Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, all references to "FIS," "we," "our," "us," the "Company" or the "registrant" are to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and its subsidiaries.

(1)       Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the related rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The inputs into management's critical and significant accounting estimates consider the economic impact of inflation and economic growth rates. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Future actual results could differ materially from these estimates. To the extent that there are differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual results, our consolidated financial statements will be affected.

On July 5, 2023, FIS signed a definitive agreement to sell a 55% equity interest in its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to private equity funds managed by GTCR, LLC ("GTCR"). FIS will retain a non-controlling 45% ownership interest in a new standalone joint venture. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Following the closing of this transaction, FIS' ownership interest in Worldpay Merchant Solutions business is expected to be reported as equity method investment earnings.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, the Company analyzed quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the Worldpay Merchant Solutions disposal group and determined that the accounting criteria to be classified as held for sale were met during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 when the definitive agreement was signed. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the disposal group are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. In addition, the planned disposition represents a strategic shift that will have a major impact on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the operating results of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented and as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results. The Company's cash flows are presented inclusive of discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods presented. Total cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for discontinued operations are presented in Note 2.

The Worldpay Merchant Solutions business includes the former Merchant Solutions segment in addition to an insignificant non-strategic business previously included in the Corporate and Other segment, which have been recast as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company no longer reports the Merchant Solutions Segment; it now reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions and Corporate and Other. The Company regularly assesses its portfolio of assets and reclassified certain businesses from Capital Market Solutions to Banking Solutions and to the Corporate and Other segment in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and recast all prior-period segment information presented. See Note 11 for more information regarding our segments and the related reclassification.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2022 consolidated financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2023. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings, we reclassified the Change in fair value of net investment hedges from Foreign currency translation adjustments into its own classification. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, we reclassified Settlement of net investment hedges cross-currency interest rate swaps from Other investing activities to its own classification and Payments on tax receivable agreement from Other financing activities into its own classification.

Amounts in tables in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes may not sum or calculate due to rounding.

Held-for-sale Disposal Group Measurement 
 
In accordance with ASC 360, a held-for-sale disposal group is measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Measuring the disposal group is a two-step process requiring the carrying amount of the disposal group's assets outside the scope of ASC 360, such as goodwill, which is tested for impairment under ASC 350, to be first adjusted by applying other relevant guidance before adjusting the carrying value of the overall disposal group.

The Company evaluated the goodwill of the disposal group for impairment as of September 30, 2023, by performing a quantitative assessment that estimated the fair value of the disposal group using a market approach based on the price at which the Company agreed to sell a majority interest in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the disposal group approximated its carrying value, inclusive of related deferred tax liabilities assigned to the reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairment assessment in accordance with ASC 350 but not classified as liabilities held for sale in accordance with ASC 360 because these deferred tax liabilities will not be transferred in the transaction. Based on the assessment, no goodwill impairment was recorded.

The carrying value of the overall disposal group was then assessed by comparing its value, inclusive of cumulative translation adjustment losses and exclusive of deferred tax liabilities not classified as part of the disposal group's assets held for sale, to the estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell. Based on this assessment, the carrying value of the disposal group was reduced by $1.5 billion, primarily as a result of the exclusion of certain deferred tax liabilities that will not be transferred in the transaction. The reduction was recorded as a valuation allowance against the Company's assets held for sale, and the allowance will continue to be updated as the disposal group continues to be remeasured at each subsequent reporting date until the sale has closed.

Asset Impairments

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $6.8 billion goodwill impairment because the estimated fair value of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions reporting unit, now reported as assets held for sale, was less than its carrying value. To estimate the fair value of such reporting unit, we used a market approach based on the price, inclusive of estimated selling price adjustments and fair value of contingent consideration, at which the Company had subsequently agreed to sell a majority interest in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to GTCR, as discussed in Note 1.

Commitments and Contingencies of the Disposal Group

Chargeback Liability

Through services offered in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions disposal group, the Company is exposed to potential losses from merchant-related chargebacks. A chargeback occurs when a dispute between a cardholder and a merchant, including a claim for non-delivery of the product or service by the merchant, is not resolved in favor of the merchant and the transaction is charged back to the merchant resulting in a refund of the purchase price to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this chargeback amount from the merchant due to closure, bankruptcy or other reasons, the Company bears the loss for the

refund paid to the cardholder. The risk of chargebacks is typically greater for those merchants that promise future delivery of goods and services rather than delivering goods or rendering services at the time of payment.

(3)       Acquisitions

Virtus Acquisition

On January 2, 2020, FIS acquired a majority interest in Virtus Partners ("Virtus"), previously a privately held company that provides high-value managed services and technology to the credit and loan market. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. FIS acquired a 70% voting and financial interest in Virtus with 30% interest retained by the founders of Virtus ("Founders"). The agreement between FIS and the Founders provided FIS with a call option to purchase, and the Founders with a put option requiring FIS to purchase, all of the Founders' retained interest in Virtus at a redemption value determined pursuant to performance goals stated in the agreement, exercisable at any time after two years and three years, respectively, following the acquisition date. In January 2023, the Founders exercised their put option, and as a result, FIS paid the $173 million redemption value, recorded as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows, and now owns 100% of Virtus.

Contract Balances

The Company recognized revenue of $114 million and $119 million during the three months and $612 million and $611 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the periods.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2023, approximately $22.5 billion of revenue is estimated to be recognized in the future primarily from the Banking Solutions and Capital Market Solutions segments' remaining unfulfilled performance obligations, which are primarily comprised of recurring account- and volume-based processing services. This excludes the amount of anticipated recurring renewals not yet contractually obligated. The Company expects to recognize approximately 30% of the Banking Solutions and Capital Market Solutions segments' remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, approximately another 22% over the next 13 to 24 months, and the balance thereafter.

As of September 30, 2023, Intangible assets, net of amortization, includes $1,840 million of customer relationships and $107 million of trademarks and other intangible assets. Amortization expense with respect to Intangible assets was $170 million and $182 million for the three months and $512 million and $547 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Depreciation expense for property and equipment was $41 million and $41 million for the three months and $124 million and $142 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Amortization expense with respect to software was $148 million and $161 million for the three months and $452 million and $491 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded $5 million and $14 million, during the three months and $18 million and $66 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of incremental software amortization expense resulting from the Company's platform modernization. Platform modernization includes sunsetting certain technology platforms, which resulted in shortened estimated useful lives and accelerated amortization methods primarily impacting the associated assets over approximately three years, beginning in the third quarter of 2021.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, this item includes $7 million and $8 million, respectively, of impairment primarily related to the termination of certain internally developed software projects. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, this item includes $17 million of impairments related primarily to certain software rendered obsolete by the Company's Platform modernization initiatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also recorded impairments of $43 million related primarily to real estate-related assets as a result of office space reductions and $26 million primarily related to a non-strategic business.

