NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data and as otherwise disclosed)

1.BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “EPAM”) is a leading ~~global provider of~~digital transformation services and product engineering company, providing digital platform engineering and software development services to customers located around the world, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia. The Company’s industry expertise includes financial services, travel and consumer, software and hi-tech, business information and media, life sciences and healthcare, as well as several other ~~emerging~~ industries. The Company is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EPAM have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of EPAM Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries with all intercompany balances and transactions eliminated.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments ~~considered~~ necessary for a fair presentation of the ~~accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated~~Company’s financial ~~statements have been included,~~position as of March 31, 2022 and ~~all adjustments are~~the results of ~~a normal~~its operations and ~~recurring nature.~~its cash flows for the periods presented.

~~Reclassifications~~Risks and Uncertainties — ~~Restricted~~As a result of its global operations, the Company may be subject to certain inherent risks.

Concentration of Credit — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, ~~noncurrent presented~~cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions. The Company believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk and there is no expectation of non-performance by the counterparties.

The Company has cash in several countries, including Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, which could be impacted by the invasion of Ukraine (see Note 2, “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine”) and where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability, banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets, and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $59.5 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Russia, $51.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Belarus, and $28.3 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Ukraine. Also, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had an additional $28.9 million of cash in a bank in Belarus which could not be accessed due to an administrative review by the bank. Based on the inability to access this $28.9 million of cash on demand, the Company has classified this amount as restricted cash included in Prepaid and other current assets in its condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet has been reclassified from Other noncurrent assets~~sheets as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020~~2022. These funds were made available to ~~conform~~EPAM in full during April and substantially all of these funds were transferred to another bank in the country. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions considered stable in the region, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution and conducts ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of the financial institutions with which it does business. A banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold the Company’s funds, or sanctions may result in the loss of deposits or adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete banking transactions, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition. Cash in these countries is used for the operational needs of the local entities and cash balances change with the expected operating needs of these entities. The Company regularly monitors cash held in these countries and, to the ~~current-period~~extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support its operations in these countries, the Company distributes the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors.

Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many customers operating in different industries; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited. Historically, credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables have not been material to the consolidated financial ~~statement presentation.~~statements. If any of our customers enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress, the Company’s credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables could increase, which would negatively impact its results of operations. See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine”for further discussion regarding trade receivables and contract assets from customers located in Russia.

Foreign currency risk — The Company’s global operations are conducted predominantly in U.S. dollars. Other than U.S. dollars, the Company generates revenues in various currencies, principally, euros, British pounds, Russian rubles, Swiss francs, and Canadian dollars and incurs expenditures principally in Russian rubles, Polish zlotys, euros, Swiss francs, Hungarian forints, British pounds, Indian rupees, Chinese yuan renminbi and Mexican pesos.

The Company’s international operations expose it to foreign currency exchange rate changes that could impact translations of foreign denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and future earnings and cash flows from transactions denominated in different currencies. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to trade receivables from sales in foreign currencies and cash outflows for expenditures in foreign currencies. The Company’s results of operations, primarily revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, can be affected if any of the currencies which are used materially in the Company’s business, appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar. The Company has a hedging program whereby it entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Russian ruble, Polish zloty, Indian rupee and Hungarian forint transactions. See Note 6, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further discussion regarding the Company’s termination of the hedging program for the Russian ruble.

Interest rate risk — The Company’s exposure to market risk is influenced by the changes in interest rates received on cash and cash equivalent deposits and short-term investments and paid on any outstanding balance on the Company’s borrowings, mainly under the 2021 Credit Agreement, which is subject to a variety of rates depending on the type and timing of funds borrowed (See Note 8 “Debt”). The Company does not believe it is exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates related to these deposits and borrowings.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

~~The adoption of new~~There were no recently adopted accounting standards ~~did not have~~which had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows.

Pending Accounting Standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that the Company will adopt according to the various timetables the FASB specifies. The Company believes the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

2. IMPACT OF THE INVASION OF UKRAINE

On February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine and its people and EPAM has called for an immediate end to this unlawful and unconscionable attack. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $74.9 million of Property and equipment, net in Ukraine consisting of a building classified as construction-in-progress located in Kyiv with a net book value of $50.4 million, laptops with a net book value of $15.3 million, most of which are in the possession of employees, various office furniture, equipment and supplies with a net book value of $8.5 million, and leasehold improvements located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $0.7 million. Additionally, the Company had Operating lease right-of-use assets located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $18.8 million as of March 31, 2022. Through the issuance date of these interim financial statements, the Company is not aware of any damage to its long-lived assets in Ukraine and the Company expects to continue to use these assets as part of its global delivery model.

