NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business, consolidation and presentation - We are a leading payments technology company delivering innovative software and services to our customers globally. Our technologies, services and team member expertise allow us to provide a broad range of solutions that enable our customers to operate their businesses more efficiently across a variety of channels around the world. We operate in two reportable segments: Merchant Solutions and Issuer Solutions. As described in "Note 3—Business Dispositions," during the second quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of the consumer portion of our Netspend business, which comprised our former Consumer Solutions segment. Our consolidated financial statements include the results of our former Consumer Solutions segment for periods prior to disposition. See "Note 15—Segment Information" for further information. Global Payments Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as "Global Payments," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us," unless the context requires otherwise.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of our management, all known adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. In particular, uncertainty resulting from global events and other macroeconomic conditions are difficult to predict at this time, and the ultimate effect could result in additional charges related to the recoverability of assets, including financial assets, long-lived assets and goodwill and other losses. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the financial statement effects based upon management’s estimates and assumptions utilizing the most currently available information.
NOTE 2—ACQUISITION
EVO Payments, Inc.
On March 24, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of EVO Payments, Inc. (“EVO”). EVO is a leading payment technology and services provider, offering an array of payment solutions to merchants ranging from small and middle market enterprises to multinational companies and organizations across the Americas and Europe. The acquisition aligns with our technology-enabled payments strategy, expands our geographic presence in attractive markets and augments our business-to-business software and payment solutions business.

Total purchase consideration was $4.3 billion, which consisted of the following (in thousands):

Cash paid to EVO shareholders (1) |  | $ | 3,273,951 |
Cash paid for equity awards attributable to purchase consideration (2) |  | 58,510 |
Value of replacement awards attributable to purchase consideration (3) |  | 2,484 |
Total purchase consideration transferred to EVO shareholders |  | 3,334,945 |
Repayment of EVO's unsecured revolving credit facility (including accrued interest and fees) |  | 665,557 |
Payment of certain acquiree transaction costs and other liabilities on behalf of EVO (4) |  | 269,118 |
Total purchase consideration |  | $ | 4,269,620 |

(1) Holders of EVO common stock, convertible preferred stock and common units received $34 for each share of EVO common stock held at the effective time of the transaction.
(2) Pursuant to the merger agreement, we cash settled vested options and certain unvested equity awards of EVO equity award holders.
(3) Pursuant to the merger agreement, we granted equity awards for approximately 0.3 million shares of Global Payments common stock to certain EVO equity awards holders. Each such replacement award is subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability) that applied to the corresponding EVO equity award. We apportioned the fair value of the replacement awards between purchase consideration (the portion attributable to pre-acquisition services in relation to the total vesting term of the award) and amounts to be recognized in periods following the acquisition as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the replacement awards.
(4) Certain acquiree transaction costs and liabilities, including amounts outstanding under EVO’s tax receivable agreement, were required to be repaid by us upon consummation of the acquisition.

The cash portion of the purchase consideration was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
The provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 30, 2023, including a reconciliation to the total purchase consideration, were as follows:

| Provisional Amounts at Acquisition Date |  | Measurement-period Adjustments |  | Provisional Amounts at June 30, 2023
| (in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 324,859 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 324,859 |
Accounts receivable | 105,680 |  |  | (399) |  |  | 105,281 |
Settlement processing assets | 125,061 |  |  | (77) |  |  | 124,984 |
Deferred income tax assets | 15,464 |  |  | — |  |  | 15,464 |
Property and equipment | 83,540 |  |  | (4,261) |  |  | 79,279 |
Identifiable intangible assets | 1,208,400 |  |  | 360,600 |  |  | 1,569,000 |
Other assets | 157,166 |  |  | (4,080) |  |  | 153,086 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (277,800) |  |  | (4,488) |  |  | (282,288) |
Settlement lines of credit | (11,371) |  |  | — |  |  | (11,371) |
Settlement processing obligations | (199,161) |  |  | — |  |  | (199,161) |
Deferred income tax liabilities | (168,098) |  |  | (80,486) |  |  | (248,584) |
Other liabilities | (58,089) |  |  | (722) |  |  | (58,811) |
Total identifiable net assets | 1,305,651 |  |  | 266,087 |  |  | 1,571,738 |
Redeemable noncontrolling interests | (556,070) |  |  | 56,447 |  |  | (499,623) |
Goodwill | 3,520,039 |  |  | (322,534) |  |  | 3,197,505 |
Total purchase consideration | $ | 4,269,620 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4,269,620 |

As of June 30, 2023, we considered these amounts to be provisional because we were still in the process of gathering and reviewing information to support the valuations of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and related tax positions. We made measurement-period adjustments as shown in the table above, and the effects of the measurement-period adjustments on our consolidated statement of income for the second quarter of 2023 were not material.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition was included in the Merchant Solutions segment as of June 30, 2023 and was attributable to expected growth opportunities, potential synergies from combining the acquired business into our existing business and an assembled workforce. We expect that a portion of the goodwill from this acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes. As the amounts are still provisional, we are still in the process of assigning goodwill to our reporting units.

