Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Equity Method Investment | Equity Method Investment As discussed in Note 1, the Company completed the 2024 Worldpay Sale on January 31, 2024, retaining a non-controlling equity interest in Worldpay. We account for our 45% minority ownership in Worldpay using the equity method of accounting. Beginning on February 1, 2024, the Company's share of the net income of Worldpay and our investor-level tax impact is reported as Equity method investment earnings (loss), net of tax, in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 we received distributions of $147 million and $47 million, respectively. As also discussed in Note 1, on January 9, 2026, FIS completed its previously announced sale of its remaining equity interests in Worldpay for a pre-tax amount of $5.8 billion, net of transaction fees and other costs. We continued to account for our non-controlling 45% equity interest in Worldpay using the equity method of accounting through the closing date of the transactions. As a result of the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale, we expect to recognize an estimated pre-tax gain of $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026, representing the excess of the net selling price over the estimated carrying value of the Worldpay equity method investment as of the date of closing, adjusted for the impact of our share of Worldpay's cumulative translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss). The estimated gain remains subject to change based on customary post-closing purchase price adjustments and final determination of these amounts, and the final gain could differ materially from the current estimate. Summary Worldpay financial information is as follows (in millions):

Statement of Earnings (Loss) | December 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
Revenue | $ | 5,476 |  |  | $ | 4,732 |
Gross profit | $ | 2,687 |  |  | $ | 2,422 |
Earnings (loss) before income taxes | $ | (434) |  |  | $ | (342) |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Worldpay | $ | (496) |  |  | $ | (444) |
FIS share of net earnings (loss) attributable to Worldpay, net of tax (1) | $ | (526) |  |  | $ | (145) |
(1)For the year ended December 31, 2025, and eleven months ended December 31, 2024, this amount is net of $(307) million and $67 million, respectively, of investor-level tax benefit (expense), as well as intra-entity eliminations for timing differences between the Company and Worldpay's recognition of profits and losses on related-party transactions. The investor-level tax for the year ended December 31, 2025, includes $383 million of expense related to an increase to our deferred tax liability. This remeasurement resulted from our agreement to sell our remaining interest in Worldpay, which constituted a change in our intent to hold the investment for the long term, as well as our best estimate of the ordinary versus capital characterization of the expected proceeds. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the deferred tax liability recognized in connection with our Worldpay equity method investment reflects the difference between the investment's current book value and its tax basis. As discussed in Note 1, the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale was completed on January 9, 2026, and the tax due will be based on the excess of sales proceeds over the tax basis and a number of other factors, including the valuation of assets held in Worldpay, how the form of the transaction was effectuated and the final purchase price allocation. The continued assessment of these factors and their potential impact on the ordinary versus capital characterization of the expected proceeds could result in a material change to the realizability of the deferred tax assets for U.S. capital loss carryforwards and the final tax computed on the sale.

Continuing Involvement with Discontinued Operations and Related-Party Transactions We have continuing involvement with Worldpay, primarily through our remaining interest, a transition services agreement ("TSA"), and various other commercial agreements. Under the terms of the TSA, the Company is procuring certain third-party services on behalf of Worldpay and providing technology infrastructure, risk and security, accounting and various other corporate services to Worldpay for a period of up to 24 months after January 31, 2024, subject to a six-month extension, and Worldpay is providing various corporate services to the Company, allowing us to maintain access to certain resources transferred in the 2024 Worldpay Sale. Effective upon the closing of the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale (the "Closing"), the TSA was amended to extend the term until June 30, 2027, subject to further extension for a period of up to 24 months following the Closing. Several of the commercial agreements between FIS and Worldpay were also amended to extend their services to Global Payments upon the Closing. The TSA and commercial agreement amendments also provide for certain annual purchase commitments. Third-party pass-through costs of $63 million and $159 million, during the year ended December 31, 2025 and eleven months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, were incurred under the TSA, and were netted against the equal and offsetting reimbursement amounts due from Worldpay. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and eleven months ended December 31, 2024, net TSA services income of $86 million and $142 million were recognized in Other operating (income) expense, net - related party, with approximately two-thirds of the corresponding expense recorded in Cost of revenue and the remainder recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). Revenue earned during the year ended December 31, 2025 and eleven months ended December 31, 2024, from various commercial services provided to Worldpay was $187 million and $140 million, respectively. Under our former short-term employee leasing agreement ("ELA") with Worldpay, there were no pass-through costs during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $247 million of pass-through costs were incurred and netted against the equal and offsetting reimbursement amounts due from Worldpay during the eleven months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, and eleven months ended December 31, 2024, we collected net cash of $414 million and $704 million, respectively, related to the ELA, TSA and commercial agreements with Worldpay. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a receivable of $39 million and $84 million, respectively, in Receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheet in connection with the TSA and commercial agreements. Under the TSA and commercial agreements, amounts are generally invoiced monthly in arrears and are payable by electronic transfer within 30 days of invoice. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we also recorded other payables to Worldpay of $24 million and $25 million, respectively, in Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. These amounts are generally payable within 30 days. Prior to the 2024 Worldpay Sale, the Company issued standby letters of credit and made parental guarantees (collectively "Guarantees") in the ordinary course of its business to various counterparties on behalf of certain former subsidiaries included in the 2024 Worldpay Sale, including a guarantee of a liability that a Worldpay subsidiary owes to the former owners of Worldpay Group plc (the "CVR Liability"). Effective upon the closing of the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale, FIS and Worldpay agreed to maintain these Guarantees through December 31, 2026, affording Worldpay time to arrange for alternatives to the Guarantees. Worldpay’s aggregate amount of borrowing capacity under the standby letters of credit guaranteed by FIS was $294 million and $273 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no amounts drawn under the standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Worldpay’s CVR liability due on October 12, 2027, was $378 million. There is no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the other remaining Guarantees, and such maximum potential amount of future payments under the other remaining Guarantees cannot be estimated due to the conditional nature of the Company's obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement. As of December 31, 2025, there are no amounts drawn under any of the Guarantees. In the event a Worldpay subsidiary were to default on a performance obligation covered by the Guarantees, the Company could be required to make payment or be subject to claims; however, in any such case, Worldpay is required under the terms of the agreement governing the 2024 Worldpay Sale to fully reimburse and indemnify the Company. The Company considers the likelihood of incurring a loss under the Guarantees to be remote, and no amounts have been accrued with respect to these Guarantees.
