(1)The amount of goodwill attributable to the acquisitions of Worldpay and Virtus, including its allocation to reportable segments, is preliminary and subject to change.

We assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. We concluded as a result of our fourth quarter 2019 step zero annual impairment tests that it remained more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units continued to exceed their carrying amounts. Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated if events and circumstances as of March 31, 2020, indicated potential impairment. We performed a qualitative assessment by examining factors most likely to affect our valuations and considered the impact to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic. The factors examined involve significant use of management judgment and included, among others, (1) forecasted revenue, growth rates, operating margins, and capital expenditures used to calculate estimated future cash flows, (2) future economic and market conditions and (3) the reduction in FIS’ market capitalization.

Based on our interim impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020, we concluded that it remained more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units continued to exceed their carrying amounts; therefore, goodwill was not impaired. However, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that future developments related to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Merchant Solutions business, such as an extended duration of the pandemic and/or governmental imposed shutdowns, prolonged economic downturn or recession, or lack of governmental support for recovery, could have a material impact on one or more of the estimates and assumptions used to evaluate goodwill impairment and could result in future goodwill impairment.

Visa Europe and Contingent Value Rights

As part of the Worldpay acquisition, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities related to the June 2016 Worldpay Group plc (Legacy Worldpay) disposal of its ownership interest in Visa Europe to Visa Inc. As part of the disposal, Legacy Worldpay received consideration from Visa Inc. in the form of cash and convertible Visa Inc. Series B preferred stock ("preferred stock"), the value of which may be reduced by settlement of potential liabilities relating to ongoing interchange-related litigation involving Visa Europe. Also in connection with the disposal, Legacy Worldpay agreed to pay former Legacy Worldpay owners 90% of the net-of-tax proceeds from the disposal, known as contingent value rights ("CVR"), pending the finalization of the proceeds from disposal, which is expected to occur no later than June 2028, at which time the preferred stock is subject to mandatory conversion into Visa Inc. Class A common stock.

The Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"), for measuring its preferred stock asset and related CVR liability. The estimated fair value of the preferred stock and related CVR liability are determined using Level 3-type measurements. Significant inputs into the valuation of the preferred stock include the Visa Inc. Class A common stock price per share and the conversion ratio, which are observable, and an estimate of potential losses that will result from the ongoing litigation involving Visa Europe, which is unobservable. The Company engaged third-party valuation specialists and external counsel to assist management in making the fair value determination for the preferred stock. The fair value of the preferred stock was $320 million and $400 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, recorded in Other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the CVR liability is determined based on 90% of the net-of-tax proceeds from the disposal, including the preferred stock and the cash consideration. The portion of the cash consideration that is payable as part of the CVR liability is

segregated pursuant to contractual provisions and reflected as restricted cash in the amount of $531 million and $540 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, recorded in Other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the CVR liability was $770 million and $838 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to ASC 825, the Company remeasures the fair value of the preferred stock and related CVR liability each reporting period. The net change in fair value was $20 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, recorded in Other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of earnings.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.
Segments	FIS reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Merchant Solutions, Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions, and Corporate and Other. As FIS continues to execute on its integration workflows and optimize its portfolio of assets, it reclassified certain non-strategic businesses from the Merchant Solutions and Banking Solutions segments into the Corporate and Other segment in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and recast all prior-period segment information presented. These operations represented less than 2% of first quarter 2020 revenue.
Change in Accounting Policy	The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("Topic 326"), with an adoption date of January 1, 2020. As a result, the Company changed its accounting policy for allowance for credit losses. The accounting policy pursuant to Topic 326 for credit losses is disclosed below. The adoption of Topic 326 resulted in an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment recorded in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.
Allowance for Credit Losses	The Company monitors trade receivable balances including contract assets as well as other receivables and estimates the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Estimates of expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

FIS reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Merchant Solutions, Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions, and Corporate and Other. As the Company continues to execute on its integration workflows and optimize its portfolio of assets, the Company reclassified certain non-strategic businesses from the Merchant Solutions and Banking Solutions segments into the Corporate and Other segment and recast all prior-period segment information presented. Below is a summary of each segment.