On March 4, 2022, in addition to the Company’s donations, and the work of EPAM volunteers on the ground, the Company announced a $100.0 million humanitarian commitment to support its employees and their families in and displaced from Ukraine. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company expensed $25.7 million related to this commitment including special cash payments to support impacted employees, financial and medical support for impacted families, travel, meals and lodging expenses, and donations to third-party humanitarian organizations. Of this expensed amount, $19.2 million is classified in Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and $6.5 million is classified in Selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In response to the attacks on Ukraine, EPAM announced on March 4, 2022, it would discontinue services to customers located in Russia. Based on this change in facts and circumstances, the long-term cash flow forecast for the Company’s operations in Russia and its Russia reporting unit were significantly reduced. The reduction in the long-term cash flow forecasts indicated that the carrying amounts of goodwill and long-lived assets associated with the Company’s Russia reporting unit and operations in Russia may not be recoverable, and the carrying value of these assets was tested for impairment. The Company relied on the income approach to estimate the fair values of the Russia reporting unit and long-lived assets and considered multiple scenarios including the continuing operation and exit of operations in Russia. Reflecting the negative long-term cash flow forecasts associated with these assets that each of these scenarios produced, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairments of Property and equipment, net of $15.1 million, Operating lease right-of-use assets, net of $3.8 million, and Goodwill of $0.7 million. These asset impairment charges are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, the Company evaluated trade receivables and contract assets for estimated future credit losses from customers located in Russia and recorded a bad debt expense of $8.4 million, reflecting the deterioration of creditworthiness of its customers in Russia during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Furthermore, in response to the invasion, the Company began executing its business continuity plans focused on relocating employees residing in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia to other countries as well as assigning delivery personnel in locations outside of the region to serve in unbilled standby or backup capacity to ensure the continuity of delivery for its customers who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion. In addition to costs incurred as part of EPAM’s humanitarian commitment to Ukraine, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $18.7 million classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses related to its geographic repositioning efforts and $2.6 million classified as Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) related to these standby resources. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million classified as Other income/(expense) related to a financial asset in Ukraine which the Company believes is unrealizable due to the events in Ukraine.

Subsequent to March 31, 2022, upon revelations of the atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine, EPAM decided to exit its operations in Russia. The Company is currently exploring strategic alternatives for its assets in Russia, including the potential sale or liquidation of its holdings in Russia. The Company expects to complete the phased exit at or near the end of the second quarter of 2022. The Company expects it could incur additional significant charges in the second quarter of 2022 related to the exit of its operations in Russia including, but not limited to, restructuring costs and loss on sale. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has the following assets and liabilities in Russia:

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company updated the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities resulting in a corresponding increase in the value of acquired goodwill of $11.8 million, primarily attributable to a $10.4 million increase in the fair value of contingent consideration. The effect of adjustments recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that would have been recognized in a prior period if the adjustment to the preliminary amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date of PolSource was not material. For the acquisition of PolSource, the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocations as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

~~As of September 30, 2021, the following table presents the estimated fair values and useful lives of intangible assets acquired from PolSource:~~

The foreign exchange derivatives are valued using pricing models and discounted cash flow methodologies based on observable foreign exchange data at the measurement date. See Note 56 “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for additional information regarding derivative financial instruments.

As part of the acquisition of Emakina, the Company acquired rights to purchase certain noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries of Emakina in exchange for future cash payments determined by the future profitability of certain subsidiaries. The Company determines the fair value of these rights by (i) estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries by applying an EBITDA multiple adjusted for a lack of control and marketability, less (ii) the fair value of expected future payments to settle the related contractual obligations. The Company purchased the majority of the noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries during the first quarter of 2022.

The Company determines the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities using Monte Carlo simulations ~~(which involve a simulation of future revenues and earnings during the earn-out period using management's best estimates)~~ or probability-weighted expected return methods. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates or probability assumptions related to achieving the various earn-out criteria would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration. Such changes, if any, are recorded within Interest and other income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of the contingent consideration for the PolSource acquisition attributable to future revenues and earnings was measured utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation, based on future revenue and earnings projections of the business, revenue volatility and asset volatility of comparable companies, and a discount rate. The discount ~~rates~~rate used to determine the fair value of this contingent consideration was 0.4% as of the acquisition ~~date and 0.3% as of September 30, 2021.~~

date. The fair value of the contingent consideration for the PolSource acquisition attributable to future operating metrics was measured using a probability-weighted expected return method, based on the expected future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreement and adjusting those estimates to reflect the probability of their achievement. The weighted-average estimated future payments were then discounted to present value using a rate based on EPAM’s cost of debt. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of this contingent consideration was 0.4% as of the acquisition ~~date and 0.3% as~~date.

Table of ~~September 30, 2021.~~Contents

The fair value of the contingent consideration for all other acquisitions was determined using a probability-weighted expected return method and is based on the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. Although there is significant judgment involved, the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable. In determining fair value, the Company considered a variety of factors, including future performance of the acquired businesses using financial projections developed by the Company and market risk assumptions that were derived for revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxes. The Company estimated future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreements and adjusted those estimates to reflect the probability of their achievement. Those weighted-average estimated future payments were then discounted to present value using a rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital of guideline companies. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the 2022 Acquisition was 13.0%. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the CORE acquisition was 13.0%. The discount rates used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the Other 2021 Acquisitions ranged from a minimum of ~~20.0%~~15.0% to a maximum of 22.0%. ~~The~~Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates ~~used~~or probability assumptions related to ~~determine~~achieving the various earnout criteria would result in a change in the fair value of the recorded contingent ~~consideration for~~liabilities.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Estimates of fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets are generally subjective in nature and are determined as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and relevant market information. The generally short maturities of certain assets and liabilities result in a number of assets and liabilities for which fair value equals or closely approximates the amount recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following tables present the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

