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. 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.
On April 17, 2025, we entered into definitive agreements to acquire 100% of Worldpay Holdco, LLC (“Worldpay”) from Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”) and affiliates of GTCR LLC (“GTCR”) and divest our Issuer Solutions business to FIS. Worldpay is an industry leading payments technology and solutions company. Consideration expected to be paid to GTCR for its ownership interest in Worldpay consists of (1) approximately $6.1 billion in cash and (2) 43.3 million shares of Global Payments common stock. Consideration expected to be received for the divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business consists of (1) approximately $7.5 billion in cash and (2) FIS’ ownership interest in Worldpay. The proposed acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business will occur simultaneously and the transactions are expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Both transactions are subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. We will provide certain transition services to support the Issuer Solutions business upon divestiture. We will also receive certain transition services from FIS upon consummation of the Worldpay acquisition.
The Company analyzed quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the Issuer Solutions disposal group and determined that the accounting criteria to be classified as held for sale and a discontinued operation were met. Accordingly, the operating results of the Issuer Solutions business have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the disposal group are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Our consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash flows from discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, all disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect only our continuing operations. Our Issuer Solutions business was historically presented as a reportable segment. For additional information related to the divestiture of Issuer Solutions, see "Note 2—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations."
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. Investments in entities that we do not control are accounted for using the equity or cost method, based on whether or not we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. 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, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Exhibit 99.1"), which revised certain financial information of our 2024 Form 10-K to reflect the presentation of our Issuer Solutions business as a discontinued operation, 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 Exhibit 99.1.
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 periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. In particular, uncertainty resulting from global events and other macroeconomic conditions are difficult to predict, 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.

Change in presentation - During the first quarter of 2025, we elected to change our presentation of cash flows associated with "Changes in settlement processing assets and obligations, net" and "Changes in funds held for customers" from operating activities to financing activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. The change has been applied retrospectively and the prior period has been conformed to the current period presentation. This change had no effect on our consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of changes in equity.
The change in presentation resulted in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and an increase in net cash used in financing activities of $113.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
SEC rule changes - On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to withdraw its litigation defense of its climate risk disclosure rules requiring disclosure of certain climate-related information and greenhouse gas emissions.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03 - In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are evaluating the potential effects of ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2023-09 - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and information regarding income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We expect to apply this amendment on a retrospective basis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption will result in expanded disclosures of the components of the reconciliation between income tax expense and statutory expectations as well as expanded disclosures of income taxes paid.

Convertible Notes
1.500% Convertible Notes due March 1, 2031
We have $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.500% convertible unsecured senior notes due March 2031 that were issued in 2024 through a private placement. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.97 billion reflecting debt issuance costs of $33.5 million, which were capitalized and reflected as a reduction of the related carrying amount of the convertible notes in our consolidated balance sheets. Interest on the convertible notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024, to the holders of record on the preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes and other financial institutions to cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the notes. The economic effect of the capped call transactions is to hedge the potential dilutive effect upon the conversion of the notes, or offset our cash obligation if the cash settlement option is elected, for amounts in excess of the principal amount of converted notes subject to a cap. The price of the capped call transactions was $228.90 per share. The capped call transactions met the accounting criteria to be reflected in stockholders’ equity and not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $256.3 million incurred in connection with the capped call transactions was reflected as a reduction to paid-in-capital in our consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024, net of applicable income taxes.
1.000% Convertible Notes due August 15, 2029
We also have $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.000% convertible notes due August 2029 that were issued during 2022 in a private placement pursuant to an investment agreement with Silver Lake Partners. 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. The notes, which are currently convertible, are presented within long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets based on our intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis should a conversion event occur.

