary from period to period.period with the variance depending on the quantum of financial institution merger activity in a given period and whether or not our clients are involved in the activity. Our focus on long-term client relationships and recurring, transaction-oriented products and services has also reduced the impact that consolidation in the financial services industry has had on us. We believe that the integration of our products and services creates a compelling value proposition for our clients by providing, among other things, new sources of revenue and opportunities to reduce their costs. Furthermore, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with our position as a leading provider of non-discretionary, recurring revenue-based products and services, gives us a solid foundation for growth.

Our operating performance is subject to global economic and market conditions, as well as their impacts onincluding levels of consumer and business spending. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in global economic activity, we have experienced a significant decrease in payments volume and transactions that has negatively impactedConsequently, our operating performance, primarily within our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees, as well as modest declines in other businesses. Merchant acquiringhas been adversely affected, and payment volumes beganmay continue to recover in May 2020 and continued to improve into July 2020, with stabilized growth rates thereafter. While these recent business trends demonstrated positive momentum, the uncertainty causedbe adversely affected, by the pandemic creates an economic environment where our future financial results remain difficult to anticipate.
In response toimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic, wepandemic. Such uncertainty remains despite improving trends in global economic activity and market conditions.
We have taken several actions since the onset of the pandemic to protect the health, safety and well-being of our employees while maintaining business continuity. These actions include, among others, requiring a majority of our employees to work remotely, limiting or suspendingeliminating non-essential travel, suspending all non-essentiallimiting visitors to our facilities, disinfecting facilities and workspaces extensively and frequently, providing personal protective equipment to associates and requiring employees who must beare present at our facilities to adhere to a variety of safety protocols. In addition, we have expanded paid time-off for employees impacted by COVID-19, provided increased pay for certain employees involved in critical infrastructure who could not work remotely, and expanded our Fiserv Cares program to benefit employees in need around the world. We recently began a limited reopening of our offices and expect to continue suchto gradually reopen additional facilities during the second half of 2021 while observing appropriate safety measures for the foreseeable futuremeasures.
Our operating performance is subject to global economic and may take further actions, or adapt these existing policies, as government authorities may require or recommend or as we may determine to be in the best interest of our employees, clients and vendors.
We have also taken several actions to manage discretionary costs including, among others, limiting third-party spending and the temporary suspension of certain employee-related benefits, including company matching contributions to the Fiserv 401(k) Savings Planmarket conditions, as well as their impacts on levels of consumer and business spending. As a result of the discount on shares purchased underCOVID-19 pandemic and the Fiserv, Inc. Amendedrelated decline in global economic activity, we experienced a significant decrease in payments volume and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan fortransactions beginning in late March 2020 that negatively impacted our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees, as well as modest declines in other businesses. Merchant acquiring transaction and payment volumes began to partially recover throughout the remainder of 2020 with continued transaction and payment volume growth through the second quarter of 2021. Accordingly, our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses were less impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first six months of 2021 than they were throughout most of fiscal 2020. In addition, we are reassessingWhile this recent business trend is positive, the uncertainty caused by the pandemic continues to create an economic environment where our future financial results remain difficult to anticipate. We currently expect payments volume and deferring certain capital expenditures that were originally planned for 2020. We willtransactions to continue to monitorimprove throughout 2021, consistent with consumer and assess developments relatedbusiness spending experienced to COVID-19 and implement appropriate actions to minimize the risk to our operations of any material adverse developments. Ultimately, thedate.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operational and financial performance will depend on, among other matters, the duration and intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic; governmental and private sector responses to the pandemic and the impact of such responses on us; the level of success of global vaccination efforts; and the impact of the pandemic on our employees, clients, vendors,supply chain, operations and sales, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Interest on our U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes is paid semi-annually, while interest on our foreign currency-denominatedEuro and British Pound-denominated senior notes is paid annually. Interest on our revolving credit facility and commercial paper notes is generally paid weekly, or more frequently on occasion, and interest on our term loansloan is paid monthly. Our 4.75% seniorOutstanding borrowings under the commercial paper notes due in June 2021 wereprogram are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as we have the intent to refinance this debtthese notes on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper notes upon maturity, and we also have the ability to do sorefinance such notes under our revolving credit facility. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2023.
During the first nine months of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to meet future debt covenant requirements will depend onrepay our continued ability to generate earnings and cash flows. As described below, the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty as to general economic and market conditions for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. We expect to remain in compliance with all terms and conditions associated with our outstanding debt, including financial debt covenants.

