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.

At the effective time of the Merger (“Effective Time”), which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2019, each share of the Class A common stock of Worldpay, par value $0.00001 per share (“Worldpay Class A Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for certain shares of Worldpay Class A Common Stock identified in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive 0.9287 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FIS (“FIS Common Stock” and, such shares, the “Share Consideration”) and $11.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Share Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). The shares of FIS Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be listed on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Following the consummation of the Merger, FIS shareholders will own approximately 53 percent and Worldpay shareholders will own approximately 47 percent of the combined company. The Merger Consideration (as of the date the Merger Agreement was executed) valued Worldpay at an enterprise value of approximately $43 billion, including the assumption of Worldpay debt, which FIS expects to refinance.

Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions for both parties, including receipt of required regulatory and shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions.

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.

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 March 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 $327.9 million and an estimated additional deferred tax asset of $502.8 million associated with the increase in the tax basis. The Company recorded an estimated corresponding increase to paid-in-capital of $174.9 million for the difference in the TRA liability and the related deferred tax asset.

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.

Expenses

Set forth below is a brief description of the components of the Company’s expenses:

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

Other operating costs primarily consist of compensation 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 consulting costs.

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits paid to executive management and administrative employees, including finance, human resources, product, legal and risk management, share-based compensation costs, office equipment, occupancy costs and consulting costs.

Non-operating income (expense) primarily consists of other income and expense items outside of the Company’s 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.

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 total share-based compensation expense was $33.0 million and $17.2 million, respectively.

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 11 - 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 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded valuation allowances against deferred tax assets of $12.6 million related to net operating losses.

The Company’s consolidated interim effective tax rate is based upon expected annual income 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 Company’s global effective tax rates were (1.1)% and 11.8% respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and include the impact of the excess tax benefit relating to share-based compensation being recorded in income tax expense. 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company has restricted cash held in money market accounts, which approximate fair value and are a level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy.

Property, Equipment and Software—net

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. Accumulated depreciation as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $585.7 million and $540.9 million, respectively.

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 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 March 31, 2019, there have been no such events or circumstances that would indicate potential impairment of finite lived intangible assets.

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.

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 Consolidated Statements of Financial 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 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 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 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further discussion.

Visa Europe and Contingent Value Rights

During June 2016, Legacy Worldpay disposed of its ownership interest in Visa Europe to Visa, Inc. In connection with the disposal, the Company agreed to pay the Legacy Worldpay owners 90% of the net-of-tax proceeds from the disposal, pending the resolution of certain historical claims and the finalization of the proceeds from disposal. The proceeds from the disposal (primarily restricted cash) and the related liability to former owners are recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Foreign Currencies

For operations outside the United States that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period and assets and liabilities are translated at spot exchange rates at the end of the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total equity. The effects of changes in exchange rates between the designated functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated are recorded as foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Recent 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 annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
    
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU presents new methodology for calculating credit losses on financial instruments (e.g. trade receivables) based on expected credit losses and expands the types of information companies must use when calculating expected losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 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.


15
 
 
 

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 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 commencing 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. 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, 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, 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 Company 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 production (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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As a result of adopting ASC 606, the Company records certain fees paid to third parties, including network fees and other costs, as a reduction of revenue. 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 (Loss) Income, Statements of Financial Position, Statements of Equity and Statements of Cash Flows.

(1) 
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 a 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 which the fees charged may or may not be related to the volume or number of transactions.

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 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 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred transaction expenses of approximately $120.8 million in conjunction with the acquisition of Legacy Worldpay. All transaction costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Under the terms of the Legacy Worldpay transaction agreement, the Company replaced equity awards held by certain employees of Legacy Worldpay. The fair value of the replacement awards was approximately $82.4 million. The portion of the fair value of the replacement awards related to the services provided prior to the acquisition of approximately $44.2 million was part of the consideration transferred to acquire Legacy Worldpay. The remaining portion of the fair value is associated with future service and will be recognized as expense over the future service period.

