Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Segment Realignment
Effective in the first quarter of 2024, the Company realigned its reportable segments to correspond with changes in its business designed to further enhance operational performance in the delivery of its integrated portfolio of products and solutions to its financial institution clients (the “Segment Realignment”). The Company’s new reportable segments are the Merchant Solutions (“Merchant”) segment and the Financial Solutions (“Financial”) segment. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been recast to reflect the Segment Realignment. See Note 20 for additional information.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a majority controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Control is typically established when ownership and voting interests in an entity are greater than 50%. Investments in which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, for which the Company’s share of net income or loss is reported within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and the related tax expense or benefit is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. Significant influence over an affiliate’s operations generally coincides with an ownership interest of between 20% and 50%; however, for partnerships and limited liability companies, an ownership interest of between 3% and 50% or board of director representation may also constitute significant influence.
The Company maintains a majority controlling financial interest in certain entities, mostly related to consolidated merchant alliances (see Note 19). Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ share of the net income or loss and equity in consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s noncontrolling interests presented in the consolidated statements of income include net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interests that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control are presented outside of equity and are carried at their estimated redemption value if it exceeds the initial carrying value of the redeemable interest (see Note 11).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original maturities of 90 days or less and are stated at cost in the consolidated balance sheets, which approximates market value. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted from use due to regulatory or other requirements are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash and cash equivalents held on behalf of merchants and other payees are included in settlement assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in settlement cash and cash equivalents are included in settlement activity, net within cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Table of Contents
The following table provides a reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Total cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | 3,473 |  |  | $ | 2,963 |  |  | $ | 3,005 |  |  |  |

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company analyzes the collectability of trade accounts receivable by considering historical bad debts and issued client credits, client creditworthiness, current economic trends, changes in client payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable may result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $72 million and $86 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

(In millions) |  | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Prepaid maintenance, postage and insurance |  | $ | 235 |  |  | $ | 187 |
Other prepaid expenses |  | 228 |  |  | 236 |
Total prepaid expenses (1) |  | 463 |  |  | 423 |
Income tax receivables (2) |  | 113 |  |  | 534 |
Clover Capital cash advances, net |  | 313 |  |  | 269 |
Settlement advance cash payments |  | 1,082 |  |  | 381 |
Other current assets |  | 778 |  |  | 737 |
Total other current assets |  | 2,286 |  |  | 1,921 |
Total prepaid expenses and other current assets |  | $ | 2,749 |  |  | $ | 2,344 |

(1)Prepaid expenses represent advance payments for goods and services to be consumed in the future.
(2)Includes receivables associated with transferable federal tax credits (see Note 15).
The Company offers merchants advance access to capital through its Clover Capital program. Under this program, merchants sell fixed amounts of their future credit card receivables to the Company in exchange for an up-front purchase price payment. Future credit card receivables purchased by the Company under the Clover Capital program were $326 million and $281 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company maintained a reserve of $13 million and $12 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, based on an estimate of uncollectible amounts.
The Company also offers merchants within its international operations advance access to capital by providing them the opportunity to receive settlement cash payments in advance in exchange for their receivables from card issuers, including when the cardholders have elected to pay over time in installments. The Company maintains various short-term lines of credit with foreign banks and alliance partners to fund such anticipated settlement activity (see Note 10). These local currency denominated arrangements are primarily associated with the Company’s operations in Latin America, the most significant of which are denominated in Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real. The changes in the Clover Capital and settlement advance cash programs are included in merchant cash advances, net within cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Settlement Assets and Obligations
Settlement assets and obligations represent intermediary balances arising from the settlement process, which involves the transfer of funds among card issuers, payment networks, processors, merchants and consumers, and collateral amounts held to
6

Table of Contents
manage merchant credit risk, primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring services. As a processor, the Company facilitates the clearing and settlement activity for the merchant and records settlement assets and obligations upon processing a payment transaction. Settlement assets represent cash received or amounts receivable from agents, payment networks, bank partners, merchants or direct consumers. Settlement obligations represent amounts payable to merchants and payees.
Certain merchant settlement assets (included within settlement receivables) that relate to settlement obligations are held by partner banks to which the Company does not have legal ownership, but which the Company has the right to use, to satisfy the related settlement obligations. The Company records settlement obligations for amounts payable to merchants and for outstanding payment instruments issued to payees that have not yet been presented for settlement.
Allowance for Merchant Credit Losses
With respect to the Company’s merchant acquiring business, the Company’s merchant customers have the legal obligation to refund any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. However, in the event the Company is not able to collect the refunded amounts from the merchants, the Company may be liable for the reversed charges. The Company’s risk in this area primarily relates to situations where a cardholder has purchased goods or services to be delivered in the future. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants to mitigate this risk. Collateral held by the Company, or held by partner banks for the Company’s benefit, is classified within settlement assets, and the obligation to repay the collateral is classified within settlement obligations in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant credit risk. Despite these efforts, the Company experiences losses due to merchant defaults. The aggregate merchant credit loss expense, recognized by the Company within cost of processing and services in the consolidated statements of income, was $24 million and $25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $77 million and $62 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company maintains an allowance for merchant credit losses that are expected to exceed the amount of merchant collateral. The amount of merchant collateral available to the Company was $666 million and $690 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The allowance includes estimated losses from anticipated chargebacks and fraud events that have been incurred on merchants’ payment transactions that have been processed but not yet reported to the Company, which is recorded within accounts payable and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as estimated losses on refunded amounts to cardholders that have not yet been collected from the merchants, which is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance is based primarily on the Company’s historical experience of credit losses and other factors such as changes in economic conditions or increases in merchant fraud. The aggregate merchant credit loss allowance was $38 million and $36 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. Th e Company’s most recent annual impairment assessment of its reporting units in the fourth quarter of 2023 determined that its goodwill was not impaired as the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values. However, it is reasonably possible that future developments related to the interest or currency exchange rate environments; a shift in strategic initiatives; a deterioration in financial performance within a particular reporting unit; or significant changes in the composition of, or assumptions used in, the quantitative test for certain of the Company’s reporting units (such as an increase in risk-adjusted discount rates) could have a future material impact on one or more of the estimates and assumptions used to evaluate goodwill impairment. Additionally, a significant change in a merchant alliance business relationship or operating performance could result in a material goodwill impairment charge.
In connection with the Segment Realignment, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment in the first quarter of 2024 for the impacted reporting units, and determined that its goodwill was not impaired based on an assessment of various qualitative factors. Examples of qualitative factors that the Company assesses include its share price, its financial performance, market and competitive factors in its industry and other events specific to its reporting units. There is no accumulated goodwill impairment for the Company through September 30, 2024.

