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 six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 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, 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 ~~interests~~interest in certain entities, mostly related to consolidated merchant alliances (see Note ~~19)~~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 the consolidated subsidiaries net 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 ~~10)~~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

Since early 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, and various measures imposed by the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions to prevent its spread, have negatively impacted global economic and market conditions, including 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 Company 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 remains uncertain and cannot be predicted. Changing conditions may also affect the estimates and assumptions made by management and may result in an 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. Events and changes in circumstances arising subsequent to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, including those resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods.

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 $13 million at ~~each of March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company analyzes the collectability of trade accounts receivable by considering historical bad debts, client creditworthiness, current economic trends, changes in client payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful 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 ~~$50~~$55 million and $48 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 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 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 ~~$22~~$11 million and ~~$30~~$24 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $33 million and $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amount of collateral held by the Company was ~~$1.9~~$2.3 billion and $1.2 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 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. The IBNR Reserve,~~merchants, which is recorded within ~~accounts payable~~prepaid expenses and ~~accrued expenses~~other current assets in the consolidated balance ~~sheets,~~sheets. The IBNR Reserve is based primarily on the Company’s historical experience of credit losses and other relevant factors such as economic downturns or increases in merchant fraud. The aggregate merchant credit loss reserve ~~which is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets,~~ was $6059 million ~~and $59 million~~ at each of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2020.

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, which is one level below the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s most recent annual impairment assessment of its reporting units in the fourth quarter of 2020 determined that its goodwill was not impaired as 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 increased duration and intensity of the pandemic and/or government-imposed shutdowns, prolonged economic downturn or recession, or lack of governmental support for recovery, could have a future

material impact on one or more of the estimates and assumptions used to evaluate goodwill impairment. There is 0 accumulated goodwill impairment for the Company through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Other Investments

The Company maintains investments in various equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments totaled ~~$117~~$122 million and $160 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included within other long-term assets in the 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 in the consolidated statements of income for the period. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~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 six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, were not significant.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists of interest expense primarily associated with the Company’s outstanding borrowings and finance lease obligations, as well as interest income primarily associated with the Company’s investment securities. Interest expense, net consisted of the following:

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 2020-01”), which clarifies certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities, investments under the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities under Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815. For public entities, ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2020-01 effective January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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. For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

Table of Contents

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.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the delivery of processing, service and product solutions. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer which may be at a point in time or over time.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s operations are comprised of the Merchant Acceptance (“Acceptance”) segment, the Financial Technology (“Fintech”) segment and the Payments and Network (“Payments”) segment. Additional information regarding the Company’s business segments is included in Note ~~20.~~19. The tables below present the Company’s revenue disaggregated by type of revenue, including a reconciliation with its reportable segments. The majority of the Company’s revenue is earned domestically, with revenue generated outside the United States comprising approximately 14% and 12% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 13% of total revenue infor each of the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:


(In millions)	(In millions)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020		(In millions)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Contract assets	Contract assets	$	479	$	433	Contract assets	$	500	$	433
Contract liabilities	Contract liabilities	745		733		Contract liabilities	705		733

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 ~~$192~~$350 million of revenue during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

The Company applies the optional exemption under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for account- and transaction-based processing fees that qualify for recognition under the as-invoiced practical expedient. These multi-year contracts contain variable consideration for stand-ready performance obligations for which the exact quantity and mix of transactions to be processed are contingent upon the customer’s request. The Company also applies the optional exemptions under ASC 606 and does not disclose information for variable consideration that is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property or that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service in a series. The amounts disclosed above as remaining performance obligations consist primarily of fixed or monthly minimum processing fees and maintenance fees under contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year.

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Ondot

On January 22, 2021, the Company acquired a remaining ownership interest in Ondot, a digital experience platform provider for financial institutions, for approximately ~~$270~~$271 million, net of $13 million of acquired cash. The Company previously held a noncontrolling equity interest in Ondot, which was accounted for at cost. The remeasurement of the Company’s previously held equity interest to its acquisition-date fair value resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $12 million included within other income in the consolidated ~~statement~~statements of income during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Ondot is included within the Payments segment and further expands the Company’s digital capabilities, enhancing its suite of integrated payments, banking and merchant solutions.