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships, trade name and customer portfolios and related assets. The useful lives of customer relationships are determined based on forecasted cash flows, which include estimates for customer attrition associated with the underlying portfolio of customers acquired. The customer relationships acquired in conjunction with acquisitions are amortized based on the pattern of cash flows expected to be realized taking into consideration expected revenues and customer attrition, which are based on historical data and the Company's estimates of future performance. These estimates result in accelerated amortization on certain acquired intangible assets.

$1,605 million of additional Term A loans maturing in January 2023
$535 million of additional Term B loans maturing in August 2024
$600 million of additional revolving credit commitments, resulting in total available revolving credit of $1,250 million
$594.5 million backstop (expired on June 15, 2018)

Table of Contents
Worldpay, Inc.
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 three months ended 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.

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 year ended December 31, 2018.

2019 Debt Activity

On January 15, 2019, the Company paid down the outstanding balance on its Term B-3 Loan in the amount of $520.1 million, which resulted in a write-off of debt issuance costs and original issue discount of approximately $2.4 million recorded as a component of non-operating expenses in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Guarantees and Security
The Company’s debt obligations at March 31, 2019 are unconditional and, with the exception of the Euro Note, are guaranteed by Worldpay Holding and certain of Worldpay Holding’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries. The refinanced debt and related guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis (subject to liens permitted under the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) by a lien on substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the aforementioned subsidiaries, including substantially all the capital stock (subject to a 65% limitation on pledges of capital stock of foreign subsidiaries and domestic holding companies of foreign subsidiaries) and personal property of Worldpay Holding and any obligors under the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as well as any real property in excess of $25 million in the aggregate held by Worldpay Holding or any obligors (other than Worldpay Holding), subject to certain exceptions. The Euro Note is guaranteed by Worldpay Group Limited. Additionally, the Euro Note is also guaranteed by Worldpay LLC as a result of the Company receiving the required consent from the Euro Note holders in July 2018 to relieve reporting requirements associated with those notes.

Covenants

There are certain financial and non-financial covenants contained in the Existing Loan Agreement for the refinanced debt, which are tested on a quarterly basis. The financial covenants require maintenance of certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. At March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 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 March 31, 2019, the Company’s interest rate caps, including those executed in prior years, had a fair value of $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.

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 Statements of Financial Position at their fair values. Refer to Note 10 - 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.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2019, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $15.8 million.

Deal Contingent Forward

On August 9, 2017, the Company entered into a £1,150 million notional deal contingent forward to economically hedge a portion of the purchase price relating to the Legacy Worldpay acquisition. The deal contingent forward settled upon the closing of the Legacy Worldpay acquisition in January 2018 and the Company recognized a related realized gain of approximately $69.0 million, of which approximately $35.9 million of the gain relates to the three months ended March 31, 2018, which is recorded in non-operating expense.

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 6 - Long-Term Debt for more discussion on the Company’s foreign currency-denominated debt). The Company designated 100% of its Euro and GBP denominated debt as net investment hedges.

The Company’s net investment hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized in other comprehensive income pre-tax losses of $3.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively, relating to these net investment hedges. Reclassifications out of OCI would only take place if the Company’s subsidiaries were sold or substantially liquidated.

8. CONTROLLING AND NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company accounts for non-controlling interests in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. Prior to the March 2019 Fifth Third Stock Sale discussed in Note 1- Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Worldpay, Inc. owned a controlling interest in Worldpay Holding, and therefore consolidated the financial results of Worldpay Holding and its subsidiaries and recorded non-controlling interest for the economic interests in Worldpay Holding held by Fifth Third, which primarily represented Fifth Third’s minority share of net income or loss of equity in Worldpay Holding. The Exchange Agreement entered into prior to the IPO provided for a 1 to 1 ratio between the units of Worldpay Holding and the common stock of Worldpay, Inc. 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.

The Company also records non-controlling interest related to its 51% ownership in a joint venture.

As a result of the Fifth Third Stock Sale (See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion), Worldpay, Inc. owned 100% interest in Worldpay Holding as of March 31, 2019. Changes in units and related ownership interest in Worldpay Holding are summarized as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


As a result of the changes in ownership interests in Worldpay Holding, periodic adjustments are made in order to reflect the portion of net assets of Worldpay Holding attributable to non-controlling unit holders based on changes in the proportionate ownership interests in Worldpay Holding during those periods. At March 31, 2019, an adjustment of $347.4 million was made relating to Fifth Third’s conversion of its remaining Class B units in Worldpay Holding.

