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 nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 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.~~2021.

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~~typically 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 from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the related tax expense or benefit is reported within the income tax provision 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%.; however, for partnerships and limited liability companies, an ownership interest of between 3% and 50% or board of director representation may also constitute significant influence.

The Company maintains a majority controlling financial interest in certain entities, mostly related to consolidated merchant alliances (see 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 attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets. 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 9)10).

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~~continues 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 date as a result of the ~~significant accounting policies, including~~COVID-19 pandemic on the estimates and assumptions made by ~~management, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.~~management. 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~~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 subsequentdifficult to ~~September 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

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. Cash and cash equivalents held on behalf of merchants and other payees are included in settlement assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets	$	863	$	835	$	831
Cash and cash equivalents included in settlement assets	1,961		2,361		1,568
Other restricted cash	9		9		13
Total cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	2,833	$	3,205	$	2,412

The Company revised the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to reflect settlement cash and cash equivalents within settlement assets as a component of total cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The changes in settlement cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 of ($400) million and ~~$13~~($82) million, ~~at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.~~respectively, have been included in settlement activity, net within cash flows from financing activities.

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~~$47 million and ~~$48~~$55 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Settlement Assets and Obligations

Settlement assets and obligations result from timing differences between collection and fulfillment of payment transactions and collateral amounts held to manage merchant credit risk, primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring services. Settlement assets represent cash received or amounts receivable from agents, payment networks, bank partners, merchants or directly from consumers. Settlement obligations represent amounts payable to merchants and payees. Certain merchant settlement ~~assets~~asset receivables 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 settlement obligations for amounts payable to merchants and for outstanding payment instruments issued to payees that have not yet been presented for settlement.

Allowance 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, or funds held by partner banks for the Company’s benefit, 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 credit risk. Despite these efforts, the Company experiences some level of losses due to merchant defaults.

The aggregate merchant credit loss expense, recognized by the Company within cost of processing and services in the consolidated statements of income, was ~~not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company recognized aggregate merchant credit loss expense of $35~~$8 million and $22 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020. The Company recognized aggregate merchant credit loss expense of $31 million~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$89 million for the nine months ended September 30,~~ 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. The amount of collateral ~~held by~~available to the Company was ~~$2.6~~$2.0 billion and ~~$1.2~~$2.2 billion at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The Company maintains an allowance for merchant credit losses that are expected to exceed the amount of ~~collateral held.~~merchant collateral. The allowance includes estimated losses from anticipated chargebacks and fraud events that have been incurred on merchants’ payment transactions that have been processed but not yet reported to the Company, which is recorded within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as estimated losses on refunded amounts to cardholders that have not yet been collected from the merchants, which is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance is based primarily on the Company’s historical experience of credit losses and other relevant factors such as changes in economic conditions or increases in merchant

fraud. The aggregate merchant credit loss allowance was~~$45 million~~ $29 million and ~~$59~~$42 millionat~~September 30, 2021~~ March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

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~~2021 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 interest rate environment, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or changes in significant assumptions used in the quantitative test on certain of the Company’s ~~businesses acquired and recorded at fair value through the acquisition of First Data Corporation~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~(“First Data”) in July 2019, such~~reporting units (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,~~ increase in risk-adjusted discount rates) could have a future material impact on one or more of the estimates and assumptions used to evaluate goodwill impairment. There is no accumulated goodwill impairment for the Company through ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Other Investments

The Company maintains investments, of which it does not have significant influence, in various equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments totaled ~~$95~~$117 million and ~~$160~~$113 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, 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. To the extent such events or changes occur, the Company evaluates the fair value compared to its cost basis in the investment. Gains or losses from a sale of these investments or a change in fair value are included within other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of income for the period. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 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 certain equity securities and gains and losses from sales of equity securities during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 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,~~2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. ~~2020-01,~~2021-10, ~~Investments - Equity Securities~~Government Assistance (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~~832) (“(“ASU ~~2020-01”~~2021-10”), which ~~clarifies~~requires that an entity provide certain ~~interactions between~~disclosures in its annual financial statements about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. ASU 2021-10 is effective for all business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to the ~~guidance~~transactions reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application. The Company will adopt the additional disclosures prospectively to ~~account~~the transactions reflected in its consolidated financial statements for ~~certain equity securities, investments under~~ the ~~equity method~~year ending December 31, 2022.

