Derivative financial instruments | Derivative financial instruments The Company is exposed to the risk of rate fluctuations on its foreign currency assets and liabilities and on foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rates. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments consist of deliverable and non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts, treasury rate locks and interest rate swaps. The Company enters into these contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material. The forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps mature during a period of up to 51 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period. The following table presents the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding derivative financial instruments together with the related balance sheet exposure: Notional principal amounts (Note a) Balance sheet exposure asset (liability) (Note b) As of December 31, 2022 As of September 30, 2023 As of December 31, 2022 As of September 30, 2023 Foreign exchange forward contracts denominated in: United States Dollars (sell) Indian Rupees (buy) $ 1,587,500 $ 1,720,500 $ (25,581) $ (2,339) United States Dollars (sell) Mexican Peso (buy) 24,000 54,750 1,079 1,617 United States Dollars (sell) Philippines Peso (buy) 79,200 102,300 (828) (1,629) Euro (sell) United States Dollars (buy) 182,163 168,663 480 4,916 Singapore Dollars (buy) United States Dollars (sell) 50,956 50,956 166 (922) Euro (sell) Romanian Leu (buy) 51,115 50,779 848 608 Japanese Yen (sell) Chinese Renminbi (buy) 8,185 25,758 (327) 1,956 United States Dollars (sell) Chinese Renminbi (buy) 41,000 43,500 605 (2,039) Pound Sterling (sell) United States Dollars (buy) 32,594 21,659 1,113 524 United States Dollars (sell) Hungarian Font (buy) 12,000 35,000 828 (1,090) Australian Dollars (sell) Indian Rupees (buy) 87,513 98,181 (452) 3,655 United States Dollars (Sell) Polish Zloty (buy) 24,000 44,500 1,372 (1,445) Japanese Yen (sell) United States Dollars (buy) 10,000 7,000 (1,134) 580 Israeli Shekel (sell) United States Dollars (buy) 3,000 — 3 — South African Rand (sell) United States Dollars (buy) 21,000 27,000 (1,652) 1,023 United States Dollars (Sell) Brazilian Real (buy) — 4,000 — (126) United States Dollars (Sell) Costa Rica Colon (buy) — 13,000 — 344 Pound Sterling (buy) United States Dollar (Sell) — 29,734 — (330) Interest rate swaps (floating to fixed) 432,248 — 6,350 — $ (17,130) $ 5,303 (a) Notional amounts are key elements of derivative financial instrument agreements but do not represent the amount exchanged by counterparties and do not measure the Company’s exposure to credit, foreign exchange, interest rate or market risks. However, the amounts exchanged are based on the notional amounts and other provisions of the underlying derivative financial instrument agreements. Notional amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars. (b) Balance sheet exposure is denominated in U.S. dollars and denotes the mark-to-market impact of the derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. 6. Derivative financial instruments (Continued) FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with the FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging, the Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to cover the effects of future exchange rate variability on forecasted revenues and purchases of services, and interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks are entered into to cover interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition to this program, the Company uses derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges under the FASB guidance in order to hedge foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and their location in the Company’s financial statements are summarized in the table below: Cash flow hedges Non-designated As of December 31, 2022 As of September 30, 2023 As of December 31, 2022 As of September 30, 2023 Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 17,531 $ 14,366 $ 2,151 $ 2,894 Other assets $ 2,005 $ 5,809 $ — $ — Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 23,662 $ 10,199 $ 11,495 $ 4,958 Other liabilities $ 3,660 $ 2,554 $ — $ 55 Cash flow hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain (loss) on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Gains (losses) on the derivatives, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings as incurred. The Company executed a treasury rate lock agreement for $350,000 in connection with future interest payments to be made on its senior notes issued by Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Genpact Luxembourg”) and Genpact USA, Inc. (“Genpact USA”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, in March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”), and the treasury rate lock was designated as a cash flow hedge. The treasury rate lock agreement was terminated on March 23, 2021 and a deferred gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2021 Senior Notes. The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreement as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023 was $530 and $409, respectively. 6.
