1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

The Western Union Company ("Western Union" or the "Company") is a leader in global money movement and payment services, providing people and businesses with fast, reliable, and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union® brand is globally recognized. The Company’s services are available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories and also through money transfer transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile applications marketed under the Company’s brands (“Branded Digital”) and transactions initiated on websites and mobile applications hosted by the Company’s third-party white label or co-branded digital partners (together with Branded Digital, “Digital Money Transfer”). Each location in the Company’s agent network is capable of providing one or more of the Company’s services.

The Western Union business consists of the following segments:

Consumer-to-Consumer - The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers which are sent from retail agent locations worldwide or through websites and mobile devices, including Digital Money Transfer services. The Company’s money transfer service is provided through one interconnected global network. This service is available for international cross-border transfers and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers.
Business Solutions - The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises, and other organizations and individuals. The majority of the Business Solutions business relates to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, in certain countries, the Company writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. During the third quarter of 2022, all parties agreed for the sale to be completed in three closings instead of two. The first closing occurred on March 1, 2022, the second is expected to occur in December 2022, and the third is expected in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services. Certain of the Company's corporate costs such as costs related to strategic initiatives, including costs for the review and closing of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, are also included in Other. See Note 14 for further information regarding the Company’s segments.

There are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring certain assets of the Company outside of the countries where these assets are located. However, there are generally no limitations on the use of these assets within those countries. Additionally, the Company must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's restricted net assets associated with these asset limitations and minimum capital requirements totaled approximately $460 million.

Various aspects of the Company’s services and businesses are subject to United States federal, state, and local regulation, as well as regulation by foreign jurisdictions, including certain banking and other financial services regulations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information

and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for all periods presented.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of September 30, 2022 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash Flow Classification Revision

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company revised its presentation to include changes in settlement cash associated with settlement obligations as a financing activity and changes in settlement cash from purchases, sales, and maturities of settlement investments as an investing activity within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Previously, the changes in settlement assets and settlement obligations were presented on a net basis within operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to this presentation. These changes in presentation have been concluded to be immaterial, having no impact on the Company’s previously reported net income, financial position, or cash flows from operating activities, as changes in the Company’s settlement assets exactly offset changes in its settlement obligations. However, the revised presentation shows all changes associated with settlement cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows instead of in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The following table presents the effects of the changes in presentation of these cash flows, compared to the previously reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in millions):

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, whether the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies, the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, and speed of service, as applicable. The Company also offers several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. For the substantial majority of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as the principal in transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss, and has the ability to establish transaction prices. The Company also provides services to financial institutions and other third parties to enable such entities to offer money transfer services to their own customers under their brands. Generally, in these arrangements, consumers agree to terms and conditions specified by the financial institution or other third party that, among other things, establish pricing paid by the consumer for the service. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis under these arrangements. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

The Company recognized $1,035.0 million and $1,230.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3,219.1 million and $3,635.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in revenues from contracts with customers. There were no material upfront costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers during these same periods. Under the Company’s loyalty programs, which are primarily offered in its money transfer services, the Company must fulfill loyalty program rewards earned by customers. The loyalty program redemption activity has been and continues to be insignificant to the Company’s results of operations, and the Company has immaterial contract liability balances, which primarily relate to its customer loyalty programs and other services. Contract asset balances related to customers were also immaterial as of the periods presented, as the Company typically receives payment of consideration from its customers prior to satisfying performance obligations under the customer contracts. In addition to revenue generated from contracts with customers, the Company recognizes revenue from other sources, including the sale of derivative financial instruments and investment income generated on settlement assets primarily related to money transfer and money order services.

The Company analyzes its different services individually to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition, as further described below. Revenues from consumer money transfers are included in the Company’s Consumer-to- Consumer segment, revenues from foreign exchange and payment services are included in the Company’s Business Solutions segment, and revenues from consumer bill payment and other services are not included in the Company’s segments and are reported as Other. See Note 14 for further information on the Company’s segments. On August 4, 2021,

the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. During the third quarter of 2022, all parties agreed for the sale to be completed in three closings instead of two. The first closing occurred on March 1, 2022, the second is expected to occur in December 2022, and the third is expected in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

Consumer Money Transfers

For the Company’s money transfer services, customers agree to the Company’s terms and conditions at the time of initiating a transaction. In a money transfer, the Company has one performance obligation as the customer engages the Company to perform one integrated service which typically occurs within minutes — collect the customer’s money and make funds available for payment to a designated person in the currency requested. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the following: (i) the customer’s acknowledgment of the Company’s terms and conditions and payment information has been received by the Company, (ii) the Company has agreed to process the money transfer, (iii) the Company has provided the customer a unique transaction identification number, and (iv) funds are available to be picked up by the customer's designated receiving party. The transaction price is comprised of a transaction fee and the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, as applicable, both of which are readily determinable at the time the transaction is initiated.

