2024 Business Combinations

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed acquisitions of three businesses for total cash consideration, net of cash acquired, of $514 million. These acquisitions were recorded as business combinations. The results of operations and financial position of the acquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements subsequent to the closing of each acquisition. We recorded an allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values, consisting primarily of $83 million of customer relationships and $153 million of software assets. The Company also recorded $351 million of goodwill for the residual amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The purchase price allocations are provisional as of December 31, 2024, and the Company expects to finalize them as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from each of the respective acquisition dates. There were no significant business combinations, individually or in the aggregate, completed during 2023 and 2022.

Virtus Acquisition

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