NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, our objectives for future operations, and any statements of a general economic or industry specific nature, are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “continue,” “could,” “should,” “can have,” “likely,” or the negative or plural of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe, based on information currently available to our management, may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
 
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as may be required by law.

In connection with the proposed Merger, on April 12, 2019, FIS filed a preliminary registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC that became available on the SEC’s Edgar system on April 15, 2019.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Worldpay, Inc. and all subsidiaries thereof, including its majority-owned subsidiary, Worldpay Holding, LLC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
As of September 30, 2018, Worldpay, Inc. and Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) owned interests in Worldpay Holding of 96.71% and 3.29%, respectively (see Note 6 - Controlling and Non-Controlling Interests for changes in non-controlling interests).
The Company accounts for non-controlling interests in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. Non-controlling interests primarily represent Fifth Third’s minority share of net income or loss of equity in Worldpay Holding. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests does not include expenses incurred directly by Worldpay, Inc., including income tax expense attributable to Worldpay, Inc. Non-controlling interests are presented as a component of equity in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Fifth Third Stock Sale

In June 2018, Fifth Third exchanged 5 million Class B units in Worldpay Holding for 5 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and subsequently sold those 5 million shares of Worldpay, Inc. Class A common stock pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale.

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


As of March 31, 2019, Worldpay, Inc. owned 100% interest in Worldpay Holding (see Note 8 - Controlling and Non-Controlling Interests for changes in non-controlling interests) as a result of Fifth Third Bank’s (“Fifth Third”) sale of its remaining interest in Worldpay Holding discussed below.

Fifth Third Stock Sale

In March 2019, Fifth Third exchanged its remaining 10.3 million Class B units in Worldpay Holding for 10.3 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and subsequently sold those 10.3 million shares of Worldpay, Inc. Class A common stock pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (“Fifth Third Stock Sale”). The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale.

As a result of the June 2018March 2019 Fifth Third exchange of units of Worldpay Holding, the Company recorded an estimated additional liability under the Fifth Third Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) of $120.9$327.9 million and an estimated additional deferred tax asset of $87.0$502.8 million associated with the increase in the tax basis. The Company recorded aan estimated corresponding reductionincrease to paid-in-capital of $33.9$174.9 million for the difference in the TRA liability and the related deferred tax asset.

Share Repurchase Program

In October 2016, our board of directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $250 million of our Class A common stock. The Company has approximately $243 million of share repurchase authority remaining as of September 30, 2018 under this authorization.

Purchases under the programs may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The manner, timing and amount of any purchases will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price and other factors. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number or amount of shares, there is no guarantee as to the exact number or amount of shares that may be repurchased, if any, and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time that it determines additional purchases are not warranted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue RecognitionExpenses

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). The new standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized, based upon the core principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard, as amended, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendment allows companies to use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASC.

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The new standard requires the Company to disclose the accounting policies in effect prior to January 1, 2018, as well as the policies it has applied starting January 1, 2018. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a service or goods to a customer.

Periods prior to January 1, 2018

The Company has contractual agreements with its customers that set forth the general terms and conditions of the relationship including line item pricing, payment terms and contract duration. Revenues are recognized as earned (i.e., for transaction based fees, when the underlying transaction is processed) in conjunction with ASC 605. ASC 605 establishes guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned by using the following criteria: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller’s price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



The Company followed the guidance provided in ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, which states that the determination of whether a company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement and that certain factors should be considered in the evaluation. The Company recognized processing revenues net of interchange fees, which are assessed to its merchant customers on all processed transactions. Interchange rates are not controlled by the Company, which effectively acts as a clearing house collecting and remitting interchange fee settlement on behalf of issuing banks, debit networks, credit card associations and its processing customers. All other revenue was reported on a gross basis, as the Company contracts directly with the end customer, assumes the risk of loss and has pricing flexibility.

Periods commencing January 1, 2018

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services or goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.

The Company has contractual agreements with its customers that set forth the general terms and conditions of the relationship including line item pricing, payment terms and contract duration. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of the Company’s contract with its customer is satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company generates revenue primarily by processing electronic payment transactions. Set forth below is a description of the Company’s revenue by segment.

Technology Solutions

Technology Solutions provides merchant acquiring and payment processing services to a diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through eCommerce and integrated payment solutions.

Merchant Solutions

Merchant Solutions provides merchant acquiring and payment processing services to a diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through an omni-channel solution including terminal based.

Issuer Solutions

Issuer Solutions provides card issuer processing, payment network processing, fraud protection and card production to a diverse set of financial institutions, including regional banks, community banks, credit unions and regional personal identification number (“PIN”) networks.

Performance Obligations

Since the majority of the Company’s revenue relates to payment processing services for its customers, the Company’s core performance obligation is to provide continuous access to the Company’s system to process as much as its customers require. The Company’s payment processing services consist of variable consideration under a stand-ready series of distinct days of service that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

The Company’s revenue from products and services is recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the products or services, with the majority of the revenue recognized at a point in time.

