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) our merchant alliance program which involves several alliances not under our sole control and each of which acts independently of the others; (7) 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 improve our profitability and maintain flexibility in our capital resources through the implementation of cost savings initiatives; (10) our ability to successfully value and integrate acquired businesses, including those outside of the United States; (11) our high degree of leverage; (12) adverse impacts from currency exchange rates or currency controls imposed by any government or otherwise; (13) changes in the interest rate environment that increase interest on our borrowings or the interest rate at which we can refinance our borrowings; (14) the impact of new laws, regulations, credit card association rules, or other industry standards; and (15) 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 period ended December 31, 2015, 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 and Part II, Item 1A- Risk Factors in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 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.

FIRST DATA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) 
Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Business Description
 
First Data Corporation (FDC or the Company) is a global leader in commerce-enabling technology and solutions for merchants, financial institutions, and card issuers. The services the Company provides include merchant transaction processing and acquiring; credit, retail, and debit card issuing and processing; prepaid services; and check verification, settlement and guarantee services; 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, 2015. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed.
 
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 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the consolidated results of the Company's operations, comprehensive income (loss), consolidated cash flows and changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. 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.
 
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 operations does not include amortization of initial payments for new contracts which is recorded as contra-revenue within “Transaction and processing service fees.” 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 periods presented:

 
 
Three months ended 
 June 30,
 
Six months ended

Revenue Recognition
 
The majority of the Company’s revenues are comprised of: 1) transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed; 2) fees per transaction processed; 3) fees per account on file during the period; or 4) some combination thereof.

The Company’s arrangements with clients often consist of multiple services and products (multiple-element arrangements).  In accounting for these multiple-element arrangements, the Company assesses the elements of the contract and whether each element has standalone value and allocates revenue to the various elements based on their estimated selling price as a component of total consideration for the arrangement. The selling price is based on current selling prices offered by the Company or another party for current products or management's best estimate of a selling price.

In the case of contracts that the Company owns and manages, revenue is comprised of fees charged to the client, net of interchange fees and assessments charged by the credit card associations, and is recognized at the time the client accepts a point of sale transaction. The fees charged to the client are a percentage of the credit card and signature-based debit card transaction’s dollar value, a fixed amount, or a combination of the two. Personal identification number based debit (PIN-debit) network fees are recognized in “Reimbursable PIN debit fees, postage, and other” revenues and expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. STAR Network access fees charged to clients are assessed on a per transaction basis. Interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations to the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and network fees related to PIN-debit transactions charged by debit networks were as follows for the periods presented:

The Company records deferred revenue when it receives payments in advance of the delivery of products or the performance of services. The deferred revenue is recognized into earnings when underlying performance obligations are achieved. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, current deferred revenue included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets was $139 million and $140 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, noncurrent deferred revenue included within "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets was $163 million and $146 million, respectively.

A major component of the Company's deferred revenue represents certain Clover terminal devices which do not have standalone value as of June 30, 2016. The Company will continue to assess in the future whether an adequate secondary market is capable of developing or has developed for these devices to establish standalone value. If a secondary market is deemed capable of developing or develops whereby clients are able to substantially recover their original purchase price, the Company will recognize revenue for Clover terminal devices upon delivery.   

Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 150.7 million shares of Class B common stock were converted to 150.7 million shares of Class A common stock. The majority of the shares converted shortly after the expiration of our initial public offering lockup period which ended on April 11, 2016.

New Accounting Guidance
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in an exchange for those goods or services. It also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. As amended in August 2015, the guidance is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 as well as interim periods within those annual periods using either the full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets. The guidance also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases for lessors and provides new presentation and disclosure requirements for both lessees and lessors. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period subsequent to adoption of the proceeding revenue recognition guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change some aspects of the accounting for stock-based payments to employees. Under the new guidance, companies will be required to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense

or benefit in the income statement and to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. The guidance may also change how companies account for forfeitures and an employee’s use of shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 as well as interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change the accounting for credit 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.

(a)
Unamortized deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining term of the respective debt. In addition, certain lenders fees associated with debt transactions were capitalized as discounts and are similarly being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the remaining term of the respective debt.
(b)
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company's long-term borrowings was $19.0 billion and $19.6 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term borrowings was primarily based on market trading prices and is considered to be a Level 2 measurement.

On January 1, 2016, the Company designated the euro-denominated portions of the Senior secured term loan facility due March 2018, Senior secured term loan facility due March 2021, and the Senior secured term loan facility due July 2022 as non-derivative hedges of net investments in foreign operations. As such, foreign currency gains and losses on the euro-denominated portions of these terms loans is recorded within "Foreign currency translation adjustment" on the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedges are effective. Foreign currency gains and losses on the euro-denominated portions of these term loans were previously recorded within "Other income (expense)" on the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

On January 15, 2016, the Company redeemed its 8.75% senior secured second lien notes. Associated with the redemption, the Company recorded $43 million in loss on debt extinguishment.

The additional notes are treated as a single series with the existing 5.0% Senior secured first lien notes due 2024 and have the same terms as the Existing 5.0% Notes. The Company used the net proceeds from the issue and sale of the additional notes to repay a portion of its U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured term loan facility due March 2018 and to pay related fees and expenses.

Note 4: Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Upon First Data Holdings, Inc. (FDH), the Company's direct parent company, merging with and into FDC on October 13, 2015, all outstanding shares of FDH's Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Series A Voting Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) automatically converted to identical shares of the Company's stock. Following the filing of the Company's prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2015, holders of existing Class B Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock received Class B Common Stock in the Company. Other than voting rights, this common stock has the same rights as the Class A Common Stock and therefore both are treated as the same class of stock for purposes of the net income (loss) per share calculation.
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to FDC by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for any potential dilutive shares. Diluted net income (loss) 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.

(77
)%

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016 were different from the statutory rate as a result of the Company recording tax expense on its foreign earnings, but not on its domestic earnings, as a result of the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was different from the statutory rate as a result of the Company’s inability to recognize tax benefits attributable to its domestic losses while at the same time recording tax expense on its foreign earnings. The Company’s tax expense in all periods was also impacted by the Company not recording tax expense on noncontrolling interests from pass through entities.

The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $249 million as of June 30, 2016. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $123 million over the next twelve months beginning June 30, 2016 as a result of the 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 7: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into the following types of derivatives:

Floating to fixed interest rate swaps: The Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt. The Company uses these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

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 both qualifying and non-qualifying hedging relationships.

(a)
Of the balances included in the table above, in aggregate, $154 million of assets and $20 million of liabilities, net $134 million, as of June 30, 2016 and $179 million of assets and $51 million of liabilities, net $128 million, as of December 31, 2015 are subject to master netting agreements to the extent that the swaps are with the same counterparty. The terms of those agreements require that the Company net settle the outstanding positions at the option of the counterparty upon certain events of default.
(b)
The forward exchange contracts matured in January 2016 at a net settlement value of $49 million.
 
The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments is through January 2018.

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 are 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 9: Restructuring
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded restructuring charges in connection with management’s alignment of the business with strategic objectives, cost savings initiatives, the departure of certain executive officers, and refinements of estimates.

In connection with our announced cost management initiatives, we expect to incur approximately $125 million of restructuring charges, of which we have incurred $99 million through June 30, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred $24 million and $45 million respectively, which includes a current quarter loss of $21 million on the impairment of a held-for-sale asset related to the exit of a facility. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred approximately $19 million and $20 million in restructuring costs, respectively, primarily related to severance costs.
