Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters we discuss in this Form 10-Q and in other public statements may constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans, projections or intentions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, all statements we make relating to revenue, earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), earnings, margins, growth rates, and other financial results for future periods. By their nature, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance; and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the following: (1) adverse impacts from global economic, political, and other conditions affecting trends in consumer, business, and government spending; (2) our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends, including technological changes and increasing competition; (3) our ability to successfully renew existing client contracts on favorable terms and obtain new clients; (4) our ability to prevent a material breach of security of any of our systems; (5) our ability to implement and improve processing systems to provide new products, improve functionality, and increase efficiencies; (6) the successful management of our merchant alliance program which involves several alliances not under our sole control and each of which acts independently of the others; (7) our successful management of credit and fraud risks in our business units and merchant alliances, particularly in the context of eCommerce and mobile markets; (8) consolidation among financial institution clients or other client groups that impacts our client relationships; (9) our ability to use our net operating losses without restriction to offset income for US tax purposes; (10) our ability to improve our profitability and maintain flexibility in our capital resources through the implementation of cost savings initiatives; (11) the acquisition or disposition of a material business or assets; (12) our ability to successfully value and integrate acquired businesses; (13) our high degree of leverage; (14) adverse impacts from currency exchange rates or currency controls imposed by any government or otherwise; (15) changes in the interest rate environment that increase interest on our borrowings or the interest rate at which we can refinance our borrowings; (16) the impact of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules, or other industry standards; and (17) new lawsuits, investigations, or proceedings, or changes to our potential exposure in connection with pending lawsuits, investigations or proceedings, and various other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, including but not limited to, Item 1 - Business, Item 1A - Risk Factors, and Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Additional factors related to the agreement and plan of merger entered on January 16, 2019 between First Data and Fiserv, Inc. (“Fiserv”) that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from our forward-looking statements include (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of First Data and Fiserv to terminate the definitive merger agreement between First Data and Fiserv; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against First Data, Fiserv or their respective stockholders, shareholders or directors; (3) the ability to ~~obtain regulatory approvals and~~ meet ~~other~~ closing conditions to the merger, including the risk that regulatory approvals required for the merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or that are material and adverse to First Data’s or Fiserv’s business; (4) a delay in closing the merger; (5) difficulties and delays in integrating the First Data and Fiserv businesses, including with respect to implementing systems to prevent a material security breach of any internal systems or to successfully manage credit and fraud risks in business units; (6) failing to fully realize anticipated cost savings and other anticipated benefits of the merger; (7) business disruptions from the proposed merger that will harm First Data’s or Fiserv’s business, including current plans and operations; (8) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger, including as it relates to First Data’s or Fiserv’s ability to successfully renew existing client contracts on favorable terms or at all and obtain new clients; (9) certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact First Data’s or Fiserv’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (10) the ability of First Data or Fiserv to retain and hire key personnel; (11) uncertainty as to the long-term value of the common stock of Fiserv following the merger; (12) the continued availability of capital and financing following the merger; (13) the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which First Data and Fiserv operate. Except as required by law, we do not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

First Data Corporation (FDC, First Data, or the Company) is a global leader in commerce-enabling technology and solutions for merchants, financial institutions, and card issuers. The Company provides merchant transaction processing and acquiring; credit, retail, and debit card processing; prepaid and payroll services; check verification; settlement and guarantee services; and statement printing as well as solutions to help clients grow their businesses including the Company's Clover line of payment solutions and related applications.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed, except for those disclosed below in the recently adopted section.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company, the consolidated results of the Company's operations, comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and changes in equity as of and for the periods presented. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year due in part to the seasonality of certain business units.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 the Company recorded expenses of $23 million for an out of period adjustment, which impacted multiple years, related to correction of a lease classification error. The Company does not believe this adjustment will be material to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and it is not material to previously reported financial statements. Effective January 1, 2019, initial direct costs associated with hardware revenue are now recorded in costs of products sold within "Cost of revenues (exclusive of items shown below)".

Pending Merger with Fiserv, Inc.