The historical revenue and earnings of EVO were not material for the purpose of presenting pro forma information. In addition, transaction costs associated with this business combination were not material.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS
Gaming Business. On April 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our gaming business for approximately $400 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The gaming business was included in our Merchant Solutions segment prior to disposition, and had been presented as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet since December 31, 2022. In connection with the sale, we provided $32 million of seller financing as described below. We recognized a gain on the sale of $104.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and the sale is subject to certain additional final closing adjustments. The gain was presented within gain on business dispositions in the consolidated statement of income.
Consumer Business. On April 26, 2023, we completed the sale of the consumer portion of our Netspend business for approximately $1 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments. The consumer business comprised our former Consumer Solutions segment prior to disposition, and had been presented as held for sale with certain adjustments to report the disposal group at fair value less costs to sell in our consolidated balance sheet since June 30, 2022. In connection with the sale, we provided $675 million of seller financing as described below. We recognized a gain (loss) on business dispositions in our consolidated statement of income of $1.6 million and $(243.2) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The gain (loss) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included the effects of incremental negotiated closing adjustments, changes in the estimated fair value of the seller financing and the effects of the final tax structure of the transaction. As further discussed in "Note 5— Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $833.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 related to our former Business and Consumer Solutions reporting unit. We also recognized a charge of $25.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to reduce the disposal group to estimated fair value less costs to sell, which was presented within net loss on business dispositions in our consolidated statement of income.
Notes Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
In connection with the sale of our consumer business, we provided seller financing consisting of the following: (1) a first lien seven-year secured term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount of $350 million bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 9.0%, including 3.5% payable quarterly in cash and 5.5% settled quarterly via the issuance of additional paid-in-kind ("PIK") notes with the same terms as the original notes until December 2024, after which interest will be payable quarterly in cash along with quarterly principal payments of $4.375 million with the remaining balance due at maturity; and (2) a second lien twenty-five year secured term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount of $325 million bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 13.0% PIK due at maturity. The aggregate fair value of the first and second lien term loans upon the closing of the transaction was $653.9 million, calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. In addition, we provided the purchasers a five-year $50 million secured revolving facility available from the date of closing of the sale, bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 9.0% payable quarterly in cash. In connection with the sale of our gaming business, we also provided seller financing consisting of an unsecured promissory note due April 1, 2030 with an aggregate principal amount of $32 million bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 11.0%.
We classify the notes as held for investment based on the intent and ability to hold for foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, and the notes are presented at amortized cost within notes receivable in our consolidated balance sheet. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method, which includes the accretion of the difference between the fair value at inception and the face value of the notes. We recognized interest income of $14.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as a component of interest and other income in the consolidated statements of income. The issuance of the notes in connection with the sale transactions was a noncash investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents
We are exposed to credit losses on the notes. We utilize a probability-of-default and loss given default method to develop an estimate of current expected credit losses applied at the loan level. A variety of factors are considered to estimate the expected credit loss, including the probability of default (representing the probability the asset will default within a given time frame), the loss given default (representing the percentage of the asset that is not expected to be collected due to default), leverage ratios, interest rates, market and industry data, and forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The estimation process also includes consideration of qualitative and quantitative risk factors associated with expected timing of payment, industry trends and current and anticipated future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are estimated over the life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. Upon issuance of the notes in connection with the sales of the two businesses, we recognized an allowance for credit losses and a noncash charge of $18.2 million, which is included as a component of interest and other expenses in our consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, there was an aggregate principal amount of $769.2 million outstanding on the notes, including PIK, and the notes are presented net of the allowance for credit losses of $18.2 million within notes receivable in our consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the notes receivable was $714.4 million as of June 30, 2023. The estimated fair value of notes receivable was based on a discounted cash flow approach and is considered to be a Level 3 measurement of the valuation hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale. The assets and liabilities of our consumer and gaming businesses were classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. The major classes of assets presented as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 included cash of $70.6 million, accounts receivable of $18.4 million, other current assets of $42.3 million, goodwill of $529.5 million, other intangible assets of $717.9 million, property and equipment of $82.9 million, other noncurrent assets of $44.9 million and an asset group valuation allowance of $71.9 million. The major classes of liabilities presented as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 included accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $125.9 million and other noncurrent liabilities of $4.5 million.
Sale of Merchant Solutions Business in Russia. We sold our Merchant Solutions business in Russia effective April 29, 2022 for cash proceeds of $9 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a loss of $127.2 million associated with the sale, comprised of the difference between the consideration received and the net carrying amount of the business and the reclassification of $63 million of associated accumulated foreign currency translation losses from the separate component of equity. The loss was presented within net loss on business dispositions in our consolidated statement of income.

ASC Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") requires that we determine for each customer arrangement whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, substantially all of our revenues were recognized over time.
Supplemental balance sheet information related to contracts from customers as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:

Net contract assets were not material at June 30, 2023 or at December 31, 2022. Revenue recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 from contract liability balances at the beginning of each period was $85.2 million and $83.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 from contract liability balances at the beginning of each period was $142.9 million and $149.8 million, respectively.
ASC 606 requires disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations. The purpose of this disclosure is to provide additional information about the amounts and expected timing of revenue to be recognized from the remaining performance obligations in our existing contracts. The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at June 30, 2023. However, as permitted, we have elected to exclude from this disclosure any contracts with an original duration of one year or less and any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. Accordingly, the total amount

We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. When applying the quantitative assessment, we determine the fair value of our reporting units based on a weighted average of multiple valuation techniques, principally a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach calculates a value based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows, while the market approach uses earnings multiples of similarly situated guideline public companies. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves judgment 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.
During the second quarter of 2022, the sustained decline in our share price and recent increases in discount rates, primarily resulting from increased economic uncertainty, indicated a potential decline in fair value and triggered a requirement to evaluate our Issuer Solutions and former Business and Consumer Solutions reporting units for potential impairment as of June 30, 2022. Further, the estimated sales price for the consumer business portion of our former Business and Consumer Solutions reporting unit also indicated a potential decline in fair value as of June 30, 2022. We determined on the basis of the quantitative assessment that the fair value of the Issuer Solutions reporting unit was still greater than its carrying amount as of June 30, 2022, indicating no impairment. Based on the quantitative assessment of the former Business and Consumer Solutions reporting unit, including consideration of the consumer business disposal group and the remaining assets of the reporting unit,

