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, 20222023 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 necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented.
Risks and Uncertainties — 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, 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 Ukraine and Belarus, which have been impacted by 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 September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the Company had $51.7$57.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Ukraine and $37.1$31.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Belarus. Cash in Ukraine and Belarus 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 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 to the extent it is possible to do so. In April 2024, Belarus instituted new restrictions on distributing dividends from Belarus to shareholders in certain countries, including the U.S. The restrictions are initially scheduled to remain in place until the end of 2025 and may prevent EPAM from distributing excess funds, if any, out of Belarus. The Company does not expect these new restrictions to have a material impact on its ability to meet its worldwide cash obligations during this period. 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. However, 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. See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for further discussion of the Company’s response to the invasion of Ukraine and sale of its operations in Russia.
Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many customersclients 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 statements. If any of the Company’s customersclients 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.

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, Swiss francs and Canadian dollars and incurs expenditures principally in euros, Polish zlotys, Indian rupees, British pounds, Swiss francs, Mexican pesos, Hungarian forints, ColombianMexican pesos, Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos, Armenian drams and Chinese yuan renminbi. The Company’s international operations expose it to risk of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (both third-party and intercompany) and translation of earnings and cash flows into U.S. dollars. 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 Polish zloty, Indian rupee and Hungarian forint transactions. See Note 6 “Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion regardinginformation on the Company’s termination of the hedging program for the Russian ruble.program.
Interest rate risk — The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates.

TheFollowing the invasion, the Company executed its business continuity plans following the invasion to assist relocating employees residing in Ukraine and the surrounding region, who were impacted by the war and geopolitical uncertainty, to other countries and to assign delivery personnel in locations outside of the region to serve in unbilled standby or backup capacities to ensure the continuity of delivery for its customersclients who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion and ongoing war. In addition to costs incurred as part of EPAM’s humanitarian commitment to Ukraine, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.0 million and $9.4 million ofno expenses respectively, related to thesethe standby resources classified as Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Also, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company incurred expenses of $0.4$0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to its geographic repositioning efforts, classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $1.0$7.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, related to the standby resources, classified as Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and $4.4$0.2 million and $37.5 million, respectively, related to its geographic repositioning efforts, classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million, classified as Interest and other income, net related to a financial asset in Ukraine which the Company believed to be unrealizable due to the events in Ukraine.
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 that each of these scenarios produced for these assets, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
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 $5.7 million reflecting the deterioration of creditworthiness of its customers in Russia during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The fair value of the contingent consideration 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 rates used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration both asfor the 2024 Acquisitions ranged from a minimum of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were at12% to a maximum of 20.0%, if a20%. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the 2023 Acquisitions was applied.16.0%. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates or probability assumptions related to achieving the various earnout criteria would result in a change in the fair value of the recorded contingent liabilities. Such changes, if any, are recorded within Interest and other income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income.

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:

These investments are recorded at cost and are remeasured to fair value based on certain observable price changes or impairment events as they occur. The carrying amount of these investments was $31.7$31.9 million and $28.4$31.7 million as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively, and is classified as Other noncurrent assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 Polish zloty, Indian rupee and Hungarian forint transactions.
During the three months endedAs of March 31, 2022, in response to the invasion of 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. As of September 30, 2023, all of the Company’s Russian ruble foreign exchange forwards contracts had settled.
As of September 30, 2023,2024, all of the Company’s 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.

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 8.37.8 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 immaterialnot material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and 2022. See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for discussion of impairment of right-of-use assets in Russia.

13.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 unvested 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, unvested equity-settled 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.

14.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.

22

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.
Ukraine Humanitarian Commitment — On March 4, 2022, EPAM announced that it has established a $100.0 million humanitarian commitment to support its employees in Ukraine and their families. See Note 2 “Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine” for more information regarding commitmentscommitment to humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Deferred Consideration — During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased software licenses for use in the regular course of business in exchange for an upfront payment and fixed, futuresubsequent annual payments due over the next 4 years. This agreement was modified during the year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the undiscounted deferred consideration amounts owed totaled approximately $60.0$49.7 million and are expected to be paid as follows: $14.2$16.6 million during the remainder of 2023, $14.0 million in 2024, $15.1$16.6 million in 2025, and $16.7$16.5 million in 2026.
Contractual Commitment — On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a 5-year agreement for cloud services through which it committed to spending at least $75.0 million over the term of the agreement. The Company has the ability to cancel the commitment whereby it would incur a cancellation penalty of 20% of the remaining contractual commitment.