Goodwill

Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, are summarized below (in millions). Prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new reportable segment presentation as discussed in Note 11.

We assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. We evaluated if events and circumstances as of September 30, 2023, indicated potential impairment of our reporting units.

For our Banking and Capital Markets reporting units, we performed a qualitative assessment by examining factors most likely to affect our reporting units' fair values, including the impact of recent U.S. bank failures. The factors examined involve use of management judgment and included, among others, (1) forecast revenue, growth rates, operating margins, and capital expenditures used to calculate estimated future cash flows, (2) future economic and market conditions and (3) FIS' market

capitalization. Based on our interim impairment assessment as of September 30, 2023, we concluded that it remained more likely than not that the fair value continues to exceed the carrying amount for each of these reporting units; therefore, goodwill was not impaired. Given the substantial excess of fair value over carrying amounts, we believe the likelihood of obtaining materially different results based on a change of assumptions to be low.

Equity Security Investments

The Company holds various equity securities without readily determinable fair values that primarily represent strategic investments made by the Company as well as investments obtained through acquisitions. Such investments totaled $228 million and $312 million at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included within Other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for these investments at cost, less impairment, and adjusts the carrying values for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These adjustments are generally considered Level 2-type fair value measurements. The Company records realized and unrealized gains and losses on these investments as well as impairment losses as Other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) and recorded net gains (losses) of $(10) million and $0 million for the three months and $(44) million and $47 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to these investments.

The Company is a party to interest rate swaps that, prior to de-designation as fair value hedges, converted a portion of its fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. These interest rate swaps were de-designated as fair value hedges of its fixed-rate debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The Company is also party to fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps under which it agrees to receive interest in foreign currency in exchange for paying interest in U.S. dollars. These are designated as fair value hedges.

The Company has also entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps under which it agrees to receive interest in U.S. dollars in exchange for paying interest in a foreign currency. These are designated as net investment hedges. Although these cross-currency interest rate swaps are entered into as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, and not for the purpose of hedging interest rates, the benefit or cost of such hedges is reflected in interest expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average interest rate of the Company's outstanding debt was 4.3%, including the impact of fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges but excluding the impact of cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as

Senior Notes

On May 21, 2023, FIS repaid an aggregate principal amount of €1.3 billion in Senior Euro Notes, on their due date, pursuant to the related indenture.

On March 1, 2023, FIS repaid an aggregate principal amount of $750 million in Senior USD Notes, on their due date, pursuant to the related indenture.

On December 3, 2022, FIS repaid an aggregate principal amount of €1.0 billion in Senior Euro Notes, on their due date, pursuant to the related indenture.

On July 13, 2022, FIS completed the issuance and sale of Senior USD Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 billion with interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 5.6% and maturities ranging from 2025 to 2052. The proceeds from the debt issuance were used for the repayment of debt under our commercial paper programs in the third quarter of 2022.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On February 28, 2023, FIS entered into an Incremental Revolving Credit Facility which provides credit commitments outstanding of $2.0 billion, with a scheduled maturity date of December 15, 2023. The proceeds of any borrowings under the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility will be used to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the repayment of certain existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries and to backstop the Company's commercial paper program. The Incremental Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness, certain restricted payments and use of proceeds as well as to maintain certain financial ratios. FIS intends to amend the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date until the earlier of (i) June 15, 2024, and (ii) ten business days after the consummation of the pending Worldpay transaction.

As of September 30, 2023, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and Incremental Revolving Credit Facility was $2,750 million (net of $4,595 million of capacity backstopping our commercial paper notes).

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $1,845 million and $1,873 million lower than the carrying value, excluding the fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps and unamortized discounts, as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(8)       Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hedges

The Company holds interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $1,854 million, £925 million and €500 million at each of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. These swaps were previously designated as fair value hedges for accounting purposes, converting the interest rate exposure on certain of the Company's Senior USD Notes, Senior GBP Notes and Senior Euro Notes, as applicable, from fixed to variable. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company de-designated these swaps as fair value hedges. As a result of the de-designations, the fair value basis adjustments recorded as a decrease of the long-term debt through the dates of de-designation are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining periods to maturity of the respective long-term debt. The fair value basis adjustments of the long-term debt totaled $635 million as of September 30, 2023, with $20 million amortized as Interest expense for the three months ending September 30, 2023 (see Note 7). At December 31, 2022, the fair value basis adjustments recorded as a decrease of the long-term debt totaled $578 million.

Concurrently with the de-designations described above, the Company entered into new offsetting variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $1,854 million, £925 million and €500 million. The terms of these new interest rate swaps were effectively matched against the terms of the existing fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps, which results in an offsetting impact of the go-forward changes in fair values of the new and existing interest rate swaps recorded as Other income (expense), net pursuant to accounting for economic hedges. The new and existing interest rate swap fair values totaled assets of $51 million and liabilities of $690 million at September 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of interest rate swaps totaled liabilities of $578 million.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into an aggregate notional amount of €3,375 million fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk associated with its Senior Euro Notes. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an aggregate notional amount of £925 million fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk associated with its Senior GBP Notes. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges for accounting purposes with a net liability fair value of $84 million at September 30, 2023. Changes in the swap fair values attributable to changes in spot foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in Other income (expense), net. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $(165) million and $(144) million, respectively, were recognized in Other income (expense), net offset by changes in spot foreign currency exchange rates on the Senior GBP Notes and Senior Euro Notes. Changes attributable to excluded components, such as changes in fair value due to forward foreign currency exchange rates and cross-currency basis spreads, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss). The Company records the impact of the excluded components in earnings through Interest expense using the amortization approach. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $11 million was recognized in Interest expense using the amortization approach.

Net Investment Hedges

The purpose of the Company's net investment hedges, as discussed below, is to reduce the volatility of FIS' net investment value in its Euro- and Pound Sterling-denominated operations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company recorded net investment hedge aggregate gain (loss) for the change in fair value and related income tax (expense) benefit within Other comprehensive earnings (loss), net of tax, on the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings (loss) for its designated net investment hedges as follows (in millions). No ineffectiveness has been recorded on the net investment hedges.