On January 16, 2019, First Data and Fiserv, Inc. (Fiserv), and 300 Holdings, Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (Merger Agreement), pursuant to which the Company will merge into Merger Sub (the Merger). The terms are subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which states at closing each share of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive 0.303 (Exchange Ratio) of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Fiserv. First Data's equity awards will generally be converted into Fiserv equity awards after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio and appropriate adjustments and be governed by the same terms and conditions as applicable to First Data's corresponding equity awards. ~~Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions for both parties. The Company currently anticipates that it will close the merger during the second half of 2019.~~ For additional information see Form 425 and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated January 16, 2019 and available through the “Investor Relations” portion of our website at http://investor.firstdata.com.

On March 15, 2019, First Data, following the declaration by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2019 that the Registration Statement of Fiserv became effective, received the written consent of New Omaha Holdings L.P. ( New Omaha), with respect to 364,441,146 shares of Class B common stock of First Data, to approve (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the adoption of a resolution regarding certain Merger-related executive officer compensation payments that will or may be made to First Data’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger. ~~The completion of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.~~

As of July 23, 2019, the Company and Fiserv received the final required regulatory approvals and non-objections needed to complete the proposed combination. The Company and Fiserv expect to close the proposed acquisition on or about July 29, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation

Depreciation and amortization, presented as a separate line item on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income, does not include amortization of payments for customer contracts which is recorded as contra-revenue within “Revenues excluding reimbursable items.” Also not included is amortization related to equity method investments which is netted within “Equity earnings in affiliates.”

The following table presents the amounts associated with such amortization for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and 2018:

	Three months ended March 31,

Amortization related to equity method investments	1		87		2		15

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. When applicable, the operating lease ROU asset also includes initial direct costs, lease prepayments, and is reduced by lease incentives received and accrued lease payments. The Company’s lease terms include periods covered by an option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option as well as periods covered by options to terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease ROU assets are included in “Other long-term assets” and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases ROU assets are included in “Property and equipment” and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in “Short-term and current portion of long-term borrowings”, and “Long-term borrowings” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

New Accounting Guidance

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to historical accounting and adds new presentation and disclosure requirements for both lessees and lessors (New Lease Standard). The accounting guidance for lessors remains largely unchanged. Adoption of the guidance resulted in recognition on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of assets and liabilities arising out of operating leases. The Company recognizes ROU assets for the underlying leased property during the lease term and recognizes liabilities for the corresponding financial obligation to make lease payments to the lessor.

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach that permits an entity to use the effective date as the date of initial application through the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting the Company to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases with terms of 12 months or less, and elected an accounting policy to account for lease and

direct costs. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting the Company to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases with terms of 12 months or less, and elected an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for certain classes of assets. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The adoption resulted in a decrease to the January 1, 2019 balance of accumulated loss of $6 million for the cumulative effect of applying the New Lease Standard. Additionally, adoption of the guidance did not impact any debt covenants or result in significant changes to the internal processes, including the internal control over financial reporting. See note 4 "Leases" in the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Internal-Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to align the requirements for capitalizing certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance provides flexibility in adoption, allowing for either retrospective adjustment or prospective adjustment for all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis on January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Securities and Exchange Commission Disclosure Requirements

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a final rule that amends certain disclosure requirements that were duplicative, outdated or superseded. In addition, the final rule expanded the financial reporting requirements for changes in stockholders’ equity for interim reporting periods. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging

In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance which expands the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting. The amendments permit the use of the overnight index swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that permits a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated loss for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The Company did not elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change the accounting for credit loss impairment. Under the new guidance, companies are required to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This new guidance will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that modified the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The new guidance also expands disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued new guidance on consolidation. The new guidance provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Remaining Performance Obligation

Over 95% of the Company’s performance obligations relate to transaction and processing services or hardware that are subject to a practical expedient (e.g., variable consideration) or point in time recognition, respectively. The Company's contracts with customers typically do not specify fixed revenues to be realized. Certain customer contracts contain fixed minimums and non-refundable up-front fees (fixed price guarantees). However, the amounts which are considered fixed price guarantees are not material to "Total revenues". The Company's contracts with Small Medium Business (SMB) merchants within the Global Business Solutions segment typically have a contractual duration of less than one year. Larger contracts in the Global Business Solutions, Global Financial Solutions, and Network & Security Solutions segments typically have contractual terms ranging from one to fifteen years with variability being resolved on a daily basis.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain new contracts and contract renewals and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis as a reduction of revenue over the benefit period, which is generally the contract term, unless a commensurate payment is not expected at renewal. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $~~163~~175 million and $152 million, respectively, of capitalized contract costs included within "Other intangibles, net" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. ~~For~~The Company had contra-revenue related to these costs for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 of $10 million and ~~2018~~$24 million, ~~the~~respectively, ~~Company~~and ~~had~~ $1413 million and $1326 million, ~~respectively,~~for ofthe ~~contra-revenue~~three ~~related~~and tosix ~~these~~months ~~costs.~~ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