Beginning in 2018, the Company records certain fees paid to third parties, including network fees and other costs, as a reduction of revenue. These fees were previously recorded on a gross basis. This change in presentation has no impact to income from operations. Under ASC 606, revenue of $1,017.9 million and $2,875.4 million was reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, amounts recorded under ASC 605 would include $1,715.7 million and $697.8 million of revenue and network fees and other costs for the three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $4,877.5 million and $2,002.1 million of revenue and network fees and other costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on any other line items of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Financial Position, Statements of Equity and Statements of Cash Flows.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 presented in the table above is prior to the Company’s adoption of ASC 606 and therefore network fees and other costs are presented separately and not netted within revenue.

Processing Services

Processing services revenue is primarily derived from processing credit and debit card transactions comprised of fees charged to businesses for payment processing services. The fees charged consist of either a percentage of the dollar volume of the transaction or a fixed fee, or both.

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



Products and Services

Products and services revenue is primarily derived from ancillary services such as treasury management and foreign exchange, regulatory compliance, chargebacks and fraud services.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

ASC 606 requires capitalizing costs of obtaining a contract when those costs are incremental and expected to be recovered. Since incremental commission fees paid to sales teams as a result of obtaining contracts are recoverable, the Company recorded a $28.8 million ($22.3 million net of deferred taxes) cumulative catch-up capitalized asset on January 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the amount capitalized as contract costs is $36.9 million, which is included in other non-current assets.

In order to determine the amortization period for sales commission contract costs, the Company applied the portfolio approach for “like-kind contracts” to which sales compensation earnings can be applied and allocated incentive payments to each portfolio accordingly. The Company evaluated each individual portfolio to determine the proper length of time over which the capitalized incentive should be amortized by analyzing customer attrition rates using historical data and other metrics.

The Company determined that straight-line amortization would best correspond to the transfer of services to customers since services are transferred equally over time and have limited predictable volatility. The amortization periods range from 3 to 10 years and are based on the expected life of a customer. In 2018, the amount of amortization was $2.6 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expense. There was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

The Company recognizes incremental sales commission costs of obtaining a contract as expense when the amortization period for those assets is one year or less per the practical expedient in ASC 606. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense.
Customer incentives represent signing bonuses paid to customers. Customer incentives are paid in connection with the acquisition or renewal of customer contracts, and are therefore deferred and amortized using the straight-line method based on the expected life of the customer. Related amortization is recorded as contra-revenue.

The Company capitalizes conversion costs associated with enabling customers to receive its processing services. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $39.9 million and $21.1 million, respectively, of capitalized conversion costs included in Intangible assets - net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Amortization expense related to these costs for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $2.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $4.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Amortization of these costs is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. These costs are amortized over the average life of the customer.

Contract Balances

Accounts Receivable-net

Accounts receivable primarily represent processing revenues earned but not collected. For a majority of its customers, the Company has the authority to debit the client’s bank accounts; as such, collectibility is reasonably assured. Aside from debiting a client’s bank account, the Company collects a majority of its revenue via net settlement with the remaining portion collected via billing the customer. The Company records a reserve for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the accounts receivable will not be collected. The Company reviews historical loss experience and the financial position of its customers when estimating the allowance. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was not material to the Company’s statements of financial position.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $1.6 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities, which relate to advance consideration received from customers (deferred revenue) before transfer of control occurs and therefore revenue is recognized, is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Remaining Performance Obligations

ASC 606 requires disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations; however, as permitted by ASC 606, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure any contracts with an original duration of one year or less and any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. As discussed above, the Company’s core performance obligation consists of variable consideration under a stand-ready series of distinct days of service. The aggregate fixed consideration portion of customer contracts with an initial contract duration greater than one year is not material.

Changes in Accounting Policies

As noted above, the Company adopted ASC 606, effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, applying the standard to contracts that are not complete as of the date of initial application. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605. The details of the significant changes are set out below.

Under ASC 606, the Company capitalizes commission fees as costs of obtaining a contract when they are incremental and expected to be recovered. The Company amortizes these capitalized costs consistently with the pattern of transfer of the good or service to which the asset relates. If the expected amortization period is one year or less, the commission fee is expensed when incurred. The Company previously recognized sales commission fees related to contracts as sales and marketing expenses when incurred. Except for the change in revenue recognition, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Expenses
Set forth below is a brief description of the components of the Company’s expenses:
Network fees and other costs primarily consist of pass through expenses incurred by the Company in connection with providing processing services to the Company’s clients, including Visa and Mastercard network association fees and payment network fees and only relates to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Following the Company’s adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, network fees and other costs are presented net within revenue.

Sales and marketing expense primarily consists of salariescompensation, commissions and benefits paid to sales personnel, sales management and other sales and marketing personnel, amortization of capitalized commission fees, residual payments made to multiple referral partners, and advertising and promotional costs.

Other operating costs primarily consist of salariescompensation and benefits paid to operational and IT personnel, costs associated with operating the Company’s technology platform and data centers, information technology costs for processing transactions, product development costs, software fees, maintenance costs, occupancy costs and maintenanceconsulting costs.

