(UNAUDITED)
Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization. Visa Inc. (“Visa” or the “Company”) is a global payments technology company that enables innovative, securefacilitates global commerce and reliable electronic paymentsmoney movement across more than 200 countries and territories. Visa and its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries including Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa U.S.A.”), Visa International Service Association (“Visa International”), Visa Worldwide Pte. Limited, Visa Europe Limited (“Visa Europe”), Visa Canada Corporation (“Visa Canada”), Visa Technology & Operations LLC and CyberSource Corporation, operate one of the world’s largest electronic payments network — VisaNet — which facilitatesprovides transaction processing services (primarily authorization, clearing and settlement of payment transactionssettlement). The Company offers products and enablessolutions that facilitate secure, reliable and efficient money movement for all participants in the Company to provide its financial institution and seller clients a wide range of products, platforms and value added services.ecosystem. Visa is not a financial institution and does not issue cards, extend credit or set rates and fees for account holders of Visa products. In most cases, account holder and merchant relationships belong to, and are managed by, Visa’s financial institution clients.
Consolidation and basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Visa and its consolidated entities and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company consolidates its majority-owned and controlled entities, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s investments in VIEs have not been material to its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
During the prior quarter, economic sanctions were imposed on Russia, impacting Visa and its clients. The extent and severity of the sanctions impacted the Company’s operations and a reduction in Ruble liquidity impacted the Company’s ability to manage operational impact and related foreign currency risk. In March 2022, the Company announced it was suspending its operations in Russia. In addition, the Company deconsolidated its Russian subsidiary, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $35 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, which is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all of the annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Reference should be made to the Visa Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 20202021 for additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Use of estimates. The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and will be recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements in the period in which such changes occur. Future actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has continued to create significant uncertainty in the global economy. There have been no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Board Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,2019-12, which requiressimplifies the measurementaccounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in the existing guidance and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets and certainmaking other instruments held at amortized cost.minor improvements. The Company adopted the standardthis guidance effective October 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method with comparative periods continuing to be reported using the previous applicable guidance.2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In accordance withJanuary 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,2020-01, which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the Company uses a forward-looking expected credit loss modelequity method of accounting for financial instruments measured at amortized cost.

than through an other-than-temporary impairment. In addition to recording the fair value of its settlement indemnification liability, under the new standard, the Company estimates expected credit losses and recognizes an allowance for those credit losses related to its settlement indemnification obligations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, which is Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company adopted the standard effective October 1, 2020. The adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures.measurement alternative. The Company adopted this standardguidance effective October 1, 2020.2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 5—U.S. and Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plans
U.S. Retrospective Responsibility Plan
Under the terms of the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, the Company maintains an escrow account from which settlements of, or judgments in, certain litigation referred to as the “U.S. covered litigation” are paid. The escrow funds are held in money market investments along with interest income earned, less applicable taxes, and are classified as restricted cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets. The accrual related to the U.S. covered litigation could be either higher or lower than the U.S. litigation escrow account balance. See Note 13—Legal Matters.

Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plan
Visa Inc., Visa International and Visa Europe are parties to certain existing and potential litigation relating to the setting of multilateral interchange fee rates in the Visa Europe territory (the “VE territory covered litigation”). Under the terms of the Europe retrospective responsibility plan, the Company is entitled to recover certain losses resulting from VE territory covered litigation (the “VE territory covered losses”) through a periodic adjustment to the class A common stock conversion rates applicable to the UK&Iseries B and EuropeC preferred stock. VE territory covered losses are recorded in “right to recover for covered losses” within stockholders’ equity before the corresponding adjustment to the applicable conversion rate is effected. Adjustments to the conversion rate may be executed once in any six-month period unless a single, individual loss greater than €20 million is incurred, in which case, the six-month limitation does not apply. When the adjustment to the conversion rate is made, the amount previously recorded in “right to recover for covered losses” as contra-equity is then recorded against the book value of the preferred stock within stockholders’ equity. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recovered $40 million and $55 million, respectively, of VE territory covered losses through adjustments to the class A common stock conversion rates applicable to the UK&I and Europe preferred stock.