The Company expenses sales commissions as incurred for the Company's sales commission plans that are paid on recurring monthly revenues, portfolios of existing customers, or have a substantive stay requirement prior to payment.

The Company capitalizes conversion related costs associated with enabling customers to receive its processing services. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period of seven years based on the related services being provided, and are reflected within “Depreciation and amortization” in the Company's unaudited consolidated statement of income. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $174 million and $172 million, respectively, of capitalized conversion costs, net of amortization, included within "Other intangibles, net" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $9 million and $10 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to these costs. 16

Note 4: Leases

The Company has leases for office space, land, data centers, computer hardware, airplanes, and other equipment. Certain of the Company's leases include lessee options to extend the lease term from one to 15 years or to terminate the lease prior to its contractual end date.

For leases of properties, the Company uses the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Accordingly, the financial information presented below includes charges for common area maintenance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs incurred under property leases. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 6: Net Income Per Share Attributable to First Data Corporation

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to FDC by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for any potential dilutive shares. Diluted net income per share has been computed to give effect to the impact, if any, of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of the Company’s common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. Both Class A and B common stock are included in the net income per share attributable to First Data Corporation calculation because they have the same rights other than voting.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company's basic and diluted net income attributable to First Data Corporation per share for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and 2018:

Note 8: Income Taxes

The following table presents the Company's income tax expense (benefit) and effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three months ended March 31,
	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

Effective income tax rate	1220		%	17(10		)%	17		%	(2		)%

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to net tax benefits of $232 million and $25 million, respectively, which includes equity compensation related tax benefits, tax benefits associated with ~~current~~prior ~~year~~years’ ~~research~~refund ~~and~~claims, ~~development~~reductions ~~credits~~to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and no tax expense recorded on income associated with noncontrolling interests from pass through entities. These benefits were partially offset by state income taxes, disallowed tax benefit on certain executive compensation deductions, and current U.S. taxation on certain non-U.S. income.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was lower than the ~~statutory~~U.S. ~~tax~~federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to net tax benefits of $7113 million and $120 ~~that~~million, ~~include~~respectively, which includes reductions to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and interest primarily associated with the closure of the 2005 through 2007 federal tax years, equity compensation related tax benefits, tax benefits associated with ~~current~~the ~~and~~2018 ~~prior year~~ and 2017 research and development credits, remeasurement of certain state and foreign deferred tax assets and liabilities, and no tax expense recorded on income associated with noncontrolling interests from pass through entities. These benefits were partially offset by expenses associated with state income taxes, disallowed tax benefit on certain executive compensation deductions, and current U.S. taxation on certain non-U.S. income.

The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $9782 million as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $1712 million over the next twelve months beginning ~~April~~July 1, 2019 as a result of possible closure of federal tax audits, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries, and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.

Note 11: Acquisitions

In March 2019, the Company acquired 100% of Software Express. Software Express provides technology solutions to merchants, including multi-acquirer EFT, multi-acquirer EFT POS, reconciliation, a payment gateway, and automated recurring payments in Brazil. The purchase price was $79 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and Software Express is reported as part of the Company’s Global Business Solutions segment. The Company is holding $12 million in restricted cash that will be paid to the seller over a six ~~year~~years period. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the accounting is currently incomplete. The acquisition of Software Express had an immaterial impact on revenue and operating income.

Note 12: Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into the following types of derivatives:

•

Interest rate contracts: The Company uses a combination of floating to fixed interest rate swaps and collars to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt. For interest rate swaps, floating rate payments are received in exchange for fixed-rate payments. For interest rate collar contracts, no payments or receipts are exchanged unless interest rates rise or fall in excess of a predetermined ceiling or floor rate. The Company uses these contracts in a qualifying hedging relationship.