5.6.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has a hedging program whereby it enters into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Russian ruble, Polish zloty, Hungarian forint and Indian rupee transactions. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, all of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts, except the Russian ruble foreign exchange forward contracts, were designated as hedges and there is no financial collateral (including cash collateral) required to be posted by the Company related to the foreign exchange forward contracts.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, in response to the war in Ukraine, the Company de-designated its Russian ruble foreign exchange forward contracts as hedges and entered into offsetting foreign exchange forward contracts with the same counterparty. The Company determined it was probable the underlying forecasted foreign currency transactions which were hedged would not occur and reclassified the accumulated loss of $43.9 million on the underlying hedges into income which is classified as foreign exchange loss in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 were as follows:

7.LEASES

The Company leases office space, corporate apartments, office equipment, and vehicles. Many of the Company’s leases contain variable payments including changes in base rent and charges for common area maintenance or other miscellaneous expenses. Due to this variability, the cash flows associated with these variable payments are not included in the minimum lease payments used in determining the right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for such payments is incurred. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 0.1 to ~~9.6~~9.8 years. Certain lease agreements, mainly for office space, include options to extend or terminate the lease before the expiration date. The Company considers such options when determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company leases and subleases a portion of its office space to third parties. Lease income and sublease income were immaterial for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. See Note 2, “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for discussion of impairment of right-of-use assets in Russia.

7.8.DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility — On May 24, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”), as may be amended from time to time, with PNC Bank, National Association; PNC Capital Markets LLC; Citibank N.A.; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association; Fifth Third Bank and Santander Bank, N.A. (collectively the “Lenders”). The 2017 Credit Facility provided for a borrowing capacity of $300.0 million, with potential to increase the borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million if certain conditions are met. The 2017 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on May 24, 2022.

Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility could have been denominated in U.S. dollars or up to a maximum of $100.0 million equivalent in British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, euros or Swiss francs and other currencies as may be approved by the administrative agent and the Lenders. Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility bore interest at either a base rate or Euro-rate plus a margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The base rate was equal to the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate, and (c) the Daily LIBOR Rate, plus 1.0%. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s outstanding borrowings were subject to a LIBOR-based interest rate which resets regularly at issuance, based on lending terms.

The 2017 Credit Facility included customary business and financial covenants that may have restricted the Company’s ability to make or pay dividends (other than certain intercompany dividends) if a potential or an actual event of default had occurred or would have been triggered. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the 2017 Credit Facility.

Commitments for Future Equity Awards

In connection with the ~~PolSource~~Company’s acquisitions of businesses as discussed in Note 3 “Acquisitions,” EPAM enters into agreements that contractually commit it to granting equity awards at future dates. The agreements are unique to each acquisition and terms vary to specify the ~~Company granted 1 thousand performance-based equity-settled RSUs. Vesting~~number of ~~these performance-based equity-settled RSUs is dependent on continued service and achievement~~future awards to be issued or a monetary value that will be settled with equity awards valued at future stock prices.

As of ~~certain revenue, earnings and operational targets.~~

~~Also, in connection with the CORE acquisition,~~March 31, 2022, the Company has ~~committed~~commitments to ~~issuing $34.9~~grant up to $43.1 million of ~~equity-settled~~equity awards with ~~performance conditions~~the number of awards to be ~~granted at~~determined based on future stock ~~prices over~~prices.

~~10.~~11.INCOME TAXES

In determining its interim provision for income taxes, the Company ~~uses~~historically has used an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual profit before tax, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded its interim tax provision using the discrete method rather than using an estimated annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. In subsequent quarters, the Company will continue to evaluate the practicality of utilizing the annual effective tax rate method.

The Company’s worldwide effective tax rates for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 15.6% and ~~2020 were 14.6% and 14.0%~~5.1%, ~~respectively, and 9.1% and 12.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Company’s effective tax rates benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of ~~$10.4~~$13.1 million and ~~$9.2~~$21.5 million during the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and $52.8 million and $29.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively.

~~11.~~12.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, any nonvested shares of restricted stock that have been issued by the Company and are contingently returnable to the Company are excluded from the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock, ~~and~~ unvested equity-settled ~~RSUs.~~RSUs and the stock to be issued under the Company’s ESPP. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock as follows:


		Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,					Three Months Ended March 31,

The number of shares underlying equity-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive was 8137 thousand and 3516 thousand during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~respectively.~~

The number of shares underlying equity-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive was 3 thousand and 40 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

13.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnification Obligations — In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These obligations typically arise in contracts where the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters, infringement of third party intellectual property rights, data privacy violations, and certain tortious conduct in the course of providing services. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. Management is not aware of any such matters that would have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Litigation — From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. In the opinion of management, the outcome of any existing claims and legal or regulatory proceedings, if decided adversely, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

~~Building Acquisition Commitments~~Ukraine Humanitarian Commitment — ~~During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement~~On March 4, 2022 EPAM announced that it has established a $100.0 million humanitarian commitment to ~~purchase office space~~support its employees in Ukraine ~~intended to support the global delivery center in that country. The agreement is subject to completion of construction~~ and ~~other ordinary closing conditions. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has committed to making future payments totaling approximately $34.9 million including VAT to the sellers upon transfer~~their families. See Note 2 “Impact of the ~~building. The Company anticipates gaining control~~Invasion of ~~the building and making the future payments during the fourth quarter of 2021.~~Ukraine” for more information regarding commitments to humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

~~13.~~14.SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines its business segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes the segments to evaluate performance, allocate resources and make business decisions. Segment results are based on the segment’s revenues and operating profit, where segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to specific segments as these expenses are not controllable at the segment level. Such expenses include certain types of professional fees, non-corporate taxes, compensation to non-employee directors and certain other general and administrative expenses, including compensation of specific groups of non-production employees. In addition, the Company does not allocate amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs and certain other one-time charges. These unallocated amounts are combined with total segment operating profit to arrive at consolidated income from operations as reported below in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to consolidated income before provision for income taxes. Additionally, management has determined that it is not practical to allocate identifiable assets by segment since such assets are used interchangeably among the segments.