Foreign Currency-Denominated Debt Designations

The Company has designated certain foreign currency-denominated debt as net investment hedges of its investment in Euro- and Pound Sterling-denominated operations. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, an aggregate €1,894 million and €7,646 million, respectively, was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company's investment in Euro-denominated operations related to Senior Euro Notes with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2025 and ECP Notes. As of September 30, 2023, no GBP-denominated debt was designated as a net investment hedge. As of December 31, 2022, an aggregate £726 million was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company's Pound Sterling-denominated operations related to the Senior GBP Notes.

During the quarters ended September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, the Company de-designated certain Senior Euro Notes and Senior GBP Notes as net investment hedges due to the new fair value hedges noted above. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company also de-designated €1,500 million of ECP Notes as a net investment hedge and entered into foreign currency forward contracts with a corresponding €1,500 million aggregate notional amount to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk associated with ECP Notes that are expected to be paid off with U.S. dollar proceeds received from the sale of a 55% equity interest in its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business during the first quarter of 2024 (see Note 1). The change in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as Other income (expense), net pursuant to accounting for economic hedges and offsets the impact of the change in spot foreign currency exchange rates on the de-designated ECP Notes, which is also recorded as Other income (expense), net. The foreign currency forward contract fair values totaled a net liability of $22 million at September 30, 2023.

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap Designations

The Company holds cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as net investment hedges of its investment in Euro- and Pound Sterling-denominated operations.

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, aggregate notional amounts of €6,143 million and €6,343 million, respectively, were designated as net investment hedges of the Company's investment in Euro-denominated operations, and aggregate notional amounts of £2,380 million and £2,580 million, respectively, were designated as net investment hedges of the Company's Pound Sterling-denominated operations. The cross-currency interest rate swap fair values totaled assets of $240 million and $336 million and liabilities of $(56) million and $(72) million at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company (paid) received net proceeds of approximately $(20) million and $684 million, respectively, for the fair values of the cross-currency interest rate swaps as of the settlement dates. The proceeds were recorded within investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Following the settlement of the existing cross-currency interest rate swaps during 2022, the Company entered into new cross-currency interest rate swaps at current market terms with similar notional amounts and maturity dates as the settled cross-currency interest rate swaps (see Note 7).

Securities and Shareholder Matters

On March 6, 2023, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by a shareholder of the Company. The action was consolidated with another action and the consolidated case is now captioned In re Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. Securities Litigation. A lead plaintiff has been appointed, and a consolidated amended complaint was filed on August 2, 2023. The consolidated amended complaint names the Company and certain of its

current and former officers as defendants and seeks damages for alleged violations of federal securities laws in connection with our disclosures relating to our Merchant Solutions segment, including with respect to Worldpay's valuation, integration, and synergies. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint with prejudice on September 22, 2023. We intend to vigorously defend this case, but no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome.

On April 27, 2023, a shareholder derivative action captioned Portia McCollum, derivatively on behalf of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. v. Gary Norcross et al., was filed in the same court by a stockholder of the Company. Plaintiff dismissed the suit without prejudice and sent a demand pursuant to Georgia Code § 14-2-742. Another stockholder, City of Hialeah Employees' Retirement System, sent a similar demand. The demands claim that FIS officers and directors violated federal securities laws and breached fiduciary duties, including with respect to Worldpay's valuation, integration, and synergies, and they demand that the Board investigate and commence legal proceedings against officers and directors in connection with the purported wrongdoing. On August 25, 2023, the Board established a Demand Review Committee to consider the demands and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the demands, and the Demand Review Committee has hired independent counsel. The Board has made no final decision with respect to the demands and has not rejected the demands.

On October 18, 2023, a shareholder derivative action captioned City of Hialeah Employees' Retirement System v. Stephanie L. Ferris et al. was filed in the same court by one of the stockholders that previously had sent a demand. The complaint, which names certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors as defendants, seeks to assert claims on behalf of the Company for violations of federal securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution and indemnification, including with respect to Worldpay's valuation, integration, and synergies. The Board has instructed the Company to move to stay or dismiss the action without prejudice pending the completion of the Board's consideration of the demands.

Brazilian Tax Authorities Claims

In 2004, Proservvi Empreendimentos e Servicos, Ltda., the predecessor to Fidelity National Servicos de Tratamento de Documentos e Informatica Ltda. ("Servicos"), a subsidiary of Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda., our former item processing and remittance services operation in Brazil, acquired certain assets and employees and leased certain facilities from the Transpev Group ("Transpev") in Brazil. Transpev's remaining assets were later acquired by Prosegur, an unrelated third party. When Transpev discontinued its operations after the asset sale to Prosegur, it had unpaid federal taxes and social contributions owing to the Brazilian tax authorities. The Brazilian tax authorities brought a claim against Transpev and, beginning in 2012, brought claims against Prosegur and Servicos on the grounds that Prosegur and Servicos were successors in interest to Transpev. To date, the Brazilian tax authorities filed 18 claims against Servicos, of which 16 are still active, asserting potential tax liabilities of approximately $13 million. There are potentially 20 additional claims against Transpev/Prosegur for which Servicos is named as a co-defendant or may be named but for which Servicos has not yet been served. These additional claims amount to approximately $32 million, making the total potential exposure for all 36 claims approximately $45 million. We do not believe a liability for these 36 total claims is probable and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for any of these claims.

Indemnifications and Warranties

The Company generally indemnifies its clients, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated solely with its customers' use of the Company's software applications or services. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments under such indemnifications but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, in which case it would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications. Historically, no material costs have been incurred related to software warranties, and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

(10)     Net Earnings (Loss) per Share

The basic weighted average shares and common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were computed using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes net earnings and net earnings per share attributable to FIS common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions, except per share amounts):
 Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,

Net earnings (loss) per share-diluted attributable to FIS common stockholders$(0.76)$0.41 $(11.66)$1.06 

The diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, did not include the effect of common stock equivalent shares of 2 million and 2 million, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, options to purchase approximately 8 million shares of our common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, options to purchase approximately 5 million and 4 million shares, respectively, of our common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

In January 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100 million shares of our common stock at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The new repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended for periods, amended or discontinued at any time. Approximately 64 million shares remained available for repurchase as of September 30, 2023.