Merchant Solutions ("Merchant")

The Merchant segment is focused on serving merchants of all sizes globally, enabling them to accept electronic payments, including credit, debit and prepaid payments originated at a physical point of sale, as well as contactless card, mobile wallet, and card-not present payments in eCommerce and mobile environments. Merchant 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. Merchant also includes value-added services, such as security and fraud prevention solutions, advanced data analytics and information management solutions, foreign

currency management and numerous funding options. Merchant serves clients in over 140 countries. Our Merchant clients are highly-diversified, including non-discretionary everyday spend categories, such as grocery and pharmacy, and include national retailers, as well as global enterprises and small- to medium-sized businesses. The Merchant segment utilizes broad and varied distribution channels, including direct sales forces and multiple referral partner relationships that provide us with a growing and diverse client base.

Banking Solutions ("Banking")

The Banking segment is focused on serving all sizes of financial institutions for core processing and ancillary applications solutions; digital solutions; fraud, risk management and compliance solutions; electronic funds transfer and network services solutions; payment solutions; wealth and retirement solutions; item processing and output services solutions and services capitalizing on the continuing trend to outsource these solutions. Clients in this segment include global financial institutions, U.S. regional and community banks, credit unions and commercial lenders, as well as government institutions, and other commercial organizations. Banking serves clients in more than 130 countries. Our applications include core processing software, which clients use to maintain the primary records of their customer accounts, and complementary applications and services that interact directly with the core processing applications. We provide our clients integrated solutions characterized by multi-year processing contracts that generate highly recurring revenue. The predictable nature of cash flows generated from the Banking segment provides opportunities for further investments in innovation, integration, information and security, and compliance in a cost-effective manner.

Capital Market Solutions ("Capital Markets")

The Capital Markets segment is focused on serving global financial services clients with a broad array of buy- and sell-side solutions. Clients in this segment operate in more than 100 countries and include asset managers, buy- and sell-side securities brokerage and trading firms, insurers, private equity firms, and other commercial organizations. Our buy- and sell-side solutions include a variety of mission-critical applications for record keeping, data and analytics, trading, financing and risk management. Capital Markets clients purchase our solutions and services in various ways including licensing and managing technology "in-house," using consulting and third-party service providers, as well as procuring fully outsourced end-to-end solutions. We have long-established relationships with many of these financial and commercial institutions that generate significant recurring revenue. We have made, and continue to make, investments in modern platforms; advanced technologies, such as cloud delivery, open APIs, machine learning and artificial intelligence; and regulatory technology to support our Capital Markets clients.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment consists of corporate overhead expense, certain leveraged functions and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments, as well as certain non-strategic businesses. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to corporate marketing, corporate finance and accounting, human resources, legal, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs, such as acquisition and integration expenses, that are not considered when management evaluates revenue-generating segment performance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded acquisition and integration costs primarily related to the Worldpay acquisition, as well as certain other costs associated with data center consolidation activities totaling $18 million and $8 million for the respective periods.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss that is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (defined as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization) plus certain non-operating items. The non-operating items affecting the segment profit measure generally include acquisition accounting adjustments as well as acquisition, integration and certain other costs. These costs and adjustments are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment for the periods discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA for the respective segments excludes the foregoing costs and adjustments.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s segments is shown in the following tables. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data; therefore, such information is not presented.

Commitments and Contingencies

Reliance Trust Claims

Reliance Trust Company ("Reliance"), the Company’s subsidiary, is named as a defendant in a class action arising out of its provision of services as the discretionary trustee for a 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") for one of its customers. On behalf of the Plan participants, plaintiffs in the action, which was filed in 2015, seek damages and attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief, against Reliance and the Plan’s sponsor and record-keeper for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Reliance is vigorously defending the action and believes it has meritorious defenses. Reliance contends that no breaches of fiduciary duty or prohibited transactions occurred and that Plan participants suffered no damages. A non-jury trial of the case was conducted in March 2020. At trial, Plaintiffs sought damages of approximately $127 million against all defendants. A decision in the case is expected in the second half of 2020. While we are unable at this time to estimate more precisely the potential loss or range of loss because of unresolved questions of fact and law, we believe that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a material impact on our financial condition. Because we do not believe a liability for this action is probable, we have not recorded a liability for it.