Foreign Exchange and Payment Services

For the Company’s foreign exchange and payment services, customers agree to terms and conditions for all transactions, either at the time of initiating a transaction or signing a contract with the Company to provide payment services on the customer’s behalf. In the majority of the Company’s foreign exchange and payment services, the Company makes payments to the recipient to satisfy its performance obligation to the customer, and therefore, the Company recognizes revenue on foreign exchange and payment services when this performance obligation has been fulfilled. Revenues from foreign exchange and payment services are primarily comprised of the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market.

Consumer Bill Payments and Other

The Company offers bill payment and other services that vary by contractual features, including the types and amounts of fixed charges and with respect to how fees are billed and collected. The identification of the contract with the customer for revenue recognition purposes is consistent with these features for each of the Company’s bill payment and other services. As with consumer money transfers, customers engage the Company to perform one integrated service — collect money from the consumer and process the transaction, thereby providing billers with real-time or near real-time information regarding consumer payments and simplifying the billers’ collection efforts.

Management has determined that the substantial majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time. The following tables represent the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers by product type and region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions). The regional split of revenue shown in the tables below is based upon where transactions are initiated.

Earnings Per Share

3. Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect.

Shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method, primarily due to outstanding options to purchase shares of Western Union stock and restricted stock units, as the assumed proceeds of the options and restricted stock per unit were above the Company’s average share price during the periods and their effect was anti-dilutive, were 8.1 million and 2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 8.0 million and 1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale and Related Divestiture

On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, the “Buyer”) for cash consideration of $910.0 million. In the third quarter, the Company and the Buyer agreed to complete the divestiture in three closings instead of two, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022 with the entirety of the cash consideration collected at that time and allocated to the closings on a relative fair value basis. The first closing excluded the operations in the European Union and the United Kingdom and resulted in a gain of $151.4 million. In connection with the first closing, the Company reclassified $17.8 million of currency translation gains previously included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a component of Gain on divestiture of business in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has agreed to and paid final working capital adjustments to the Buyer and has classified the proceeds allocated to the European Union and United Kingdom operations of approximately $390 million within Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The second closing, which includes the United Kingdom operations, is expected to occur in December 2022, pending required regulatory approvals. The third closing, which includes the European Union operations, is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2023, pending required regulatory approvals. The gains associated with the second and third closings are subject to regulatory capital adjustments and will be recognized at the time of each closing. During the period between the first and third closings, the Company will pay to the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as contractually agreed, which was $15.0 million and $25.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and was included in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income is also passed to the Buyer.

The Company has presented the remaining assets of its Business Solutions business as held for sale, along with the associated liabilities, as the Company believes the completions of the second and third closings are probable. The Buyer has rebranded the sold operations within a new standalone company (now referred to as "Convera").

Business Solutions revenues included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $42.6 million and $116.8 million and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations, were $27.0 million and $77.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Business Solutions revenues were $167.4 million and $312.6 million, respectively, and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations, were $117.4 million and $244.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, divestiture costs directly associated with this transaction were $0.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, divestiture costs directly associated with this transaction were $4.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

The following table reflects the assets held for sale and associated liabilities of the Business Solutions business in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions). These balances are subject to regulatory capital and other requirements which will be finalized upon the third close.

Investment Activities

 

The Company entered into an agreement in November 2020, which was subsequently amended, to acquire an ownership interest in stc Bank (formerly Saudi Digital Payments Company), a subsidiary of Saudi Telecom Company and one of the Company’s Consumer-to-Consumer digital white label partners. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company agreed to invest $200.0 million for a 15% ownership in stc Bank (“Investment”), and this transaction closed in October 2021. In conjunction with the Investment, the Company and stc Bank extended and expanded the terms of their commercial agreement. The Company assigned a value of $36.0 million to certain rights under the commercial agreement that are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and are being amortized over the life of the agreement. The Company is measuring the Investment at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments in stc Bank.