(11)     Segment Information

As described in Note 1, effective as of the third quarter of 2023, the Company no longer reports the Merchant Solutions segment; it now reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions and Corporate and Other. Below is a summary of each segment.

Banking Solutions ("Banking")

The Banking segment is focused on serving financial institutions of all sizes with core processing software, transaction processing software and complementary applications and services, many of which interact directly with core processing software. We sell these solutions on either a bundled or stand-alone basis. Clients in this segment include global financial institutions, U.S. regional and community banks, credit unions and commercial lenders, as well as government institutions and other commercial organizations. We provide our clients integrated solutions characterized by multi-year processing contracts that generate recurring revenue. The predictable nature of cash flows generated from the Banking segment provides

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

opportunities for further investments in innovation, integration, information and security, and compliance in a cost-effective manner.

Capital Market Solutions ("Capital Markets")

The Capital Markets segment is focused on serving global financial services clients with a broad array of buy- and sell-side solutions. Clients in this segment include asset managers, buy- and sell-side securities brokerage and trading firms, insurers, private equity firms, and other commercial organizations. Our buy- and sell-side solutions include a variety of mission-critical applications for recordkeeping, data and analytics, trading, financing and risk management. Capital Markets clients purchase our solutions in various ways including licensing and managing technology "in-house," using consulting and third-party service providers, as well as procuring fully outsourced end-to-end solutions. Our long-established relationships with many of these financial and commercial institutions generate significant recurring revenue. We have made, and continue to make, investments in modern platforms, advanced technologies, open APIs, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and regulatory technology to support our Capital Markets clients.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment consists of corporate overhead expense, certain leveraged functions and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments, as well as certain non-strategic businesses that we plan to wind down or sell. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to corporate marketing, corporate finance and accounting, human resources, legal, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs, such as acquisition, integration and transformation-related expenses, that are not considered when management evaluates revenue-generating segment performance.

In the Corporate and Other segment, the Company recorded acquisition, integration and other costs comprised of the following (in millions):

Amounts in table may not sum due to rounding.

Other costs in Corporate and Other also include incremental amortization expense associated with shortened estimated useful lives and accelerated amortization methods for certain software and deferred contract cost assets resulting from the Company's platform modernization, as described in Notes 5 and 6, impairment charges described in Note 5 and costs that were previously incurred in support of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business but are not directly attributable to it and thus were not recorded in discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss that is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Adjusted

Table of Contents
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, net other income (expense), income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain costs and other transactions that management deems non-operational in nature or that otherwise improve the comparability of operating results across reporting periods by their exclusion. The items affecting the segment profit measure generally include the purchase price amortization of acquired intangible assets as well as acquisition, integration and certain other costs and asset impairments. These costs and adjustments are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment for the periods discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA for the respective segments excludes the foregoing costs and adjustments.

Summarized financial information for the Company's segments is shown in the following tables. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data; therefore, such information is not presented.

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, all references to "FIS," "we," "our," "us," the "Company" or the "registrant" are to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and its subsidiaries.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about anticipated financial outcomes, including any earnings outlook or projections, projected revenue or expense synergies or dis-synergies, business and market conditions, outlook, foreign currency exchange rates, deleveraging plans, expected dividends and share repurchases of the Company, the Company's sales pipeline and anticipated profitability and growth, plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, strategic value creation, risk profile and investment strategies, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance and any statements with respect to the previously announced pending sale of a 55% equity stake in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business ("pending Worldpay transaction"), the expected financial and operational results of the Company, and expectations regarding the Company's business or organization after the pending Worldpay transaction, as well as other statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," "should," "could," "would," "project," "continue," "likely," and similar expressions, and include statements reflecting future results or outlook, statements of outlook and various accruals and estimates. These statements relate to future events and our future results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management.

Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties to which forward-looking statements are subject include the following, without limitation:

changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including those resulting from COVID-19 or other pandemics, a recession, intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, increased rates of inflation or interest, changes in either or both the United States and international lending, capital and financial markets or currency fluctuations;
the risk of losses in the event of defaults by merchants (or other parties) to which we extend credit in our card settlement operations or in respect of any chargeback liability, either of which could adversely impact liquidity and results of operations;
the risk that acquired businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the integration will be more costly or more time-consuming and complex than anticipated;
the risk that cost savings and synergies anticipated to be realized from acquisitions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
the risks of doing business internationally;
the effect of legislative initiatives or proposals, statutory changes, governmental or applicable regulations and/or changes in industry requirements, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations;
the risks of reduction in revenue from the elimination of existing and potential customers due to consolidation in, or new laws or regulations affecting, the banking, retail and financial services industries or due to financial failures or other setbacks suffered by firms in those industries;
changes in the growth rates of the markets for our solutions;
the amount, declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors, including legal and contractual restrictions;
the amount and timing of any future share repurchases is subject to, among other things, our share price, our other investment opportunities and cash requirements, our results of operations and financial condition, our future prospects and other factors that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors and management;
failures to adapt our solutions to changes in technology or in the marketplace;
internal or external security or privacy breaches of our systems, including those relating to unauthorized access, theft, corruption or loss of personal information and computer viruses and other malware affecting our software or platforms, and the reactions of customers, card associations, government regulators and others to any such events;
the risk that implementation of software, including software updates, for customers or at customer locations or employee error in monitoring our software and platforms may result in the corruption or loss of data or customer information, interruption of business operations, outages, exposure to liability claims or loss of customers;

the risk that policies and resulting actions of the current administration in the U.S. may result in additional regulations and executive orders, as well as additional regulatory and tax costs;
competitive pressures on pricing related to the decreasing number of community banks in the U.S., the development of new disruptive technologies competing with one or more of our solutions, increasing presence of international competitors in the U.S. market and the entry into the market by global banks and global companies with respect to certain competitive solutions, each of which may have the impact of unbundling individual solutions from a comprehensive suite of solutions we provide to many of our customers;
the failure to innovate in order to keep up with new emerging technologies, which could impact our solutions and our ability to attract new, or retain existing, customers;
an operational or natural disaster at one of our major operations centers;
failure to comply with applicable requirements of payment networks or changes in those requirements;
fraud by merchants or bad actors; and
other risks detailed elsewhere in the "Risk Factors" and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

On July 5, 2023, FIS signed a definitive agreement to sell a 55% equity interest in its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to private equity funds managed by GTCR. The assets and liabilities of the disposal group are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets, and the operating results have been reflected as discontinued operations, for all periods presented. As such, the related results have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results. Cash flows from operating and investing activities for discontinued operations are presented in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included herein. See Notes 1 and 2 for further information regarding the Worldpay Merchant Solutions disposal group and its discontinued operations.