Brazilian Tax Authorities Claims

In 2004, Proservvi Empreendimentos e Servicos, Ltda., the predecessor to Fidelity National Servicos de Tratamento de Documentos e Informatica Ltda. ("Servicos"), a subsidiary of Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda., our former item processing and remittance services operation in Brazil, acquired certain assets and employees and leased certain facilities from the Transpev Group ("Transpev") in Brazil. Transpev’s remaining assets were later acquired by Prosegur, an unrelated third party. When Transpev discontinued its operations after the asset sale to Prosegur, it had unpaid federal taxes and social contributions owing to the Brazilian tax authorities. The Brazilian tax authorities brought a claim against Transpev and beginning in 2012 brought claims against Prosegur and Servicos on the grounds that Prosegur and Servicos were successors in interest to Transpev. To date, the Brazilian tax authorities filed 13 claims against Servicos asserting potential tax liabilities of approximately $14 million. There are potentially 25 additional claims against Transpev/Prosegur for which Servicos is named

as a co-defendant or may be named, but for which Servicos has not yet been served. These additional claims amount to approximately $50 million making the total potential exposure for all 38 claims approximately $64 million. We do not believe a liability for these 38 total claims is probable and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for any of these claims.

Acquired Contingencies - Worldpay

The Company assumed in the Worldpay acquisition a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") under which the Company agreed to make payments to Fifth Third Bank ("Fifth Third") of 85% of the federal, state, local and foreign income tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of certain tax deductions. In December 2019, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Purchase Addendum (the "Amendment") that provides written call and put options (collectively "the options") to terminate certain estimated obligations under the TRA in exchange for fixed cash payments.

The remaining TRA obligations not subject to the Amendment are based on the cash savings realized by the Company by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company to the amount of such taxes the Company would have been required to pay had there been no deductions related to the tax attributes. Under the TRA, in certain specified circumstances, such as certain changes of control, the Company may be required to make payments in excess of such cash savings.

Obligations recorded in our consolidated financial statements pursuant to the TRA are based on estimates of future deductions and future tax rates and, in the case of the obligations subject to the Amendment, reflect management’s expectation that the options will be exercised. In January 2020, the Company exercised its first call option pursuant to the Amendment, which will result in fixed cash payments to Fifth Third of $42 million. The timing and/or amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the exercise of options, the amount and timing of taxable income the Company generates in the future and the tax rate then applicable, the use of loss carryforwards and amortizable basis. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the assumptions underlying the TRA obligations.

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, includes a total liability of $563 million relating to the TRA. The following table summarizes our estimated payment obligation timing under the TRA as of March 31, 2020 (in millions):


			Payments Due in
Type of Obligation	Total		2020 Remaining Period		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years
Obligations under TRA	$	563	$	31	$	267	$	252	$	13

Chargeback Liability

Through services offered in our Merchant Solutions segment, the Company is exposed to losses from merchant-related chargebacks. A chargeback occurs when a dispute between a cardholder and a merchant, including a claim for non-delivery of the product or service by the merchant, is not resolved in favor of the merchant and the transaction is charged back to the merchant resulting in a refund of the purchase price to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this chargeback amount from the merchant due to closure, bankruptcy or other reasons, the Company bears the loss for the refund paid to the cardholder. The risk of chargebacks is typically greater for those merchants that promise future delivery of goods and services rather than delivering goods or rendering services at the time of payment. As a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that it has incurred or may incur significant losses related to future chargebacks. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic and the numerous current and future uncertainties that may impact any potential chargeback losses, and considering that the Company has no historical experience with similar uncertainties, a reasonable estimate of the possible accrual for losses or range of losses cannot be made.

Indemnifications and Warranties

The Company generally indemnifies its clients, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated solely with its customers’ use of the Company’s software applications or services. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments under such indemnifications but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, in which case it would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications.