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.

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.

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 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 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further discussion of the Company’s interest rate contracts.

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. 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in millions):

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

We consider that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value (Level 1) given the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable was estimated based on rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 8.7 million and 15.3 million 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) per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of 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, there were approximately 15.3 million Class B units outstanding.

In addition to the Class B units discussed above, potentially dilutive securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 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 per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s segments are Technology Solutions, Merchant Solutions and Issuer Solutions, which are organized based on the Company’s solution offerings. The Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief 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, 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, payment processing and related services to a diverse set of merchants that primarily accept payments through an omni-channel solution including terminal based.

Merger with Fidelity National Information Services (“FIS”)

On March 18, 2019, Worldpay and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”) issued a joint press release announcing that Worldpay, FIS and Wrangler Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIS (“Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated March 17, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Worldpay (the “Merger”), with Worldpay being the surviving corporation in the Merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIS.

At the effective time of the Merger (“Effective Time”), which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2019, each share of the Class A common stock of Worldpay, par value $0.00001 per share (“Worldpay Class A Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for certain shares of Worldpay Class A Common Stock identified in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive 0.9287 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FIS (“FIS Common Stock” and, such shares, the “Share Consideration”) and $11.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Share Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). The shares of FIS Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be listed on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Following the consummation of the Merger, FIS shareholders will own approximately 53 percent and Worldpay shareholders will own

On January 16, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Worldpay Group Limited, formerly Worldpay Group plc, a public limited company (“Legacy Worldpay”) by acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding shares. The acquisition created a leading global integrated payment technology and international eCommerce payment provider and will enable us to take advantage of strategic and innovative opportunities to provide differentiated and diversified solutions to address clients’ needs.

Please see Note 4 - Business Combinations in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information about the acquisition.

Expenses

Set forth below is a brief description of the components of our expenses:

Sales and marketing expense primarily consists of compensation, 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 compensation and benefits paid to operational and IT personnel, costs associated with operating our technology platform and data centers, information technology costs for processing transactions, product development costs, software fees, maintenance costs, occupancy costs and consulting costs.

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits paid to executive management and administrative employees, including finance, human resources, product, legal and risk management, share-based compensation costs, office equipment, occupancy costs and consulting costs. The three months ended March 31, 2018 includes a significant amount of transition, acquisition and integration costs related to the Legacy Worldpay acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation expense related to investments in property, equipment and software as well as our amortization of intangible assets.

Interest expense—net consists primarily of interest on borrowings less interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Income tax expense (benefit) represents foreign, federal, state and local taxes based on income/loss.

Non-operating income (expense) primarily consists of other income and expense items outside of the Company’s operating activities.

Non-Controlling Interest

Since Fifth Third had a non-controlling interests in Worldpay Holding through March 2019, our results of operations include net income attributable to non-controlling interests. As a result of the March 2019 Fifth Third Stock Sale discussed in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” Fifth Third no longer has non-controlling interests in Worldpay Holding. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests continues to include the non-controlling interest related to a joint venture with a bank partner. See Note 8 - Controlling and Non-Controlling Interests in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information.

Factors and Trends Impacting Our Business and Results of Operations

The majority of our revenues are generated by services priced as a percentage of transaction value, a specified fee per transaction, a fixed fee, or a combination. We also generate revenue based on products and specific value-added services that may or may not be related to the volume or number of transactions. These revenues depend upon a number of factors such as demand for and price of our products or services, the technological competitiveness of our offerings, our reputation for providing timely and reliable products and services, competition within our industry and general economic conditions.

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.

Table of Contents




Non-GAAP Adjustments

Transition, Acquisition and Integration Costs

In connection with our acquisitions, we incur costs associated with the acquisitions and related integration activities, consisting primarily of consulting fees for advisory, conversion and integration services and related personnel costs. Also included in these expenses are costs related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities. These transition, acquisition and integration costs are included in other operating costs and general and administrative expenses.

