PART I

Item 1. Business

Genpact is a global professional services firm that makes business transformation real. We drive digital-led innovation and run digitally-enabled intelligent operations for our clients, guided by our experience over time running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 companies. We have over 109,600 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 30 countries. Our 2021 total net revenues were $4.0 billion.

In 2021, we continued to strategically invest for long-term growth following a strategy focused on delivering differentiated, domain-led solutions in a focused set of geographies, industry verticals and service lines. During the year, we continued to invest in our newer service lines and our experience business as well as to enhance our data management capabilities and develop cloud-based analytics solutions. We also continued to invest in the learning and development of our employees to provide them with the critical skills needed for the future and to build their careers. Over the past several years, our services have evolved from focusing mainly on improving cost and efficiencies to driving meaningful business outcomes for our clients, including growth and better decision-making using our strategic insights.

Our approach

Many of our client solutions are embedded with our Digital Smart Enterprise ProcessesSM (Digital SEPs), a patented and highly granular approach to recognize the critical factors that dramatically improve business performance to help drive client outcomes. Our Digital SEPs combine Lean Six Sigma methodologies – which reduce inefficiency and improve process quality – with advanced domain-specific digital technologies, drawing on our industry acumen, our expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and experience-centric principles, and our deep understanding of how businesses run. Digital SEPs test the effectiveness of client processes using best-in-class benchmarks developed by mapping and analyzing millions of client transactions across thousands of end-to-end business processes. In this way, we identify opportunities for improving clients’ operations by applying our deep process knowledge and process-centric technologies to transform them.

Genpact Cora, our AI-based platform, integrates our proprietary automation, analytics and AI technologies with those of our strategic partners into a unified offering. It draws insights from our deep domain and operations expertise in our target industries and service lines to create analytics-based solutions that are focused on improving customer and user experience to accelerate clients’ digital transformations.

Domain-led digital transformation

Industry disruption is pervasive, driven by an explosion in digital technologies, increased use of data and analytics, new competitors, and shifting market dynamics. In this environment, companies need industry-tailored solutions to reimagine their business models end-to-end and adapt to rapid change.

These organizations seek partners that can improve productivity while creating competitive advantages and driving business outcomes, such as expanded market share, seamless customer experiences, increased revenue, working capital improvement, increased profitability, and minimized risk and loss. We believe our approach to business transformation, enabled through combining our deep industry and process expertise with our advanced skills in digital and analytics, differentiates us from our competitors.

We partner with clients to show them how new digital solutions can drive business outcomes. We apply user and customer experience principles to our domain expertise and innovative technology to create solutions designed to quickly and aptly meet client objectives. The results can include quick-turnaround proof of concept prototypes that clients can install and test in their own environments.

We enable domain-led digital transformation for our clients primarily in two ways: designing and running Intelligent OperationsSM and providing digital-led, standalone Transformation Services.

Intelligent Operations

Our Intelligent Operations embed digital, advanced analytics and cloud-based offerings into our business process outsourcing solutions to automate and transform our clients’ operations. This allows enterprises to be more flexible and helps them focus on high-value work to better compete in their industries. Our solutions also include our IT services, which include end-user computing support, infrastructure management (including cloud, service integration and management and cybersecurity), application production support and database management.

The ability to organize complex data sets and use analytics to derive actionable insights is increasingly critical to drive business outcomes for our clients. Our Enterprise360 intelligence platform enables our clients to harness the power of data and insights from our operations leveraging proprietary metrics and benchmarks from our Digital SEPs. This platform also uses AI for prescriptive actions to pinpoint transformation opportunities in an effort to unlock operational excellence and growth.

Transformation Services

Our transformation services include our digital solutions, consulting services, and analytics offerings. We are also building and driving solutions that involve experience-led transformation. Using human-centric design, we help clients build new products and services, create digital workspaces, and drive customer, client, employee and partner engagement.

• Train client teams to execute on our recommendations.

Analytics: We use data and advanced analytics to drive value for our clients by providing predictive insights that are actionable and can lead to improved business outcomes. We offer analytics services and solutions in areas where we have domain and functional expertise, both on a standalone basis and embedded in our other service offerings.

In addition to our professional services, such as CFO advisory, finance and accounting, and supply chain, sourcing and procurement, that are available to clients across our verticals, we offer core industry-specific services to clients in select verticals.

Our core operations services for these clients include application processing, collections and customer services, loan operations, customer onboarding, commercial loan servicing, equipment and auto loan servicing, mortgage origination and servicing, risk management and compliance services, reporting and monitoring services and wealth management operations support.

Our core operations solutions for these clients include industry-specific solutions for the IIoT, supply chain management, direct procurement, logistics services, aftermarket services support, industrial asset optimization and engineering services.

Our clients

We serve more than 700 clients across many industries and geographies. Our clients include some of the biggest brands in the world, many of which are leaders in their industries.

General Electric Company (GE) has been our largest client since our inception and accounted for $376.2 million, or 9%, of our total net revenues in 2021. We serve several of GE’s business units, including Aviation, Corporate, Healthcare, Industrial Finance, Power and Renewables. In November 2021, GE announced its intention to divide into three public companies by 2024. See "GE has historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenues and any material loss of business from, or our failure to maintain relationships with, GE and former GE businesses could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition" under Item 1A—"Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We provide broad services to GE across all of our service offerings. Commitments with respect to services we may perform for GE are set forth in statements of work (SOWs), purchase orders and business services agreements (BSAs), that we may enter into with individual GE business units from time to time. These SOWs, purchase orders and BSAs cover in more detail the type of work to be performed and the associated amounts to be billed. In general, each GE business unit decides whether to enter into a SOW, purchase order or BSA with us and on what terms it will do so. Therefore, although some decisions may be made centrally at GE, our revenues from GE come from many different businesses, each with its own leader who makes decisions about our services.

Global clients

We serve about one fifth of the Fortune Global 500. Our net revenues from our clients other than GE, which we refer to as our Global Clients, were $3.6 billion in 2021, or 91% of our 2021 total net revenues. See Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Net Revenues—Classification of certain net revenues.”

Our contracts with clients for Intelligent Operations services often take the form of a master services agreement (MSA), which is a framework agreement that we then supplement with SOWs. For transformation services, we typically enter into software-as-a-service and/or consulting agreements with our clients depending on the scope of the services to be performed. For more about our contracting frameworks, see Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Net Revenues.”

Our people

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 109,600 employees working in more than 30 countries. As a talent-led organization, our people are critical to the success of our business. We have created, and constantly reinforce, a culture that emphasizes collaboration, innovation, process improvement, and dedication to our clients. We seek to foster a culture that wins clients, develops leaders and attracts and retains talent who exhibit our core values – curiosity, incisiveness and courage – who embody and enable our purpose — the relentless pursuit of a world that works better for people — and who uphold our dedication to integrity consistent with our Code of Conduct, Integrity@Genpact.

Rewarding and recognizing our talent

We aim to create a work environment where every person is inspired to achieve, driven to perform and rewarded for their contributions. We strive to engage and competitively compensate our high-performing talent by providing performance-based promotions and merit-based compensation increases. In 2021, we promoted more than 19,000 of our employees and encouraged employee career growth through our Destination Growth program. We also regularly monitor employee retention levels and continue to enhance our pay-for-performance approach in an effort to retain our top talent.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

We believe that a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion is critical to our business. We believe in equal opportunity for each individual, irrespective of their gender, age, ethnicity, cultural background, race or sexual orientation. Understanding each other’s uniqueness, recognizing our differences, respecting varied opinions and accepting various points of view is at the heart of our organization’s culture. We promote these values by seeking to maintain inclusive hiring and management practices and ensure that opportunities are equally open to all.

We are committed to:

•Increasing diversity, including gender, racial and ethnic diversity, across all levels of the organization;

•Recruiting, retaining and advancing talent, including from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds; and

•Creating and fostering an inclusive culture where everybody, including our LGBTQ+ employees, feels safe and empowered.

Employee development and engagement

We are committed to the career development of our employees and making them future-ready, and we strive to engage them with challenging and rewarding career opportunities. Our performance management approach supports our career philosophy by encouraging employees to reflect on their performance, set challenging goals, receive feedback, identify their development needs and find relevant learning and training opportunities. We have also developed a number of leadership development and mentoring programs, including our Global Operations Leadership Development and our Leadership Direct programs for high potential talent and our programs designed to increase gender diversity in our leadership ranks, such as our Pay it Forward and Women’s Leadership initiatives.

We have also developed a learning framework called Genome that enables our employees to acquire new skills and evolve quickly as industries and technologies change, equipping them with skills that are relevant to their current roles and future aspirations. Genome was designed to shape an adaptive workforce, and its learning strategy was formulated to “reskill at scale” and be integrated throughout the enterprise.

TalentMatch is our talent transformation initiative to match the skills and job aspirations of our employees with existing and future job opportunities we have available. By enabling employees to prepare for their future career aspirations by upskilling and reskilling through Genome, TalentMatch has allowed us to identify talent available for redeployment from one part of our business to another as the needs of our clients change. It improves our employee utilization globally by providing the right talent at the right time for our client engagements. TalentMatch also gives our employees the opportunity to take their careers in their desired directions, thus increasing employee satisfaction, and bolstering our ability to scale the “work from anywhere” model.

Amber, our engagement AI chatbot and employee experience platform, enables transformation of our employee engagement strategy. Amber provides an outlet for unbiased and judgment free conversations for our employees and live predictive people analytics for business and HR leaders.

By digitizing how we engage with our employees through Amber, we have increased the scope and frequency of employee feedback and have gained the ability to assess employee engagement and identify trends in employee engagement and satisfaction across the company.

In 2021, we also invested in technologies and programs designed to create a better employee experience, with a particular focus on employee well being, and launched applications that promote individual wellness and enable socializing and collaboration between employees.

Corporate social responsibility

Genpact’s approach to corporate social responsibility focuses on four pillars:

•Education and employability;

•Women's empowerment;

•Sustainable social impact; and

•Environmental sustainability.

We foster a culture of giving and volunteering through several global platforms, projects, and social initiatives. More than 50,000 of our employees have volunteered their time to, among other things, help underprivileged children get better access to education, assist unemployed women in developing job skills, and work on projects to help improve infrastructure and education in the communities in which we work and live. For example, in 2021, in a continued effort to combat pandemic-induced hunger and following on the success of our Feed 20 Million initiative in 2020, we launched our Feed 30 Million initiative, setting a goal to serve 30 million meals in 2021 to people in need. Our volunteers enabled us to surpass this goal with more than 30 million meals served during the year.

Additionally, in 2021 more than 5,000 of our employees participated in our payroll-based charitable donation programs, and many of our employee volunteers participated in virtual volunteering initiatives such as composting, planting saplings, or eliminating single-use plastic. We are also passionate about working collectively to reduce our carbon footprint and have set targets to reduce our environmental impact at the regional and global levels.

Partnerships and alliances

We continue to invest in and expand our strategic alliances with companies whose services and solutions complement ours. Together, we work to enhance our existing solutions or create new offerings to meet market needs.

Our alliances generally fall into one of the following categories:

• Strategic, go-to-market partnerships

• Deal-specific relationships to jointly solve a specific issue for a client

• Reseller arrangements to provide third party partner software and cloud solutions

• Digital and other “white label” embedded technology-based relationships

We have three primary types of partners: consulting partners, digital partners, and solution partners. Our digital and solution partnerships aim to nurture relationships with established and emerging players. These potential partners specialize in leading-edge disruptive digital technologies and solutions that we can embed into our offerings or jointly bring to market.

Sales and marketing

We market our services to both existing and potential clients through our business development team and our lead client partners and global relationship managers. Members of this team are based around the globe, including in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Asia, and dedicate their time to expanding the services we provide to our existing clients as well as acquiring new clients.

We have designated lead client partners and global relationship managers for each of our strategic client relationships. The client partners and global relationship managers are supported by transformation partners, industry/product subject matter experts and teams from digital and analytics, process improvement, quality, transition, finance, human resources and information technology to ensure we can best understand and address the needs of our clients. We constantly monitor our client satisfaction levels to ensure that we maintain high service levels for each client, using measures such as the Net Promoter Score. Our sales force is primarily organized by industry vertical teams that are supported by vertical-specific and horizontal service offerings.

The length of our selling cycle varies depending on the type of engagement. The sales cycle for our advisory and project work is typically much shorter than the sales cycle for a large business process engagement. Our efforts may begin through an existing engagement with a client or in response to our lead generation program, a perceived opportunity, a reference by an existing client, a request for proposal or otherwise. Our teams seek to understand the needs and priorities of our clients as well as the business outcomes our clients desire, and we leverage our combination of digital and industry expertise to devise differentiated client solutions. We may expend substantial time and resources in engaging with prospective clients to secure new business. See Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Net Revenues.”

As our relationship with a client deepens, the time required to win an engagement for additional services often gradually declines. In addition, during an engagement as we better understand and experience a client’s business and processes, our ability to identify opportunities and deliver greater value for the client, including by leveraging Genpact Cora and our expanding portfolio of digital capabilities to transform our clients’ operations, typically increases.

We also strive to foster relationships between our senior leadership team and our clients’ senior management. These “C-level” relationships ensure that both parties are focused on establishing priorities, aligning objectives and driving client value from the top down. High-level executive relationships present significant opportunities to increase business from our existing clients. These relationships also provide a forum for addressing client concerns. Our governance methodology is designed to ensure that we are well connected at all levels of our clients’ organizations (executive, management, technology and operations).

Significant new business opportunities are reviewed by business leaders, lead client partners and global relationship managers from the applicable industry vertical along with operations personnel and members of our finance department. If they determine that the new business is aligned with our strategic objectives and a good use of our resources, then our business development team is authorized to pursue the opportunity.

Global delivery

We serve our clients using our global network of 82 delivery centers in 22 countries. We have delivery centers in Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica, Egypt, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. We also have many employees in these and additional countries, such as Canada, Ireland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain and Turkey, who work with our clients either onsite or virtually, which offers flexibility for both clients and employees.

With this global network, we are able to manage complex processes around the world. We use different locations for different types of services depending on client needs and the mix of skills and cost of employees at each location.

Our global delivery model gives us:

•multilingual capabilities;

•access to a larger talent pool;

•“near-shoring” as well as off-shoring capabilities to take advantage of time zones; and

•proximity to our clients through a significant onshore presence.

We also regularly look for new places to open delivery centers and offices, both in new countries or new cities in countries where we already have a presence. Before we choose a new location, we consider several factors, such as the talent pool, infrastructure, government support, operating costs, and client demand.

Service delivery model

We seek to be a seamless extension of our clients’ operations. To that end, we developed the Genpact Virtual CaptiveSM service delivery model, in which we create a virtual extension of our clients’ teams and environments. Our clients get dedicated employees and management, as well as dedicated infrastructure at our delivery centers. We also train our teams in our clients’ cultures, processes, and business environments.

Intellectual Property

The solutions we offer our clients often include a range of proprietary methodologies, software, and reusable knowledge capital. We also develop intellectual property in the course of our business and our agreements with our clients regulate the ownership of such intellectual property. We seek to protect our intellectual property and our brand through various means, including by agreement and applications for patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and domain names. Some of our intellectual property rights are trade secrets and relate to proprietary business process enhancements.

As of December 31, 2021, we had a portfolio of more than 50 patents and pending patent applications globally. Additionally, we have approximately 200 trademarks registered in various jurisdictions.

We often use third-party and client software platforms and systems to provide our services. Our agreements with our clients normally include a license to use the client’s proprietary systems to provide our services. Clients authorize us to access and use third party software licenses held by the client so that we may provide our services.

It is our practice to enter into agreements with our employees and independent contractors that:

•ensure that all new intellectual property developed by our employees or independent contractors in the course of their employment or engagement is assigned to us;

•provide for employees’ and independent contractors’ cooperation in intellectual property protection matters even if they no longer work for us; and

•include a confidentiality undertaking by our employees and independent contractors.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving global market. We have a number of competitors offering services that are the same as or similar to ours. Our competitors include:

•large multinational service providers, primarily accounting and consulting firms, that provide consulting and other professional services;

•companies that are primarily business process service providers operating from low-cost countries, most commonly India;

•companies that are primarily information technology service providers with some business process service capabilities; and

•smaller, niche service providers that provide services or products in a specific geographic market, industry or service area, including digital.

We may also face losses or potential losses of business when in-house departments of companies use their own resources rather than engage an outside firm for the types of services and solutions we provide.

Our revenues are derived primarily from Fortune Global 500 and Fortune 1000 companies. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry include:

• deep expertise in industry-specific domains and processes;

• ability to advise clients on how to transform their processes and deliver transformation that drives business value;

• ability to provide innovative services and products, including digital offerings;

• ability to consistently add value through digital transformation and continuous process improvement;

• reputation and client references;

• contractual terms, including competitive pricing and innovative commercial models;

• scope of services;

• quality of products, services and solutions;

• ability to sustain long-term client relationships; and

• global reach and scale.

Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive basis.

Regulation

We are subject to regulation in many jurisdictions around the world as a result of the complexity of our operations and services, particularly in the countries where we have operations and where we deliver services. We are also subject to regulation by regional bodies such as the European Union, or EU.

In addition, the terms of our service contracts typically require that we comply with applicable laws and regulations. In some of our service contracts, we are contractually required to comply even if such laws and regulations apply to our clients, but not to us, and sometimes our clients require us to take specific steps intended to make it easier for them to

comply with applicable requirements. In some of our service contracts, our clients undertake the responsibility to inform us about laws and regulations that may apply to us in jurisdictions in which they are located.

If we fail to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, we may face restrictions on our ability to provide services, and may also be the subject of civil or criminal actions involving penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our clients generally have the right to terminate our contracts for cause in the event of regulatory failures, subject in some cases to notice periods. See Item 1A—“Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business and Operations—Our global operations expose us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal and regulatory requirements, and violations of these laws and regulations could harm our business.” If we fail to comply with contractual commitments to facilitate our clients’ compliance, we may be liable for contractual damages, and clients in regulated industries may be less willing to use our services.

We are affected by laws and regulations in the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU and its member states, and other countries in which we do business that are intended to limit the impact of outsourcing on employees in those jurisdictions, and occasional changes to laws and regulations in such jurisdictions may impose changes that further restrict or discourage offshore outsourcing or otherwise harm our business. See Item 1A—“Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business and Operations—Future legislation or executive action in the United States and other jurisdictions could significantly affect the ability or willingness of our clients and prospective clients to utilize our services.”

Our collection, use, disclosure and retention of personal health-related and other information is subject to an array of privacy, data security, and data breach notification laws and regulations that change frequently, are inconsistent across the jurisdictions in which we do business, and impose significant compliance costs. In the United States, personal information is subject to numerous federal and state laws and regulations relating to privacy, data security, and breach notification, including, for example, the Financial Modernization Act (sometimes referred to as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Communications Act, Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act. All fifty U.S. states and the District of Columbia have implemented separate data security and breach notification laws with which we must comply; in addition, some states have strengthened their existing laws. Some courts have become more willing to allow individuals to pursue claims in data breach cases, indicating that it may become easier for consumers to sue companies for data breaches. Related laws and regulations govern our direct marketing activities and our use of personal information for direct marketing, including the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, Telemarketing Sales Rule, Telephone Consumer Protection Act and rules promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission, and CAN-SPAM Act. In 2018, the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act established new required processes and procedures for handling U.S. law enforcement requests for data that we may store outside of the U.S. In the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect in May 2018. The GDPR imposes privacy and data security compliance obligations and increased penalties for noncompliance. In particular, the GDPR has introduced numerous privacy-related changes for companies operating in the EU, including greater control for data subjects, increased data portability for EU consumers, data breach notification requirements and increased fines for violations. Additionally, foreign governments outside of the EU are also taking steps to fortify their data privacy laws and regulations. For example, India, as well as some countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, have either passed data privacy legislation or are considering data protection laws that affect or may affect us. Evolving laws and regulations in India protecting the use of personal information could also impact our engagements with clients, vendors and employees in India. As privacy laws and regulations around the world continue to evolve, these changes could adversely affect our business operations, websites and mobile applications that are accessed by residents in the applicable countries.

In the United States, we are either directly subject to, or contractually required to comply or facilitate our clients’ compliance with, laws and regulations arising out of our work for clients operating there, especially in the area of banking, financial services and insurance, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Service Company Act, the Home Owners Loan Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and regulation by U.S. agencies such as the SEC, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Because of our debt collections work in the United States, we are also regulated by laws such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and related regulations. We are currently licensed to engage in debt collection activities in all jurisdictions in the United States where licensing is required. U.S. banking and debt collection laws and their implementing regulations are occasionally amended, and these changes may impose new obligations on us or may change existing obligations.

Because of our insurance processing activities in the United States, we are currently licensed as a third-party administrator in 42 states and are regulated by the department of insurance in each such state. In two other states, we qualify for regulatory exemption from licensing based on the insurance processing activities we provide. We also hold entity adjuster licenses in 22 states that require licensing.

In the United States, we are subject to laws and regulations governing foreign trade, such as export control, customs and sanctions regulations maintained by government bodies such as the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the Homeland Security Department’s Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. Other jurisdictions, such as the EU, also maintain similar laws and regulations that apply to some of our operations.

Several of our service delivery centers, primarily located in China, India, Israel, Malaysia and the Philippines, benefit from tax incentives or concessional rates provided by local laws and regulations. The Indian Special Economic Zones Act of 2005 introduced a tax holiday in certain situations for operations established in designated “special economic zones” (SEZs). The SEZ tax benefits are available only for new business operations that are conducted at qualifying SEZ locations. The Indian government recently enacted a law that allows companies to elect to pay a reduced tax rate on all of their income provided they do not take advantage of any tax holidays or other exemptions. In response to this law, we have elected to cease taking advantage of the SEZ tax holidays and are subject to the reduced tax rate effective April 1, 2021. See Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Net Revenues—Income Taxes.” In addition to the tax holidays described above, certain benefits are also available to us as an information technology enabled service (ITES) company under certain Indian state and central laws. These benefits include rebates and waivers in relation to payments for the transfer or registration of property (including for the purchase or lease of premises), waivers of conversion fees for land, exemption from state pollution control requirements, entry tax exemptions, labor law exemptions, commercial usage of electricity and incentives related to the export of qualified services.

Our hedging activities and currency transfers are restricted by regulations in certain countries, including China, India, the Philippines and Romania.

Certain Bermuda Law Considerations

As a Bermuda company, we are also subject to regulation in Bermuda. Among other things, we must comply with the provisions of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, regulating the declaration and payment of dividends and the making of distributions from contributed surplus.

We are classified as a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Pursuant to our non-resident status, we may engage in transactions in currencies other than Bermuda dollars. There are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents that are holders of our common shares.

Under Bermuda law, “exempted” companies are companies formed for the purpose of conducting business outside Bermuda. As an exempted company, we may not, without a license granted by the Minister of Finance, participate in certain business transactions, including transactions involving Bermuda landholding rights and the carrying on of business of any kind, for which we are not licensed in Bermuda.

Bermuda has economic substance requirements pursuant to the Economic Substance Act 2018, as amended, and the regulations proffered thereunder, which require us to have adequate economic substance in Bermuda in relation to certain of our activities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to our Business and Operations

Wage increases in the countries where we operate may reduce our profit margin.