Revolving Credit Facility
Our credit agreement provides for an unsubordinated unsecured $5.75 billion revolving credit facility that matures in August 2027. As of March 31, 2025, there were borrowings of $1.5 billion outstanding under the revolving credit facility with an interest rate of 5.8%, and the total available commitments under the revolving credit facility were $3.3 billion.
On May 15, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and agents. The credit agreement provides for an unsubordinated unsecured $7.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), of which (a) $5.75 billion of commitments were made available on May 15, 2025 and (b) an additional $1.5 billion of commitments will be made available upon the closing of the proposed acquisition of Worldpay described in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $7.5 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in May 2030 and provides for up to two one-year maturity extensions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to payment of certain customary expenses of lenders and customary notice provisions.
The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our previous unsubordinated unsecured $5.75 billion revolving credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"), dated as of August 19, 2022, as amended, which was scheduled to mature in August 2027. In May 2025, all borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility were either repaid or continued under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the new credit agreement. The Prior Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be available to be made in U.S. dollars, euros, sterling, Canadian dollars and, subject to certain conditions, certain other currencies at our option. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (i) for secured overnight financing rate based currencies or certain alternative currencies, a secured overnight financing rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) or an alternative currency term rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), as applicable, (ii) for US dollar borrowings, a base rate, (iii) for US dollar borrowings, a daily floating secured overnight financing rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) or (iv) for certain alternative currencies, a daily alternative currency rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings other than base rate borrowings will range from 1.000% to 1.750% depending on our credit rating and is initially 1.375%.
We may issue standby letters of credit of up to $500 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.
Commercial Paper
We have 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 March 31, 2025, we had net borrowings under our commercial paper program of $868.8 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 5.0%. The commercial paper program is backstopped by our 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.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
As of March 31, 2025, our senior notes had a total carrying amount of $10.1 billion and an estimated fair value of $9.7 billion. As of March 31, 2025, our 1.500% convertible notes due March 1, 2031 had a total carrying amount of $2.0 billion and an estimated fair value of $1.9 billion. The estimated fair values of our senior notes and 1.500% convertible senior notes were based on quoted market prices in active markets and are considered to be Level 1 measurements of the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2025, our 1.000% convertible notes due August 15, 2029 had a total carrying amount of $1.5 billion and an estimated fair value of $1.5 billion. The estimated fair value of our 1.000% convertible notes was based on a lattice pricing model and is considered to be a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of other long-term debt approximated its carrying amount at March 31, 2025.
Compliance with Covenants
The convertible notes include customary covenants and events of default for convertible notes of this type. The revolving credit facility 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. As of March 31, 2025, the required leverage ratio was 4.00 to 1.00, and the required interest coverage ratio was 3.00 to 1.00. The required leverage ratio will step-down to 3.75 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2025. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2025.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $144.4 million and $157.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Committed Bridge Financing
On April 17, 2025, in connection with our entry into the definitive agreement to acquire Worldpay, we obtained $7.7 billion in committed bridge financing, which was subsequently reduced to $6.2 billion on May 15, 2025 in connection with the entry into the Revolving Credit Facility.
NOTE 6—DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Net Investment Hedge
We have designated our aggregate €800 million Euro-denominated 4.875% 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 (loss) and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity in our consolidated balance sheets. Under net investment hedge accounting, the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses associated with our Euro-denominated senior notes are presented within the same components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment for our foreign subsidiaries.
We recognized a loss on the net investment hedge of $9.5 million and $7.1 million within foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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. 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 flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses resulting from adjusting the swaps to fair value are recognized as components of other comprehensive income (loss). The fair values of our interest rate swaps are 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 are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below presents information about our interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, included in our consolidated balance sheets:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Fair Values
Derivative Financial Instruments |  | Balance Sheet Location |  | Weighted-Average Fixed Rate of Interest at March 31, 2025 |  | Range of Maturity Dates at March 31, 2025 |  | March 31, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | (in thousands)
Interest rate swaps (Notional of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024) |  | Other noncurrent liabilities |  | 4.26% |  | April 17, 2027 - August 17, 2027 |  | $ | 17,384 |  |  | $ | 7,768 |

The table below presents the effects of our interest rate swaps on our consolidated statements of income and statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

| Three Months Ended |  |
| March 31, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024 |  |  |  |

Net unrealized (losses) gains recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) | $ | (9,371) |  |  | $ | 29,116 |  |  |  |  |
Net unrealized (losses) gains reclassified out of other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense | $ | (852) |  |  | $ | 2,662 |  |  |  |  |