During the three months ended 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 a decrease to goodwill of $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 relationships of $15 million and deferred income tax liabilities of $12 million. The Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the intangible assets as a result of additional refinements to valuations, including estimated future cash flows. Such measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

The updated preliminary allocation of purchase price recorded for Ondot was as follows:



(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	13
Receivables and other assets	139
Intangible assets	92142
Goodwill	~~210~~177
Payables and other ~~accrued~~ liabilities	~~(23)~~(35)
Total consideration	$	~~305~~306
Less: Fair value of previously held equity interest	(22)
Total purchase price	$	~~283~~284

The allocation of the purchase price above isremains preliminary and is subject to further adjustment, pending additional refinement and final completion of valuations. Goodwill, not deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the anticipated value created by the combined scale of integrated digital solutions to consumers, merchants, acquirers, networks and card issuers. The preliminary amounts allocated to identifiable intangible assets are as follows:



(In millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Weighted-Average Useful Life
Acquired software and technology	$	6090	6 years
Customer relationships	2035		10 years
Non-compete agreements and other	1217		3 years

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, settlement assets and obligations, accounts payable, and client deposits approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The Company’s derivative instruments are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forwards quoted by banks and foreign currency dealers and are marked to market each period (see Note ~~12)~~11). Contingent consideration related to certain of the

Table of Contents

Company’s acquisitions (see Note 4) is estimated based on the present value of a probability-weighted assessment approach derived from the likelihood of achieving the earn-out criteria. The fair value of the Company’s contingent liability for current expected credit losses associated with its debt guarantees, as further described below, is estimated based on assumptions of future risk of default and the corresponding level of credit losses at the time of default.

The Company’s senior notes are recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair value of senior notes was based on matrix pricing which considers readily observable inputs of comparable securities (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The carrying value of the Company’s ~~term loan credit agreement, revolving credit facility borrowings,~~ foreign lines of credit, ~~and~~ debt associated with the receivables securitization agreement, term loan credit agreement, commercial paper notes and revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value as these instruments have variable interest rates and the Company has not experienced any change to its credit ratings (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The estimated fair value of total debt, excluding finance leases and other financing obligations, was ~~$21.9~~$21.8 billion and $22.5 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and the carrying value was ~~$20.4~~$20.1 billion and $19.9 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company maintains noncontrolling ownership interests in defi SOLUTIONS Group, LLC and Sagent M&C, LLC, respectively, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These joint ventures maintain variable-rate term loan facilities with aggregate outstanding borrowings of ~~$380~~$375 million in senior unsecured debt at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and variable-rate revolving credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $45 million with a syndicate of banks, which mature in March 2023. Outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were $13 million. The Company has guaranteed this debt and does not anticipate that the respective joint ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations. The Company maintains a liability for its non-contingent obligations to perform over the term of the guarantees, which is reported within accounts payable and accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The non-contingent component of the Company’s debt guarantee arrangements is recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The carrying value of the Company’s non-contingent liability of ~~$16~~$14 million and $18 million approximates the fair value at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). Such guarantees will be amortized in future periods over the contractual term. In addition, the Company maintains a contingent liability ($76 million and $8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as reported within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance ~~sheet)~~sheets), representing the current expected credit losses to which the Company is exposed. This contingent liability is estimated based on certain financial metrics of the respective joint ventures and historical industry data, which is used to develop assumptions of the likelihood the guaranteed parties will default and the level of credit losses in the event a default occurs (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). The Company recognized $3 million and $2$4 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $6 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, within other income in its consolidated statements of income related to its release from risk under the non-contingent guarantees as well as a change in the provision of estimated credit losses associated with the indebtedness of the joint ventures. The Company has not made any payments under the guarantees, nor has it been called upon to do so.