Historically, no material costs have been incurred related to software warranties, and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments Fair Value Hedge The Company holds an interest rate swap with a €500 million notional value converting the interest rate exposure on the Company’s Senior Euro Notes due 2024 from fixed to variable. This swap is designated as a fair value hedge for accounting purposes with an asset fair value of $13 million and $10 million at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, reflected as an increase in the hedged debt balance (see Note 7). Net Investment Hedges The purpose of the Company’s net investment hedges, as discussed below, is to reduce the volatility of FIS’ net investment value in its Euro- and Pound Sterling-denominated operations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company recorded net investment hedge aggregate gain (loss), net of tax, for the change in fair value as Foreign currency translation adjustments, within Other comprehensive earnings (loss), net of tax on the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings of $535 million and $7 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No ineffectiveness was recorded on the net investment hedges. Foreign Currency-Denominated Debt Designations The Company designates certain foreign currency-denominated debt as net investment hedges of its investment in Euro- and Pound Sterling-denominated operations. As of March 31, 2020, an aggregate €8,809 million was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company’s investment in Euro-denominated operations related to the Senior Euro Floating Rate Notes, Senior Euro Notes with maturities ranging from 2021 to 2039 and ECP Notes, and an aggregate £864 million was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company’s Pound Sterling-denominated operations related to the Senior GBP Notes with maturities ranging from 2022 to 2031. Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap Designations The Company holds cross-currency interest rate swaps and designates them as net investment hedges of its investment in Euro- and Pound Sterling-denominated operations. As of March 31, 2020, an aggregate notional amount of €2,506 million was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company’s investment in Euro-denominated operations, and an aggregate notional amount of £556 million was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company’s Pound Sterling-denominated operations. The fair value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps was a net $116 million asset and $167 million liability at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Earnings per Share

The basic weighted average shares and common stock equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were computed using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes net earnings and net earnings per share attributable to FIS common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2020		2019

Weighted average shares outstanding-basic	616		323

Net earnings per share-basic attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	0.02	$	0.46
Net earnings per share-diluted attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	0.02	$	0.45

Options to purchase approximately less than 1 million and 1 million shares of our common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

On July 20, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing repurchases of up to $4.0 billion of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2020. This share repurchase authorization replaced any existing share repurchase authorization. Approximately $2.3 billion of plan capacity remained available for repurchases as of March 31, 2020. Management temporarily suspended share repurchases as a result of the Worldpay transaction to accelerate debt repayment.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The inputs into management’s critical and significant accounting estimates consider the economic impact of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the subsequently declared COVID-19 pandemic ("the pandemic") by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The extent to which the pandemic further affects our financial statements will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Accordingly, our future results could be materially affected by changes in our estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2019 consolidated financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2020. Amounts in tables in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes may not sum due to rounding. On July 31, 2019, FIS completed the acquisition of Worldpay, and Worldpay’s results of operations and financial position are included in the consolidated financial statements from and after the date of acquisition. FIS reports its financial performance based on the following segments: Merchant Solutions, Banking Solutions, Capital Market Solutions, and Corporate and Other. As FIS continues to execute on its integration workflows and optimize its portfolio of assets, it reclassified certain non-strategic businesses from the Merchant Solutions and Banking Solutions segments into the Corporate and Other segment in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and recast all prior-period segment information presented. These operations represented less than 2% of first quarter 2020 revenue. See Note 12 for a summary of each segment.

Acquisitions

Worldpay Acquisition

On July 31, 2019, FIS completed the acquisition of Worldpay by acquiring 100 percent of Worldpay’s equity. The Worldpay acquisition brought an integrated technology platform with a comprehensive suite of products and services serving merchants and financial institutions and provided FIS with enhanced global payment capabilities, robust risk and fraud solutions and advanced data analytics.

The total purchase price was as follows (in millions):


Cash consideration	$	3,423
Value of FIS share consideration	38,635
Pay-off of Worldpay long-term debt not contractually assumed	5,738
Value of outstanding converted equity awards attributed to services already rendered	449
Total purchase price	$	48,245

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). We recorded an allocation of the purchase price to Worldpay tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of July 31, 2019. The amounts for intangible assets were based on third-party valuations performed. Goodwill was recorded as the residual amount by which the purchase price exceeded the provisional fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill consists primarily of expected synergies of combining operations, the acquired workforce, and growth opportunities, none of which qualify as separately identifiable intangible assets. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has substantially completed its allocation of the purchase price. The principal open items relate to the valuation of certain income tax matters and contingencies as management is awaiting additional information to complete its assessment. Estimates have been recorded as of the acquisition date, and updates to these estimates may increase or decrease goodwill.