In 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Generally, this should result in recognition and measurement of ~~accounting,~~contract assets and ~~forward~~contract liabilities at carryover value consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements, providing consistent recognition and enhanced comparability with revenue contracts ~~or purchased options~~with customers not acquired in a business combination. Prior to ~~purchase securities under Topic 321, Topic 323~~adoption of ASU 2021-08, an acquirer generally recognized contract assets and ~~Topic 815.~~contract

Table of Contents

liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date. For public entities, ASU ~~2020-01~~2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Entities are required to apply a prospective transition approach upon adoption, unless early adoption occurs in an interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2022, with prospective application to business combinations occurring after adoption.

In 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (“ASU 2021-05”), which amends the lease classification requirements for lessors with certain leases containing variable payments. A lessor is to classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate as an operating lease if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease and the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. For public entities, ASU 2021-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, ~~beginning~~with early adoption permitted. Entities that have adopted ASC Topic 842 prior to the issuance of ASU 2021-05 may apply this update either retrospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or after ~~December 15, 2020.~~the adoption of ASC Topic 842 or prospectively to leases that commence or are modified on or after the date the entity first applies ASU 2021-05. The Company adopted ASU ~~2020-01~~2021-05 effective January 1, ~~2021,~~2022, with prospective application to leases commencing or modified thereafter, 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, including 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

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.

Contract Balances

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


(In millions)	(In millions)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		(In millions)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contract assets	Contract assets	$	531	$	433	Contract assets	$	566	$	541
Contract liabilities	Contract liabilities	733		733		Contract liabilities	841		810

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 ~~$469~~$203 million of revenue during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 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~~ASC 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.

6. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company maintains investments in various affiliates that are accounted for as equity method investments, the most significant of which are related to the Company’s merchant alliances. The Company’s share of net income or loss from these investments is reported within income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the 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 was recorded within gain on sale of businesses and the tax expense was recordedor benefit is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. Noncontrolling interests of the Company were 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 10). 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 continues 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 Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method, a form of the income approach. The determination of the fair value required estimates about discount rates, growth and attrition rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that were judgmental in nature. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that were not observable in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, ~~Fair Value Measurements~~. The significant assumptions used included 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.

The Company ~~continues~~maintains noncontrolling ownership interests in defi SOLUTIONS Group, LLC and Sagent M&C, LLC (collectively the “Lending Joint Ventures”), respectively, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In March 2022, Sagent M&C, LLC (“Sagent”) completed a transaction with a third party for the contribution from and the sale by such third party to ~~provide merchant processing~~Sagent of certain intangible and related services to former BAMS clients allocated to BANA, at BAMS pricing, through June 2023. The Company also provides processing and other support services to new BANA merchant clients pursuant to a five-year non-exclusive agreement which, after June 2023, will also apply to the former BAMS clients allocated to BANA. In addition, both the Company and BANA are entitled to certain transition services, at fair value, from each other through June 2023.

On February 18, 2020, the Company sold a 60% controlling interest of its Investment Services business, subsequently renamed as Tegra118, LLC (“Tegra118”). The Company received pre-tax proceeds of $578 million, net of related expenses,tangible personal property rights, resulting in a dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in Sagent. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain ~~on the sale~~ of ~~$428~~$80 million within income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, with ~~the~~ related tax expense of ~~$112~~$19 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statement of income during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s remaining noncontrolling ownership interest in Sagent will continue to be accounted for as an equity method investment.

The Lending Joint ventures maintain variable-rate term loan facilities with aggregate outstanding borrowings of $360 million in senior unsecured debt 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, 2022 were $22 million. The Company has guaranteed this debt of the Lending Joint Ventures and does not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations. In April 2022, the Lending Joint Ventures amended their respective term loans and revolving credit facilities. See Note 7 for additional information.

The Company previously maintained a noncontrolling interest in Tegra118, LLC (“Tegra118”) which was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In February 2021, Tegra118 completed a merger with a third party, resulting in a dilution of

provision, in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The pre-tax gain included $176 million related to the remeasurement of the Company’s 40% retained interest based upon the enterprise value of the business. The revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Investment Services business were consolidated into the Company’s financial results through the date of the sale transaction, and are reported within Corporate and Other (see Note 19). In conjunction with the sale transaction, the Company also entered into transition services agreements to provide, at fair value, various administration, business process outsourcing, technical and data center related services for defined periods to Tegra118.