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salariescompensation and benefits paid to executive management and administrative employees, including finance, human resources, product, legal and risk management, share-based compensation costs, office equipment, and occupancy costs and consulting costs. The nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes a significant amount of transition, acquisition and integration costs related to the Legacy Worldpay acquisition. The nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes a charge related to a settlement agreement stemming from legacy litigation of an acquired company.

Non-operating expensesincome (expense) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily consistconsists of expenses relating to the Company’s financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Legacy Worldpay acquisition, repricingother income and expense items outside of the Company’s debt in June 2018 and the change in fair value of the Mercury TRA (see Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements), partially offset by a gain on the settlement of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Legacy Worldpay. Non-operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily consists of an unrealized gain relating to the change in fair value of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the Legacy Worldpay acquisition, which was also partially offset by the change in fair value of the Mercury TRA. (see Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements).operating activities.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company expenses employee share-based payments under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the share-based awards issued in the form of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of shares issued as restricted stock, performance awards and under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) is measured based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Worldpay, Inc. by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Worldpay, Inc., adjusted as necessary for the impact of potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period and the impact of securities that would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. See Note 911 - Net Income Per Share for further discussion.

Dividend Restrictions

The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends on its Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Worldpay, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, Worldpay, Inc.’s ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock, if any, is dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from Worldpay Holding. The amounts available to Worldpay, Inc. to pay cash dividends are subject to the covenants and distribution restrictions in its subsidiaries’ loan agreements. As a result of the restrictions on distributions from Worldpay Holding and its subsidiaries, essentially all of the Company’s consolidated net assets are held at the subsidiary level and are restricted as of September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, such deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made. As of September 30,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded valuation allowances against deferred tax assets of $12.9$12.6 million related to foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded no valuation allowances against deferred tax assets.net operating losses.

The Company’s consolidated interim effective tax rate is based upon expected annual income from operations,before applicable taxes, statutory tax rates and tax laws in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Significant or unusual items, including adjustments to accruals for tax uncertainties, are recognized in the quarter in which the related event occurs.

The global effective tax rate for each period reflects the impact of the Company’s non-controlling interests not being taxed at the statutory U.S. corporate tax rates. The 2018 effective tax rate also reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) and the impact related to the addition of international taxing jurisdictions as a result of the Legacy Worldpay acquisition.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law Tax Reform. Tax Reform amended the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits and deductions as well as reduce the corporate federal tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate with an effective date of January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, the Company preliminarily revalued its net deferred tax asset based on Tax Reform. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has not adjusted this provisional amount and is continuing to gather additional information to complete its accounting for this item and expects to complete the accounting within the prescribed measurement period.

Property, equipment and software consists of the Company’s facilities, furniture and equipment, software, land and leasehold improvements. Facilities, furniture and equipment and software are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, which are 15 to 40 years for the Company’s facilities and related improvements, 2 to 10 years for furniture and equipment and 3 to 8 years for software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement which is 3 to 10 years or the term of the lease. Also included in property, equipment and software is work in progress consisting of costs associated with software developed for internal use which has not yet been placed in service.

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to computer software developed for internal use and amortizes such costs on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 5 to 8 years. Research and development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations as such costs are incurred. Once technological feasibility has been established, costs are capitalized until the software is placed in service.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, the Company tests goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit on an annual basis, or when events occur or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that implied fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company performed its most recent annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units as of July 31, 2018 using market data and discounted cash flow analyses. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the fair value of all reporting units was substantially in excess of the carrying value. There have been no other events or changes in circumstances subsequent to the testing date that would indicate impairment of these reporting units as of September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships, trade names, customer portfolios and related assets that are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews finite lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, there have been no such events or circumstances that would indicate potential impairment of finite lived intangible assets.

Merchant Float and Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations and Merchant Float

Settlement assets and obligations and merchant float represent intermediary balances arising from the settlement process which involves the transferring of funds between card issuers, merchants and Sponsoring Members. Funds are processed under two models, a sponsorship model and a direct member model. In the United States, the Company operates under the sponsorship model and outside the United States the Company operates under the direct membership model.

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Under the sponsorship model, in order for the Company to provide electronic payment processing services, Visa, MasterCard and other payment networks require sponsorship by a member clearing bank. The Company has an agreement with various banks and financial institutions, (the “Sponsoring Member”) to provide sponsorship services to the Company. Under the sponsorship agreements, the Company is registered as a Visa Third-Party Agent and a MasterCard Service Provider. The sponsorship services allow us to route transactions under the Sponsoring Members' membership to clear card transactions through MasterCard, Visa and other networks. Under this model, the standards of the payment networks restrict us from performing funds settlement and as such require that these funds be in the possession of the Sponsoring Member until the merchant is funded. Accordingly, settlement assets and obligations resulting from the submission of settlement files to the network or cash received from the network in advance of funding the network are the responsibility of the Sponsoring Member and are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In the United States, settlement assets and obligations are recorded by the Company related to the Issuer Solutions business when funds are transferred from the Company to the Sponsoring Member for settlement prior to receiving funds from the financial institution customer or funds are received from the financial institution customer prior to transferring funds to the Sponsoring Member for settlement. These timing differences result in a settlement asset or obligation. The amounts are generally collected or paid the following business day.