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s U.S.-based and certain foreign-based businesses. Where the functional currency differs from the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in

effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income for the reporting period.
Financial statements of subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies outside of the U.S. are remeasured into U.S. dollars, and the foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated statements of income, rather than as foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. The remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities in highly inflationary economies, including Argentina, resulted in foreign currency exchange losses of $22 million and $38 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $75 million and $88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included within other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income.
To reduce exposure to changes in the value of the Company’s net investments in certain of its foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt as economic hedges of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses on the qualifying net investment hedge instruments are recorded as foreign currency translation, net of tax, within other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss within the consolidated balance sheets until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries.
Derivatives
Derivatives are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a net investment hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative, net of tax, are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying net investment. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in the same line item as the changes in the fair value of the hedged item and recognized in the consolidated statements of income. To the extent a derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s policy is to enter into derivatives with creditworthy institutions and not to enter into such derivatives for speculative purposes.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company maintains frozen noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees in Europe and the U.S. Effective September 30, 2023, the Company terminated its United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and U.S. defined benefit pension plans. In March 2024, the Company entered into a group annuity insurance contract to provide for the administration of future payments to eligible plan participants of the terminated U.K. plan. In connection with the buy-in of this insurance policy, the plan’s projected benefit obligation was remeasured to the value of the group annuity insurance contract, resulting in an unrecognized loss, net of tax, of approximately $63 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss within the consolidated balance sheet.
Upon the settlement of the terminated plans, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company will fund an estimated plan termination liability shortfall for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans of $20 million and expects to recognize a net non-cash pre-tax pension settlement charge for the terminated U.S. and U.K. plans of approximately $140 million, which also includes the recognition of remaining net actuarial unrecognized losses recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amount of accrued vested benefits to be received by participants will not be impacted.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”), when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820. For public entities, ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions within ASU 2022-03 are to be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 effective January 1, 2024, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which enhances and expands the current annual and interim requirements on segment information disclosures. Under the new disclosure requirements, entities will be required to disclose, on an annual and interim basis: significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment that are included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss and regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”); an aggregate amount and qualitative description of other segment items included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss for each reportable segment; measures of a segment’s profit or loss that are used by the CODM to assess segment performance and decide how to allocate resources; and disclosure of the title and position of the individual or the name of the group identified as the CODM. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information within the income tax reconciliation to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature and magnitude of factors contributing to the difference between the effective and statutory tax rates. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for interim periods of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
3. Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from the delivery of processing, service and product solutions. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer which may be at a point in time or over time.

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s operations are comprised of the Merchant and the Financial reportable segments. Additional information regarding the Company’s business segments is included in Note 20. The table below presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by business line, including a reconciliation with its reportable segments. The Company’s disaggregation of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 has been recast to reflect the Segment Realignment. The Company serves its global client base by working among its geographic teams across various regions, including the U.S. and Canada; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); Latin America (“LATAM”); and Asia Pacific (“APAC”). The majority of the Company’s revenue is earned domestically, with revenue generated within its EMEA, LATAM and APAC regions comprising approximately 15% of total revenue for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and 15% and 14% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contract Balances
The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

(In millions) | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Contract assets | $ | 821 |  |  | $ | 754 |
Contract liabilities | 1,025 |  |  | 1,011 |

Contract assets, reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily relate to customer discounts (contract incentives) where revenue is recognized and payment of consideration under the contract is contingent upon the transfer of services to a customer over the contractual period. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers (deferred revenue) for which transfer of control occurs, and therefore revenue is recognized, as services are provided. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognized $659 million of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period.

2027 | 1,226 |
Thereafter | 1,412 |

The Company applies the optional exemption under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for account- and transaction-based processing fees that qualify for recognition under the as-invoiced practical expedient. These multi-year contracts contain variable consideration for stand-ready performance obligations for which the exact quantity and mix of transactions to be processed are contingent upon the customer’s request. The Company also applies the optional exemptions under ASC 606 and does not disclose information for variable consideration that is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property or that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service in a series. The amounts disclosed above as remaining performance obligations consist primarily of fixed or monthly minimum processing fees and maintenance fees under contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year.
4. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Purchase price was allocated to the respective identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisitions. The results of operations for the following acquired and divested businesses are included in the consolidated results of the Company from the respective dates of acquisition and through the respective dates of disposition. Pro forma information for these acquired businesses is not provided because they did not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Acquisitions
On October 9, 2023, the Company acquired Skytef Solucões em Captura de Transações Ltda (“Skytef”), a distributor for independent software vendor partners and merchants of the Company’s Electronic Funds Transfer payments software. Skytef is included within the Merchant segment and expands the Company’s distribution network and point-of-sale applications. On November 1, 2023, the Company acquired Sled S.A. (“Sled”), a provider of instant payment solutions. Sled is included within the Merchant segment and expands the Company’s direct payment service capabilities. The Company acquired these businesses in Latin America for an aggregate purchase price, including hold-backs, of $17 million. The purchase price allocations for the Skytef and Sled acquisitions were finalized in the first quarter of 2024, and measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.
Dispositions
On July 25, 2023, the Company sold its financial reconciliation business, which was reported within the Financial segment, for cash proceeds of $232 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $177 million on the sale, recorded within net gain on sale of businesses and other assets, with a related tax expense of $49 million recorded within the income tax provision, in the consolidated statement of income during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The pre-tax gain was comprised of the difference between the consideration received and the net carrying amount of the business, including $38 million of allocated goodwill and $13 million of other net assets, primarily consisting of trade accounts receivable and capitalized software.