 

In April 2021, the Company sold a substantial majority of the noncontrolling interest it held in a private company for cash proceeds of $50.9 million. The Company recorded a gain of $47.9 million within Other income/(expense), net, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company retains an immaterial equity interest in this private company.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value, as defined by the relevant accounting standards, represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on how the Company measures fair value, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

There were no material, non-recurring fair value adjustments other than approximately $9 million of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible asset impairments associated with the Company's suspension of its operations in Russia and Belarus and the first closing of its Business Solutions divestiture in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as discussed further in Note 14. There were no material, non-recurring fair value adjustments in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts for many of the Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, settlement cash and cash equivalents, and settlement receivables and obligations approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and the aggregate fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from multiple banks. Fixed-rate notes are carried in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their original issuance values as adjusted over time to accrete that value to par. As of September 30, 2022, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $2,611.0 million and $2,387.1 million, respectively (see Note 11). As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $3,008.4 million and $3,217.2 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into reverse repurchase agreements, a form of secured lending, with broker-dealer affiliates of large U.S. banks, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business. These agreements require the counterparties to pledge marketable securities with a value greater than the amount of cash transferred as collateral, which is held and valued by a third-party custodial bank. These investments generate interest income through the date of repurchase, at which point the purchase price together with the interest due will be paid back to the Company. The Company carries these investments at amortized cost, and as of September 30, 2022, the carrying value of these investments, as reported in Other assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $400.0 million, which approximates fair value due to the creditworthiness of the counterparties, the value of the collateral, and the investments' short-term nature and variable interest rate.

Commitments and Contingencies

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees

The Company had approximately $330 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of September 30, 2022, which were primarily held in connection with safeguarding consumer funds, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. The Company expects to renew most of its letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration.

Litigation and Related Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation that could result in losses, including damages, fines, and/or civil penalties, which could be significant, and in some cases, criminal charges. The Company regularly evaluates the status of legal matters to assess whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable in determining whether an accrual is appropriate. Furthermore, in determining whether disclosure is appropriate, the Company evaluates each legal matter to assess if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss or additional material losses may have been incurred. The Company also evaluates whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made. Unless otherwise specified below, the Company believes that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for each of the matters described below.

For those matters that the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and can reasonably estimate the loss or potential loss, the reasonably possible potential litigation losses in excess of the Company’s recorded liability for probable and estimable losses was approximately $30 million as of September 30, 2022. For the remaining matters, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of loss because, among other reasons: (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damage claims are unsupported and/or unreasonable; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or (vi) novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories are being asserted.

The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss

and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established liability or the range of reasonably possible loss.

Legal Matters

In October 2015, Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa, an Argentinian consumer association, filed a purported class action lawsuit in Argentina’s National Commercial Court No. 19 against the Company’s subsidiary Western Union Financial Services Argentina S.R.L. (“WUFSA”). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that WUFSA’s fees for money transfers sent from Argentina are excessive and that WUFSA does not provide consumers with adequate information about foreign exchange rates. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, an order requiring WUFSA to reimburse consumers for the fees they paid and the foreign exchange revenue associated with money transfers sent from Argentina, plus punitive damages. The complaint does not specify a monetary value of the claim or a time period. In November 2015, the Court declared the complaint formally admissible as a class action. The notice of claim was served on WUFSA in May 2016, and in June 2016 WUFSA filed a response to the claim and moved to dismiss it on statute of limitations and standing grounds. In April 2017, the Court deferred ruling on the motion until later in the proceedings. The process for notifying potential class members has been completed, and the case is in the evidentiary stage. Due to the stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter. WUFSA intends to defend itself vigorously.

In addition to the principal matters described above, the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the Company’s business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

8. Settlement Assets and Obligations

Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents and others for unsettled money transfers, money orders, and consumer payments. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to amounts payable under money transfers, money orders, and consumer payment service arrangements. Settlement assets and obligations also include amounts receivable from, and payable to, customers for the value of their cross-currency payment transactions related to the Business Solutions segment.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Receivables from agents and others primarily represent funds collected by such agents, but in transit to the Company, and were $1,243.3 million and $1,125.9 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Cash received by Western Union agents generally becomes available to the Company within one week after initial receipt by the agent. Western Union has a large and diverse agent base, thereby reducing the credit risk of the Company from any one agent. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its agents’ financial condition and credit worthiness.

Receivables from Business Solutions customers arise from cross-currency payment transactions in the Business Solutions segment. Business Solutions receivables totaled $22.0 million and $49.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Receivables occur when funds have been paid out to a beneficiary but not yet received

from the customer. Collection of these receivables ordinarily occurs within a few days. To mitigate risk associated with potential Business Solutions customer defaults, the Company performs credit reviews on an ongoing basis.