Share-Based Compensation

We have granted share-based awards to certain employees and members of our board of directors and intend to continue to grant additional share-based awards in the future. Share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense.

Intangible Amortization Expense

These expenses represent amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions as well as depreciation of acquired software.

Non-operating Income (Expense)

Non-operating income (expense) primarily consists of other income and expense items outside of the Company’s operating activities.

Tax Adjustments

Income Tax Expense Adjustments

Our effective tax rate reported in our results of operations reflects the impact of our non-controlling interests not being taxed at the statutory corporate tax rate. For purposes of calculating the adjusted net income, income tax expense is adjusted accordingly to reflect an effective tax rate assuming conversion of Fifth Third’s non-controlling interests into shares of Class A common stock, including the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments described above. The adjusted global effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is approximately 20.1% and is expected to remain at approximately 20.1% for the remainder of 2019. The adjusted global effective tax rate was 19.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Other Tax Adjustments

In addition to the adjustment described above, income tax expense is also adjusted for the cash tax benefits resulting from certain tax attributes, primarily the amortization of tax intangible assets resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third and the purchase or exchange of units of Worldpay Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements (“TRAs”). The estimate of the cash tax benefits is based on the consistent and highly predictable realization of the underlying tax attributes.

The following table provides a schedule of the tax adjustments discussed above which are reflected in the adjusted net income table below (in millions):

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

The Revenue, Sales and Marketing, Other Operating Costs and General and Administrative disclosures below exclude Legacy Worldpay results prior to the January 16, 2018 acquisition date for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Revenue

Revenue increased 14% to $970.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $850.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $63.8 million of Legacy Worldpay generated revenue prior to our acquisition. Additionally, strong growth in our Technology Solutions segment contributed to the increase.

Table of Contents



Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense increased 9% to $290.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $266.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $12.9 million of Legacy Worldpay sales and marketing expense prior to our acquisition. Higher residual payments to referral partners as a result of increased revenue in both our Technology Solutions and Merchant Solutions segments contributed to the increase.

Other Operating Costs

Other operating costs increased 17% to $181.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $155.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $12.3 million of Legacy Worldpay other operating costs prior to our acquisition. When excluding transition, acquisition and integration costs, other operating costs increased to $160.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $144.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $12.1 million of Legacy Worldpay other operating costs prior to our acquisition when excluding transition, acquisition and integration costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased 49% to $127.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $250.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $66.2 million of Legacy Worldpay general and administrative expense prior to our acquisition. When excluding transition, acquisition and integration costs, as well as share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses increased to $72.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $65.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $10.0 million of Legacy Worldpay general and administrative expenses prior to our acquisition when excluding transition, acquisition and integration costs as well as share-based compensation expense. When including the 2018 period prior to our acquisition, the decrease in general and administrative expenses when excluding transition, acquisition and integration costs as well as share-based compensation expense is primarily attributable to corporate overhead efficiencies.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense associated with our property, equipment and software increased to $67.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $57.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $4.9 million of Legacy Worldpay depreciation expense prior to our acquisition.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets, which consist primarily of customer relationship intangible assets, increased to $197.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $149.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $2.3 million of Legacy Worldpay amortization expense prior to our acquisition. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of customer relationship intangible assets as a result of recent acquisitions.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased to $106.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from a loss of $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Interest Expense—Net

Interest expense—net decreased to $72.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $75.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior year period excludes $2.8 million of Legacy Worldpay interest expense-net prior to our acquisition. The decrease in interest expense-net is primarily related to additional debt paydowns and increased interest income, partially offset by higher interest rates.

Non-Operating Income (Expense)

Non-operating income was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily relates to foreign currency gains, partially offset by losses associated with the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection with the early paydown of debt and the change in fair value of the Mercury TRA.

Table of Contents



Non-operating expense was $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily relating to our financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Legacy Worldpay acquisition and the change in fair value of the Mercury TRA, partially offset by a gain on the settlement of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with our acquisition of Legacy Worldpay.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0.4 million and $13.2 million, reflecting global effective rates of (1.1)% and 11.8%, respectively. Our global effective tax rates reflect the impact of our non-controlling interests not being taxed at the statutory U.S. corporate tax rates.