As of March 31, 2025, the amount of net unrealized losses 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 $9.3 million.
In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into $1.5 billion in notional treasury lock derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk in anticipation of our future issuance of fixed rate notes. Each of these treasury locks was designated as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, and unrealized gains or losses resulting from adjusting the treasury locks to fair value are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the treasury locks is 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 are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 7—INCOME TAX
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our effective income tax rate of 16.6% differed favorably from the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our effective income tax rate of 2.8% differed favorably from the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of a change in the assessment of the need for a valuation allowance related to certain foreign tax credit carryforwards, foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
NOTE 8—REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
The portions of equity in certain of our consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us, are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control.
We hold a 51% controlling interest in our subsidiary in Germany. Under the shareholder agreement, the minority shareholder has the option to compel us to purchase their shares at fair market value upon the occurrence of a specific change in control event. As of March 31, 2025, the option is not considered probable of becoming redeemable. We also own 51% of our subsidiary in Greece and 50.1% of our subsidiary in Chile. Under the respective 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 circumstances for our subsidiary in Greece, at a price determined by calculations stipulated in the shareholder agreement. The 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 sheets. 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), capital contributions and distributions or (ii) the redemption price.
The option held by the minority shareholder in Greece, which is redeemable at a price other than fair value, is considered probable of becoming redeemable on December 8, 2025. In determining the measurement method of redemption price, we have elected to accrete changes in the redemption price over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using the effective interest method, applied prospectively. We have also elected to recognize the entire amount of any redemption price adjustments in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of income.
In addition, we own 66% of our subsidiary in Poland. The redemption option held by the minority shareholder in Poland expired on January 1, 2024, and the redeemable noncontrolling interest was reclassified to nonredeemable noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2024.

NOTE 9—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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, we repurchased and retired 4,218,350 and 6,061,999 shares of our common stock, respectively, at a cost, including commissions and applicable excise taxes, of $449.0 million and $808.4 million, or $106.45 and $133.35 per share, respectively. The share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included the repurchase of 2,449,366 shares at an average price of $102.07 per share under an ASR agreement we entered into on February 13, 2025 with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $250.0 million of our common stock during the ASR program purchase period. This ASR program was completed on March 11, 2025. The share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included the repurchase of 1,414,759 shares using a portion of the net proceeds from our offering of 1.500% convertible unsecured senior notes due March 2031 through privately negotiated transactions with purchasers of notes in the offering, or one of their respective affiliates. The purchase price per share of the common stock repurchased in such transactions equaled the closing price of the common stock on February 20, 2024, which was $130.80 per share. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining amount available under our share repurchase program was $1,405.7 million.
On April 24, 2025, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on June 27, 2025 to common shareholders of record as of June 13, 2025.

Stock Options
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

| Options |  | Weighted-Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value
| (in thousands) |  |  |  | (years) |  | (in millions)
Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 778 |  |  | $112.91 |  |  | 5.5 |  | $9.0
Granted | 208 |  |  | 105.28 |  |  |  |  |

Table of Contents
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $44.76 and $54.42, respectively. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

| Three Months Ended
| March 31, 2025 |  | March 31, 2024
Risk-free interest rate | 4.01% |  | 4.16%
Expected volatility | 47% |  | 45%
Dividend yield | 0.88% |  | 0.90%
Expected term in 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 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was computed by dividing net income attributable to Global Payments by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Earnings available to common shareholders is the same as reported net income attributable to Global Payments for all periods presented.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income 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 months ended March 31, 2025 excluded approximately 0.8 million shares related to stock options that would have an antidilutive effect on the computation of diluted EPS. The dilutive share base for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excluded approximately 0.1 million shares related to stock options that would have an antidilutive effect on the computation of diluted EPS.
The effect of the potential shares needed to settle the conversion spread on our 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 months ended March 31, 2025, 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 12—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 March 31, 2025, approximately 75% of our cash and cash equivalents (inclusive of discontinued operations) 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Restricted cash includes amounts that cannot be withdrawn or used for general operating activities under legal or regulatory restrictions. Restricted cash consists of amounts under legal restriction, 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 our consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

NOTE 14—SEGMENT INFORMATION
We report the results of our Issuer Solutions business as discontinued operations and therefore, no longer present Issuer Solutions as a reportable segment. Segment information presented below is based on our Merchant Solutions reportable segment. See "Note 2—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations" for further discussion regarding the divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business.
Our segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the business, including resource allocations and performance assessments. Our Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on the operating income of each operating segment. The CODM uses segment operating income in the annual budget and forecasting process, and considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. The operating income of our 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 determining segment operating income. Interest and other income, interest and other expense, income tax expense and equity in income of equity method investments are not allocated to the individual segments. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of or allocate resources to our operating segment using asset data. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segment are the same as those described in Exhibit 99.1 and our summary of significant accounting policies in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