In addition, certain of the Company’s non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including property and equipment, lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, goodwill and other intangible assets, and are subject to fair value adjustment in certain circumstances. Additional information about fair value adjustments recorded on a non-recurring basis during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, is included in Note 1413 to the consolidated financial statements.

~~7. Leases~~

Interest income is included within product revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

~~(2)~~Operating lease income includes a nominal amount of variable lease income and is included within product revenue in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

~~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 term, 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 reserve for estimated credit losses on lease payment receivables was $62 million and $64 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

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 investment leases was $238 million and $237 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Le~~ase payment receivables that were determined to be on non-accrual status were nominal at each of~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~and December 31, 2020.~~

Table of Contents

In May 2021, the ~~4.75% senior~~Company initiated a U.S. unsecured commercial paper notes ~~due~~program, the proceeds of which are to be used for general corporate purposes. The Company may issue, from time to time, commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding borrowings under the program were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.182%. The Company intends to maintain available capacity under its revolving credit facility in ~~June 2021 were~~an amount at least equal to the outstanding borrowings under its commercial paper notes program. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper notes program are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as the Company has the intent to refinance ~~this debt~~these notes on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper notes upon maturity, and the Company also has the ability to ~~do so~~refinance such notes under its revolving credit facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes and from the sale of its remaining ownership interest in InvestCloud (see Note 4) to repay outstanding borrowings under its amended and restated revolving credit facility, to repay its 4.750% senior notes that matured in June 2021, and to pay down outstanding borrowings on its term loan facility.

9. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The ~~Company maintains~~minority partners in 2 of the Company’s merchant alliance joint ventures maintain redeemable noncontrolling interests which are presented outside of equity and carried at their estimated redemption values. Each minority partner owns 1% of the equity in the respective joint venture; in addition, each minority partner is entitled to a contractually determined share of the respective entity’s income. The agreements contain redemption features whereby interests held by the minority partner are redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control. The ~~minority interests have a total estimated redemption value of $259 million at March 31, 2021, which~~joint ventures may be terminated by either party for convenience any time after September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the event of termination for cause, as a result of a change in control, or for convenience after the predetermined date, the Company may be required to purchase the minority partner membership interests at a price equal to the fair market value of the minority interest. At June 30, 2021, redeemable noncontrolling interests had a total estimated redemption value of $261 million.

The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency exposure to the Indian Rupee. The notional amount of these derivatives was ~~$257~~$273 million and $259 million, and the fair value totaling $8$5 million and $9 million is reported primarily within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company estimates that it will recognize gains of approximately $7$5 million in cost of processing and services during the next twelve months as foreign exchange forward contracts settle.

~~In March 2019, the~~The Company had previously entered into treasury lock agreements (“Treasury Locks”), designated as cash flow hedges, in the aggregate notional amount of $5.0 billion to manage exposure to fluctuations in benchmark interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of fixed rate debt in connection with the acquisition and refinancing of certain indebtedness of First Data and its subsidiaries. In June 2019, concurrent with the issuance of U.S dollar-denominated senior notes, the Treasury Locks were settled resulting in a payment of $183 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, that will be amortized to earnings over the terms of the originally forecasted interest payments. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $20 million in interest expense, net during the next twelve months related to settled interest rate hedge contracts.

To reduce exposure to changes in the value of the Company’s net investments in certain of its foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses its foreign currency-denominated debt as an

Table of Contents

economic hedge of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries. The Company has designated its Euro- and British Pound-denominated senior notes as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of its net investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro and the British Pound. Accordingly, foreign currency transaction gains or losses on the qualifying net investment hedge instruments are recorded as foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiaries. The Company recorded a foreign currency translation (loss) gain, net of tax, of ~~$32~~$(26) million and ~~$55~~$(1) million in other

~~Table of Contents~~

comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $6 million and $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, from the Euro- and British Pound-denominated senior notes.