Senior Notes
On March 17, 2023, we issued €800 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due March 2031 and received net proceeds of €790.6 million, or $843.6 million based on the exchange rate on the issuance date. We issued the senior notes at a discount of $2.8 million, and we incurred debt issuance costs of $7.2 million, including underwriting fees, professional services fees and registration fees, which were capitalized and reflected as a reduction of the related carrying amount of the notes in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023. Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable annually in arrears on March 17 of each year, commencing March 17, 2024. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we used borrowings under the revolving credit facility to fund the redemption in full of the 3.750% and 4.000% senior unsecured notes that were due June 1, 2023.
Commercial Paper
In January 2023, we established a $2.0 billion commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. Commercial paper notes are expected to be issued at a discount from par, or they may bear interest, each at commercial paper market rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from issuances of commercial paper notes will be used primarily for general corporate purposes but may also be used for acquisitions, to pay dividends, for debt refinancing or for other purposes.
As of June 30, 2023, we had net borrowings under our comm ercial paper program of $1,841.7 million outstanding, presented within long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet based on our intent and ability to continually refinance on a long-term basis, with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.96%. The commercial program is backstopped by our revolving credit agreement, in that the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding cannot exceed the undrawn portion of our revolving credit facility. As suc h, we could draw on the revolving credit facility to repay commercial paper notes that cannot be rolled over or refinanced with similar debt.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
As of June 30, 2023, our senior notes had a total carrying amount of $11.6 billion and an estimated fair value of $10.6 billion. The estimated fair value of our senior notes was based on quoted market prices in an active market and is considered to be a Level 1 measurement of the valuation hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2023, our convertible notes had a total carrying amount of $1.4 billion and an estimated fair value of $1.4 billion. The estimated fair value of our convertible notes was based on a lattice pricing model and is considered to be a Level 3 measurement of the valuation hierarchy.
The fair value of other long-term debt approximated its carrying amount at June 30, 2023.
Compliance with Covenants
The convertible notes include customary covenants and events of default for convertible notes of this type. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on net leverage and interest coverage ratios, and customary events of default. The required leverage ratio was increased to 4.50 to 1.00 as a result of the qualifying acquisition of EVO, which will remain in effect for up to eight consecutive quarters with a gradual step-down to 3.75 to 1.00, and the required interest coverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2023.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $172.3 million and $97.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $291.3 million and $186.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
NOTE 7—DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Net Investment Hedge
We have designated our aggregate €800 million Euro-denominated senior notes due March 2031 as a hedge of our net investment in our Euro-denominated operations. The purpose of the net investment hedge is to reduce the volatility of our net investment in our Euro-denominated operations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Investments in foreign operations with functional currencies other than the reporting currency are subject to foreign currency risk as the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the reporting currency at the period-end rate of exchange with the resulting foreign currency translation adjustment presented as a component of other comprehensive income and included in accumulated comprehensive income within equity in our consolidated balance sheets. Net investment hedge accounting offers protection from this risk, and the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses associated with the Euro-denominated senior notes are presented within the same components of other comprehensive income and accumulated comprehensive income.
We recognized a gain (loss) of $1.8 million and $(16.5) million within foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Interest Rate Swaps
We have interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions to hedge changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk on a portion of our variable-rate debt instruments. In the first quarter of 2023, we entered into new interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion to convert eligible borrowings under our revolving credit facility from a floating term Secured Overnight Financing Rate to a fixed rate. Net amounts to be received or paid under the swap agreements are reflected as adjustments to interest expense. Since we have designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash

Table of Contents
flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses resulting from adjusting the swaps to fair value are recorded as components of other comprehensive income. The fair values of our interest rate swaps were determined based on the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using implied rates in the applicable yield curve as of the valuation date. These derivative instruments were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The table below presents information about our interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, included in the consolidated balance sheets:

Derivative Financial Instruments |  | Balance Sheet Location |  | Weighted-Average Fixed Rate of Interest at June 30, 2023 |  | Range of Maturity Dates at June 30, 2023 |  | June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022

The table below presents the effects of our interest rate swaps on the consolidated statements of income and statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended

Net unrealized gains (losses) reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense | $ | 901 |  |  | $ | (7,534) |  |  | $ | (485) |  |  | $ | (16,979) |

As of June 30, 2023, the amount of net unrealized gains in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to our interest rate swaps that is expected to be reclassified into interest expense during the next 12 months was $9.4 million.
NOTE 8—INCOME TAX
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported a tax expense of 39.2% and 36.7%, respectively, of the reported income before taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, tax expense was greater than the U.S. statutory tax rate as a result of a gain on the dispositions of our consumer and gaming businesses for income tax reporting purposes, while a net loss on the dispositions was recognized for financial reporting purposes. These effects were partially offset by the favorable effect on the rate of foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred income tax expense in spite of reporting a loss before income taxes, primarily due to the unfavorable effects of the goodwill impairment charge and loss on the sale of our Merchant Solutions business in Russia for which no tax benefit was recognized. These unfavorable effects were partially offset by the favorable effects of foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act into law, which, among other things, implemented a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax based on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases effective beginning January 1, 2023. We do not expect the corporate alternative minimum tax will have a material effect on our reported results, cash flows or financial position. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reflected excise taxes of $2.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, within equity as part of the price of common stock repurchased during the periods.
NOTE 9—REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Through the acquisition of EVO, we have certain redeemable noncontrolling interests related to the portion of equity in our consolidated subsidiaries in Poland, Greece, and Chile, not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us, that is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control.
We own 66% of our subsidiary in Poland, 51% of our subsidiary in Greece and 50.1% of our subsidiary in Chile. Under the shareholder agreements, the minority shareholders have the option to compel us to purchase their shares at a price per share based on the fair value of the shares, or under certain limited circumstances, at a price determined as stipulated in the shareholder agreement. The option held by the minority shareholder in Poland expires on January 1, 2024. The other options have no expiration date.
Because the exercise of each of these redemption options is not solely within our control, the redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented in the mezzanine section between total liabilities and shareholders’ equity, as temporary equity, in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The redeemable noncontrolling interest for each subsidiary is reflected at the higher of: (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest's share of comprehensive income (loss), c apital contributions and distributions or (ii) the redemption price. Estimates of redemption price are based on projected operating performance of each subsidiary, including key assumptions - revenue growth rates, current and expected market conditions and weighted-average cost of capital.
NOTE 10—SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
We repurchase our common stock mainly through open market repurchase plans and, at times, through accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") programs. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased and retired 2,006,016 and 4,523,563 shares of our common stock, respectively, at a cost, including commissions and applicable excise taxes, of $207.5 million and $600.3 million, or $103.44 and $132.64 per share, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased and retired 4,064,918 and 9,039,189 shares of our common stock, respectively, at a cost, including commissions and applicable excise taxes, of $414.0 million and $1,250.0 million, or $101.86 and $138.29 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining amount available under our share repurchase program was $1,090.2 million.
On July 27, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on September 29, 2023 to common shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023.