~~On February 2, 2021, Tegra118 completed a merger with a third party, resulting in a dilution of~~ the Company’s ownership interest in the combined new entity, Wealthtech Holdings, LLC, which was subsequently renamed as InvestCloud Holdings, LLC (“InvestCloud”). In connection with the transaction, the Company made an additional capital contribution of $200 million into the combined entity and recognized a pre-tax gain of $28 million within income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, ~~in the consolidated statements of income,~~ with related tax expense of $6 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statement of income during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021. ~~On June 30, 2021, the Company sold its entire~~The Company’s remaining 24% ownership interest in InvestCloud was accounted for ~~$466 million, resulting~~as an equity method investment through June 2021, the date on which the Company subsequently sold its entire remaining ownership interest in a pre-tax gain of $33 million recorded within income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of income, with related tax expense of $8 million recorded through the income tax provision, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.InvestCloud.

6.7. 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 ~~11)~~12). Contingent consideration related to certain of the 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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

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 foreign lines of credit, 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 ~~$21.7~~$20.3 billion and ~~$22.5~~$21.8 billion at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and the carrying value was ~~$20.1~~$20.3 billion and ~~$19.9~~$20.4 billion at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, 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 $370 million in senior unsecured debt at September 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 September 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 its debt guarantee arrangements with the ~~guarantees,~~Lending Joint Ventures (see Note 6), which is reported within accounts payable and accrued expenses ~~and other long-term liabilities~~ in the consolidated balance ~~sheets.~~sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 ~~$12~~$8 million and ~~$18~~$10 million approximates the fair value at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, 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 ($53 million and $8$4 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, as reported within ~~other long-term liabilities~~accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance 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~~Lending 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 $4 million~~ during each of the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and recognized $9 million and $10 million during the nine months ended September 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. In April 2022, the Lending Joint Ventures amended their respective term loans and revolving credit facilities, increasing aggregate borrowing capacity by $75 million and extending the maturity to April 2027. The Company has elected to guarantee this incremental indebtedness, for a defined fee, and does not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to

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 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 through a distribution in the form of cash, certain merchant contracts of the joint venture, or a combination thereof to the minority partner. In conjunction with the termination of the joint venture, the minority partner may also exercise an option to purchase certain additional merchant contracts at fair market value.

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 ~~$280~~$317 million and ~~$259~~$341 million, and the fair value totaling $6$4 million and $9$6 million is reported primarily within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company estimates that it will recognize gains of approximately $5$3 million in cost of processing and services during the next twelve months as foreign exchange forward contracts settle.

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 Corporation (“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~~loss, net of ~~$183 million~~income taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss ~~net of income taxes,~~ that ~~will be~~is being amortized to earnings over the terms of the originally forecasted interest payments. The unamortized balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Treasury Locks was $142 million and $145 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately ~~$20~~$18 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 economic hedge of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries. The Company has designated its Euro- and British Pound-denominated senior notes and Euro commercial paper 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 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 ~~gain (loss),~~gains of $67 million, net of income tax provision of ~~$71~~$22 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and ~~$(92)~~$32 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, in other comprehensive income (loss) ~~during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and~~ ~~2020, respectively, and $77 million and $(38) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively,~~ from the ~~Euro-~~translation of foreign currency-denominated senior notes and ~~British Pound-denominated senior~~commercial paper notes.

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

The Company recognized ~~$63~~$61 million and ~~$84~~$66 million of share-based compensation expense during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and $190 million and $286 million of~~respectively.

The Company’s annual grant of share-based~~ awards ~~generally occurs~~are typically granted in the first ~~quarter. Grants~~quarter of ~~share-based awards~~the year, and may also occur throughout the year in conjunction with acquisitions of businesses. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options, restricted stock units and awards and performance share units, net of estimated forfeitures, of ~~$321~~$519 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.1~~2.3 years. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ stock options to purchase ~~3.5~~0.6 million and ~~2.2~~1.6 million shares, respectively, were exercised.

As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $1 million and $4 million, reported in selling, general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of income during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $6 million and $44 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, associated with the early exit of these leased facilities.

~~Other Costs~~

In connection with initiatives to reduce the Company’s overall cost structure following the acquisition of First Data, the Company 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 adjusted the amortization period for these existing lease agreements to coincide with the modified remaining term. Finance lease expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $17 million and $62 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $18 million and $53 million, respectively, of accelerated amortization associated with the termination of these vendor contracts.

14. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision and effective income tax rate were as follows:


		Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,							Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	(In millions)	2021			2020			2021			2020			(In millions)	2022			2021
Income tax provision	Income tax provision	$	54		$	124		$	300		$	176		Income tax provision	$	98		$	18
Effective income tax rate	Effective income tax rate	11.3		%	32.5		%	23.7		%	21.1		%	Effective income tax rate	14.5		%	5.6		%

The income tax provision as a percentage of income before income taxes and income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was ~~11.3%~~14.5% and ~~32.5%~~5.6% for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and was 23.7% and 21.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively.

The effective income tax ~~rate~~rates for both the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~includes~~include discrete tax benefits from subsidiary restructurings and changes in uncertain tax positions. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 included $32 million of income tax expense related to the revaluation of certain net deferred tax liabilities as a result of an increase in the United Kingdom corporate income tax rate from 17% to 19% in the quarter.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 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 discrete tax benefits from subsidiary restructurings, changes in uncertain tax positions and equity compensation related tax benefits. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $112 million of income tax expense associated with the $428 million gain on the sale of a 60% interest of the Company’s Investment Services business (see Note 4) and $32 million~~of income tax expense noted above, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions and equity compensation related tax benefits.~~

The Company’s potential liability for unrecognized tax benefits before interest and penalties was approximately ~~$136~~$112 million at ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to ~~$26~~$7 million over the next twelve months as a result of possible closure of ~~federal~~ tax audits, potential audit settlements, ~~with certain states,~~ and the lapse of the statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions.

~~Table of Contents~~

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return for ~~2020,~~2021, and tax returns in certain states and foreign jurisdictions for ~~2005~~2013 through ~~2020,~~2021, remain subject to examination by taxing authorities. State and local examinations are substantially complete through 2014 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.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

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 acquiring business and a tax matter. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company resolved a matter, for which the Company had previously accrued, with a class of merchants related to alleged violations by an independent sales organization resulting in a payment of $28 million. 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 maintained ~~reserves~~accruals of ~~$15~~$31 million and $32 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, related to its various legal proceedings, primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring business ~~as described above.~~and certain tax matters. The Company’s estimate of the possible range of exposure for various litigation matters in excess of amounts accrued is $0 million to approximately ~~$65~~$50 million. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such ~~lawsuits~~legal proceedings 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, which are separate and distinct from the settlement payment transactions described in Note 1, 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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~~$947 million and ~~$1.7~~$1.6 billion at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Indemnifications and Warranties

The Company may indemnify its clients from certain costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement associated with its clients’ use of the Company’s products or services. The Company may also warrant to clients that its products and services will operate substantially in accordance with identified specifications. From time to time, in connection with sales of businesses, the Company agrees to indemnify the buyers of such businesses for liabilities associated with the businesses that are sold. Payments, net of recoveries, under such indemnification or warranty provisions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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.~~alliances. 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,

Table of Contents

the Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its investment in the alliance. As a result, the processing and other service fees charged to merchant alliances accounted for under the equity method are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income primarily as processing and services revenue. Such fees totaled ~~$42~~$47 million and ~~$47~~$45 million for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and $132 million and $134 million for the nine months ended September 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 ~~$38~~$41 million and ~~$37~~$36 million of amounts due from unconsolidated merchant alliances included within trade accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, 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 accounted for under the equity method. Amounts transacted through these agreements, including with InvestCloud through June ~~30,~~ 2021, totaled $6$5 million and ~~$16~~$13 million during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and $32 million and $43 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively, and were primarily recognized as processing and services revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

~~Share Repurchase~~

On May 3, 2021, New Omaha Holdings L.P. (“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”). The share repurchase totaled $588 million and was funded with cash on hand. The repurchased shares were cancelled and no longer outstanding following the completion of the share repurchase. Prior to the offering, New Omaha owned approximately 13% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, and immediately following the offering, New Omaha owned approximately 9% of such outstanding shares.

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 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,~~ISVs, 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~~Financial service providers 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,” which enable financial institutions to offer their customers an industry-leading digital banking experience.

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~~a unified, seamless customer experience across mobile and online channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us.