Amortization expense associated with the above identifiable intangible assets was $566 million and $579 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
6. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company maintains investments in various affiliates that are accounted for as equity method investments, the most significant of which are related to the Company’s merchant alliances. The Company’s share of net income or loss from these investments is reported within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the related tax expense or benefit is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. The Company reviews its equity method investments each reporting period for indications of an other-than-temporary decline in value, including significant changes in business relationships with merchant alliances. A decline in value of an equity method investment determined to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a current-period impairment charge within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated fair values of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated merchant alliances assume a continuation beyond the existing contractual term. A renewal of certain of the merchant alliance agreements beyond the current contractual term is not solely within the Company’s control.
Merchant Alliances
The Company maintains ownership interests in various merchant alliances. A merchant alliance is an agreement between the Company and a financial institution that combines the processing capabilities and management expertise of the Company with the visibility and distribution channel of the financial institution. A merchant alliance acquires credit and debit card transactions from merchants. The Company provides processing and other services to the alliance and charges fees to the alliance based on contractual pricing (see Note 19).
The Company maintains a 40% ownership interest in the Wells Fargo Merchant Services merchant alliance (“WFMS”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company acquired its ownership, at fair value, in WFMS through its 2019 acquisition of First Data Corporation. In the third quarter of 2024, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) provided the Company a notice of non-renewal for WFMS. Upon expiration of the merchant alliance, effective April 1, 2025, the Company expects to receive a cash payment or assets equal to the fair value of its share of WFMS, as determined in accordance with an agreed upon contractual valuation and separation process.
12

Table of Contents
The Company recorded a $570 million non-cash impairment as a result of an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of its equity method investment in WFMS within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the related tax benefit within the income tax provision in the consolidated statement of income in the third quarter of 2024. The impairment was based on the Company’s estimate of the fair value of its portion of WFMS, and is subject to further adjustments upon completion of the valuation process agreed to by the Company and Wells Fargo and additional information received throughout the final valuation process. The Company’s estimated fair value of WFMS was determined using an income valuation approach, which required estimates of the discount and tax rates; future expected net cash flows, including customer growth and attrition rates, and indirect expenses of WFMS; and other future events that are judgmental in nature, reflecting the risks inherent in future cash flows. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that were not observable in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.
The Company’s investment in its merchant alliances was $1.3 billion and $1.9 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is reported within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets.
Other Equity Investments
The Company also maintains investments, over which it does not have significant influence, in various equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments totaled $137 million and $156 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are primarily included within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews these investments each reporting period to determine whether an impairment or observable price change for the investment has occurred. To the extent such events or changes occur, the Company evaluates the fair value compared to its cost basis in the investment. Gains or losses from a sale of these investments or a change in fair value are included within other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income for the period. Adjustments made to the values recorded for certain equity securities and net gains from sales of equity securities were $2 million and $29 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and were not significant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
7. Derivatives and Hedging Instruments
In order to limit exposure to risk, the Company maintains derivative instruments with creditworthy institutions to hedge against changing interest rates and foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company utilizes forward exchange contracts, fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and other non-derivative hedging instruments to manage such risk. The Company has designated these instruments as cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, or fair value hedges, as further described below. Derivative instruments maintained by the Company are measured on a recurring basis and are recorded at fair value either as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 8).
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company maintains forward exchange contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency exposure to the Indian Rupee. The notional amount of these derivatives was $451 million and $443 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2024, the Company estimates that it will recognize gains of approximately $1 million in cost of processing and services during the next twelve months as foreign exchange forward contracts settle.
The Company previously entered into treasury lock agreements (“Treasury Locks”), designated as cash flow hedges to manage exposure to fluctuations in benchmark interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of fixed rate debt in connection with the acquisition and refinancing of certain indebtedness of First Data Corporation and its subsidiaries. In 2019, concurrent with the issuance of U.S dollar-denominated senior notes, the Treasury Locks were settled resulting in a loss, net of income taxes, and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss that is being amortized to earnings over the terms of the originally forecast interest payments. The unamortized balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Treasury Locks was $105 million and $116 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2024, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $13 million in net interest expense during the next twelve months related to settled interest rate hedge contracts.
Net Investment Hedges
To reduce exposure to changes in the value of the Company’s net investments in certain of its foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt as economic hedges of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries.

Table of Contents
The aggregate notional amount of the fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts were as follows:

(In millions) | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Currency |  |  |
Euros | 475 |  |  | 400 |
Singapore Dollars | 841 |  |  | 751 |
Canadian Dollars | 253 |  |  | — |

These fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swaps have been designated as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro, Singapore Dollar, and Canadian Dollar. The Company has also designated certain of its Euro- and British Pound-denominated senior notes and Euro commercial paper notes as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of its net investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro and the British Pound.
Foreign currency transaction gains or losses on the qualifying net investment hedge instruments are recorded as foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries.
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net of income tax, related to net investment hedges that were recorded as foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income were as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Cross-currency rate swap contracts | $ | (33) |  |  | $ | 4 |  |  | $ | (17) |  |  | $ | (3) |
Foreign currency-denominated debt | (134) |  |  | 123 |  |  | (33) |  |  | 9 |

The Company recorded income tax impacts of $56 million and $(42) million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17 million and $(2) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss) from the translation of foreign currency-denominated senior notes, Euro commercial paper notes and cross-currency rate swap contracts.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company maintains fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to mitigate the spot foreign exchange rate risk on the principal amount of its British Pound-denominated 2.250% senior notes due in July 2025, as well as on the principal amount of a Euro-denominated intercompany note.
The aggregate notional amount of the fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts were as follows:

(In millions) | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Currency |  |  |
British Pounds | 525 |  |  | 525 |
Euros | 157 |  |  | 157 |

Net changes in the fair value of the cross-currency rate swaps ($33 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024), along with the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged notes, attributable to fluctuations in the respective foreign currency spot rates are recognized in other expense, net within the consolidated statements of income.
8. Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other current assets, settlement assets and obligations, accounts payable, and client deposits approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. Derivative instruments maintained by the Company (see Note 7) are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forwards quoted by banks and foreign currency dealers and are marked to market each period. Contingent consideration related to certain of the Company’s acquisitions is estimated using the present value of a probability-weighted assessment approach based on the likelihood of achieving the earn-out criteria. The Company’s obligation to purchase a redeemable
14

Table of Contents
noncontrolling interest in one of its existing merchant alliance joint ventures (see Note 11) is measured at the estimated fair value of the minority interest. This obligation will be settled at a future date through the distribution of certain merchant contracts to the minority partner. The fair value of the Company’s contingent liability for current expected credit losses associated with its debt guarantees, as further described below, is estimated based on assumptions of future risk of default and the corresponding level of credit losses at the time of default.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

|  |  |  |  | Fair Value
(In millions) | Classification |  | Fair Value Hierarchy |  | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023