Table of Contents
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted, including replacement awards granted in connection with the EVO acquisition, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $46.17 and $48.88, respectively. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

| Six Months Ended
| June 30, 2023 |  | June 30, 2022
Risk-free interest rate | 3.84% |  | 1.87%
Expected volatility | 45% |  | 40%
Dividend yield | 0.81% |  | 0.56%
Expected term (years) | 5 |  | 5

The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option from the date of the grant. Our assumption on expected volatility was based on our historical volatility. The dividend yield assumption was determined using our average stock price over the preceding year and the annualized amount of our most current quarterly dividend per share. We based our assumptions on the expected term of the options on our analysis of the historical exercise patterns of the options and our assumption on the future exercise pattern of options.
NOTE 12—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Global Payments by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Earnings available to common shareholders was the same as reported net income (loss) attributable to Global Payments for all periods presented.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Global Payments by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of share-based awards, convertible notes or other potential securities that would have a dilutive effect on EPS. All stock options with an exercise price lower than the average market share price of our common stock for the period are assumed to have a dilutive effect on EPS. The dilutive share base for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 excluded approximately 0.9 million shares related to stock options that would have an antidilutive effect on the computation of diluted earnings per share. Due to a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no incremental shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive. Approximately 2.0 million shares related to stock options and share-based awards were therefore excluded from the diluted share base for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
The effect of the potential shares needed to settle the conversion spread on the convertible notes is included in diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The effect depends on the market share price of our common stock at the time of conversion and would be dilutive if the average market share price of our common stock for the period exceeds the conversion price. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the convertible notes were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Further, the effect of the related capped call transactions is not included in the computation of diluted EPS as it is always anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 - SUPPLEMENTAL BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. We regularly maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit or the equivalent outside the U.S. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 75% of our total balance of cash and cash equivalents was held within a small group of financial institutions, primarily large money center banks. Although we currently believe that the financial institutions with whom we do business will be able to fulfill their commitments to us, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so. We have not experienced any losses associated with our balances in such accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Restricted cash includes amounts that cannot be withdrawn or used for general operating activities under legal or regulatory restrictions. Restricted cash consists of amounts deposited by customers for prepaid card transactions and funds held as a liquidity reserve that are subject to local regulatory restrictions requiring appropriate segregation and restriction in their use. Restricted cash is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
A reconciliation of the amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets to the amount in the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:

NOTE 15—SEGMENT INFORMATION
During 2022, as a result of the pending divestiture of the consumer business and changes in how the business is managed, we realigned the businesses previously comprising our Business and Consumer Solutions segment to include the business-to-business portion within our Issuer Solutions segment and the consumer portion forming our Consumer Solutions segment. The presentation of segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2022 has been recast to align with the segment presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As described in "Note 3 - Business Dispositions," during the second quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of the consumer portion of our Netspend business, which comprised of our former Consumer Solutions segment. Our reportable segments now include: Merchant Solutions and Issuer Solutions. Our former Consumer Solutions segment is presented below for periods prior to disposition.
We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on the operating income of each operating segment. The operating income of each operating segment includes the revenues of the segment less expenses that are directly related to those revenues. Operating overhead, shared costs and share-based compensation costs are included in Corporate. Impairment of goodwill and

gains or losses on business dispositions are not included in segment operating income. Interest and other income, interest and other expense, income tax expense and equity in income of equity method investments, net of tax, are not allocated to the individual segments.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
We are party to a number of claims and lawsuits incidental to our business.