Senior Notes
In June 2022, the Company issued Euro-denominated fixed-rate senior notes in a public offering in an aggregate principal amount of €3.0 billion ($3.2 billion), with maturities ranging between 4 and 12 years. The June 2026 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2034 Notes, or collectively, the "Euro Notes", have interest rates of 1.50%, 2.00% and 2.375%, respectively. Interest on the Euro Notes is payable annually on June 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2023. The net aggregate proceeds, after deducting discounts and debt issuance costs, were approximately €3.0 billion ($3.2 billion). The Company plans to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the refinancing of existing indebtedness.
The Company’s outstanding senior notes, or collectively, the “Notes”, are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equally and ratably among themselves and with the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Notes are not secured by any assets of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.

redemption prices. In addition, each series of the Euro Notes may be redeemed as a whole at specified redemption prices upon the occurrence of certain U.S. tax events.
Non-derivative Financial Instrument Designated as a Net Investment Hedge
The Company designated €1.2 billion of the €3.0 billion Euro Notes, a non-derivative financial instrument, as a hedge against a portion of the Company’s Euro-denominated net investment in Visa Europe. Changes in the value of the designated portion of the Euro Notes, attributable to the change in exchange rates at the end of each reporting period, partially offset the foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the Euro-denominated net investment, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Commercial Paper Program
Visa maintains a commercial paper program to support its working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Under the program, the Company is authorized to issue up to $3.0 billion in outstanding notes, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance. During the ninethree months ended June 30, 2021,2022, the Company repaid $3.0 billion$300 million and $650 million of principal upon maturitycommercial paper that was issued in March 2022 and April 2022, respectively. The Company had no outstanding obligations under the program as of its senior notes due December 14, 2020.June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
Note 8—Settlement Guarantee Management
The Company indemnifies its clients for settlement losses suffered due to failure of any other client to fund its settlement obligations in accordance with the Visa operating rules. This indemnification creates settlement risk for the Company due to the difference in timing between the date of a payment transaction and the date of subsequent settlement.

VISA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)

Series A preferred stock issuance. On July 29, 2022, the Company will issue approximately 176,853 shares of series A preferred stock in connection with the Sixth Anniversary Release. See Note 5—U.S. and Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plans.
Reduction in as-converted shares. Under the terms of the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, when the Company funds the U.S. litigation escrow account, the value of the Company’s class B common stock is subject to dilution through a downward adjustment to the conversion rate of the shares of class B common stock to shares of class A common stock. Under the terms of the Europe retrospective responsibility plan, the Company is entitled to recover VE territory covered losses through periodic adjustments to the class A common stock conversion rates applicable to the UK&Iseries B and EuropeC preferred stock. The deposit and recovery hashave the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company’s class A common stock, because it reduces the UK&Iclass B common stock and Europethe series B and C preferred stock conversion rates and consequently, reduces the as-converted class A common stock share count. See Note 5—U.S. and Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plans.
The following table presents the reduction in the number of as-converted class B common stock after deposit into the U.S. litigation escrow account for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. There was no comparable adjustment recorded for class B common stock for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Note 10—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to each class of shares by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and participating securities during the period. Participating securities include the Company’s series A, B and C preferred stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Net income is allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities based on its proportional ownership on an as-converted basis. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding of each class of common stock reflects changes in ownership over the periods presented. See Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, participating securities and, if dilutive, potential class A common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive class A common stock equivalents may consist of: (1) shares of class A common stock issuable upon the conversion of series A, UK&IB and EuropeC preferred stock and class B and C common stock based on the conversion rates in effect through the period, and (2) incremental shares of class A common stock calculated by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of employee stock options, the assumed purchase of stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the assumed vesting of unearned performance shares.

Related to the EIP, the Company recorded share-based compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, of $145 million and $153 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $447 million and $417 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 12—Income Taxes
TheFor the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the effective income tax rates were 41%11% and 26%17%, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,the effective income tax rates were 41% and 19% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.26%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended June 30, 20212022 differ from the effective tax rates for the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the following:
during the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease in the state apportionment rate, including a $176 million tax benefit related to prior years, as a result of a tax position taken related to a recent ruling;
during the three months ended June 30, 2021, a $1.0 billion non-recurring, non-cash tax expense related to the remeasurement of UK deferred tax liabilities, as discussed below;liabilities;
during the three months ended June 30, 2021, a $51 million tax benefit as a result of a tax position taken on certain expenses; and
during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, $147 million of tax benefits as a result of the conclusion of audits by taxing authorities.
On June 10, 2021, the UK enacted legislation that will increase the tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a non-recurring, non-cash tax expense related to the remeasurement of its net UK deferred tax liabilities, primarily related to intangibles recorded upon the acquisition of Visa Europe in fiscal 2016.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s gross and net unrecognized tax benefits increased by $80 million and $39 million, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s gross and net unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $37$34 million and $137increased by $109 million, respectively. The Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate, decreased by $75 million and $29 million, respectively. The change in unrecognized tax benefits is primarily related to the change in state apportionment mentioned above, partially offset by an increase in gross timing differences as well as various tax positions across several jurisdictions. Additionally, for the nine month period, the decrease in unrecognized tax benefits is primarily due to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the conclusion of audits by taxing authorities, partially offset by increases in gross timing differences. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, there were 0 significant changes in accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020,2022, the Company’s accrued interestpenalties related to uncertain tax positions increaseddecreased by $18 million and $56 million, respectively.$31 million.
The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. The timing and outcome of the final resolutions of the various ongoing income tax examinations are highly uncertain. It is not reasonably possible to estimate the increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
In September 2020, the Company accepted a settlement offer related to the examination of Canadian tax returns dating back to fiscal 2003, which was subject to approval by the Tax Court of Canada. On January 21, 2021, the Tax Court of Canada approved the settlement agreement related to the examination. The Company’s income tax provision was adjusted to reflect the estimated impact of the settlement in fiscal 2020.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARP Act”) was enacted in the U.S. on March 11, 2021. The ARP Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
Note 13—Legal Matters
The Company is party to various legal and regulatory proceedings. Some of these proceedings involve complex claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages. Accordingly, except as disclosed, the Company has not established reserves or ranges of possible loss related to these proceedings, as at this time in the proceedings, the matters do not relate to a probable loss and/or the amount or range of losses are not reasonably estimable. Although the Company believes that it has strong defenses for the litigation and regulatory proceedings described below, it could, in the future, incur judgments or fines or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, the Company may engage in settlement discussions or mediations with respect to one or more of its outstanding litigation matters, either on its own behalf or collectively with other parties.
The litigation accrual is an estimate and is based on management’s understanding of the Company’sits litigation profile, the specifics of each case, advice of counsel to the extent appropriate and management’s best estimate of incurred loss as of the balance sheet date.

