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.

Table of Contents

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.

Table of Contents

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

Identifiable intangible assets	1,208,400		360,600		1,569,000
Other assets	157,166		(4,080)		153,086

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.

Table of Contents

The following table reflects the provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of the identified intangible assets of EVO and their respective weighted-average estimated amortization periods:


	Estimated Fair Value		Weighted-Average Estimated Amortization Periods

Contract-based intangible assets	529,000		12
Acquired technologies	88,000		7
Trademarks and trade names	6,000		2
Total estimated identifiable intangible assets	$	1,569,000	11

From the acquisition date through June 30, 2023, the acquired operations of EVO contributed less than 10% to our consolidated revenues and operating income. 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:

Balance at June 30, 2023	$	16,974,392	$	9,516,768	$	26,491,160

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,

Table of Contents

we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $833.1 million in our consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Accumulated impairment losses for goodwill as of June 30, 2023 were $357.9 million. Accumulated impairment losses for goodwill as of December 31, 2022 were $833.1 million, of which $475.2 million related to assets held for sale.

At December 31, 2022, the unamortized discount on senior notes and convertible notes was $50.8 million and unamortized debt issuance costs on senior notes and convertible notes were $85.4 million. The portion of unamortized debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities is included in other noncurrent assets. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unamortized debt issuance costs on the unsecured revolving credit facility were $21.0 million and $23.5 million, respectively.

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 commercial 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 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 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:

Net unrealized gains (losses) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)	$	40,078	$	5,051	$	(7,973)	$	13,985
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), capital 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.