The Company establishes and monitors an allowance for credit losses related to receivables from agents and others, and Business Solutions customers. The Company has estimated the allowance based on its historical collections experience, adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions based on information known as of September 30, 2022.

(a)
Provision does not include losses from chargebacks or fraud associated with transactions initiated through the Company’s digital channels, as these losses are not credit-related. The Company recognized losses that were not credit-related of $10.0 million, $7.7 million, and $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, respectively, and $13.7 million, $14.5 million, and $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

In addition, from time to time, the Company makes advances to its agents. The Company generally owes settlement funds payable to these agents that offset these advances. These amounts advanced to agents are included within Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts advanced to agents were $147.1 million and $146.9 million, respectively, and the related allowances for credit losses were immaterial.

Investment Securities

Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2061. These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification.

Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had the intent to sell certain state and municipal debt securities and recognized an impairment of $4.6 million, which was recorded to Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The sale of these securities was completed in the first week of October. The Company does not intend to sell the remaining securities and does not expect it will be required to sell the remaining securities prior to recovering their amortized cost basis. The Company’s provision for credit losses on its available-for-sale securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were immaterial.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company held 430 investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position, 386 of which have a total fair value of $918.2 million and unrealized losses of $77.7 million and have been in a loss position for less than twelve months and 44 of which have a total fair value of $80.5 million and unrealized losses of $13.0 million and have been in a loss position for greater than twelve months. As discussed above, the Company's provision for credit losses on its investment securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 were immaterial, as the increase in unrealized losses was driven by a rise in U.S. Treasury interest rates over the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Variable-rate demand notes, having a fair value of $10.0 million, $10.0 million, and $77.5 million are included in the "Due after 1 year through 5 years," "Due after 5 years through 10 years," and "Due after 10 years" categories, respectively, in the table above.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives

10. Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the euro, and, to a lesser degree, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, and other currencies, related to forecasted revenues and settlement assets and obligations, as well as on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. The Company is also exposed to risk from derivative contracts, primarily from customer derivatives, arising from its cross-currency Business Solutions payment operations. Additionally, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in market rates both prior to and subsequent to the issuance of debt. The Company has used derivatives to: (i) minimize its exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and (ii) facilitate cross-currency Business Solutions payments by writing derivatives to customers.

The Company executes derivatives with established financial institutions; the substantial majority of these financial institutions have a credit rating of "A-" or higher from a major credit rating agency. Customer derivatives written by the Company’s Business Solutions operations primarily involve small and medium size enterprises. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis, while also monitoring the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties’ ability to perform. These actions may include requiring Business Solutions customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, the possible termination of the related contracts. The Company’s hedged foreign currency exposures are in liquid currencies; consequently, there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future.

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of September 30, 2022, these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges.

 

The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows (in millions):

Business Solutions Operations

The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. During the third quarter of 2022, all parties agreed for the sale to be completed in three closings instead of two. The first closing occurred on March 1, 2022, the second is expected to occur in December 2022, and the third is expected in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with Convera through the end of the third closing of the Business Solutions divestiture. The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions included in Revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $39.3 million and $99.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $151.5 million and $271.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting hedges and the majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception of less than one year.

The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amount of derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its Business Solutions operations was approximately $5.0 billion and $8.0 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The significant majority of customer contracts are written in the following currencies: the United States dollar, euro, and the British pound.

Interest Rate Hedging

Periodically, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term, variable-rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps.

The Company terminated two of its treasury locks in the first quarter of 2021, which were associated with the issuance of $600.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 1.350% unsecured notes due March 15, 2026 (“2026 Notes”). The Company received a total of $3.3 million upon termination, of which $2.6 million was deferred as a component of AOCL and will be amortized to Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the term of the 2026 Notes. As a portion of the forecasted interest payments on the 2026 Notes will occur outside the time period originally specified at designation of the treasury locks as cash flow hedges, $0.7 million was recognized in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, upon termination.

(a)
In many circumstances, the Company allows its Business Solutions customers to settle part or all of their derivative contracts prior to maturity. However, the offsetting positions entered into with Convera do not allow for similar settlement. To mitigate this, additional foreign currency contracts are entered into with Convera to offset the original economic hedge contracts. This frequently results in changes in the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities that may not directly align with the performance in the underlying derivatives business.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable have been netted in the following tables to present the Company’s net exposure with these counterparties. The Company’s rights under these agreements generally allow for transactions to be settled on a net basis, including upon early termination, which could occur upon the counterparty’s default, a change in control, or other conditions.

