Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenues are comprised of: 1) transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed; 2) fees per transaction processed; 3) fees per account on file during the period; or 4) some combination thereof.
The Company’s arrangements with clients often consist of multiple services and products (multiple-element arrangements). In accounting for multiple-element arrangements, the Company assesses the elements of the contract and whether each element has standalone value and allocates revenue to the various elements based on their estimated selling price as a component of total consideration for the arrangement. The selling price is based on current selling prices offered by the Company or another party for current products or management's best estimate of a selling price.
FIRST DATA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In the case of contracts that the Company owns and manages, revenue is comprised of fees charged to the client, net of interchange fees and assessments charged by the credit card associations, and is recognized at the time the client accepts a point of sale transaction. The fees charged to the client are a percentage of the credit card and signature-based debit card transaction’s dollar value, a fixed amount, or a combination of the two. Personal identification number based debit (PIN-debit) and PINless-debit network fees are recognized in “Reimbursable PIN debit fees, postage, and other” revenues and expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. STAR Network access fees charged to clients are assessed on a per transaction basis. Interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations to the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and network fees related to PIN-debit and PINless-debit transactions charged by debit networks were as follows for the periods presented:

Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when it receives payments or invoices in advance of the delivery of products or the performance of services. The deferred revenue is recognized into earnings when underlying performance obligations are achieved. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, current deferred revenue included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in

the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets was $148$155 million and $140$149 million, respectively,respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, noncurrent deferred revenue included within "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets was $170$176 million and $146$184 million, respectively.
A major componentIn January 2017, the Company determined that standalone value had been achieved for its Clover terminal devices, principally because a secondary market had been established. The Company accounted for the change on a prospective basis. Beginning January 1, 2017, the Company recognized revenue on sales of Clover terminal devices upon delivery, while Clover terminal devices sold prior to January 1, 2017 continued to be deferred over the term of the respective processing agreement. As of March 31, 2017, approximately $84 million of the Company's deferred revenue represents certainrepresented sales of Clover terminal devices which dodid not have standalone value as of September 30, 2016. The Company will continueprior to assessthe change in the future whether an adequate secondary market is capable of developing or has developed for these devices to establish standalone value. If a secondary market is deemed capable of developing or develops whereby clients are able to substantially recover their original purchase price, the Company will recognize revenue for Clover terminal devices upon delivery.
Common Stock
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, 160.7 million shares of Class B common stock were converted to 160.7 million shares of Class A common stock. The majority of the shares converted shortly after the expiration of the Company's initial public offering lockup period which ended on April 11, 2016.accounting.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current-year financial statement presentation. Specifically, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 reflects a $123 million reclassification related to settlement activities to conform certain international joint ventures to our global policies, which increased "Cash and cash equivalents" and decreased "Accounts receivable". The unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the reclassification of $123 million within “Net Cash provided by operating activities”.
New Accounting Guidance
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the companyCompany expects to be entitled in an exchange for those goods or services. It also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance appliesFASB has subsequently issued several amendments to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contractsthe standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses, identifying performance obligations, and principal versus agent consideration (reporting revenue gross vs. net).
Since the transferissuance of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are withinASC 606 and ASC 340-40 (collectively, the scope of other standards. As amendedNew Revenue Standard) in August 2015,May 2014, the guidance is effectiveCompany has been preparing for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 as well as interim periods within those annual periods using either the full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before December 15, 2016.New Revenue Standard. The Company is currently evaluatinghas been monitoring the impactsactivity of the newFASB and the Transition Resource Group as it relates to specific industry interpretive guidance and further overall interpretations and clarifications.
Beginning in the second half of 2016, the Company began Phase I of its three-phase plan to complete its adoption of the New Revenue Standard:
Phase I entailed activities such as completion of an accounting guidance gap analysis, reviewing significant revenue streams (and related costs) and representative contracts to determine the potential changes to its existing accounting policies. The Company has completed Phase I.
Phase II will further determine the impact of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard and will include activities such as validating and concluding on potential accounting guidance gaps from Phase I, quantifying the effects the New Revenue Standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. statements, identifying and documenting changes to its accounting policies, expanding disclosures as required by the New Revenue Standard, and identifying and addressing the impact the New Revenue Standard will have on business processes, systems and internal controls to support the recognition and disclosure requirements. The Company has begun Phase II.
Phase III will complete the Company’s adoption and implementation of the New Revenue Standard and will include activities such as running parallel reporting for impacted areas under the New and Current Revenue Standard, recording the accounting adjustments that were identified in Phase II, evaluating and testing modified and newly implemented internal controls over the New Revenue Standard, and revising the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
While the Company is still in the process of evaluating the full impact of the New Revenue Standard and related amendments on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company has identified certain expected changes of the New Revenue Standard on its consolidated financial statements and is in the process of quantifying the impact. These include items such as:
The capitalization of certain costs that are part of setting up a customer on the Company’s platforms and certain customer acquisition costs that meet the definition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract, both of which are currently recognized as an expense when incurred; and
Certain software license arrangements that are currently recognized over the term of the software arrangement may be