Accrual Summary—U.S. Covered Litigation
Visa Inc., Visa U.S.A. and Visa International are parties to certain legal proceedings that are covered by the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, which the Company refers to as the U.S. covered litigation. An accrual for the U.S. covered litigation and a charge to the litigation provision are recorded when a loss is deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable. In making this determination, the Company evaluates available information, including but not limited to actions taken by the Company’s litigation committee. The total accrual related to the U.S. covered litigation could be either higher or lower than the escrow account balance. See further discussion below under U.S. Covered Litigation and Note 5—U.S. and Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plans.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded additional accruals of $716 million and $861 million, respectively, and deposited $600 million and $850 million, respectively, into the U.S. litigation escrow account to address claims of certain merchants who opted out of the Amended Settlement Agreement. The U.S. covered litigation accrual balance is consistent with the Company’s estimate of its share of the lower end of a probable and reasonably estimable loss with respect to U.S. covered litigation. While this estimate is consistent with the Company’s view of the current status of the litigation, the probable and reasonably estimable loss or range of such loss could materially vary based on developments in the litigation. The Company will continue to consider and reevaluate this estimate in light of the substantial uncertainties with respect to the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate a potential loss or range of loss, if any, at trial if negotiated resolutions cannot be reached.
Accrual Summary—VE Territory Covered Litigation
Visa Inc., Visa International and Visa Europe are parties to certain legal proceedings that are covered by the Europe retrospective responsibility plan. Unlike the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, the Europe retrospective responsibility plan does not have an escrow account that is used to fund settlements or judgments. The Company is entitled to recover VE territory covered losses through periodic adjustments to the conversion rates applicable to the UK&I preferred stockseries B and EuropeC preferred stock. An accrual for the VE territory covered losses and a reduction to stockholders’ equity will be recorded when the loss is deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable.

Since 2015, domestic transactions have been actively monitoringprocessed by Russia’s state-owned payments operator, National Payment Card System. With respect to cross-border activities, all transactions initiated with Visa cards issued by financial institutions outside Russia no longer work within Russia, and all transactions on cards issued in Russia no longer work outside the worldwide spreadcountry. Furthermore, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 we deconsolidated our Russian subsidiary, as required under U.S. GAAP. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and full year fiscal 2021, total net revenues from Russia, including revenues driven by domestic as well as cross-border activities, were approximately 3% and 4% of our consolidated net revenues, respectively.
With respect to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, our priority is ensuring the safety and security of our colleagues and their families who are directly impacted. We are in close contact with those in the region and are providing ongoing support to our colleagues.

The three-month year-over-year changes were primarily due to the growth in nominal payments volume, processed transactions and nominal cross-border volume, as the business laps the initial impacts of COVID-19 starting in March 2020 and various markets relaxed restrictions, partially offset by higher client incentives. The nine-month year-over-year changes were primarily due to the growth in nominal payments volume and processed transactions, partially offset by higher client incentives and lower nominal cross-border volume.incentives.