15.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, certain taxes included in operating expenses, 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 and benefits. 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 customerclient relationship generally correlates with the customer’sclient’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between customerclient locations and the geographic boundaries of the Company’s reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular customerclient is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between customerclient executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the customer’sclient’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.
On July 26, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its remaining holdings in Russia to a third party. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer has operations associated with this segment. See Note 2 “Impact

Business Update Regarding the War in Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine and its people and EPAM has repeatedly 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 as well as in the broader region, and we have continued to support relocating our employees to lower risk locations, both in Ukraine and to other countries where we operate. The vast majority of our Ukraine employees are in safe locations and operating at levels of productivity consistent with those achieved prior to the attack. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, Ukraine remains thecontinues to be our largest delivery location with the most delivery professionals. Furthermore, we have maintained our $100 million humanitarian aid commitment to our people in Ukraine in addition to our other donations and volunteer efforts.
Prior to the attack in February 2022, Russia was our third largest delivery location by the number of delivery professionals. In April 2022, the Company announced the beginning of a phased exit of our operations in Russia in close collaboration with our employees, contractors, and customers. We have discontinued services to certain customers located in Russia and on July 26, 2023, we completed the sale of our remaining holdings in Russia to a third party.

The impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on our operations, personnel, and physical assets in Ukraine has had, and, along with any escalation of the war that includes Belarus’ territory or military, could continue to have a material adverse effect on our operations. 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 Belarus, and Belarus’ responses to those sanctions, including counter-sanctions and other actions, have had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our operations. CustomersClients 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 customersclients have implemented steps to block internet communications with 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 to these customersclients 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 customersclients in or from the region, and could negatively impact our personnel, operations, financial results and business outlook. Our Board of Directors continues its oversight of our strategic, geopolitical, and cybersecurity risks and the risks related to our geographic expansion. Our Board has received updates from management during both regular and special meetings, while also providing oversight of the risks associated with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other strategic areas of importance related to the war.
Moving Forward
We continue to execute our business continuity plans and adapt to developments as they occur to protect the safety of our people and address impacts toon our delivery infrastructure, including reallocating work to other geographies within our global footprint. We have engaged both our personnel and our customersclients to meet their needs and to mitigatewhile mitigating delivery challenges. EPAM continues to operate productively in more than 5055 countries and provides consistent high-quality delivery to our customers.clients. Our global delivery centers have sufficient resources, including infrastructure and capital, to support ongoing operations. We continue to rapidly respond to the difficult conditions in Ukraine while maintaining a focus on customersour clients and long-term growth.
ImplementationIn previous years after the invasion, implementation and execution of our business continuity plans, relocation costs, our humanitarian commitment to our people in Ukraine, and the cost of our phased exit from Russia resulted in materially increased expenses during 2022 and some of these expenses continue to be incurred in the first nine months of 2023. Wecontinued during this quarter and we expect some of those expenses will continue to occur in subsequent quarters for some time in the future.
We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the war in Ukraine because the conflict and government reactions change quickly and are beyond our control. Prolonged military activities, broad-based sanctions and counter-sanctions, or escalation of the war that includes Belarus’ territory or military could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. The information contained in this section is accurate as of the date hereof but may become outdated due to changing circumstances beyond our control or present awareness. For additional information on the various risks posed by the attack against Ukraine and the impact in the region as well as other disruptorsrisks to our business, please read “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023 and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this quarterly report.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues in the United States decreased 3.8% to $1.982 billion compared to $2.059 billion in the same period of the prior year, largely driven by a ramp down initiated in the fourth quarter of 2022 of a large transformation program at a customer that was previously in our top 10 customers as well as reduced spending at certain other large accounts and reduced demand for our services as our customers took action to reduce spending in light of the anticipated global slowdown in economic activity.region.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues from customers in the APAC region decreased by $6.3 million or 20.2% and $15.1 million or 16.5% compared to the corresponding periods of 2022, mainly due to decline in the Financial Services vertical.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, revenues in the CEE geography experienced a decrease of $6.8 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2022. Revenues in the region during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $1.5 million and $13.3 million of revenues from customers in Russia, respectively. On March 4, 2022, we announced our decision to discontinue our services to customers located in Russia and on July 26, 2023, we completed the sale of our remaining holdings in Russia to a third-party. During this time, we have been providing transition support for customers in this market while pursuing the sale and as a result of this sale, the revenues from this geography are expected to dissipate in the future.
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, and project-related travel costs for our delivery professionals and fees for subcontractors who are assigned to customerclient 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 for clients during a given period. Our employees are a critical asset, necessary for our continued success and, therefore, we are continuously exploring new geographies, markets, and sources to locate talented personnel and present them with competitive compensation programs and educational opportunities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $794.3$834.3 million representing a decrease of 3.9%2.5% from $826.8$855.9 million in the corresponding period of 2022.2023. The decrease was primarily due to lowera decrease in compensation and benefits costs other than stock-based compensation expense largely attributable to a 10.0%the 9.2% decrease in the average number of production professionals and reduced variable compensation expense attributablewhich reflects the impact from the Cost Optimization Program initiated in the third quarter of 2023. See Note 9 “Cost Optimization Program” for more information regarding the Company’s restructuring program. Other drivers that contributed to the lower levelyear-over-year decrease were a decline in costs associated with our humanitarian efforts for Ukraine of financial performance expected for the year,$1.8 million and a reduction of $1.0 million forour unbilled business continuity resources of $7.4 million. The decreases were partially offset by higher expenses due to a $6.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and benefits costs, attributable to salary increases and promotions for existing delivery professionals as well as higher compensation and benefits costs resultingthe negative impact from the relocationappreciation of employees to higher cost geographies. foreign currencies in certain of our delivery locations.
Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was 68.9%71.6% and 67.4%70.7% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year is primarily due to lower utilization attributable to uneven demand for our services and compensation and benefits costs being a higher percentage of our revenues due to the ongoing transition of customer work to higher cost geographies.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $2.459 billion representing an$6.3 million increase of 0.2% from $2.454 billion in the corresponding period of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs, attributable to salary increases and promotions for existing delivery professionals as well as due to the relocation of employees to higher cost geographies, $17.8 million of higher stock-based compensation expenses and the reversal of $21.4 million of previously accrued discretionary compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2022. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $17.0 million of incremental costs associated with our humanitarian efforts for Ukraine, a decrease of $3.4 million of unbilled business continuity resources and reduced variable compensation expense attributable to the lower level of financial performance expected for the year. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was 69.6% and 68.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to lower utilization attributable to uneven demand for our services, the ongoing transition of customer work to higher cost geographies, a higher level of stock-based compensation expense as well as a reversaland the negative impact from the appreciation of previously accrued discretionary compensation expensesforeign currencies in the first quartercertain of 2022.our delivery locations.