The Company manages its business primarily based on the managerial responsibility for its client base and market. As managerial responsibility for a particular customer relationship generally correlates with the customer’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between customer locations and the geographic boundaries of the Company’s reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular customer is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between customer executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the customer’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.

See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for more information regarding the Company’s decisions to no longer serve customers in Russia and the subsequent decision to exit its operations in Russia.

Business Update Regarding the Attack Against Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine and its people and EPAM has called for an immediate end to this unlawful and unconscionable attack. EPAM’s highest priority is the safety and security of its employees and their families in Ukraine and we have been relocating our employees to lower risk locations in Ukraine and neighboring countries as well as providing aid through our $100 million humanitarian commitment to our people. The vast majority of our Ukraine employees are in safe locations and operating at levels of productivity consistent with those achieved in 2021. We are also executing our business continuity plans and accelerating hiring across multiple locations in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and India. Our Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of our strategic risks, including geopolitical risks, cybersecurity risks, and risks related to our geographic expansion.Since the start of the invasion of Ukraine, our Board has held several special meetings, has received regular updates from management, and has provided oversight of the risks associated with the attack on Ukraine and other areas of strategic importance related to the invasion.

We discontinued services to certain sanctioned customers in Russia, announced that we will discontinue services to all customers located in Russia, and expect to complete the phased exit of our operations in Russia at or near the end of the second quarter of 2022. All of our discontinuance and exit activities have been or are expected to be in collaboration with our employees, contractors, and customers, including our commitment to providing transition support for customers in this market. We expect to continue operating in Belarus while executing on our Belarus-specific business continuity plans. A significant number of our employees in Russia and Belarus have already relocated, and we expect that substantially more Russia- and Belarus-based employees will relocate to delivery locations outside of those countries.

Prior to the attack in February 2022, Ukraine was our largest delivery location by number of personnel and Belarus and Russia were our second and third largest delivery locations by number of personnel, respectively. We own an office building and lease office space in a number of cities in Ukraine that we use for delivering services to our customers and internally. The impact of the attack on our operations, personnel, and physical assets in Ukraine as well as actions taken by other countries, including new and stricter sanctions by Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the U.S. and other companies and organizations against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia and Belarus, and each of those country’s responses to such sanctions and other actions has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our operations. Customers have and may continue to seek altered terms, conditions, and delivery locations for the performance of services, delay planned work or seek services from alternate providers, or suspend, terminate, fail to renew, or reduce existing contracts or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Some of our customers are considering or have implemented steps to block internet communications with Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus to protect against potential cyberattacks or other information security threats, which has caused a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver our services from those locations. Such material adverse effects disrupt our delivery of services, cause us to shift all or portions of our work occurring in the region to other countries, restrict our ability to engage in certain projects in the region and serve certain customers in or from the region, and could negatively impact our personnel, operations, financial results and business outlook.

Moving Forward

We are executing our business continuity plans and adapting to developments as they occur to protect the safety of our people and handle potential impacts to our delivery infrastructure, including reallocating work to other geographies within our global footprint. We are actively working with our personnel and with our customers to meet their needs and to mitigate delivery challenges. EPAM continues to operate productively in more than 40 countries and is committed to providing consistent high-quality delivery to our customers. Our global delivery centers have sufficient resources, including infrastructure and capital, to support ongoing operations. EPAM continues to support rapid responses to the difficult conditions in Ukraine, while maintaining a focus on customers and continuing to evaluate opportunities for long term growth.

Implementation and execution of our business continuity plans, relocation costs, our humanitarian commitment to our people in Ukraine, and our phased exit from operations in Russia have resulted in materially increased expenses in the first quarter of 2022 and some of those expenses will continue to be elevated in subsequent quarters. We expect that we may incur significant charges in the second quarter of 2022 related to the exit from operations in Russia in addition to the impairment of long-lived assets recorded in the first quarter. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the attack against Ukraine because the conflict and government reactions change quickly and are beyond our control. Prolonged military activities or broad-based sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition and there is significant uncertainty for our business outlook for the second quarter and remainder of 2022. The information contained in this section is accurate as of the date hereof, but may become outdated due to changing circumstances beyond our present awareness or control. For additional information on the various risks posed by the attack against Ukraine and the impact in the region, please read “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this quarterly report.

Year-to-Date ~~2021~~2022 Developments and Trends

Our business was disrupted by the invasion of Ukraine in the later part of the first quarter of 2022. For the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022, our revenues were ~~$2,650.7 million,~~$1.172 billion, an increase of ~~36.9%~~50.1% over ~~$1,936.0~~$780.8 million reported for the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 we have experienced strong growth across all of our verticals with all of the verticals growing above 25% year over year. We have built an increasingly diversified portfolio across numerous verticals, geographies and service offerings which ~~allowed~~enables us to continue to grow revenues. Income from operations as a percentage of revenues ~~despite challenges posed~~decreased to 11.0% as compared to 13.7% largely driven by incremental expenses associated with EPAM’s humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, the global repositioning of our workforce and impairment of long-lived asset charges triggered by the ~~worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Certain clients and certain industry verticals were adversely impacted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic~~discontinuance of services to customers located in 2020. However, in 2021 we are experiencing strong growth across all of our verticals with all of the verticals growing above 30% year over year, with the exception of the Business Information & Media vertical which grew 14.2% year over year.Russia.