•	Foreign exchange contracts: The Company uses cross-currency swaps to protect the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries and/or affiliates with respect to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships.

(b)	The interest rate collar with a notional value of $1.3 billion matured in January 2019. The remaining interest rate collar with a notional value of $1.5 billion will mature in September 2019.


(c)	The interest rate swap with a notional value of $4.75 billion decreased to $4.0 billion in June 2019.

The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its currency exposure of net investments in foreign operations, through utilization of foreign exchange contracts, is through June 2020.

The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments is through May 2021.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, the Company has not posted any collateral related to any of its derivative financial instruments.

Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts for the Company's derivative financial instruments are the estimated fair value of the financial instruments. The Company’s derivatives are not exchange listed and therefore the fair value is estimated under an income approach using Bloomberg analytics models that are based on readily observable market inputs. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest and foreign currency exchange rates, yield curves, and the credit quality of the counterparties. The models also incorporate the Company’s creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk. Inputs to the derivative pricing models are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity and, accordingly, the Company’s derivatives were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. While the Company believes its estimates result in a reasonable reflection of the fair value of these instruments, the estimated values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. Accruals have been made with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company. The matters discussed below, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, may result in liability material to the Company’s financial condition and/or results of income.

There are asserted claims against the Company where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be reasonably possible. These claims can generally be categorized in the following areas: (1) patent infringement which results from claims that the Company is using technology that has been patented by another party; (2) merchant matters often associated with alleged processing errors or disclosure issues and claims that one of the subsidiaries of the Company has violated a federal or state requirement regarding credit reporting or collection in connection with its check verification guarantee and collection activities or other claims arising from its merchant business; and (3) other matters which may include issues such as employment and indemnification obligations to purchasers of former subsidiaries. The Company’s estimates of the possible ranges of losses in excess of any amounts accrued are $0 to $5 million for patent infringement, $0 to $93 million for merchant matters, and $0 to $5 million for other matters, resulting in a total estimated range of possible losses of $0 to $103 million for all of the matters described above.

The estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on information currently available and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. As additional information becomes available and the resolution of the uncertainties becomes more apparent, it is possible that actual losses may exceed the high end of the estimated range.25

Note 14: Investment in Affiliates

Segment results include the Company’s proportionate share of income from affiliates, which consist of unconsolidated investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The most significant of these affiliates are related to the Company’s merchant bank alliance program.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our results, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This management's discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with the management's discussion and analysis and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2019.

Year over year percent changes are calculated on whole-dollar values as management views this as a more accurate representation of our performance. As such, the values herein may not recalculate due to rounding. Not meaningful percentage changes are indicated with NM.

Executive Overview

We enable businesses to accept electronic payments, help financial institutions issue credit, debit and prepaid cards, and route secure transactions between them. We believe we offer our clients the most complete array of integrated solutions in the industry, covering their needs across next generation commerce technologies, merchant acquiring, issuer processing and related services, and network solutions.

Pending Merger with Fiserv, Inc.

On January 16, 2019, First Data and Fiserv, Inc. (Fiserv), and 300 Holdings, Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (Merger Agreement), pursuant to which we will merge into Merger Sub (the Merger). The terms are subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which states at closing each share of our common stock issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive 0.303 (Exchange Ratio) of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Fiserv. First Data's equity awards will generally be converted into Fiserv equity awards after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio and appropriate adjustments and be governed by the same terms and conditions as applicable to First Data's corresponding equity awards. ~~Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions for both parties. We currently anticipate that we will close the merger during the second half of 2019.~~ For additional information see Form 425 and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated January 16, 2019 and available through the “Investor Relations” portion of our website at http://investor.firstdata.com.

Components of Revenue

We generate revenue by providing commerce-enabling solutions. Our major components of revenue have not changed from those discussed within “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Key factors affecting the comparability of our results of operations are summarized below.