Sales and marketing expense increased 3% to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity is funded primarily through cash provided by operations, debt and a line of credit, which is generally sufficient to fund our operations, planned capital expenditures, tax distributions made to our non-controlling interest holders, required payments under our TRA agreements, debt service and acquisitions. As of March 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $107.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion of availability under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities. Our total indebtedness, including finance leases, was $7.5 billion as of 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 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.

However, as a result of the Merger Agreement with FIS, we are precluded from paying dividends, share repurchases, debt issuances and equity financings.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $166.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $84.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase reflects net income compared to a net loss in the prior period and an adjustment to add back increased depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by increased net cash outflow due to changes in working capital.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $88.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $1,406.1 million of cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The prior period includes cash acquired relating to the acquisition of Legacy Worldpay in January 2018.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $422.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $75.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted primarily of the repayment of debt and finance leases, payments relating to tax receivable agreements, partially offset by incremental borrowings. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 consisted primarily of proceeds from issuance of additional debt, partially offset by the repayment of debt and finance leases, settlement and payments under tax receivable agreements and addendums and distributions to non-controlling interests.

Credit Facilities

At March 31, 2019, we have $7.5 billion of outstanding debt, which includes $246 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. See additional discussion in Note 6 - Long-Term Debt in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.”

We are required to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than established thresholds (based upon the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the loan agreement) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (based upon the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense), which are tested quarterly based on the last four fiscal quarters. The required financial ratios become more restrictive over time, with the specific ratios required by period set forth in the table below:
Period
 
Leverage

As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants with a leverage ratio of 3.77 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio of 6.69 to 1.00.

Interest Rate Swaps, Caps and Net Investment Hedges

As of March 31, 2019, we have interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The currently effective interest rate swaps and caps hedge $2.2 billion of our approximately $5.6 billion of variable rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2019. The Company also has designated a portion of its Euro denominated debt and 100% of its GBP denominated debt as net investment hedges. See Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information about the interest rate swaps, caps and net investment hedges.

Tax Receivable Agreements

As of March 31, 2019, we are party to several TRAs in which we have agreed to make payments to various parties of 85% of the federal, state, local and foreign income tax benefits realized by us as a result of certain tax deductions.

As discussed in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” Fifth Third exchanged its remaining 10.3 million Class B units of Worldpay Holding for shares of Worldpay, Inc. Class A common stock in March 2019.

As a result of the March 2019 Fifth Third exchange of units of Worldpay Holding, we recorded an estimated additional liability under the Fifth Third TRA of $327.9 million and an estimated additional deferred tax asset of $502.8 million associated with the increase in the tax basis. We recorded an estimated corresponding increase to paid-in-capital of $174.9 million for the difference in the TRA liability and the related deferred tax asset.

For more information on the TRAs, see Note 8 - Tax Receivable Agreements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2019.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to contractual obligations and commitments compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical estimates giving consideration to a combination of factors, including historical experience, current conditions and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) on January 1, 2019 as discussed in Note 3 - Leases and Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities in “Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements,” we have not adopted any new critical accounting policies, have not changed any critical accounting policies and have not changed the application of any critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2018. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described fully within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

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. As 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.

Based on the amount outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities at March 31, 2019, a one percentage point change in variable interest rates, after the effect of our interest rate swaps and caps effective at March 31, 2019, would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense of $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 7 - 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of 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. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer 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 March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our 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 adverse effect on us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Additionally, the information set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in FIS’s Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019 (the “FIS S-4”) is incorporated by reference. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, cause the trading price of our common stock to decline materially or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of Worldpay. These risks are not exclusive, and additional risks to which we are subject include, but are not limited to, the risks of our businesses described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in (i) Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the FIS S-4.

5.    Severance Pay. Subject to the eligibility requirements of the Plan and compliance with all other applicable provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the Release and the Restrictive





Covenants in Section 9, in the event of a Qualifying Termination with respect to a Participant, such Participant will be entitled to receive severance pay and benefits in accordance with the terms as set forth below.