NOTE 15—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 exhibit and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and consolidated financial statements contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Exhibit 99.1"), which revised certain financial information of our 2024 Form 10-K to reflect the presentation of our Issuer Solutions business as a discontinued operation. 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.
On April 17, 2025, we entered into definitive agreements to acquire 100% of Worldpay Holdco, LLC (“Worldpay”) from Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”) and affiliates of GTCR LLC (“GTCR”) and divest our Issuer Solutions business to FIS. Worldpay is an industry leading payments technology and solutions company. Consideration expected to be paid to GTCR for an ownership interest in Worldpay consists of (1) approximately $6.1 billion in cash and (2) 43.3 million shares of Global Payments common stock. Consideration expected to be received for the divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business consists of (1) approximately $7.5 billion in cash and (2) FIS’ ownership interest in Worldpay as described above. Our Issuer Solutions business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and we present the historical operations of our former Issuer Solutions reportable segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented accordingly. Our continuing operations consists of our Merchant Solutions business and corporate functions. See “Note 2—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations” in the notes to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further information.
The proposed acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business will occur simultaneously, and are expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. In connection with the agreements, we initially obtained $7.7 billion in committed bridge financing. Upon the effectiveness of the revolving credit agreement entered into on May 15, 2025 as described in "Note 5—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit," we reduced the commitments related to the bridge financing to $6.2 billion.

We also furthered our business strategy through the sale of AdvancedMD, Inc. ("AdvancedMD") completed in December 2024 for approximately $1.1 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, including up to $125 million contingent upon the purchaser achieving certain specified returns. AdvancedMD is a provider of software-as-a-service solutions to small-to-medium sized ambulatory physician practices in the United States ("U.S.") and was included in our Merchant Solutions segment prior to disposition.
Highlights related to our results of continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 include the following:
•Consolidated revenues were essentially flat at $1,808.7 million and $1,834.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

•Merchant Solutions segment operating income and operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the favorable effect of cost reduction activities.
•Consolidated operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included the favorable effects of cost reduction initiatives and a reduction in acquisition and integration expenses, partially offset by expenses related to business transformation activities.
Strategy and Business Transformation
In 2024, we launched a holistic review of our business to examine our strategy, operations and ability to deliver sustainable performance. We have refreshed our strategy and are focusing our resources, efforts and investments on the areas of the business that will drive the best opportunities for growth.
These strategic, organizational and operational transformation activities are expected to continue over the next few years. As we focus on executing and delivering transformation initiatives, we have incurred and anticipate incurring incremental expenses related to the transformation through early 2027, including but not limited to changes to the recoverability of assets and our estimates of remaining useful lives. We continue to assess our business portfolio to evaluate potential assets for disposition to further streamline our business and create value for shareholders.
We currently expect our transformation initiatives to generate more than $650 million of annual run-rate operating income benefit by the first half of 2027.
Macroeconomic Effects and Other Global Conditions
We are exposed to general economic conditions, including the effects of currency fluctuations, inflation, rising interest rates, tariff increases, global trade relations, international tensions, higher rates of unemployment, and other conditions that affect the overall level of consumer, business and government spending, which could negatively affect our financial performance. When adverse macroeconomic conditions arise, we evaluate where we may be able to implement cost-saving measures, including those related to headcount and discretionary expenses. We may also experience the effects of heightened geopolitical and economic instability or increased difficulty of conducting business in a country or region due to actual or potential political or military conflict or action. We recognize the uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment and cannot predict what impacts the current uncertainty or any developments will have on the economy and our customers.
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 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 sought to reduce our interest rate risk through the issuance of fixed rate debt in place of variable rate debt and through interest rate swap hedging arrangements that 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 have 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, we are unable to project the extent of the potential effect on our financial results.
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.