recognized earlier.
The Company is also continuing to validate potential changes, which may be significant to the consolidated financial statements, such as:
Certain customer contractual arrangements with volume-based discounts which could result in a potential deferral of revenue;
Certain services revenue associated with programming activities that currently have standalone value and are recognized as work is performed may need to be deferred and recognized over the contract period; and
Principal versus agent conclusions (reporting revenue gross vs. net), including interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations, network fees related to PIN-debit and PINless debit transactions and revenue-based commission payments to Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and sales channels.
The Company plans to adopt the New Revenue Standard, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this New Revenue Standard, on January 1, 2018, and the Company currently expects to apply the modified retrospective transition method. This would result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the New Revenue Standard to contracts in process as of the adoption date. Under this method, the Company would not restate the prior consolidated financial statements presented. However, the Company would include additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets. The guidance also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases for lessors and provides new presentation and disclosure requirements for both lessees and lessors. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period subsequent to adoption of the proceedingpreceding revenue recognition guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change some aspects of the accounting for stock-based payments to employees. Under the new guidance, companies will be required to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. The guidance may also change how companies account for forfeitures and an employee’s use of shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance will beCompany adopted the various amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2017 with an effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 as well as interim periods within those annual periods.

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change the accounting for credit impairment. Under the new guidance, companies are required to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This new guidance will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Statement of Cash Flows
In AugustNovember 2016, the FASB issued guidance which clarifiesthat will change the treatmentpresentation of severalrestricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. Under the new guidance, companies will be required to include restricted cash and restricted cash

Given this change, transfers between cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents will not be reported as cash flow categories.activities on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the guidance clarifies that whenrequires entities to disclose information about the nature of restrictions on its cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class ofequivalents, including restricted cash flows and cannotcash equivalents. This new guidance will be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use.

The Company'sguidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of thethis guidance in the third quarter of 2016 did notto have ana material impact on the Company's financial statementsposition, results of operations or disclosures.cash flows.
Pension Costs
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires employers that sponsor defined benefit plans for pensions and/or other post-retirement benefits to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. This new guidance will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company plans to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2018. This guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4: Net Income (Loss) Per Share
UponAttributable to First Data Holdings, Inc. (FDH), the Company's direct parent company, merging with and into FDC on October 13, 2015, all outstanding shares of FDH's Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Series A Voting Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) automatically converted to identical shares of the Company's stock. Following the filing of the Company's prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2015, holders of existing Class B Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock received Class B Common Stock in the Company. Other than voting rights, this common stock has the same rights as the Class A Common Stock and therefore both are treated as the same class of stock for purposes of the net income (loss) per share calculation.Corporation Per Share
Basic net income (loss) attributable to FDC per share is calculated by dividing net"Net income (loss) attributable to FDCFDC" by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for any potential dilutive shares. Diluted net income (loss) attributable to FDC per share has been computed to give effect to the impact, if any, of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of the Company’s common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in net income (loss) attributable to FDC per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company's common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
Other than voting rights, the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have the same rights and therefore both are treated as the same class of stock for purposes of the net income (loss) attributable to FDC per share calculation.