ITEM 2—MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our plans and expectations of what may happen in the future. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements.
Executive Overview
We are a leading payments technology company delivering innovative software and services to our customers globally. Our technologies, services and team member expertise allow us to provide a broad range of solutions that enable our customers to operate their businesses more efficiently across a variety of channels around the world.
We have grown organically, as well as through acquisitions, and continue to invest in new technology solutions and innovation, infrastructure to support our growing business and the ongoing consolidation and enhancement of our operating platforms. These investments include new product development and innovation to further enhance and differentiate our suite of technology and cloud-based solutions available to customers, along with migration of certain underlying technology platforms to cloud environments to enhance performance, improve speed to market and drive cost efficiencies. We also continue to execute on integration and other activities, such as combining business operations, streamlining technology infrastructure, eliminating duplicative corporate and operational support structures and realizing scale efficiencies.
We have furthered our business strategy through several recent key transactions, including the following:
•On March 24, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of EVO Payments, Inc. ("EVO") for total purchase consideration of $4.3 billion. EVO is a leading payment technology and services provider, offering an array of payment solutions to merchants ranging from small and middle market enterprises to multinational companies and organizations across the Americas and Europe. The cash portion of the purchase consideration was funded through cash on hand and borrowings from our revolving credit facility.
•On April 26, 2023, we completed the sale of the consumer portion of our Netspend business for approximately $1 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments. In connection with the sale, we provided $675 million of seller financing and a five-year $50 million secured revolving facility available from the date of closing of the sale. We recognized a gain (loss) on business dispositions in our consolidated statement of income of $1.6 million and $(243.2) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, related to the consumer business disposal group.
•On April 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our gaming business for approximately $400.0 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. In connection with the sale, we provided $32 million of seller financing. We recognized a gain of $104.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 in connection with the sale.
•Our capital allocation priorities were supported by the issuance of Euro-denominated senior notes and the launch of a commercial paper program during the first quarter of 2023.
◦On March 17, 2023, we issued €800 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due March 2031 and received net proceeds of €790.6 million, or $843.6 million based on the exchange rate on the issuance date. The net proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes.
◦In January 2023, we established a $2.0 billion commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The program is backstopped by our revolving credit agreement, in that the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding cannot exceed the undrawn portion on the revolving credit facility. The proceeds from issuances of
31

Table of Contents
commercial paper notes will be used for acquisitions, to pay dividends, for debt refinancing or for other general corporate purposes.
Highlights related to our financial condition at June 30, 2023 and results of operations for the three and six months then ended include the following:
•Consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to $2,452.5 million and $4,744.9 million, respectively, compared to $2,280.9 million and $4,437.2 million, respectively, for the prior year. The increase in consolidated revenues was primarily due to an increase in transaction volumes and revenues from the recently acquired EVO business, partially offset by the effects on revenue of the divested businesses.
•Merchant Solutions segment operating income and Issuer Solutions segment operating income and operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the favorable effects of the increase in revenues, since certain fixed costs do not vary with revenues, and continued prudent expense management.
•Consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included the favorable effects of the gain on sale of the gaming business disposition as described above, partially offset by an increase in acquisition and integration expenses as compared to the prior year, primarily related to the acquisition of EVO. Consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 also included the effects of the loss on sale of the consumer business as described above.
Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions
We are exposed to general economic conditions, including currency fluctuations, inflation, rising interest rates and health and social events or other conditions that affect the overall level of consumer, business and government spending, which could negatively affect our financial performance.
Certain of our operations are conducted in foreign currencies. Consequently, a portion of our revenues and expenses has been and may continue to be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. A continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar or other significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in an adverse effect on our future financial results; however, we are unable to predict the extent of the potential effect on our financial results.
We have reduced our interest rate risk through issuance of fixed rate debt in place of variable rate debt, including the effect of interest rate swap hedging arrangements to convert a significant portion of the eligible variable rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility to a fixed rate. However, inflationary pressure or interest rate fluctuations could adversely affect our business and financial performance as a result of higher costs and/or lower consumer spending. In addition, continued inflation or a rise in interest rates could result in an adverse effect on our future financial results and the recoverability of assets. However, as the future magnitude, duration and effects of these conditions are difficult to predict at this time, we are unable to predict the extent of the potential effect on our financial results.
In addition, failures of several financial institutions, including Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse, have created uncertainty in the global financial markets and a greater focus on the potential failure of other banks in the future. Although we do not have exposure to and did not experience losses as a result of these failures, we regularly maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit or the equivalent outside the U.S. A disruption in financial markets could impair our banking partners, which could affect our ability to access our cash or cash equivalents, our ability to provide settlement services or our customers' ability to access their existing cash to fulfill their payment obligations to us. The occurrence of these events could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For a further discussion of trends, uncertainties and other factors that could affect our future operating results, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent filings we make with the SEC.

Results of Operations
During 2022, as a result of then pending divestiture of our consumer business and changes in how the business is managed, we realigned the businesses previously comprising our Business and Consumer Solutions segment to include the business-to-business portion within our Issuer Solutions segment and the consumer portion forming our Consumer Solutions segment. The presentation of segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2022 has been recast to align with the segment presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As described in “Note 3 – Business Dispositions” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, during the second quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of the consumer portion of our Netspend business, which comprised our former Consumer Solutions segment. Our reportable segments now include: Merchant Solutions and Issuer Solutions. Our former Consumer Solutions segment is presented below for periods prior to disposition. For further information about our reportable segments, see “Item 1. Business—Business Segments” within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, incorporated herein by reference, and “Note 15—Segment Information” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in transaction volumes and revenues from the recently acquired EVO business.
Merchant Solutions Segment. Revenues from our Merchant Solutions segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 16.5% and 12.9%, respectively, to $1,842.3 million and $3,447.9 million, respectively, compared to $1,581.7 million and $3,054.7 million, respectively, for the prior year.

Revenues from our Issuer Solutions segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 5.5% and 5.9%, respectively, to $590.4 million and $1,161.3 million, respectively, compared to $559.6 million and $1,097.0 million, respectively, for the prior year. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in transaction volumes.
Consumer Solutions Segment. Revenues from our Consumer Solutions segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were $39.0 million and $182.7 million, respectively, compared to $161.6 million and $330.7 million, respectively, for the prior year.