The Worldpay Merchant Solutions business includes the former Merchant Solutions segment in addition to an insignificant non-strategic business previously included in the Corporate and Other segment, which have been recast as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company no longer reports the Merchant Solutions segment; it now reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Banking Solutions ("Banking"), Capital Market Solutions ("Capital Markets") and Corporate and Other. The Company regularly assesses its portfolio of assets and reclassified certain businesses from Capital Market Solutions to Banking Solutions and to the Corporate and Other Segment in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and recast all prior-period segment information presented. A description of our segments is included in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. Revenue by segment and the Adjusted EBITDA of our segments are discussed below in Segment Results of Operations.

Business Trends and Conditions

Our revenue is primarily derived from a combination of technology and processing solutions, transaction fees, professional services and software license fees. While we are a global company and do business around the world, the majority of our revenue is generated by clients in the U.S. The majority of our international revenue is generated by clients in the U.K., Germany, Canada, Brazil, Australia and Switzerland. In addition, the majority of our revenue has historically been recurring and has been provided under multi-year Banking and Capital Markets contracts that contribute relative stability to our revenue stream. These solutions, in general, are considered critical to our clients' operations. Professional services revenue is typically non-recurring, though recognition often occurs over time rather than at a point in time. Sales of software licenses are typically non-recurring with point-in-time recognition and are less predictable.

The U.S. and Europe, the two largest geographic areas for our businesses, are experiencing slower economic growth than in recent years. Lengthening sales cycles observed in 2022, particularly across large transactions with a total contract value in excess of $50 million, persisted during the first nine months of 2023, particularly in Banking. We also experienced, and continue to experience, higher rates of inflation in these markets, including increasing wage and benefits rates, which management believes is in part due to inflation and in part due to competitive job markets for the skilled employees who support our businesses, as well as increasing non-labor-related costs. Given the nature of our varied businesses, the magnitude of future effects of slower economic growth, including lengthy sales cycles and inflation, are difficult to predict, although they have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In 2022, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar had a negative impact on our revenue and earnings. During the first half of 2023, a weakening U.S. dollar generated a positive impact on our revenue and earnings. That trend reversed in the third quarter, as the British Pound and Euro in particular weakened against the U.S. dollar. Given the volatility of exchange rates and the mix of currencies involved in both revenues and expenses, the direction and magnitude of future effects of currency fluctuations are uncertain. Rising interest rates have had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our interest expense.

Slowing growth trends affecting our discontinued operations observed over the second half of 2022, reflecting both slower economic growth, particularly in the U.K., and competitive pressures, continued during the first nine months of 2023, and we anticipate them to continue in the short term. In 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $17.6 billion related to the held-for-sale reporting unit, reflecting our intermediate-term growth expectations. In the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an additional $6.8 billion goodwill impairment, reflective of the price at which we agreed to sell a majority interest in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business as discussed further below. See "Goodwill Impairment" in our Critical Accounting Policies and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023, for further details on the goodwill impairments. As discussed in Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no goodwill impairment recorded during the period ended September 30, 2023. Also as discussed in Note 2, the Company recorded a $1.5 billion valuation allowance against the assets held for sale in the disposal group, primarily as a result of the exclusion of certain deferred tax liabilities that will not be transferred to GTCR in the transaction. The valuation allowance will continue to be updated as the disposal group continues to be remeasured at each subsequent reporting date until the sale has closed, at which point the assets held for sale, net of the

valuation allowance, and the liabilities held for sale will be derecognized and any additional gain or loss on sale will be recorded.

As a result of the factors noted above, for the Company as a whole, we expect 2023 revenue growth will be slower than 2022 and that net earnings will decline. Over the longer term, we expect improvements in revenue growth and margins in response to improving economic conditions and planned management actions, including our Future Forward program discussed below.

The pending sale of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to private equity funds managed by GTCR valued the business at up to $18.5 billion, including potential consideration of $1.0 billion contingent on the returns realized by GTCR exceeding certain thresholds. We now estimate our net proceeds at closing from the sale to be approximately $12.0 billion, consisting of approximately (i) $8.7 billion of proceeds from a pre-closing distribution from the Worldpay business (funded by new debt) and (ii) $4.9 billion from the sale of 55% of our ownership interest, net of estimated selling price adjustments, debt restructuring fees, taxes and transaction costs, the amounts of which may change prior to closing. The net proceeds are subject to adjustments for closing levels of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business' debt, working capital relative to an agreed target and available cash for operations relative to an agreed minimum of not less than $1.5 billion. We will retain a non-controlling 45% ownership interest in a new standalone joint venture. We intend to use proceeds from the sale to pay down debt and return additional capital to shareholders through our existing share repurchase authorization, as well as for general corporate purposes, while maintaining an investment grade credit rating. In connection with the sale, FIS and Worldpay will enter into commercial agreements, preserving a key value proposition for clients of both businesses and minimizing potential dis-synergies. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Following the closing of this transaction, FIS' ownership interest in Worldpay will be reported as equity method investment income (loss).

In November 2022, we launched an enterprise-wide efficiency program, Future Forward, with a focus on streamlining operations, accelerating time to market of new solutions and improving profitability and cash flow. As of September 30, 2023, on a continuing operations basis, we achieved annualized run-rate Future Forward cash savings of over $220 million exiting the quarter, including over $150 million of operational expense savings and approximately $70 million of capital expense savings. We continue to expect post-separation cash savings exiting 2024 of $1.0 billion, of which over two-thirds represents annualized run-rate savings.

We continue to assist financial institutions in migrating to outsourced integrated technology solutions to improve their profitability and address increasing and ongoing regulatory requirements. As a provider of outsourced solutions, we benefit from multi-year recurring revenue streams, which help moderate the effects of broader year-to-year economic and market changes that otherwise might have a larger impact on our results of operations. We believe our integrated solutions and outsourced services are well-positioned to address this outsourcing trend across the markets we serve.