Fair Value Measurement
The carrying amounts for the Company's derivative financial instruments are the estimated fair value of the financial instruments. The Company’s derivatives are not exchange listed and therefore the fair value is estimated under an income approach using Bloomberg analytics models that are based on readily observable market inputs. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest and foreign currency exchange rates, yield curves, and the credit quality of the counterparties. The models also incorporate the Company’s creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk. Inputs to the derivative pricing models are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity and, accordingly, the Company’s derivatives arewere classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. While the Company believes its estimates result in a reasonable reflection of the fair value of these instruments, the estimated values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our results, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This management's discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with the management's discussion and analysis and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20152016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2016.24, 2017.
Executive Overview
We sitFirst Data Corporation sits at the center of global electronic commerce. We believe we offer our clients the most complete array of integrated solutions in the industry, covering their needs across next generation commerce technologies, merchant acquiring, issuing, and network solutions. We serve our clients in 118 countries, reaching approximately 6 million business locations over the course of a year and over 4,000 financial institutions. We believe we have the industry’s largest distribution network, driven by our partnerships with many of the world’s leading financial institutions, our direct sales force, and a network of distribution partners. We are the largest merchant acquirer, issuer processor, and independentthird largest network services provider in the world,United States, enabling businesses to accept electronic payments, helping financial institutions issue credit, debit and prepaid cards, and routing secure transactions between them. InAs evidenced by the following metrics, we continue to grow our global business which operates in over 100 countries:
|
| | | | | | |
Business Trends | | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2014 |
Transactions processed (a) | | 88 billion | | 79 billion | | 74 billion |
Payment volumes | | $1.9 trillion | | $1.7 trillion | | $1.7 trillion |
(a) 2,800, 2,500 and 2,300 per second in 2016, 2015 we processed 79 billion transactions globally, or over 2,500 per second. In our largest market, the United States, we acquired $1.7 trillion of payment volume, accounting for nearly 10% of U.S. GDP.and 2014, respectively
Our business is characterized by transaction related fees, multi-year contracts, and a diverse client base, which allows us to grow alongside our clients. Our multi-year contracts allow us to achieve a high level of recurring revenues with the same clients. While the contracts typically do not specify fixed revenues to be realized thereunder, they do provide a framework for revenues to be generated based on volume of services provided during such contracts term. Our business also generally requires minimal incremental capital expenditures and working capital to support additional revenue within our existing business lines.
Our Strategy
Our ability to grow our business is influenced by global expenditure growth, increasing our share in electronic payments and providing value-added products and services. We grow our business through diversification of product offerings such as credit, debit, prepaid, Clover, and our suite of security products. We believe we offer our clients the most complete array of integrated solutions in our industry, covering their needs across next-generation commerce technology, merchant acquiring, issuing, and network solutions. We believe this differentiates us from our competition and will continue to drive our growth in the future.
We work with a variety of partners to deliver our solutions. We help merchants by delivering data-driven insights and other services to help them grow and create better and secure purchase experiences for consumers across all commerce platforms. We assist merchants in day to day operations of their business via our Clover line of products which enables merchants to more efficiently run their businesses, build customer loyalty, and gain valuable insights which help grow their businesses. We provide financial institutions with solutions to help them grow their revenues, enhance customer satisfaction, and deliver their products more timely and efficiently.
We continue to execute on key initiatives:
| |
◦ | Tangible improvements in North America merchant business |
| |
◦ | Strong momentum in international markets |
| |
◦ | Enterprise growth continues |
| |
◦ | Maintaining expense discipline |
Components of Revenue
We generate revenue by providing commerce-enabling solutions. Our major components of revenue have not changed from those discussed within “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations
As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Key factors affecting the comparability of our results of operations are summarized below.
Currency Impact
Although the majority of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars, a portion of our revenues and expenses are in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar can impact our results of operations. Additionally, we have intercompany debts in foreign currencies, which impacts our results of operations. In recent periods, the U.S. dollar has appreciated significantly against most foreign currencies, which has negatively impacted our revenues generated in foreign currencies as presented in U.S. dollars in our unaudited consolidated financial statements. We believe the presentation of constant currency provides relevant information and we use this non-GAAP financial measure to, among other things, evaluate our ongoing operations in relation to foreign currency fluctuations. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). For additional information on our constant currency calculation, see “Segment Results” within this Form 10-Q.
Interest Expense
As a result of our capital market activities over the past few years, we have lowered the weighted average interest rate of our outstanding borrowings from 7.4% as of DecemberMarch 31, 20142015 to 5.3%4.8% as of September 30, 2016. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $18 million in fees to modify existing long-term debt which is recorded within "Interest expense, net" in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Debt Extinguishment Costs
We incurred $3 million and $58 million of losses on debt extinguishment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. We recorded $108 million on debt extinguishments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2017.