Salaries and related benefits of our employees are our most significant costs. Demand and competition for skilled employees, especially employees with the mix of skills and experience that we need to provide certain of our services, have increased significantly from historical levels over the past year. The increased level of demand and competition has resulted in a tight labor market and significant increases in compensation for certain employees, particularly in highly developed markets. As wage levels for skilled employees increase in most of the countries in which we operate because of, among other reasons, the tightening of the labor market and related competition for skilled employees in certain areas, faster economic growth, and increased demand for business process services, wage increases have begun to adversely affect our profitability and may continue to adversely affect our profitability in the future to the extent that we are not able to control or share wage increases with our clients. Sharing wage increases may cause our clients to be less willing to utilize our services. We will attempt to control such costs by seeking to add capacity in locations where we consider wage levels of skilled personnel to be satisfactory, but we may not be successful in doing so. We have recently had to increase our wage levels for certain roles significantly in a short period of time, and we may in the future need to increase our wage levels significantly and rapidly in order to attract the quantity and quality of employees that are necessary for us to remain competitive, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In recent years we have increased, and we expect to continue to increase, the number of employees we have in the United States from historical levels, and this increase in the relative share of our employees who are based in the United States could have a negative effect on our profitability. In addition, we engage independent contractors in various U.S. states in the ordinary course of business. A handful of U.S. states have enacted legislation that requires businesses to consider individuals to be employees who, under current law in most other U.S. states, would be considered independent contractors. The U.S. Congress may seek to pass similar legislation at a national level across all 50 U.S. states. If additional states or the U.S. federal government pass similar legislation, we may be required to modify our hiring plans and associated business model, which may increase our cost of doing business.

In addition, in early 2019, the Supreme Court of India clarified that certain allowances paid by an employer to an employee should be included for purposes of calculating provident fund contributions in addition to contributions based on basic wages alone. If this decision is implemented with retrospective application, the amount of the payments that we are required to make at that time to or for the benefit of our employees could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In 2022, the Government of India is expected to make effective new labor codes, which, among other things, change the definition of wages for purposes of determining employer contributions under the provident fund and other statutory benefit schemes, including the Indian gratuity plan. As a result of this new legislation, our compensation cost in India may increase, which could adversely affect our profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

We may fail to attract and retain enough qualified employees to support our operations.

Our industry relies on large numbers of skilled employees, and our success and profitability depend on our ability to attract, train and retain a sufficient number of employees with the right mix of skills and experience to perform services for our clients. Historically, high employee attrition has been common in our industry. In 2021, our attrition rate for all employees who were employed for a day or more was 30%, an increase from our normalized historical attrition rate in the range of 26% to 28% (excluding 2020, which was an outlier due to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labor market). We cannot assure you that we will be able to reduce our level of attrition in the future or even maintain our attrition rate at the 2021 level. If our attrition rate increases beyond the 2021 level, our operating efficiency and productivity may decrease.

Competition for qualified employees, particularly in India and the United States, remains high and we expect such competition to continue. We compete for employees not only with other companies in our industry but also with companies in other industries, such as software services, engineering services and financial services companies. In many locations in which we operate, there is a limited pool of employees who have the mix of skills and experience we need to perform services for our clients. We must hire or reskill, retain and motivate appropriate numbers of skilled employees with diverse experience in order to serve clients across the globe, respond quickly to rapid and ongoing changes in demand for our services and new technologies, and continuously innovate to grow our business. If we are unable to hire or retrain our employees to keep pace with the rapid and continuous changes in technology and the industries we serve, we may not be able to innovate quickly enough and fulfill client demand. If our business continues to grow, the number of people we will need to hire will increase. We will also need to increase our hiring if we are not able to maintain our attrition rate through innovative recruiting and retention policies.

In 2021, we faced increased competition for talent with scarce skills and capabilities in new technologies, and our competitors have directly targeted our employees with these highly sought-after skills and will likely continue to do so. As a result, we may be unable to cost-effectively hire and retain employees with these market-leading skills, which may cause us to incur increased costs or be unable to fulfill client demand for our services and solutions. Sustained competition for employees, or an increase in competition from the heightened levels seen in 2021, could have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business and service our clients, as well as cause us to incur greater personnel expenses and training costs.

Our profitability will suffer if we are not able to price appropriately, maintain employee and asset utilization levels and control our costs.

Our profitability is largely a function of the efficiency with which we utilize our assets, and in particular our people and delivery centers, and the pricing that we are able to obtain for our services. Our utilization rates are affected by a number of factors, including our ability to transition employees from completed projects to new assignments, hire and assimilate new employees, forecast demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriate headcount in each of our geographies and workforce and manage attrition, and our need to devote time and resources to training, professional development and other typically non-chargeable activities. The prices we are able to charge for our services are affected by a number of factors, including our clients’ perceptions of our ability to add value through our services, competition, introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors, our ability to accurately estimate, attain and sustain revenues from client engagements, margins and cash flows over increasingly longer contract periods and general economic and political conditions. Therefore, if we are unable to price appropriately or manage our asset utilization levels, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our profitability is also a function of our ability to control our costs and improve our efficiency. As we increase the number of our employees and grow our business, we may not be able to manage the significantly larger and more geographically diverse workforce that may result and our profitability may not improve. New taxes may also be imposed on our services such as sales taxes or service taxes which could affect our competitiveness as well as our profitability. Additionally, we may fail to appropriately estimate our costs in agreeing to provide new or novel services with unique pricing arrangements or service delivery requirements.

We enter into long-term contracts and fixed price contracts with our clients. Our failure to price these contracts correctly may negatively affect our profitability.

The pricing of our services is usually included in SOWs entered into with our clients, many of which are for terms of two to five years. In certain cases, we have committed to pricing over this period with only limited sharing of risk regarding inflation and currency exchange rates. In addition, we are obligated under some of our contracts to deliver productivity benefits to our clients. If we fail to estimate accurately future wage inflation rates, currency exchange rates or our costs, or if we fail to accurately estimate the productivity benefits we can achieve under a contract, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A portion of our SOWs are currently billed on a fixed price basis rather than on a time and materials basis. We may also increase the number of fixed price contracts we perform in the future. Any failure to accurately estimate the resources or time required to complete a fixed price engagement or to maintain the required quality levels or any unexpected increase in the cost to us of employees, office space or technology could expose us to risks associated with cost overruns and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

Our partnerships, alliances and relationships with third-party suppliers and contractors and other third parties with whom we do business expose us to a variety of risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our partnerships and alliances and our relationships with a variety of third parties, including suppliers, contractors and others, expose us to a variety of risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, and we may not be successful in mitigating such risks. Our operations depend on our ability to anticipate our and our clients' needs for products and services, as well as our suppliers’ ability to deliver sufficient quantities and quality of products and services at reasonable prices and in time for us to meet commitments for the delivery of our own services. In addition, we must adequately address quality issues associated with our services, including with respect to any third-party components to our services. Any performance failure on the part of our partners or the third parties with whom we do business, or the discontinuance by such third parties or partners of services that we have relied on them to perform for our clients, could delay our performance or require us to engage alternative third parties to perform the services at our cost or to perform them ourselves, any of which could deprive us of potential revenue or adversely impact our profitability. Additionally, our partners, third-party suppliers and contractors and other third parties with whom we do business may not be able to comply with current good business practices or applicable laws or regulatory requirements.Our failure, or the failure of such third parties, to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including

fines, injunctions, civil penalties and criminal prosecutions, any of which could significantly and adversely affect our business.

We may have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that our partners and third parties with whom we do business dedicate to their arrangements with us. Our ability to generate revenue from these arrangements will depend on our partners’ or other third parties’ desire and ability to successfully perform the functions assigned to them in these arrangements. Further, certain of our suppliers, partners and other contractors may decide to discontinue conducting business with us.

In addition, we are a party to a number of license agreements with third parties and expect to enter into additional licenses in the future. Our existing licenses impose, and we expect that future licenses will impose, various obligations and restrictions on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations and restrictions, the licensor may have the right to terminate the license, in which event we might not be able to market any product or service that is covered by these agreements, which could materially adversely affect our business. Termination of these license agreements or reduction or elimination of our licensed rights may result in our having to negotiate new or reinstated licenses with less favorable terms, or cause us to lose rights in important intellectual property or technology.

Any of the foregoing may prevent us from working with our partners or third parties with whom we do business and could subject us to losses, affect our ability to bring products and services to market, cause us to fail to satisfy our client obligations and harm our reputation.

We face legal, reputational and financial risks from any failure to protect client, Genpact or employee data from security incidents or cyberattacks.

In providing our services and solutions to clients, we often collect, process and store proprietary, personally identifying or other sensitive or confidential client data. In addition, we collect, process and store data regarding our employees and contractors. As a result, we are subject to numerous data protection and privacy laws and regulations designed to protect this information in the countries in which we operate as well as the countries of residence of the persons whose data we process. If any person, including any of our current or former employees or contractors, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our or our clients’ established controls with respect to client, third-party or Genpact data or if we do not adapt to changes in data protection legislation, we could be subject to significant litigation, monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines and/or criminal prosecution in one or more jurisdictions.

In addition, the products, services and software that we provide to our clients, or the third-party components we use to provide such products, services and software, may contain or introduce cybersecurity threats or vulnerabilities to our clients’ information technology networks, intentionally or unintentionally. Our clients may maintain their own proprietary, sensitive, or confidential information that could be compromised in a cybersecurity attack, or their systems may be disabled or disrupted as a result of such an attack. Our clients, regulators, or other third parties may attempt to hold us liable, through contractual indemnification clauses or directly, for any such losses or damages resulting from such an attack.

The threat of incursion into our information systems and technology infrastructure has increased and evolved in recent years with the increasing number and sophistication of third parties who have hacked, attacked, held for ransom or otherwise disrupted or invaded information systems of other companies and misappropriated or disclosed data. We could also be impacted by cyberattacks by nation states or other organizations arising out of geopolitical tensions or conflicts, including, for instance, by Russia or Russian-based actors in connection with the evolving Russia/Ukraine conflict. We may be unable to anticipate the techniques used by threat actors to invade our systems and may not detect when an incursion has occurred or implement adequate preventative and responsive measures. The steps we have taken to protect our information systems and data security may be inadequate. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, whether through breach of our computer systems, systems failure (including due to aged IT systems or infrastructure) or otherwise, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and our reputation could be harmed and we could lose existing or potential clients. Media or other reports of perceived breaches or weaknesses in our systems, products or networks, even if nothing has actually been attempted or occurred, could also adversely impact our brand and reputation and materially affect our business.

Our clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and other third parties with whom we do business, including in particular cloud service providers and software vendors, generally face similar cybersecurity threats, and we must rely on the safeguards adopted by these parties. If these third parties do not have adequate safeguards or their safeguards fail, it might result in breaches of our systems or applications and unauthorized access to or disclosure of our and our clients’ confidential data. In addition, we are regularly alerted to vulnerabilities in third-party technology components we use in our business that create vulnerabilities in our environments. We typically are not aware of such vulnerabilities until we receive notice from the third parties who have created the exposure, and our responses to such vulnerabilities may not be adequate or prompt enough to prevent their exploitation.

We may also be liable to our clients or others for damages caused by disclosure of confidential information or system failures. Many of our contracts do not limit our potential liability for breaches of confidentiality. We may also be subject to civil actions and criminal prosecution by governments or government agencies for breaches relating to such data. Our insurance coverage or indemnification protections for breaches or mismanagement of such data may not be adequate to cover all costs related to data loss, cybersecurity attacks, or disruptions resulting from such events, or they may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims against us and our insurers may disclaim coverage as to any future claims. The impact of these cybersecurity attacks, data losses, and other security breaches cannot be predicted, but any such attack, loss or breach could disrupt our operations, or the operations of our clients, suppliers, subcontractors, or other third parties. Incidents of this type could require significant management attention and resources, could result in the loss of business, regulatory enforcement and financial liability, and could harm our reputation among our clients and the public, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

While we have developed and implemented security measures and internal controls designed to prevent, detect and respond to cyber and other security threats and incidents, such measures cannot guarantee security and may not be successful in preventing security breaches or in their timely detection or effective response. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to regular incursion attempts from a variety of sources, and we have experienced data security incidents such as inadvertent or unauthorized disclosures of data, including as a result of phishing or malware, and other unauthorized access to or use of our systems or those of third parties. To date such incidents have not had a material impact on our operations or financial results; however, there is no assurance that such impacts will not be material in the future.

Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of our employees are now working from home in environments that are not subject to the same physical controls designed to prevent data breaches or losses as are present in our offices and delivery centers, which increases the risk of data breaches. Measures we have taken during the pandemic to implement suitable additional controls and educate our employees on the importance of cybersecurity, data loss prevention and related best practices may not prevent data breaches, the occurrence of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business and results of operations have been adversely impacted and may in the future be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a widespread and detrimental effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted our business and results of operations. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences remain uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, the ultimate impact of the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations is currently unknown.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely impact our business and results of operations will depend on future developments that are currently difficult to predict and outside of our control, including: future variants of the COVID-19 virus and the severity of such variants; the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots, and treatments for COVID-19 globally; the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic; actions taken by governments and other parties, such as our clients, in response to the pandemic, including any future actions to contain, treat or prevent the virus; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; the effect of the pandemic on our clients and client demand for our services and solutions; the ability of our clients to pay for our services and solutions on time or at all; our ability to sell and provide our services and solutions to clients and prospects; and the ability of our employees to continue to be productive and maintain morale while working remotely.

We have enabled most of our employees to work remotely during the pandemic. This effort has posed, and continues to pose, numerous operational risks and logistical challenges, and has created new costs, diverted management attention and corporate resources, and amplified certain risks to our business, including increased: (a) demand on our information technology resources and systems that were initially designed for use in our delivery centers only, (b) phishing, ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks, and (c) data privacy and security risks as our employees are working from environments that lack the physical security controls in place in our offices and delivery centers. Any failure to effectively manage these risks, including to timely identify and appropriately respond to any cyberattacks, may adversely affect our business.

In the first half of 2021, the Delta variant caused a devastating second wave of COVID-19 in India and other jurisdictions where we operate, and we experienced higher than normal levels of employee absenteeism due to illness or employees caring for family members who were sick. Although employee absenteeism related to COVID-19 has not yet had a material impact on our ability to deliver services to our clients, future variants could lead to a higher rate, or more extended periods, of employee absenteeism, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or share price. In addition, many of our employees have experienced new or additional financial, family and health burdens because of the prolonged nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and if these

burdens persist, our employees’ mental and physical health and engagement levels may be impacted. Our efforts to mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business may not be effective, and we may be required to take additional actions to protect the long-term health of our business. We may also be affected by a protracted economic downturn.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience negative impacts to our business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact. Further, as this pandemic is unprecedented and continuously evolving, it may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or in a manner that we currently do not consider will present significant risks to us or our operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to significant volatility in financial markets, and has at times impacted, and may again impact, our share price and trading in our common shares. The overall uncertainty regarding the future economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on our revenue growth could also impact our cash flows from operations and liquidity. Material changes to our cash flows, liquidity and the volatility of the stock market and our share price could impact our capital allocation strategy, including our quarterly dividend and our share repurchase program. Asset impairment charges, extreme currency exchange-rate fluctuations and an inability to recover costs or lost revenues or profits from insurance carriers could all adversely affect us, our financial condition and our results of operations. Additionally, future disruptions and volatility in global and domestic capital markets could increase the cost of capital and limit our ability to access capital.

Any of the foregoing could also amplify the other risks and uncertainties outlined in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or share price.

Our success largely depends on our ability to achieve our business strategies, and our results of operations and financial condition may suffer if we are unable to continually develop and successfully execute our strategies.

Our future growth, profitability and cash flows largely depend upon our ability to continually develop and successfully execute our business strategies. While we have confidence that our strategic plans reflect opportunities that are appropriate and achievable, the execution of our strategy may not result in long-term growth in revenue or profitability due to a number of factors, including incorrect assumptions, global or local economic conditions, competition, changes in the industries in which we operate, sub-optimal resource allocation or any of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. In pursuit of our growth strategy, we may also invest significant time and resources into new product or service offerings, and these offerings may fail to yield sufficient return to cover our investments in them. The failure to continually develop and execute optimally on our business strategies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.

We have employees in more than 30 countries and significant operations in 22 countries, and these global operations could be disrupted at any time by natural or other disasters, telecommunications failures, power or water shortages, extreme weather conditions (whether as a result of climate change or otherwise), medical epidemics or pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and other natural or manmade disasters or catastrophic events. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could result in significant losses, seriously harm our revenue, profitability and financial condition, adversely affect our competitive position, increase our costs and expenses, and require substantial expenditures and recovery time in order to fully resume operations. In addition, global climate change may result in certain natural disasters occurring more frequently or with greater intensity, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, drought, wildfires, sea-level rise, heavy rains and flooding, and any such disaster or series of disasters in areas where we have a concentration of employees, such as India, could significantly disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operations could also be disrupted as a result of technological failures, such as electricity or infrastructure breakdowns, including damage to telecommunications cables, computer glitches and electronic viruses, or human-caused events such as protests, riots, labor unrest and cyberattacks. Such events, or any natural or weather-related disaster, could lead to the disruption of information systems and telecommunication services for sustained periods. Damage or destruction that interrupts our provision of services could adversely affect our reputation, our relationships with our clients, our leadership team’s ability to administer and supervise our business or it may cause us to incur substantial additional expenditure to repair or replace damaged equipment or delivery centers. Our operations and those of our significant suppliers and distributors could be adversely affected if manufacturing, logistics or other operations in these locations are disrupted for any reason, such as those listed above. Even if our operations are unaffected or recover quickly from any such events, if our clients cannot timely resume their own operations due to a catastrophic event, they may

reduce or terminate our services, which may adversely affect our results of operations. We may also be liable to our clients for disruption in service resulting from such damage or destruction.

Our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not be effective at preventing or mitigating the effects of any of the foregoing business disruptions, particularly in the case of a catastrophic event. Prolonged disruption of our services would also entitle our clients to terminate their contracts with us. While we currently have commercial liability insurance, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient. Furthermore, we may be unable to secure such insurance coverage at premiums acceptable to us in the future or at all. Any of the above factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by economic and political conditions and the effects of these conditions on our and our clients’ businesses and levels of business activity.

Global macroeconomic conditions affect our clients’ businesses and the markets they serve. Volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions in our significant markets have in the past undermined and could in the future undermine business confidence in our significant markets or in other markets, which are increasingly interdependent, and cause our clients to reduce or defer their spending on new initiatives, or may result in clients reducing, delaying or eliminating spending under existing contracts with us, which would negatively affect our business. Growth in the markets we serve could be at a slow rate, or could stagnate or contract, in each case, for an extended period of time. Differing economic conditions and patterns of economic growth and contraction in the geographical regions in which we operate and the industries we serve have affected and may in the future affect demand for our services.

A material portion of our revenues and profitability is derived from our clients in North America and Europe. Weak demand in these markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, major political events, including the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, or Brexit, create uncertainty for businesses such as ours that operate in these markets. We continue to examine the various possible impacts Brexit may have on our business and operating model. Any of the impacts of Brexit, or the final terms of the trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union, could adversely affect global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, broader global geopolitical tensions and actions that governments take in response may adversely impact us. For instance, in response to the rapidly developing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries in which we operate have imposed and may further impose broad sanctions or other restrictive actions against governmental and other entities in Russia. We do not have employees or operations in Russia or Ukraine, but we have operations in surrounding countries, and we have clients that do business in Russia and Ukraine. Such clients may be adversely affected by the growing conflict and related sanctions and other governmental actions, which in turn could have an adverse impact on our revenues from such clients. Additionally, given the global nature of our operations, any protracted conflict or the broader macroeconomic impact of sanctions imposed on Russia could have an adverse impact on our business, profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Ongoing economic volatility and uncertainty and changing demand patterns, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, affect our business in a number of other ways, including making it more difficult to accurately forecast client demand and effectively build our revenue and resource plans. Economic volatility and uncertainty are particularly challenging because it may take some time for the effects and changes in demand patterns resulting from these and other factors to manifest themselves in our business and results of operations. Changing demand patterns from economic volatility and uncertainty could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations.

Additionally, increased operating costs resulting from recent inflationary pressures, including increases in compensation, wage pressure, and other expenses for our employees, have adversely affected our profitability and could continue to do so. Broad-based inflation will also continue to increase the costs of operating our delivery centers, including, in particular, due to rising energy prices, which have been and may continue to be amplified by the developing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. We have not been able to, and may in the future be unable to, fully offset these cost increases by raising prices for our services, particularly because our client agreements generally fix our pricing for periods of time. This has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in downward pressure on our gross margins and operating income. Further, our clients may choose to reduce their business with us or cancel, defer or delay projects if we increase our pricing. If we are unable to successfully adjust pricing, reduce costs or implement other countermeasures, our profitability could be materially adversely affected.

Our business depends on generating and maintaining ongoing, profitable client demand for our services and solutions, and a significant reduction in such demand or an inability to respond to the evolving technological environment could materially affect our results of operations.

Our revenue and profitability depend on the demand for our services and solutions with favorable margins, which could be negatively affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control and unrelated to our work product. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to develop and implement services and solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid and continuing changes in technology and offerings to serve the evolving needs of our clients. Examples of areas of significant change include digital- and cloud-related offerings, which are continually evolving as developments such as AI, automation, Internet of Things and as-a-service solutions are commercialized. Technological developments such as these may materially affect the cost and use of technology by our clients and, in the case of as-a-service solutions, could affect the nature of how we generate revenue. Some of these technologies, such as cloud-based services, AI and automation, and others that may emerge, have reduced and replaced some of our historical services and solutions and may continue to do so in the future. This has caused, and may in the future cause, clients to delay spending under existing contracts and engagements and to delay entering into new contracts while they evaluate new technologies. Such delays can negatively impact our results of operations if the pace and level of spending on new technologies is not sufficient to make up any shortfall.

Developments in the industries we serve, which may be rapid, also could shift demand to new services and solutions. If, as a result of new technologies or changes in the industries we serve, our clients demand new services and solutions, we may be less competitive in these new areas or need to make significant investment to meet that demand. Our growth strategy focuses on responding to these types of developments by driving innovation that will enable us to expand our business into new growth areas. If we do not sufficiently invest in new technology and adapt to industry developments, or evolve and expand our business at sufficient speed and scale, or if we do not make the right strategic investments to respond to these developments and successfully drive innovation, our services and solutions, our results of operations, and our ability to develop and maintain a competitive advantage and to execute on our growth strategy could be negatively affected.

Companies in the industries we serve sometimes seek to achieve economies of scale and other synergies by combining with or acquiring other companies. If one of our current clients merges or consolidates with a company that relies on another provider for the services and solutions we offer, we may lose work from that client or lose the opportunity to gain additional work if we are not successful in generating new opportunities from the merger or consolidation.

Tax matters may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions, notably in India where we have substantial operations. Our provision for income taxes, actual tax expense and tax liability could be adversely affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, lower income before taxes generated in countries with lower tax rates; higher income generated in countries with higher tax rates; changes in tax laws and regulations or interpretations thereof; changes in applicable income tax treaties; changes in accounting principles or interpretations thereof or in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities; the elimination or expiration of certain tax concessions, exemptions or holidays that had reduced our tax liability; and adverse outcomes of tax examinations or tax-related litigation, including a determination by any tax authority that our transfer prices are not appropriate. Additionally, changes in tax laws proposed by the Biden administration, if enacted, could negatively impact our effective tax rate. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.

We are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and tax authorities around the world, notably in India where we have substantial operations. Negative outcomes from those examinations or any appeals therefrom may adversely affect our provision for income taxes and tax liability, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition. For example, the Government of India has appealed a 2011 ruling by the Delhi High Court that Genpact India Private Limited (one of our subsidiaries) cannot be held to be a representative assessee of GE in connection with an assertion that GE has tax liability in India by reason of a 2004 transfer of shares of our predecessor company. We believe that, if the Government of India is successful in its appeal, GE would be obligated to indemnify us for any resulting tax, though there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter.

In addition, the Government of India issued assessment orders to us in 2014, 2016 and 2019 seeking to assess tax on certain transactions that occurred in 2009, 2013 and 2015. We have received demands for potential tax claims related to these orders in an aggregate amount of $147 million, including interest through the date of the orders. We do not believe that the transactions should be subject to tax in India under applicable law and have accordingly not provided a reserve for

such exposure and have filed the necessary appeals. We have received favorable orders from appellate authorities relating to demands of $133 million and refunds of amounts that we previously paid toward these demands, including refunds of interest paid toward such demands. The tax authorities may appeal these orders in a higher court. In the event we do not prevail in these matters, the total amounts owed in connection with these demands would be subject to additional interest accrued over the period since the demands were made, and the amount of this additional interest could be material. There is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters or similar transactions, and a final determination of tax in the amounts claimed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition. See Note 27—“Commitments and contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” for additional information relating to these matters.