Senior notes. In June 2022, we issued Euro-denominated fixed-rate senior notes in a public offering in an aggregate principal amount of €3.0 billion, with maturities ranging between 4 and 12 years. See Note 7—Debt to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions. On December 20, 2021, we acquired The Currency Cloud Group Limited (“Currencycloud”), a UK-based global platform that enables banks and fintechs to provide innovative foreign exchange solutions for cross-border payments, for a total purchase consideration of $893 million (which includes the fair value of our previously held equity interest in Currencycloud).
On March 10, 2022, we acquired 100% of the share capital of Tink AB (“Tink”) for $1.9 billion in cash. Tink is a European open banking platform that enables financial institutions, fintechs and merchants to build financial products and services and move money. See Note 2—Acquisitions to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Interchange multidistrict litigation. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded additional accruals of $861 million to address claims associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation. We also made deposits of $850 million into the U.S. litigation escrow account. See Note 5—U.S. and Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plans and Note 13—Legal Matters to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Common stock repurchases. In December 2021, our board of directors authorized a $12.0 billion share repurchase program. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 46 million shares of our class A common stock in the open market for $9.5 billion. As of June 30, 2022, our repurchase program had remaining authorized funds of $7.3 billion. See Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP financial results. We use non-GAAP financial measures of our performance which exclude certain items which we believe are not representative of our continuing operations, as they may be non-recurring or have no cash impact, and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We consider non-GAAP measures useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance.
Gains and losses on equity investments. Gains and losses on equity investments include periodic non-cash fair value adjustments and gains and losses upon sale of an investment. These long-term investments are strategic in nature and are primarily private company investments. Gains and losses and the related tax impacts associated with these investments are tied to the performance of the companies that we invest in and therefore do not correlate to the underlying performance of our business.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships and brands acquired in connection with business combinations executed beginning in fiscal 2019. Amortization charges for our acquired intangible assets are non-cash and are significantly affected by the timing, frequency and size of our acquisitions, rather than our core operations. As such, we have excluded this amount and the related tax impact to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance.

These costs include professional fees, technology integration fees, restructuring activities and other direct costs related to the purchase and integration of acquired entities. ItThese costs also includesinclude retention equity and deferred equity compensation when they are agreed upon as part of the purchase price of the transaction but are required to be recognized as expense post-combination. We have excluded these amounts and the related tax impacts as the expenses are recognized for a limited duration and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.
Litigation provision. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded additional accruals to address claims associated with the interchange multidistrict litigation of $716 million and $861 million, respectively, and related tax benefit of $159 million and $191 million, respectively, determined by applying applicable tax rates. Under the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, we recover the monetary liabilities related to the U.S. covered litigation through a downward adjustment to the conversion rate of our class B common stock to shares of class A common stock. See Note 5—U.S. and Europe Retrospective Responsibility Plans and Note 13—Legal Matters to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Russia-Ukraine charges. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss within general and administrative expense of $35 million from the deconsolidation of our Russian subsidiary. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements. We also incurred charges of $25 million in personnel expense as a result of steps taken to support our employees in Russia and Ukraine. We have excluded these amounts and the related tax benefit of $4 million, determined by applying applicable tax rates, as they are one-time charges and do not reflect the underlying performance of our business.

(1),Payments volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards and other form factors carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, V PAY and Interlink brands and excludes Europe co-badged volume. Nominal payments volume is denominated in U.S. dollars and is calculated each quarter by applying an established U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate for each local currency in which our volumes are reported.Processed transactions represent transactions using cards and other form factors carrying the Visa, Visa Electron, V PAY, Interlink and PLUS brands processed on Visa’s networks.
The following table presents nominal payments volume growth in the U.S. was 18% and 11%, respectively, driven mainly by consumer debit. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, nominal international payments volume growth was 10% and 4%, respectively, positively impacted by movements in U.S. dollar exchange rates. For the same comparable periods, international payments volume growth on a constant-dollar basis, which excludes the impact of exchange rate movements, was 6% and 3%, respectively. Processed transactions increased as the business laps the initial impacts of COVID-19 starting in March 2020 and the increase also reflects the ongoing worldwide shift to electronic payments.cash volume:

during the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease in the state apportionment rate, including a $176 million tax benefit related to prior years, as a result of a tax position taken related to a recent ruling;
during the three months ended June 30, 2021, a $1.0 billion non-recurring, non-cash tax expense related to the remeasurement of UK deferred tax liabilities, as discussed below;liabilities;

On June 10, 2021, the UK enacted legislation that will increase the tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023.

Commercial paper program. We maintain a commercial paper program to support our working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repaid $300 million and $650 million of commercial paper that was issued in March 2022 and April 2022, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Board Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in the existing guidance for income taxes and making other minor improvements. The amendments in the ASU are effective on October 1, 2021. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the fair value measurement alternative. The amendments in the ASU are effective on October 1, 2021. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Subsequently, the FASB also issued an amendment to this standard. The amendments in the ASU are effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the effect ASU 2020-04 and its subsequent amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements.