Results of Operations
We present the historical operations of our Issuer Solutions reportable segment as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, our continuing operations consists of our Merchant Solutions business and corporate functions.
See “Note 2—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.
Key Drivers of our Results of Operations
Our revenues are dependent upon the volume of payment transactions we process, cardholder accounts on file and other factors (referred to herein as "transaction volume"). As the majority of our services are priced as a percentage of transaction value or specified fee per unit or transaction, many under multi-year customer arrangements, our revenues generally grow period-over-period in line with the rate of increase in transaction volume.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of amortization of intangible assets, the cost of the technology to provide services to our customers and our people costs to support the operations. Many of those costs do not vary directly with the level of payment transactions we process for our customers, generating operating leverage. As revenues increase, operating income and operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenues) generally increase.
We also grow our business through strategic acquisitions of similar businesses. Our revenues increase from the transaction volume from the customers of the acquired businesses. As we integrate the businesses, we also are able to improve operating income and operating margin by generating synergies to lower the cost base of those businesses.

Table of Contents
Revenues
Revenues from our Merchant Solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $25.4 million, or 1.4%, to $1,808.7 million from $1,834.1 million in the prior year. The decrease included an approximate $20 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.
Revenues in our integrated and embedded solutions service line increased $45.9 million, or 6.1%, as payments continue to transition to more embedded and digital native environments. Revenues in our POS/software service line declined $31.0 million, or 8.2%; however, without the effect of the AdvancedMD business disposed of in December 2024, revenues increased approximately 8%, driven by growth in software subscription fees. Revenues in our core payments service line declined $40.3 million, or 5.8%, as a result of an unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations and a reduced emphasis on our wholesale business.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Service. Cost of service for our Merchant Solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $10.2 million, or 2.0%, to $488.9 million from $499.1 million in the prior year. Cost of service as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 27.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 27.2% in the prior year. The decline in cost of service is in line with the decline in revenue for the period. The disposition of AdvancedMD had the effect of reducing cost of service as a percentage of revenues by 0.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. The most significant component of our cost of service is amortization of acquired intangibles, which was $194.1 million and $209.5 million, or approximately 40% and 42% of cost of service, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs generally do not vary in proportion to changes in revenues, but rather are most significantly affected by acquisition activities.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Merchant Solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $48.9 million, or 6.5%, to $705.7 million from $754.6 million in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative ex penses as a percentage of segment revenues was 39.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 41.1% in the p rior year. The primary driver of the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower compensation and benefits expenses as a result of certain actions taken in 2024 to align our workforce to our new operating model.
Corporate expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $17.2 million, or 7.8%, to $238.0 million from $220.8 million in the prior year. The higher amount of corporate expenses was primarily driven by $66.3 million incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2025 associated with our business transformation initiative announced in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower acquisition and integration expenses of $50.5 million.
Operating Income and Operating Margin
Consolidated operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $380.1 million, compared to $359.6 million in the prior year. Consolidated operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 21.0%, compared to 19.6% in the prior year.
•Consolidated operating income reflected higher corporate costs, as described above, which had an unfavorable effect on operating margin of approximately 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025; and
•Merchant Solutions segment operating income increased $33.7 million and operating margin increased 2.4% primarily due to the favorable effect of cost reduction initiatives as a result of certain actions taken in 2024 to align our workforce to our new operating model. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2024 included operating income of $10.5 million related to the disposed AdvancedMD business, which had the effect of increasing operating margin by 0.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
Other Income and Expense, Net
Interest and other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $3.0 million to $38.0 million, compared to $35.0 million for the prior year, primarily due to an increase in available cash within our investment pool.
Interest and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $6.2 million to $148.2 million, compared to $154.4 million for the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings and lower average interest rates on outstanding borrowings.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our effective income tax rates were 16.6% and 2.8%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a one-time favorable effect of a change in the valuation allowance related to certain foreign tax credit carryforwards in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Various foreign taxing jurisdictions enacted local legislation formally adopting the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules ("Pillar Two"), which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two Framework. The effective dates were generally January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the rules and vary by jurisdiction. Additional jurisdictions are expected to implement the model rules under local law in the future, with varying effective dates. The Pillar Two directive did not have a material effect on our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and we are continuing to evaluate the potential effect on future periods of the Pillar Two implementation, pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries and the ongoing issuance of additional administrative guidance by the OECD.
Net Income Attributable to Global Payments
Net income attributable to Global Payments was $305.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $313.3 million for the prior year, reflecting the changes noted above.
Diluted Earnings per Share - Continuing Operations
Diluted earnings per share was $0.96 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.94 for the prior year. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the changes in net income noted above as well as a 10.4 million decrease in diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding to 247.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 257.6 million shares for the prior year.