We continue to invest in modernization, innovation and integrated solutions to meet the demands of the markets we serve and compete with global banks, financial and other technology providers, and emerging technology innovators. We invest both organically and through investment opportunities in companies building complementary technologies in the financial services space. Our internal efforts in research and development activities have related primarily to the modernization of our proprietary core systems in each of our segments, design and development of next-generation digital and innovative solutions and development of processing systems and related software applications and risk management platforms. We expect to continue our practice of investing an appropriate level of resources to maintain, enhance and extend the functionality of our proprietary systems and existing software applications, to develop new and innovative software applications and systems to address emerging technology trends in response to the needs of our clients, and to enhance the capabilities of our outsourcing infrastructure.

Consumer preference continues to shift from traditional branch banking services to digital banking solutions, and our clients seek to provide a single integrated banking experience through their branch, mobile, internet and voice banking channels. We have been providing our large regional banking customers in the U.S. with Digital One, an integrated digital banking platform, and are now adding functionality and offering Digital One to our community bank clients to provide a consistent, omnichannel experience for consumers of banking services across self-service channels like mobile banking and online banking, as well as supporting channels for bank staff operating in bank branches and contact centers. The uniform customer experience extends to support a broad range of financial services including opening new accounts, servicing of existing accounts, money movement, and personal financial management, as well as other consumer, small business and commercial banking capabilities. Digital One is integrated into several of the core banking platforms offered by FIS and is also offered to customers of non-FIS core banking systems.

Consolidation within the banking industry has occurred and may continue, primarily in the form of merger and acquisition activity among financial institutions, which we believe would broadly be detrimental to the profitability of the financial technology industry. However, consolidation resulting from specific merger and acquisition transactions may be beneficial to our business. When consolidations of financial institutions occur, merger partners often operate systems obtained from competing service providers. The newly formed entity generally makes a determination to migrate its core and payments systems to a single platform. When a financial institution processing client is involved in a consolidation, we may benefit by their expanding the use of our solutions if such solutions are chosen to survive the consolidation and to support the newly combined entity. Conversely, we may lose revenue if we are providing solutions to both entities, or if a client of ours is involved in a consolidation and our solutions are not chosen to support the newly combined entity. It is also possible that larger financial institutions resulting from consolidation may have greater leverage in negotiating terms or could decide to perform in-house some or all of the solutions that we currently provide or could provide. We seek to mitigate the risks of consolidations by offering other competitive solutions to take advantage of specific opportunities at the surviving company.

Recent U.S. bank failures could negatively impact our results to the extent more of our customers become illiquid; however, our current exposure to recent failures is limited, and we may be a long-term beneficiary of the recent disruption. As a leading provider of financial technology services to the top 100 U.S. banks by asset size as well as other global financial institutions, FIS boasts a highly diversified customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than approximately 1% of 2022 total Company revenue. With respect to U.S. financial institution customers that closed during the first nine months of 2023, FIS continues to provide services for these banks and is paid during their transition, and our revenue exposure from potential contract terminations related to these banks is not material. Further, FIS' core banking customer contracts are generally structured with fees that increase based on the number of active accounts or transactions rather than the amount of deposits. Thus, to the extent account volume increases, we are positioned to benefit from this growth as a leading core banking services provider to large financial institutions.

We continue to see demand in the payments market for innovative solutions that will deliver faster, more convenient payment options in mobile channels, internet applications, in-store cards, and digital currencies. The payment processing industry is adopting new technologies, developing new solutions, evolving new business models, and being affected by new market entrants and by an evolving regulatory environment. As financial institutions respond to these changes by seeking solutions to help them enhance their own offerings to consumers, including the ability to accept card-not-present payments in eCommerce and mobile environments as well as contactless cards and mobile wallets at the point of sale, FIS believes that payment processors will seek to develop additional capabilities in order to serve clients' evolving needs. To facilitate this expansion, we believe that payment processors will need to enhance their technology platforms so they can deliver these capabilities and differentiate their offerings from other providers.

We believe that these market changes present both an opportunity and a risk for us, and we cannot predict which emerging technologies or solutions will be successful. However, FIS believes that payment processors, like FIS, that have scalable, integrated business models, provide solutions across the payment processing value chain and utilize broad distribution capabilities will be best-positioned to enable emerging alternative electronic payment technologies in the long term. Further, FIS believes that its depth of capabilities and breadth of distribution will enhance its position as emerging payment technologies are adopted by merchants and other businesses. FIS' ability to partner with non-financial institution enterprises, such as mobile payment providers and internet, retail and social media companies, continues to create attractive growth opportunities as these new entrants seek to become more active participants in the development of alternative electronic payment technologies and to facilitate the convergence of retail, online, mobile and social commerce applications.

Globally, attacks on information technology systems, such as those operated by FIS, continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication. This is a trend we expect to continue. These circumstances present both a threat and an opportunity for FIS. We maintain significant focus on and investment in information security that is designed to mitigate threats to our systems and solutions. Through the expertise we have gained with this ongoing focus and investment, we have developed and offer fraud, security, risk management and compliance solutions to target the growth opportunity in the financial services industry.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except with respect to our goodwill impairment assessment. As discussed in Note 2, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions reporting unit, now reported as assets held for sale, as of June 30, 2023, and as of September 30, 2023. To estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, we used a market approach based on the price at which the Company has agreed to sell a majority interest in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business. The estimated fair value included estimated selling price adjustments and fair value of contingent

consideration based on the terms and conditions of the definitive agreement related to the sale. A 10% increase or decrease in the estimated net purchase price adjustments and fair value of contingent consideration would not have a material impact to the impairment charge.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased primarily due to strong recurring revenue growth in the Banking and Capital Markets segments. The recurring revenue growth in the Banking segment was aided by revenue growth from servicing federally funded pandemic relief programs.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased primarily due to strong recurring revenue growth in the Banking and Capital Markets segments. The recurring revenue growth in the Banking segment was aided by revenue growth from servicing federally funded pandemic relief programs. See "Segment Results of Operations" below for more detailed explanation.

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased due to lower intangible asset amortization resulting primarily from using accelerated amortization methods which apply a declining rate over time, contributing to higher gross profit and gross profit margin.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were materially unchanged between the two periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased primarily due to lower acquisition, integration and other costs partially offset by inflation, which increased corporate expenses as compared to the prior year period.

Asset Impairments

The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, included impairments primarily related to the termination of certain internally developed software projects. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded impairments related primarily to certain software rendered obsolete by the Company's Platform modernization initiatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also recorded impairments related primarily to real estate-related assets as a result of office space reductions and to a non-strategic business.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

The change in operating income and operating margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulted from the revenue and cost variances noted above.