See note 3 “Stock Compensation Plans” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our stock compensation plans.
Restructuring and Cost Management Initiatives
During the second quarter, we successfully achieved over $200 million in annualized gross savings from our previously announced cost management initiative. As a result of these initiatives, and our cost management focus, we have increased segment EBITDA margin by over 300 basis points since December 31, 2013. To achieve these savings, we incurred approximately $105 million in restructuring charges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $6 million and $51 million, respectively, in restructuring charges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred $20 million and $40 million, respectively, in restructuring charges. See note 9 “Restructuring” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our restructuring and cost savings initiatives.
Results of Operations
Consolidated results should be read in conjunction with note 5 "Segment Information" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which provides more detailed discussions concerning certain components of theour unaudited consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated within the consolidated results.

The accounting policies of the operatingreportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Intersegment revenues are eliminated in the segment that sells directly to the end market.
Segment revenue excludes reimbursable PIN debit network fees, postage, and other revenue.
Segment EBITDA includes equity earnings in affiliates and excludes depreciation and amortization expense, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, other operating expenses, and other income (expense).

For other affiliates, we include equity earnings in affiliates, excluding amortization expense, in segment revenue and segment EBITDA. In addition, our Global Business Solutions segmentGBS measures reflect revenue-based commission payments to Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and sales channels, which are treated as an expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, as contra revenue.

Costs incurred by Corporate that are attributable to a segment are allocated to the respective segment.
Certain measures exclude the estimated impact of foreign currency changes (constant currency). To present this information, monthly results during the periods presented for entities reporting inwith functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding month of the prior fiscal year, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year. Once translated, each month during the periods presented is added together to calculate the constant currency results for the periods presented.

Global Business Solutions Segment segment revenue increased 2% on a reported and constant currency basis for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, increased 3% on a constant currency basis as we experienced constant currency revenue resulting from sales growth in North America EMEA, and LATAM. North America revenue growth was driven by net pricing growth resultingincreased 2% due to the change in an increase of approximately $13 million from certain fee increases which only impacted the third quarter of 2016accounting for Clover and $12 million from other non-recurring items. North American hardware revenue declined $26 million as 2015 benefited from the roll-out of Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV). Processing revenue was impacted by 7% transaction growth, mostly offset by lower blended yield. The declineboth in blended yield reflects the impactfirst quarter of both pricing and shift in mix within our overall portfolio. Declines were2017, partially offset by anprior year benefits of the leap year and 5% lower blended yield in the first quarter of 2017. The change in accounting for Clover was due to Clover terminals achieving standalone value on January 1, 2017, which resulted in recognizing new Clover sales when shipped. This change was accounted for on a prospective basis, and we continue to benefit from amortizing previously deferred Clover revenue. The impact of this change was a 200 basis point increase in software sales of approximately $5 million as a result of growth in our merchant suite of products. Constant currency revenue growth in EMEA was largely driven by growth in transaction volume. to GBS North America.
Constant currency revenue growth in our LATAM region was driven by revenue growthincreases in ourthe active base and sales volumes in Brazil market of approximately $9$12 million and growth in Argentina of approximately $7$5 million. These increases in LATAM sales were offset by discrete items in the APAC and EMEA regions. APAC constant currency revenue declined due to lowerthe Australian ATM feesbusiness disposition at the end of the third quarter of 2016 which negatively impacted 2017 by $10 million, offset partially by growth in Australia.