Effective July 1, 2017, a Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) was introduced in India, replacing an existing service tax regime and multiple similar indirect taxes. The implementation of the GST continues to evolve, with the Government of India introducing regular amendments and issuing clarifications. In the second quarter of 2020, Indian tax authorities began challenging certain of our GST and service tax refunds in certain Indian states. We had requested these refunds pursuant to the tax exemption available for exports under service tax and GST regimes in respect of services performed by us in India for affiliates and clients outside of India. The Indian tax authorities have also initiated proceedings to examine the availability of the tax exemption claimed in respect of export of services under the service tax regime that preceded the current GST regime. In denying the refunds and initiating these proceedings, the taxing authorities have taken the position that the services we provided are local services, which interpretation, if correct, would make the service tax and GST exemptions we have claimed on exports unavailable to us in respect of such services. We believe that the denial of the service tax and GST exemptions is incorrect, and we are pursuing appeals before relevant appellate authorities. The Government of India has issued a clarification which supports our position and we believe that the appellate authorities will reverse the earlier orders. If it is finally determined that we do not qualify for the service tax and GST exemptions on the services we provide in India for clients located outside of India, we could be subject to additional tax on all of such services at a rate of 18%. The imposition of this additional tax on a significant percentage of the services we perform or have performed in India would likely have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flows and could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, there is growing pressure in many jurisdictions, including the United States, and from multinational organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or the OECD, and the EU to amend existing international tax rules in order to render them more responsive to current global business practices. For example, the OECD has published a package of measures for reform of the international tax rules as a product of its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, or the BEPS, initiative, which was endorsed by the G20 finance ministers. The new global tax framework is a two-pillar plan. The plan proposes the reallocation of global profits of large multinational companies to market jurisdictions, as well as the introduction of a global minimum tax. Many of the package’s proposed measures require amendments to the domestic tax legislation of various jurisdictions. Separately, the EU is asserting that a number of country-specific favorable tax regimes and rulings in certain member states may violate, or have violated, EU law, and may require rebates of some or all of the associated tax benefits to be paid by benefitted taxpayers in particular cases. The EU recently proposed and adopted Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives which require EU member states to implement measures to prohibit tax avoidance practices.

In addition, in December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) became law in the U.S., bringing about far-ranging changes to the existing corporate tax system. The Tax Act requires complex computations not previously required. As regulations and guidance evolve with respect to the Tax Act, our results may differ from previous estimates and our tax liabilities may materially increase. See “Future legislation or executive action in the United States and other jurisdictions could significantly affect the ability or willingness of our clients and prospective clients to utilize our services” below in this “Risk Factors” section.

The global tax environment is increasingly complex and uncertain. Although we monitor these developments, it is very difficult to assess to what extent changes and other proposals, if enacted, may be implemented in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we conduct our business or may impact the way in which we conduct our business or our effective tax rate due to their unpredictability and interdependency. As these and other tax laws and related regulations and practices change, those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.

We may be subject to claims and lawsuits for substantial damages, including by our clients arising out of disruptions to their businesses or our inadequate performance of services.

We depend in large part on our relationships with clients and our reputation for high-quality services to generate revenue and secure future engagements. Most of our service contracts with clients contain service level and performance requirements, including requirements relating to the quality of our services. Failure to consistently meet service requirements of a client, whether due to: (a) natural or other disasters, telecommunications failures, power or water shortages, extreme weather conditions (whether as a result of climate change or otherwise), medical epidemics, pandemics

or other contagious diseases (such as COVID-19) or other natural or manmade disasters or catastrophic events; (b) breach of or incursion into our computer systems (for example, through a ransomware attack); (c) other systems failure, including due to aged IT systems or infrastructure; or (d) errors made by our employees in the course of delivering services to our clients could disrupt the client’s business and result in a reduction in our revenues, clients terminating their business relationships with us and/or a claim for damages against us. Additionally, we could incur liability if a process we manage for a client were to result in internal control failures or impair our client’s ability to comply with its own internal control requirements.

We are also subject to actual and potential claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings outside of errors and omissions claims. For example, we engage in trust and safety services on behalf of clients, including content moderation, which could have a negative impact on our employees performing such services due to the nature of the materials they review. These types of services have been the subject of negative media coverage as well as litigation, and we may face adverse judgments or settlements or damage to our brand or reputation as a result of our provision of these services.

Under our MSAs with our clients, our liability for breach of our obligations is generally limited to actual damages suffered by the client and is typically capped at an agreed amount. These limitations and caps on liability may be unenforceable or otherwise may not protect us from liability for damages. In addition, certain liabilities, such as claims of third parties for which we may be required to indemnify our clients or liability for breaches of confidentiality, are generally not limited under those agreements. Our MSAs are governed by laws of multiple jurisdictions, therefore the interpretation of such provisions, and the availability of defenses to us, may vary, which may contribute to the uncertainty as to the scope of our potential liability. Although we have commercial general liability insurance coverage, the coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims and our insurers may disclaim coverage as to any future claims.

The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or changes in our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. It is also possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected by an unfavorable resolution of these matters. In addition, these matters divert management and personnel resources away from operating our business. Even if we do not experience significant monetary costs, there may be adverse publicity or social media attention associated with these matters that could result in reputational harm, either to us directly or to the industries or geographies we operate in, that may materially adversely affect our business, client or employee relationships. Further, defending against these claims can involve potentially significant costs, including legal defense costs.

Future legislation or executive action in the United States and other jurisdictions could significantly affect the ability or willingness of our clients and prospective clients to utilize our services.

In the United States, federal and state measures aimed at limiting or restricting, or requiring disclosure of offshore outsourcing have been occasionally proposed and enacted. In addition, public figures in the United States have from time to time suggested that U.S. businesses be subjected to tax or other adverse consequences for outsourcing, with incentives for returning outsourced operations to the United States, although it is not known what specific measures might be proposed or how they would be implemented and enforced, or whether emerging or enacted tax reform or other near-term Congressional action will affect companies’ outsourcing practices. There can be no assurance that pending or future legislation or executive action in the United States that would significantly adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition will not be enacted.

Legislation enacted in certain European jurisdictions and any future legislation in Europe, Japan or any other region or country in which we have clients restricting the performance of business process services from an offshore location or imposing burdens on companies that outsource data processing functions could also have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, there are unresolved questions about the legal mechanisms for transferring personal data from the EU to other countries. The Court of Justice of the European Union, or the CJEU, has invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework, one of the mechanisms that had been used to legitimize the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area, or EEA, to the United States, and has also generated doubt about the legal viability of the standard contractual clauses that have provided an alternative means for such data transfers from the EEA to the United States. These developments could lead to increased scrutiny on data transfers from the EU to the U.S. generally and could increase our data privacy compliance costs and our costs for implementing privacy and data security arrangements with our vendors and business partners.

With the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, or UK, from the EU, known as Brexit, the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 governs the processing of personal data in the UK and imposes obligations comparable to those imposed by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR. It remains unclear whether transfers of data from the EEA to the UK will remain lawful under GDPR.

Moreover, legislation enacted in the UK and by many EU countries provides that if a company outsources all or part of its business to a service provider or changes its current service provider, the affected employees of the company or of the previous service provider are entitled to become employees of the new service provider, generally on the same terms and conditions as their original employment. In addition, dismissals of employees who were employed by the company or the previous service provider immediately prior to that outsourcing, if the dismissals resulted solely or principally from the outsourcing, are automatically considered unfair dismissals that entitle such employees to compensation. As a result, to avoid unfair dismissal claims we may have to offer, and become liable for, voluntary redundancy payments to the employees of our clients in the UK and other EU countries who have adopted similar laws who transfer business to us. Additionally, the UK’s exit from the EU and the associated changes in trade relations could result in increased costs, delays, and regulatory complexity in our business involving the UK.

Our global operations expose us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal and regulatory requirements, and violations of these laws and regulations could harm our business.

We are subject to, or subject to contractual requirements to comply with or facilitate our clients’ compliance with, numerous, and sometimes conflicting, legal regimes on matters such as anticorruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, taxation, immigration, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation, anti-competition, data privacy and protection, wage-and-hour standards, and employment and labor relations. Our clients’ business operations are also subject to numerous regulations, and our clients may require that we perform our services in compliance with regulations applicable to them or in a manner that will enable them to comply with such regulations.

The global nature of our operations increases the difficulty of compliance. Compliance with diverse legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. Violations of one or more of these regulations in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines, criminal sanctions against us and/or our employees, prohibitions on doing business, breach of contract damages and harm to our reputation. Due to the varying degrees of development of the legal systems of the countries in which we operate, local laws may not be well developed or provide sufficiently clear guidance and may be insufficient to protect our rights.

In particular, our collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal health-related and other information is subject to an array of privacy, data security, and data breach notification laws and regulations that change frequently, are inconsistent across the jurisdictions in which we do business, and impose significant compliance costs. Changes in these laws and regulations and inconsistencies in the standards that apply to our business in different jurisdictions may impose significant compliance costs, reduce the efficiency of our operations, and expose us to enforcement risks.

In the United States, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring notice to individuals of security breaches of information involving personally identifiable information. In addition, several U.S. states have enacted data privacy laws that impose varying privacy and data security obligations on companies and grant individuals residing in those states certain rights as data subjects, and legislation has been proposed in several more states. In addition, some states have passed laws imposing increased data security and breach notification obligations on companies operating in the U.S. In the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes privacy and data security compliance obligations and significant penalties for noncompliance. The GDPR presents numerous privacy-related changes for companies operating in the EU, including rights guaranteed to data subjects, requirements for data portability for EU consumers, data breach notification requirements and significant fines for noncompliance. In GDPR enforcement matters, companies have faced fines for violations of certain provisions. Fines can reach as high as 4% of a company’s annual total revenue, potentially including the revenue of a company’s international affiliates. Additionally, foreign governments outside of the EU are also taking steps to fortify their data privacy laws and regulations. For example, some countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, including Brazil and Egypt, where we have operations, have implemented or are considering GDPR-like data protection laws. Evolving laws and regulations in India protecting the use of personal information could also impact our engagements with clients, vendors and employees in India. The legislation currently being considered in India relates to the regulation of cross-border transfers of sensitive personal information and has potentially broad-reaching implications in the backdrop of cloud computing. Given the size and scope of our operations in India, the costs of compliance with Indian data privacy laws, and any fines or penalties for breaches thereof, could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As privacy laws and regulations around the world continue to evolve, these changes and others could adversely affect our business operations, websites and mobile applications that are accessed by residents in the applicable countries.

In addition, in many parts of the world, including countries in which we operate and/or seek to expand, common practices in the local business community might not conform to international business standards and could violate anticorruption laws or regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010. Our employees, subcontractors, agents, joint venture partners, the companies we acquire and their employees, subcontractors and agents, and other third parties with which we associate, could take actions that violate policies or procedures designed to promote legal and regulatory compliance or applicable anticorruption laws or regulations. Violations of these laws or regulations by us, our employees or any of these third parties could subject us to criminal or civil enforcement actions (whether or not we participated or knew about the actions leading to the violations), including fines or penalties, disgorgement of profits and suspension or disqualification from work, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, including our results of operations and our reputation.

GE has historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenues and any material loss of business from, or our failure to maintain relationships with, GE and former GE businesses could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from GE. In 2019, 2020 and 2021, GE accounted for 14%, 12% and 9% of our revenues, respectively. In November 2021, GE announced its intention to divide into three independent public companies. This restructuring is expected to be achieved through a series of transactions that include GE spinning off its GE Healthcare business in 2023, combining its GE Renewable Energy, GE Power and GE Digital businesses into a single business and then spinning off that business in 2024, and GE continuing as an aviation-focused company following the completion of the spin-offs. In the past, GE has divested businesses we served, including a significant portion of its GE Capital business, and we have entered into contracts with several divested GE businesses. We intend to continue to make efforts to procure contracts with GE and the former GE businesses; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to procure any such contracts following GE’s completion of its restructuring or that such contracts would be on favorable terms. GE is not obligated to provide us with any exclusivity or opportunity to work on GE projects and GE is not required to purchase a minimum amount of services from us. In addition, GE has the right to terminate our services in whole or in part for any reason by providing us with a short period of advance notice. Any material loss of business from, or failure to maintain relationships with, GE or any former GE business following completion of the GE restructuring could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Net Revenues” for further information regarding our relationship with GE.

Our revenues are highly dependent on clients located in the United States and Europe, as well as on clients that operate in certain industries.

In 2021, more than 70% of our revenues were derived from clients based in North America and more than 15% of our revenues were derived from clients based in Europe. Additionally, in 2021, more than 25% of our revenues were derived from clients in the financial services and insurance industries.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected economic activity in the United States and Europe and activity in certain industries in which our clients operate. In addition, a number of other factors could adversely affect our ability to do business in the United States or Europe, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, Brexit has created, and continues to create, political and economic uncertainty about the future relationship between the UK and the EU and as to whether any other European countries may similarly seek to exit the EU. We have operations in the UK and a number of countries in the EU and our global operations serve clients with operations in these regions, and as a result our business, financial condition and results of operations may be impacted by such uncertainty and by the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.

Any further deterioration in economic activity in the United States or Europe, or in industries in which our clients operate, could adversely affect demand for our services, thus reducing our revenue. Increased regulation, changes in existing regulation or increased government intervention in the industries in which our clients operate may adversely affect growth in such industries and therefore have an adverse impact on our revenues. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may face difficulties in providing end-to-end business solutions or delivering complex, large or unique projects for our clients that could cause clients to discontinue their work with us, which in turn could harm our business and our reputation.

We continue to expand the nature and scope of our engagements, including by incorporating digital solutions that use social, mobility, big data and cloud-based technologies. Our ability to effectively offer a wide range of business solutions depends on our ability to attract existing or new clients to new service offerings, and the market for our solutions is highly competitive. We cannot be certain that our new service offerings will effectively meet client needs or that we will be able to attract clients to these service offerings. The complexity of our new service offerings, our inexperience in developing or implementing them, and significant competition in the markets for these services may affect our ability to market these services successfully.

In addition, the breadth of our existing service offerings continues to result in larger and more complex projects with our clients, which have risks associated with their scope and complexities, including our reliance on alliance partners and other third-party service providers in implementing and delivering these projects. Our failure to deliver services that meet the requirements specified by our clients could result in termination of client contracts, and we could be liable to our clients for significant penalties or damages or suffer reputational harm. Larger projects may involve multiple engagements or stages, and there is a risk that a client may choose not to retain us for additional stages or may cancel or delay additional planned engagements. These terminations, cancellations or delays may result from factors that have little or nothing to do with the quality of our services, such as the business or financial condition of our clients or the economy generally. Such cancellations or delays make it difficult to plan for project resource requirements and inaccuracies in such resource planning and allocation may have a negative impact on our profitability.

From time to time we also enter into agreements that include unique service level delivery requirements or novel pricing arrangements with which we have no experience and that may be unique in the industry. These projects can include performance targets that become more rigorous over the term of the contracts and service delivery components that are partially subjective by design, and we may be unable achieve such targets or to satisfy our clients’ expectations in delivering such services. Our failure to deliver such engagements to our clients’ expectations could result in termination of client contracts, and we could be liable to our clients for penalties or damages or suffer reputational harm. We may also discover that we have not priced such engagements appropriately, which could adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations in various currencies in which we do business, especially the Indian rupee, the euro and the U.S. dollar, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Most of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remaining amounts largely in euros, UK pounds sterling, the Australian dollar, the Japanese yen and the Indian rupee. Most of our expenses are incurred and paid in Indian rupees, with the remaining amounts largely in U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi, Romanian lei, euros, UK pounds sterling, Philippine pesos, Japanese yen, Polish zloty, Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzals, Hungarian forint, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As we expand our operations to new countries, we will incur expenses in other currencies. We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. The exchange rates between the Indian rupee, the euro and other currencies in which we incur costs or receive revenues, on the one hand, and the U.S. dollar, on the other hand, have changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. See Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Our results of operations could be adversely affected over time by certain movements in exchange rates, particularly if the Indian rupee or other currencies in which we incur expenses appreciate against the U.S. dollar or if the currencies in which we receive revenues, such as the euro, depreciate against the U.S. dollar. Although we take steps to hedge a substantial portion of our foreign currency exposures, there is no assurance that our hedging strategy will be successful or that the hedging markets will have sufficient liquidity or depth for us to implement our strategy in a cost-effective manner. In addition, in some countries, such as India, China, Romania and the Philippines, we are subject to legal restrictions on hedging activities, as well as convertibility of currencies, which could limit our ability to use cash generated in one country in another country and could limit our ability to hedge our exposures. Finally, our hedging policies only provide near term protection from exchange rate fluctuations. If the Indian rupee or other currencies in which we incur expenses appreciate against the U.S. dollar, we may have to consider additional means of maintaining profitability, including by increasing pricing, which may or may not be achievable. See also Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Net Revenues—Foreign exchange gains (losses), net.”

Restrictions on entry or work visas may affect our ability to compete for and provide services to clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

A portion of our business depends on the ability of our employees to obtain the necessary visas and work permits to provide services in the countries where our clients and, in some cases, our delivery centers, are located. In recent years, in

response to terrorist attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic and related border controls, global unrest and political rhetoric, immigration authorities generally, and those in the United States in particular, have increased the level of scrutiny in granting visas. If the COVID-19 pandemic persists for an extended period, further terrorist attacks occur, global unrest intensifies, or nationalistic political trends continue, then obtaining visas for our personnel may become even more difficult. For instance, some of our employees have faced extensive delays in obtaining work visas, or have been unable to obtain such visas, due to the suspension of regular visa services at U.S. consulates globally during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Local immigration laws may also require us to meet certain other legal requirements as a condition to obtaining or maintaining entry or work visas. Countries where our clients may be located, including the United States, may through legislation or regulation restrict the number of visas or entry permits available. In general, immigration laws are subject to legislative change and varying standards of application and enforcement due to political forces, economic conditions, terrorist attacks or other events. In addition, there is uncertainty with respect to immigration laws and standards in the United States as the administration of the current U.S. President has pursued legislation and policy changes to reform U.S. immigration laws and to reverse some immigration policies of the prior administration. In recent years, the United States has broadly prohibited immigrant visas of applicants from, or imposed travel bans on travelers from, several designated countries, and it is not currently known what, if any, visa or travel restrictions might be proposed in the future or how they would be implemented or enforced.

Our senior leadership team is critical to our continued success and the loss of such personnel could harm our business.

Our future success substantially depends on the continued service and performance of the members of our senior leadership team. These personnel possess business and technical capabilities that are difficult to replace. Our employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our executive management team do not obligate them to work for us for any specified period. In the past, members of our leadership team have left the Company to pursue other opportunities. If we lose key members of our senior leadership team, we may not be able to effectively manage our current operations or meet ongoing and future business challenges, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to service our debt or obtain additional financing on competitive terms.

On August 9, 2018, we entered into an amended and restated five-year credit agreement with certain financial institutions as lenders which replaced our prior credit facility. The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $680 million term credit facility and a $500 million revolving credit facility, each of which may be increased subject to certain conditions. The credit agreement obligations are unsecured, and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2021, the total amount due under the credit facility, including the amount utilized under the revolving facility, was $562 million. The credit agreement contains covenants that require maintenance of certain financial ratios, including consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and also, under certain conditions, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make certain investments, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, repurchase common shares, undertake certain liquidations, mergers, consolidations and acquisitions and dispose of certain assets or subsidiaries, among other things. If we breach any of these restrictions and do not obtain a waiver from the lenders, subject to applicable cure periods the outstanding indebtedness (and any other indebtedness with cross-default provisions) could be declared immediately due and payable, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.

On March 27, 2017, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% senior notes, or the 2022 notes, in a private offering. On July 24, 2018, an exchange offer was completed and all outstanding unregistered 2022 notes were exchanged for freely tradable 2022 notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the registered 2022 notes, net of debt expense of $0.1 million, was $349.9 million, which is payable on April 1, 2022 when the 2022 notes mature. We are required to pay interest on the 2022 notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, ending on the maturity date.

On November 18, 2019, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior notes, or the 2024 notes, in an underwritten public offering. As of December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2024 notes, net of debt amortization expense of $1.7 million, was $398.3 million, which is payable on December 1, 2024 when the notes mature. We are required to pay interest on the 2024 notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, ending on the maturity date.

On March 26, 2021, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% senior notes, or the 2026 notes, in an underwritten public offering. As of December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2026 notes, net of debt amortization expense of $2.6 million, was $347.4 million, which is payable on April 10, 2026 when the notes mature. We are required to pay interest on the 2026 notes semi-annually in arrears on April 10 and October 10 of each year, ending on the maturity date.

The 2022 notes and 2024 notes were issued by, and are senior unsecured indebtedness of, Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l., our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Genpact Limited and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Genpact USA, Inc. The 2026 notes were issued by, and are senior unsecured indebtedness of, Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. and Genpact USA, Inc., and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Genpact Limited. The 2022 notes, 2024 notes and 2026 notes are subject to certain customary covenants set forth in their respective governing indentures, including limitations on our ability to incur debt secured by liens, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge, convey or transfer our assets. Upon certain change of control transactions, we would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2022 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2026 notes, as applicable, at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The interest rates payable on the 2022 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2026 notes are subject to adjustment if the credit ratings of the 2022 notes, 2024 notes or 2026 notes, as applicable, are downgraded, up to a maximum increase of 2.0%. We may redeem the 2022 notes, 2024 notes and 2026 notes at any time in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest or, if redemption occurs prior to, in the case of the 2022 notes, March 1, 2022, in the case of the 2024 notes, November 1, 2024 and, in the case of the 2026 notes, March 10, 2026, a specified “make-whole” premium. The 2022 notes, 2024 notes and 2026 notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all our other senior unsecured indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

Our indebtedness and related debt service obligations can have negative consequences, requiring us to dedicate significant cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, which reduces the funds we have available for other purposes such as acquisitions and capital investment; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing and limiting our ability to undertake strategic acquisitions; increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, including by reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and market conditions; and exposing us to interest rate risk since a portion of our debt obligations are at variable rates. We manage only a portion of our interest rate risk related to floating rate indebtedness by entering into interest rate swaps. Accordingly, any adverse change in interest rates due to market conditions or otherwise could increase our cost of funding substantially.

A portion of our indebtedness, including borrowings under our credit facility, bears interest at variable interest rates primarily based on LIBOR. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced in July 2017 that it will no longer compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced that it will permanently cease publishing most LIBOR settings beginning on January 1, 2022 and will cease to publish the overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month U.S.-dollar LIBOR settings on July 1, 2023. Accordingly, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has stated that it does not intend to persuade or compel banks to submit to LIBOR after such dates. The full impact of such reforms and actions remains unclear, and the effects of the discontinuance of LIBOR as a reference rate cannot be entirely predicted but may include an increase in the cost of our borrowings, since we have LIBOR-based debt obligations, or exposure under our interest rate derivative transactions.

We often face a long selling cycle to secure a new contract as well as long implementation periods that require significant resource commitments, which result in a long lead time before we receive revenues from new relationships.