Contingent debt guarantee | Other long-term liabilities |  | Level 3 |  | 17 |  |  | 23 |

Debt
The Company’s senior notes are recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair value of senior notes was based on matrix pricing which considers readily observable inputs of comparable securities (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The carrying value of the Company’s foreign lines of credit, commercial paper notes and revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value as these instruments have variable interest rates and the Company has not experienced any change to its credit ratings (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The estimated fair value of total debt, excluding finance leases and other financing obligations, was $24.1 billion and $21.6 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and the carrying value was $24.3 billion and $22.2 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Debt Guarantee Arrangements
The Company maintains noncontrolling ownership interests in Sagent M&C, LLC and defi SOLUTIONS Group, LLC (collectively the “Lending Joint Ventures”), which are accounted for under the equity method. The Lending Joint Ventures maintain variable-rate term loan facilities with aggregate outstanding borrowings of $426 million in senior unsecured debt at September 30, 2024 and variable-rate revolving credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $83 million with a syndicate of banks, which mature in April 2027. There were $20 million of aggregate outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facilities at September 30, 2024. The Company has guaranteed the debt of the Lending Joint Ventures.

Table of Contents
The Company maintains liabilities for its obligations to perform over the term of its debt guarantee arrangements with the Lending Joint Ventures, which are reported within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has provided aggregate guarantees of $509 million associated with the debt of the Lending Joint Ventures and is entitled to receive a defined fee in exchange for its guarantee of this indebtedness. The Company has not made any payments under the guarantees, nor has it been called upon to do so, and does not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations.
The non-contingent component of the Company’s debt guarantee arrangements is recorded at amortized cost, but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The carrying value of the Company’s non-contingent liability of $24 million and $31 million approximates the fair value at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). Such guarantees will be amortized in future periods over the contractual term of the debt. The contingent component of the Company’s debt guarantee arrangements represents the current expected credit losses to which the Company is exposed. The amount of the liability, as reflected within the table above, is estimated based on certain financial metrics of the Lending Joint Ventures and historical industry data, which is used to develop assumptions of the likelihood the guaranteed parties will default and the level of credit losses in the event a default occurs. The Company recognized $4 million and $2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $13 million and $7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, within other expense, net in its consolidated statements of income related to its release from risk under the non-contingent guarantees as well as a change in the provision of estimated credit losses associated with the indebtedness of the Lending Joint Ventures.
Other Non-Financial Assets
Certain of the Company’s non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including property and equipment, lease right-of-use assets, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, goodwill and other intangible assets, and are subject to fair value adjustment in certain circumstances (see Note 6).

2034. Interest on these senior notes is paid semi-annually. The Company used the net proceeds from this senior notes offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of the Company’s commercial paper notes and for share repurchases, and in July 2024, the repayment of a portion of its 2.750% senior notes.
At September 30, 2024, the 3.850% senior notes due in June 2025 and 2.250% senior notes due in July 2025 were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as the Company has the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis, and the ability to do so under its revolving credit facility.
The indentures governing these senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person, (ii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. The Company may, at its option, redeem these senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption price.
Commercial Paper
The Company maintains unsecured U.S. dollar and Euro commercial paper programs. From time to time, the Company may issue under these programs U.S. dollar commercial paper with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance and Euro commercial paper with maturities of up to 183 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding borrowings under the U.S. dollar program were $317 million and $418 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 4.933% and 5.454%, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the Euro program were $1.3 billion at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, with weighted average interest rates of 3.629% and 4.029%, respectively. The Company intends to maintain available capacity under its revolving credit facility, as described below, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding borrowings under its commercial paper programs. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper programs are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term as the Company has the intent to refinance this commercial paper on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper upon maturity, and the Company also has the ability to refinance such commercial paper under its revolving credit facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company maintains a senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, which matures in June 2027 and provides for a maximum aggregate principal amount of availability of $6.0 billion. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a variable base rate, determined by the term and currency of the borrowing, plus a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $70 million and $74 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with corresponding interest rates of 5.970% and 6.450%, respectively. The credit facility also requires the Company to pay a facility fee based on the aggregate commitments in effect under the agreement from time to time. The credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that require the Company to, among other things, limit its consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than 3.75 times the Company’s consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and expenses and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, subject to certain exceptions.
Foreign Lines of Credit
The Company maintains various short-term lines of credit and other borrowing arrangements with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund merchant settlement advances associated with operations in Latin America, including an annually renewable term loan facility to fund settlement advance cash payments in Brazil. This term loan has a notional value of 514 million Brazilian real ($95 million USD equivalent) at September 30, 2024 and bears interest at a variable Certificado de Depósito Interbancário (CDI) Rate, plus a specified margin per annum. In February 2024, this term loan facility was amended, which amendment extended its maturity date to April 2025 and decreased the specified margin to 1.25% per annum.

11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The minority partner in one of the Company’s existing merchant alliance joint ventures maintained a redeemable noncontrolling 1% interest which was presented outside of equity and carried at its estimated redemption value. The minority partner was entitled to a contractually determined share of the entity’s income, and the joint venture agreement contained redemption features whereby the interest held by the minority partner was redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control.
Effective June 2024, the Company and the merchant alliance joint venture minority partner mutually agreed to terminate the joint venture agreement on September 1, 2024. Under the provisions of the separation agreement, the Company redeemed the minority partner’s membership interest in exchange for a future distribution of certain merchant contracts. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was adjusted to reflect the estimated redemption value, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to additional paid-in capital (see Notes 8 and 12). Additionally, as the redeemable noncontrolling interest is now mandatorily redeemable, the Company’s obligation to satisfy the purchase of the interest has been reclassified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (see Note 9). The Company maintains an ongoing relationship with the former minority partner to provide processing and other support services following the termination of the joint venture agreement.
The following table presents a summary of the redeemable noncontrolling interest activity during the nine months ended September 30:

14. Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognized $88 million and $76 million of share-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $273 million and $275 million of share-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s share-based compensation awards are typically granted in the first quarter of the year, and may also occur throughout the year in conjunction with acquisitions of businesses. At September 30, 2024, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock units and awards, performance share units, and unvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, of $412 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

15. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision and effective income tax rate were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions) |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Income tax provision |  | $ | 74 |  |  | $ | 239 |  |  | $ | 448 |  |  | $ | 544 |
Effective income tax rate |  | 5.8 | % |  | 19.8 | % |  | 13.5 | % |  | 19.5 | %

The income tax provision as a percentage of income before income taxes and loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was 5.8% and 19.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 13.5% and 19.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before income taxes and loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a deferred tax benefit of $142 million recorded within the income tax provision associated with a non-cash impairment charge of $570 million recorded within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Pursuant to provisions under the Inflation Reduction Act, the Company has purchased transferable federal tax credits from various counterparties. Such federal tax credits were purchased at negotiated discounts, resulting in an income tax benefit. Receivables associated with transferable federal tax credits are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and amounts owed to counterparties for the purchased credits are recorded within accounts payable and other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company’s potential liability for unrecognized tax benefits before interest and penalties was approximately $88 million at September 30, 2024. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $5 million over the next twelve months as a result of possible closure of tax audits, audit settlements, and the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return for 2023, and tax returns in certain states and foreign jurisdictions for 2017 through 2023, remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

16. Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share Attributable to Fiserv, Inc.
The computation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income attributable to Fiserv, Inc. per share - basic | 573.7 |  |  | 606.2 |  |  | 582.5 |  |  | 616.2 |
Common stock equivalents | 3.2 |  |  | 4.1 |  |  | 3.2 |  |  | 4.1 |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income attributable to Fiserv, Inc. per share - diluted | 576.9 |  |  | 610.3 |  |  | 585.7 |  |  | 620.3 |

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, stock options for 140,193 and 948,973 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares - diluted because their impact was anti-dilutive. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, stock options excluded from the calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares - diluted were not significant.
17. Cash Flow Information
Supplemental cash flow information consisted of the following:

| Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions) | 2024 |  | 2023
Interest paid | $ | 983 |  |  | $ | 703 |

Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities - operating leases | 74 |  |  | 69 |
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities - finance leases | 197 |  |  | 242 |

18. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Legislative Matters
In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. The Company maintained an accrual of $29 million and $32 million a t September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to its various legal proceedings, primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring business and certain tax matters. The Company’s estimate of the possible range of exposure for various legal proceedings in excess of amounts accrued is $0 million to approximately $110 million. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Electronic Payments Transactions
In connection with the Company’s processing of electronic payments transactions, which are separate and distinct from the settlement payment transactions described in Note 1, funds received from subscribers are invested from the time the Company collects the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. These subscriber funds are invested in short-term, highly liquid investments. Subscriber funds, which are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, can fluctuate significantly based on consumer bill payment and debit card activity and totaled $677 million and $3.5 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Indemnifications and Warranties
The Company may indemnify its clients from certain costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement associated with its clients’ use of the Company’s products or services. The Company may also warrant to clients that its products and services will operate in accordance with identified specifications. From time to time, in connection with sales of businesses, the Company agrees to indemnify the buyers of such businesses for liabilities associated with the businesses that are
24

Table of Contents
sold. Payments, net of recoveries, under such indemnification or warranty provisions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
19. Related Party Transactions
Merchant Alliances
A portion of the Company’s business is conducted through merchant alliances between the Company and financial institutions (see Note 6). A merchant alliance is an agreement between the Company and a financial institution that combines the processing capabilities and management expertise of the Company with the visibility and distribution channel of the financial institution. A merchant alliance acquires credit and debit card transactions from merchants. The Company provides processing and other services to the alliance and charges fees to the alliance based on contractual pricing.
To the extent the Company maintains a controlling financial interest in an alliance, the alliance’s financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company and the related processing fees are treated as an intercompany transaction and eliminated in consolidation. To the extent the Company has significant influence in, but not control of, an alliance, the Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in the alliance. As a result, the processing and other service fees charged to merchant alliances accounted for under the equity method are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income primarily as processing and services revenue. Such fees totaled $36 million and $44 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $113 million and $135 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No directors or officers of the Company have ownership interests in any of the alliances. The formation of each of these alliances generally involves the Company and the financial institution contributing contracts with merchants to the alliance and a cash payment from one owner to the other to achieve the desired ownership percentage for each. The Company and the financial institution enter into a long-term processing service agreement, which governs the Company’s provision of transaction processing services to the alliance. The Company had approximately $26 million and $38 million of amounts due from unconsolidated merchant alliances included within trade accounts receivable, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Share Repurchase
On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P., an affiliate of which employed a member of the Company’s board of directors, to repurchase 4.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock for $121.98 per share in a privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. The repurchase was effected pursuant to an existing repurchase authorization for up to 75.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock approved by the Company’s board of directors on February 22, 2023. The share repurchase was completed on August 8, 2023, and the fair value of the repurchased shares of Company common stock was recorded to treasury stock during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

achieve best-in-class results through a commitment to innovation and excellence in areas including account processing and digital banking solutions; card issuer processing and network services; payments; e-commerce; merchant acquiring and processing; and the Clover® cloud-based point-of-sale (“POS”) and business management platform. Most of the products and services we provide are necessary for our clients to operate their businesses and are therefore non-discretionary in nature. We serve our global client base by working among our geographic teams across various regions, including the United States of America (“U.S.”) and Canada; Europe, Middle East and Africa; Latin America; and Asia Pacific.
We aspire to move money and information in a way that moves the world. Our purpose is to deliver superior value for our clients through leading technology, targeted innovation and excellence in everything we do.

Effective in the first quarter of 2024, we realigned our reportable segments to correspond with changes in our business designed to further enhance operational performance in the delivery of our integrated portfolio of products and solutions to our financial institution clients (the “Segment Realignment”). Our new reportable segments are the Merchant Solutions (“Merchant”) segment and the Financial Solutions (“Financial”) segment. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been recast to reflect the Segment Realignment.
The businesses in the Merchant segment provide commerce-enabling products and services to companies of all sizes around the world. These products and services include merchant acquiring and digital commerce services; mobile payment services; security and fraud protection solutions; stored-value solutions; and pay-by-bank solutions. The businesses within the Merchant segment consist of the following:
•Small Business – provides products and services to small businesses and independent software vendors, including Clover®, our point-of-sale integrated commerce operating system for small business clients