North America revenue growth declined as lower hardware sales of $39 million were partially offset by an increase of $23 million in software sales as a result of growth in our merchant suite of products, including the initial roll-out of Transarmor Solutions. In addition, the year to date period benefited by approximately $15 million from other non-recurring items. Processing revenue declined as transaction growth of 7% was offset by lower blended yield, which reflects the impact of attrition within our SMB portfolio.

Cost of services expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to a $19 million increase in stock-based compensation, $8 million increase in merchant credit losses, and a $10 million increase in outside professional services, partially offset by the benefit of foreign currency exchange movements. Stock based compensation expense increased as we began recognizing expense over the respective service period which commenced upon the completion of our initial public offering. Merchant credit losses have increased due to higher fraud rates and charge-backs resulting from a liability shift post EMV implementation. Outside professional services expense increased as we continue to invest in our operating businesses.
Cost of services expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to a $91 million increase in stock-based compensation of which $22 million relates to expenses associated with our initial public offering. Outside professional services, software, and infrastructure expenses increased as we continue to invest in our core operating businesses. Other expenses declined as the first half of 2015 was negatively impacted by two client-related matters totaling $25 million. In addition, included within other expenses is an increase of approximately $20 million in merchant credit losses. Merchant credits losses increased due to higher fraud rates and charge-backs resulting from a liability shift post EMV. Expense increases were partially offset by the benefit of foreign exchange rate movements.

Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to benefits from our strategic expense management initiative during the current period and a decline in retail ISO commissions, partially offset by increased stock-based compensation of $16 million. Retail ISO commissions declined approximately $15 million in North America due to consolidation of retail ISOs to wholesale ISOs via acquisition. The decline was partially offset by growth of ISO commissions in EMEA.
Selling, general, and administrative expense remained flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The growth in stock-based compensation expense was split between expenses associated with our initial public offering of approximately $30 million and recurring expenses of approximately $62 million, which commenced with the completion of our initial public offering last year. The increase in stock based compensation expense was offset by decreases in other salary based compensation and outside professional services expenses, as we experienced benefits from our strategic expense management initiative during 2016.

(Visa) acquired Visa Europe (VE), of which we were a member and shareholder through certain subsidiaries. On June 21, 2016, we received cash of €24.2 million ($27 million equivalent at June 21, 2016) and Visa preferred stock which is convertible into Visa common shares. We will also receive a deferred payment three years afterdriven by foreign currency translation adjustments on intercompany loans as the closing date of the acquisition, valued at approximately €2.3 million ($2.6 million equivalent at June 21, 2016). As of June 21, 2016, the Class A common stock equivalent of the preferred stock was approximately $19 million. However, the preferred shares have been assigned a value of zero based on transfer restrictions and Visa's ability to adjust the conversion ratio dependent on the outcome of existing and potential litigationsfluctuations are in the Visa Europe territory over the next 12 years.