We often face a long selling cycle to secure a new contract. If we are successful in obtaining an engagement, that is generally followed by a long implementation period in which the services are planned in detail and we demonstrate to a client that we can successfully integrate our processes and resources with their operations. During this time a contract is also negotiated and agreed. There is then a long ramping up period in order to commence providing the services. We typically incur significant business development expenses during the selling cycle. We may not succeed in winning a new client’s business, in which case we receive no revenues and may receive no reimbursement for such expenses. Even if we succeed in developing a relationship with a potential new client and begin to plan the services in detail, a potential client may choose a competitor or decide to retain the work in-house prior to the time a final contract is signed. If we enter into a contract with a client, we will typically receive no revenues until implementation actually begins. Our clients may also experience delays in obtaining internal approvals or delays associated with technology or system implementations, thereby further lengthening the implementation cycle. We generally hire new employees to provide services to a new client once a contract is signed. We may face significant difficulties in hiring such employees and incur significant costs associated with these hires before we receive corresponding revenues. If we are not successful in obtaining contractual commitments after the selling cycle, in maintaining contractual commitments after the implementation cycle or in maintaining or reducing the duration of unprofitable initial periods in our contracts, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations and share price could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls.

The accuracy of our financial reporting is dependent on the effectiveness of our internal controls. We are required to provide a report from management to our shareholders on our internal control over financial reporting that includes an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls. Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including human error, sample-based testing, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud. Because of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting might not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud. If we cannot maintain and execute adequate internal control over financial reporting or implement required new or improved controls that provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external use, we could suffer harm to our reputation, fail to meet our public reporting requirements on a timely basis, be unable to properly report on our business and our results of operations, or be required to restate our financial statements, and our results of operations, the market price of our common shares and our ability to obtain new business could be materially adversely affected.

We make estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and any changes to those estimates and assumptions could adversely affect our financial results.

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The application of generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions about certain items and future events that affect our reported financial condition, and our accompanying disclosure with respect to, among other things, revenue recognition and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, contractual commitments and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. These estimates and assumptions involve the use of judgment and are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If our estimates, or the assumptions underlying such estimates, are not correct, actual results may differ materially from our estimates, and we may need to, among other things, adjust revenues or accrue additional charges that could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our operating results may experience significant fluctuations.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period. The long selling cycle for many of our services as well as the time required to complete the implementation phases of new contracts makes it difficult to accurately predict the timing of revenues from new clients or new SOWs as well as our costs. In addition, our future revenues, operating margins and profitability may fluctuate as a result of: lower demand for our services; lower win rates versus our competition; changes in pricing in response to client demands and competitive pressures; changes to the financial condition of our clients; employee wage levels and utilization rates; changes in foreign exchange rates, including the Indian rupee versus the U.S. dollar and the euro versus the U.S. dollar; the timing of collection of accounts receivable; enactment of new taxes; changes in domestic and international income tax rates and regulations; and changes to levels and types of share-based compensation awards and assumptions used to determine the fair value of such awards. As a result of these factors, it is possible that in some future periods, our revenues and operating results may be significantly below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such an event, the price of our common shares would likely be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to collect our receivables, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our clients of the amounts they owe us for work performed. We evaluate the financial condition of our clients and usually bill and collect on relatively short cycles. We have established allowances for losses of receivables and unbilled services. Actual losses on client balances could differ from those that we currently anticipate, and, as a result, we might need to adjust our allowances. We might not accurately assess the creditworthiness of our clients. Macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, could also result in financial difficulties for our clients, including bankruptcy and insolvency. Additionally, cyberattacks on any of our clients could disrupt their internal systems and capability to make payments. The occurrence of such events could cause clients to delay payments to us, request modifications to their payment arrangements that could increase our receivables balance, or default on their payment obligations to us. If we experience an increase in the time to bill and collect for our services, our cash flows could be adversely affected.

Some of our contracts contain provisions which, if triggered, could result in lower future revenues and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Some of our contracts allow a client, in certain limited circumstances, to request a benchmark study comparing our pricing and performance with that of an agreed list of other service providers for comparable services. Based on the results of the study and depending on the reasons for any unfavorable variance, we may be required to make improvements in the services we provide or to reduce the pricing for services on a prospective basis to be performed under the remaining term of the contract, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Some of our contracts contain provisions that would require us to pay penalties to our clients and/or provide our clients with the right to terminate the contract if we do not meet pre-agreed service level requirements. Failure to meet these requirements could result in the payment of significant penalties by us to our clients which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A few of our MSAs provide that during the term of the MSA and under specified circumstances, we may not provide similar services to the competitors of our client. Some of our contracts also provide that, during the term of the contract and for a certain period thereafter ranging from six to 12 months, we may not provide similar services to certain or any of our client’s competitors using the same personnel. These restrictions may hamper our ability to compete for and provide services to other clients in the same industry, which may inhibit growth and result in lower future revenues and profitability.

Some of our contracts with clients specify that if a change of control of our company occurs during the term of the contract, the client has the right to terminate the contract. These provisions may result in our contracts being terminated if there is such a change in control, resulting in a potential loss of revenues. In addition, these provisions may act as a deterrent to any attempt by a third party to acquire our company. Some of our contracts with clients require that we bear the cost of any sales or withholding taxes or unreimbursed value-added taxes imposed on payments made under those contracts. While the imposition of these taxes is generally minimized under our contracts, changes in law or the interpretation thereof and changes in our internal structure may result in the imposition of these taxes and a reduction in our net revenues.

Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

Our industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets are breadth and depth of process, technology and domain expertise, service quality, the ability to attract, train and retain qualified people, compliance rigor, global delivery capabilities, price and marketing and sales capabilities. We compete for business with a variety of companies, including large multinational firms that provide consulting, technology and/or business process services, off-shore business process service providers in low-cost locations like India, in-house captives of potential clients, software services companies that also provide business process services and accounting firms that also provide consulting or outsourcing services.

Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, technological or other resources and larger client bases than we do, and may expand their service offerings and compete more effectively for clients and employees than we do. Some of our competitors have more established reputations and client relationships in our markets than we do. In addition, some of our competitors who do not have global delivery capabilities may expand their delivery centers to the countries in which we are located which could result in increased competition for employees and could reduce our competitive advantage. There could also be new competitors that are more powerful as a result of strategic consolidation of smaller competitors or of companies that each provide different services or service different industries.

Increased competition may result in lower prices and volumes, higher costs for resources, especially people, and lower profitability. We may not be able to supply clients with services that they deem superior and at competitive prices and we may lose business to our competitors. Any inability to compete effectively would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business could be materially and adversely affected if we do not protect our intellectual property or if our services are found to infringe on the intellectual property of others.

Our success depends in part on certain methodologies, practices, tools and technical expertise we utilize in designing, developing, implementing and maintaining applications and other proprietary intellectual property rights. In order to protect our rights in these various intellectual properties, we rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements as well as patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws. We also generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, clients and potential clients and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. India is a member of the Berne Convention, an international intellectual property treaty, and has agreed to recognize protections on intellectual property rights conferred under the laws of other foreign countries, including the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that the laws, rules, regulations and treaties in effect in the United States, India and the other jurisdictions in which we operate and the contractual and other

protective measures we take, are adequate to protect us from misappropriation or unauthorized use of our intellectual property, or that such laws will not change. We may not be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our rights, and any such steps may not be successful. Infringement by others of our intellectual property, including the costs of enforcing our intellectual property rights, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we may not be able to prevent others from using our data and proprietary information to compete with us. Existing trade secret, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection. Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our data and proprietary information at all. If we have to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our rights, the proceedings could be burdensome, protracted, distracting to management and expensive and could involve a high degree of risk and be unsuccessful.

Although we believe that we are not infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, claims may nonetheless be successfully asserted against us in the future. The costs of defending any such claims could be significant, and any successful claim may require us to modify, discontinue or rename any of our services. Any such changes may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A substantial portion of our assets, employees and operations are located in India and we are subject to regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties in India.

We are subject to several risks associated with having a substantial portion of our assets, employees and operations located in India.

We have benefited from many policies of the Government of India and the Indian state governments in the states in which we operate which are designed to promote foreign investment generally and the business process services industry in particular, including significant fiscal incentives, relaxation of regulatory restrictions, liberalized import and export duties and preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation. In the past, policies we have benefited from have lapsed or are no longer available to us, and there is no assurance that policies from which we benefit will be available to us in the future. Various factors, such as changes in the central or state governments, could trigger significant changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.

In addition, our financial performance and the market price of our common shares may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and economic and fiscal policy in India, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies, as well as social stability and political, economic or diplomatic developments affecting India in the future. In particular, India has experienced significant economic growth over the last several years, but faces major challenges in sustaining that growth in the years ahead. These challenges include the need for substantial infrastructure development and improving access to healthcare and education. Recent economic reform efforts have been disruptive and may increase the level of economic uncertainty in India. Our ability to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, develop and operate our delivery centers, and attract and retain clients could be adversely affected if India does not successfully meet these challenges.

We may face difficulties as we expand our operations into countries in which we have no prior operating experience.

We intend to continue to expand our global footprint in order to maintain an appropriate cost structure and meet our clients’ delivery needs. This may involve expanding into countries other than those in which we currently operate. It may involve expanding into less developed countries, which may have less political, social or economic stability and less developed infrastructure and legal systems. As we expand our business into new countries we may encounter regulatory, personnel, technological and other difficulties that increase our expenses or delay our ability to start up our operations or become profitable in such countries. This may affect our relationships with our clients and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence involving any of the countries in which we or our clients have operations could adversely affect our operations and client confidence.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially lead to economic recession, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. These events could adversely affect our clients’ levels of business activity and precipitate sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles. For instance, the rapidly developing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is creating volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets. These events also pose significant risks to our people and to our delivery centers and operations around the world.

Southern Asia has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among neighboring countries, including India and Pakistan. In recent years, military confrontations between India and Pakistan have occurred in the region of Kashmir and along the India/Pakistan border. There have also been incidents in and near India, such as continued terrorist activity around the northern border of India, troop mobilizations along the India/Pakistan border and an aggravated geopolitical situation in the region. In addition, in 2020 and 2021, there was a series of conflicts between India and China along their shared border, and although both countries are making efforts to de-escalate these conflicts, there can be no assurance that tensions in the area will diminish in the near future. Such military activity or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the Indian economy by disrupting communications and making travel more difficult. Resulting political tensions could create a greater perception that investments in companies with Indian operations involve a high degree of risk, and that there is a risk of disruption of services provided by companies with Indian operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our share price and/or the market for our services. Furthermore, if India or bordering countries were to become engaged in armed hostilities, particularly hostilities that were protracted or involved the threat or use of nuclear weapons, we might not be able to continue our operations. We generally do not have insurance for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks, military conflicts and wars.

If more stringent labor laws become applicable to us or if our employees unionize, our profitability may be adversely affected.

India has stringent labor legislation that protects employee interests, including legislation that sets forth detailed procedures for dispute resolution and employee removal and legislation that imposes financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment. Though we are exempt from some of these labor laws at present under exceptions in some states for providers of IT-enabled services, there can be no assurance that such laws will not become applicable to us in the future. If these labor laws become applicable to our employees, it may become difficult for us to maintain flexible human resource policies and attract and employ the numbers of sufficiently qualified candidates that we need or discharge employees, and our compensation expenses may increase significantly.

In addition, our employees may in the future form unions. If employees at any of our delivery centers become eligible for union membership, we may be required to raise wage levels or grant other benefits that could result in an increase in our compensation expenses, in which case our profitability may be adversely affected.

We may engage in strategic transactions that could create risks.

As part of our business strategy, we regularly review potential strategic transactions, including potential acquisitions, dispositions, consolidations, joint ventures or similar transactions, some of which may be material. Through the acquisitions we pursue, we may seek opportunities to add to or enhance the services we provide, to enter new industries or expand our client base, or to strengthen our global presence and scale of operations. We have completed numerous acquisitions since our inception. There can be no assurance that we will find suitable candidates in the future for strategic transactions at acceptable prices, have sufficient capital resources to accomplish our strategy, or be successful in entering into agreements for desired transactions.

Acquisitions, including completed acquisitions, also pose the risk that any business we acquire may lose clients or employees or could under-perform relative to expectations. We could also experience financial or other setbacks if transactions encounter unanticipated problems, including problems related to execution, integration or unknown liabilities. Although we conduct due diligence in connection with our acquisitions, there could be liabilities that we fail to discover, that we inadequately assess or that are not properly disclosed to us. Any material liabilities associated with our acquisitions could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Following the completion of an acquisition, we may have to rely on the seller to provide administrative and other support, including financial reporting and internal controls, to the acquired business for a period of time. There can be no assurance that the seller will do so in a manner that is acceptable to us.

We may become subject to taxation as a result of our incorporation in Bermuda or place of management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have received a written assurance from the Bermuda Minister of Finance under The Exempted Undertaking Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda to the effect that if there is enacted in Bermuda any legislation imposing tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of any such tax shall not be applicable to us or to any of our operations or common shares, debentures or other obligations or securities until March 31, 2035, except insofar as such tax applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or is payable by us in respect of real property owned or leased by us in Bermuda. We cannot assure you that after such date we would not be subject to any such tax. If we were to become subject to taxation in Bermuda or any other jurisdiction as a result of our incorporation in Bermuda, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Economic substance requirements in Bermuda could adversely affect us.

Harmful tax practices have become the focus of increased scrutiny from the EU. Following a 2017 assessment by the Code of Conduct Group (Business Taxation), or the COCG, which included Bermuda in a list of jurisdictions required by the EU to address the COCG’s concerns relating to the demonstration of economic substance, the Bermuda Government implemented legislation which brought certain substance requirements into force in 2019 for Bermuda entities. Pursuant to the economic substance requirements, core income generating activities carried out by Bermuda companies must be undertaken in Bermuda. To satisfy these requirements, we may be required to conduct additional activities in Bermuda. The substance requirements could be difficult to manage or implement, and compliance with the requirements could be difficult or costly and could have a material adverse effect on us or our operations.

We may not be able to realize the entire book value of goodwill and other intangible assets from acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2021, we had $1,731 million of goodwill and $170 million of intangible assets. We periodically assess these assets to determine if they are impaired and we monitor for impairment of goodwill relating to all acquisitions and our formation in 2004. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis as of December 31 of each year, based on a number of factors including macro-economic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, business plans and expected future cash flows. Impairment testing of goodwill may also be performed between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount. We perform an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, the Company performs the quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the book value of our goodwill and other intangible assets is impaired, any such impairment would be charged to earnings in the period of impairment. We cannot assure you that any future impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to our Shares

The issuance of additional common shares by us or the sale of our common shares by our employees could dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest in the Company and could significantly reduce the market price of our common shares.

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common shares.

We have issued a significant number of equity awards under our equity compensation plans. The shares underlying these awards are or, with respect to certain option grants, will be registered on a Form S-8 registration statement. As a result, upon vesting these shares can be freely exercised and sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates. The exercise of options and the subsequent sale of the underlying common shares or the sale of common shares upon vesting of other equity awards could cause a decline in our share price. These sales also might make it difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Certain of our employees, executive officers and directors have entered or may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans providing for sales of our common shares from time to time. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the employee, director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from the employee, officer or director. A Rule 10b5-1 plan may be amended or terminated in some circumstances. Our employees, executive officers and directors may also buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material, nonpublic information.

In addition, we may in the future engage in strategic transactions that could dilute our shareholders’ ownership and cause our share price to decline. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares or other securities by us could also dilute our shareholders’ interests, lower the market price of our common shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare and pay dividends on our common shares, and future determinations to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors.

Prior to 2017, we did not declare regular dividends. In February 2017, we announced the declaration of the first quarterly cash dividend on our common shares and have paid a quarterly cash dividend each quarter since that date. Any determination to pay dividends to holders of our common shares in the future, including future payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, general business conditions, statutory requirements under Bermuda law and any other factors our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will also continue to be subject to restrictive covenants contained in credit facility agreements governing indebtedness we and our subsidiaries have incurred or may incur in the future. In addition, statutory requirements under Bermuda law could require us to defer making a dividend payment on a declared dividend date until such time as we can meet statutory requirements under Bermuda law. A reduction in, delay of, or elimination of our dividend payments could have a negative effect on our share price.

We are organized under the laws of Bermuda, and Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to shareholders.

Our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a state of the United States. As a Bermuda company, we are governed by, in particular, the Companies Act. The Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers, amalgamations, takeovers and indemnification of directors.

Generally, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies generally do not have the right to take action against directors or officers of the company except in limited circumstances. Directors of a Bermuda company must, in exercising their powers and performing their duties, act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company, exercising the care and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position in which their duties to the company and their personal interests may conflict and also are under a duty to disclose any personal interest in any material contract or arrangement with the company or any of its subsidiaries. If a director of a Bermuda company is found to have breached his or her duties to that company, he may be held personally liable to the company in respect of that breach of duty. A director may be liable jointly and severally with other directors if it is shown that the director knowingly engaged in fraud or dishonesty (with such unlimited liability as the courts shall direct). In cases not involving fraud or dishonesty, the liability of the director will be determined by the Supreme Court of Bermuda or other Bermuda court (with such liability as the Bermuda court thinks just) who may take into account the percentage of

responsibility of the director for the matter in question, in light of the nature of the conduct of the director and the extent of the causal relationship between his or her conduct and the loss suffered.

In addition, our bye-laws contain a broad waiver by our shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our officers or directors. The waiver applies to any action taken by an officer or director, or the failure of an officer or director to take any action, in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving or arising out of any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the officer or director or to matters which would render it void pursuant to the Companies Act. This waiver limits the rights of shareholders to assert claims against our officers and directors unless the act or failure to act involves fraud or dishonesty. Therefore, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a state within the United States.

The market price for our common shares has been and may continue to be volatile.

The market price for our common shares has been and may continue to be volatile and subject to price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Among the factors that could affect our share price are:

• terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), or other such events impacting countries where we or our clients have operations;

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results;

•changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

•changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies engaged in providing business process and information technology services;

•loss of one or more significant clients;

•addition or loss of executive officers or key employees;

•regulatory developments in our target markets affecting us, our clients or our competitors;

•announcements of technological developments;

•limited liquidity in our trading market;

•sales or expected sales of additional common shares, either by us, our employees, or any of our shareholders, or purchases or expected purchases of common shares, including by us under existing or future share repurchase programs, which purchases are at the discretion of our board of directors and may not continue in the future; and

•actions or announcements by activist shareholders or others.

In addition, securities markets generally and from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

You may be unable to effect service of process or enforce judgments obtained in the United States or Bermuda against us or our assets in the jurisdictions in which we or our executive officers operate.

We are incorporated and organized under the laws of Bermuda, and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Bermuda or in countries, other than the United States, where we have assets based on the civil liability or penal provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is some doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda and other countries would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liability or penal provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States or would hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. We have been advised by Appleby (Bermuda) Limited, our Bermuda counsel, that the United States and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on United States federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Bermuda. Similarly, those judgments may not be enforceable in countries, other than the United States, where we have assets.

Continued impact of COVID-19 on our business and results of operations

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy and the markets in which we operate. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the pandemic had a modest negative impact on our results and may continue to have an impact on us in future periods. This section provides a brief overview of how we are responding to known and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While many of our employees globally continue to work from home, we have reopened our offices, in some instances on a limited and voluntary basis, where circumstances have enabled us to do so. In these circumstances we have implemented additional health and safety measures consistent with government recommendations and/or requirements to help ensure employee safety. These measures include health screening, social distancing, contact tracing, enhanced cleaning procedures, and testing and vaccination requirements.

During the year, governments began easing COVID-19 restrictions, which contributed to a resurgence of COVID-19 cases and the spread of COVID-19 variants. The availability of vaccines (and vaccine boosters) continues to increase around the world, albeit with slower than anticipated rollouts and challenges in certain countries.

Our Global Leadership Council continues to coordinate and oversee our actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including business continuity planning, monitoring our revenue and profitability, developing transformation service offerings to address new and developing client needs, and evaluating and adapting our human resource policies. We believe this coordinated effort will maximize our flexibility and allow us to quickly implement any necessary protocols for devising solutions to the problems we and our clients are facing or may face in the future in relation to the pandemic.

As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, we will continue to assess its impact on the Company and respond accordingly. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business and the industry in which we operate remains unknown and unpredictable. Our past results may not be indicative of our future performance, and our financial results in future periods, including but not limited to net revenues, income from operations, income from operations margin, net income and earnings per share, may differ materially from historical trends. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the duration and severity of the pandemic; future variants of the COVID-19 virus and the severity of such variants; rates of vaccination and the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots, and treatments for COVID-19 globally; the macroeconomic impact of the spread of the virus; and related government stimulus measures. We are currently unable to predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures and the related macroeconomic impacts. For example, to the extent the pandemic continues to disrupt economic activity globally, we, like other businesses, will not be immune from its effects, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected, possibly materially, by prolonged decreases in spending on the types of services we provide, deterioration of our clients’ credit, or reduced economic activities. In addition, some of our expenses are less variable in nature and do not closely correlate with revenues, which may lead to a decrease in our profitability.

For additional information about the risks we face in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors.”

Overview

Our 2021 revenues were $4.0 billion, an increase of 8.4% year-over-year, or 7.2% on a constant currency1 basis.

Net Revenues

Revenue by top clients. The table below sets forth the percentage of our total net revenues derived from our largest clients, including the General Electric Company, or GE, in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021:


	Percentage of Total Net Revenues
	Year ended December 31,
	2020		2021
Top five clients	29.0	%	24.3	%
Top ten clients	38.5	%	33.6	%
Top fifteen clients	45.1	%	39.8	%
Top twenty clients	49.9	%	44.3	%

We earn revenues pursuant to contracts that generally take the form of a master service agreement, or MSA, which is a framework agreement that is then supplemented by statements of work, or SOWs. Our MSAs specify the general terms applicable to the services we will provide. Our MSAs are generally for terms of three to seven years, although they may also have an indefinite term or be for terms of less than three years. In most cases they do not specify pricing terms or obligate the client to purchase a particular amount of services. We then enter into SOWs under an MSA, which specify particular services to be provided and the pricing terms. Most of our revenues are from SOWs with terms of two to five years. We typically have multiple SOWs under any given MSA, and the terms of our SOWs vary depending on the nature of the services to be provided. We seek to develop long-term relationships with our clients. We believe that these relationships best serve our clients as they create opportunities for us to provide a variety of services using the full range of our capabilities and to deliver continuous process improvement.

New business proposals are reviewed in line with our strategy to target specific industry verticals and geographical markets. We begin each year with a set of named accounts, including prospective clients with operations in our target areas, and all opportunities during the year are reviewed by business leaders from the applicable industry vertical, operations personnel, and members of our finance team. In this way, we try to ensure that contract terms meet our pricing, cash and service objectives. See Item 1—“Business—Sales and marketing” for additional information.

Many factors affect how we price our contracts. Under some of our MSAs, we are able to share a limited amount of inflation and currency exchange risk for engagements lasting longer than 12 months. Many of our MSAs also provide that, under transaction-based and fixed-price SOWs, we are entitled to retain a portion of certain productivity benefits we achieve. However, some of our MSAs and SOWs require certain minimum productivity benefits to be passed on to our clients. Once an MSA and the related SOWs are signed and production of services commences, our revenues and expenses increase as services are ramped up to the agreed upon level. In many cases, we may have opportunities to increase our profit margins over the life of an MSA or SOW, driven by a number of factors. Our revenues include gains or losses arising upon the maturity of qualified cash flow hedges.

Under our services agreements with GE, GE has the right to terminate the MSA or any SOW in whole or in part for any reason by providing us with a short period of advance notice, subject to early termination charges where applicable. GE is not obligated to provide us with any exclusivity or opportunity to work on GE projects and GE is not required to purchase a minimum amount of services from us.

Although some decisions about our services may be made centrally at GE, the total level of business we receive from GE generally depends on the decisions of the various operating managers of the GE businesses we serve. Because our business from GE is derived from a variety of businesses within GE, our exposure to GE is diversified in terms of industry risk. See Item 1A—“Risk Factors—GE has historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenues and any material loss of business from, or our failure to maintain relationships with, GE and former GE businesses could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Classification of certain net revenues. We classify our net revenues in two categories: net revenues from Global Clients and net revenues from GE. Net revenues from Global Clients consist of revenues from services provided to all

clients other than GE and the companies in which GE owns 20% or more of the outstanding equity interest. If GE ceases to own at least 20% of a business we serve and that business enters into a new agreement with us, we reclassify the revenues from such business as Global Client revenues from the date of divestiture. The impact of the reclassification of revenue from divested GE businesses to Global Client revenue was immaterial in 2020, while the impact of such reclassifications in 2021 was $38.7 million.