Variable Rate Debt
At September 30, 2020, we had $2.5 billion of variable rate debt, which included $1.8 billion of outstanding term loan borrowings and $500 million under our accounts receivable securitization facility, as described below, and certain foreign and other lines of credit. In addition, we maintain a $3.5 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. There were $219 million of outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2020. Outstanding borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements on the revolving credit facility, which matures in September 2023. The outstanding principal balance on the term loan of $1.8 billion is due at maturity in July 2024. The variable interest rate was 1.18% on the revolving credit facility borrowings and 1.40% on the term loan borrowings at September 30, 2020. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facility contain various substantially similar, restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to:to (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to either four times or fourno more than three and one-half times our consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and expenses and certain other adjustments (“EBITDA”) for a specifiedduring the period followingof four fiscal quarters then ended, subject to certain acquisitionsexceptions, and (ii) maintain consolidated EBITDA of at least three times our consolidated interest expense as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of four fiscal quarters then ended.

During the first six months of 2021, we electedwere in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to increasemeet future debt covenant requirements will depend on our continued ability to generate earnings and cash flows. We expect to remain in compliance with all terms and conditions associated with our outstanding debt, including financial debt covenants.

In connection with the acquisition of First Data, we assumedWe maintain certain short-term lines of credit with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund settlement activity. These arrangements are primarily associated with our international operations and are in various functional currencies, the most significant of which areis the Australian dollar, Polish zloty and Argentine peso.
We had amounts outstanding on these lines of credit totaling $121 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 15.8% at September 30, 2020.
Receivable Securitized Loan
In connection with the acquisition of First Data, we acquiredmaintain a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, First Data Receivables, LLC (“FDR”). FDR is a party to certain receivables financing arrangements, including an agreement (“Receivables Financing Agreement”) with certain financial institutions and other persons from time to time party thereto as lenders and group agents, pursuant to which certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have agreed to transfer and contribute receivables to FDR, and FDR in turn may obtain borrowings from the financial institutions and other lender parties to the Receivables Financing Agreement secured by liens on those receivables. FDR’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of any other of our entities or affiliates, and FDR’s creditors would be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of FDR’s assets prior to any assets or value in FDR becoming available to us. The receivables held by FDR are recorded within trade accounts receivable, net in our consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2020, FDR held $799 million$1.1 billion in receivables as part of the securitization program. The maximum borrowing capacity, subject to collateral availability, under the Receivables Financing Agreement at September 30, 2020 was $646 million. FDRprogram, and utilized the receivables as collateral in borrowings of $500$425 million at an average interest rate of 1.00%, at SeptemberJune 30, 2020. The term of2021. At June 30, 2021, the collateral capacity under the Receivables Financing Agreement is through July 2022.was $840 million, and the maximum borrowing capacity was $500 million.
Beginning in May 2021, we have maintained a U.S. unsecured commercial paper notes program with various maturities ranging from one to three weeks. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper notes bear interest based on the prevailing rates at the time of issuance.
We maintain an amended and restated revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments available for $3.5 billion of total capacity. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and term loan bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or a base rate, plus, in each case, a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements on the revolving credit facility.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to cash are considered to be cash equivalents. At SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we held $937$841 million and $893$906 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Employee Termination Costs