Currency Impact

Although the majority of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars, a portion of our revenues and expenses are in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar can impact our results of operations. Additionally, we have intercompany debts in foreign currencies which impact our results of operations. In recent periods, the U.S. dollar has fluctuated versus most foreign currencies, which has impacted our operating results generated in foreign currencies as presented in U.S. dollars in our unaudited consolidated financial statements. We believe the presentation of organic constant currency and constant currency provides relevant information and we use these non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate our ongoing operations by excluding the impact to foreign currency fluctuations. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our related financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For additional information on our organic constant currency and constant currency calculation, see “Segment Results” within this Form 10-Q.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions and divestitures over the past year have impacted the comparability of our financial results. The disposition of the remittance processing business in the U.S. is reflected in Global Financial Solutions segment results through the disposition date of August 15, 2018. The disposition of the card processing business in Central and Southeastern Europe, is primarily reflected in our Global Financial Solutions segment results through the disposition date of September 28, 2018. The acquisition of Software Express is reflected in the Global Business Solutions segment results as of March 11, 2019. See note 11 "Acquisitions" in our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q and note 13 "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in "Item 8.

Segment Results

We operate three reportable segments: Global Business Solutions (GBS), Global Financial Solutions (GFS), and Network & Security Solutions (NSS). Our segments are designed to establish global lines of businesses that work seamlessly with our teams in our regions of North America (United States and Canada), EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), LATAM (Latin America and Caribbean region), and APAC (Asia Pacific).

The business segment measurements provided to and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker are computed in accordance with the principles listed below:


•	The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.


•	Intersegment revenues are eliminated in the segment that sells directly to the end market.


•	Segment revenue excludes reimbursable items.

• Segment EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization) includes equity earnings in affiliates and excludes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, other operating expenses, net, other (expense) income, and stock-based compensation.

•

For significant affiliates, segment revenue and segment EBITDA are reflected based on our proportionate share of the results of our investments in businesses accounted for under the equity method and consolidated subsidiaries with noncontrolling ownership interests. For other affiliates, we include equity earnings in affiliates, excluding amortization expense, in segment revenue and segment EBITDA.


•	Corporate operations include corporate-wide governance functions such as our executive management team, tax, treasury, internal audit, corporate strategy, and certain accounting, human resources and legal costs related to supporting the corporate function. Costs incurred by Corporate that are attributable to a segment are allocated to the respective segment.

•

Certain measures exclude the estimated impact of foreign currency changes. To present this information, monthly results during the periods presented for entities with functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding month of the prior period, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period. Once translated, each month during the periods presented is added together to calculate the constant currency results for the periods presented.


•	Organic constant currency growth is defined as reported growth adjusted for the following, if applicable: (1) excludes the impacts of period-over-period currency rate changes in the current period; (2) excludes the results of significant divestitures in the prior period; and (3) includes the results of significant acquisitions in the prior period.


•	Currency impact is defined as the difference between the current period's actual results and the same period's results converted with the prior period's foreign exchange rate.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management that provides additional insight on performance. Adjusted net income excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, certain discrete tax items and other items affecting comparability and, therefore, provides a more complete understanding of continuing operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income provides users of our financial statements greater transparency into ongoing results of operations allowing them to better compare our results from period to period. This non-GAAP measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, adjusted net income is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

The following table reconciles the reported Net income attributable to First Data Corporation presented in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income for the periods presented:

(c)	We exclude from "Adjusted net income attributable to First Data Corporation" certain discrete tax items, such as tax law changes, tax impact of mergers and acquisitions, valuation allowance releases, and tax reserves related to issues that arose before KKR acquired us.

Table of Contents

(d)

The tax effect of the adjustments between our GAAP and adjusted results takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, this results in a tax impact at the U.S. effective tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing costs, stock compensation, and loss on debt extinguishment; whereas the tax impact of other adjustments, including restructuring expense, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable effective tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our source of liquidity is principally cash generated from operating activities supplemented by our receivable securitization facility and, as necessary, on a short-term basis by borrowings against our senior secured revolving credit facility. We believe our current level of cash and short-term financing capabilities along with future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet the ongoing needs of the business. ~~To the extent future cash flows exceed the ongoing needs of the business, we expect to use all or a portion of the excess cash to reduce our debt balances.~~

Total borrowings and net debt

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2019, we used a portion of excess cash generated by the business and existing cash on hand to reduce outstanding debt and complete strategic acquisitions. The table below shows the net debt balances as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as total long-term borrowings plus short-term and current portion of long-term borrowings at par value excluding lines of credit used for settlement purposes less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that net debt provides additional insight on the level and management of leverage. Net debt is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for total outstanding borrowings under GAAP.