•Revenues for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$988.5 million,~~$1.172 billion, representing a ~~51.6%~~50.1% increase from ~~$652.2~~$780.8 million reported in the same period last year. Revenue growth was strong in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 as a result of robust demand for our ~~services as well as a favorable comparison to the third~~services. The first quarter of ~~2020 which~~2022 was ~~adversely~~negatively impacted by ~~the COVID-19 pandemic. The third quarter of 2021 was positively impacted by $5.8~~$22.7 million or ~~0.9%~~2.9% due to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the corresponding period last year. Revenues for the first nine months of 2021 were $2,650.7 million, or a 36.9% increase from $1,936.0 million reported in the corresponding period last year. Revenue growth in the first nine months of 2021 was positively impacted by $48.2 million or 2.5% due to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the corresponding period last year. Revenue growth also benefited from a favorable comparison to the first nine months of 2020 which was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Growth from acquisitions contributed ~~$32.6 million and $54.5~~$77.6 million to our revenues for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021, respectively.~~March 31, 2022.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, income from operations as a percentage of revenues was ~~positively impacted by reduced facility-related expenses as a percentage of revenues and~~ negatively impacted by ~~higher levels~~incremental expenses associated with EPAM’s humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, the global repositioning of ~~accrued variable compensation. Income from operations as a percentage~~our workforce and impairment of ~~revenues for~~long-lived asset charges triggered by the ~~first nine months~~discontinuance of ~~2020 was negatively impacted by an increase~~services to customers in Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues attributable to temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which was partially offset by a reduction in travel-related expenses reported in Cost of revenues and a reduction in travel-related, recruitment, and facilities expenses reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses.Russia.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a recurring basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, goodwill and right-of-use assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and stock-based compensation. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. In addition, our reported financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting ~~policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such~~ policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)

The principal components of our cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) are salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation, project-related travel costs and fees for subcontractors who are assigned to customer projects. Salaries and other compensation expenses of our delivery professionals are reported as cost of revenues regardless of whether the employees are actually performing customer services during a given period. Our employees are a critical resource, necessary for our continued success and therefore we expect to continue hiring talented employees and providing them with competitive compensation programs.

Provision for Income Taxes

In determining the interim provision for income taxes, we historically have used an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual profit before tax, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which EPAM operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. During the first quarter of 2022, we recorded the interim tax provision using the discrete method rather than using an estimated annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. In subsequent quarters, we will continue to evaluate the practicality of utilizing the annual effective tax rate method.

Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and any potential related valuation allowances involves judgment. We consider factors that may contribute, favorably or unfavorably, to the overall ~~annual~~ effective tax rate in the current year as well as the future. These factors include statutory tax rates and tax law changes in the countries where we operate and excess tax benefits upon vesting or exercise of equity awards as well as consideration of any significant or unusual items.

~~As a company operating in many countries, we are required to calculate and provide for income taxes in each~~

Table of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our provision for income taxes benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $10.4 million and $9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our provision for income taxes benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $52.8 million and $29.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.Contents

Our effective tax rate was ~~14.6%~~15.6% and ~~9.1%~~5.1% for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~respectively, and 14.0% and 12.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,~~ respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, is primarily attributable to lower excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards as a percentage of pre-tax income ~~which were partially offset by a $3.4 million one-time benefit~~and the impact of changes to certain U.S. tax regulations. Our provision for income taxes benefited from the recognition of certain tax credits during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, is primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards ~~as a percentage~~ of ~~pre-tax income as well as a $3.4~~$13.1 million ~~one-time benefit from the recognition of certain tax credits~~and $21.5 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Results by Business Segment

Our operations consist of three reportable segments: North America, Europe, and Russia. The segments represent components of EPAM for which separate financial information is available and used on a regular basis by our chief executive officer, who is also our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), to determine how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. Our CODM makes business decisions based on segment revenues and operating profit. Segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to specific segments as these expenses are not controllable at the segment level. Such expenses include certain types of professional fees, certain taxes included in operating expenses, ~~including the Belarus High-Technologies Park membership fee,~~ compensation to non-employee directors and certain other general and administrative expenses, including compensation of specific groups of non-production employees. In addition, the Company does not allocate stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, acquisition-related costs and certain other one-time charges. These unallocated amounts are combined with total segment operating profit to arrive at consolidated income from operations.

We manage our business primarily based on the managerial responsibility for its client base and market. As managerial responsibility for a particular customer relationship generally correlates with the customer’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between customer locations and the geographic boundaries of our reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular customer is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between customer executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the customer’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.

On March 4, 2022, the Company announced that it will discontinue its services to customers located in Russia and is committed to providing transition support for customers in this market.