In many cases, we have continued to perform services for GE-divested businesses following their divestiture by GE even though they were not obligated by the GE MSA to continue to use our services. In such cases, we have either entered into new MSAs with respect to such businesses following their divestiture by GE or agreed with such businesses to continue to work pursuant to the terms agreed to by GE. We are currently undertaking efforts, and plan to continue efforts, to procure engagements with the businesses that GE divests as part of its GE Capital divestitures.

Expenses. Personnel expenses are a major component of both our cost of revenue and our selling, general and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses include salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation) as well as costs related to recruitment and training. Personnel expenses are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the employee. Stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses using an appropriate allocation basis.

Our industry is labor-intensive. Wage levels in the countries in which our delivery centers are located have historically increased on a year-over-year basis. We attempt to address the impact of wage increases, and pressures to increase wages, in a number of ways, which include seeking to control entry-level wages, managing our attrition rate, delivering productivity and “right-skilling,” which refers to ensuring that positions are not filled by overqualified employees. We try to control increases in entry-level wages by implementing innovative recruitment policies, utilizing continuous training techniques, emphasizing promotion opportunities and maintaining an attractive work atmosphere and culture.

In planning capacity expansion, we look for locations that help us ensure global delivery capability while helping us control average salary levels. In India and in other countries where we may open multiple offices or delivery centers, we try to expand into cities where competition for personnel and wage levels may be lower than in more developed cities. In addition, under some of our contracts we can share with our clients a portion of any increase in costs due to inflation. Nevertheless, despite these steps, we expect general increases in wage levels in the future, which could adversely affect our margins. A significant increase in attrition rates would also increase our recruitment and training costs and decrease our operating efficiency, productivity and profit margins. Increased attrition rates or increased pricing may also cause some clients to be less willing to use our services. See Item 1A—“Risk Factors—Wage increases in the countries where we operate may reduce our profit margin.”

Our operational expenses include facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses, IT expenses, and consulting and certain other expenses. Consulting charges, consisting of the cost of consultants and contract employees with specialized skills who are directly responsible for the performance of services for clients, are included in cost of revenue. Facilities maintenance expenses and certain other expenses are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the employee’s function.

Cost of revenue. The principal component of cost of revenue is personnel expenses. We include in cost of revenue all personnel expenses for employees who are directly responsible for the performance of services for clients, their supervisors and certain support personnel who may be dedicated to a particular client or a set of processes. Travel and living expenses are included in cost of revenue if the personnel expense for the employee incurring such expense is included in cost of revenue.

The ratio of cost of revenue to revenues for any particular SOW or for all SOWs under an MSA is typically higher in the early periods of the contract or client relationship than in later periods. This is because the number of supervisory and direct support personnel relative to the number of employees who are performing services declines in later periods of the contract. It is also because we may retain a portion of the benefit of productivity increases realized over time.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses are primarily comprised of personnel expenses for senior management and other support personnel in enabling functions, such as human resources, finance, legal, marketing, sales and sales support, and other non-billable support personnel. The operational costs component of SG&A expenses also includes travel and living costs for such personnel. Additionally, the operational costs component of SG&A expenses includes acquisition related costs, legal and professional fees (which represent the costs of third-party legal, tax, accounting and other advisors), investments in research and development, digital technology, advanced automation and robotics, and an allowance for credit losses.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization expenses relating to intangible assets acquired through acquisitions.

Other operating (income) expense, net. Other operating (income) expense, net primarily consists of the impact of the change in the fair value of earn-out consideration and deferred consideration relating to business acquisitions, as well as certain operating losses resulting from the write-down of operating lease right-of-use assets, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net. Foreign exchange gains (losses), net, primarily consists of gains or losses on the re-measurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities. In addition, it includes gains or losses from derivative contracts entered into to offset the impact of the re-measurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities. It also includes the realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

We also enter into derivative contracts to offset the impact of the re-measurement of non-functional currency expenditures and income. The gains or losses on derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are deferred and included under other comprehensive income (loss) until the derivative contracts mature, at which time the gains or losses on such cash flow hedges are classified as net revenues, cost of revenue or selling, general and administrative expenses based on the underlying risk being hedged. See Note 2—“Summary of significant accounting policies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules’’ and Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk.”

76% of our fiscal 2021 revenues were earned in U.S. dollars. We also received payments in euros, U.K. pounds sterling, Australian dollars, Japanese yen and Indian rupees. Our costs are primarily incurred in Indian rupees, as well as in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds sterling, Romanian lei, Chinese renminbi, euros and the currencies of the other countries in which we have operations. While some of our contracts provide for limited sharing of the risk of inflation and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we bear a substantial portion of this risk, and therefore our operating results could be negatively affected by adverse changes in wage inflation rates and foreign currency exchange rates. See our discussion of wage inflation under “Expenses” above. We enter into forward currency contracts, which are generally designed to qualify for hedge accounting, in order to hedge most of our net cost currency exposure between the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee and Mexican peso, between the Australian dollar and the Indian rupee, and between the euro and the Romanian leu, and our revenue currency exposure between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling, Philippine peso, Hungarian forint, Chinese renminbi, and the euro, and between the Chinese renminbi and the Japanese yen. However, our ability to hedge such risks is limited by local law, the liquidity of the market for such hedges and other practical considerations. Thus, our results of operations may be adversely affected if we are not able to enter into the desired hedging arrangements or if our hedging strategies are not successful. See Note 2—“Summary of significant accounting policies” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” for additional information.

Interest income (expense), net. Interest income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense on indebtedness, including resulting from interest rate swaps and a treasury rate lock agreement, finance lease obligations, interest adjustments relating to earn-out consideration in connection with certain acquisitions, certain items related to debt restructuring, and interest income on certain deposits. We manage a portion of our interest rate risk related to floating rate indebtedness by entering into interest rate swaps under which we receive floating rate payments based on the greater of LIBOR and the floor rate under our term loan and make payments based on a fixed rate.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net primarily includes certain government incentives received by our subsidiaries, changes in the fair value of assets in our deferred compensation plan, and settlement of certain pre-GE divestiture related tax liabilities for which we were indemnified by GE.

Income taxes. We are incorporated in Bermuda and have operations in many countries. Our effective tax rate has historically varied and will continue to vary from year to year based on the tax rate in the jurisdiction of our organization, the geographical sources of our earnings and the tax rates in those countries, the tax relief and incentives available to us, the financing and tax planning strategies employed by us, changes in tax laws or the interpretation thereof, and movements in our tax reserves, if any.

Bermuda taxes. We are organized in Bermuda. Bermuda does not impose any income tax on us.

Indian taxes. Indian SEZ legislation provides for a 15-year tax holiday scheme for operations established in designated special economic zones, or SEZs. Under the SEZ legislation, qualifying operations are eligible for a deduction from taxable income equal to (i) 100% of their profits or gains derived from the export of services for a period of five years from the commencement of operations; (ii) 50% of such profits or gains for the next five years; and (iii) 50% of such profits or gains for an additional period of five years, subject to the creation of a “Special Economic Zone Re-investment Reserve Account,” to be utilized only for acquiring new plant or machinery or for other business purposes, not including the distribution of dividends.

The Indian government enacted a law in 2019 that allows companies to elect to pay reduced tax rate on all of their income provided they do not take advantage of any tax holidays or other exemptions. In response to this law, we have ceased taking advantage of tax holidays in order to benefit from the reduced tax rate after March 31, 2021.

Additionally, the governments of foreign jurisdictions where we deliver services may assert that certain of our clients have a “permanent establishment” in such jurisdictions by reason of the activities we perform on their behalf, particularly those clients that exercise control over or have substantial dependency on our services. Such an assertion could affect the size and scope of the services requested by such clients in the future.

Transfer pricing. We have transfer pricing arrangements among our subsidiaries involved in various aspects of our business, including operations, marketing, sales and delivery functions. U.S., U.K., and Indian transfer pricing regulations, as well as the regulations applicable in the other countries in which we operate, require that any international transaction involving affiliated enterprises be made on arm’s-length terms. We consider the transactions among our subsidiaries to be substantially on arm’s-length pricing terms. If, however, a tax authority in any jurisdiction reviews any of our tax returns and determines that the transfer prices we have applied are not appropriate, or that other income of our affiliates should be taxed in that jurisdiction, we may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties, which would cause our tax expense to increase, possibly materially, thereby reducing our profitability and cash flows.

Other taxes. We have operating subsidiaries or branches in other countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as sales and marketing subsidiaries in certain jurisdictions, including the United States and the United Kingdom, which are subject to tax in such jurisdictions.

One of our subsidiaries in China obtained a ruling from the Government of China certifying it to be a Technologically Advanced Service Enterprise. As a result, that subsidiary was subject to a lower corporate income tax rate of 15%, initially for a three-year period that began in 2009, which has been extended through December 31, 2023, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. Our delivery centers also enjoy corporate tax holidays or concessional tax rates in certain other jurisdictions, including Costa Rica, Israel, Malaysia and the Philippines. These tax concessions will expire over the next few years, possibly increasing our overall tax rate.

Our ability to repatriate surplus earnings from our foreign subsidiaries in a tax-efficient manner is dependent upon interpretations of local laws, possible changes in such laws and the renegotiation of existing double tax avoidance treaties. Changes to any of these may adversely affect our overall tax rate.

Tax audits. Our tax liabilities may also increase, including due to accrued interest and penalties, if the applicable income tax authorities in any jurisdiction, during the course of any audits, were to disagree with any of our tax return positions. We have an indemnity from GE for any additional taxes attributable to periods prior to December 30, 2004.

Tax losses and other deferred tax assets. Our ability to utilize our tax loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets and credits may be affected if our profitability deteriorates or if new legislation is introduced that changes carry-forward or crediting rules. Additionally, reductions in enacted tax rates may affect the value of our deferred tax assets and our tax expense.

Certain Acquisitions

From time to time we may make acquisitions or engage in other strategic transactions if suitable opportunities arise, and we may use cash, securities, other assets or a combination thereof as consideration.

On December 31, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in Hoodoo Digital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, for total purchase consideration of $66.6 million. This amount represents cash consideration of $64.3 million, net of cash acquired of $2.3 million. This acquisition furthers our strategy to fuse experience and process innovation to help clients drive end-to-end digital transformation. Hoodoo’s expertise with Adobe Experience Manager and other Adobe applications complements our existing end-to-end client solution that seamlessly integrates digital content, ecommerce, data analytics, and marketing operations. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $44.2 million has been allocated among our three reporting units as follows: Banking, Capital Markets and Insurance ("BCMI") in the amount of $4.2 million, Consumer Goods, Retail, Life Sciences and Healthcare ("CGRLH") in the amount of $7.0 million and High Tech, Manufacturing and Services ("HMS") in the amount of $33.0 million, using a relative fair value allocation method. Goodwill arising from this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes and represents primarily the acquired capabilities and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

On December 31, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Enquero Inc, a California corporation, and certain affiliated entities in India, the Netherlands and Canada (collectively referred to as “Enquero”) for total purchase consideration of $148.8 million. This amount represents cash consideration of $137.2 million, net of cash acquired of $11.6 million. This acquisition increased the scale and depth of our data and analytics capabilities and enhanced our ability to accelerate our clients' digital transformation journeys through cloud technologies and advanced data analytics. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $87.9 million has been allocated among our three reporting units as follows: BCMI in the amount of $2.6 million, CGRLH in the amount of $22.5 million and HMS in the amount of $62.7 million, using a relative fair value allocation method. The goodwill arising from this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

On October 5, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in SomethingDigital.Com LLC, a New York limited liability company, for total purchase consideration of $57.5 million. This amount represents cash consideration of $56.1 million, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. This acquisition supported our strategy to integrate experience and process innovation to help clients on their digital transformation journeys and expanded on our existing experience capabilities to support end-to-end digital commerce solutions, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer. Additionally, this acquisition expanded our capabilities into Magento Commerce, which powers Adobe Commerce Cloud, and Shopify Plus, a cloud-based-ecommerce platform for high-volume merchants. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $36.9 million has been allocated among two of our reporting units as follows: CGRLH in the amount of $30.4 million and HMS in the amount of $6.5 million, using a relative fair value allocation method. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $35.1 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

On November 12, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in Rightpoint Consulting, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and certain affiliated entities in the United States and India (collectively referred to as “Rightpoint”) for total purchase consideration of $270.7 million. This amount includes cash consideration of $268.2 million, net of cash acquired of $2.5 million. This acquisition expanded our capabilities in improving customer experience and strengthened our reputation as a thought leader in this space. The securities purchase agreement provided certain of the selling equity holders the option to elect to either (a) receive 100% consideration in cash at the closing date for their limited liability company interests and vested options or (b) “roll over” and retain 25% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options and receive consideration in cash at closing for the remaining 75% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options. Certain selling equity holders elected to receive deferred, variable earnout consideration with an estimated value of $21.5 million over the three-year rollover period, which is included in the purchase consideration. The amount of deferred consideration ultimately payable to the rollover sellers will be based on the future revenue multiple of the acquired business. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $177.2 million has been allocated among our three reporting units as follows: BCMI in the amount of $17.0 million, CGRLH in the amount of $43.0 million and HMS in the amount of $117.2 million, using a relative fair value allocation method. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $91.9 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill primarily represents the acquired capabilities and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

New Bookings

New bookings is an operating or other statistical measure. We define new bookings as the total contract value of new client contracts and certain changes to existing client contracts to the extent that such contracts represent incremental future revenue. In determining total contract value for this purpose, we assume the minimum volume to which the client has committed or make a conservative projection where the client has not made a minimum volume commitment. New bookings attributable to large deals may exclude a portion of the total contract value above certain thresholds if the services are subject to certain contingencies, such as the establishment of new delivery centers or regulatory or other approvals. Regular renewals of contracts with no change in scope, which we consider business as usual, are not included as new bookings. We provide information regarding our new bookings because we believe doing so provides useful trend information regarding changes in the volume of our new business and may be a useful metric as an indicator of future revenue growth potential. New bookings is also used by management to measure our sales force productivity.

New bookings in 2021 were $3.7 billion, compared to $3.1 billion in 2020. Bookings increased both in our Transformation Services and Intelligent Operations services. GE bookings declined in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to a reduction in bookings related to mid-size Intelligent Operations engagements.

New bookings can vary significantly year to year depending in part on the timing of signing of large contracts. The types of services clients are demanding, the duration of the contract and the pace and level of client spending may impact the conversion of new bookings to revenues. For example, Intelligent Operations bookings, which are typically multi-year contracts, generally convert to revenue over a longer period of time compared to transformation services, which may include shorter cycle, project-based work.

Information regarding our new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of our revenues over time. The calculation of new bookings involves estimates and judgments. There are no third-party standards or requirements governing the calculation of new bookings. We do not update our new bookings for material subsequent terminations or reductions related to new bookings originally recorded in prior fiscal years. New bookings are recorded using then-existing foreign currency exchange rates and are not subsequently adjusted for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our revenues recognized each year will vary from the new bookings value since new bookings is a snapshot measurement of a portion of the total client contract value at a given time.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2—“Summary of significant accounting policies” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.” An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the financial statements or require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application. We base our estimates on historical experience, contractual commitments and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. We believe the following critical accounting policies require a higher level of management judgment and estimates than others in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition. We typically face a long selling cycle in securing a new customer. It is not unusual for us to spend twelve to eighteen months or more from the time we begin actively soliciting a new customer until we begin to recognize revenues.

All costs we incur prior to signing a contract with a customer are expensed as incurred, except for any incremental and direct costs incurred for acquiring the contracts, such as certain sales commissions to employees or third parties, which are classified as contract cost assets and are amortized over the expected period of benefit. Contract acquisition fees or other upfront fees paid to a customer are classified as contract assets which are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue.

Once a contract is signed, we defer revenues from the transition of services to our delivery centers, as well as the related cost of revenue where such activities do not represent separate performance obligations. Revenues relating to such transition activities are classified under contract liabilities and subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Costs relating to such transition activities are fulfillment costs which are directly related to the contract and result in the generation or enhancement of resources. Such costs are expected to be recoverable under the contract and are therefore classified as contract cost assets and recognized ratably over the estimated expected period of benefit under cost of revenue.

Our customer contracts sometimes also include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered or promised to be delivered to customers or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Revenues relating to such arrangements are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

We include offerings such as sale of licenses in certain contracts, which may be perpetual or subscription-based. Revenue from distinct perpetual licenses is recognized at the point in time when the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from distinct, non-cancellable, subscription-based licenses is recognized at the point in time when the license is transferred to the customer. Revenue from any associated maintenance or ongoing support services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For a combined software license/services performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period that the services are performed.

We price our services under a variety of arrangements, including time and materials, transaction-based and fixed-price contracts. When services are priced on a time-and-materials basis, we charge the customer based on full-time equivalent, or FTE, rates for the personnel who will directly perform the services. The FTE rates are determined on a periodic basis, vary by category of service delivery personnel and are set at levels to reflect all of our costs, including the cost of supervisory personnel, the allocable portion of other costs, and a margin. In some cases, time-and-materials contracts are based on hourly rates of the personnel providing the services. We recognize revenues when the promised services are delivered to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those services. We accrue for revenue and unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.

In transaction-based pricing, customers are charged a fixed fee per transaction, with the fee per transaction sometimes linked to the total number of transactions processed. Some of our contracts give the customer the option to prospectively change from a time-and-materials model to a transaction-based pricing model. Revenues from services rendered under time-and-material and transaction-based contracts are recognized as the services are provided.

In the case of fixed-price contracts, including those for application development, maintenance and support services, revenues are recognized ratably over the terms of the contracts.

We sometimes enter into multiple-element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of our products and services. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is recognized, for each element, based on an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone basis.

Revenue for performance obligations that are satisfied over time is recognized in accordance with the methods prescribed for measuring progress. The input (cost expended) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and the satisfaction of a performance obligation. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. If we receive payment in respect of services prior to the delivery of services, we recognize the payment as an advance from the customer, and it is classified as contract liability. When the related services are performed, the advance is transferred to revenue to the extent the services are rendered.

Significant judgements involved include (a) determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together where we enter into contracts with customers that include promises to transfer multiple products and services, (b) determining the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation and (c) estimating credits or refunds to our customers resulting from incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered to customers or under service level agreements. In instances where a standalone selling price for a performance obligation is not directly observable, we use information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. We estimate credit or refund amounts at contract inception and adjust them at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Changes in these estimates may impact revenue for any given period.

Business combinations. The application of business combination accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Contingent consideration is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. The measurement of purchase price, including future contingent consideration, if any, and its allocation, requires significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including with respect to intangible assets and deferred and contingent consideration. Significant estimates and assumptions we may make include, but are not limited to, the timing and amount of future revenue and cash flows based on, among other things, anticipated growth rates, customer attrition rates, and the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows.

In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances assumed in connection with business combinations are initially estimated as of the acquisition date, and we reevaluate these items quarterly with any adjustments to our preliminary estimates being recorded to goodwill within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on December 31, or as circumstances warrant based on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. We perform an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on our assessment of events or circumstances, we perform a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the results of our assessments of qualitative factors, we determined that the fair values of all of our reporting units are likely to be higher than their respective carrying amounts as of December 31, 2020 and 2021.

We capitalize certain software and technology development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers when the initial design phase is completed and commercial and technological feasibility has been established. Any development cost incurred before technological feasibility is established is expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed design program or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Capitalized software and technology costs include only (i) the external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software and technology and (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the project.

We test our intangible assets for impairment whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether we have incurred an impairment loss requires comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the sum of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. When determining the fair value of our intangible assets, we utilize various assumptions, including discount

rates, estimated growth rates, economic trends and projections of future cash flows. These projections also take into account factors such as the expected impact of new client contracts, expanded or new business from existing clients, efficiency initiatives, and the maturity of the markets in which each of our businesses operates. We generally categorize intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination as customer-related, marketing-related, technology-related, and other intangible assets. See Note 2—“Summary of significant accounting policies—Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets” and Note 10—“Goodwill and intangible assets” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules’’ for more information about how we value our intangible assets. Actual results may vary, and may cause significant adjustments to the valuation of our assets in the future.

Income taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and for all operating losses and tax credits carried forward, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax status is recognized in the statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date or the filing or approval date of the tax status change. Deferred tax assets are recognized in full, subject to a valuation allowance that reduces the amount recognized to that which is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, we consider estimates of future taxable income.

In the case of an entity that benefits from a corporate tax holiday, deferred tax assets or liabilities for existing temporary differences are recorded only to the extent such temporary differences are expected to reverse after the expiration of the tax holiday.

We also evaluate potential exposures related to tax contingencies or claims made by tax authorities in various jurisdictions and determine if a reserve is required. A reserve is recorded if we believe that a loss is more likely than not to occur and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Any such reserves are based on estimates and are subject to changing facts and circumstances considering the progress of ongoing audits, case law and new legislation. We believe that the reserves we have established are adequate.

We apply a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining, based on the technical merits, that the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. We also include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within our provision for income tax expense.

We generally plan to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, except for those earnings that can be repatriated in a tax-free manner. Accordingly, we do not currently accrue any material income, distribution or withholding taxes that would arise if such earnings were repatriated.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020

Net revenues. Our net revenues were $4,022.2 million in 2021, up $312.8 million, or 8.4%, from $3,709.4 million in 2020. The growth in our net revenues was primarily driven by Global Clients, led by both transformation services and intelligent operations engagements, with double-digital growth across most of our verticals. Our net revenues from GE declined in 2021 compared to 2020, largely due to committed productivity and a reduction in GE’s discretionary expenditures resulting from the macroeconomic environment, as well as GE’s divestitures of certain businesses that as of January 1, 2021 are included in our Global Client portfolio.

Adjusted for foreign exchange, primarily the impact of changes in the values of the euro, Australian dollar and U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, our net revenues grew 7.2% in 2021 compared to 2020 on a constant currency2 basis. Revenue growth on a constant currency2 basis is a non-GAAP measure. We provide information about our revenue growth on a constant currency2 basis so that our revenue may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations compared to prior fiscal periods, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Total net revenues on a constant currency2 basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates and adjusted for hedging gains/losses.

Our average headcount increased to approximately 103,100 in 2021 from approximately 96,700 in 2020.


	Year ended December 31,				Percentage change increase/ (decrease) 2021 vs. 2020
	2020		2021
	(dollars in millions)
Net revenues—Global Clients	$	3,250.5	$	3,646.0	12.2	%
Net revenues—GE	$	458.9	$	376.2	(18.0)	%
Total net revenues	$	3,709.4	$	4,022.2	8.4	%

Net revenues from Global Clients in 2021 were $3,646.0 million, up $395.5 million, or 12.2%, from $3,250.5 million in 2020. This increase was primarily driven by double-digital growth across most of our verticals within our CGRLH and HMS segments, led by both transformation services and intelligent operations engagements, partially offset by the impact of a restructured relationship with one of our banking and capital markets clients. Global Client revenue also included the impact of GE's divestitures of certain businesses that as of January 1, 2021 are included in our Global Client portfolio. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 87.6% in 2020 to 90.6% in 2021.

Net revenues from GE were $376.2 million in 2021, down $82.7 million, or 18.0%, from 2020, largely due to committed productivity and a reduction in GE’s discretionary expenditures resulting from the macroeconomic environment, as well as the impact of $38.7 million in revenues in 2021 from certain GE-divested businesses that as of January 1, 2021 are included in Global Client revenue.