Executive Officer Participants and Senior Officer Participants: Participants and family are entitled continued group coverage under COBRA under the Company’s medical and dental plans in which the Participant participated prior to the termination.
All Participants: In addition to the above benefits, all Participants are entitled to the Accrued Benefits.
6.    Impact of Section 4999 Excise Tax: Maximum After-Tax Benefit Following a
Change of Control.
  
a.    In the event that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to a Participant under this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement and agreement applicable to such Participant, constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) of the Code subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”) the amount of excess parachute payments which would otherwise be payable to such Participant or for such Participant’s benefit under the Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount of the Parachute Amount is subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 (the “Reduced Amount”); provided that such amounts shall not be so reduced if, without such reduction, such Participant would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, after any excise taxes payable under Section 4999), an amount of the Parachute Amount which is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that such Participant would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced





Amount. For purposes of determining such net after-tax amount, all taxes as would be imposed on such Participant with respect thereto under Sections 1, 3101 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws, shall be taken into account and determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws that applied to such Participant.  All determinations with respect to the Parachute Amount shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or other firm that is retained and paid by the Company for such purpose prior to the Change of Control, which firm shall not, without such Participant’s consent, be changed following the Change of Control. Such determinations shall be binding upon the Company.

b.    If the determination made pursuant to Section 6(a) results in a reduction of the payments (to the Reduced Amount) that would otherwise be paid to such Participant except for the application of Section 6(a), such payments due under this Agreement shall be reduced in the order set forth in Section 6(c); provided, however, that if any payment is not considered a parachute payment, then such payment shall not be subject to reduction and shall be ignored for purposes of such reduction provision. Such determination shall be made promptly following the Change of Control and as appropriate thereafter, in order to permit payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 above.

c.    If a reduced amount is to be paid pursuant to the application of Section 6(a), the reduction in the payments and benefits shall be applied in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable or deliverable last reduced first; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); (iv) payments due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) above will be next reduced pro-rata. Such reductions shall be applied in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

7.    Plan Administration and Interpretation. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole authority in the exercise of its discretion to interpret, apply, and administer the terms of the Plan and to determine eligibility for benefits of the Plan and the amount of any benefits under the Plan, and its determination of any such matters shall be final and binding and be given the maximum deference allowed by law. Benefits under the Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a Participant or beneficiary is entitled to them. The Plan Administrator may delegate in writing to any other person all or any portion of its authority or responsibility with respect to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7 shall be modified by the provisions of Section 23 during the Change of Control Protection Period.

8.    Release. The severance compensation and benefits to be provided under Section 5 shall be provided only if the Participant timely executes and does not timely revoke the Release, which becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination. If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination, the Participant will not be entitled to any payment or benefit under the Plan. The Company will provide the Release to the Participant no later than three (3) days after





the date of the Qualifying Termination.

9.    Restrictive Covenants. The severance compensation and benefits to be provided under Section 5 are subject to the Participant’s compliance with the covenants as set forth below in subsections (a) through (e).

a.Non-Competition: During the Restricted Period, the Participant agrees not to compete in any manner, either directly or indirectly, whether for compensation or otherwise, with the Company, including by, entering into an ownership, consulting or employment arrangement with, or rendering services for or to, any individual or entity, accept or provide assistance in the accepting of (including, but not limited to, providing any service, information or assistance or other facilitation or other involvement) business or orders from customers or any potential customers of the Business or the Company or any of its Affiliates with whom the Participant has had contact, involvement, or responsibility on behalf of any third party or otherwise, or to assist any other person or entity to compete with the Business or the Company by either:

(i)producing, developing or marketing, rendering services or handling products competitive with the Business or the Company in any geographic region or territory in which Participant worked or had responsibility during the eighteen (18) month period preceding departure from the Company, or assisting others to produce, develop or market, or render such services or products; or
(ii)    accepting employment from or having any other relationship (including, without limitation, through owning, managing, operating, controlling or consulting) with any entity that produces, develops, or markets a product, process, or service that is competitive with those products, processes, or services of the Business or the Company or any of its Affiliates, whether existing or planned for the future, on which the Participant has worked, or concerning which Participant has in any manner acquired knowledge of or had access to Confidential Information, during the eighteen (18) months preceding termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate, provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this subsection (a) for a Participant to have beneficial ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding amount of any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system.