During the first nine months of 2021, Europe’s segment operating profit was positively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, predominantly the euro and British pound, as well as the recognition of $6.4 million in revenues from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, partially offset by a higher level of accrued variable compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, segment operating profit was negatively impacted by temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.Contents

Effects of Inflation

Economies in some countries where we operate ~~particularly Belarus, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and India~~ have periodically experienced high rates of inflation. Periods of higher inflation may affect various economic sectors in those countries and increase our cost of doing business there. Inflation may increase some of our expenses such as wages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our cash generated from operations has been our primary source of liquidity to fund operations and investments to support the growth of our business. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$1,266.6~~$1,276.5 million as well as ~~$275.0~~$675.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

We have cash in banks in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia and Uzbekistan, where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability, banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. As of September 30, 2021, the total amount of cash held in these countries was $194.1 million and, of this amount, $65.3 million was held in Belarus. Cash in this region is used for operational needs and cash balances in those banks change with the operating needs of our entities in the region. We regularly monitor cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support our business operations, we distribute the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors.

As of September 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million under the 2017 Credit Facility, and were in compliance with all covenants specified under the 2017 Credit Facility. On October 21, 2021, we replaced the 2017 Credit Facility with the 2021 Credit Agreement which provides for the 2021 Revolving Facility with a borrowing capacity of $700.0 million, with potential to increase the borrowing capacity up to $1,000.0 million if certain conditions are met. See Note 78 “Debt” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” for information regarding our debt.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $51.8 million, a decrease of $64.7 million compared to $12.8 million provided by operating activities in the corresponding period of 2021. This decrease was largely driven by a higher level of variable compensation payments based on 2021 performance, accelerated payment of variable compensation during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of the prior year, and cash outflows related to EPAM’s humanitarian support efforts in Ukraine and geographic repositioning.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $34.6 million compared to $48.5 million provided by investing activities the same period in 2021. During the first three months of 2022, the cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to $23.3 million used for capital expenditures compared to cash used for capital expenditures of $11.2 million during the comparable period in 2021. During the first three months of 2022, the cash used for the acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired was $8.2 million whereas no acquisitions were completed in the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, during the first three months of 2021, net cash provided by investing activities was positively impacted by the maturity of $60.0 million of time deposits.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $9.6 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to $1.3 million net cash provided by financing activities in the same period of 2021. During the first three months of 2022, we received cash from the exercises of stock options issued under our long-term incentive plans of $3.4 million, compared to $4.4 million received in the corresponding period of 2021. These cash inflows were offset by cash used for the payments of withholding taxes related to net share settlements of restricted stock units of $3.9 million in the first three months of 2022, compared to $3.3 million paid in the corresponding period of 2021. Additionally, the first three months of 2022 included repayment of debt of $6.8 million.

Future Capital Requirements

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents combined with our expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months and that we possess the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives, including the ability to make acquisitions and strategic investments in the foreseeable future. However, the invasion of Ukraine, COVID-19 and related measures to contain their impact have caused material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The future impact of the invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19 and responsive measures cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Our ability to expand and grow our business in accordance with current plans and to meet our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which our cash flows increase or decrease and the availability of public and private debt and equity financing. We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. ~~If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain another credit facility.~~

Based on currently available information and management’s current expectations, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash on hand and sufficient access to capital to continue to fund our operations for a significant period of time. However, COVID-19 and related measures to contain its impact have caused material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The future impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 containment measures cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

~~Operating Activities~~

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $287.7 million, a decrease of $97.3 million compared to $385.0 million provided by operating activities in the corresponding period of 2020. This decrease was largely driven by an increase in days sales outstanding as well as increased income tax payments during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

~~Investing Activities~~

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $158.5 million compared to $149.2 million used in the same period in 2020.

Cash used for capital expenditures was $54.9 million during the first nine months of 2021 compared to cash used for capital expenditures of $50.3 million during the comparable period in 2020. Additionally, net cash used in investing activities was positively impacted by the maturity of $60.0 million of time deposits during the first nine months of 2021 and negatively impacted by the $60.0 million use of cash to purchase these time deposits during the first nine months of 2020. Furthermore, $2.5 million was used for purchases of non-marketable securities during the first nine months of 2021 compared to $20.5 million used in the same period in 2020.

~~Financing Activities~~

Net cash used in financing activities was $14.5 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to $1.1 million net cash used in financing activities in the same period of 2020. During the first nine months of 2021, we received cash from the exercises of stock options issued under our long-term incentive plans of $20.2 million, compared to $23.0 million received in the corresponding period of 2020. These cash inflows were offset by cash used for the payments of withholding taxes related to net share settlements of restricted stock units of $34.1 million in the first nine months of 2021, compared to $16.2 million paid in the corresponding period of 2020. Additionally, the first nine months of 2021 included payment of $0.8 million for contingent consideration compared to payment of $7.9 million of contingent consideration during the first nine months of 2020.

~~Contractual Obligations and Future Capital Requirements~~

~~However, our~~Our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors including the impact of the invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19 pandemic, each as described elsewhere in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flow are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing stockholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains estimates and forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, principally in “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and ~~our~~“Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 also contains estimates and forward-looking statements, principally in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Our estimates and forward-looking statements are mainly based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business and operations. Those future events and trends may relate to, among other things, developments relating to the ~~anticipated impact~~invasion of Ukraine, political and civil unrest or military action in the geographies where we conduct business and operate, developments relating to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, and the effect that itthey may have on our ~~sales,~~revenues, operations, access to capital, ~~revenues,~~ profitability and customer demand. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks, uncertainties and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate and are made in light of information currently available to us. Important factors, in addition to the factors described in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report, may materially and adversely affect our results as indicated in forward-looking statements. You should read this quarterly report, our Annual Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits hereto completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “might,” “would,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology and similar words are intended to identify estimates and forward-looking statements. Estimates and forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, to revise or to review any estimate and/or forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors. Estimates and forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. As a result of the risks and uncertainties described above, the estimates and forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 might not occur and our future results, level of activity, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to, including, but not limited to, the factors mentioned above, and the differences may be material and adverse. Because of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily result from changes in concentration of credit, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, civil unrest, political instability or uncertainty, military activities, broad-based sanctions, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.