Revenues by segment were as follows:


	Year ended December 31,				Percentage change increase/ (decrease) 2021 vs. 2020
	2020		2021
	(dollars in millions)
BCMI	$	1,079.2	$	1,016.8	(5.8)	%
CGRLH	1,264.7		1,509.5		19.4	%
HMS	1,388.8		1,479.2		6.5	%
Others	(23.3)		16.7		171.8	%
Total net revenues	$	3,709.4	$	4,022.2	8.4	%

2 Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates adjusted for hedging gains/losses in such period.

Net revenues from our BCMI segment decreased 5.8% in 2021 compared to 2020, largely due to the impact of the restructuring of a contract with a large client in our banking and capital markets vertical during the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by higher revenues from clients in our insurance vertical. Revenues from our BCMI segment increased sequentially in the last three quarters of 2021. Net revenues in our CGRLH segment increased 19.4% in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily driven by an increase in both our transformation services and intelligent operations engagements, including the ramp-up of several large relationships as well as revenue from Enquero and SomethingDigital.Com LLC, which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net revenues from our HMS segment increased 6.5% in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily driven by an increase in revenues from Global Clients largely related to transformation services and ramp-ups of new deals, as well as incremental revenue from Enquero, partially offset by lower revenues from GE in our manufacturing and services vertical due to committed productivity and a reduction in GE’s discretionary expenditures resulting from the macroeconomic environment. Net revenues from "Others" in the table above primarily represents the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which is not allocated to our segments for management’s internal reporting purposes. For additional information, see Note 24—“Segment reporting” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue was $2,590.3 million in 2021, up $172.2 million, or 7.1%, from $2,418.1 million in 2020. The increase in our cost of revenue in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to (i) an increase in our operational headcount supporting revenue growth, including in the number of onshore personnel related to large deals and transformation services delivery as well as from the acquisition of SomethingDigital.Com LLC and Enquero in the fourth quarter of 2020, (ii) wage inflation, (iii) increased hiring costs related to new deals and other growth initiatives, and (iv) higher expenses associated with increased medical costs. This increase was partially offset by (i) improved utilization of resources, (ii) a decrease in travel costs due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and (iii) a decrease in depreciation expense in 2021 compared to 2020. We also recorded a non-recurring charge related to retirement fund assets in India and a restructuring charge related to employee severance in 2020, while no corresponding charge was recorded in 2021. For additional information, see Note 28—“Restructuring” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Gross margin. Our gross margin increased from 34.8% in 2020 to 35.6% in 2021, primarily driven by an increase in the share of our revenue derived from our transformation services and reflecting digitization-led productivity as well as lower depreciation cost and lower travel costs due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by higher expenses associated with medical costs, and an increase in hiring costs related to new deals and other growth opportunities. We also recorded a non-recurring charge related to retirement fund assets in India and a restructuring charge related to employee severance in 2020, while no corresponding charges were recorded in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 21.3% in 2020 to 21.5% in 2021. SG&A expenses were $865.7 million in 2021, up $75.9 million, or 9.6%, from $789.8 million in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher staffing to support increased revenues, higher medical costs, higher planned research and development investments in cloud-based offerings and other prioritized service lines, higher marketing expenses, and wage inflation in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by lower depreciation expense. We also recorded a non-recurring employee severance charge as part of our restructuring in 2020, while no corresponding charge was recorded in 2021.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles was $58.4 million in 2021, up $15.1 million, or 34.8%, from $43.3 million in 2020. This increase is primarily due to higher amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Enquero and SomethingDigital.Com LLC in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Other operating (income) expense, net. Other operating income (net of expense) was $1.2 million in 2021, compared to other operating expense (net of income) of $19.3 million in 2020. This reduction was primarily due to a non-recurring impairment charge of $31.2 million related to the abandonment of certain leased office premises and tangible and intangible assets, primarily technology-and customer-related, partially offset by a $7.8 million decrease in the fair value of earn-out liabilities recorded in 2020, while no similar significant charges or earn-out adjustments were recorded in 2021. For additional information, see Note 28—“Restructuring” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 11.8% in 2020 to 12.7% in 2021. Income from operations was $509.0 million in 2021, up 16.0%, or $70.3 million, from $438.7 million in 2020.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net. We recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $12.7 million in 2021, compared to $7.5 million in 2020. The gains in 2021 resulted primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and gains from fair value hedges. The gains in 2020 resulted primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Interest income (expense), net. Our interest expense (net of interest income) was $51.4 million in 2021, up $2.4 million from $49.0 million in 2020, primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in interest expense related to our $350 million aggregate principal amount of 1.750% senior notes issued in March 2021. This increase was partially offset by a lower outstanding amount on our term loan, lower drawdown of our revolving credit facility and a lower average London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")-based rate on our revolving credit facility and term loan, partially offset by higher losses on interest rate swaps in 2021 compared to 2020, which we discuss in the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition” below. Our interest income decreased by $0.4 million in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to lower interest income in India in 2021 compared to 2020. The weighted average rate of interest on our debt, including the net impact of interest rate swaps, decreased from 3.0% in 2020 to 2.9% in 2021.

Other income (expense), net. Our other income (net of expense) was $12.9 million in 2021, up $9.7 million from $3.2 million in 2020. The increase in other income was primarily attributable to export subsidies received in India, settlement of certain pre-GE divestiture related tax liabilities for which we were indemnified by GE, and higher gains on the fair value of assets in our deferred compensation plan in 2021 compared to 2020.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense increased from $92.2 million in 2020 to $113.7 million in 2021. Our effective tax rate, or ETR, was 23.5% in 2021, up from 23.0% in 2020. The increase in our ETR is primarily due to certain discrete items recorded in 2021, partially offset by interest received on income tax refunds during 2021.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income as a percentage of net revenues was 9.2% in 2021, up from 8.3% in 2020. Net income increased by $61.1 million from $308.3 million in 2020 to $369.4 million in 2021.

Adjusted income from operations. Adjusted income from operations, or AOI, increased by $73.9 million from $588.8 million in 2020 to $662.7 million in 2021. Our AOI margin increased from 15.9% in 2020 to 16.5% in 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher revenues, gross margin, and operating leverage in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by wage inflation, higher planned research and development investments in cloud-based offerings and other prioritized service lines, and higher medical costs in 2021 compared to 2020.

AOI is a non-GAAP measure and is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We believe that presenting AOI together with our reported results can provide useful supplemental information to our investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. A limitation of using AOI versus net income calculated in accordance with GAAP is that AOI excludes certain recurring costs and certain other charges, namely stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We compensate for this limitation by providing specific information on the GAAP amounts excluded from AOI.

We calculate AOI as net income, excluding (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, (iii) acquisition-related expenses excluded in the period in which an acquisition is consummated, (iv) foreign exchange (gain)/loss, (v) restructuring expenses, (vi) interest (income) expense, and (vii) income tax expense, as we believe that our results after taking into account these adjustments more accurately reflect our ongoing operations. For additional information, see Note 24—“Segment reporting” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our then current and expected revenues, we recorded a $26.5 million restructuring charge primarily related to the abandonment of leased office premises and employee severance charges. This restructuring charge was excluded from AOI during the year ended December 31, 2020, and no corresponding charge was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021. For additional information, see Note 28—“Restructuring” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

The following table shows the reconciliation of AOI to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021:


	Year ended December 31,
	2020		2021
	(dollars in millions)
Net income	$	308.3	$	369.4
Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net	(7.5)		(12.7)
Interest (income) expense, net	49.0		51.4
Income tax expense	92.2		113.7
Stock-based compensation	74.0		82.0
Amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets	43.6		57.6
Acquisition-related expenses	2.7		1.2
Restructuring expenses	26.5		—
Adjusted income from operations	$	588.8	$	662.7

The following table sets forth our AOI by reportable business segment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021:


	Year ended December 31,				Percentage change increase/ (decrease) 2021 vs. 2020
	2020		2021
	(dollars in millions)
BCMI	$	132.9	$	126.9	(4.5)	%
CGRLH	197.2		250.8		27.2	%
HMS	244.2		272.8		11.7	%
Others	14.5		12.2		(15.9)	%

AOI of our BCMI segment decreased to $126.9 million in 2021 from $132.9 million in 2020, largely as a result of the impact of restructuring a contract with a large client in our banking and capital markets vertical during the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by higher revenues in our insurance vertical. AOI of our CGRLH segment increased to $250.8 million in 2021 from $197.2 million in 2020, primarily driven by higher revenues in both our transformation services and intelligent operations, including revenue from Enquero and SomethingDigital.Com LLC acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by increased hiring costs related to new deals and higher medical costs. AOI of our HMS segment increased to $272.8 million in 2021 from $244.2 million in 2020, primarily due to increased leverage driven by revenue growth from Global Clients in our HMS segment, which also included revenue from Enquero acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, and higher utilization of resources, partially offset by higher medical costs and lower revenues from GE in our manufacturing and services vertical due to committed productivity and a reduction in GE’s discretionary expenditures resulting from the macroeconomic environment. AOI for “Others” in the table above primarily represents the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, adjustment of allowances for credit losses and over- or under-absorption of overheads, none of which is allocated to any individual segment for management's internal reporting purposes. See Note 24—“Segment reporting” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Seasonality

Our financial results may vary from period to period. Our revenues are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters than in other quarters, as a result of several factors. We generally find that demand for short-term transformation services, analytics and IT projects increases in the fourth quarter as our clients utilize the balance of their budgets for the year. In addition, contracts for long-term intelligent operations engagements are often signed in the first and second quarters as clients begin new budget cycles. Volumes under such contracts then increase in the latter part of the year as engagements ramp up. Additionally, demand for certain services, such as collections and transaction processing, is often greater in the second half of the year as our clients’ volumes in such areas increase.

Statement of financial position

Key changes in our financial position during 2021

Following are the significant changes in our financial position as of December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020:

•Short-term borrowings decreased by $250.0 million

The decrease is due to the repayment of $250.0 million in short-term borrowings using the proceeds of the issuance of our 1.750% senior notes in a registered offering in 2021. See Note 15—“Short-term borrowings” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” for additional information.

•Prepaid expenses, other current assets, contract cost assets and other assets decreased by $41.7 million

The decrease in prepaid expenses, other current assets, contract cost assets and other assets is primarily due to lower tax payments and higher tax refunds received, recovery of a deal bonus and severance costs as a result of the impact of restructuring a client contract, and a reduction in finance lease right-of-use assets. The decrease was partially offset by higher deferred billings, and an increase in contract cost assets. See Note 25—“Net revenues—Contract balances” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” for additional information.

•Net accounts receivable increased by $6.7 million

The increase in our accounts receivable is primarily due to increased revenues in 2021, offset by improved days sales outstanding.

•Goodwill and intangible assets decreased by $31.8 million

Goodwill increased by $35.3 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Hoodoo Digital, LLC in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by exchange rate fluctuations. Our intangible assets decreased by $67.1 million due to amortization and impairment expenses, offset by the acquisition of Hoodoo Digital, LLC. See Note 10—“Goodwill and intangible assets” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

•Operating lease right-of-use assets decreased by $34.1 million

The decrease in operating lease right-of-use assets is due to the amortization of right-of-use assets, partially offset by additions and modifications in 2021.

•Operating lease liability decreased by $36.5 million

The decrease in operating lease liability is due to lease payments, partially offset by additions and modifications in 2021.

•Accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and other liabilities increased by $2.5 million

The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and other liabilities is primarily due to an increase in expense and employee related accruals, partially offset by the payment of statutory liabilities (payroll taxes) that were deferred in 2020 as permitted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, and lower mark-to-market losses on derivative financial instruments.

•Long-term debt increased by $315.0 million

The increase in long-term debt is due to the issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 1.750% senior notes in a registered offering in 2021, offset by principal repayments of $34.0 million on our term loan.

For additional information, see Note 14—“Long-term debt” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

•Net deferred tax assets decreased by $2.8 million

Our net deferred tax assets decreased by $2.8 million. See Note 23—“Income taxes” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Financial Condition

We have historically financed our operations and our expansion, including acquisitions, with cash from operations and borrowing facilities.

As of December 31, 2021, $875.9 million of our $899.5 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign (non-Bermuda) subsidiaries. $3.5 million of this cash is held by foreign subsidiaries for which we expect to incur and have accrued a deferred tax liability on the repatriation of $9.6 million of retained earnings. $872.4 million of the cash and cash equivalents is either held as retained earnings by foreign subsidiaries in jurisdictions where no tax is expected to be imposed upon repatriation or is being indefinitely reinvested.

In February 2020, our board of directors approved a 15% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $0.085 per common share to $0.0975 per common share, representing an annual dividend of $0.39 per common share for 2020, up from $0.34 per share in 2019. On each of March 18, 2020, June 26, 2020, September 23, 2020 and December 23, 2020, we paid dividends of $0.0975 per share, amounting to $18.5 million, $18.6 million, $18.6 million and $18.4 million in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2020, June 11, 2020, September 11, 2020 and December 9, 2020, respectively.

In February 2021, our board of directors approved a 10% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $0.0975 per common share to $0.1075 per common share, representing an annual dividend of $0.43 per common share for 2021, up from $0.39 per share in 2020. On each of March 19, 2021, June 23, 2021, September 24, 2021 and December 22, 2021, we paid dividends of $0.1075 per share, amounting to $20.1 million, $20.1 million, $20.2 million, and $20.0 million in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2021, June 11, 2021, September 10, 2021, and December 10, 2021, respectively.

In February 2022, our board of directors approved a 16% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $0.1075 per common share to $0.125 per common share, representing a planned annual dividend of $0.50 per common share for 2022, up from $0.43 per share in 2021. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to Bermuda and other applicable laws.

The total authorization under our existing share repurchase program is $1,750.0 million, of which $338.9 million remained available as of December 31, 2021. Since our share repurchase program was initially authorized in 2015, we have repurchased 47,387,077 of our common shares at a weighted average price of $29.78 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,411.1 million. This amount includes shares repurchased under our 2017 accelerated share repurchase program.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, we repurchased 3,412,293 and 6,577,562 of our common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $40.16 and $45.32 per share, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $137.0 million and $298.1 million, respectively. All repurchased shares have been retired.

For additional information, see Note 19—“Capital stock” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

We expect that for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future our cash from operations, cash reserves and debt capacity will be sufficient to finance our operations, our growth and expansion plans, dividend payments and additional share repurchases we may make under our share repurchase program. However, there is no assurance that the impacts we have experienced to date, and any future impact we may experience, from the COVID-19 pandemic will not have an adverse effect on our cash flows. In addition, we may raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance our payroll and other administrative and information technology expenses in advance of the receipt of accounts receivable. Our primary capital requirements include opening new delivery centers, expanding existing operations to support our growth, financing acquisitions, and enhancing existing capabilities, including building digital solutions.

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:


	Year ended December 31,				Percentage change increase/ (decrease) 2021 vs. 2020
	2020		2021
	(dollars in millions)
Net cash provided by (used for)
Operating activities	$	584.3	$	694.3	18.8	%
Investing activities	(266.4)		(122.7)		(53.9)	%
Financing activities	(92.0)		(332.9)		261.8	%
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	225.9	$	238.7	5.7	%

Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $694.3 million in 2021, compared to $584.3 million in 2020. This increase was primarily due to a (i) $61.2 million increase in net income in 2021 compared to 2020, and (ii) a $70.8 million benefit due to a decrease in net operating assets driven by lower tax payments and higher tax refunds received in 2021 compared to 2020, higher expense accruals, and a reduction in customer acquisition costs in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by higher payments toward statutory liabilities (payroll taxes) that were deferred in 2020 as permitted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, and higher investments in accounts receivable in 2021 compared to 2020. The increase was offset by a $22.0 million decrease in non-cash expenses, primarily due to lower write-downs of operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, and a lower unrealized loss on the revaluation of foreign currency assets and liabilities in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense and lower deferred tax benefits in 2021 compared to 2020.

Cash flows from investing activities. Our net cash used for investing activities was $122.7 million in 2021, compared to $266.4 million in 2020. This change is primarily due to payments related to acquisitions that were $114.6 million lower in 2021 than in 2020, and payments for property, plant and equipment (net of sale proceeds) and acquired/internally generated intangible assets that were $28.9 million lower in 2021 than in 2020.

Cash flows from financing activities. Our net cash used for financing activities was $332.9 million in 2021, compared to $92.0 million in 2020. This change was primarily due to (i) higher payments for share repurchases (including expenses related to repurchases) amounting to $298.2 million in 2021 compared to $137.1 million in 2020, (ii) higher dividend payments in 2021, amounting to $80.5 million compared to $74.2 million in 2020, and (iii) an $80.0 million reduction in proceeds from borrowings (net of repayment) in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common shares under our stock-based compensation plans, amounting to $35.1 million in 2021 compared to $25.1 million in 2020.

Financing Arrangements (Credit facility)

The overall borrowing capacity under our revolving facility is $500.0 million, which we obtained through an amendment of our existing credit agreement on August 9, 2018. The unamortized costs and an additional third party fee paid in connection with the amendment is being amortized over the term of the amended facility, which expires on August 8, 2023.

Borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our election, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, in each case subject to adjustment based on our debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on our election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum. The unutilized amount on the revolving facility bore a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum. The amended credit agreement restricts certain payments, including dividend payments, if there is an event of default under the credit agreement or if we are not, or after making the payment would not be, in compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the amended credit agreement. These covenants require us to maintain a net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio of below 3x and an interest coverage ratio of more than 3x. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we are in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement, including all of the financial covenants therein. Our retained earnings are not subject to any restrictions on availability to make dividend payments to shareholders, subject to compliance with the financial covenants described above that are contained in the amended credit agreement.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, our outstanding term loan, net of debt amortization expense of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was $593.9 million and $560.3 million, respectively.

We also have fund-based and non-fund based credit facilities with banks, which are available for operational requirements in the form of overdrafts, letters of credit, guarantees and short-term loans. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the limit available under such facilities was $14.3 million and $24.7 million, respectively, of which $7.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, was utilized, constituting non-funded drawdown. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, a total of $252.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of our revolving credit facility was utilized, of which $250.0 million and $0 million, respectively, constituted funded drawdown, and $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, constituted non-funded drawdown.

We have entered into interest rate swaps under which we receive floating rate payments based on the greater of LIBOR and the floor rate under our term loan and make payments based on a fixed rate. As of December 31, 2021, we were party to interest rate swaps covering a total notional amount of $460.1 million. Under our swap agreements, the rate that we pay to banks in exchange for LIBOR ranges between 0.38% and 2.65%.

Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Genpact Luxembourg”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% senior notes in March 2017 (the “2017 Senior Notes”) and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior notes in November 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”).

The total debt issuance cost of $2.6 million and $2.9 million incurred in connection with the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes offerings, respectively, are being amortized over the respective lives of the notes as additional interest expense. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2017 Senior Notes, net of debt amortization expense of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was $349.3 million and $349.9 million, respectively, which is payable on April 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2019 Senior Notes, net of debt amortization expense of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, was $397.7 million and $398.3 million, respectively, which is payable on December 1, 2024.

In March 2021, Genpact Luxembourg and Genpact USA co-issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 1.750% senior notes (the "2021 Senior Notes"), resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $348.1 million, net of an underwriting commission of $1.4 million and a discount of $0.5 million. Other debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the offering of the 2021 Senior Notes amounted to $1.1 million. The 2021 Senior Notes are fully guaranteed by the Company. The total debt issuance cost of $3.0 million incurred in connection with the 2021 Senior Notes offerings is being amortized over the lives of the notes as additional interest expense. As of December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2021 Senior Notes, net of debt amortization expense of $2.6 million, was $347.4 million, which is payable on April 10, 2026.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

Goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment at least annually and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we have an option to perform an assessment of qualitative factors, including but not limited to macro-economic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, business plans and expected future cash flows, to determine whether events or circumstances exist which lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

Based on our assessment of such qualitative factors, in accordance with ASC 350, we concluded that as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the fair values of all of our reporting units are likely to be higher than their respective carrying values.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of foreign exchange contracts. For additional information, see Item 1A—“Risk Factors—Currency exchange rate fluctuations in various currencies in which we do business, especially the Indian rupee, the euro and the U.S. dollar, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition" and Note 7—“Derivative financial instruments” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Information

For additional information, see Note 27—“Commitments and contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

We also have operating and finance lease commitments of $420.6 million to be paid over the lease term. For additional information, see Note 12—“Leases” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

As discussed in Note 14, “Long-term debt,” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15- "Exhibit and Financial Statement Schedules," Genpact Luxembourg issued the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes, and Genpact Luxembourg and Genpact USA co-issued the 2021 Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance for each of the 2017 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes and the 2021 Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") was $349.9 million, $398.3 million and $347.4 million, respectively. Each series of Senior Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes are also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Genpact USA. Our other subsidiaries do not guarantee the Senior Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the “non-Guarantors”).

The Company (with respect to all series of Senior Notes) and Genpact USA (with respect to the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed (i) that the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at stated maturity of the Senior Notes, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and that the payment of interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Senior Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the applicable issuer or issuers of the Senior Notes, respectively, to the holders of the Senior Notes or the trustee under the Senior Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Senior Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. With respect to the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes, failing payment by Genpact Luxembourg when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Company and Genpact USA shall be obligated to pay the same immediately. With respect to the 2021 Senior Notes, failing payment by Genpact Luxembourg or Genpact USA when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Company shall be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Company and Genpact USA have agreed that the guarantees described above are guarantees of payment of the Senior Notes and not guarantees of collection.

The following tables present summarized financial information for Genpact Luxembourg, Genpact USA and the Company (collectively, the “Debt Issuers and Guarantors”) on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Debt Issuers and Guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in the non-Guarantors.

The Senior Notes and the related guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with all senior and unsecured debt of the Issuer and the Guarantor and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Guarantor’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), including the liabilities of certain subsidiaries pursuant to our senior credit facility. The non-Guarantors are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due under the Senior Notes or to make the funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payment. If the Issuer or the Guarantor have any right to receive any assets of any of the non-Guarantors upon the insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of any non-Guarantor, all of that non-Guarantor’s creditors (including trade creditors) would be entitled to payment in full out of that non-Guarantor’s assets before the holders of the Senior Notes would be entitled to any payment. Claims of holders of the Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of certain non-Guarantors pursuant to their liabilities under our senior credit facility.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign currency risk

Our exposure to market risk arises principally from exchange rate risk. A substantial portion of our revenues (76% in fiscal 2021) is received in U.S. dollars. We also receive revenues in Japanese yen, euros, U.K. pounds sterling, Australian dollars and Indian rupees. Our expenses are primarily in Indian rupees and we also incur expenses in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds sterling, Romanian lei, Chinese renminbi, euros and the currencies of the other countries in which we have operations. Our exchange rate risk arises from our foreign currency revenues, expenses, receivables and payables. Based on the results of our European operations for fiscal 2021, and excluding any hedging arrangements that we had in place during that period, a 10.0% appreciation or depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased, as applicable, our revenues in fiscal 2021 by $12.0 million. Similarly, excluding any hedging arrangements that we had in place during that period, a 10.0% depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar would have decreased our expenses incurred and paid in Indian rupees in fiscal 2021 by $111.0 million. Conversely, a 10.0% appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar would have increased our expenses incurred and paid in rupees in fiscal 2021 by $91.0 million.

We have sought to reduce the effect of any Indian rupee-U.S. dollar, Indian rupee-Australian dollar, Philippine Peso-U.S. dollar, Chinese renminbi-Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi-U.S dollar, euro-Romanian leu, Mexican peso-U.S. dollar, Hungarian forint-U.S. dollar and certain other local currency exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations by purchasing forward foreign exchange contracts to cover a portion of our expected cash flows and accounts receivable. These instruments typically have maturities of zero to sixty months. We use these instruments as economic hedges and not for speculative purposes, and most of them qualify for hedge accounting under the FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging. Our ability to enter into derivatives that meet our planning objectives is subject to the depth and liquidity of the market for such derivatives. In addition, the laws of China, India, the Philippines and Romania limit the duration and amount of such arrangements. We may not be able to purchase contracts adequate to insulate us from Indian rupee-U.S. dollar, Chinese renminbi-Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi-U.S dollar, Philippine peso-U.S. dollar, and Romanian leu-euro foreign exchange currency risks. In addition, any such contracts may not perform adequately as hedging mechanisms. See Item 7 —“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Foreign exchange gains (losses), net.”