~~13.~~12. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized ~~$66~~$61 million and ~~$108~~$94 million of share-based compensation expense during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $127 million and $202 million of share based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the first quarter. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options, restricted stock units and awards and performance share units, ~~and awards,~~ net of estimated forfeitures, of ~~$410~~$373 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.4~~2.2 years.

In addition, the Company recorded share-based compensation costs of $4$1 million and $8$15 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $5 million and $23 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the accelerated vesting of equity awards for terminated employees.

Facility Exit Costs

The Company has identified certain leased facilities that have been or will be exited in the future as part of the Company’s efforts to reduce facility costs. During the first ~~three~~six months of 2021 and 2020, the Company permanently vacated certain of these leased facilities in advance of the non-cancellable lease terms. In conjunction with the exit of these leased facilities, the Company assessed the respective operating lease ROU assets for impairment by comparing the carrying values of the ROU assets to the discounted cash flows from estimated sublease payments (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). In addition, the Company assessed certain property and equipment associated with the leased facilities for impairment. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $6$0 million and $5 million, reported in selling, general and administrative expense within the consolidated ~~statement~~statements of income during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, respectively, and $40 million during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, associated with the early exit of these leased facilities. ~~Facility exit and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were not significant.~~

Other Costs

In connection with initiatives to reduce the Company’s overall cost structure following the acquisition of First Data, the Company ~~has~~ terminated certain of its existing lease agreements to upgrade and consolidate its computing infrastructure. The Company upgraded or replaced certain leased hardware under separate, new lease agreements, resulting in the early termination and disposal of existing hardware under the current lease agreements. As such, the Company ~~has~~ adjusted the amortization period for these existing lease agreements to coincide with the modified remaining term. Finance lease expense during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 ~~includes $38~~included $7 million and $45 million, respectively, of accelerated amortization associated with the termination of these vendor contracts. In addition, the Company executed similar terminations to certain of its existing software financing agreements. Amortization expense during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 ~~includes $10~~included $24 million and $34 million, respectively, of accelerated amortization associated with the termination of these vendor contracts.

~~15.~~14. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax ~~provision~~(provision) benefit and effective income tax rate were as follows:

The income tax ~~provision~~(provision) benefit as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes and income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was ~~5.6%~~48.5% and ~~17.1%~~337.5% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was 31.1% and 11.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 includes $134 million of income tax expense attributed to the revaluation of certain net deferred tax liabilities, primarily related to intangible assets and investments in joint ventures recognized at fair value in connection with the acquisition of First Data, reflecting the effect of enacted corporate income tax rate changes in the United Kingdom (tax rate increase from 19% to 25% starting in 2023) and Argentina (tax rate increase from 25% to 35%), partially offset by decreases in uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the income tax benefit of $27 million on an $8 million loss before income taxes and loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates included equity compensation related tax benefits, changes in uncertain tax positions and other discrete tax items.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes $134 million of income tax expense noted above, partially offset by discrete tax benefits from subsidiary restructurings and equity compensation related tax benefits. The effective income tax rate for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 included ~~$113~~$112 million of income tax expense associated with the ~~$431~~$428 million gain on the sale of a 60% interest of the Company’s Investment Services business (see Note 4), partially offset by the impact of equity compensation related tax ~~benefits.~~benefits on a lower level of pre-tax income and changes in uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s potential liability for unrecognized tax benefits before interest and penalties was approximately ~~$179~~$160 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to ~~$57~~$35 million over the next twelve months as a result of possible closure of federal tax audits, potential settlements with certain states, and the lapse of the statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions.