We distribute the products and services in the Merchant segment businesses through a variety of channels, including direct sales teams, strategic partnerships with agent sales forces, independent software vendors (“ISV”), financial institutions and other strategic partners in the form of joint venture alliances, revenue sharing alliances and referral agreements.
The businesses in the Financial segment provide products and services to financial institution, corporate and public sector clients across the world, enabling the processing of customer loan and deposit accounts, digital payments and card transactions.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
We frequently review our businesses to ensure we have the necessary assets to execute our strategy. We expect to acquire businesses when we identify: a compelling strategic need, such as a product, service or technology that helps meet client demand; a way to achieve business scale that enables competition and operational efficiency; or similar considerations. We expect to divest businesses that are not in line with our market, product or financial strategies. The results of operations for the
28

Table of Contents
following acquired and divested businesses are included in our consolidated results from the respective dates of acquisition and through the respective dates of disposition.
Acquisitions of Businesses
On October 9, 2023, we acquired Skytef Solucões em Captura de Transações Ltda (“Skytef”), a distributor for ISV partners and merchants of our Electronic Funds Transfer payments software. Skytef is included within the Merchant segment and expands our distribution network and POS applications. On November 1, 2023, we acquired Sled S.A. (“Sled”), a provider of instant payment solutions. Sled is included within the Merchant segment and expands our direct payment service capabilities. We acquired these businesses in Latin America for an aggregate purchase price, including hold-backs, of $17 million.
Dispositions of Businesses
On July 25, 2023, we sold our financial reconciliation business, which was reported within the Financial segment, for cash proceeds of $232 million, subject to final net working capital adjustments. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $177 million on the sale during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Other Transactions
In the third quarter of 2024, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) provided us a notice of non-renewal for the Wells Fargo Merchant Services merchant alliance (“WFMS”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment. Upon expiration of the merchant alliance, effective April 1, 2025, we expect to receive a cash payment or assets equal to the fair value of our 40% ownership interest of WFMS, as determined in accordance with an agreed upon contractual valuation and separation process. We recorded a $570 million non-cash impairment as a result of an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of our equity method investment in WFMS during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The impairment was based on our estimate of the fair value of WFMS and is subject to further adjustments upon completion of the final valuation process. In connection with the expiration of WFMS, we entered into a multi-year agreement with Wells Fargo to provide processing for current and future merchant clients as well as other services to Wells Fargo’s merchant business.
On September 25, 2023, we acquired the remaining 49% ownership interest in European Merchant Services B.V., a Netherlands-based merchant acceptance business, for $56 million. We previously held a majority controlling financial interest in this subsidiary, which continues to be consolidated and reported within the Merchant segment.
Industry Trends
The global payments landscape continues to evolve, with rapidly advancing technologies and a steady expansion of digital payments, e-commerce and real-time payments infrastructure. Because of this growth, competition also continues to intensify. Business and consumer expectations continue to rise, with a focus on speed, convenience, choice and security. To meet these expectations, payments companies are focused on modernizing their technology, expanding the use of data and enhancing the customer experience.
Merchants
The rapid growth in and globalization of mobile and e-commerce, driven by consumers’ desire for simpler, more efficient shopping experiences, has created an opportunity for merchants to reach consumers nearly anywhere, through any device, which often requires a merchant acquiring provider to enable and optimize the acceptance of payments. Merchants are demanding simpler, integrated and flexible systems to enable them to serve customers and help manage cash flow and everyday business operations. When combined with the ever-increasing ways a consumer can pay for goods and services, merchants have sought modern end-to-end solutions throughout their growth lifecycle to streamline the complexity. Furthermore, merchants can now search, discover, compare, purchase and even install a new system through direct, digital-only experiences. This direct, digital-only channel is a source of new merchant acquisition opportunities, especially with respect to smaller merchants.
Additionally, there are numerous software-as-a-service solution providers in the industry, many of which have chosen to integrate merchant acquiring into their software as a way to generate revenue from existing client relationships. Such providers are independent software vendors, typically referred to as ISVs, and we believe there are numerous potential distribution partnership opportunities to cross-sell multiple value-added solutions available to us.
We believe that our merchant acquiring products and solutions create compelling value propositions for merchant clients of all sizes, from small and mid-sized businesses to medium-sized regional businesses to global enterprise merchants. The depth and breadth of our omnichannel solutions, and flexibility to serve clients across various channels and geographies, drives higher product attach rates with new and existing clients across all verticals. Furthermore, we believe that our strength in distribution,

our progress growing software and services, and our value-based pricing as we continue to invest in our operating systems, gives us a solid foundation for growth.

Financial services providers regularly introduce and implement new payment, deposit, risk management, lending and investment products, and the distinctions among the products and services traditionally offered by different types of financial institutions continue to narrow as they seek to serve the same customers. At the same time, the evolving global regulatory and cybersecurity landscape has continued to create a challenging operating environment for financial institutions. These conditions are driving heightened interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate revenue, comply with regulations and enhance operating efficiency. In addition, the focus on the customer experience, including through mobile and online engagement, by both financial institutions and their customers, as well as the growing volume and types of payment transactions in the marketplace, continues to elevate the data and transaction processing needs of financial institutions.
Financial institutions must be able to serve their customers with tailored solutions, delivered how and when those customers want. In addition, financial institutions are striving for this single, integrated view of a customer’s activity. This requires financial institutions to not only process customer transactions, but to integrate financial institutions’ products and services to give customers easy access to integrated solutions. We believe that the integration of our products and services creates a compelling value proposition for our clients by providing, among other things, new sources of revenue and opportunities to reduce their costs. We have invested in integrating our platforms and value-added solutions to make it easy for a client to buy across our full product suite.
We expect that financial institutions will continue to invest significant capital to process transactions, manage information, maintain regulatory compliance and offer innovative new services to their customers in this rapidly evolving and competitive environmental shift from traditional to digital banking. We believe that economies of scale in developing and maintaining the infrastructure, technology, products, services and networks necessary to be competitive in such an environment are essential to justify these investments, and we anticipate that demand for products that facilitate customer interaction with financial institutions, including a unified, seamless customer experience across mobile and online channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us.
Our focus on long-term client relationships and recurring, transaction-oriented products and services has reduced the impact that consolidation in the financial services industry has had on us. Rather than reducing the overall market, these consolidations transfer accounts among financial institutions. If a client loss occurs due to merger or acquisition, we typically receive a contract termination fee based on the size of the client and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. We believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with our value-added software and services-led model, and our position as a leading provider of non-discretionary, recurring revenue-based products and services, gives us a solid foundation for growth.
Recent Market Conditions
Global macroeconomic conditions, including changing interest rates, inflation, disruptions in the global supply chain, changes in consumer spending, the effects of international hostilities, political conditions, and regulations restricting trade or impacting our ability to offer products or services, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Personal consumption and consumer savings growth in the U.S. may also negatively impact our business and financial results. We actively monitor and manage our business in response to these unpredictable geopolitical and market conditions, as they may adversely impact our operations and financial results.
In addition, our operating results in certain foreign countries in which we operate may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates for currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the Euro, British Pound Sterling and Argentine Peso. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies in countries in which we operate would negatively impact our revenue and earnings. We also have exposure to risks related to currency devaluation in certain countries, which may negatively impact our international operating results if there is a prolonged devaluation of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or if the economic conditions in these countries decline. While the majority of our revenue is earned domestically, we actively monitor the foreign exchange rate environment and may enter into derivative instruments and utilize other non-derivative hedging instruments with creditworthy institutions in an effort to manage these risks.
The operations of our Argentina subsidiary are experiencing higher interest rates and inflation as compared to historical averages. The anticipated benefits of higher transitory revenue from above-average interest and inflation may be offset in whole or in part by, or may be less than, foreign currency exchange losses related to a significant devaluation of the Argentine Peso.