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from interest on our indebtedness. As of December 31, 2021, we had $1,655.9 million of indebtedness, comprised of (a) $560.3 million of indebtedness under our credit facility, comprised of a long-term loan of $561.0 million, net of $0.7 million in unamortized debt issuance expenses, (b) $349.9 million in indebtedness under our 2017 Senior Notes, net of $0.1 million in unamortized bond issuance expenses, (c) $398.3 million in indebtedness under our 2019 Senior Notes, net of $1.7 million in unamortized bond issuance expenses, and (d) $347.4 million in indebtedness under our 2021 Senior Notes, net of $2.6 million in unamortized bond issuance expenses. Interest on indebtedness under our credit facility is variable based on LIBOR, and we are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Borrowings under our credit facility bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR, but in no event less than the floor rate of 0.0% plus an applicable margin. See Item 1A—"Risk Factors"—"We may be unable to service our debt or obtain additional financing on competitive terms.” Based on our indebtedness, a 2% change in interest rates, including the impact on the cost of our interest rate swaps, would have had a $3.4 million impact on our net interest expense in fiscal 2021. Additionally, the interest rates on our Senior Notes are subject to adjustment based on the ratings assigned by Moody’s and S&P to the notes from time to time. A decline in such ratings could result in an increase of up to 2% in the rate of interest on the Senior Notes. For fiscal 2021, such an increase would have had an impact of up to $20.4 million on our net interest expense.

We manage a portion of our interest rate risk related to floating rate indebtedness by entering into interest rate swaps under which we receive floating rate payments based on the greater of LIBOR and the floor rate under our term loan and make payments based on a fixed rate. As of December 31, 2021, we were party to interest rate swaps covering a total notional amount of $460.1 million. Under our swap agreements, the rate that we pay to banks in exchange for LIBOR ranges between 0.38% and 2.65%.

We executed a treasury rate lock agreement for $350 million in connection with future interest payments to be made on the 2021 Senior Notes, and the treasury rate lock agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge. The treasury rate lock agreement was terminated on March 23, 2021, and a deferred gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2021 Senior Notes. The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreement as of December 31, 2021 was $0.7 million.

Credit risk

As of December 31, 2021, we had accounts receivable, including deferred billings, net of allowance for credit losses, of $932.1 million. $74.2 million of this amount was owed by GE, and the balance, or $857.9 million, was owed by Global Clients. No single Global Client owed more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2021.

The financial statements and supplementary data required by this item are listed in Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Genpact’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management and/or our Board of Directors; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, including that it relies on sample-based testing, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future

periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.

During the year 2021, we acquired Hoodoo Digital, LLC, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, Hoodoo Digital, LLC's internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $68,445 thousand (of which $62,816 thousand represents goodwill and intangible assets included within the scope of the assessment) included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of its audit, has issued an attestation report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on page F-4.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Genpact Limited:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genpact Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 01, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Realizability of deferred tax assets of Genpact Luxembourg entities

As discussed in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets of $415,183 thousand, a portion of which pertains to Genpact Luxembourg entities, and a corresponding valuation allowance of $212,192 thousand, a portion of which pertains to Genpact Luxembourg entities. The Company records a valuation allowance for the portion of the deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized. Changes in assumptions regarding estimates of future taxable income could have a significant impact on the realizability of deferred tax assets and the amount of valuation allowance.

F-2

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We identified the evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets of Genpact Luxembourg entities as a critical audit matter. Subjective and complex auditor judgment was required to assess the estimated revenue growth and interest expense used to forecast taxable income, and to evaluate the application of the relevant tax regulations. The audit effort also involved use of tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance process. This included controls related to the determination of estimated revenue growth and interest expense used to forecast taxable income, and the application of relevant tax regulations. We performed a sensitivity analysis over the expected future taxable income for Genpact Luxembourg entities to assess the effect on the realizability of deferred tax assets. To assess the Company’s evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets of Genpact Luxembourg entities and its ability to forecast revenue growth, interest expense, and taxable income, we compared Genpact Luxembourg entities’ previous forecasts to actual results and other projected financial information prepared by the Company. We involved income tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing the Company’s evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets of Genpact Luxembourg entities and application of the relevant tax regulations.

Unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to operations in India

As discussed in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, excluding associated interest and penalties, of $25,651 thousand as of December 31, 2021, which included unrecognized tax benefits relating to operations in India.

We identified the assessment of unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to operations in India as a critical audit matter. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions across the world with a significant portion of the operations being in India. Complex auditor judgment was required in evaluating the Company’s interpretation of tax law in respect of matters relating to operations in India, and its estimate of the resolution of the related tax positions. The audit effort also involved use of tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in evaluating the audit evidence obtained. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit process. This included controls related to the interpretation of tax law and its application in the liability estimation process.

We involved tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

• evaluating the Company’s interpretation of tax law and its potential impact on the unrecognized tax benefits

• inspecting correspondence, assessments, and settlement documents with applicable taxing authorities

• assessing the expiration of statutes of limitations

• performing an assessment of the Company’s tax positions and comparing the results to the Company’s assessment.

We evaluated the Company’s ability to accurately estimate its unrecognized tax benefits by comparing historical unrecognized tax benefits to actual results upon conclusion of tax examinations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Genpact Limited:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Genpact Limited and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 01, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired Hoodoo Digital, LLC during December 31, 2021, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, Hoodoo Digital, LLC’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $68,445 thousand (of which $62,816 thousand represents goodwill and intangible assets within the scope of the assessment) included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Hoodoo Digital, LLC.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F-4

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per share data and share count)

1. Organization

The Company is a global professional services firm that drives digitally-led innovation and runs digitally-enabled intelligent operations for its clients, guided by its experience over time running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 clients. The Company has over 109,600 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 30 countries.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda company, and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use ("ROU") assets, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations for revenue recognition, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable, and management has made assumptions about the possible effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on critical and significant accounting estimates. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Contingent consideration is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value as of each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including goodwill, are assigned to reporting units. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on December 31, based on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. The Company performs an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment of events or circumstances, the Company performs a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the quantitative impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of such goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In addition, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 10 for information and related disclosures.

Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination and developed internally are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss based on their estimated useful lives as follows:


Customer-related intangible assets	1	-	9 years
Marketing-related intangible assets	1	-	8 years
Technology-related intangible assets	2	-	10 years

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized.

In business combinations where the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased exceeds the cost of the acquired business, the Company recognizes the resulting gain under “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company also capitalizes certain software and technology-related development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers when the initial design phase is completed and commercial and technological feasibility has been established. Any development cost incurred before technological feasibility is established is expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed design program or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Capitalized software and technology costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software and technology and (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the project.

Costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers which are under development and not put to use are disclosed under “intangible assets under development.” Advances paid towards the acquisition of intangible assets outstanding as of each balance sheet date are disclosed under “intangible assets under development.”

Capitalized software and technology costs are included in intangible assets under technology-related intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software and technology.

The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets that are being amortized at each reporting period wherever events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization, and the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.

(d) Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one corporation or bank and conducts ongoing evaluations of the creditworthiness of the corporations and banks with which it does business. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The General Electric Company (“GE”) accounted for 16% and 8% of the Company’s receivables as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. GE accounted for 14%, 12% and 9% of the Company’s revenues in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

(e) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced or to be invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for current expected credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses which are adjusted to current market conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

(f) Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from business process management services, including analytics, consulting and related digital solutions and information technology services, which are provided primarily on a time-and-material, transaction or fixed-price basis. The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Revenues from services rendered under time-and-materials and transaction-based contracts are recognized as the services are provided. The Company’s fixed-price contracts include contracts for customization of applications, maintenance and support services. Revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company accrues for revenue and unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.

The Company’s contracts with its customers also include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered or promised to be delivered to the customer or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Revenues relating to such arrangements are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

The Company records deferred revenue attributable to certain process transition activities where such activities do not represent separate performance obligations. Revenues relating to such transition activities are classified under contract liabilities and subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Costs relating to such transition activities are fulfillment costs which are directly related to the contract and result in the generation or enhancement of resources. Such costs are expected to be recoverable under the contract and are therefore classified as contract cost assets and recognized ratably over the estimated expected period of benefit under cost of revenue.

Revenues are reported net of value-added tax, business tax and applicable discounts and allowances. Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from customers have been included as part of revenues.

The Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of products or services. The Company determines whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and is distinct in the context of the contract. If not, the promised products or services are combined and accounted for as a single performance obligation. In the event of a multiple-element revenue arrangement, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Certain contracts may include offerings such as sale of licenses, which may be perpetual or subscription-based. Revenue from distinct perpetual licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from distinct, non-cancellable, subscription-based licenses is recognized at the point in time when the license is transferred to the customer. Revenue from any associated maintenance or ongoing support services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For a combined software license/services performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period that the services are performed.

All incremental and direct costs incurred for acquiring contracts, such as certain sales commissions, are classified as contract cost assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other upfront fees paid to customers are classified as contract assets. Such fees are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. If a payment is received in respect of services prior to the delivery of services, the payment is recognized as an advance from the customer and classified as a contract liability. Contract assets and contract liabilities relating to the same customer contract are offset against each other and presented on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements.

Significant judgements

The Company often enters into contracts with its customers that include promises to transfer multiple products and services to the customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together may require significant judgement.

Judgement is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.

Customer contracts sometimes include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered to the customer or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Such amounts are estimated at contract inception and are adjusted at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

(g) Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on whether: (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the inception of a lease, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component based on its relative standalone price to determine the lease payments.

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of the above criteria.

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability are recognized. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the lease commencement. The lease liabilities are subsequently measured on an amortized cost basis. The lease liability is adjusted to reflect interest on the liability and the lease payments made during the period. Interest on the lease liability is determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The ROU asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ROU asset for each lease initially includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, accrued lease liabilities and any lease incentives received or any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

The ROU asset of finance leases is subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization. The ROU asset of operating leases is subsequently measured from the carrying amount of the lease liability at the end of each reporting period, and is equal to the carrying amount of lease liabilities adjusted for (1) unamortized initial direct costs, (2) prepaid/(accrued) lease payments and (3) the unamortized balance of lease incentives received.

The carrying value of ROU assets is reviewed for impairment, similar to long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases and to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (“short-term leases”).

Significant judgements

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. Under certain of its leases, the Company has a renewal and termination option to lease assets for additional terms between one and ten years. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. The Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal or termination option. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within the Company’s control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew or terminate.

The Company has applied an incremental borrowing rate for the purpose of computing lease liabilities based on the remaining lease term and the rates prevailing in the jurisdictions where leases were executed.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s current and future revenues and operations, the Company recorded restructuring charges related to the abandonment of leased office premises and related assets. See Note 28 for additional information.

(h) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation), recruitment, training and related costs of employees who are directly responsible for the performance of services for customers, their supervisors and certain support personnel who may be dedicated to a particular customer or a set of processes. It also includes operational expenses, which consist of facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses, rent, IT expenses, and consulting and certain other expenses. Consulting charges represent the cost of consultants and contract resources with specialized skills who are directly responsible for the performance of services for clients and travel and other billable costs related to the Company’s clients. It also includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible and ROU assets which are directly related to providing services that generate revenue.

(i) Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of expenses relating to salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation) as well as costs related to recruitment, training and retention of senior management and other support personnel in enabling functions such as human resources, finance, legal, marketing, sales and sales support, and other support personnel. The operational costs component of SG&A expenses also includes travel and living costs for such personnel. SG&A expenses also include acquisition-related costs, legal and professional fees (which represent the costs of third party legal, tax, accounting and other advisors), investment in research and development, digital technology, advanced automation and robotics, and an allowance for credit losses. It also includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangibles and ROU assets other than those included in cost of revenue.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

(j) Credit losses

An allowance for credit losses is recognized for all debt instruments other than those held at fair value through profit or loss. The Company pools its accounts receivable (other than deferred billings) based on similar risk characteristics in estimating expected credit losses. Credit losses for accounts receivable are based on the roll-rate method, and the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors and the economic environment. The Company believes the most relevant forward-looking factors are economic environment, gross domestic product, inflation rates and unemployment rates for each of the countries in which the Company or its customers operate, and accordingly the Company adjusts historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. At every reporting date, observed historical default rates are updated to reflect changes in the Company’s forward-looking estimates.

Credit losses for other financial assets and deferred billings are based on the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. Under the DCF method, the allowance for credit losses reflects the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. The expected cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Such allowances are based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset which includes consideration of prepayments based on the Company’s expectation as of the balance sheet date.

A financial asset is written off when it is deemed uncollectible and there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate amounts previously written off, are included in determining the allowance at each reporting period.

Credit losses are presented as a credit loss expense within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

(k) Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the classification used in the current period. The impact of such reclassifications on the consolidated financial statements is not material.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

(m) Short-term investments

All liquid investments with an original maturity greater than three months but less than one year are considered to be short-term investments. Marketable short-term investments are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined based on the specific identification method and are included in “Other income (expense), net.” The Company does not hold these investments for speculative purposes.

(n) Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Expenditures for replacements and improvements are capitalized, whereas the costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The Company depreciates and amortizes all property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the following estimated economic useful lives of the assets:


	Years
Buildings	40
Furniture and fixtures	4
Computer equipment and servers	4
Plant, machinery and equipment	4
Computer software	4	-	7
Leasehold improvements	Lease period or 10 years, whichever is less
Vehicles	3	-	4

The Company capitalizes certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining computer software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software project, and (iii) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use computer software.

Capitalized computer software costs are included in property, plant and equipment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software.

Advances paid towards acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each balance sheet date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not put to use before such date are disclosed under “Capital work in progress.”

(o) Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such assets are required to be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the assets. The impairment amount to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. The Company determines fair value by using a discounted cash flow approach.

(p) Foreign currency

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars, the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries organized in Europe, other than the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and one subsidiary in Poland, is the euro, and the functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in Brazil, China, Colombia, Guatemala, India, Israel, Japan, Morocco, South Africa, the Philippines, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and Canada are their respective local currencies. The functional currency of all other Company subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The translation of the functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using a monthly average exchange rate prevailing during the respective period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported as currency translation adjustments under other comprehensive income (loss), net, under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity.

Monetary assets and liabilities of each subsidiary denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated into their respective functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Transactions of each subsidiary in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated into the respective functional currencies at the average monthly exchange rate prevailing during the period of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income.

(q) Derivative instruments and hedging activities

In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate fluctuation. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany transactions and forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate fluctuation risk on its indebtedness.

The Company recognizes derivative instruments and hedging activities as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets and measures them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the consolidated statements of income along with the underlying hedged item and disclosed as part of “Total net revenues,” “Cost of revenue,” “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” and “Interest expense,” as applicable. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portion of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and are included in foreign exchange gains (losses), net, and other income (expense), net, respectively.

With respect to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative or portion thereof is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will prospectively discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative instrument.

In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative is retained, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent change in its fair value in the consolidated statements of income. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately, in foreign exchange gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of income, the gains and losses attributable to such derivative that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss).

(r) Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and for all operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company applies a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring the benefit of tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining, based on the technical merits, that the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company includes interest and penalties related to an underpayment of income taxes within income tax expense.

The Company follows the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) upon recognition of these AOCI items in the consolidated statement of income.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

(s) Employee benefit plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of income in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences dependent on whether the obligation is attributable to employee services already rendered, relates to rights that vest or accumulate and payment is probable and estimable.

The service cost is recognized under “cost of revenue” and “selling, general and administrative expenses,” depending on the functional area of the underlying employees included in the plans, and the non-operating components of net benefit plan costs are included within “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return on plan assets, future compensation increases and attrition rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.

(t) Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees. The plan is accounted for using the fair value measurement approach. Plan earnings are calculated by reference to actual earnings of the funds chosen by individual participants. In connection with the administration of this plan, the Company has purchased Company-owned life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain employees, held under a Rabbi Trust. The Company consolidates the invested assets of the trust. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains or losses on the plan’s assets and changes in the fair value of deferred compensation liabilities are included in “other income (expense), net,” and “selling, general and administrative expenses,” respectively, in the consolidated statements of income.

(u) Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes and measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value. For option awards, grant date fair value is determined under the option-pricing model (Black-Scholes-Merton model) and for stock based awards other than option awards, grant date fair value is determined on the basis of the fair market value of a Company common share on the date of grant of such awards. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the stock-based awards. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. As a result, the expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from such estimates.

(v) Government incentives

The Company recognizes incentives in the consolidated statements of income under “other income (expense), net.” Incentives are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when there is probable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions for their receipt and a reasonable expectation that the funds will be received. In certain circumstances, the receipt of an incentive may not be subject to any condition or requirement to incur further costs, in which case the incentive is recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the period in which it becomes receivable. In the event that it becomes likely that the Company will be required to repay an incentive that has already been recognized, the Company makes a provision for the estimated liability.

(w) Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used for stock-based awards except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

(x) Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with such liabilities are expensed as incurred.

(y) Debt restructuring

The Company accounts for any restructuring of its credit facility using the ten percent cash flow test in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. If the cash flow effect of the change in terms on a present-value basis is less than ten percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different, and are accounted for as a modification. If the change is more than ten percent, it is treated as an extinguishment. In performing the cash flow test, the Company includes all amounts paid to its lenders in connection with the restructuring but excludes third party expenses. In the case of a modification, all new fees paid to lenders are capitalized and amortized as part of the existing effective yield and any new fees paid to third parties are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses. No gain or loss is recorded in the case of a modification. In the case of an extinguishment, all new fees paid to lenders are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses and any new fees paid to third parties are capitalized and amortized as a debt issuance cost. The old debt is derecognized and the new debt is recorded at fair value and a gain or loss is recorded for the difference between the net carrying value of the original debt and the fair value of the new debt.

(z) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The authoritative bodies release standards and guidance which are assessed by management for impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has adopted the following recently released accounting standards:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.” The ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held by the Company. The ASU requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets ranging from short-term trade accounts receivable to long-term financings. The ASU became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The ASU provides final guidance that allows entities to make an irrevocable one-time election upon adoption of the new credit losses standard to measure financial assets at amortized cost (except held-to-maturity securities) using the fair value option. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” This ASU clarifies that the scope of the guidance related to expected recoveries extends to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-11 are effective on the same date as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020 and interim periods therein.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11 beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed the impact of these ASUs and concluded that they do not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.” The ASU provides additional guidance on the recognition of credit losses and addresses partial-term fair value hedges, fair value hedge basis adjustments and certain transition requirements, among other things. The ASU also addresses the scope of the guidance on the requirement for re-measurement under ASC 820 when using the measurement alternative, certain disclosure requirements and which foreign currency-denominated equity securities must be re-measured at historical exchange rates. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-09, “Codification Improvements to Topic 470, Debt— Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762.” The SEC in its Release No. 33-10762 in March 2020 has adopted new rules on financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities and affiliates whose securities collateralize issuers’ securities. This ASU revises certain SEC paragraphs of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to reflect, as appropriate, the amended financial statement disclosure requirements in SEC Release 33-10762. The amended rules are effective January 4, 2021 but early compliance is permitted. The Company adopted the amended rules issued by the SEC in its Release No. 33-10762 in the first quarter of 2020. Accordingly, the Company has already adopted the amendments under this ASU and the disclosures related to guarantor financial information has been omitted from the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and included as part of Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The following recently released accounting standards have not yet been adopted by the Company:

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, “Government Assistance.” This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions with governments. The ASU is effective for the Company for annual periods, beginning December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combination.” This ASU requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination and improve comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts at the date of and after a business combination and revenue contracts not acquired in a business combination. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.

3. Business acquisitions

(a) Hoodoo Digital, LLC

On December 31, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in Hoodoo Digital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, for total purchase consideration of $66,592. This amount represents cash consideration of $64,310, net of cash acquired of $2,283. The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the closing date was $67,695, resulting in a recoverable of $1,102 as of December 31, 2021.

3. Business acquisitions (Continued)

On October 5, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in SomethingDigital.Com LLC, a New York limited liability company, for total purchase consideration of $57,451. This amount represents cash consideration of $56,073, net of cash acquired of $1,378. The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the closing date was $57,704, resulting in a recoverable of $253, which was received in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

This acquisition supported the Company’s strategy to integrate experience and process innovation to help clients on their digital transformation journeys and expanded on the Company’s existing experience capabilities to support end-to-end digital commerce solutions, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer. Additionally, this acquisition expanded the Company’s capabilities into Magento Commerce, which powers Adobe Commerce Cloud, and Shopify Plus, a cloud-based e-commerce platform for high volume merchants.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $11,900 in customer-related intangibles and $3,500 in marketing-related intangibles which have a weighted average amortization period of four years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $36,926 has been allocated using a relative fair value allocation method to two of the Company’s reporting segments as follows: to the CGRLH segment in the amount of $30,373 and to the HMS segment in the amount of $6,553. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $35,084 is deductible for income tax purposes.

The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with those of the Company’s existing operations.

Acquisition-related costs of $1,060 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $9,538, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $4,494 and recognized a net deferred tax asset of $81. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

(d) Rightpoint Consulting, LLC

On November 12, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in Rightpoint Consulting, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and certain affiliated entities in the United States and India (collectively referred to as “Rightpoint”) for total purchase consideration of $270,669. This amount includes cash consideration of $268,170, net of cash acquired of $2,499. The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the closing date was $248,470, resulting in a payable of $22,199. $5,406 of the total purchase consideration remains payable as of December 31, 2021. This acquisition expanded the Company’s capabilities in improving customer experience.

The securities purchase agreement between the Company and the selling equity holders of Rightpoint provided certain of the selling equity holders the option to elect to either (a) receive 100% consideration in cash at the closing date for their limited liability company interests and vested options or (b) “roll over” and retain 25% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options for a three-year rollover period and receive cash consideration at closing for the remaining 75% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options. Certain selling equity holders elected to receive deferred, variable earn-out consideration with an estimated value of $21,500 over the rollover period of three years.

The amount of deferred earn-out consideration ultimately payable by the Company to the selling equity holders of Rightpoint will be based on the future revenue multiple of the acquired business. Additionally, under the purchase agreement the selling equity holders are obligated to sell their rollover interests to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has obtained control over 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests of Rightpoint as of as of November 12, 2019. See Note 6, “Fair value measurements,” for additional details.

7. Derivative financial instruments

The Company is exposed to the risk of rate fluctuations on its foreign currency assets and liabilities and on foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rates. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments are largely deliverable and non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts, treasury rate locks and interest rate swaps. The Company enters into these contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material. The forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps mature during a period of up to 48 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same periods.

The following table presents the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding derivative financial instruments together with the related balance sheet exposure:


	Notional principal amounts (note a)				Balance sheet exposure asset (liability) (note b)

7. Derivative financial instruments (Continued)

(a)Notional amounts are key elements of derivative financial instrument agreements but do not represent the amount exchanged by counterparties and do not measure the Company’s exposure to credit, foreign exchange, interest rate or other market risks. However, the amounts exchanged are based on the notional amounts and other provisions of the underlying derivative financial instrument agreements. Notional amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars.

(b)Balance sheet exposure is denominated in U.S. dollars and denotes the mark-to-market impact of the derivative financial instruments on the reporting date.

FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with the FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging, the Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to cover the effects of future exchange rate variability on forecasted revenue and purchases of services, and interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks are entered into to cover interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition to this program, the Company uses derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges under the FASB guidance in order to hedge foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments and their location in the Company’s financial statements are summarized in the table below:


	Cash flow hedges				Non-designated
	As of December 31, 2020		As of December 31, 2021		As of December 31, 2020		As of December 31, 2021

Other liabilities	$	16,886	$	2,756	$	3,923	$	—

Cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain (loss) on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Gains (losses) on the derivatives, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings as incurred.