Pursuant to Topic 805, the financial statements will not be retrospectively adjusted for any provisional amount changes that occur in subsequent periods. Rather, we will recognize any provisional amount adjustments during the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. We will also be required to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of any change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2020 is as follows (in millions):


Cash acquired	$	305
Settlement deposits and merchant float (1)	2,445
Trade receivables	1,599
Goodwill	38,063
Intangible assets	13,682
Computer software	1,297
Other noncurrent assets (2)	1,568
Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities	(1,046)
Settlement payables	(3,167)
Deferred income taxes	(2,831)
Long-term debt, subsequently repaid	(1,805)
Other liabilities and noncontrolling interest (3)	(1,865)
Total purchase price	$	48,245

(1)Includes $1,693 million of merchant float.

(2)Includes $534 million of other restricted cash.

(3)Includes $542 million of noncurrent tax receivable agreement liability (see Note 9) and $819 million contingent value rights liability (see Note 5).

The gross contractual amount of trade receivables acquired was approximately $1,646 million. The difference between that total and the amount reflected above represents our best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. This difference was derived using Worldpay’s historical bad debts, sales allowances and collection trends.

Intangible assets primarily consist of software, customer relationship assets and trademarks with weighted average estimated useful lives of seven years, ten years and five years, respectively, and fair value amounts assigned of $1,297 million, $13,272 million and $410 million, respectively.

See Note 9 for acquired contingencies resulting from the Worldpay acquisition.

Virtus Acquisition

On January 2, 2020, FIS acquired a majority interest in Virtus Partners ("Virtus"), previously a privately held company that provides high value managed services and technology to the credit and loan market. FIS acquired a 70% voting and financial interest in Virtus with 30% interest retained by the founders of Virtus ("Founders"). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under Topic 805. We recorded a provisional allocation of the $405 million cash purchase price and the $174 million fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interest to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, consisting primarily of $254 million in customer relationships and $51 million in software assets. We also recorded $248 million in goodwill for the residual amount by which the purchase price exceeded the provisional fair value of the net assets acquired. Our purchase price allocation is provisional as of March 31, 2020, and we expect to finalize as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

We recorded the 30% interest retained by the Founders at the acquisition date as redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is reflected outside of stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet, given the agreement between FIS and the Founders that provides FIS with a call option and the Founders with a put option requiring FIS to purchase all of the Founders’ retained interest in Virtus at a redemption value determined pursuant to the agreement. The call option and put option are exercisable at any time after two years and three years, respectively, following the acquisition date. Changes in the estimated redemption value are accreted through equity from the acquisition date to the date the call option becomes exercisable, to the extent the estimated redemption value is greater than the initial redeemable noncontrolling interest value recorded, as adjusted for the Founders’ share of the cumulative impact of net earnings (loss).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Change in Accounting Policy The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("Topic 326"), with an adoption date of January 1, 2020. As a result, the Company changed its accounting policy for allowance for credit losses. The accounting policy pursuant to Topic 326 for credit losses is disclosed below. The adoption of Topic 326 resulted in an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment recorded in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company monitors trade receivable balances including contract assets as well as other receivables and estimates the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Estimates of expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events. While the COVID-19 pandemic did not result in a significant increase in the Company’s expected credit loss allowance recorded as of March 31, 2020, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that future developments related to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material impact on management’s estimates.

Contract Balances

The Company recognized revenue of $338 million and $321 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the periods.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2020, approximately $20.5 billion of revenue is estimated to be recognized in the future primarily from the Banking Solutions and Capital Market Solutions segments’ remaining unfulfilled performance obligations, which are primarily comprised of recurring account- and volume-based processing services. This excludes the amount of anticipated recurring renewals not yet contractually obligated. The Company expects to recognize approximately 35% of the Banking Solutions and Capital Market Solutions segments’ remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, approximately another 25% over the next 13 to 24 months, and the balance thereafter.

As permitted by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company has elected to exclude from this disclosure an estimate for the Merchant Solutions segment, which is primarily comprised of contracts with an original duration of one year or less or variable consideration that meet specific criteria. This segment’s core performance obligations consist of variable consideration under a stand-ready series of distinct days of service, and revenue from the segment’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.