In connection with the acquisition of First Data, we continue to implement certain integration plans focused on reducing our overall cost structure, including reducing vendor spend and eliminating duplicate costs. We recorded $28 million and $105 million of employee termination costs related to severance and other separation costs for terminated employees in connection with the acquisition of First Data during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Accrued employee severance and other separation costs of $25 million at September 30, 2020 are expected to be paid within the next twelve months. We continue to evaluate operating efficiencies and anticipate incurring additional costs in connection with these activities but are unable to estimate those amounts at this time as such plans are not yet finalized.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty as to general global economic and market conditions for the remainder of 2020 and beyond.conditions. We believe we have adequate capital resources and sufficient access to external financing sources to satisfy our current and reasonably anticipated requirements for funds to conduct our operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of our business. However, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations further evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. The ability to continue to service debt and meet lease and other obligations as they come due is dependent on our continued ability to generate earnings and cash flows. A lack of continued recovery or further deterioration in economic and market conditions could materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations.
We engage in regular communication with the banks that participate in our revolving credit facility. During these communications, none of the banks have indicated that they may be unable to perform on their commitments. We periodically review our banking and financing relationships, considering the stability of the institutions, pricing we receive on services, and other aspects of the relationships. Based on these communications and our monitoring activities, we believe the likelihood of one of our banks not performing on its commitment is remote. We maintain a U.S. commercial paper notes program to access funding for general corporate purposes at favorable rates and to provide a source of liquidity. As evidenced byof June 30, 2021, we had a commercial paper credit rating of P-2 from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and A-2 from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P). Any downgrade to our May 2020 seniorcommercial paper credit ratings or instability in the commercial paper markets may adversely impact our ability to access funding through our commercial paper notes offering described above,program and require us to rely more heavily on more expensive financing arrangements, including our revolving credit facility. In addition, the long-term debt markets have historically provided us with a source of liquidity. Although we do not currently anticipate an inability to obtain financing from long-term debt markets in the future, the COVID-19 pandemic could make financing more difficult and/or expensive to obtain. Our ability to access the long-term debt markets on favorable interest raterates and other terms also depends on the ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies to our indebtedness. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had a corporate credit rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and BBB with a stable outlook from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services.S&P. In the event that the ratings of our outstanding long-term debt securities were substantially lowered or withdrawn for any reason, or if the ratings assigned to any new issue of long-term debt securities were significantly lower than those noted above, particularly if we no longer had investment grade ratings, our ability to access the debt markets maycould be adversely affected and our interest expense wouldcould increase under the terms of certain of our long-term debt securities.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, indices, correlations or other market factors, such as liquidity, will result in losses for a certain financial instrument or group of financial instruments. We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily tofrom fluctuations in interest rate risk and market price risk on outstanding debt, investments of subscriber fundsrates and foreign currency.currency exchange rates. Our senior management actively monitors these risks.
Interest Rate Risk
We manage our debt structure and interest rate risk through the use of fixed- and variable-rate debt. Based on our outstanding debt balances and interest rates at September 30, 2020, a 1% increase in variable interest rates would increase annual interest expense by approximately $26 million.