Changes in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified our critical accounting policies and estimates. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including for recently adopted accounting pronouncements, and base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable in light of current circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ materially from these estimates. For example, we estimate the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions of businesses and may record purchase accounting adjustments during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Additionally, we review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment by comparing the estimated fair values of our reporting units to their carrying values. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves judgement and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which include assumptions regarding the revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate estimated future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, and future economic and market conditions.
In addition to the critical accounting policies and estimates included as Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024, the following additional critical accounting policy and estimate has become material to us since the filing of our Form 10-K.
Equity Method Investments
We review our investments in various affiliates that are accounted for as equity method investments for indications of an other- than-temporary decline in value whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors, such as a shift in strategic initiatives or a significant change in a merchant alliance business relationship, may indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred that is other-than-temporary. A decline in value of an equity method investment determined to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a current-period impairment charge. Measurement of an impairment loss is based upon a comparison of the carrying amount of the investment to its estimated fair value.
Determining the fair value of an equity method investment involves judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which include assumptions regarding customer growth and attrition rates and operating margins used to calculate estimated future cash flows; risk-adjusted discount rates; and other future economic and market conditions. During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that one of our equity method investments experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value and therefore recorded a pretax non-cash impairment charge of $570 million. Additional information regarding our equity method investments is included in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
The following table presents certain amounts included in our consolidated statements of income, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to revenue and the change in those amounts from year to year. This information should be read together with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The unaudited financial results presented below have been affected by acquisitions, dispositions, non-cash impairment charges, and foreign currency fluctuations. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been recast to reflect the Segment Realignment.

The effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before income taxes and loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a deferred tax benefit of $142 million recorded within the income tax provision associated with a non-cash impairment charge of $570 million recorded within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, resulting in the lower effective income tax rate.
Loss from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Our share of net loss from unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method is reported as loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and the related tax (provision) benefit is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. Loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, including acquired intangible asset amortization from valuations in purchase accounting, was $(626) million and $(2) million in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(642) million and $(11) million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 included a $570 million non-cash impairment related to the Wells Fargo Merchant Services merchant alliance.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the minority partners’ share of the net income in our consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, including acquired intangible asset amortization from valuations in purchase accounting, was $7 million and $17 million in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $39 million and $42 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net Income Per Share – Diluted
Net income attributable to Fiserv, Inc. per share-diluted was $0.98 and $1.56 in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3.74 and $3.54 in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the impacts to net income attributable to Fiserv, Inc. described above, our diluted weighted average outstanding shares were reduced by 5% and 6% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, compared to 2023, due to our share repurchase program.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary liquidity needs in the ordinary course of business are to: (i) fund normal operating expenses; (ii) meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness, including finance leases; and (iii) fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied in both the short and long term using cash flow generated by our operations, along with our cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion, proceeds from the issuance of U.S. dollar and Euro commercial paper, and available capacity under our revolving credit facility of $2.7 billion (net of outstanding revolver borrowings and $3.3 billion of capacity designated for outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs, senior notes due within the next twelve months and letters of credit) at September 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by operating activities, or operating cash flow, and capital expenditures:

Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 4,410 |  |  | $ | 3,567 |  |  | $ | 843 |  |  | 24 | %
Capital expenditures, including capitalized software and other intangibles | $ | 1,170 |  |  | $ | 1,034 |  |  | $ | 136 |  |  | 13 | %

Our operating cash flow was $4.4 billion in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of 24% compared with $3.6 billion in the first nine months of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increased profitability, excluding non-cash impairments included within loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and corresponding cash flows, along with favorable fluctuations in working capital, including the timing of vendor payments.
We maintain investments in various affiliates that are accounted for as equity method investments. Total distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, including those classified as cash flows from investing activities, were $88 million and $152 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to fund capital expenditures, merchant cash advances, share repurchases, acquisitions and to repay debt rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures were approximately 8% and 7% of our total revenue for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Share Repurchases
We repurchased $4.3 billion of our common stock during the first nine months of 2024. On August 8, 2023, we repurchased 4.1 million shares of our common stock for $121.98 per share in a privately negotiated transaction with ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Including this transaction, we repurchased $3.7 billion of our common stock during the first nine months of 2023.
On February 22, 2023, our board of directors approved a repurchase authorization for up to 75.0 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately 24.2 million shares remaining under our existing repurchase authorization. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions of Businesses
We acquired Skytef in October 2023 and Sled in November 2023 for an aggregate purchase price, including hold-backs, of $17 million. We funded these acquisitions by utilizing available cash. The results of operations for these acquired businesses are included in our consolidated results from the respective dates of acquisition.
Dispositions of Businesses
We sold our financial reconciliation business in July 2023 for cash proceeds of $232 million, subject to final net working capital adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale were primarily used to pay down indebtedness and repurchase shares of our common stock.
Other Transactions
In September 2023, we acquired the remaining 49% ownership interest in European Merchant Services B.V., in which we

previously held a majority controlling financial interest in this consolidated subsidiary, for $56 million. We funded this transaction by utilizing a combination of available cash and proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper.