Settlement assets and obligations are also recorded in the United States as result of intermediary balances due to/from the Sponsoring Member. The Company receives funds from certain networks which are owed to the Sponsoring Member for settlement. In other cases the Company transfers funds to the Sponsoring Member for settlement in advance of receiving funds from the network. These timing differences result in a settlement asset or obligation. The amounts are generally collected or paid the following business day. Additionally, U.S. settlement assets and obligations arise related to interchange expenses, merchant reserves and exception items.

Under the direct membership model, the Company is a direct member in Visa, MasterCard and other various payment networks as third party sponsorship to the networks is not required. This results in the Company performing settlement between the networks and the merchant and requiring adherence to the standards of the payment networks in which the Company is a direct member. Settlement assets and obligations result when the Company submits the merchant file to the network or when funds are received by the Company in advance of paying the funds to a different entity or merchant. The amounts are generally collected or paid the following business day.

Merchant float represents surplus cash balances the Company holds on behalf of its merchant customers when the incoming amount from the card networks precedes when the funding to customers falls due. Such funds are held in a fiduciary capacity, and are not available for the Company to use to fund its cash requirements.

Settlement assets and obligations result when funds are transferred from or received by the Company prior to receiving or paying funds to a different entity. This timing difference results in a settlement asset or obligation. The amounts are generally collected or paid the following business day.

Derivatives

The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the statementConsolidated Statements of financial positionFinancial Position at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item will be recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and will be recognized in the statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. Additionally, the effective portions of the Company’s net investment hedges, which act as economic hedges of the Company’s net investments in its foreign subsidiaries, are recorded in AOCI. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. See Note 57 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further discussion.

NewRecent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU amends the existing guidance by requiring the recognition of all leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet as right of use asset and lease liability and disclosing key information about the lease arrangements. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach with no cumulative effect on retained earnings. See Note 3 - Leases for more information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends and simplifies existing guidance to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019 with an immaterial impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information.

In August 2018, the SEC issued a final rule amending certain of its disclosure requirements. This rule eliminates or simplifies redundant or outdated disclosure requirements. The rule also requires companies to present changes in shareholders’ equity on a quarterly basis for both current and prior year periods.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscalannual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). The new standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to electdetermine when and how revenue is recognized, based upon the optionalcore principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition approachmethod. The new standard requires the Company to applydisclose the provisions ofaccounting policies in effect prior to January 1, 2018, as well as the new standard. This approach resultspolicies it has applied starting January 1, 2018. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the recognition of lease assets and liabilities in the period of adoption without requiring the restatement of the prior period financials presented.a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a service or goods to a customer.

Periods commencing January 1, 2018

The Company has formedcontractual agreements with its customers that set forth the general terms and conditions of the relationship including line item pricing, payment terms and contract duration. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of the Company’s contract with its customer is satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company generates revenue primarily by processing electronic payment transactions. Set forth below is a project teamdescription of the Company’s revenue by segment.

Technology Solutions

Technology Solutions provides merchant acquiring, payment processing and related services to evaluatea diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through eCommerce and integrated payment solutions.

Merchant Solutions

Merchant Solutions provides merchant acquiring, payment processing and related services to a diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through an omni-channel solution including terminal based.

Issuer Solutions

Issuer Solutions provides card issuer processing, payment network processing, fraud protection and card production to a diverse set of financial institutions, including regional banks, community banks, credit unions and regional personal identification number (“PIN”) networks.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the potential financialCompany assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies performance obligations for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. The Company’s performance obligation relating to its payment processing services revenue is to provide continuous access to the Company’s system to process as much as its customers require. Since the number or volume of transactions to be processed is not determinable at contract inception, the Company’s payment processing services consist of variable consideration under a stand ready service of distinct days of service that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. As such, the stand-ready obligation is accounted for as a single-series performance obligation whereby the variability of the transaction value is satisfied daily as the performance obligation is performed.

The Company’s payment processing services include all aspects of payment processing, including authorization and settlement, customer service, chargeback and retrieval processing, reporting for electronic payment transactions and network fee and interchange management.

The Company’s products and services consists of, but are not limited to, foreign currency management, payment card industry regulatory compliance services, payment security (e.g. tokenization, encryption and fraud services), chargeback resolution, billing statement impactproduction (e.g. reporting and analytics), card production, and card-processing equipment sales. An evaluation is performed to determine whether or not these are separate performance obligations from payment processing. Once the performance obligations are identified, the total estimated transaction value is allocated based on a stand-alone selling price. Revenue from products and services is recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the products or services. Chargeback resolution services, card production and equipment sales are generally recognized at a point in time while most other performance obligations are billed and recognized over the contract period as the services are performed.

Revenue breakdown is based on management’s view and certain products and services revenue may be based on the number or volume of transactions.

Processing Services

Processing services revenue is primarily derived from processing credit and debit card transactions comprised of fees charged to businesses for payment processing services. The fees charged consist of real-estate leasesa percentage of the transaction value, a specified fee per transaction, a fixed fee, or a combination.