Operating Expenses
Cost of Service. Cost of service for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $942.0 million and $1,889.7 million, respectively, compared to $962.3 million and $1,919.5 million, respectively, for the prior year. Cost of service as a percentage of revenues decreased to 38.4% and 39.8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 42.2% and 43.3%, respectively, for the prior year. Compared to the prior year, cost of service for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased primarily due to prudent expense management and inclusion of costs related to the divested businesses for only a portion of the current year, partially offset by effect of the recently acquired EVO business. Cost of service included amortization of acquired intangibles of $344.4 million and $327.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $645.7 million and $656.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization of acquired intangibles for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased as a result of the recently acquired EVO business, and amortization of acquired intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included the favorable effects of lower amortization of acquired intangibles of the divested consumer and gaming business assets.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 17.4% and 22.0%, respectively, to $1,013.5 million and $2,056.6 million, respectively, compared to $863.2 million and $1,686.3 million, respectively, for the prior year.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in variable selling and other costs related to the increase in revenues, including due to the recently acquired EVO business, acquisition and integration expenses related primarily to the acquisition of EVO, higher compensation and benefits costs, including an increase in share-based compensation expense for retirement eligible executives and our previous CEO, whose departure was announced on May 1, 2023, and other costs related to the sale of the consumer business. Selling, general and administrative expenses included acquisition and integration expenses of $67.5 million and $61.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $168.9 million and $112.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Operating Income and Operating Margin
Consolidated operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $602.7 million and $659.5 million, respectively, compared to $529.9 million and $153.9 million, respectively, for the prior year. Operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 24.6% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to negative margins for the prior year. Consolidated operating income and operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year included the favorable effects of the increase in revenues, since certain fixed costs do not vary with revenues, and a $104.1 million gain on sale of the gaming business, partially offset by higher acquisition and integration and compensation expenses as described above. Consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 also included the effects of the net loss of $243.2 million on the consumer business disposition, to reduce the carrying amount of the disposal group to estimated fair value less costs to sell, including the effects of incremental negotiated closing adjustments, changes in the estimated fair value of the seller financing and the effects of the final tax structure of the transaction. The gain (loss) on the sale of the gaming and consumer businesses is presented within gain (loss) on business dispositions in our consolidated statement of income.
Consolidated operating loss and negative operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included the effects of the $127.2 million loss on the sale of our Merchant Solutions business in Russia and the $833.1 million goodwill impairment charge related to our former Business and Consumer Solutions reporting unit. We also recognized a charge of $25.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to reduce the disposal group to estimated fair value less costs to sell, which is presented within net loss on business dispositions in our consolidated statement of income.
Segment Operating Income and Operating Margin
In our Merchant Solutions segment, operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the favorable effect of the increase in revenues, since certain fixed costs do not vary with revenues, and continued prudent expense management. These favorable effects were partially offset by incremental expenses related to continued investment in new product, innovation and our technology environments. In addition, the inclusion of the recently acquired operations of EVO had an unfavorable effect on the Merchant Solutions operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year. In our Issuer Solutions segment, operating income and operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the favorable effect of the increase in revenues, since certain fixed costs do not vary with revenues, and continued prudent expense management.
Other Income/Expense, Net
Interest and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to $27.9 million and $39.1 million, respectively, compared to $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, for the prior year, primarily due to the interest income associated with the new seller financing notes receivable.
Interest and other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to $191.4 million and $314.4 million, respectively, compared to $99.2 million and $192.5 million, respectively, for the prior year as a result of the increase in our average outstanding borrowings, higher average interest rates on outstanding borrowings and a noncash charge of $18.2 million for the estimated future credit losses on the new seller financing notes receivable at the inception dates.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported a tax expense of 39.2% and 36.7%, respectively, of the reported income before taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a gain on the dispositions of our consumer and gaming businesses for income tax reporting purposes, while a net loss on the dispositions was recognized for financial reporting purposes. These effects were partially offset by a higher benefit from foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred income tax expense in spite of reporting a loss before income taxes. We recognized no tax benefit for the goodwill impairment charge and the loss on the sale of our Merchant Solutions business in Russia. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included the favorable effect of a change in the assessment of the need for a valuation allowance related to foreign tax credit carryforwards that did not recur in the current year.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act into law, which, among other things, implemented a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax based on global adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases effective beginning January 1, 2023. We do not expect the corporate alternative minimum tax will have a material effect on our reported results, cash flows or financial position. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reflected excise taxes of $2.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, within equity as part of the price of common stock repurchased during the period.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Global Payments
Net income attributable to Global Payments was $274.1 million and $263.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net loss of $673.0 million and $428.3 million, respectively, for the prior year, reflecting the changes in operating income noted above.
Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Diluted earnings per share was $1.05 and $1.00, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to diluted loss per share of $2.42 and $1.53, respectively, for the prior year. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 reflects the changes in net income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have numerous sources of capital, including cash on hand and cash flows generated from operations as well as various sources of financing. In the ordinary course of our business, a significant portion of our liquidity comes from operating cash flows and borrowings, including the capacity under our revolving credit facility.
Our capital allocation priorities are to make planned capital investments in our business, to pursue acquisitions that meet our corporate objectives, to pay dividends, to pay principal and interest on our outstanding debt and to repurchase shares of our common stock. Our significant contractual cash requirements also include ongoing payments for lease liabilities and contractual obligations related to service arrangements with suppliers for fixed or minimum amounts, which primarily relate to software, technology infrastructure and related services. Commitments under our borrowing arrangements are further described in "Note 6—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and below under "Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit." For additional information regarding our other cash commitments and contractual obligations, see "Note 7—Leases" and “Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Our capital plan objectives are to support our operational needs and strategic plan for long-term growth while optimizing our cost of capital and financial position. To supplement cash from operating activities, we use a combination of bank financing, such as borrowings under our credit facilities, commercial paper program and senior note issuances, for general corporate purposes and to fund acquisitions. Our commercial paper program, established during the first quarter of 2023, provides a cost effective means of satisfying our short-term liquidity needs and is backstopped by our revolving credit agreement, in that the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding cannot exceed the undrawn portion of our revolving credit facility. Finally, specialized lines of credit are also used in certain of our markets to fund merchant settlement prior to receipt of funds from the card networks.
We regularly evaluate our liquidity and capital position relative to cash requirements, and we may elect to raise additional funds in the future through the issuance of debt or equity or by other means. Accumulated cash balances are invested in high-quality, marketable short-term instruments. We believe that our current and projected sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our projected liquidity requirements associated with our operations for the near and long term.