NM = Not meaningful

The increase in interest expense, net during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to higher interest rates on our debt throughout the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, offset in part by increased interest income.

Other income (expense), net also includes other income and expense items outside of the Company's operating activities, including fair value adjustments on certain non-operating assets and liabilities and foreign currency transaction remeasurement gains and losses. Other income (expense), net includes net gains (losses) on equity security investments without readily determinable fair values of $(10) million and $0 million for the three months and $(44) million and $47 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net gains (losses) on equity securities investments includes $32 million of impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, on an equity security investment which the Company agreed to sell for less than its carrying value. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was essentially unchanged from the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the earnings from discontinued operations related to major classes of pretax earning (loss) increased primarily as a result of stopping amortization of long-lived assets held for sale beginning on July 5, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased due to a $1.5 billion valuation allowance recorded to reduce the Worldpay Merchant Solutions disposal group's carrying value down to fair value less cost to sell, primarily as a result of the exclusion from the disposal group's carrying value of certain deferred tax liabilities that will continue to be held by FIS after the disposal, which caused the carrying value to exceed the estimated fair value of the disposal group.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased primarily due to the goodwill impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2023 and the valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2023, as discussed above.

Segment Results of Operations - Comparisons of three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

As of September 30, 2023, FIS reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions, and Corporate and Other.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, net other income (expense), income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain costs and other transactions that management deems non-operational in nature or that otherwise improve the comparability of operating results across reporting periods by their exclusion. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The items affecting the segment profit measure generally include purchase price amortization of acquired intangible assets as well as acquisition, integration and certain other costs and asset impairments. These costs and adjustments are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment for the periods discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA for the respective segments excludes the foregoing costs and adjustments. Financial information, including details of Adjusted EBITDA, for each of our segments is set forth in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

Our ongoing cash requirements include operating expenses, income taxes, tax receivable obligations, mandatory debt service payments, capital expenditures, share repurchases, stockholder dividends, regulatory requirements, working capital and timing differences in settlement-related assets and liabilities and may include discretionary debt repayments and business acquisitions. Our principal sources of funds are cash generated by operations and borrowings, including the capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, the U.S. commercial paper program and the Euro-commercial paper program discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $3,216 million of available liquidity, including $466 million of cash and cash equivalents, exclusive of discontinued operations, and $2,750 million of capacity available under its Revolving Credit Facility and Incremental Credit Facility. Approximately $54 million of cash and cash equivalents is held by our foreign entities, including amounts related to regulatory requirements. The majority of our domestic cash and cash equivalents relates to settlement payables and net deposits-in-transit, which are typically settled within a few business days. Debt outstanding totaled $18.7 billion, with an effective weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. As of September 30, 2023, our assets held for sale included $1,356 million of cash and cash equivalents which the Company will not be able to freely access following the separation of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business. Such amount of Cash and cash equivalents in assets held for sale is inclusive of $1,041 million in cash and cash equivalents held by foreign entities, including amounts related to regulatory requirements.

Although we continue to evaluate the optimal capital structure for our business following the completion of the pending sale of a majority interest in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business, we intend to maintain investment grade debt ratings for FIS. The pending Worldpay transaction will also result in significant one-time costs, a portion of which we will be required to fund.

We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents plus cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating cash requirements, capital expenditures and mandatory debt service payments for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

A regular quarterly dividend of $0.52 per common share is payable on December 22, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 8, 2023. We currently expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends at a target payout ratio consistent with our capital allocation strategy (without regard to net earnings (loss) attributable to the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business non-controlling interest that will be retained post-separation). However, the amount, declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment opportunities (including potential mergers and acquisitions), results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors, including legal and contractual restrictions, that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors. Additionally, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by covenants in certain debt agreements.

In January 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100 million shares of our common stock at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended for periods, amended or discontinued at any time. Approximately 64 million shares remained available for repurchase as of September 30, 2023. We plan to continue to prioritize debt reduction and to resume repurchasing shares under the current share repurchase authorization beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023. We now intend to repurchase approximately $500 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2023 as part of a broader goal to repurchase at least $3.5 billion of our shares outstanding by year end 2024.

Cash Flows from Operations

Cash flows from operations, inclusive of discontinued operations, were $2,810 million and $2,798 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively (see Note 2 for cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations). Our net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net earnings, adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items. Cash flows from operations were unchanged in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in net earnings after adjusting to add back depreciation and other non-cash items and settlement timing, offset by working capital.

Capital Expenditures and Other Investing Activities

Our principal capital expenditures are for software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. Inclusive of discontinued operations, we invested approximately $844 million and $1,083 million in capital expenditures (excluding other financing obligations for certain hardware and software) during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively (see Note 2 for capital expenditures from discontinued operations). We expect to continue investing in property and equipment, purchased software and internally developed software to support our business.

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we (paid) received approximately $(20) million and $684 million of net cash reflected as investing activities due to the settlement of existing cross-currency interest rate swaps. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. In January 2023, the founders of Virtus exercised their put option, and as a result, FIS paid the $173 million redemption value, recorded as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations through the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in comparison to the table included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as disclosed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically use certain derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts, to manage interest rate and foreign currency risk. We do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity.

Interest Rate Risk

In addition to existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities, we use fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to finance our operations. We are exposed to interest rate risk on these debt obligations.

Our fixed rate senior notes (as included in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements) represent the majority of our fixed-rate long-term debt obligations as of September 30, 2023. The carrying value, excluding the fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps described below and unamortized discounts, of our senior notes was $14.5 billion as of September 30, 2023. The fair value of our senior notes was approximately $12.7 billion as of September 30, 2023. The potential reduction in fair value of the senior notes from a hypothetical 10 percent increase in market interest rates would not be material to the overall fair value of the debt.

