Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a majority controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Control is typically established when ownership and voting interests in an entity are greater than 50%. Investments in which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, for which the Company’s share of net income or loss is reported within (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the related tax expense or benefit is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. Significant influence over an affiliate’s operations generally coincides with an ownership interest of between 20% and 50%; however, for partnerships and limited liability companies, an ownership interest of between 3% and 50% or board of director representation may also constitute significant influence.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The changes in settlement cash and cash equivalents are included in settlement activity, net within cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows at:

Cash and cash equivalents included in settlement assets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other restricted cash | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Total cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses represent advance payments for goods and services to be consumed in the future, such as maintenance, postage and insurance, and totaled $506 million and $431 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Other current assets, including Clover Capital cash advances and settlement advance cash payments, totaled $1,570 million and $1,144 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company offers merchants advance access to capital through its Clover Capital cash advance program. Under this program, merchants sell fixed amounts of their future credit card receivables to the Company in exchange for an up-front purchase price payment. Future credit card receivables purchased by the Company under the Clover Capital program were $199 million and $164 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company maintained a reserve of $8 million and $7 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, based on an estimate of uncollectible amounts.
The Company also offers merchants within its international operations advance access to capital by providing them the opportunity to receive settlement cash payments in advance in exchange for their receivables, including when the cardholders have elected to pay such merchants over time in installments. The Company maintains short-term lines of credit with foreign banks and alliance partners to fund such anticipated settlement activity (see Note 9). These local functional currency arrangements are primarily associated with the Company’s operations in Latin America, the most significant of which are denominated in Argentine peso and Brazilian real. The Company’s outstanding cash advances from card issuers related to this settlement funding activity were $504 million and $264 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Settlement Assets and Obligations
Settlement assets and obligations represent intermediary balances arising from the settlement process which involves the transferring of funds between card issuers, payment networks, processors, merchants and consumers, and collateral amounts held to manage merchant credit risk, primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring services. As a processor, the Company facilitates the clearing and settlement activity for the merchant and records settlement assets and obligations upon processing a payment transaction. Settlement assets represent cash received or amounts receivable from agents, payment networks, bank partners, merchants or direct consumers. Settlement obligations represent amounts payable to merchants and payees.
Certain merchant settlement assets (included within settlement receivables) that relate to settlement obligations are held by partner banks to which the Company does not have legal ownership, but which the Company has the right to use, to satisfy the related settlement obligations. The Company records settlement obligations for amounts payable to merchants and for outstanding payment instruments issued to payees that have not yet been presented for settlement.
6
Allowance for Merchant Credit Losses
With respect to the Company’s merchant acquiring business, the Company’s merchant customers have the legal obligation to refund any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. However, in the event the Company is not able to collect the refunded amounts from the merchants, the Company may be liable for the reversed charges. The Company’s risk in this area primarily relates to situations where a cardholder has purchased goods or services to be delivered in the future. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants to mitigate this risk. Collateral held by the Company, or held by partner banks for the Company’s benefit, is classified within settlement assets, and the obligation to repay the collateral is classified within settlement obligations in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant credit risk. Despite these efforts, the Company experiences losses due to merchant defaults. The aggregate merchant credit loss expense, recognized by the Company within cost of processing and services in the consolidated statements of income, was $22 million and $20 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $37 million and $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Other Equity Investments
The Company maintains investments, of which it does not have significant influence, in various equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Such investments totaled $138 million and $135 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews these investments each reporting period to determine whether an impairment or observable price change for the investment has occurred. To the extent such events or changes occur, the Company evaluates the fair value compared to its cost basis in the investment. Gains or losses from a sale of these investments or a change in fair value are included within other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income for the period. Adjustments made to the values recorded for certain equity securities and gains and losses from sales of equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were not significant.
Foreign Currency
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s U.S.-based businesses and certain foreign-based businesses. Where the functional currency differs from the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income for the reporting period.
7
Financial statements of subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies outside of the U.S. are remeasured into U.S. dollars, and the foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated statements of income, rather than as foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. The remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities in highly inflationary economies, primarily Argentina, resulted in foreign currency exchange losses of $32 million and $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $50 million and $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is included within other expense, net within the consolidated statements of income.
To reduce exposure to changes in the value of the Company’s net investments in certain of its foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt as economic hedges of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses on the qualifying net investment hedge instruments are recorded as foreign currency translation, net of tax, within other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss within the consolidated balance sheets until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiaries.
Derivatives
Derivatives are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a net investment hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative, net of tax, are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying net investment. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in the same line item as the changes in the fair value of the hedged item and recognized in the consolidated statements of income. To the extent a derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s policy is to enter into derivatives with creditworthy institutions and not to enter into such derivatives for speculative purposes.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which among other items, requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. For public entities, the provisions within ASU 2022-02 are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
In 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”), when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820. For public entities, ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions within ASU 2022-03 are to be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Purchase price was allocated to the respective identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisitions. The results of operations for the following acquired and divested businesses are included in the consolidated results of the Company from the respective dates of acquisition and through the respective dates of disposition. Pro forma information for these acquired businesses is not provided because they did not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Acquisitions
Acquisition of Merchant One
On December 20, 2022, the Company acquired Merchant One, Inc. (“Merchant One”), an independent sales organization focused on acquiring merchants in the restaurant, retail and e-commerce industries using an innovative mix of direct and digital marketing strategies, for $302 million, net of $1 million of acquired cash. Merchant One is included within the Acceptance segment and enhances the Company’s merchant distribution and sales force channels.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified and recorded measurement period adjustments to the preliminary Merchant One purchase price allocation, including refinements to valuations of acquired intangible assets, which were the result of additional analysis performed and information identified based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. These measurement period adjustments resulted in an increase to goodwill of $61 million and a corresponding decrease in identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships. Such measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The allocation of the purchase price was finalized in the second quarter of 2023 and resulted in the recognition of identifiable intangible assets of $118 million, goodwill of $179 million and other net assets of $6 million. Goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the anticipated value created by expanding the reach of the Clover® cloud-based POS and business management platform, and select value-added services that enable the Company to deliver new and innovative capabilities to Merchant One’s clients.