We used the net proceeds from this senior notes offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of our commercial paper notes and for share repurchases.
In March 2024, we completed the public offering and issuance of $2.0 billion of senior notes, comprised of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.150% senior notes due in March 2027, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.350% senior notes due in March 2031 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.450% senior notes due in March 2034. We

used the net proceeds from this senior notes offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of our commercial paper notes and for share repurchases, and in July 2024, the repayment of a portion of our 2.750% senior notes.
At September 30, 2024, our debt consisted primarily of $21.9 billion of fixed-rate senior notes and $1.6 billion of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs. Interest on our U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes is paid semi-annually, while interest on our Euro and British Pound-denominated senior notes is paid annually. Interest on our revolving credit facility and commercial paper notes is generally paid weekly, or more frequently on occasion.
At September 30, 2024, the 3.850% senior notes due in June 2025 and 2.250% senior notes due in July 2025 were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as we have the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis, and the ability to do so under our revolving credit facility. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper programs are also classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as we have the intent to refinance this commercial paper on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper upon maturity, and also have the ability to refinance such commercial paper under our revolving credit facility.
Variable Rate Debt
Our variable rate debt consisted of the following at September 30, 2024:

(In millions) | Maturity |  | Weighted-Average Interest Rate |  | Outstanding Borrowings
Foreign lines of credit | various |  | 34.503% |  | $ | 868 |
U.S. dollar commercial paper notes | various |  | 4.933% |  | 317 |
Euro commercial paper notes | various |  | 3.629% |  | 1,329 |
Revolving credit facility | June 2027 |  | 5.970% |  | 70 |
Total variable rate debt |  |  | 14.224% |  | $ | 2,584 |

We maintain various short-term lines of credit and other borrowing arrangements with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund merchant settlement advances associated with operations in Latin America, including an annually renewable term loan facility to fund settlement advance cash payments in Brazil. This term loan has a notional value of 514 million Brazilian real ($95 million USD equivalent) at September 30, 2024 and bears interest at a variable Certificado de Depósito Interbancário (CDI) Rate, plus a specified margin per annum. In February 2024, this term loan facility was amended, which amendment extended its maturity date to April 2025 and decreased the specified margin to 1.25% per annum.
The following table provides a summary of the outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rates of our foreign lines of credit and other borrowing arrangements by country at September 30, 2024:

| Outstanding Borrowings (in millions) |  | Weighted-Average Interest Rate
Argentina | $ | 635 |  |  |  |  | 43.775 | % |  |
Brazil | 109 |  |  |  |  | 11.663 | % |  |
Uruguay | 52 |  |  |  |  | 10.061 | % |  |
Other | 72 |  |  |  |  | 5.061 | % |  |
Total | $ | 868 |  |  |  |  | 34.503 | % |  |

We offer advanced funding of settlement activity associated with operations in Argentina by utilizing local operating cash and various short-term lines of credit to borrow in the Argentina overnight market. As we collect a portion of the corresponding receivables from card issuers over several months, in the event we are unable to continue to borrow in the Argentina overnight market, we may fund future advances with our consolidated cash and cash equivalents and available capacity under our revolving credit facility.
We maintain unsecured U.S. dollar and Euro commercial paper programs with various maturities generally ranging from one day to four months. Outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs bear interest based on the prevailing rates at the time of issuance.
We also maintain a senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, which matures in June 2027 and provides for a maximum aggregate principal amount of availability of $6.0 billion. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a
39

Table of Contents
variable base rate, determined by the term and currency of the borrowing, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $70 million at September 30, 2024. We are required to pay a facility fee based on the aggregate commitments in effect under the credit agreement from time to time.
Debt Covenants and Compliance
The indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) our ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, (ii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. We may, at our option, redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the applicable redemption price.
The revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to, among other things, limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than 3.75 times our consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and expenses and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, subject to certain exceptions.
During the first nine months of 2024, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to meet future debt covenant requirements will depend on our continued ability to generate earnings and cash flows. We expect to remain in compliance with all terms and conditions associated with our outstanding debt, including financial debt covenants.
Debt Guarantees
We maintain noncontrolling ownership interests in Sagent M&C, LLC and defi SOLUTIONS Group, LLC (collectively, the “Lending Joint Ventures”). The Lending Joint Ventures maintain variable-rate term loan facilities with aggregate outstanding borrowings of $426 million in senior unsecured debt at September 30, 2024 and variable-rate revolving credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $83 million with a syndicate of banks, which mature in April 2027. There were $20 million of aggregate outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facilities at September 30, 2024. We have guaranteed the debt of the Lending Joint Ventures. We maintained a liability of $24 million at September 30, 2024 for the estimated fair value of our non-contingent obligations to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee arrangements. Such guarantees will be amortized in future periods over the contractual term of the debt. In addition, we maintained a contingent liability of $17 million at September 30, 2024, representing the current expected credit losses to which we are exposed. This contingent liability is estimated based on certain financial metrics of the Lending Joint Ventures and historical industry data, which is used to develop assumptions of the likelihood the guaranteed parties will default and the level of credit losses in the event a default occurs. We have not made any payments under the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so, and do not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Investments, exclusive of settlement assets, with original maturities of 90 days or less that are readily convertible to cash are considered to be cash equivalents as reflected within our consolidated balance sheets.
The table below details our cash and cash equivalents held at:

(In millions) | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, interest rates, inflation, currency exchange rates, indices, correlations or other market factors, such as liquidity, will result in losses for a certain financial instrument or group of financial instruments. Our senior management actively monitors certain market risks to which we are exposed, primarily from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In order to limit our exposure to these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments with creditworthy institutions to hedge against changing interest rates and foreign currency rate fluctuations. We currently utilize forward exchange contracts, fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and other non-derivative hedging instruments to manage risk.
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our international operations to the extent they are conducted in local currency. The major currencies to which our operations are exposed are the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Euro and Indian Rupee. Changes in the value of underlying monetary assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investments and foreign currency transactions in highly inflationary economies, primarily Argentina, may result in foreign currency exchange losses. We also have exposure to risks related to currency devaluation in certain countries, including Argentina, which may negatively impact our international operating results if there is a prolonged devaluation of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or if the economic conditions in these countries decline.
Additional information about market risks to which we are exposed is included within Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative analyses about market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we or our subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against us. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