The Company executed a treasury rate lock agreement for $350,000 in connection with future interest payments to be made on its senior notes issued by Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Genpact Luxembourg”) and Genpact USA, Inc. (“Genpact USA”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, in March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”), and the treasury rate lock was designated as a cash flow hedge. The treasury rate lock agreement was terminated on March 23, 2021 and a deferred gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2021 Senior Notes. The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreement as of December 31, 2021 was $692.

7. Derivative financial instruments (Continued)

a)These forward foreign exchange contracts were entered into to hedge fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for recognized balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, and were not originally designated as hedges under FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging. Realized gains (losses) and changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of income.

b)These forward foreign exchange contracts were initially designated as cash flow hedges under ASC guidance on derivatives and hedging. These contracts were terminated because certain forecasted transactions were no longer expected to occur and therefore hedge accounting was no longer applied. Subsequently, the realized gains (losses) are recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses) net in the consolidated statements of income.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has reevaluated its hedging arrangements. The Company has considered the effect of changes, if any, in both counterparty credit risk and the Company’s own non-performance risk while assessing hedge effectiveness and measuring hedge ineffectiveness. The Company believes that its hedges continue to be effective after taking into account the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s hedged transactions.

The Company has employee benefit plans in the form of certain statutory and other programs covering its employees.

Defined benefit plans

In accordance with Indian law, the Company provides a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering substantially all of its Indian employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees upon retirement or termination of employment in an amount based on each employee’s salary and duration of employment with the Company.

Trustees administer contributions made to the trust, and contributions are invested in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The Company’s overall investment strategy is to invest predominantly in fixed income funds managed by asset management companies and a small portion in equity funds. These funds further invest in debt securities such as money market instruments, government securities and public and private bonds. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, all of the plan assets were primarily invested in debt securities.

In addition, in accordance with Mexican law, the Company provides certain termination benefits (the “Mexican Plan”) to all of its Mexican employees based on the age, duration of service and salary of each eligible employee.

In addition, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries organized or operating in the Philippines and Japan have sponsored defined benefit retirement programs (respectively, the “Philippines Plan” and the “Japan Plan”).

In addition, in accordance with Israeli law, the Company provides certain termination benefits (the “Israeli Plan”) to all of its Israeli employees based on the age, duration of service and salary of each eligible employee. The full-year benefit cost of the Israeli Plan is calculated on an actuarial basis. The plan contributions are further invested into insurer managed funds.

Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the year to which they relate on a monthly basis.

The expected returns on plan assets set forth above are based on the Company’s expectation of the average long-term rate of return expected to prevail over the next 15 to 20 years on the types of investments prescribed by applicable statute.

The Company evaluates these assumptions based on projections of the Company’s long-term growth and prevalent industry standards. Unrecognized actuarial loss is amortized over the average remaining service period of the active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

Investment and risk management strategy

The overall investment objective of the Company’s defined benefit plans is to match the duration of the plans’ assets to the plans’ liabilities while managing risk in order to meet defined benefit obligations. The plans’ future prospects, their current financial conditions, our current funding levels and other relevant factors suggest that the plans can tolerate some interim fluctuations in market value and rates of return in order to achieve long-term objectives without undue risk to the plans’ ability to meet their current benefit obligations.

Plan investments are exposed to risks including market, interest rate and operating risk. In order to mitigate significant concentrations of these risks, the assets are invested in a diversified portfolio primarily consisting of fixed income instruments, liquid assets, equities and debt.

Deferred compensation plan

On July 1, 2018, Genpact LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, adopted an executive deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides a select group of U.S.-based members of Company management with the opportunity to defer from 1% to 80% of their base salary and from 1% to 100% of their qualifying bonus compensation (or such other minimums or maximums as determined by the Plan administrator from time to time) pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Participant deferrals are 100% vested at all times. The Plan also allows for discretionary supplemental employer contributions by the Company, in its sole discretion, which will be subject to a two-year vesting schedule (50% vesting on the one-year anniversary of approval of the contribution and 50% vesting on the second year anniversary of approval of the contribution) or such other vesting schedule as determined by the Company. However, no such contributions have been made by the Company to date.

The Plan also provides an option for participants to elect to receive deferred compensation and earnings thereon on either fixed date(s) no earlier than two years following the applicable Plan year (or end of the applicable performance period for performance-based bonus compensation) or following a separation from service, in each case either in a lump sum or in annual installments over a term of up to 15 years. Each Plan participant’s compensation deferrals and discretionary supplemental employer contributions (if any) are credited or debited with notional investment gains and losses equal to the performance of selected hypothetical investment funds offered under the Plan and elected by the participant.

The Company has investments in funds held in Company-owned life insurance policies which are held in a Rabbi Trust that are classified as trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date.

The liability for the deferred compensation plan was $26,390 and $38,007 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company has purchased company-owned life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain employees. The cash surrender value of these policies was $26,832 and $38,584 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the change in the fair value of Plan assets was $1,296, $4,164 and $4,229, respectively, which is included in “other income (expense), net,” in the consolidated statements of income. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the change in the fair value of deferred compensation liabilities was $1,062, $4,120 and $4,094, respectively, which is included in “selling, general and administrative expenses.”

18. Stock-based compensation

The Company has granted stock-based awards under the Genpact Limited 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Omnibus Plan”) and the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Plan”) to eligible persons, including employees, directors and certain other persons associated with the Company.

A brief summary of each plan is provided below:

2007 Omnibus Plan

The Company adopted the 2007 Omnibus Plan on July 13, 2007 and amended and restated it on April 11, 2012. The 2007 Omnibus Plan provided for the grant of awards intended to qualify as incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share units, performance units, cash incentive awards and other equity-based or equity-related awards. Under the 2007 Omnibus Plan, the Company was authorized to grant awards for the issuance of up to a total of 23,858,823 common shares.

2017 Omnibus Plan

On May 9, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan, pursuant to which 15,000,000 Company common shares are available for issuance. The 2017 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 5, 2019 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 8,000,000 shares to 23,000,000 shares. No grants may be made under the 2007 Omnibus Plan after the date of adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan. Grants that were outstanding under the 2007 Omnibus Plan as of the Company’s adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan, remain subject to the terms of the 2007 Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation costs relating to the foregoing plans during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, were $82,802, $72,709 and $80,548, respectively, and have been allocated to cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Income tax benefits recognized in relation to stock-based compensation costs, including options, RSUs and PUs, including excess tax benefits, during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were $18,921, $21,832 and $21,857, respectively.

Stock options

All options granted under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans are exercisable into common shares of the Company, have a contractual period of ten years and vest over three to five years unless otherwise specified in the applicable award agreement. The Company recognizes such compensation cost over the vesting period of the option.

The compensation cost is determined at the date of grant by estimating the fair value of an option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The following table shows the significant assumptions used in connection with the determination of the fair value of options granted in 2019, 2020 and 2021:


	2019			2020	2021
Dividend yield	0.82%	—	1.08%	0.89%	0.84%	—	1.08%
Expected life (in months)	84			84	84
Risk-free rate of interest for expected life	1.56%	—	2.63%	1.50%	1.12%	—	1.37%
Volatility	21.00%	—	21.38%	20.96%	26.05%	—	26.18%

Volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price during a period equivalent to the estimated term of the option. The Company estimates the expected term of an option using the “simplified method,” which is based on the average of its contractual vesting term. The risk-free interest rate that the Company uses in the option valuation model is based on U.S. Treasury bonds with a term similar to the expected term of the options. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.0975 and $0.1075 per share in each quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The Company has issued, and intends to continue to issue, new common shares upon stock option exercises and the vesting of share awards under its equity-based incentive compensation plans.

The Company also grants stock awards in the form of performance units, or PUs, and has granted PUs under both the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans.

Each PU represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on the Company’s performance against specified targets. PUs granted to date have vesting schedules of six months to three years. The fair value of each PU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of grant and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. PUs granted under the plan are subject to cliff vesting. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. During the performance period, the Company’s estimate of the number of shares to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Genpact Limited U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Genpact Limited International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together, the “ESPP”). In April 2018, these plans were amended and restated, and their terms were extended to August 31, 2028.

The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase the Company’s common shares through payroll deductions at 90% of the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the last business day of each purchase interval. The dollar amount of common shares purchased under the ESPP must not exceed 15% of the participating employee’s base salary, subject to a cap of $25 per employee per calendar year. With effect from September 1, 2009, the offering periods commence on the first business day in March, June, September and December of each year and end on the last business day of the subsequent May, August, November and February. 4,200,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance in the aggregate over the term of the ESPP.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, 264,440, 315,245 and 285,657 common shares, respectively, were issued under the ESPP.

The ESPP is considered compensatory under FASB guidance on Compensation-Stock Compensation.

18. Stock-based compensation (Continued)

The compensation expense for the ESPP is recognized in accordance with the FASB guidance on Compensation—Stock Compensation. The compensation expense for the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was $1,083, $1,299 and $1,420, respectively, and has been allocated to cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

19. Capital stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 consisted of 500 million common shares with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 250 million preferred shares with a par value of $0.01 per share. There were 189,045,661 and 185,336,357 common shares, and no preferred shares, issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, common shareholders are entitled to receive a ratable share of the available net assets of the Company after payment of all debts and other liabilities. The common shares have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

The Company’s board of directors by resolution can establish one or more series of preferred shares having such par value, designations, dividend rates, relative voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights, liquidation rights and other relative participation, optional or other rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be fixed by the board of directors without shareholder approval. Such rights, preferences, powers and limitations as may be established could also have the effect of discouraging an attempt to obtain control of the Company. These preferred shares are of the type commonly known as “blank-check” preferred shares.

Under Bermuda law, the Company may declare and pay dividends from time to time unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is or would, after the payment, be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or that the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities, its issued share capital, and its share premium accounts. Under the Company’s bye-laws, each common share is entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends are declared by the Company’s board of directors. There are no restrictions in Bermuda on the Company’s ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in or out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of common shares. The Company’s ability to declare and pay cash dividends is restricted by its debt covenants.

Share Repurchases

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has authorized repurchases of up to $1,750,000 under the Company’s existing share repurchase program. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be purchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Company repurchased 766,154, 3,412,293 and 6,577,562 of its common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $39.16, $40.16 and $45.32 per share, respectively, for an aggregate cash amount of $30,000, $137,044 and $298,087, respectively. All repurchased shares have been retired.

The Company records repurchases of its common shares on the settlement date of each transaction. Shares purchased and retired are deducted to the extent of their par value from common stock and from retained earnings for the excess over par value. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares purchased. For the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, $15, $68 and $132, respectively, was deducted from retained earnings in direct costs related to share repurchases.

$338,911 remained available for share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program as of December 31, 2021. This repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and does not specify an expiration date.

20. Earnings per share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB guidance on earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share give effect to the change in the number of Company common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. The potentially dilutive shares, consisting of outstanding options on common shares, restricted share units, common shares to be issued under the ESPP and performance units, have been included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share and the number of weighted average shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.

The number of stock awards outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive is 1,809,069, 1,182,572 and 1,663,219 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

23. Income taxes (Continued)

A portion of the profits of the Company’s operations is exempt from income tax in India. One of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries has certain units eligible for a tax holiday as a special economic zone ("SEZ") unit in respect of 100% of the export profits it generates for a period of 5 years from commencement, 50% of such profits for the next 5 years (year 6 to year 10 from commencement) and 50% of the profits for an additional period of 5 years (year 11 to year 15 from commencement), subject to the satisfaction of certain capital investment requirements.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Indian taxing authorities introduced a new tax regime under which a company can elect to pay taxes at a lower tax rate by foregoing certain deductions and exemptions, including SEZ exemptions. The Company has elected to forego applicable Indian tax holidays in order to benefit from the reduced tax rate under the new tax regime after March 31, 2021.

The effect of the Indian tax holiday on both basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.11, $0.08 and $0.02, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company undertook an internal restructuring that involved the transfer of certain marketing intangibles between its Luxembourg subsidiaries for a total of $650,000. The Company had net operating loss carry forwards with a full valuation allowance from prior years that were used to offset the Luxembourg taxable income arising from such transfer. The tax benefits resulting from the step-up of the tax basis of the intangibles transferred are not expected to be realized and a full valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the deferred tax balances. Accordingly, this internal restructuring did not have any impact on the Company’s income tax expense.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible.

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected taxable income in making this assessment. In order to fully realize a deferred tax asset, the Company must generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax asset under applicable law. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods during which the Company’s deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its deductible differences and carry forwards, net of the existing valuation allowances as of December 31, 2021. The amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Company recognized net excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $2,743, $7,310 and $7,773, respectively, in income tax expense attributable to continuing operations.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carry forwards of $145,525 amounted to $34,459 (excluding state net operating losses). Net operating losses of subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Israel, Hong Kong, Germany, Austria, the United States and Luxembourg (for 2016 and prior years) amounted to $47,025 and can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had additional deferred tax assets for U.S. state and local tax loss carry forwards amounting to $3,134 with varying expiration periods, most of which are between 2022 and 2040.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a total foreign tax credit carry forward of $15,724 for subsidiaries in the United States and India which will expire as set forth in the table below:

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign (non-Bermuda) subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not been recognized due to being indefinitely reinvested amounted to approximately $622,521 as of December 31, 2021. The Company plans to indefinitely reinvest its undistributed earnings, except for those earnings for which a deferred tax liability has already been accrued or which can be repatriated in a tax-free manner. Accordingly, with limited exceptions, the Company does not accrue any income, distribution or withholding taxes that would arise if such earnings were repatriated. Due to the Company’s changing corporate structure, the various methods that are available to repatriate earnings, and uncertainty relative to the applicable taxes at the time of repatriation, it is not practicable to determine the amount of tax that would be imposed upon repatriation. If undistributed earnings are repatriated in the future, or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, the Company will accrue the applicable amount of taxes associated with such earnings at that time.

23. Income taxes (Continued)

As of December 31, 2021, $875,924 of the Company’s $899,458 in cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company’s foreign (non-Bermuda) subsidiaries. $3,481 of this cash is held by foreign subsidiaries for which the Company expects to incur and has accrued a deferred tax liability on the repatriation of $9,628 of retained earnings. $872,443 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is either held as retained earnings by foreign subsidiaries in jurisdictions where no tax is expected to be imposed upon repatriation or is being indefinitely reinvested.

The Company reports its gain/loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, actuarial gain/loss on retirement benefits and currency translation adjustment, net of income taxes to the extent applicable, in OCI.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held by the Company. In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company adopted this ASU, effective January 1, 2020, and accordingly recorded deferred tax assets of $935 through retained earnings.

The following table summarizes activities related to our unrecognized tax benefits from January 1 to December 31 for each of 2020 and 2021:


	2020		2021
Opening Balance at January 1	$	31,029	$	34,300
Increase related to prior year tax positions, including recorded in acquisition accounting	2,875		2,992
Decrease related to prior year tax positions	(1,309)		(455)
Decrease related to prior year tax positions due to lapse of applicable statute of limitation	(287)		(455)
Increase related to current year tax positions, including recorded in acquisition accounting	2,454		1,385
Decrease related to settlements with taxing authorities	(317)		(11,170)
Effect of exchange rate changes	(145)		(946)
Closing Balance at December 31	$	34,300	$	25,651

As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $34,300 and $25,651, respectively, which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company had accrued $6,369 and $2,842, respectively, in interest and $900 and $628, respectively, for penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Company recognized $826, $662 and $(13,851), respectively, in interest related to income taxes.

In the next twelve months and for all tax years that remain open to examinations by U.S. federal and various state, local, and other U.S. taxing authorities, the Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its unrecognized tax benefits will vary. However, the Company does not expect significant changes within the next twelve months other than depending on the progress of tax matters or examinations with various taxing authorities, which are difficult to predict.

With certain immaterial exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or other U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2017. The Company’s subsidiaries in India and China are open to examination by relevant taxing authorities for tax years beginning on or after April 1, 2012 and January 1, 2011, respectively. The Company regularly reviews the likelihood of additional tax assessments and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits as additional information or events require.

24. Segment reporting

The Company manages various types of business process and information technology services in an integrated manner for clients in various industries and geographic locations.

24. Segment reporting (Continued)

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the CODM, reviews operating segment revenue, which is a GAAP measure, and operating segment adjusted income from operations, which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company does not allocate and therefore the CODM does not evaluate foreign exchange gain/(losses), interest income/(expense), restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses, stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and income taxes by segment. The Company’s operating assets and liabilities pertain to multiple segments. The Company manages assets and liabilities on a total Company basis, not by operating segment, and therefore information about assets, liabilities and capital expenditures by operating segment are not presented to the CODM and are not reviewed by the CODM.

Revenues and adjusted income from operations for each of the Company’s segments for the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:


	Reportable segments

All revenue from GE is included in revenue from the HMS segment, and the remainder of revenue from the HMS segment consists of revenue from Global Clients. All of the segment revenue from both the BCMI and CGRLH segments consists of revenue from Global Clients. Refer to Note 24 for details on net revenues attributable to each of the Company’s segments.

The Company has evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 to ensure that revenue is recognized after considering all impacts to the extent currently known. Impacts observed include constraints on the Company’s ability to render services, whether due to full or partial shutdowns of the Company’s facilities or travel restrictions, penalties relating to breaches of service level agreements, and contract terminations or contract performance delays initiated by clients. The Company’s net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were lower than expected before the onset of the pandemic, primarily due to delays in obtaining client approvals to shift to a virtual, work-from-home operating environment, whether as a result of regulatory constraints or due to privacy or security concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on the Company’s net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Company will continue to monitor developments to identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in future periods.

25. Net revenues (Continued)

Contract balances

Accounts receivable include amounts for services that the Company has performed but for which payment has not been received. The Company typically follows a 30-day billing cycle and, as such, at any point in time may have accrued up to 30 days of revenues that have not been billed. The Company has determined that in instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the related contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. See Note 5 for details on the Company’s accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses and Note 11 for deferred billings.

The following table provides details of the Company’s contract balances:


	As of December 31,
	2020		2021
Contract assets (Note a)	$	15,805	$	13,741
Contract liabilities (Note b)
Deferred transition revenue	$	130,804	$	155,077
Advance from customers	$	92,673	$	85,747

(a) Included in "prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "other assets" in the consolidated balance sheet.

(b) Included in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet.

Contract assets represent the contract acquisition fees or other upfront fees paid to a customer. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue. The Company’s assessment did not indicate any significant impairment losses on its contract assets for the periods presented.

Contract liabilities include that portion of revenue for which payments have been received in advance from customers. The Company also defers revenues attributable to certain process transition activities for which costs have been capitalized by the Company as contract fulfillment costs. Consideration received from customers, if any, relating to such transition activities is also included as part of contract liabilities. The contract liabilities are included within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. The revenues are recognized as (or when) the performance obligation is fulfilled pursuant to the contract with the customer.

Changes in the Company’s contract asset and liability balances during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 were a result of normal business activity and not materially impacted by any other factors.

Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period was $102,893 and $141,774, respectively.

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2021:

27. Commitments and contingencies

Capital commitments

As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company has committed to spend $5,128 and $13,317, respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of such purchases.

Bank guarantees

The Company has outstanding bank guarantees and letters of credit amounting to $10,156 and $7,865 as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Bank guarantees are generally provided to government agencies and excise and customs authorities for the purposes of maintaining a bonded warehouse. These guarantees may be revoked by the government agencies if they suffer any losses or damages through the breach of any of the covenants contained in the agreements governing such guarantees.

Other commitments

Certain units of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries are established as Software Technology Parks of India units or Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) units under the relevant regulations issued by the Government of India. These units are exempt from customs and other duties on imported and indigenous capital goods, stores and spares. SEZ units are also exempt from the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) that was introduced in India in 2017. The Company has undertaken to pay taxes and duties, if any, in respect of capital goods, stores, spares and services consumed duty-free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled.

Contingency

In February 2019, there was a judicial pronouncement in India with respect to defined contribution benefit payments interpreting certain statutory defined contribution obligations of employees and employers. It is not currently clear whether the interpretation set out in the pronouncement has retrospective application. If applied retrospectively, the interpretation would result in an increase in contributions payable by the Company for past periods for certain of its India-based employees. There are numerous interpretative challenges concerning the retrospective application of the judgment. Due to such challenges and a lack of interpretive guidance, and based on legal advice the Company has obtained on the matter, it is currently impracticable to reliably estimate the timing and amount of any payments the Company may be required to make. Accordingly, the Company plans to obtain further clarity and will evaluate the amount of a potential provision, if any.

27. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)

The Indian taxing authorities (“ITA”) have initiated proceedings to examine the availability of a tax exemption claimed by the Company in respect of exports of services and related refunds under the Indian Goods and Services (“GST”) tax regime and the previous service tax regime. In the second quarter of 2020, ITA began to challenge or reject the Company’s Indian GST and service tax refunds in certain states. In total, refunds of $25,069 have been denied or challenged by the ITA and additional refunds may be denied. The Company is pursuing appeals before relevant appellate authorities.

The Company had requested these refunds pursuant to the tax exemption available for exports under the previous service tax regime as well as the current GST regime in respect of services performed by the Company in India for affiliates and clients outside of India. In denying the refunds, the ITA have taken the position that the services provided are local services, which interpretation, if correct, would make the service tax and GST exemption on exports unavailable to the Company in respect of such services. Additional potentially material challenges and assessments may result from ongoing proceedings related to service tax recovery.

The Company believes that the denial of the refunds claimed pursuant to the service tax and GST exemption is incorrect and that the risk that the liability will materialize is remote. The Government of India has recently issued an administrative circular which supports the Company’s position, and the Company believes that the appellate authorities will reverse the previous orders denying refunds owed to the Company. Accordingly, no reserve has been provided as of December 31, 2021.

An affiliate of the Company in India received an assessment order in 2016 seeking to assess tax amounting to $110,142 (including interest to the date of the order) on certain transactions that occurred in 2013. This amount excludes penalty or interest accrued since the date of the order. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal of India (the “Tribunal”) has accepted the legal arguments raised by the Company in appeal and the assessment order has been cancelled. Taxes paid under protest have been refunded along with interest to the Company. The Indian tax authorities may appeal the order of the Tribunal before higher court. Based on its evaluation of the facts underlying the transaction and legal advice received, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that this transaction would not be subject to tax liability in India. Accordingly, no reserve has been provided as of December 31, 2021.

In September 2020, the Indian Parliament approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 (the “Code”), which will impact the Company’s contributions to its defined contribution and defined benefit plans for employees based in India. The date the changes will take effect is not yet known and the rules for quantifying the financial impact have not yet been published. The Company will evaluate the impact of the Code on the Company in its financial statements for the period in which the Code becomes effective and the related rules are published.

28. Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s current and expected future revenues, the Company recorded a $21,658 restructuring charge primarily relating to the abandonment of leased office premises and employee severance charges. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an additional charge of $4,889 relating to employee severance charges.

Of the total recorded restructuring charges of $26,547, $11,152 was a non-cash charge (including $908 related to writing down certain property, plant and equipment) recorded as other operating expense, which pertains to the abandonment of various leased office premises as a result of the Company’s consolidation of underutilized office premises due to lower demand or shifting to a work-from-home model. The Company made efforts to sublease certain office premises instead of abandoning them, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related widespread adoption of work-from-home practices by many businesses worldwide, the Company has been unable to sublease such premises to date and the Company believes it is unlikely that it will be able to sublease such premises in the foreseeable future.

The Company also recorded a severance charge of $15,395 in personnel expense as a result of a focused reduction in its workforce, which has been subsequently settled. No further restructuring costs have been incurred related to this restructuring plan since the third quarter of 2020.