Acquisition of Finxact
On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired a remaining ownership interest in Finxact, Inc. (“Finxact”), a developer of cloud-native banking solutions powering digital transformation throughout the financial services sector, for $645 million, net of $27 million of acquired cash. The Company previously held a noncontrolling equity interest in Finxact, which was accounted for under the equity method. The remeasurement of the Company’s previously held equity interest to its acquisition-date fair value resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $110 million, included within income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statement of income during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Finxact is included within the Fintech segment and advances the Company’s digital banking strategy, expanding its account processing, digital, and payments solutions.

Other Acquisitions
On December 29, 2022, the Company acquired OrangeData S.A. (“Yacaré”), an Argentina-based payment service provider that enables customers to transact at merchant locations using QR codes. Yacaré is included within the Acceptance segment and enhances the Company’s instant payment transaction capabilities. On September 1, 2022, the Company acquired NexTable, Inc. (“NexTable”), a provider of cloud-based reservation and table management solutions for restaurants. NexTable is included within the Acceptance segment and expands the Company’s end-to-end restaurant solutions. On June 1, 2022, the Company acquired The LR2 Group, LLC (“City POS”), an independent sales organization that promotes payment processing services and facilitates the sale of POS equipment for merchants. City POS is included within the Acceptance segment and expands the Company’s merchant services business. The Company acquired these businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $44 million, including earn-out provisions estimated at a fair value of $6 million (see Note 7). The allocation of purchase price for these acquisitions resulted in the recognition of identifiable intangible assets of $23 million, goodwill of $22 million and other net assumed liabilities of $1 million. The purchase price allocations for the CityPOS and NexTable acquisitions were finalized in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, respectively. The purchase price allocation for the Yacaré acquisition was finalized in the second quarter of 2023. Measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Goodwill for these acquisitions, of which $17 million is deductible for tax purposes, is

6. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company maintains investments in various affiliates that are accounted for as equity method investments, the most significant of which are related to the Company’s merchant alliances. The Company’s share of net income or loss from these investments is reported within (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and the related tax expense or benefit is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. The Company reviews its equity method investments each reporting period for indications of an other-than-temporary deterioration in value. A deterioration in value of an equity method investment determined to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a current-period impairment charge within (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company maintains noncontrolling ownership interests in Sagent M&C, LLC (“Sagent”) and defi SOLUTIONS Group, LLC (collectively the “Lending Joint Ventures”), which are accounted for under the equity method. In March 2022, Sagent completed a transaction with a third party for the contribution from and the sale by such third party to Sagent of certain intangible and tangible personal property rights, resulting in a dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in Sagent. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $80 million within (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, with related tax expense of $19 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statement of income during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s remaining noncontrolling ownership interest in Sagent continues to be accounted for as an equity method investment.
The Lending Joint Ventures maintain, as amended in April 2022, variable-rate term loan facilities with aggregate outstanding borrowings of $437 million in senior unsecured debt at June 30, 2023 and variable-rate revolving credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $83 million with a syndicate of banks, which mature in April 2027. There were $33 million of aggregate outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2023. The Company has guaranteed the debt of the Lending Joint Ventures and does not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations (see Note 7).

7. Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:
| Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | Classification | Fair Value Hierarchy | June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||

| Contingent consideration | Accounts payable and accrued expenses | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Contingent consideration | Other long-term liabilities | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Contingent debt guarantee | Other long-term liabilities | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s senior notes are recorded at amortized cost but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair value of senior notes was based on matrix pricing which considers readily observable inputs of comparable securities (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The carrying value of the Company’s foreign lines of credit, term loan credit agreement, commercial paper notes and revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value as these instruments have variable interest rates and the Company has not experienced any change to its credit ratings (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The estimated fair value of total debt, excluding finance leases and other financing obligations, was $21.1 billion and $19.2 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the carrying value was $22.4 billion and $20.6 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company maintains liabilities for its obligations to perform over the term of its debt guarantee arrangements with the Lending Joint Ventures (see Note 6), which are reported within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In April 2022, the Lending Joint Ventures amended their respective term loans and revolving credit facilities, increasing aggregate borrowing capacity by $75 million and extending the maturity to April 2027. The Company elected to guarantee this incremental indebtedness, resulting in aggregate guarantees of $520 million. The Company is entitled to receive a defined fee in exchange for its incremental guarantee of this indebtedness. The Company has not made any payments under the guarantees, nor has it been called upon to do so, and does not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations.
15
The non-contingent component of the Company’s debt guarantee arrangements is recorded at amortized cost, but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The carrying value of the Company’s non-contingent liability of $36 million and $40 million approximates the fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). Such guarantees will be amortized in future periods over the contractual term of the debt. The contingent component of the Company’s debt guarantee arrangements represents the current expected credit losses to which the Company is exposed. The amount of the liability is estimated based on certain financial metrics of the Lending Joint Ventures and historical industry data, which is used to develop assumptions of the likelihood the guaranteed parties will default and the level of credit losses in the event a default occurs. The Company recognized $3 5 million and $6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, within other expense, net in its consolidated statements of income related to its release from risk under the non-contingent guarantees as well as a change in the provision of estimated credit losses associated with the indebtedness of the joint ventures.
Certain of the Company’s non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including property and equipment, lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, goodwill and other intangible assets, and are subject to fair value adjustment in certain circumstances.