In addition, certain of the Company’s other agreements include netting provisions, the enforceability of which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, depending on the circumstances. Due to the uncertainty related to the enforceability of these provisions, the derivative balances associated with these agreements are included within "Derivatives that are not or may not be subject to master netting arrangement or similar agreement" in the following tables. In certain circumstances, the Company may require its Business Solutions customers to maintain collateral balances which may mitigate the risk associated with potential customer defaults.

The following tables summarize the gross and net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in millions):

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts as part of its Business Solutions payments operations. These derivative contracts are excluded from this table as they are managed as part of a broader currency portfolio that includes non-derivative currency exposures. The gains and losses on these derivatives are included as part of the broader disclosure of portfolio revenue for this business discussed above.
(b)
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations as well as certain foreign currency denominated positions. Foreign exchange losses on settlement assets and obligations, cash balances, and other assets and liabilities, not including amounts related to derivative activity as displayed above and included in Selling, general, and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were $40.6 million and $25.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $90.4 million and $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

All cash flows associated with derivatives are included in Cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Based on September 30, 2022 foreign exchange rates, an accumulated other comprehensive pre-tax gain of $59.8 million related to the foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified into Revenues within the next 12 months.

Income Taxes

12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 10.2% and 20.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 16.5% and 15.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and

2021, respectively. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to discrete tax expenses in the prior period and discrete tax benefits in the current period related to the completion of the examination of the Company's consolidated federal income tax returns for 2017 and 2018 (the "IRS Examination"), discussed below, partially offset by the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business and the Company's decision to suspend its operations in Russia and Belarus. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business and the Company's decision to suspend its operations in Russia and Belarus, partially offset by discrete tax expenses in the prior period and discrete tax benefits in the current period related to the completion of the IRS Examination. The impact of the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business is included in the Company's estimated annual effective rate, the ongoing effects of which are expected to continue throughout the year.

 

Unrecognized tax benefits are reflected in Income taxes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $356.1 million and $376.3 million, respectively, including interest and penalties. As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 11, Income Taxes, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company continues to believe that it is reasonably possible that its total unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by December 31, 2022, in connection with various matters which may be resolved.

 

The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and various non-United States jurisdictions. The conclusion of the IRS Examination resulted in both agreed and unagreed adjustments. The agreed adjustments have been reflected in the Company's financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company is contesting the unagreed adjustments at the IRS Appeals level and believes its reserves for these unagreed adjustments are adequate. The statute of limitations for the U.S. federal returns for 2017 and 2018 has been extended to March 31, 2024.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively, resulting primarily from stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $32.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 0.6 million options at a weighted-average exercise price of $18.62 and 3.6 million performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $19.94. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 6.4 million outstanding options at a weighted-average exercise price of $18.68, of which 3.6 million options were exercisable at a weighted-average exercise price of $19.16. The Company had 6.9 million outstanding performance-based restricted stock units (based on target performance) and restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $21.43 as of September 30, 2022.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments

14. Segments

As further described in Note 1, the Company classifies its business into two segments: Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in allocating resources and assessing performance.

The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers. The segment includes five geographic regions whose functions are primarily related to generating, managing, and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. The Company includes Digital Money Transfer transactions in its regions, including transactions from the Company’s arrangements with financial institutions and other third parties to enable such entities to offer money transfer services to their own customers under their brands. By means of common processes and

systems, these regions, including Digital Money Transfer transactions, create one interconnected global network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer business and one operating segment.

The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises, and other organizations and individuals. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. During the third quarter of 2022, all parties agreed for the sale to be completed in three closings instead of two. The first closing occurred on March 1, 2022, the second is expected to occur in December 2022, and the third is expected in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and the Company’s money order services.

Corporate costs, including stock-based compensation and other overhead, are allocated to the segments primarily based on a percentage of the segments’ revenue compared to total revenue. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company stopped allocating corporate costs to its Business Solutions segment, given its agreement to sell this business, as discussed further in Note 4.

On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer. The sale will be completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022. The second is expected to occur in December 2022, with the third expected in the first quarter of 2023. The operations of the Business Solutions business to be sold in the second and third closings continue to be included in Revenues and Operating income after the first closing. During the period between the first and third closings, the Company will pay to the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as contractually agreed, and this expense is recognized in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income is also passed to the Buyer.