Provision for Income Taxes
In determining its interim provision for income taxes, the Company uses 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.
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 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.

Results by Business Segment
Our operations consisthave historically consisted of three reportable segments: North America, Europe, and Russia. On July 26, 2023, we completed the sale of our remaining holdings in Russia to a third party. As a result of this sale, we no longer have operations associated with the Russia segment. 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, 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 and benefits. 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 itsthe client base and market. As managerial responsibility for a particular customerclient relationship generally correlates with the customer’sclient’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between customerclient locations and the geographic boundaries of our reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular customerclient is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between customerclient executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the customer’sclient’s activity would be reported through the respective management team’steam member’s reportable segment.
On March 4, 2022, we announced that we will discontinue Our Europe segment includes our services to customers locatedbusiness in Russia while staying committed to providing transition support for customers in this market and in April 2022 began the process of a phased exit of our operations in Russia.

Effects of Inflation
Economies in many countries where we operate 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. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition to date. We continue to track the impact of inflation, particularly on wages, while attempting to minimize its effects through pricing and cost management strategies. A higher-than-normal rate of inflation in the future could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, including those related to inflation, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.

Operating Activities
NetOur largest source of cash provided by operating activities is cash generated from our professional services that we provide to our clients. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include compensation to our employees and related costs, payments for leased facilities, various general corporate expenditures and income tax payments. Since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, our operating activities included using cash on humanitarian efforts for Ukraine and geographic repositioning of our workforce.
Cash provided by operating activities during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the Company's cash collections from client contracts, which was partially offset by variable compensation payments and other operating outflows. The first three months of 2024 were positively impacted by lower payments for variable compensation as compared to the first three months of 2023 was $391.3 million,attributable to a lower level of financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2023 and were negatively impacted by an increase of $113.2 millionin days sales outstanding compared to $278.0 milliona decrease in days sales outstanding during the first three months of 2023. Cash provided by operating activities in the corresponding period of 2022. The first nine months of 20222023 was negatively impactedprimarily driven by an increase in days sales outstanding, a higher level ofthe Company's cash collections from client contracts, which were partially offset by variable compensation payments made based on 2021 performance and cash outflows related to EPAM’s humanitarian efforts for Ukraine and geographic repositioning.
Investing Activities
NetOur primary uses of cash from investing activities consist of purchases of computer hardware, software and office equipment, as well as investments into office buildings and new businesses. We also use cash for short-term investments and time deposits, and receive cash upon maturity of these deposits. Most of our investments are typically short-term and cash equivalent in nature but we may invest in longer term deposits if the terms are favorable. The cash used in investing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 was $46.1primarily attributable to $6.7 million compared to $151.8used for capital expenditures and $44.1 million used for the acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired. The cash used in investing activities during the same period in 2022. During the first nine months of 2023 the cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to $18.4$7.9 million used for capital expenditures and $14.0 millionno cash was used for the acquisition of a business, net of cash acquired, compared to cash used for capital expenditures of $60.1 million, an investment of $60.0 million into time deposits and $10.5 million for the acquisitions of businesses netin the corresponding period of cash acquired during the comparable period in 2022.2023.
Financing Activities
Net cashCash used in financing activities was $143.4 million in the first nine monthsmainly consists of 2023 compared to $10.1 million net cash used in financing activities in the same period of 2022. During 2023 we commenced a program to repurchaserepurchasing shares of EPAM common stock pursuant to the publicly announcedunder a share repurchase program and during the first nine months ofannounced in 2023, we used $128.4 million of cash to repurchase our common stock. In addition, we used cash for the payments of withholding taxes related to net share settlements of restricted stock units, repayments of $28.2 million indebt, and settlements of the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions of businesses. Cash provided by financing activities mainly consists of the proceeds from the purchases of shares under our ESPP and exercises of stock options issued under our long-term incentive plans as well as proceeds from debt. We typically do not rely on debt to supplement our cash flows. During the first ninethree months of 2023,2024 our main use of cash from financing activities consisted of $120.6 million of payments to repurchase our common stock, compared to $22.1$8.5 million paid in the corresponding period of 2022. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included repayments of debt of $2.6 million, compared to $11.5 million of repayments of debt in the corresponding period of 2022.2023. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash received from the exercises of stock options issued under our long-term incentive plans and proceeds from the purchase of shares under our ESPP of $28.6$14.6 million in the first ninethree months of 2023,2024, compared to $31.4$2.5 million received in the corresponding period of 2022.2023.

Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, 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, other various geopolitical events, and the consequences and related measures to contain itstheir impact have caused and may continue to cause material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The future impact of the invasion of Ukraine and responsive measures cannot be predicted with certainty andThese disruptions may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital, decrease returns on investment, 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. 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, as described elsewhere in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 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. To the extent that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and operating cash flows 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. Therebusiness and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all. 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023 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.

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 risks, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our internationalglobal 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. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

Table of Contents
We have cash in several countries, including Ukraine and Belarus, which could be impacted by the invasion of Ukraine and where the banking sector remains subject to periodic 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, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had $51.7$57.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Ukraine and $37.1$31.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in banks in Belarus. Cash in Ukraine and Belarus is used for the operational needs of the local entities and cash balances change with the expected operating needs of these entities. We regularly monitor cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support our operations in these countries, we distribute the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors to the extent it is possible to do so. In April 2024, Belarus instituted new restrictions on distributing dividends from Belarus to shareholders in certain countries, including the U.S. The restrictions are initially scheduled to remain in place until the end of 2025 and may prevent EPAM from distributing excess funds, if any, out of Belarus. The Company does not expect these new restrictions to have a material impact on our ability to meet our worldwide cash obligations during this period. 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. However, a banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold our funds, or sanctions may result in the loss of our deposits or adversely affect our ability to complete banking transactions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many customersclients operating in different industries; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited and we do not believe significant credit risk existed as of September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024. Though our results of operations depend on our ability to successfully collect payment from our customersclients 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 customersclients enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress, our credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables could increase, which would negatively impact our results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from variable rates related to our cash and cash equivalent deposits, short-term investments, and our borrowings, mainly under our 2021 Credit Agreement, which is subject to a variety of rates depending on the 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 and Canadian dollars and incur expenditures principally in euros, Polish zlotys, Indian rupees, British pounds, Swiss francs, Mexican pesos, Hungarian forints, ColombianMexican pesos, Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos, Armenian drams and Chinese yuan renminbi. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations in any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our results of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, approximately 33.9%32.9% of consolidated revenues and 55.7%62.7% of consolidated operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
To manage the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated operating expenses incurred in the normal course of business, we implemented a hedging program through which 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 Polish zloty, Indian rupee, and Hungarian forint transactions. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, all of EPAM’s 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 quarterthree months 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 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 as2024, foreign exchange loss in the condensed consolidated statement of income.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, foreign exchange gain was $3.9$1.9 million compared to a gainloss of $6.7$4.6 million reported in the corresponding period last year. Foreign exchange gainloss was primarily driven by the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies on the Company’sour assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

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 thirdfirst quarter of 2023,2024, we reported a revenue decline of 6.1%3.8% compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2022.2023.

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, 2023March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