Senior Notes
On May 24, 2023, the Company completed the public offering and issuance of 800 million Euros aggregate principal amount of 4.500 % senior notes due in May 2031 (the “2031 Euro Senior Notes”). Interest on these senior notes is paid annually. The Company used the net proceeds from this senior notes offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of U.S. dollar commercial paper notes and, in July 2023, the repayment of the 0.375 % Euro-denominated senior notes.
On March 2, 2023, the Company completed the public offering and issuance of $1.8 billion of senior notes, comprised of $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.450 % senior notes due in March 2028 and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.600 % senior notes due in March 2033. Interest on these senior notes is paid semi-annually. The Company used the net proceeds from these senior notes offerings for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of U.S. dollar commercial paper notes.
At June 30, 2023, the 0.375 % Euro-denominated senior notes due in July 2023 and 3.800 % senior notes due in October 2023 were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as the Company has subsequently refinanced the 0.375 % Euro-
17
denominated senior notes due in July 2023 and has the intent to refinance the 3.800 % senior notes due in October 2023 on a long-term basis and the ability to do so under its revolving credit facility.
The indentures governing each of these senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person, (ii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. The Company may, at its option, redeem these senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption price.
Commercial Paper
The Company maintains unsecured U.S. dollar and Euro commercial paper programs. From time to time, the Company may issue under these programs U.S. dollar commercial paper with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance and Euro commercial paper with maturities of up to 183 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding borrowings under the U.S. dollar program were $1.3 billion and $2.3 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 5.337 % and 4.818 %, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the Euro program were $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 3.467 % and 1.918 %, respectively. The Company intends to maintain available capacity under its revolving credit facility in an amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding borrowings under its commercial paper programs. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper programs are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term as the Company has the intent to refinance this commercial paper on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper upon maturity, and the Company also has the ability to refinance such commercial paper under its revolving credit facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company maintains a senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, which matures in June 2027 and provides for a maximum aggregate principal amount of availability of $6.0 billion. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or a base rate in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings, in each case, plus a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time (6.190 % at June 30, 2023).
Foreign Lines of Credit
The Company maintains certain short-term lines of credit and other borrowing arrangements with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund settlement activity associated with operations in Latin America. The Company entered into an annually renewable term loan facility to fund settlement advance cash payments in Brazil. This term loan, fully funded in April 2023, has a notional value of 514 million Brazilian real ($106 million USD equivalent) at June 30, 2023 that matures in April 2024 and bears interest at a variable Certificado de Depósito Interbancário (CDI) Rate, plus a specified margin of 1.70 % per annum. Weighted-average interest rates under these facilities were 52.831 % and 30.578 % at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Term Loan Facility
In June 2023, the Company repaid all remaining outstanding borrowings on its existing term loan facility utilizing proceeds from the issuance of U.S. dollar commercial paper notes and operating cash on hand, thereby terminating such facility. Borrowings under the term loan facility accrued interest at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR or on a base rate, plus, in each case, a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. The variable interest rate on the term loan facility borrowings was 5.639 % at December 31, 2022.
10. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
18
In 2021, the Company and a joint venture minority partner mutually agreed to terminate one of the Company’s merchant alliance joint ventures effective March 2022. In conjunction with the termination, the joint venture minority partner elected to exercise its option to purchase certain additional merchant contracts of the joint venture. The Company received proceeds of $175 million from the sale of such merchant contracts of the joint venture, resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $147 million within net loss (gain) on sale of businesses and other assets, with related tax expense of $9 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statement of income during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company maintains forward exchange contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency exposure to the Indian Rupee (see Note 7). The notional amount of these derivatives was $369 million and $346 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2023, the Company estimates that it will recognize gains of approximately $3 million in cost of processing and services during the next twelve months as foreign exchange forward contracts settle.
The Company previously entered into treasury lock agreements (“Treasury Locks”), designated as cash flow hedges to manage exposure to fluctuations in benchmark interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of fixed rate debt in connection with the acquisition and refinancing of certain indebtedness of First Data Corporation (“First Data”) and its subsidiaries. In 2019, concurrent with the issuance of U.S dollar-denominated senior notes, the Treasury Locks were settled resulting in a loss, net of income taxes, and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss that is being amortized to earnings over the terms of the originally forecasted interest payments. The unamortized balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Treasury Locks was $123 million and $130 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the
22
amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2023, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $15 million in net interest expense during the next twelve months related to settled interest rate hedge contracts.
Net Investment Hedges
To reduce exposure to changes in the value of the Company’s net investments in certain of its foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt as economic hedges of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries. At June 30, 2023, aggregate notional cross-currency rate swaps of 400 million Euros were designated as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Euro. The Company has designated certain of its Euro- and British Pound-denominated senior notes and Euro commercial paper notes as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of its net investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro and the British Pound.
On May 24, 2023, in conjunction with the public offering and issuance of the 2031 Euro Senior Notes (see Note 9), the Company elected to designate such notes as a net investment hedge and simultaneously de-designated its existing net investment hedge election on its 0.375 % Euro-denominated senior notes due in July 2023. To mitigate foreign currency exchange exposure on the 0.375 % Euro-denominated senior notes, the Company entered into a forward exchange contract with matching critical terms (see Note 7).
The following table outlines the terms of the Company’s Euro cross-currency rate swap contracts at June 30, 2023:
| Effective Date of Contract | Maturity Date of Contract | Notional Amount (EUR) | Fixed Rate Paid (EUR) | Fixed Rate Received (USD) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| September 1, 2022 | June 1, 2025 | million | % | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| November 10, 2022 | June 1, 2025 | million | % | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency transaction gains or losses on the qualifying net investment hedge instruments are recorded as foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiaries.
Foreign currency transaction (losses) gains, net of income tax, related to net investment hedges that were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income were as follows:

The income tax provision as a percentage of income before income taxes and (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was 20.7 % and 22.2 % for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 19.2 % and 18.2 % for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s potential liability for unrecognized tax benefits before interest and penalties was approximately $84 million at June 30, 2023. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $7 million over the next twelve months as a result of possible closure of tax audits, audit settlements, and the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return for 2022, and tax returns in certain states and foreign jurisdictions for 2015 through 2022, remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, stock options for 0.9 million and 2.2 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares - diluted because their impact was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, stock options for 1.0 million and 2.1 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares - diluted because their impact was anti-dilutive.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Legislative Matters
In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. The Company maintained accruals of $31 million and $21 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to its various legal proceedings, primarily associated with the Company’s merchant acquiring business and certain tax matters. The Company’s estimate of the possible range of exposure for various litigation matters in excess of amounts accrued is $0 million to approximately $80 million. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2023, a Canadian tax law change related to the Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) treatment of payment card services was enacted. The Company has estimated its exposure related to this multi-year retroactive tax law change and recognized a pre-tax expense of $27
Electronic Payments Transactions
In connection with the Company’s processing of electronic payments transactions, which are separate and distinct from the settlement payment transactions described in Note 1, funds received from subscribers are invested from the time the Company collects the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. These subscriber funds are invested in short-term, highly liquid investments. Subscriber funds, which are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, can fluctuate significantly based on consumer bill payment and debit card activity and totaled approximately $1.2 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
25
Indemnifications and Warranties
The Company may indemnify its clients from certain costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement associated with its clients’ use of the Company’s products or services. The Company may also warrant to clients that its products and services will operate in accordance with identified specifications. From time to time, in connection with sales of businesses, the Company agrees to indemnify the buyers of such businesses for liabilities associated with the businesses that are sold. Payments, net of recoveries, under such indemnification or warranty provisions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
18. Related Party Transactions
Merchant Alliances
A portion of the Company’s business is conducted through merchant alliances between the Company and financial institutions. A merchant alliance is an agreement between the Company and a financial institution that combines the processing capabilities and management expertise of the Company with the visibility and distribution channel of the financial institution. A merchant alliance acquires credit and debit card transactions from merchants. The Company provides processing and other services to the alliance and charges fees to the alliance based on contractual pricing.
To the extent the Company maintains a controlling financial interest in an alliance, the alliance’s financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company and the related processing fees are treated as an intercompany transaction and eliminated in consolidation. To the extent the Company has significant influence in, but not control of, an alliance, the Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in the alliance. As a result, the processing and other service fees charged to merchant alliances accounted for under the equity method are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income primarily as processing and services revenue. Such fees totaled $45 million and $46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $91 million and $93 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No directors or officers of the Company have ownership interests in any of the alliances. The formation of each of these alliances generally involves the Company and the financial institution contributing contracts with merchants to the alliance and a cash payment from one owner to the other to achieve the desired ownership percentage for each. The Company and the financial institution enter into a long-term processing service agreement, which governs the Company’s provision of transaction processing services to the alliance. The Company had approximately $36 million and $43 million of amounts due from unconsolidated merchant alliances included within trade accounts receivable, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Joint Venture Transition Services Agreements
Pursuant to certain transition services agreements, the Company provides, at fair value, various administration, business process outsourcing, and technical and data center related services for defined periods to certain joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Amounts transacted through these agreements totaled $1 million and $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2 million and $9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were primarily recognized as processing and services revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
We frequently review our businesses to ensure we have the necessary assets to execute our strategy. We expect to acquire businesses when we identify: a compelling strategic need, such as a product, service or technology that helps meet client demand; an opportunity to change industry dynamics; a way to achieve business scale that enables competition and operational efficiency; or similar considerations. We expect to divest businesses that are not in line with our market, product or financial strategies. The results of operations for the following acquired and divested businesses are included in our consolidated results from the respective dates of acquisition and through the respective dates of disposition.
Acquisitions
On December 29, 2022, we acquired OrangeData S.A. (“Yacaré”), an Argentina-based payment service provider that enables customers to transact at merchant locations using QR codes. Yacaré is included within the Acceptance segment and enhances our instant payment transaction capabilities. On December 20, 2022, we acquired Merchant One, Inc. (“Merchant One”), an independent sales organization (“ISO”) focused on acquiring merchants in the restaurant, retail and e-commerce industries using an innovative mix of direct and digital marketing strategies.