Concentration of Credit and Other Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and trade receivables.

We maintain our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions. We believe that our credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business ~~risk and we~~risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

Table of Contents

We have cash in ~~banks in Belarus,~~several countries, including Russia, Ukraine ~~Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan~~ and ~~Georgia,~~Belarus, which could be impacted by the invasion of Ukraine and where the banking sector remains subject to periodic ~~instability. Banking~~instability, banking and other financial systems in these countries generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets, and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. As of ~~September 30, 2021, $194.1~~March 31, 2022, we had $59.5 million of ~~our total~~ cash ~~was kept~~and cash equivalents in banks in ~~these countries,~~Russia, $51.0 million of ~~which $65.3 million was held~~cash and cash equivalents in ~~Belarus. In this region, and particularly~~banks in Belarus, and $28.3 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Ukraine. Also, as of March 31, 2022, we had an additional $28.9 million of cash in a bank in Belarus which could not be accessed due to an administrative review by the bank. Based on the inability to access this cash on demand, we have classified this amount as restricted cash included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022. These funds were made available to us in full during April and substantially all of these funds were transferred to another bank in the country. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions considered stable in the region, limit the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution and conduct ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of the financial institutions with which we do business. A banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold ~~our~~the Company’s funds, or sanctions may result in the loss of our deposits or adversely affect ~~our~~the Company’s ability to complete banking transactions, ~~in the region,~~ which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Cash in ~~this region~~these countries is used for the operational needs of the local entities and cash balances ~~in those banks~~ change with the expected operating needs of ~~our entities in the region.~~these entities. We regularly monitor cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support our ~~business~~ operations ~~we distribute~~in these countries, the Company distributes the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors.

Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many customers operating in different industries; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited and we do not believe significant credit risk existed at ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Though our results of operations depend on our ability to successfully collect payment from our customers for work performed, historically, credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables have not been material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. If any of our customers enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress, ~~resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic,~~ our credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables could increase, which would negatively impact our results of operations. On March 4, 2022, EPAM announced that we will discontinue services to customers located in Russia. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company evaluated trade receivables and contract assets for estimated future credit losses from customers located in Russia and recorded bad debt expense of $8.4 million, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses reflecting the deterioration of credit-worthiness of its customers in Russia.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk is influenced by the changes in interest rates on our cash and cash equivalent deposits, short-term investments and paid on any outstanding balance on our borrowings, mainly under our ~~credit facility,~~2021 Credit Agreement, which is subject to a variety of rates depending on the ~~type~~currency and timing of funds borrowed. We do not believe we are exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates related to these deposits, investments and borrowings.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our global operations are conducted predominantly in U.S. dollars. Other than U.S. dollars, we generate revenues principally in euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and Russian rubles. Other than U.S. dollars, we incur expenditures principally in Russian rubles, Hungarian forints, Polish zlotys, British pounds, Swiss francs, euros, Indian rupees, Chinese yuan renminbi and Mexican pesos. As a result, currency fluctuations, specifically the depreciation of the euro, British pound, and Canadian dollar and the appreciation of the Russian ruble, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty, Chinese yuan renminbi and Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar, could negatively impact our results of operations.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, foreign exchange loss was $3.4 million compared to a gain of $5.9 million reported in the corresponding period last year. The loss was largely driven by the strengthening of the euro during the third quarter of 2021. During the ninethree months ended ~~September 30, 2021, foreign exchange loss was $5.8 million compared to a gain of $3.3 million in the corresponding period last year.~~

~~During the quarter ended September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, approximately ~~34.7%~~35.0% of consolidated revenues and ~~43.5%~~57.3% of consolidated operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

ToIn the normal course of business, EPAM uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange ~~rates and hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated operating expenses in the normal course of business, we implemented~~rates. We have a hedging program ~~through which~~whereby we enter into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Russian ruble, Polish zloty, Hungarian forint and Indian rupee transactions. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, all of EPAM’s foreign exchange forward contracts, except the ~~net unrealized gain from these~~Russian ruble foreign exchange forward contracts, were designated as hedges and there is no financial collateral (including cash collateral) required to be posted related to the foreign exchange forward contracts.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, in response to the invasion of Ukraine, EPAM de-designated our Russian ruble foreign exchange forward contracts as hedges and entered into offsetting foreign exchange forward contracts with the same counterparty. The Company determined it was ~~$0.6 million.~~probable the underlying forecasted foreign currency transactions which were hedged would not occur and reclassified the accumulated loss of $43.9 million on the underlying hedge into income which is classified as foreign exchange loss in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, foreign exchange loss was $22.8 million compared to a gain of $2.3 million reported in the corresponding period last year. The loss was largely driven by the recognition of the accumulated loss of the Russian ruble foreign exchange forward contracts partially offset by foreign exchange gains from the devaluation of the Russian ruble.