b.Non-Solicitation: During the Restricted Period, the Participant agrees that the Participant will not, either on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit any person or entity that is a customer of the Business or the Company or any of its Affiliates, or has been a customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates during the prior eighteen (18) months, to purchase any products or services the Business or the Company or any of its Affiliates provided or provides to the customer, (b) interfere with any of the Business’s or the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ business relationships, or (c) directly or indirectly solicit, divert, entice or take away any potential customer identified, selected or targeted by the Business or the Company or any of its Affiliates with whom the Participant had contact, involvement or responsibility during the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Affiliates, or attempt to do so for the sale of any product or service that competes with a product or service offered by the Business or the Company or any of its Affiliates.

c.No-Hire: During the Restricted Period, the Participant agrees that the Participant will not, either on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or encourage to leave the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates any Employee who is then an Employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or was





such an Employee within twelve (12) months of the date of such hiring, soliciting, or encouragement to leave.

d.Confidentiality: The Participant will not at any time (whether during or after the Participant’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates) disclose, divulge, transfer or provide access to, or use for the benefit of, any third party outside of the Company (other than as necessary to perform the Participant’s employment duties) any Confidential Information without prior authorization of the Company. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason, the Participant shall return any and all Confidential Information and other property of the Company or its Affiliates then in the Participant’s possession.

e.Non-Disparagement: The Participant agrees that the Participant will not make disparaging statements, in any form, about the Company or its Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, Employees, products or services which the Participant knows, or has reason to believe, are false or misleading. The Company agrees that it shall instruct its directors and officers not to make false or misleading disparaging statements, in any form, about the Participant.

10.    No Mitigation. In no event shall the Participant be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Participant under any of the provisions of the Plan and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Participant obtains other employment.

11.    Plan Effect. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, any benefit or compensation to which a Participant is entitled under any agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates or under any plan maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates in which the Participant participates or participated shall not be modified or lessened in any way as a consequence of the Participant’s participation in this Plan, but shall remain payable or provided according to the terms of the applicable plan or agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to remain in the employ of, or continue to provide services to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other agreement binding on the parties. Designation of an Employee as a Participant in the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the Participant except as set forth herein. The Plan shall constitute an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

12.    Claims Procedure. Severance benefits will be provided to each Participant as provided in the Plan. If a Participant believes that he or she has not been provided with the severance benefits to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, then the Participant must file a request for review within ninety (90) days after the date he or she should have received such benefits under the Plan. The request for review must be made in writing and submitted to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator will respond to the request for review within ninety (90) days after it is received setting forth, in writing, the reasons for the determination. If the Participant’s request for review is denied, the Participant may, within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of such denial, file an appeal to the General Counsel of the Company, setting forth the reason why the Participant disagrees with the initial determination. The General Counsel shall respond to this request for reconsideration within sixty (60) days after it is received setting forth, in writing, the reasons for the determination. A Participant who fails to file an appeal within the sixty (60) day period set forth in this Section 12 shall be prohibited from doing so at a later date or from bringing an action under ERISA.

If the Participant subsequently wishes to submit an arbitration claim under the Plan pursuant to Section 15 hereof, the demand for arbitration must be made within ninety (90) days after the General Counsel’s final decision. No demand for arbitration shall be brought to recover benefits under the Plan unless





and until the claims procedure rights herein provided have been exhausted and the Plan benefits requested in such claims process have been finally denied in whole or in part.

13.    Acceptance Deemed. By accepting any payment or benefit under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through any such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any action taken under the Plan by the Plan Administrator or the Company or its Affiliates, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
-
14.    Successors. The Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under the Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of a Change of Control or any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

The Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, and/or legatees. The rights under the Plan are personal in nature and neither the Company nor any Participant shall, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant’s right to receive any benefits hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by his or her will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section, the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated.