29
(“NexTable”), a provider of cloud-based reservation and table management solutions for restaurants. NexTable is included within the Acceptance segment and expands our end-to-end restaurant solutions.

City POS is included within the Acceptance segment and expands our merchant services business. On April 1, 2022, we acquired a remaining ownership interest in Finxact, Inc. (“Finxact”), a developer of cloud-native banking solutions powering digital transformation throughout the financial services sector. Finxact is included within the Fintech segment and advances our digital banking strategy, expanding our account processing, digital, and payments solutions. We acquired these businesses in 2022 for an aggregate purchase price of $994 million, net of $28 million of acquired cash, and including earn-out provisions estimated at a fair value of $6 million.
Dispositions
In June 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell our financial reconciliation business. The transaction closed on July 25, 2023, for net cash proceeds of approximately $230 million, subject to customary adjustments. We expect to recognize a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $160 million. The financial reconciliation business was reported within our Fintech segment.
On October 17, 2022, we sold Fiserv Costa Rica, S.A. and our Systems Integration Services (“SIS”) operations, which provides information technology engineering services in the United States (“U.S.”) and India, to a single buyer. Fiserv Costa Rica, S.A. and SIS were reported primarily within our Fintech segment. On September 30, 2022, we sold our Korea operations, which were reported in our Acceptance segment. We sold these operations in 2022 for total consideration of $99 million and recognized an aggregate net pre-tax loss on the sales of $83 million. During the first six months of 2023, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $3 million associated with final working capital adjustments related to the disposition of Fiserv Costa Rica, S.A. These divestitures were the result of a strategic review of our business portfolio.
In 2021, we mutually agreed with a minority partner to terminate one of our merchant alliance joint ventures effective March 2022. In conjunction with such termination, the joint venture minority partner elected to exercise its option to purchase certain additional merchant contracts of the joint venture for $175 million, resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $147 million in the first six months of 2022.
Industry Trends
The global payments landscape continues to evolve, with rapidly advancing technologies and a steady expansion of digital payments, e-commerce and real-time payments infrastructure. Because of this growth, competition also continues to intensify. Business and consumer expectations continue to rise, with a focus on speed, convenience, choice and security. To meet these expectations, payments companies are focused on modernizing their technology, expanding the use of data and enhancing the customer experience.
Merchants
The rapid growth in and globalization of mobile and e-commerce, driven by consumers’ desire for simpler, more efficient shopping experiences, has created an opportunity for merchants to reach consumers nearly anywhere, through any device, which often requires a merchant acquiring provider to enable and optimize the acceptance of payments. Merchants are demanding simpler, integrated and flexible systems to accept payments and help manage their everyday business operations. When combined with the ever-increasing ways a consumer can pay for goods and services, merchants have sought modern systems to streamline the complexity. Furthermore, merchants can now search, discover, compare, purchase and even install a new system through direct, digital-only experiences. This direct, digital-only channel is a source of new merchant acquisition opportunities, especially with respect to smaller merchants.
Additionally, there are numerous software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solution providers in the industry, many of which have chosen to integrate merchant acquiring into their software as a way to further monetize their client relationships. Such providers are typically referred to as ISVs, and we believe there are thousands of these potential distribution partnership opportunities available to us.
We believe that our merchant acquiring products and solutions create compelling value propositions for merchant clients of all sizes, from small and mid-sized businesses to medium-sized regional businesses to global enterprise merchants, and across all verticals. Furthermore, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with valued partnerships with merchant acquiring businesses of financial and non-financial institutions of all sizes, gives us a solid foundation for growth.
Financial Institutions and Other Financial Technology Providers
Financial services providers regularly introduce and implement new payment, deposit, risk management, lending and investment products, and the distinctions among the products and services traditionally offered by different types of financial
30
institutions and other financial technology providers continue to narrow as they seek to serve the same customers. At the same time, the evolving global regulatory and cybersecurity landscape has continued to create a challenging operating environment for financial institutions. These conditions are driving heightened interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue, comply with regulations and enhance operating efficiency. In addition, the focus on the customer experience, including through mobile and online engagement, by both financial institutions and their customers, as well as the growing volume and types of payment transactions in the marketplace, continues to elevate the data and transaction processing needs of financial institutions.
We expect that financial institutions and other financial technology providers will continue to invest significant capital and human resources to process transactions, manage information, maintain regulatory compliance and offer innovative new services to their customers in this rapidly evolving and competitive environment. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house technology to outsourced solutions as they seek to remain current on technology changes in an evolving marketplace. We believe that economies of scale in developing and maintaining the infrastructure, technology, products, services and networks necessary to be competitive in such an environment are essential to justify these investments, and we anticipate that demand for products that facilitate customer interaction with financial institutions, including a unified, seamless customer experience across mobile and online channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us.
The number of financial institutions in the U.S. has declined at a relatively steady rate, primarily as a result of voluntary mergers and acquisitions. Rather than reducing the overall market, these consolidations transfer accounts among financial institutions. If a client loss occurs due to merger or acquisition, we typically receive a contract termination fee based on the size of the client and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. These fees can vary from period to period depending on the level of financial institution merger activity and whether our clients are involved. Our focus on long-term client relationships and recurring, transaction-oriented products and services has also reduced the impact that consolidation in the financial services industry has had on us. We believe that the integration of our products and services creates a compelling value proposition for our clients by providing, among other things, new sources of revenue and opportunities to reduce their costs. Furthermore, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with our position as a leading provider of non-discretionary, recurring revenue-based products and services, gives us a solid foundation for growth.
Recent Market Conditions
Global macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates, inflation, bank failures, disruptions in the global supply chain, the effects of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and regulations restricting trade or impacting our ability to offer products or services, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While recent bank failures have created uncertainty in the global financial markets, they did not have a material impact on our operating results. However, future bank failures could impact our receivable collections and cash flows or affect our ability to find merchant alliance partners. In addition, in recent years, we have observed increased shortages and delays in the global supply chain for components and inputs necessary to our businesses, such as semiconductors, paper and plastic, and may experience difficulty procuring those components and inputs in the future on a timely basis or at historical prices. We continue to monitor and actively manage our business in response to these unpredictable geopolitical and market conditions, as they may adversely impact our operations and financial results.