~~Table of Contents~~

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for ~~2016 through~~2017, 2019 and 2020, and tax returns in certain states and foreign jurisdictions for 2005 through 2020, remain subject to examination by taxing authorities. ~~In connection with the acquisition of First Data, the Company is subject to income tax examination from 2009 forward in relation to First Data’s U.S. federal income tax return.~~ State and local examinations are substantially complete through 2010 in relation to First Data’s state and local tax filings. Foreign jurisdictions generally remain subject to examination by their respective authorities from 2010 forward in relation to First Data’s foreign tax filings, none of which are considered significant jurisdictions.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. In addition, the Company assumed certain legal proceedings in connection with the acquisition of First Data primarily associated with its merchant business including claims related to alleged processing errors and a tax matter. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company resolved a matter with the Federal Trade Commission related to a U.S.-based wholesale independent sales organization resulting in a payment of $40 million, for which the Company previously had accrued.

The Company’s estimate of the possible range of exposure for various litigation matters in excess of amounts accrued is $0 million to approximately ~~$60~~$65 million. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Electronic Payments Transactions

In connection with the Company’s processing of electronic payments transactions, funds received from subscribers are invested from the time the Company collects the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. These subscriber funds are invested in short-term, highly liquid investments. Subscriber funds, which are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, can fluctuate significantly based on consumer bill payment and debit card activity and totaled approximately $1.0 billion and $1.7 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

~~19.~~18. Related Party Transactions

Merchant Alliances

The Company maintains ownership interests of significant influence in various merchant alliances and strategic investments in companies in related markets. A merchant alliance is an agreement between the Company and a financial institution that combines the processing capabilities and management expertise of the Company with the visibility and distribution channel of the financial institution. A merchant alliance acquires credit and debit card transactions from merchants. The Company provides processing and other services to the alliance and charges fees to the alliance primarily based on contractual pricing.

A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted through merchant alliances between the Company and financial institutions. To the extent the Company maintains a controlling financial interest in an alliance, the alliance’s financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company and the related processing fees are treated as an intercompany transaction and eliminated in consolidation. To the extent the Company has significant influence but not control in an alliance, the Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its investment in the alliance. As a result, the ~~Company’s consolidated revenues include~~ processing and other service fees charged to merchant alliances accounted for under the equity ~~method.~~method are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income primarily as processing and services revenue. Such fees totaled $45 million and ~~$46~~$41 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $90 million and $87 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No directors or officers of the Company have ownership interests in any of the alliances. The formation of each of these alliances generally involves the Company and the financial institution contributing contractual merchant relationships to the alliance and a cash payment from one owner to the other to achieve the desired ownership percentage for each. The Company and the financial institution enter into a long-term processing service agreement as part of the negotiation process. This agreement governs the Company’s provision of transaction processing services to the alliance. The Company had ~~$40~~$34 million and $37 million of amounts due from unconsolidated merchant alliances included within trade accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Joint Venture Transition Services Agreements

Pursuant to certain transition services agreements, the Company provides, at fair value, various administration, business process outsourcing, and technical and data center related services for defined periods to certain joint ventures. Amounts transacted

(“New Omaha”), a shareholder of the Company, completed an underwritten secondary public offering of 23.0 million shares of Fiserv, Inc. common stock (the “offering”). The Company did not sell any shares in, nor did it receive any proceeds from, the offering. New Omaha received all of the net proceeds from the offering. In connection with the offering, the Company repurchased from the underwriters 5.0 million shares of its common stock that were subject to the offering, at a price equal to the price per share paid by the underwriters to New Omaha in the offering (the “share repurchase”).

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

2528

Table of Contents

expectations, payments companies are focused on modernizing their technology, expanding the use of data and enhancing the customer experience.

Merchants

The rapid growth in and globalization of mobile 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.”

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 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.

Recent 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, eliminating non-essential travel, ~~suspending all non-essential~~limiting visitors to our facilities, disinfecting facilities and workspaces extensively and frequently, providing personal protective equipment to associates and requiring employees who ~~must be~~are 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 ~~such~~to gradually reopen additional facilities during the second half of 2021 while observing appropriate 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.measures.

Our operating performance is subject to global economic and market conditions, as well as their impacts on levels of consumer and business spending. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in global economic activity, we experienced a significant decrease in payments volume and transactions 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 ~~significantly improved in March~~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 ~~three~~six months of 2021 than they were throughout most of fiscal 2020. While 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 transactions to continue to improve throughout 2021, consistent with consumer and business spending experienced to date.