Products and Services

Products and services revenue is primarily derived from ancillary services such as treasury management and foreign exchange, regulatory compliance, chargebacks and fraud services for office spacewhich the fees charged may or may not be related to the volume or number of transactions.

Costs to Obtain and reviewing other contractsFulfill a Contract

ASC 606 requires capitalizing costs of obtaining a contract when those costs are incremental and expected to determine which may qualifybe recovered. Since incremental commission fees paid to sales teams as a lease underresult of obtaining contracts are recoverable, the new standard. This team is evaluating, designing and implementing new processes and internal controls to meet the requirements to report and disclose financial information regarding the Company’s leases. In addition, the team is designingCompany recorded a process to perform the necessary calculations to derive the right$28.8 million ($22.3 million net of usedeferred taxes) cumulative catch-up capitalized asset and liabilities associated with each lease to support the requirements of the new standard. Further, the team continues to evaluate the practical expedients and accounting policy elections under the new standard as well as lease accounting systems. The Company expects these activities to continue throughout the remainder of the 2018 and anticipates adopting this ASU on January 1, 2019.2018. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amount capitalized as contract costs is $42.4 million and $39.3 million, respectively, which is included in other non-current assets.

In order to determine the amortization period for sales commission contract costs, the Company applied the portfolio approach for “like-kind contracts” to which sales compensation earnings can be applied and allocated incentive payments to each portfolio accordingly. The Company evaluated each individual portfolio to determine the proper length of time over which the capitalized incentive should be amortized by analyzing customer attrition rates using historical data and other metrics.

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company determined that straight-line amortization would best correspond to the transfer of services to customers since services are transferred equally over time and have limited predictable volatility. The amortization periods range from 3 to 10 years and are based on the expected life of a customer. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the amount of amortization was $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which is recorded in sales and marketing expense. There was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

The Company recognizes incremental sales commission costs of obtaining a contract as expense when the amortization period for those assets is one year or less per the practical expedient in ASC 606. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense.

Customer incentives represent signing bonuses paid to customers. Customer incentives are paid in connection with the acquisition or renewal of customer contracts, and are therefore deferred and amortized using the straight-line method based on the expected life of the customer. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $75.8 million and $71.5 million, respectively, of customer incentives included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had $7.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to these costs recorded as contra-revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company capitalizes conversion costs associated with enabling customers to receive its processing services. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $56.5 million and $51.7 million, respectively, of capitalized conversion costs included in Intangible assets - net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had, $3.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to these costs, which is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. These costs are amortized over the average life of the customer.

Contract Balances

Accounts Receivable-net

Accounts receivable primarily represent processing revenues earned but not collected. For a majority of its customers, the Company has the authority to debit the client’s bank accounts; as such, collectibility is reasonably assured. Aside from debiting a client’s bank account, the Company collects a majority of its revenue via net settlement with the remaining portion collected via billing the customer. The Company records a reserve for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the accounts receivable will not be collected. The Company reviews historical loss experience and the financial position of its customers when estimating the allowance. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was not material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities, which relate to advance consideration received from customers (deferred income) before transfer of control occurs and therefore revenue is recognized, is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Remaining Performance Obligations

ASC 606 requires disclosure of the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations; however, as permitted by ASC 606, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure any contracts with an original duration of one year or less and any variable consideration that meets specified criteria. As discussed above, the Company’s core performance obligation consists of variable consideration under a stand-ready series of distinct days of service and revenue from the Company’s products and service arrangements are generally billed and recognized as the services are performed. The aggregate fixed consideration portion of customer contracts with an initial contract duration greater than one year is not material.

3. LEASES

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) amends previous lease guidance under ASC 840 by requiring the recognition of all leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet as right of use asset (“ROU”) and the present value (“PV”) lease liability, as well as disclosing key information about the lease arrangements. The Company elected to adopt ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach using the effective date method, which results in the recognition of lease assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the period of adoption without requiring restatement of the prior period financials presented, so comparable periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements prior to January 1, 2019 continue to be presented under ASC 840.

At adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients in the guidance which consists of not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company, however, did not elect the separate hindsight practical expedient.
Since most of the Company’s operating lease contracts do not provide an implicit rate, the Company made a policy election to use an incremental borrowing rate applicable to the geographic location of the leased asset and based on the remaining lease term in determining the present value of future minimum lease payments for purposes of recognizing a lease liability and corresponding ROU asset. Additionally, the Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize an ROU asset and lease liability for short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

The Company has various lease agreements for office space and land which are classified as operating leases and for equipment which is classified as finance leases. The operating lease agreements typically contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately since the Company is able to easily identify the applicable lease components. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are factored into the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company does not have any lease agreements whose payments are variable in nature (i.e. leases based on an index). Lease costs for operating leases, including short-term leases, are recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded both operating lease ROU assets of $93.2 million and lease liabilities of $139.2 million. The difference between the asset and liability primarily relates to previously recorded deferred rent, unfavorable acquired lease obligations and lease exit costs. The adoption of ASC 842 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Legacy Worldpay

On January 16, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Legacy Worldpay by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding shares (the “acquisition”). The approximately $11.9 billion purchase price consisted of Legacy Worldpay shareholders receiving a $1.5 billion cash payment and 133.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The acquisition-date fair value of the 133.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued was $10.4 billion and was determined based on the share price of $77.60 per share, the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16, 2018 since the acquisition closed before the market opened on January 16, 2018.