In addition, our operating results in certain foreign countries in which we operate may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates for currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the Euro, British pound sterling and Argentine peso. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies in countries in which we operate would negatively impact our revenue and earnings. While the majority of our revenue is earned domestically, we continually monitor the foreign exchange rate environment in an effort to help mitigate these risks.
Changes in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified our critical accounting policies and estimates. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including for recently adopted accounting pronouncements, and base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable in light of current circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ materially from these estimates. For example, we estimate the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions and may record purchase accounting adjustments during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Additionally, we review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of our reporting units to their carrying values. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves judgement and the use of significant estimates and assumptions,
31
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. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Total Revenue
Total revenue increased $306 million, or 7%, in the second quarter of 2023 and $715 million, or 8%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. The revenue increase was driven by higher global processing revenue and product sales across all of our business segments, partially offset by a 3% decrease due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in both the second quarter and first six months of 2023.
Revenue in our Acceptance segment increased $164 million, or 9%, in the second quarter of 2023 and $358 million, or 10%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. The revenue increase was driven by higher global merchant acquiring payment volumes in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, including in Latin America. The revenue increase also includes contributions from our Clover and Carat operating systems and the expansion of our merchant relationships through value-added services. Acceptance segment growth was partially offset by a 6% and 5% revenue decrease due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.
Revenue in our Fintech segment decreased $19 million, or 2%, in the second quarter of 2023 and was flat in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. The revenue decrease in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in termination fee revenue. The first six months of 2023 included a 2% increase in processing revenue.
Revenue in our Payments segment increased $127 million, or 8%, in the second quarter of 2023 and $294 million, or 10%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. In the second quarter and first six months of 2023, our debit processing business contributed 2% and 3%, respectively, to Payments revenue growth driven by an increase in debit transactions; our Output Solutions business contributed 2% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2023, primarily driven by increased volumes; and our credit processing business contributed 2% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2023, primarily driven by new business onboarding and an increase in active accounts. The remaining revenue growth was spread across our various other Payments segment businesses.
Revenue at Corporate and Other increased $34 million, or 15%, in the second quarter of 2023 and $68 million, or 14%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to increased postage revenue.
Total Expenses
Total expenses increased $35 million, or 1%, in the second quarter of 2023 and $356 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased 450 basis points to 76.2% in the second quarter of 2023 and 230 basis points to 77.8% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue were favorably impacted in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 by a reduction in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of approximately 90 basis points and 100 basis points, respectively. Total expenses as a
34
percentage of total revenue were also favorably impacted by operating leverage and a reduction of approximately 60 basis points in severance costs in both the second quarter and first six months of 2023.
Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue decreased to 34.4% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 40.6% in the second quarter of 2022 and decreased to 36.3% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 41.6% in the first six months of 2022. Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue was favorably impacted by strong operating leverage accompanying scalable revenue growth, along with approximately 50 basis points from decreased severance costs in both the second quarter and first six months of 2023.
Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 69.5% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 71.9% in the second quarter of 2022 and decreased to 69.1% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 70.5% in the first six months of 2022. The cost of product as a percentage of product revenue improved in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 as a result of revenue mix, including increased hardware revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 35.7% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 34.7% in the second quarter of 2022 and increased to 35.5% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 35.1% in the first six months of 2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was due to increased personnel costs, including share-based compensation and commission costs, partially offset by a reduction in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
The net gain on sale of businesses and other assets in the first six months of 2022 included a $147 million pre-tax gain from the sale of certain merchant contracts in conjunction with the mutual termination of one of our merchant alliance joint ventures.
Operating Income and Operating Margin
Total operating income increased $271 million, or 32%, in the second quarter of 2023 and increased $359 million, or 21%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Total operating margin increased 450 basis points to 23.8% in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 230 basis points to 22.2% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Total operating income and total operating margin benefited from revenue growth in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, along with a reduction in amortization of acquisition related intangible assets. Total operating margin in the first six months of 2022 was favorably impacted by a $147 million pre-tax gain from the sale of certain merchant contracts in conjunction with the termination of one of our merchant alliance joint ventures.
Operating income in our Acceptance segment increased $125 million, or 21%, in the second quarter of 2023 and increased $217 million, or 20%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Operating margin increased 350 basis points to 34.7% in the second quarter of 2023 and 280 basis points to 32.7% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Operating income and operating margin growth in our Acceptance segment was primarily due to operating leverage.
Operating income in our Fintech segment increased $4 million, or 1%, in the second quarter of 2023 and increased $9 million, or 2%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Operating margin increased 130 basis points to 36.3% in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 60 basis points to 35.8% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Operating income and operating margin growth in our Fintech segment was primarily due to operating leverage and expense management initiatives.
Operating income in our Payments segment increased $115 million, or 17%, in the second quarter of 2023 and increased $208 million, or 16%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022.