At June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,919.6 million. Of this amount, we considered $683.5 million to be available for general purposes, of which $62.4 million is undistributed foreign earnings considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. The available cash of $683.5 million does not include the following: (i) settlement-related cash balances, (ii) funds held as collateral for merchant losses ("Merchant Reserves") and (iii) funds held for customers. Settlement-related cash balances represent funds that we hold when the incoming amount from the card networks precedes the funding obligation to the merchant. Settlement-related cash balances are not restricted in their use; however, these funds are generally paid out in satisfaction of settlement processing obligations the following day. Merchant Reserves serve as collateral to minimize contingent liabilities associated with any losses that may occur under the merchant's agreement. While this cash is not restricted in its use, we believe that designating this cash as a Merchant Reserve strengthens our fiduciary standing with our member sponsors. Funds held for customers, which are not restricted in their use, include amounts collected before the corresponding obligation is due to be settled to or at the direction of our customers.
We also had restricted cash of $193.3 million as of June 30, 2023, representing amounts deposited by customers for prepaid card transactions and funds held as a liquidity reserve. These balances are subject to local regulatory restrictions requiring appropriate segregation and restriction in their use.
Operating activities provided net cash of $1,164.5 million and $1,198.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which reflect net income adjusted for noncash items, including depreciation, amortization and the provision for credit losses, charges associated with the net loss on business dispositions and facility exit charges, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities from the prior year was due to fluctuations in operating results and related assets and liabilities that are affected primarily by timing of month-end and transaction volume, including changes in settlement processing assets and obligations and accounts payable and other liabilities balances.
We used net cash in investing activities of $4,001.5 million and $363.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash used for investing activities primarily represents cash used to fund acquisitions, net of cash and restricted cash acquired, and capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we used cash of $4,101.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively, for acquisitions. We made capital expenditures of $331.0 million and $324.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These investments include software and hardware to support the development of new technologies, infrastructure to support our growing business and the consolidation and enhancement of our operating platforms. These investments also include new product development and innovation to further enhance and differentiate our suite of technology and cloud-based solutions available to customers. We expect to continue to make significant capital investments in the business, and we anticipate capital expenditures to grow at a similar rate as our revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2023. Additionally, investing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes the net effect on cash from the sale of our consumer and gaming businesses and the issuance of a $50 million secured revolving credit facility available from the date of the sale to the purchasers of the consumer business. Investing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes the net effect on cash from the sale of our Merchant Solutions business in Russia.
Financing activities include borrowings and repayments under our various debt arrangements, as well as borrowings and repayments made under specialized lines of credit to fund daily settlement activities. Our borrowing arrangements are further described in "Note 6—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and below under "Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit." Financing activities also include cash flows associated with common stock repurchase programs and share-based compensation programs, cash distributions made to our shareholders and cash contributions from and distributions to noncontrolling interests. Financing activities provided net cash of $2,701.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and we used net cash in financing activities of $742.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Proceeds from long-term debt were $7,359.2 million and $2,954.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Repayments of long-term debt were $5,673.7 million and $2,276.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Proceeds from and repayments of long-term debt consist of borrowings and repayments that we make with available cash, from time-to-time, under our revolving credit facility, as well as scheduled principal repayments we make on our term loans, finance leases and other vendor financing arrangements. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we also had net borrowings of $1,841.7 million under our commercial paper program. See section "Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" below for further discussion of our recent debt transactions.

Activity under our settlement lines of credit is affected primarily by timing of month-end and transaction volume. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net repayments of settlement lines of credit of $233.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net borrowings from settlement lines of credit of $4.1 million.
We repurchase our common stock mainly through open market repurchase plans and, at times, through accelerated share repurchase programs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we used $414.0 million and $1,250.0 million, respectively, to repurchase shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining amount available under our share repurchase program was $1,090.2 million.
We paid dividends to our common shareholders in the amounts of $130.6 million and $139.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We made distributions to noncontrolling interests in the amount of $17.3 million and $14.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit
Senior Notes
We have $10.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, which mature at various dates ranging from November 2024 to August 2052. Interest on the senior notes is payable annually or semi-annually at various dates. Each series of the senior notes is redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time-to-time at the redemption prices set forth in the related indenture.
On March 17, 2023, we issued €800 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due March 2031 and received net proceeds of €790.6 million, or $843.6 million based on the exchange rate on the issuance date. We issued the senior notes at a discount of $2.8 million, and we incurred debt issuance costs of $7.2 million, including underwriting fees, fees for professional services and registration fees, which were capitalized and reflected as a reduction of the related carrying amount of the notes in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023. Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable annually in arrears on March 17 of each year, commencing March 17, 2024. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we used borrowings under the revolving credit facility to fund the redemption in full of the 3.750% and 4.000% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2023.
Convertible Notes
We have $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.000% convertible notes due 2029, which were issued during 2022 in a private placement pursuant to an investment agreement with Silver Lake Partners.
The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum. Interest on the convertible notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2023, to the holders of record on the preceding February 1 and August 1, respectively. The convertible notes mature on August 15, 2029, subject to earlier conversion or repurchase.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders and other agents, provides for an unsubordinated unsecured $5.75 billion revolving credit facility that matures in August 2027.
We may issue standby letters of credit of up to $250.0 million in the aggregate under the revolving credit facility. Outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility reduce the amount of borrowings available to us. The amounts available to borrow under the revolving credit facility are also determined by a financial leverage covenant. As of June 30,
40