Since the onset of the pandemic, we have also taken several actions to manage discretionary costs including, among others, limiting the hiring of new employees, limiting third-party spending and the temporary suspension of certain employee-related benefits. We will continue to monitor and assess developments related to the pandemic and implement appropriate actions to mitigate the risk to our operations of any material adverse developments. Ultimately, theThe extent of the impact of the 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; 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.

Changes in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified our critical accounting policies and estimates. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including for recently adopted accounting pronouncements, and base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable in light of current circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ materially from these estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 includes $134 million of income tax expense attributed to the revaluation of certain net deferred tax liabilities, primarily related to intangible assets and investments in joint ventures recognized at fair value in connection with the acquisition of First Data, reflecting the effect of enacted corporate income tax rate changes in the United Kingdom (tax rate increase from 19% to 25% starting in 2023) and Argentina (tax rate increase from 25% to 35%), partially offset by decreases in uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the income tax benefit of $27 million on an $8 million loss before income taxes and loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates included equity compensation related tax benefits, changes in uncertain tax positions and other discrete tax items. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes $134 million of income tax expense noted above, partially offset by discrete tax benefits from subsidiary restructurings and equity compensation related tax benefits. The effective income tax rate for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~ June 30,

2020, included ~~$113~~$112 million of income tax expense associated with the ~~$431~~$428 million gain on the sale of a 60% interest of our Investment Services business, partially offset by the impact of equity compensation related tax ~~benefits. The effective~~benefits on a lower level of pre-tax income and changes in uncertain tax ~~rate is typically lower in the first quarter of the year due to the timing of equity compensation related benefits.~~positions.

Income (Loss) from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our share of net income or loss from affiliates accounted for using the equity method of accounting is reported as 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. Income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, including acquired intangible asset amortization from valuations in purchase accounting, was ~~$16~~$42 million and ~~$(6)~~$(10) million in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $58 million and $(16) million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests relates to the ownership interest of our consolidated alliance partners in our consolidated results. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, including acquired intangible asset amortization from valuations in purchase accounting, was ~~$14~~$15 million and ~~$(15)~~$7 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 and 2020, ~~respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary liquidity needs in the ordinary course of business are to: (i) fund normal operating expenses; (ii) meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness, including finance leases; and (iii) fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, along with our cash and cash equivalents of ~~$831~~$841 million, proceeds from the issuance of U.S. commercial paper notes, and available ~~borrowings~~capacity under our revolving credit facility of ~~$3.0~~$2.4 billion (net of $1.1 billion of capacity designated for outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper notes program) at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Our net cash provided by operating activities, or operating cash flow, was ~~$952 million~~$2.0 billion in the first ~~three~~six months of 2021, an increase of 7%5% compared with ~~$888 million~~$1.9 billion in the first ~~three~~six months of 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to improved operating results compared to the prior period, ~~exclusive of the gain on the sale of a controlling interest of our Investment Services business in February 2020,~~ partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in working capital, including ~~timing of~~increased accounts receivable ~~collections.~~corresponding to revenue growth.

Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to fund capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and to repay debt rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures were approximately 6% and 7% of our total revenue for the first ~~three~~six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Share Repurchases

In May 2021, New Omaha Holdings L.P. (“New Omaha”), a shareholder of ours, completed an underwritten secondary public offering of 23.0 million shares of our common stock (the “offering”). We ~~purchased $612~~repurchased from the underwriters 5.0 million shares of our common stock that were subject to the offering. The share repurchase totaled $588 million and ~~$885 million~~was funded with cash on hand. The repurchased shares were cancelled and no longer outstanding following the completion of the share repurchase.

Including the repurchase described above, we purchased $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion of our common stock during the first ~~three~~six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had approximately ~~60.5~~55.5 million shares remaining under our current repurchase ~~authorizations.~~authorization. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.