Table of Contents

Our current level of debt may limit our ability to obtain additional funding at our current funding rate beyond our senior secured revolving credit facility and receivable securitization facility, if needed. See note 2 "Borrowings" in our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Credit ratings

As of ~~April~~July 3025, 2019, our long-term corporate family rating from Moody’s was Ba3 (outlook positive). Long-term local issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s was BB- (outlook stable) and the long-term issuer default rating from Fitch was BB- (outlook positive). A decrease in our credit ratings could affect our ability to access future financing at current funding rates, which could result in increased interest expense in the future.

As a result of the planned merger with Fiserv as described in note 1 "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q, all three credit agencies have put us on the watch list for upgrade.

Cash and cash equivalents

Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we held $~~619~~544 million and $555 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and distributions to minority interests, and other. We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and users of our financial statements about the amount of cash generated by the business which can be used to, among other things, reduce outstanding debt and/or complete strategic acquisitions. Free cash flow is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP reported financial information.

Covenant ~~Compliance~~ compliance

Under the senior secured revolving credit and term loan facilities, certain limitations, restrictions, and defaults could occur if we are not able to satisfy and remain in compliance with specified financial ratios. We have agreed that we will not permit the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Covenant EBITDA (both as defined in the agreement) Ratio for any 12 month period (last four fiscal quarters) to be greater than 6.00 to 1.00.

The breach of this covenant could result in a default under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loan credit facility and the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration could also result in a default under the indentures for the senior secured notes. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants, including our sole financial covenant with Consolidated Senior Secured Debt of $1413.06 billion, Covenant EBITDA of $3.67 billion, and a Ratio of 3.8371 to 1.00.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Our interest rate-sensitive assets include cash equivalents as well as both fixed and floating rate interest-bearing securities. These investments arise primarily from settlement funds held by us, pending settlement. Our interest rate-sensitive liabilities include our senior secured credit facilities which are subject to variable interest rates. We use a combination of interest rate collars and swaps to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, we have $1211 billion in variable rate debt, which includes $~~569~~542 million on our accounts receivable securitization facility, and also includes $250 million drawn on our revolving credit facility. We have $1.5 billion in variable to fixed interest rate collars, which are subject to contractual ceilings and floors, and $76.255 billion in variable to fixed interest rate step-up swaps. The $1.5 billion interest rate collars expires in September 2019, and have a one month LIBOR ceiling of 1.75%. With respect to our step-up swaps, the $4~~.75~~ billion of notional exposure step-up swaps, decreases by $750 million semi-annually, commencing in June 2019, and expires in December 2020. The remaining $2.5 billion of step-up swaps ~~cover~~mature ~~our~~in ~~exposure through~~ May 2021.

Based on outstanding debt balances and interest rates as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, a 1% increase in ~~variable~~ interest rates would result in a decrease to pretax income of $2932 million over the next twelve months. This decrease is due to a $4750 million increase in interest expense related to our balance of variable interest rate debt, net of interest rate collars and step-up swaps, partially offset by an $18 million increase in interest income, primarily on settlement assets. A decrease in interest rates would result in an increase to pretax income. Actual interest rates could change significantly more than 1%. There are inherent limitations in the sensitivity analysis presented and as a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect income.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to changes in currency rates as a result of our investments in foreign operations and revenues and expenses generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Revenue and profit generated by international operations will increase or decrease compared to prior periods as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See note 12 "Derivative Financial Instruments" in our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

A hypothetical 10% weakening/strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all the currencies in which our revenues and profits are denominated would result in an increase/decrease to pretax income of approximately $73 million. This increase/decrease results from a $5453 million increase/decrease related to foreign exchange on foreign currency earnings and a $1920 million increase/decrease related to foreign exchange on intercompany loans. There are inherent limitations in the sensitivity analysis presented and as a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019. This is done in order to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a part of our ongoing expense management initiatives, we continue to migrate and reorganize certain operations and functions within the Company. These efforts continue to present transitional risks to maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Other than with respect to these items, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