Table of Contents
2023, there were borrowings of $1,981.7 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and the total available commitments under the revolving credit facility were $1.9 billion.
Commercial Paper
In January 2023, we established a $2.0 billion commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The program is backstopped by our revolving credit agreement, in that the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding cannot exceed the undrawn portion of our revolving credit facility. As such, we could draw on the revolving credit facility to repay commercial paper notes that cannot be rolled over or refinanced with similar debt.
Commercial paper notes are expected to be issued at a discount from par, or they may bear interest, each at commercial paper market rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from issuances of commercial paper notes will be used primarily for general corporate purposes but may also be used for acquisitions, to pay dividends, for debt refinancing or for other purposes.
As of June 30, 2023, we had borrowings und er our commercial paper program of $1,841.7 million outstanding with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.96%.
Compliance with Covenants
The convertible notes include customary covenants and events of default for convertible notes of this type. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on net leverage and interest coverage ratios, and customary events of default. The required leverage ratio was increased to 4.50 to 1.00 as a result of the qualifying acquisition of EVO, which will remain in effect for up to eight consecutive quarters with a gradual step-down to 3.75 to 1.00, and the required interest coverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2023.
Settlement Lines of Credit
In various markets where we do business, we have specialized lines of credit that are restricted for use in funding settlement. The settlement lines of credit generally have variable interest rates, are subject to annual review and are denominated in local currency but may, in some cases, facilitate borrowings in multiple currencies. For certain of our lines of credit, the available credit is increased by the amount of cash we have on deposit in specific accounts with the lender. Accordingly, the amount of the outstanding lines of credit may exceed the stated credit limit. As of June 30, 2023, a total of $89.2 million of cash on deposit was used to determine the available credit.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $529.0 million outstanding under these lines of credit with additional capacity to fund settlement of $1.7 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the maximum and average outstanding balances under these lines of credit were $1,128.7 million and $505.8 million, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 6.33% at June 30, 2023.
See "Note 6—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information about our borrowing agreements.
Update to Critical Accounting Estimates
Redeemable noncontrolling interests - Redeemable noncontrolling interests in our subsidiaries in Poland, Greece, and Chile relate to the portion of equity in each of those subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us, which is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control. The redeemable noncontrolling interest for each subsidiary is reflected at the higher of: (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest's share of comprehensive income (loss), c apital contributions and distributions or (ii) the redemption price. Estimates of redemption price are based on projected operating performance of each subsidiary, including key assumptions - revenue growth rates, current and expected market conditions and weighted-average cost of capital. Refer to “Note 9—Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards setting bodies that may affect our current and/or future financial statements. There were no new recently adopted accounting pronouncements during the period or recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of June 30, 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements we use in this report, and in some of the documents we incorporate by reference in this report, contain forward-looking statements concerning our business operations, economic performance and financial condition, including in particular: our business strategy and means to implement the strategy; measures of future results of operations, such as revenues, expenses, operating margins, income tax rates, and earnings per share; other operating metrics such as capital expenditures; the effects of economic conditions on our business; statements about the benefits of our acquisitions or divestitures, including future financial and operating results, the company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and the successful integration of our acquisitions or completion of anticipated benefits or strategic initiatives; and our success and timing in developing and introducing new services and expanding our business. You can sometimes identify forward-looking statements by our use of the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plan," "forecast," "guidance" and similar expressions. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Although we believe that the plans and expectations reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements are based on a number of assumptions, estimates, projections or plans that are inherently subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, cannot be foreseen and reflect future business decisions that are subject to change. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that our plans and expectations will be achieved. Our actual revenues, revenue growth rates and margins, other results of operations and shareholder values could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements as a result of many known and unknown factors, many of which are beyond our ability to predict or control. Important factors, among others, that may otherwise cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements or historical performance include the effects of global economic, political, market, health and social events or other conditions; foreign currency exchange, continuing inflation and rising interest rate risks; difficulties, delays and higher than anticipated costs related to integrating the businesses of acquired companies, including with respect to implementing controls to prevent a material security breach of any internal systems or to successfully manage credit and fraud risks in business units; the effect of a security breach or operational failure on the Company's business; failing to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment networks or card schemes or changes in those requirements; the ability to maintain Visa and Mastercard registration and financial institution sponsorship; the ability to retain, develop and hire key personnel; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; the continued availability of capital and financing; increased competition in the markets in which we operate and our ability to increase our market share in existing markets and expand into new markets; our ability to safeguard our data; risks associated with our indebtedness; our ability to meet environmental, social and governance targets, goals and commitments; the potential effects of climate change, including natural disasters; the effects of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards on us or our partners and customers, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations; and other events beyond our control, and other factors presented in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent filings we make with the SEC, which we advise you to review.
These cautionary statements qualify all of our forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing our plans and expectations as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update or revise forward-looking statements at some time in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to our forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
With respect to foreign currency exchange rate risk, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, w e designated our Euro-denominated senior notes of €800 million as a hedge of our net investment in our Euro-denominated operations. The purpose of the net investment hedge is to offset the volatility of our net investment in our Euro-denominated operations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
With respect to interest rate risk, in March 2023, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion to convert eligible borrowings under our revolving credit facility from a floating term Secured Overnight Financing Rate to a fixed rate, which reduces our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
See "Note 7—Derivatives and Hedging Instruments" in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information about our hedging arrangements.
ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