The acquisition creates a leading global payments technology company that is uniquely positioned to address clients’ needs with innovative and strategic capabilities.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“(“ASC 805”). The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill, assigned to Technology Solutions, Merchant and Issuer Solutions, consists primarily of the acquired workforce and growth opportunities, none of which qualify as an intangible asset.

(3) 
Includes $1,649.9$1,631.0 million of debt which was paid off subsequent to the completion of acquisition.

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, but the potential for measurement period adjustments exists based on the Company’s continuing review of matters related to the acquisition. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationship assets, internal-use software and a trade name with weighted average estimated useful lives of 6.7 years, 6.5 years and 10 years, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred transaction expenses of approximately $120.7 million in conjunction with the acquisition of Legacy Worldpay. All transaction costs incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As a result of the closing of the Legacy Worldpay acquisition, the Company expensed approximately $56.6 million primarily consisting of the write-offs of unamortized deferred financing fees and original issue discount (“OID”) and fees related to previously committed unused backstop facilities associated with the component of the debt activity accounted for as a debt extinguishment and certain third party costs incurred in connection with the debt activity. Amounts expensed in connection with the refinancing are recorded as a component of non-operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018.

On June 22, 2018, the Company amended the Existing Loan Agreement by modifying certain terms of its Term A-5 Loans (January 2023 maturity date), the Term B-3 (October 2023 maturity date) and B-4 Loans (August 2024 maturity date) and Revolving Loans (January 2023 maturity date). The amendment reduced the Company’s interest rate spread on the Term B-3 and B-4 Loans by 25 basis points and changed the pricing for the Term A-5 Loans and Revolving Loans, the immediate effect of which was to lower the interest rate spread on the Term A-5 Loans and Revolving Loans by 25 basis points.

Although the Company’s total borrowings did not change as a result of the refinancing, the amendment established a new class of Term A-6 Loans of approximately £488 million as a mirror tranche to the Term A-5 Loans under the same terms and pricing. The proceeds of the Term A-6 Loans were used to refinance and replace the existing Term A-3 Loans and certain Term A-5 Loans. In addition, commitments under the Company’s Term A-5 Loans increased by $100 million and the proceeds were used to reduce the existing Term B-3 Loans and Term B-4 Loans, each by $50 million.

As a result of the repricing, the Company expensed approximately $11.4 million primarily consisting of the write-offs of unamortized deferred financing fees and OID, and certain third party costs incurred in connection with the repricing. Amounts expensed in connection with the repricing are recorded as a component of non-operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Additionally, as a result of new debt being issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Legacy Worldpay in January 2018, and the amendment to reprice the Existing Loan Agreement in June 2018, the Company capitalized approximately $23.7 million of deferred financing costs for the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2018.

2017 Debt Activity

On August 7, 2017, the Company funded the Fifth Third share purchase by amending the Second Amended Loan Agreement to permit Worldpay Holding to obtain approximately $1,270.0 million of additional seven-year term B loans. As a result of this borrowing, the Company capitalized approximately $23.1 million of deferred financing fees during the year ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017.
In connection with the Legacy Worldpay acquisition, on December 7, 2017, the Company priced an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and £470 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% senior unsecured notes due 2025, listed in the table above. The spot rate of 1.3515 U.S. dollars per Pound Sterling at December 31, 2017 was used to translate the Senior Unsecured Sterling Notes to U.S. dollars. The proceeds received in the connection with the senior unsecured notes offering were held in escrow and restricted as of December 31, 2017 pending the consummation of the acquisition, which subsequently took place on January 16, 2018.

7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
 
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
 
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of its known or expected cash payments related to its variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company’s interest rate derivative instruments for this purpose consist of interest rate swaps and interest rate cap agreements. The interest rate swaps hedge the variable rate debt by effectively converting floating-rate payments to fixed-rate payments. The interest rate cap agreements cap a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.

In May 2018, the Company entered into additional interest rate cap and swap agreements and the Company paid an upfront premium of approximately $8.1 million for the interest rate caps. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company’s interest rate cap agreements,caps, including those executed in prior years, had a fair value of $35.8$15.9 million, classified within other current and non-current assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. The interest rate swaps and caps (collectively “interest rate contracts”) are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

Additionally, during 2017 the Company entered into a deal contingent foreign currency forward contract. The foreign currency forward served as an economic hedge of the pound sterling denominated portion of the purchase price relating to the Legacy Worldpay acquisition. The foreign currency forward was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes and, as discussed below, was settled in connection with the closing of the Legacy Worldpay acquisition.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends and simplifies existing guidance to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019 with an immaterial impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company recognizes derivatives in other current and non-current assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of financial positionFinancial Position at their fair values. Refer to Note 810 - Fair Value Measurements for a detailed discussion of the fair value of its derivatives. The Company designates its interest rate contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest rate payments related to its variable-rate debt.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and underlying hedged transactions, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to forecasted transactions. A formal assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis to determine whether the hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the underlying hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is assessed using a regression analysis. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective during the term of the hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting for such derivative.