The effective tax ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016 and 2015, respectively, were different fromthan the statutory rate as a result of recording tax expense on our foreign earnings, but not on our domestic earnings, as a result of the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. Our tax expense in allboth periods was also impacted by us not recording tax expense on noncontrolling interests from pass through entities. TheAdditionally, the near breakeven pretax loss for the period ended March 31, 2016 amplifies variations between the effective income tax rate forand the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 benefited by 11% and 5%, respectively, from discrete items.statutory tax rate in the same period.
Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $245$237 million as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. We anticipate it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $122 million over the next twelve months beginning September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 as athe result of the possible closure of federal tax audits, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.
We establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets when, based upon the weight of all available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, we have considered the relative impact of all of the available positive and negative evidence regarding future sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. In the U.S. jurisdiction, we are in a three-year cumulative loss position, which is significant negative evidence, outweighing the positive evidence in the form of reversing temporary differences and projections of future income. We will continue to evaluate future financial performance both to determine whether we remain in a three-year cumulative loss position and to determine whether such performance is both sustained and significant enough to provide sufficient evidence to support reversal of the valuation allowance. If projections of future sustained profitability continue, we anticipate that it is reasonably possible that we may reverse substantially all of the valuation allowance in the U.S. jurisdiction in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2016, the U.S. jurisdiction valuation allowance balance was $1.2 billion.
Following the recognitionoriginal establishment of significantthe U.S. jurisdiction deferred tax valuation allowancesallowance in 2012, we have regularly experienced substantial volatility in our effective tax rate infor the interim periods and across years. This is due to deferred income tax benefits not being recognized in several jurisdictions, most notably in the United States, and changes in the amount, mix, and timing of pretax earnings in tax paying jurisdictions that can have a significant impact on the overall effective tax rate. ThisThe interim and full year volatility is likely to continue in the future periods until it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize the benefits of net operating loss carryforwards and the deferred tax valuation allowances arecan be released.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our source of liquidity is principally cash generated from operating activities supplemented as necessary on a short-term basis by borrowings against our senior secured revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility. We believe our current level of cash and short-term financing capabilities along with future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet the ongoing needs of the business. To the extent future cash flows exceed the ongoing needs of the business, we may use all or a portion of the excess cash to reduce our debt balances.
Over the past few years, we completed various amendments and modifications to severalcertain of our debt agreements in an effort to extend our debt maturities and lower interest rates. Furthermore, we have used excess cash generated by the business to pay down certain tranches of debt. Our current level of debt may limit our ability to get additional funding at our current funding rate beyond
our revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility if needed at our current funding rate.needed. Details regarding our debt structure are provided in note 2 "Borrowings" and note 13 "Subsequent Events" to our unaudited financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in note 2 "Borrowings" in "Item 8.

The senior secured term loans due July 2022 bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 375 basis points or, solely with respect to the U.S. dollar denominated term loans, a base rate plus 275 basis points. In connection with this transaction, we recorded $4 million in loss on debt extinguishment and incurred $4 million in debt issuance costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we used excess cash generated by the business along with existing cash on our unaudited consolidated balance sheet to pay down outstanding borrowings. The chart below shows the net debt balances as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as total long-term borrowings plus short-term and current portion of long-term borrowings at par value excluding lines of credit used for settlement purposes less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that net debt provides additional insight on the level and management of leverage. Net debt is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for total outstanding GAAP borrowings.

Credit ratings
As of November 9, 2016,May 8, 2017, our long-term corporate family rating from Moody’s was B1 (outlook stable). The long-term local issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s was B+ (stable). The long-term issuer default rating from Fitch was BB+ (positive). A decrease in our credit ratings could affect our ability to access future financing at current funding rates, which could result in increased interest expense in the future.
Cash and cash equivalents
Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we held $475$503 million and $429$385 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
Included in cash and cash equivalents are amounts held by two of our domestic subsidiaries Banc of America Merchant Services and Integrated Payment Systems, that are not available to fund operations outside of those subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the cash and cash equivalents held by these subsidiaries totaled $127$172 million and $136$102 million, respectively. All other domestic cash balances, to the extent available, are used to fund our short-term liquidity needs.
Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held outside of the U.S., totaling $320$318 million and $161$271 million as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. As of September 30,March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was approximately $240$233 million and $206 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held by our international subsidiaries that was unavailable for U.S. general corporate purposes. purposes in the near term. A consolidated foreign joint venture held $160 million and $134 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In order for this cash and cash equivalents to be available for general corporate purposes, we would need the joint venture's Board of Directors to declare a dividend. In addition as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $8 million and $10 million, respectively, of the remaining unavailable cash and cash equivalents in our international subsidiaries is held in countries that have currency controls, and $65 million and $62 million, respectively, is retained within our international subsidiaries for their local operating requirements.
We plan to fund any international cash needs throughout the remainder of 2016 within our international operations with2017 through cash flow from and cash held by our international entities, but if necessary, could fund such needs using cash from the United States, subject to satisfying debt covenant restrictions.

Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the periods presented resulted from normal operating activities and reflect the timing of our working capital requirements.
Our operating cash flow is significantly impacted by our level of debt. Approximately $759$245 million and $1.3 billion$186 million in cash interest was paid during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively. The decreaseincrease in cash interest paymentsfor the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is driven by lower principal balances due to the timing of semi-annual coupon payments as a result of debt extinguishmentsrefinancing activity.

(b) | The nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes a $123 million reclassification related to settlement activities to conform certain international joint ventures to our global policies, which increased "Cash and cash equivalents" and decreased "Accounts receivable" in our consolidated balance sheet. |
For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2015,2016, net income, excluding other operating expenses and other income (expense) increased due to the items noted previously within "Results of Operations."

In addition, working capital improved due toswaps in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by the timing of our working capital requirements, operational improvements, particularlyvendor payments as well as improvements in accounts receivable and inventory, and a $123 million reclassification related to settlement activities to conform certain international joint ventures to our global policies. The working capital improvements were partially offsetdriven primarily by two supplier signing bonuses received in the prior year.collection of outstanding balances for weekend activity held at the end of 2016.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and distributions to minority interests and other items.other. We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and users of our financial statements about the amount of cash generated by the business which can then be used to, among other things, reduce outstanding debt. Free cash flow is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP reported financial information.
Free cash flow was $946 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities increased due to the items noted previously. Distributions and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest decreased due to lower earnings and the timing of distributions.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased slightly for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 20152016 due to a $106$6 million reduction in capital expenditures, $89 million of acquisitionsacquisition in the prior year, $27 million of cash received from our investment in Visa Europe, and $17 million of investments purchased in the prior year. The decreases were partially offset by an $8 million investment in an international joint venture in the current year.
For a more detailed discussion on the consideration received from our investment in Visa Europe discussed above, refer to note 12 "Supplemental Financial Information" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities increaseddecreased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 20152016 primarily due to a $599 million decrease in principal payments on long-term debt. Principal payments on long-term debt, including payments of call premiums and debt-related costs, net of proceeds from new debt issuances increased $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periodissuances. The decrease was partially offset by a $423 million reduction in 2015. Additionally, cash flows used in financing activities increased due to $250 million of borrowings outstanding againstproceeds from our senior secured revolving credit facility in the prior year and $59 million of taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards. These increases were partially offset by $208 million of proceeds from our accounts receivable securitization facility.
Senior secured revolving credit facility
As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, our senior secured revolving credit facility had commitments from financial institutions to provide $1.25 billion of credit. The revolving credit facility matures on June 2, 2020. Besides the letters of credit discussed below, we had no$11 million and $0 outstanding balances against this facility as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, $1.2 billion remained available under the facility. Excluding the letters of credit, the maximum amount outstanding against this facility during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was approximately $430$155 million while the average amount outstanding during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was approximately $160$11 million.
The senior secured revolving credit facility can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We utilize our senior secured revolving credit facility to fund operating, investing, or financing activities when cash flows from operating activities are not sufficient. We believe cash on hand and cash flow generated through our normal operating activities in conjunction with the capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility iswill be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.
There are multiple institutions that have commitments under this facility with none representing more than 18%20% of remaining capacity.
Accounts receivable securitization agreement
As of September 30,March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $208$228 million and $160 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings and $326$305 million and $312 million, respectively, of pledged receivables under our accounts receivable securitization agreement. The securitization can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.facility. The maximum borrowing capacity allowed under the accounts receivable securitization agreement was $240 million as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.