Represents the exit costs incurred in connection with the Company's suspension of its operations in Russia and Belarus and the divestiture of the Business Solutions business, primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible assets. While certain of the expenses are identifiable to the Company's segments, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information

and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for all periods presented.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of September 30, 2022 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, whether the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies, the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, and speed of service, as applicable. The Company also offers several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. For the substantial majority of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as the principal in transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss, and has the ability to establish transaction prices. The Company also provides services to financial institutions and other third parties to enable such entities to offer money transfer services to their own customers under their brands. Generally, in these arrangements, consumers agree to terms and conditions specified by the financial institution or other third party that, among other things, establish pricing paid by the consumer for the service. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis under these arrangements. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect.

Investment Securities

Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2061. These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification.

Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had the intent to sell certain state and municipal debt securities and recognized an impairment of $4.6 million, which was recorded to Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The sale of these securities was completed in the first week of October. The Company does not intend to sell the remaining securities and does not expect it will be required to sell the remaining securities prior to recovering their amortized cost basis. The Company’s provision for credit losses on its available-for-sale securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were immaterial.

Foreign Currency - Derivatives

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of September 30, 2022, these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges.

Foreign Currency - Business Solutions

Business Solutions Operations

The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. During the third quarter of 2022, all parties agreed for the sale to be completed in three closings instead of two. The first closing occurred on March 1, 2022, the second is expected to occur in December 2022, and the third is expected in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with Convera through the end of the third closing of the Business Solutions divestiture. The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions included in Revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $39.3 million and $99.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $151.5 million and $271.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting hedges and the majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception of less than one year.

Interest Rate Hedging

Interest Rate Hedging

Periodically, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term, variable-rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps.

(a)
The substantial majority of these securities are fixed-rate instruments.
(b)
As of September 30, 2022, the Company held 430 investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position, 386 of which have a total fair value of $918.2 million and unrealized losses of $77.7 million and have been in a loss position for less than twelve months and 44 of which have a total fair value of $80.5 million and unrealized losses of $13.0 million and have been in a loss position for greater than twelve months. As discussed above, the Company's provision for credit losses on its investment securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 were immaterial, as the increase in unrealized losses was driven by a rise in U.S. Treasury interest rates over the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(a)
In many circumstances, the Company allows its Business Solutions customers to settle part or all of their derivative contracts prior to maturity. However, the offsetting positions entered into with Convera do not allow for similar settlement. To mitigate this, additional foreign currency contracts are entered into with Convera to offset the original economic hedge contracts. This frequently results in changes in the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities that may not directly align with the performance in the underlying derivatives business.

(a)
On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer. The sale will be completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022. The second is expected to occur in December 2022, with the third expected in the first quarter of 2023. The operations of the Business Solutions business to be sold in the second and third closings continue to be included in Revenues and Operating income after the first closing. During the period between the first and third closings, the Company will pay to the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as contractually agreed, and this expense is recognized in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income is also passed to the Buyer.
(b)
Represents the exit costs incurred in connection with the Company's suspension of its operations in Russia and Belarus and the divestiture of the Business Solutions business, primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible assets. While certain of the expenses are identifiable to the Company's segments, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.

[1] As of September 30, 2022, the Company held 430 investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position, 386 of which have a total fair value of $918.2 million and unrealized losses of $77.7 million and have been in a loss position for less than twelve months and 44 of which have a total fair value of $80.5 million and unrealized losses of $13.0 million and have been in a loss position for greater than twelve months. As discussed above, the Company's provision for credit losses on its investment securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 were immaterial, as the increase in unrealized losses was driven by a rise in U.S. Treasury interest rates over the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
[2] The substantial majority of these securities are fixed-rate instruments.

[1] In many circumstances, the Company allows its Business Solutions customers to settle part or all of their derivative contracts prior to maturity. However, the offsetting positions entered into with Convera do not allow for similar settlement. To mitigate this, additional foreign currency contracts are entered into with Convera to offset the original economic hedge contracts. This frequently results in changes in the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities that may not directly align with the performance in the underlying derivatives business.

[1] On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to the Buyer. The sale will be completed in three closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022. The second is expected to occur in December 2022, with the third expected in the first quarter of 2023. The operations of the Business Solutions business to be sold in the second and third closings continue to be included in Revenues and Operating income after the first closing. During the period between the first and third closings, the Company will pay to the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as contractually agreed, and this expense is recognized in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income is also passed to the Buyer.
[2] Represents the exit costs incurred in connection with the Company's suspension of its operations in Russia and Belarus and the divestiture of the Business Solutions business, primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible assets. While certain of the expenses are identifiable to the Company's segments, the expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results.