The Company’s interest rate contracts qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Therefore, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

Net Investment Hedges

To help protect the net investment in foreign operations from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments, such as its foreign currency-denominated debt, as economic hedges of its net investments in its Euro and GBP functional subsidiaries (see Note 46 - Long-Term Debt for more discussion on the Company’s foreign currency-denominated debt).

7.9. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Legal Reserve
From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability with respect to these contingent matters, management believes none of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except as described below.

Legal Settlement

On April 17, 2017, the Company entered into a preliminary settlement agreement (the “Agreement”) to settle class action litigation filed by plaintiffs in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Court”) under the caption Champs Sports Bar & Grill Co.et al. v. Mercury Payment Systems, LLC et al. regarding certain legacy business practices of the defendants, Mercury Payment Systems, LLC (“Mercury”) and Global Payments Direct, Inc., dating back to 2009. The Company acquired Mercury on June 13, 2014.

Under the terms of the Agreement, in exchange for a release from all claims relating to such legacy business practices from the beginning of the applicable settlement class period through the date of preliminary approval of the settlement, the Company incurred a charge of $38.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the settlement. Final claims data resulted in the Company recording an additional $3.5 million charge for the settlement in the fourth quarter of 2017.

While the agreement contains no admission of wrongdoing and the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims, the Company agreed to the structure of the settlement, in order to save costs and avoid the risks of on-going litigation.statements.

8.10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, based upon the available inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including but not limited to quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates or yield curves.
 
Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in millions):

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company uses interest rate contracts to manage interest rate risk. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves. The fair value of the interest rate caps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each interest rate cap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate caps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market inputs including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, to comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. In adjusting the fair value of its interest rate contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate contracts fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its interest rate contracts utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its interest rate contracts and determined that the credit valuation adjustment was not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate contracts. As a result, the Company classified its interest rate contract valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 57 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further discussion of the Company’s interest rate contracts.

Deal Contingent Forward

The Company used a foreign currency contract to manage its foreign currency exposure relating to the Worldpay transaction (see Note 5 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities). The fair value of the foreign currency forward was determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the projected settlement value of the instrument. The projected settlement value is based on the expectation of future foreign currency rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, to comply with the provisions of ASC 820, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. In adjusting the fair value of its foreign currency forward contract for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Mercury TRA

The Mercury TRA is considered contingent consideration as it is part of the consideration payable to the former owners of Mercury. Such contingent consideration is measured at fair value based on estimates of discounted future cash flows associated with the estimated payments to the Mercury TRA Holders. Through 2016, the discount rate was considered a significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Mercury TRA. However, due to the passage of time, the discount rate is no longer a significant input at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The liability recorded is re-measured at fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings as a non-operating expense.

The following table summarizes carrying amounts and estimated fair values for the Company’s financial instrument liabilities that are not reported at fair value in our consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 (in millions):

9.11.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Worldpay, Inc. by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per share is calculated assuming that Worldpay Holding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worldpay, Inc., therefore eliminating the impact of Fifth Third’s non-controlling interest. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Class B units of Worldpay Holding (“Class B units”), which are held by Fifth Third and represent the non-controlling interest in Worldpay Holding, are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Based on this conversion feature, diluted net income per share is calculated assuming the conversion of the Class B units on an “if-converted” basis. Due to the Company’s structure as a C corporation and Worldpay Holding’s structure as a pass-through entity for tax purposes, the numerator in the calculation of diluted net income per share is adjusted accordingly to reflect the Company’s income tax expense assuming the conversion of the Fifth Third non-controlling interest into Class A common stock.

During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 13.5 million weighted average Class B units of Worldpay Holding were excluded in computing diluted net loss per share because including them would have an antidilutive effect. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 23.68.7 million and 31.215.3 million respectively, weighted-average dilutive Class B units of Worldpay Holding were excluded in computing diluted net income (loss) per share because including them would have an antidilutive effect. As the Class B units of Worldpay Holding were not included, the numerator used in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) income per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income (loss) income per share for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018. As of September 30,March 31, 2019, all Class B units have been converted to Class A common stock and therefore there are no Class B units outstanding. As of March 31, 2018, and 2017, there were approximately 10.3 million and 15.3 million Class B units outstanding, respectively.outstanding.

In addition to the Class B units discussed above, due to the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, approximately 2.2 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the denominator in computing dilutive net income per share. Potentially dilutive securities during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock options, performance share awards and ESPP purchase rights. Due to the net loss for three months ended March 31, 2018, any potentially dilutive securities were also excluded from the denominator in computing dilutive net income per share.