Dispositions

Effective July 1, 2020, we and BANA dissolved the BAMS joint venture, of which we maintained a 51% controlling ownership interest. Upon 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. The revenues and expenses of the BAMS joint venture were consolidated into our financial results through the date of dissolution. The business transferred to us ~~will continue to be operated and managed~~is included within our Acceptance segment.

OnIn February ~~18,~~ 2020, we sold a 60% controlling interest of our Investment Services business, subsequently renamed as ~~Tegra118, LLC.~~Tegra118. We received pre-tax proceeds of $584 million, net of related expenses, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of ~~$431~~$428 million, with the related tax expense of ~~$113~~$112 million. The revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Investment Services business were consolidated into our financial results through the date of the sale transaction. The net proceeds from the sale were primarily used to repurchase shares of our common stock. InOn February 2, 2021, Tegra118 completed a merger with a third party, resulting in a dilution of our ownership interest in the combined new entity, Wealthtech Holdings, ~~LLC.~~LLC, which was subsequently renamed as InvestCloud. In connection with the transaction, we made an additional capital contribution, funded under our revolving credit facility, of $200 million into the combined ~~entity.~~entity and recognized a pre-tax gain of $28 million, with a related tax expense of $6 million. In June 2021, we sold our entire ownership interest in InvestCloud for $466 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $33 million, with a related tax expense of $8 million. The net proceeds from the sale were primarily used to pay down the outstanding borrowings on our term loan facility.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our debt consisted primarily of ~~$18.2~~$17.8 billion of fixed-rate senior notes, ~~$511~~$1.1 billion of outstanding borrowings under our U.S. commercial paper notes program, and $755 million~~of borrowings on our revolving credit facility and $1.3 billion~~ of variable rate term loan. Interest on our U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes is paid semi-annually, while interest on our Euro 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 loan is paid monthly. ~~Our 4.75% senior~~Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper notes ~~due in June 2021 were~~program are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as we have the intent to refinance ~~this debt~~these 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 so~~refinance 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~~to repay our 4.750% senior notes that matured in ~~September 2023.~~June 2021, and for other general corporate purposes.

The indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) our ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, (ii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. We may, at our option, redeem the senior notes, in whole or from time to time in part, at any time prior to the applicable maturity date.

Table of Contents

The revolving credit facility and term loan facility contain various restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no 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”) during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) maintain 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

During the first ~~three~~six months of ~~March 31,~~ 2021, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to meet 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.

Variable Rate Debt

Our variable rate debt consisted of the following at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021:

(In millions) Maturity Weighted-Average Interest Rate Outstanding Borrowings
Term loan facility July 2024 1.36% $ 1,250
Revolving credit facility September 2023 1.18% 511
Receivable securitized loan July 2022 0.96% 500
Foreign lines of credit n/a 17.91% 88
Total variable rate debt $ 2,349

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.

U.S. commercial paper program	various	0.18%	1,060
Revolving credit facility	September 2023	—%	—
Total variable rate debt			$	2,371

We 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 ~~are~~is the ~~Australian dollar, Polish zloty, Euro and~~ Argentine peso.

We maintain 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. FDR held ~~$812 million~~$1.1 billion in receivables as part of the securitization program, and utilized the receivables as collateral in borrowings of ~~$500~~$425 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the collateral capacity under the Receivables Financing Agreement was ~~$622~~$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.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we held ~~$831~~$841 million and $906 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty as to general global economic and market 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

However, as the impact of the 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. ~~The~~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 of 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 commercial paper credit ratings or instability in the commercial paper markets may adversely impact our ability to access funding through our commercial paper notes 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 ~~rate~~rates and other terms also depends on the ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies to our indebtedness. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 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 could be adversely affected and our interest expense could 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 from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our senior management actively monitors these risks.

Additional information about market risks to which we are exposed, including discussion of risks and potential risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, is included within Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative analyses about market risk during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.