In addition to the trends described above, during the ~~financial institutions marketplace has experienced change in composition as well. The~~past 25 years, the number of financial institutions in the United States ~~continues to decline,~~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 transfer accounts among financial institutions. If a client loss occurs due to merger or acquisition, we typically 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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

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, and may continue to negatively impact, global economic and market conditions, including levels of consumer and business spending. ~~Consequently, our operating performance, primarily within our merchant acquiring~~The environment surrounding COVID-19 and ~~payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees, has been adversely affected, and~~countermeasures taken to reduce its spread may ~~continue to be adversely affected, by the economic~~ impact ~~of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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, eliminating non-essential travel, limiting visitors to our facilities, disinfecting facilities and workspaces extensively and frequently, providing onsite COVID-19 testing and personal protective equipment to associates and requiring employees who 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, and expanded our Fiserv Cares program to benefit employees in need around the world. We have reopened our offices in the United States and certain other geographies during the third quarter of 2021 and expect to continue to reopen our facilities in remaining locations while observing appropriate safety 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 and have continued to grow through the third quarter of 2021. Accordingly, our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses were less impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first nine months of 2021 than they were throughout most of fiscal 2020. While this current business trend is positive, the uncertainty caused by the pandemic continues to create an economic environment where our future ~~financial results remain~~performance and remains difficult to ~~anticipate. We currently expect payments volume and transactions to continue to improve throughout the remainder of 2021, consistent with consumer and business spending experienced to date.~~predict.

The 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.

InBeginning in 2021, we began observing increasing shortages and delays in the global supply chain for components and inputs necessary to our businesses, such as semiconductors, paper and plastic, and may experience difficulty procuring those components and inputs in the future on a timely basis or at historical prices.

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,~~2021, 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.~~2021.

Following the acquisition of First Data, we have continued to implement our post-merger integration plans to achieve synergies and future expected economic benefits, including enhanced revenue growth from expanded capabilities and geographic presence as well as substantial cost savings from the elimination of duplicative overhead and enhanced operational efficiency. We expect to complete the integration activities associated with the achievement of cost synergies related to the First Data acquisition by the end of 2021 and therefore expect a reduction in the amount of acquisition and integration related expenses thereafter.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our debt consisted primarily of ~~$17.8~~$17.6 billion of fixed-rate senior notes and $~~1.4~~1.8 billion of outstanding borrowings under our ~~U.S.~~ commercial paper ~~notes program.~~programs. 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. Outstanding borrowings under our 3.50% senior notes due in October 2022, the receivable securitized loan, which matures in July 2022, and U.S and Euro commercial paper ~~notes program~~programs are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as we have the intent to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper notes upon maturity, and we also have the ability to refinance such borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of U.S commercial paper notes to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of the issuance date, to repay the 4.750% senior notes that matured in June 2021, and to pay down outstanding borrowings on our term loan facility.

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 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

Table of Contents

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.

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022, 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 ~~September 30, 2021:~~March 31, 2022:

We maintain 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 is the Argentine peso.

We maintain U.S. and Euro unsecured commercial paper programs with various maturities generally ranging from one day to four months. Outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs 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. U.S. dollar borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility bear interest at a ~~consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary,~~ variable rate based on LIBOR, typically at the overnight or 1-month rates, or a base rate, plus, in each case, a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. Foreign currency borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on a benchmark applicable to the relevant currency, 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.

First Data Receivables, LLC (“FDR”)~~. FDR~~, a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, 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~~agents. Pursuant to ~~which~~the Receivables Financing Agreement, 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~~borrow funds 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 $1.0 billion in receivables as part of the securitization program, and utilized the receivables as collateral in borrowings of ~~$500~~$483 million at ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus a specified margin. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the collateral capacity under the Receivables Financing Agreement was ~~$766~~$770 million, and the maximum borrowing capacity was $500 million.

~~Beginning in May 2021, we have maintained~~We maintain a ~~U.S. unsecured commercial paper notes program~~term loan credit agreement with ~~various maturities generally ranging from one to four weeks.~~a syndicate of financial institutions. 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Investments, ~~(other than those included in~~exclusive of settlement ~~assets)~~assets, with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to cash are considered to be cash ~~equivalents.~~equivalents as reflected within our consolidated balance sheets. At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we held ~~$933~~$863 million and ~~$906~~$835 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. 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 depends 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 of September 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 rates and other terms also depends on the ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies to our indebtedness. As of September 30, 2021, we had a corporate credit rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook from Moody’s and BBB with a stable outlook from 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.~~2021. There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative analyses about market risk during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, we or our subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against us.