(1) Percentage amounts may not sum to the total due to rounding.
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased primarily due to the $23.8 million effect of higher transaction volume driven by cardholder activity.
Operating Income and Operating Margin
Operating income and operating marg in for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased primarily due to higher labor and technology related costs.
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 pay dividends, to repurchase shares of our common stock, to pursue acquisitions that meet our corporate objectives, to make planned capital investments in our business and to pay principal and interest on our outstanding debt. 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 5—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 19—Commitments and Contingencies” in Exhibit 99.1.

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 provides a cost effective means of addressing our short-term liquidity needs and is backstopped by our revolving credit facility, 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.
Our consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash flows from discontinued operations for all periods presented, and therefore the following liquidity discussion includes both continuing and discontinued operations.
At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents totalin g $2,896.0 million. Of this amount, we considered $816.9 million to be available for general purposes, of which $62.6 million is undistributed foreign earnings considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. The available cash of $816.9 million does not include the following: (i) settlement-related cash balances, (ii) funds held as collateral for merchant losses ("Merchant Reserves") and (iii) certain 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 $252.3 million as of March 31, 2025, representing amounts under legal restriction, 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 $555.1 million a nd $529.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which reflect net income adjusted for noncash items, including depreciation, amortization and the provision for credit losses, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities increased 5% from the prior year in spite of a decrease in net income in the current year period primarily due to a noncash tax valuation allowance in the prior year period.
We used net cash in investing activities of $173.1 million and $148.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash used for investing activities primarily represents cash used to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we used cash of $49.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for acquisitions. We made capital expenditures of $127.6 million and $145.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 capital investments in the business, and we anticipate capital expenditures to be approximat ely $700 million duri ng the year ending December 31, 2025.

Financing activities include borrowings and repayments made 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 5—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 changes in funds held from customers, changes in settlement processing assets and liabilities, common stock repurchase programs and share-based compensation programs, cash distributions made to our shareholders and cash contributions from and distributions to noncontrolling interests. Net cash used in financing activities was $31.5 million and $276.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Proceeds from long-term debt we re $1,551.0 million an d $4,609.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Repayments of long-term debt we re $2,546.6 million and $2,628.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 senior notes, finance leases and other vendor financing arrangements. Changes in settlement processing assets and obligations, net were a source of cash of $479.2 million and a use of cash of $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in cash from settlement processing assets and liabilities was due primarily to transaction volume and the timing of month-end. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had net borrowings of $867.6 million and net repayments of $1,093.0 million, respectively, under our commercial paper program. Furthermore, in connection with the issuance of convertible notes in February 2024, we paid $256.3 million to purchase privately negotiated capped call transactions to hedge the potential dilutive effect upon conversion of the notes, or offset our cash obligation if the cash settlement option were to be elected. 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had net borrowings of $223.2 million and $133.2 million, respectively, under our settlement lines of credit.
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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, we us ed $446.3 million and $800.0 million, respectively, to repurchase and retire 4,218,350 and 6,061,999 shares of our common stock, respectively. The share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included the repurchase of 2,449,366 shares at an average price of $102.07 per share under an ASR agreement we entered into on February 13, 2025 with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $250.0 million of our common stock during the ASR program purchase period. This ASR program was completed on March 11, 2025. The share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included the repurchase of 1,414,759 shares using a portion of the net proceeds from our offering of 1.500% convertible unsecured senior notes due March 2031 through privately negotiated transactions with purchasers of notes in the offering, or one of their respective affiliates. The purchase price per share of the common stock repurchased in such transactions equaled the closing price of the common stock on February 20, 2024, which was $130.80 per share. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining amount available under our share repurchase program was $1,405.7 million.
We paid dividends to our common shareholders of $61.1 million and $63.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We also made distributions to noncontrolling interests of $10.3 million a nd $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On April 24, 2025, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on June 27, 2025 to common shareholders of record as of June 13, 2025.
Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit
Senior Notes
We have $10.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding as of March 31, 2025, which mature at various dates ranging from March 2026 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.