15.    Resolutions of Disputes. Other than disputes arising under Section 9 hereof (which a party may enforce through legal process), any other controversies arising out of or relating to the validity, interpretation, enforceability, or performance of the Plan, including any claim by a Participant for benefits hereunder, will be solely and finally settled by means of binding arbitration in Cincinnati, Ohio. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties. All arbitrator’s fees and related expenses shall be divided equally between the parties.

In the case of a dispute subject to arbitration with respect to a termination occurring outside of the Change of Control Protection Period, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees the prevailing party incurs in connection with the appeal or the enforcement of an arbitration award. Any award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party shall be paid within sixty (60) days following the award of such fees and costs by the arbitrator. In the case of a dispute with respect to a termination occurring during the Change of Control Protection Period, if a Participant prevails with respect any material issue, the Company shall reimburse the Participant for the Participant’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with such dispute.

16.    Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under the Plan such federal, state, local or other taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

17.     Notice. For the purpose of the Plan, notices and all other communications provided for in this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when actually delivered or mailed





by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the General Counsel (or, in the case of an initial request for review pursuant to Section 12 hereof, to the Plan Administrator) at the Company’s corporate headquarters address, and to the Participant at the last address of the Participant on the Company’s books and records.

18.    Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the provisions of the Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

19.    Validity and Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction, shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
20.    Headings; Interpretation. Headings in the Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the masculine pronoun wherever used herein shall be construed to include the feminine pronoun.

21.    Section 409A. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan shall be exempt from the application of the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in a manner that effects such intent, and the Plan Administrator shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such intent. Specifically, any taxable benefits or payments provided under this Plan are intended to be separate payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception to Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent they do not so qualify, are intended to qualify for the separation pay exceptions to Section 409A of the Code, to the maximum extent possible. To the extent that none of these exceptions (or any other available exception) applies, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, if a Participant is a “specified employee,” as determined under the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees on the date of his or her Qualifying Termination, then all amounts due under the Plan that constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, that are provided as a result of a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and that would otherwise be paid or provided during the first six months following the date of termination, shall be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first business day that is more than six months after the date of the date of termination (or, if the Participant dies during such six-month period, within 90 days after the Participant’s death).

With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code: (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Participant’s calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense occurred, or such earlier date as required hereunder.

The payments and benefits provided under this Plan may not be deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon Participants. The tax treatment of the benefits provided under this Plan is not warranted or guaranteed to the Participants. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary





amounts owed by a Participant (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) as a result of this Plan. In the event of a Change of Control which does not constitute a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v), (vi) or (vii), the payment schedule applicable to a Qualifying Termination outside of a Change in Control Protection Period shall apply to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

22.    Unfunded Plan Status. The Plan shall be unfunded and is intended to provide benefits to a select group of management and highly compensated employees. All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment. No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in the Plan.

23.    Special Provisions Following Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a dispute arising with respect to entitlement to payments and benefits under the Plan in connection with a termination occurring during the Change of Control Protection Period, determinations of the Board or the Plan Administrator (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the existence of Cause or Good Reason or compliance with the requirements of Section 9) shall not be entitled to deference and shall be reviewed de novo for purposes of Section 12 hereof and any subsequent arbitration or court proceeding.

24.    Plan Termination and Amendment. The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Participants except to the extent required by this Section 24. Any such amendment or termination shall be made by the Board or by action of a person or persons duly authorized by the Board. All Participants shall receive any benefits to which they have become entitled under the Plan on or before the date the Plan terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) an amendment or termination that eliminates any Participant or reduces benefits payable under the Plan or changes a Participant’s participation level will not be effective until one (1) year after written notice is provided to the Participants affected by such amendment or termination, (ii) an amendment, termination or change in participation level that eliminates any Participant or reduces benefits payable under the Plan will not be effective if a Change of Control occurs during the one (1) year notice period, and (iii) an amendment or termination or change in participation level that eliminates any Participant or reduces benefits payable under the Plan will not be effective if it is adopted during a Change of Control Protection Period.