Payments segment operating income and margin growth in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was primarily due to scalable revenue growth from our debit and credit processing businesses and productivity.
The operating loss in Corporate and Other decreased $27 million in the second quarter of 2023 and increased $75 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. The operating loss in the first six months of 2022 included a $147 million pre-tax gain from the sale of certain merchant contracts in conjunction with the mutual termination of one of our merchant alliance joint ventures. The operating loss was favorably impacted by a reduction of $41 million and $89 million in amortization of acquisition related intangible assets in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $56 million, or 32%, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 and increased $90 million, or 26%, in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022 due to higher interest rates on our variable rate debt, as well as our public offering and issuance of $1.8 billion of fixed-rate senior notes in March 2023, 800 million Euros of fixed-rate senior notes in May 2023 and increased borrowing associated with our settlement advance cash program in Latin America.
35
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net decreased $24 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022. Other expense, net includes foreign currency transaction gains and losses, gains or losses from a change in fair value of investments in certain equity securities, and amounts related to debt guarantee arrangements of certain joint ventures. Net foreign currency transaction losses increased $48 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily related to Argentina. Other expense, net in the first six months of 2022 included net pre-tax expense of $59 million associated with joint venture debt guarantees.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision as a percentage of income before income taxes and (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates was 20.7% and 22.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was 19.2% and 18.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate for both the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include discrete tax benefits from subsidiary restructurings and equity compensation related tax benefits.
(Loss) Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Our share of net (loss) income from unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method is reported as (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and the related tax expense is reported within the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. (Loss) income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates, including acquired intangible asset amortization from valuations in purchase accounting, was $3 million and $128 million in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $(9) million and $234 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the first six months of 2022 included pre-tax net gains totaling $209 million primarily related to the acquisition-date fair value remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in Finxact of $110 million, as well as $80 million resulting from the dilution of our ownership interest in conjunction with the Sagent M&C, LLC transaction with a third party.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests relates to the minority partners’ share of the net income in our consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, including acquired intangible asset amortization from valuations in purchase accounting, was $12 million and $11 million in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $25 million and $24 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Net Income Per Share – Diluted
Net income attributable to Fiserv, Inc. per share-diluted was $1.10 and $0.92 in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was $1.99 and $1.94 in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net income attributable to Fiserv, Inc. per share-diluted in the first six months of 2022 included pre-tax net gains totaling $209 million related to certain equity investment transactions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary liquidity needs in the ordinary course of business are to: (i) fund normal operating expenses; (ii) meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness, including finance leases; and (iii) fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied in both the short and long term using cash flow generated by our operations, along with our cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 billion, proceeds from the issuance of U.S. dollar and Euro commercial paper, and available capacity under our revolving credit facility of $1.8 billion (net of outstanding borrowings and $4.2 billion of capacity designated for outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs, senior notes due in 2023 and letters of credit) at June 30, 2023.

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by operating activities, or operating cash flow, and capital expenditure amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

| Capital expenditures, including capitalized software and other intangibles | $ | 679 | $ | 718 | $ | (39) | (5) | % | |||||||||||||||
Our operating cash flow was $2.01 billion in the first six months of 2023, an increase of 11% compared with $1.81 billion in the first six months of 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to improved operating results, partially offset by higher working capital use compared to the prior period, including increased accounts receivable corresponding to revenue growth, higher income tax payments and timing of vendor payments.
We maintain investments in various unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for as equity method investments. Total distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, including those classified as cash flows from investing activities, were $109 million and $119 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to fund capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and to repay debt rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures were approximately 7% and 8% of our total revenue for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Share Repurchases
We repurchased $2.5 billion and $1.0 billion of our common stock during the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. On February 22, 2023, our board of directors approved an additional repurchase authorization for up to 75.0 million shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately 70.1 million shares remaining under our current repurchase authorizations. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions
We acquired Yacaré and Merchant One in December 2022, NexTable in September 2022 and City POS in June 2022. Additionally, we acquired a remaining ownership interest in Finxact in April 2022, in which we previously held a noncontrolling interest. City POS and the remaining ownership interest in Finxact were acquired during the second quarter of 2022 for an aggregate purchase price of $671 million, net of $27 million of acquired cash, and NexTable during the third quarter of 2022 for $15 million, including earn-out provisions with a fair value of approximately $6 million. Merchant One and Yacaré were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2022 for an aggregate purchase price of $308 million, net of $1 million of acquired cash.
We funded these acquisitions in 2022 by utilizing a combination of available cash and proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper. The results of operations for these acquired businesses are included in our consolidated results from the respective dates of acquisition.
Dispositions
In June 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell our financial reconciliation business. The transaction closed on July 25, 2023 for net cash proceeds of approximately $230 million, subject to customary adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale were
37
primarily used to pay down indebtedness and repurchase shares of our common stock.
We sold Fiserv Costa Rica, S.A and our SIS operations in October 2022 for net cash proceeds of $34 million and our Korea operations in September 2022 for net cash proceeds of $43 million, along with a minority noncontrolling equity interest in the buyer of the Korea operations. Effective March 2022, we mutually agreed to terminate a merchant alliance joint venture with a minority partner. In conjunction with such termination, the joint venture minority partner elected to exercise its option to purchase certain additional merchant contracts of the joint venture for cash proceeds of $175 million. The net proceeds from these dispositions were primarily used to pay down indebtedness and repurchase shares of our common stock.