Management supplements results reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing our business and evaluating its performance. When important to management’s analysis, operating results are compared on the basis of “constant currency”, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure excludes the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations by translating the current period revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison.

During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, we reported revenue growth of ~~51.6%~~50.1% over the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. Had our consolidated revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, we would have reported revenue growth of ~~50.7%~~53.0%. Our revenues ~~benefited from appreciation~~were negatively impacted by the depreciation of the euro, British pound and the Russian ruble ~~and Canadian dollar~~ relative to the U.S. dollar. During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, we reported ~~a net~~an increase in income ~~increase~~from operations of ~~29.3%~~20.5% over the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. Had our consolidated results been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, we would have reported ~~a net~~an increase in income ~~increase~~from operations of ~~26.1%~~8.7%. ~~Net income~~Income from operations was most positively impacted by ~~appreciation~~the depreciation of the ~~euro and British pound~~Russian ruble relative to the U.S. dollar partially offset by the negative impact from the ~~appreciation~~depreciation of the ~~Russian ruble~~euro and British pound relative to the U.S. dollar.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter 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

From time to time, we are involved in litigation and claims arising out of our business and operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding, nor are we aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings pending or contemplated to be brought against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, ~~including~~ the fast-changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economic conditions, and our significant operations in the emerging market economies of Eastern Europe, which may be impacted by fluctuating military activities in and near Ukraine and enhanced sanctions and responses between the U.S. and Russia as well as new or enhanced sanctions imposed by the U.S., Canada, and European countries against Belarus, see the risk factor below and the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~ 2021.

We have significant operations and personnel in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia and conflict in the region has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, customers, service delivery, and financial results.

Economic, civil, military, and political uncertainty exists and may increase in many of the regions where we operate and derive our revenues. In particular, as of December 31, 2021, more than half of our global delivery, administrative and support personnel were located in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, all of which are involved in a military action in Ukraine. We also have significant operations in countries bordering Ukraine and in the nearby emerging market economies of Eastern Europe, which currently are, and in the future may be, adversely impacted by regional instability.

On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces attacked Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. In addition to a significant number of personnel and operations in Ukraine, we also own an office building and lease office space in a number of cities in Ukraine, all or some of which may be damaged or destroyed as a result of the attack against Ukraine. The impact to Ukraine, as well as actions taken by other countries, including new and stricter sanctions by Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the U.S. and other countries and organizations against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia, the Donbas region of Ukraine, and Belarus, and each country’s potential response to such sanctions, tensions, and military actions has and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our operations. In order to protect against potential cyberattacks or other information security threats, some of our customers are considering or have implemented steps to block internet communications with Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, which has had a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver our services from those locations. Our customers have and may continue to seek altered terms, conditions, and delivery locations for the performance of services, delay planned work or seek services from alternate providers, or suspend, terminate, fail to renew, or reduce existing contracts or services, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. The material adverse effects from the conflict and enhanced sanctions activity may continue to disrupt our delivery of services, has caused us to shift portions of our work occurring in the region to other countries, and may continue to restrict our ability to engage in certain projects or with certain customers in the region. We discontinued services to certain customers located in Russia and expect to discontinue services to all customers located in Russia and to complete the phased exit of our operations in Russia at or near the end of the second quarter of 2022. We expect to continue operating in Belarus. A significant number of our employees in Russia and Belarus have already relocated, and we expect that substantially more Russia- and Belarus-based employees will relocate to delivery locations outside their countries.

EPAM is actively monitoring and enhancing the security of our people and the stability of our infrastructure, including communications, physical assets, and internet availability. We are executing our business continuity plans in response to developments as they occur and to protect the safety of our personnel and address potential impacts to our delivery infrastructure. To date we have not experienced any material interruptions in our infrastructure, utility supply or internet connectivity needed to support our customers. We have developed and, in some cases, implemented additional contingency plans to relocate work and/or personnel to other geographies within our global footprint and add new locations, as appropriate. Increased operations and hiring in existing or new geographies, including in more developed economies, is likely to increase our expenses, especially compensation expenses for technology professionals in those markets, which could reduce the profitability of our business.

Table of Contents

Our business continuity plans are designed to address known contingency scenarios to ensure that we have adequate processes and practices in place to protect the safety of our people and to handle potential impacts to our delivery capabilities. Our crisis management procedures, business continuity plans, and disaster recovery capabilities may not be effective at preventing or mitigating the effects of prolonged or multiple crises, such as civil unrest, military conflict, and a pandemic in a concentrated geographic area or in multiple geographies. The current events in the regions where we operate and where we derive a significant amount of our business pose security risks to our people, our facilities, our operations, and infrastructure, such as utilities and network services, and the further disruption of any or all of them could materially adversely affect our operations and financial results, cause additional volatility in the price of our stock, and reduce our profitability. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the military action in Ukraine or its impacts in Russia and Belarus as the conflict and government reactions are rapidly developing and beyond our control. Whether in these countries or in others in which we operate, prolonged civil unrest, political instability or uncertainty, military activities, or broad-based sanctions, should they continue for the long term or escalate, could require us to further rebalance our geographic concentrations and could have a material adverse effect on our personnel, operations, financial results and business outlook.

The risks and uncertainties that we face are not limited to those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common stock.