Our variable-rate risk principally relates to borrowings under our U.S. commercial paper program, Euro-commercial paper program, Revolving Credit Facility and Incremental Revolving Credit Facility (as described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements) (collectively, "variable-rate debt"). As of September 30, 2023, the notional amounts of our fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps no longer contribute to variable-rate risk, as described further below. At September 30, 2023, our weighted-average cost of debt was 3.5% with a weighted-average maturity of 5.4 years; 78% of our debt was fixed rate, and the remaining 22% was variable-rate debt, inclusive of fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps. A 100 basis-point increase in the weighted-average interest rate on our variable-rate debt as of September 30, 2023, would have increased our annual interest expense by $48 million. We performed the foregoing sensitivity analysis based solely on the outstanding balance of our variable-rate debt as of September 30, 2023. This sensitivity analysis does not take into account any changes that occurred in the prior 12 months or that may take place in the next 12 months in the amount of our outstanding debt. Further, this sensitivity analysis assumes the change in interest rates is applicable for an entire year. For comparison purposes, based on the outstanding balance of our variable-rate debt as of September 30, 2022, and calculated in the same manner as set forth above, an increase of 100 basis points in the weighted-average interest rate would have increased our annual interest expense by approximately $60 million.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company de-designated its fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps as fair value hedges for accounting purposes and entered into offsetting variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. The Company accounts for the de-designated fixed-to-variable and offsetting variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps as economic hedges; as such, effective as of the de-designation dates, changes in interest rates associated with the variable leg of the interest rate swaps do not affect the interest expense that we recognize, eliminating our variable-rate risk on our fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps. The de-designation of the fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps resulted in a final fair value basis adjustment that is amortized into interest expense over the remaining periods to maturity of the respective debt as described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location's functional currency. We manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the use of foreign currency forward contracts and non-derivative and derivative investment hedges.

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our non-U.S. operations, to the extent they are conducted in local currency. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect translations of revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We generated approximately $304 million and $321 million during the three months and $908 million and $963 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The major currencies to which our revenue is exposed are the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Brazilian Real, Australian Dollar and Indian Rupee. A 10% movement in average exchange rates for these currencies (assuming a simultaneous and immediate 10% change in all of such rates for the relevant period) would have resulted in the following increase or decrease in our reported revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):

Total increase or decrease$22 $24 $68 $74 

While our results of operations have been impacted by the effects of currency fluctuations, our international operations' revenue and expenses are generally denominated in local currency, which reduces our economic exposure to foreign exchange risk in those jurisdictions.

Our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and options, to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We do not enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes or to engage in speculative activity. We do periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans and other balance sheet items. The Company also utilizes foreign currency-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as net investment hedges in order to reduce the volatility of the net investment value of certain of its Euro and Pound Sterling functional subsidiaries and utilizes cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges in order to mitigate the impact of foreign currency risk associated with our foreign currency-denominated debt (see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for a detailed discussion of risk factors affecting the Company. There have been no material changes in the risk factors described therein except for the addition of the risk factors included below.

Bank failures or sustained financial market disruptions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We regularly maintain domestic cash deposits in banks that are not subject to insurance protection against loss or exceed the deposit limits. We also maintain cash deposits in foreign banks where we operate, some of which are not insured or are only partially insured. The failure of a bank, or events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets impacting financial institutions at which we maintain balances, or concerns or rumors about such events, may lead to disruptions in access to our bank deposits or otherwise adversely impact our liquidity and financial performance. There can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of the insurance limits will be backstopped by the U.S. or applicable foreign government, or that any bank or financial institution with which we do business will be able to obtain needed liquidity from other banks, government institutions or otherwise in the event of a failure or liquidity crisis.

Our clients, including those of our clients that are banks, may be similarly adversely affected by any bank failure or other event affecting financial institutions. Any resulting adverse effects to our clients' liquidity or financial performance could reduce the demand for our services or affect our allowance for credit losses and collectability of trade receivables. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of our clients could cause unfavorable trends in receivable collections and cash flows and additional allowances for anticipated losses may be required. These additional allowances could materially adversely affect our future financial results.

In addition, instability, liquidity constraints or other distress in the financial markets, including the effects of bank failures, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in our current or any future credit facilities to honor their commitments. This could have an adverse effect on our business if we were not able to replace those commitments or to locate other sources of liquidity on acceptable terms.

The completion of the announced sale of a majority stake in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business, its separation into a new standalone joint venture and GTCR's investment therein are subject to various risks and uncertainties, may not be completed in accordance with announced plans, on the currently expected timeline, or at all, and the pending sale may be disruptive to our business operations and adversely affect our profitability.

The pending sale of a majority stake in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business is subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have expended and will continue to expend significant management time and resources and have incurred and will continue to incur significant expenses due to legal, advisory and financial services fees related to the sale. These expenses are payable by us regardless of whether the sale is consummated. Accordingly, if the pending sale of a majority stake in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business is delayed or is not completed on the terms set forth in the definitive purchase and sale agreement, or at all, our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or stock price could be adversely affected.

Additionally, the pendency and/or completion of the sale, including negotiating and finalizing the commercial agreements to be entered into between FIS and Worldpay that will govern the post-closing relationship between FIS and Worldpay, may impose challenges on our business, including business disruption; the diversion of management time on matters relating to the sale; impact on our resources, systems, procedures and controls; the incurrence of significant expenses associated with the pursuit of the sale; potential adverse impacts on our ability to attract, retain or motivate management personnel and talent; potential adverse impacts on our relationships with customers, governmental authorities, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties; and other unanticipated adverse impacts.

If the pending sale of a majority stake in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business is completed, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the sale, and the costs or dis-synergies of the sale may exceed the anticipated amounts. The completion of the sale may also expose us to new risks.

If the pending sale of a majority stake in the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business is completed, our operational and financial profile will change upon the separation of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business from our other remaining businesses. As a result, our diversification of revenue sources will diminish, and our results of operations, cash flows, working capital and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility and greater risk as a result of the concentration of our business on serving financial institutions. Moreover, the shares of our common stock will represent an investment in a smaller company than exists today, and our exposure to the risks inherent in our remaining businesses will increase.

Following the closing of the sale of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business, we plan to use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down debt and return additional capital to shareholders through our existing share repurchase authorization, as well as for general corporate purposes, while maintaining an investment grade credit rating. These uses of the net proceeds may not improve our results of operations or cash flows. Further, the anticipated benefits to us of the pending sale, including the retention of a 45% equity interest in the new standalone joint venture that will own the assets and liabilities of the Worldpay Merchant Solutions business, are based on a number of assumptions, some of which may prove incorrect. Any such incorrect assumptions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, we expect to have continuing operational and financial obligations to Worldpay pursuant to the commercial agreements and transition services agreements to be entered into between FIS and Worldpay at closing. These ongoing arrangements will require significant management and operational resources and may reduce our ability to fully realize cost savings and efficiency initiatives that we would otherwise be able to implement following the closing of the sale.

Item 5. Other Information