In May 2023, we completed the public offering and issuance of 800 million Euros aggregate principal amount of 4.500% senior notes due in May 2031. In March 2023, we completed the public offering and issuance of $1.8 billion of senior notes, comprised of $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.450% senior notes due in March 2028 and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5.600% senior notes due in March 2033. We used the net proceeds from these senior notes offerings for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of U.S. commercial paper notes and, in July 2023, the repayment of the 0.375% Euro-denominated senior notes.
At June 30, 2023, our debt consisted primarily of $19.5 billion of fixed-rate senior notes and $2.6 billion of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs. Interest on our U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes is paid semi-annually,
38
while interest on our Euro and British Pound-denominated senior notes is paid annually. Interest on our revolving credit facility and commercial paper notes is generally paid weekly, or more frequently on occasion, and interest on our term loan was paid monthly.
At June 30, 2023, the 0.375% Euro-denominated senior notes due in July 2023 and 3.800% senior notes due in October 2023 were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as we have subsequently refinanced the 0.375% Euro-denominated senior notes due in July 2023 and have the intent to refinance the 3.800% senior notes due in October 2023 on a long-term basis and the ability to do so under our revolving credit facility. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper programs are also classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term as we have the intent to refinance this commercial paper on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper upon maturity, and also have the ability to refinance such commercial paper under our revolving credit facility.
Variable Rate Debt
Our variable rate debt consisted of the following at June 30, 2023:

We maintain certain short-term lines of credit and other borrowing arrangements with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund settlement activity associated with our operations in Latin America. We entered into an annually renewable term loan facility to fund settlement advance cash payments in Brazil. This term loan, fully funded in April 2023, has a notional value of 514 million Brazilian real ($106 million USD equivalent) at June 30, 2023 that matures in April 2024 and bears interest at a variable Certificado de Depósito Interbancário (CDI) Rate, plus a specified margin of 1.70% per annum. We also maintain U.S. dollar and Euro unsecured commercial paper programs with various maturities generally ranging from one day to four months. Outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs bear interest based on the prevailing rates at the time of issuance.
We maintain a revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments available for $6.0 billion of total capacity. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings, in each case plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. We are required to pay a facility fee based on the aggregate commitments in effect under the credit agreement from time to time.
In June 2023, we repaid all remaining outstanding borrowings on our existing term loan facility utilizing proceeds from the issuance of U.S. dollar commercial paper notes and operating cash on hand, thereby terminating such facility. Borrowings under the term loan facility accrued interest at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR or on a base rate, plus, in each case, a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time.
Debt Covenants and Compliance
The indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) our ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, (ii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. We may, at our option, redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the applicable maturity date.
The revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to, among other things, limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than 3.75 times our consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and expenses and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, subject to certain exceptions.
39
During the first six months of 2023, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to meet future debt covenant requirements will depend on our continued ability to generate earnings and cash flows. We expect to remain in compliance with all terms and conditions associated with our outstanding debt, including financial debt covenants.
Debt Guarantees
We maintain noncontrolling ownership interests in Sagent M&C, LLC and defi SOLUTIONS Group, LLC (collectively, the “Lending Joint Ventures”). The Lending Joint Ventures maintain, as amended in April 2022, variable-rate term loan facilities with aggregate outstanding borrowings of $437 million in senior unsecured debt at June 30, 2023 and variable-rate revolving credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $83 million with a syndicate of banks, which mature in April 2027. There were $33 million of outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2023. We have guaranteed the debt of the Lending Joint Ventures and do not anticipate that the Lending Joint Ventures will fail to fulfill their debt obligations. We maintained a liability of $36 million at June 30, 2023 for the estimated fair value of our non-contingent obligations to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee arrangements. Such guarantees will be amortized in future periods over the contractual term of the debt. In addition, we maintained a contingent liability of $21 million at June 30, 2023, representing the current expected credit losses to which we are exposed. This contingent liability is estimated based on certain financial metrics of the Lending Joint Ventures and historical industry data, which is used to develop assumptions of the likelihood the guaranteed parties will default and the level of credit losses in the event a default occurs. We have not made any payments under the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Investments, exclusive of settlement assets, with original maturities of 90 days or less that are readily convertible to cash are considered to be cash equivalents as reflected within our consolidated balance sheets. The table below details our cash and cash equivalents held at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, indices, correlations or other market factors, such as liquidity, will result in losses for a certain financial instrument or group of financial instruments. Our senior management actively monitors certain market risks to which we are exposed, primarily from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In order to limit our exposure to these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments with creditworthy institutions to hedge against changing interest rates and foreign currency rate fluctuations. We currently utilize forward exchange contracts, fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and other non-derivative hedging instruments to manage risk.
Additional information about market risks to which we are exposed is included within Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative analyses about market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we or our subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against us. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