The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

11.13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As a result of changes driven by theThe Company’s acquisition of Legacy Worldpay, the Company’s reportable segments have changed and the Company has recast the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 segment information to align with the new reportable segments. The new segments are Technology Solutions, Merchant Solutions and Issuer Solutions, which are organized based on the Company’s solution offerings. The reorganization consisted of separating the Company’s former Merchant segment into two separate segments, Technology Solutions and Merchant Solutions, with the Company’s Financial Institutions segment renamed Issuer Solutions. The Company’s Chairman of the Board and Co-ChiefChief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who evaluates the performance and allocates resources based on the operating results of each segment. The Company’s reportable segments are the same as the Company’s operating segments and there is no aggregation of the Company’s operating segments. Below is a summary of each segment:

Technology Solutions - Technology Solutions provides merchant acquiring, and payment processing and related services to a diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through eCommerce and integrated payment solutions.
Merchant Solutions - Merchant Solutions provides merchant acquiring, and payment processing and related services to a diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through an omni-channel solution including terminal based.

Issuer Solutions - Issuer Solutions provides card issuer processing, payment network processing, fraud protection and card production to a diverse set of financial institutions, including regional banks, community banks, credit unions and regional PIN networks.
Segment operating results are presented below (in millions). The results reflect revenues and expenses directly related to each segment. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data, and therefore such information is not presented.

Segment profit reflects revenue less sales and marketing costs of the segment. The Company’s CODM evaluates this metric in analyzing the results of operations for each segment.

Adjusted Net Income

We use adjusted net income for financial and operational decision making as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of our performance and results of operations. The adjusted net income is also incorporated into performance metrics underlying certain share-based payments and our annual incentive plan. We believe the adjusted net income provides useful information about our performance and operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

In calculating the adjusted net income, we make certain non-GAAP adjustments, as well as certain tax adjustments, to adjust our GAAP operating results for the items discussed below. This non-GAAP measure should be considered together with GAAP operating results.

The adjusted global effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 is approximately 19.8%20.1% and includes the impact of tax reform on U.S. federal taxes as well as the inclusion of international jurisdictions due to the acquisition of Legacy Worldpay.

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $373.7$107.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.25$1.0 billion of availability under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities. Our total indebtedness, including capitalfinance leases, was $8.0$7.5 billion as of September 30, 2018.

We have approximately $243 million of share repurchase authority remaining as of September 30, 2018 under a program authorized by the board of directors in October 2016 to repurchase up to an additional $250 million of our Class A common stock.

Purchases under the share repurchase programs are allowed from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The manner, timing, and amount of any purchases are determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, and other factors. The share repurchase programs have no expiration date and we may discontinue purchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted.

In connection with our IPO, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with Fifth Third, under which Fifth Third has the right, from time to time, to exchange their units in Worldpay Holding for shares of our Class A common stock or, at our option, cash. If we choose to satisfy the exchange in cash, we anticipate that we will fund such exchange through cash from operations, funds available under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities, equity financings or a combination thereof.March 31, 2019.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Worldpay, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. As a result, Worldpay, Inc.’s ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock, if any, is dependent upon cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from Worldpay Holding. The amounts available to Worldpay, Inc. to pay cash dividends are subject to the covenants and distribution restrictions in its subsidiaries’ loan agreements.

In addition to principal needs for liquidity discussed above, our strategy includes investing in and leveraging our integrated business model and technology platforms,platform, broadening and deepening our distribution channels, entry into new geographic markets and development of additional payment processing services. Our near-term priorities for capital allocation include debt reduction, investing in our operations to support organic growth, and share repurchases. Long-term priorities remain unchanged and include investing for growth through strategic acquisitions and returning excess capital to shareholders.

We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of other indebtedness, equity financings or a combination thereof. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and fund our capital requirements are also dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our credit facilities or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. If we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our senior secured credit facilities, which are subject to variable interest rates. WeAs discussed in Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” we hedge a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the utilization of interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate the risk of this exposure.

As discussed in Note 5 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” we currently have outstanding interest rate swaps and caps which hedge a portion of our outstanding debt.

Based on the amount outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, a change in one percentage point change in variable interest rates, after the effect of our interest rate swaps and caps effective at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense of $35.6$36.2 million on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are subject to foreign currency risk as a result of our investments in foreign entities and revenues and expenses generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As discussed in Note 57 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” we currently have net investment hedges in place to mitigate foreign currency risk. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, currency rate fluctuations calculated by converting revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 in local currency, using the December 31, 2018 and January 16, 2018 Legacy Worldpay acquisition date as the prior period rates, had an immaterial effect on our revenues and operating income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Co-ChiefChief Executive OfficersOfficer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. As a result of the closing of the Legacy Worldpay acquisition in the first quarter of 2018, the scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures did not include the internal controls over financial reporting of Legacy Worldpay. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC Staff’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of management’s assessment for one year following the acquisition. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our Co-ChiefChief Executive OfficersOfficer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of the closing of the Legacy Worldpay acquisition, we have incorporated internal controls over significant processes specific to the acquisition that we believe are appropriate and necessary in consideration of the level of related integration. As the post-closing integration continues, we will continue to review the internal controls and processes of Legacy Worldpay and may take further steps to integrate such controls and processes with those of the Company. Except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

See the information under Legal Reserve in Note 7 - Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees, which we incorporate herein by reference.us.