Table of Contents
In connection with processing electronic payments transactions, the fundsAdditional information about market risks to which we receive from subscribers are invested into short-term, highly liquid investments from the time we collect the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. A 1% decrease in variable interest rates would decrease annual interest-related income related to settlement assets by approximately $30 million over the next twelve months.
Foreign Currency Risk
We conduct business globally and are exposed, to foreign currency risk from changes in the value of underlying assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investments and foreign currency transactions. We manage the exposure to these risks through the use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and non-derivative net investment hedges.
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our non-U.S. operations to the extent they are conducted in local currency. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 14% and 13%, respectively, of our total revenue was generated outside the U.S. The major currencies to which our revenues are exposed are the Euro, the British Pound, the Indian Rupee and the Argentine Peso. A movement of 10% in foreign currency rates against the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies in which our revenue and profits are denominated at September 30, 2020 would have resulted in an increase or decrease in our reported pre-tax income of approximately $12 million as follows:

We have entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency exposure to our operating costs in India. At September 30, 2020, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $206 million. In addition, we designated our foreign currency-denominated senior notes as net investment hedges to reduce exposure to changes in the value of our net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors included as Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020, the following additional risk factors have become material to us since the filing of our Form 10-K.
Our business has been, and is likely to continue to be, adversely impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and has since continued to spread and negatively impact the economy of the United States and other countries around the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing travel restrictions and bans, quarantines, social distancing guidelines, shelter-in-place or lock-down orders and other similar limitations. Accordingly, the pandemic has adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets during 2020.
Our operating performance is subject to global economic and market conditions, as well as their impacts on levels of consumer spending. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in global economic activity, our operating performance, primarily within our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees, has been adversely affected. The pandemic may continue to negatively impact transaction volumes, create economic uncertainty, reduce economic activity, increase unemployment and cause a decline in consumer and business confidence, and could in the future further negatively impact the demand for our products and services, including merchant acquiring and payment processing and the sales and implementation of information technology projects. Ultimately, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operational and financial performance will depend on, among other matters, the duration and intensity of the pandemic; governmental and private sector responses to the pandemic and the impact of such responses on us; and the impact of the pandemic on our employees, clients, vendors, operations and sales, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Additional factors that could negatively impact us include:
payment processing risks associated with disruptions to merchant activity and business failures including chargeback risk. As an unprecedented number of merchants have been required to suspend their operations, there may be an increase in consumer chargebacks associated with processed transactions that merchant clients have submitted but have not fulfilled. Merchants may be unable to fund these chargebacks, potentially resulting in losses to us;
client payment risks. Clients may require additional time to pay us or fail to pay us at all, which could significantly increase the amount of accounts receivable and require us to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts. If clients cease operations or file for bankruptcy protection, we may experience lower revenue and earnings and have greater exposure to future transaction declines;
increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt to profit from the disruption given increased online banking, e-commerce and other online activity;
disruption to our supply chain and third-party delivery service providers if the factories that manufacture our products or facilities that support our operations are disrupted, temporarily closed or experience workforce shortages. We could experience hardware shortages of point-of-sale devices manufactured in China as well as workforce shortages at our and third-party customer support, software development or technology hosting facilities, including those in India where the government has instituted broad stay at home orders;
increased risk of failing to meet client contractual obligations, including due to government orders or other restrictions that limit or prohibit us from providing client-facing services from regular service locations or the failure of our business continuity plans, which could cause loss of revenue, contractual penalties or potential legal disputes and associated costs;
challenges to the availability and reliability of our solutions and services due to changes to normal operations, including the possibility of one or more clusters of COVID-19 cases occurring at our data centers, contact centers or operations centers, affecting our employees or affecting the systems or employees of our clients or other third parties on which we depend.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices, including requiring a majority of our employees to work remotely, limiting or suspending non-essential travel, suspending all non-essential visitors to our facilities, disinfecting facilities and workspaces extensively and frequently, providing personal protective equipment to associates and requiring employees who must be present at our facilities to adhere to a variety of safety protocols. We expect to continue such safety

measures for the foreseeable future and may take further actions, or adapt these existing policies, as government authorities may require or recommend or as we may determine to be in the best interest of our employees, clients and vendors. Such measures may impact our productivity or effectiveness, and there is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the risks to the health of our employees posed by the pandemic. Further, the ability of our employees to get to work has been disrupted across multiple locations, both with respect to their own offices and client sites, due among other things to government work and travel restrictions, including mandatory shutdowns.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state, local and foreign governments have issued emergency orders and a significant number of new laws and regulations in a short period of time. These actions have impacted our current operations, including with respect to collection and consumer credit reporting activities, and we have experienced an increased volume of client support requests because many of the new laws impact our clients. We could be required to expend additional resources and incur additional costs to address regulatory requirements applicable to us or our clients, and we may not have the capacity to implement necessary changes within the times prescribed by applicable laws. There could be government initiatives to reduce or eliminate payments, costs or fees to merchants or fees or other sources of revenue to financial institutions. Regulations may be unclear, difficult to interpret or in conflict with other applicable regulations. As a result, we may have to make judgments about how to comply with these new laws and regulators may not ultimately agree with how we implement applicable regulations. Failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new, varying or more restrictive laws and regulations by federal, state, local or foreign governments, may result in financial penalties, lawsuits, reputational harm or change the manner in which we currently conduct some aspects of our business. In addition, during times of economic stress, there tends to be greater regulatory and governmental scrutiny of actions taken in response to such stress and an increased risk of both governmental and third party litigation.
A lack of further recovery or deterioration in economic and market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to generate earnings and cash flows sufficient to service debt and meet lease and other obligations as they come due or to meet our financial debt covenants. The pandemic could also make obtaining financing more difficult or expensive, and our ability to access the long-term debt markets on favorable interest rate and other terms will depend on market conditions and the ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies to our indebtedness.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and we do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business or the global economy as a whole. The extent to which the pandemic or any resulting worsening of the global business and economic environment adversely impacts our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic (including whether there are continued waves of infections), the actions to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time. Even after the pandemic subsides, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including due to a continued or prolonged recession in the U.S. or other major economies.
There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impacts are highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition and heighten or exacerbate risks described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