Convertible Notes
1.500% Convertible Notes due March 1, 2031
We have $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.500% convertible unsecured senior notes due March 2031 that were issued in 2024 through a private placement. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.97 billion reflecting debt issuance costs of $33.5 million, which were capitalized and reflected as a reduction of the related carrying amount of the convertible notes in our consolidated balance sheets. Interest on the convertible notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024, to the holders of record on the preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes and other financial institutions to cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the notes. The economic effect of the capped call transactions is to hedge the potential dilutive effect upon the conversion of the notes, or offset our cash obligation if the cash settlement option is elected, for amounts in excess of the principal amount of converted notes subject to a cap. The price of the capped call transactions was $228.90 per share. The capped call transactions met the accounting criteria to be reflected in stockholders’ equity and not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $256.3 million incurred in connection with the capped call transactions was reflected as a reduction to paid-in-capital in our consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024, net of applicable income taxes.
1.000% Convertible Notes due August 15, 2029
We also have $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.000% convertible notes due August 2029 that were issued during 2022 in a private placement pursuant to an investment agreement with Silver Lake Partners. 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. The notes, which are currently convertible, are presented within long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets based on our intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis should a conversion event occur.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our 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 March 31, 2025, there were borrowings of $1.5 billion outstanding under the revolving credit facility with an interest rate of 5.8%, and the total available commitments under the revolving credit facility were $3.3 billion.
On May 15, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and agents. The credit agreement provides for an unsubordinated unsecured $7.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), of which (a) $5.75 billion of commitments were made available on May 15, 2025 and (b) an additional $1.5 billion of commitments will be made available upon the closing of the proposed acquisition of Worldpay described in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $7.5 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in May 2030 and provides for up to two one-year maturity extensions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to payment of certain customary expenses of lenders and customary notice provisions.

The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our previous unsubordinated unsecured $5.75 billion revolving credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"), dated as of August 19, 2022, as amended, which was scheduled to mature in August 2027. In May 2025, all borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility were either repaid or continued under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the new credit agreement. The Prior Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be available to be made in US dollars, euros, sterling, Canadian dollars and, subject to certain conditions, certain other currencies at our option. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (i) for secured overnight financing rate based currencies or certain alternative currencies, a secured overnight financing rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) or an alternative currency term rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), as applicable, (ii) for US dollar borrowings, a base rate, (iii) for US dollar borrowings, a daily floating secured overnight financing rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) or (iv) for certain alternative currencies, a daily alternative currency rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings other than base rate borrowings will range from 1.000% to 1.750% depending on our credit rating and is initially 1.375%.
We may issue standby letters of credit of up to $500 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.
Commercial Paper
We have 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 commercial paper program is backstopped by our revolving credit facility, in that the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding cannot exceed the undrawn portion of the 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 March 31, 2025, we had net borrowings under our commercial paper program of $868.8 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 5.0%.
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. As of March 31, 2025, the required leverage ratio was 4.00 to 1.00, and the required interest coverage ratio was 3.00 to 1.00. The required leverage ratio will step-down to 3.75 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2025. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2025.
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 March 31, 2025, a total of $47.1 million of cash on deposit was used to determine the available credit.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $728.0 million outstanding under these lines of credit with additional capacity to fund settlement of $1,981.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the maximum and average outstanding balances under these lines of credit were $871.8 million and $404.0 million, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 5.29% at March 31, 2025.
Committed Bridge Financing
On April 17, 2025, in connection with our entry into the definitive agreement to acquire Worldpay, we obtained $7.7 billion in committed bridge financing, which was subsequently reduced to $6.2 billion on May 15, 2025 in connection with the entry into the Revolving Credit Facility on May 15, 2025.

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, but not limited to, statements we make regarding 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 shares outstanding and capital expenditures, liquidity, deleveraging plans and capital available for allocation; statements we make regarding guidance and projected financial results for the year 2025; the effects of general economic conditions on our business; statements about the benefits of our acquisitions or dispositions such as our proposed acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business, including future financial and operating results and the successful integration of acquisitions; our ability to timely complete the acquisition of Worldpay and divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business, including receiving all required regulatory approvals in connection with the transactions; statements about the completion of anticipated benefits or strategic or operational initiatives; statements regarding our success and timing in developing and introducing new services and expanding our business; and other statements regarding our future financial performance and our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. 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. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that our plans and expectations will be achieved. Our actual revenues, revenue growth rates and margins, and other results of operations 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 that may otherwise cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements or historical performance include, among others, those discussed in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as in the other information appearing in this exhibit and other filings we make with the SEC, which we advise you to review.