We cannot use these lines of credit for general corporate purposes. Certain of these arrangements are uncommitted but, as of the dates presented, we had borrowings outstanding against them. |
In the event one or more of the aforementioned lines of credit becomes unavailable, we will utilize our existing cash, cash flows from operating activities or our senior secured revolving credit facility to meet our liquidity needs.
Covenant compliance Under the senior secured revolving credit and term loan facilities, certain limitations, restrictions, and defaults could occur if we are not able to satisfy and remain in compliance with specified financial ratios. We have agreed that we will not permit the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Covenant EBITDA (both as defined in the agreement) ratioRatio for any 12 month period (last four fiscal quarters) to be greater than 6.06.00 to 1.0.1.00.
The breach of this covenant could result in a default under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loan credit facility and the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration could also result in a default under the indentures for the senior secured notes, senior notes, and senior subordinated notes. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants, including our sole financial covenant with Consolidated Senior Secured Debt of $12.6$12.3 billion, Covenant EBITDA of $3.4 billion and a Ratio of 3.83.60 to 1.0.1.00.
In determining Covenant EBITDA, EBITDA is calculated by reference to net income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest and other financing costs, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Covenant EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA to exclude certainunusual items as permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the credit facilities. Covenant EBITDA is further adjusted to add net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest of certain non wholly owned subsidiaries and exclude other miscellaneous adjustments that are used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Covenant EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate our ability to comply with our financing covenants. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Covenant EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Our assets include cash equivalents as well as both fixed and floating rate interest-bearing securities. These investments arise primarily from settlement funds held by us pending settlement.
Our interest rate-sensitive liabilities are our debt instruments. Our senior secured term loan facility isfacilities are subject to variable interest rates. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, $5 billion of our variable to fixed interest rate swaps matured and we entered into newWe have variable to fixed interest rate collar swapscontracts on $3$4.3 billion of our variable rate debt.debt, of which $1.5 billion expires in September 2017, $1.5 billion expires in September 2018, and the remaining $1.3 billion expires in January 2019. The interest rate collar swapscontracts mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations, but are subject to contractual ceilings and floors. The interest rate collar swapscontracts provide for interest rate protection if one month LIBOR rises above 150 basis points. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we have $8.5$9.5 billion in variable rate debt, $3which includes $228 million on our accounts receivable securitization facility. $4.3 billion of whichour variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate collar swaps.contracts.
Based on the September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 balances, a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates on an annualized basis compared to the interest rates as of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, which for the one month LIBOR was 0.5311%0.9828%, and a corresponding and parallel shift in the remainder of the yield curve, would result in a decrease to pretax income of approximately $70$62 million. The $70$62 million decrease to pretax income (due to a 100 basis point increase in variable rates as of September 30, 2016)March 31, 2017) is due to an $85$75 million increase in interest expense related to our balance of variable interest rate debt, net of interest rate collars. The interest rate collars provide a hedge on $3 billion of notional variable rate debt if one month LIBOR rises above 150 basis points. Thecollar contracts.The increase in interest expense would be partially offset by a $15$13 million increase in interest income.income primarily on settlement assets. A decrease in interest rates would result in an increase to pretax income. Actual interest rates could change significantly more than 100 basis points. There are inherent limitations in the sensitivity analysis presented, primarily due to the assumption that interest rate movements are linear and instantaneous. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect income.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to changes in currency rates as a result of our investments in foreign operations, revenues and expenses generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and foreign currency-denominated loans. Revenue and profit generated by international operations will increase or decrease compared to prior periods as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Refer to note 810 "Derivative Financial Instruments" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
A hypothetical uniform 10% weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all the currencies in which our revenues and profits are denominated would result in an increase to pretax income of approximately $22$20 million. This increase results from a $21$20 million increase related to foreign exchange on foreign currency earnings, assuming consistent operating results as the twelvethree months preceding DecemberMarch 31, 2015,2017, and a $5$2 million increase related to foreign exchange on intercompany loans. The increase is partially offset by $4$3 million related to the effect of interest expense on euro-denominated term loans held by us. There is inherent limitation in the sensitivity analysis presented, primarily due to the assumption that foreign exchange movements are linear and instantaneous. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect income.
Regulatory
Through our merchant alliances, we hold an ownership interest in several competing merchant acquiring businesses while serving as the electronic processor for those businesses. In order to satisfy state and federal antitrust requirements, we actively maintain an antitrust compliance program.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. This is done in order to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During 2015,the first quarter of 2017, we commenced the migration of certain activities in connection with our strategic expense management initiative. This migration continues to presentpresents transitional risks to maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. To mitigate this risk, management continues to strengthen its entity level controls via enhanced financial reporting analytical reviews. Other than with respect to this migration, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the above evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
