| Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACI Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, is derived from the audited financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed on February 26, 2026. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained in the future. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, as well as uncertainty in the current economic environment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Other Current Liabilities The components of other current liabilities are included in the following table (in thousands):
Settlement Assets and Liabilities Individuals and businesses settle their obligations to the Company’s various Biller clients using credit or debit cards or via automated clearing house (“ACH”) payments. The Company creates a receivable for the amount due from the credit or debit card processor and an offsetting payable to the client. Upon confirmation that the funds have been received, the Company settles the obligation to the client. Due to timing, in some instances, the Company may (1) receive the funds into bank accounts controlled by and in the Company’s name that are not disbursed to its clients by the end of the day, resulting in a settlement deposit on the Company’s books and (2) disburse funds to its clients in advance of receiving funds from the credit or debit card processor, resulting in a net settlement receivable position. Off Balance Sheet Settlement Accounts The Company also enters into agreements with certain Biller clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an ACH or automated teller machine network payment transaction is processed, a transaction is initiated to withdraw funds from the designated source account and deposit them into a settlement account, which is a trust account maintained for the benefit of the Company’s clients. A simultaneous transaction is initiated to transfer funds from the settlement account to the intended destination account. These “back to back” transactions are designed to settle at the same time, usually overnight, such that the Company receives the funds from the source at the same time as it sends the funds to their destination. However, due to the transactions being with various financial institutions there may be timing differences that result in float balances. These funds are maintained in accounts for the benefit of the client which is separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, these settlement accounts are not included in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company is entitled to interest earned on the fund balances. The collection of interest on these settlement accounts is considered in the Company’s determination of its fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for services performed by the Company. The amount of settlement funds as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, was $177.3 million and $238.4 million, respectively. Fair Value The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate the carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Goodwill In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year using October 1 balances or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company evaluates goodwill at the reporting unit level using the discounted cash flow valuation model and allocates goodwill to these reporting units using a relative fair value approach. During this assessment, management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, and anticipated future cash flows. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's goodwill balance of $1.2 billion was allocated $814.0 million to Payment Software and $417.0 million to Biller. Recoverability of goodwill is measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Use of a discounted cash flow model is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available transactional market evidence to determine the fair value. The calculated fair value was substantially in excess of the current carrying value for all reporting units based upon the October 1, 2025, annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods. Equity Method Investment In July 2019, the Company invested $18.3 million for a 30% non-controlling financial interest in a payment technology and services company in India. The Company accounted for this investment using the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and recorded its share of earnings and losses in the investment on a one-quarter lag basis. In March 2025, the Company sold its 30% interest for $46.0 million. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $25.9 million, which is recorded in other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses for certain short-term receivables and contract assets arising from revenue transactions. The ASU introduces a practical expedient that allows entities to assume current economic conditions will persist through the reasonable and supportable forecast period for eligible assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this update will require entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of specific expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and early application is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement footnote disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this update modernize the accounting guidance for internal-use software by replacing the previous stage-based model with a principles-based framework. Under the new guidance, cost capitalization begins when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The update also supersedes the existing rules for website development costs, incorporating them into the internal-use software framework. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, which updates interim reporting guidance under Topic 270 by introducing a principles‑based framework for determining the form and content of interim financial statements. The amendments clarify that interim reports should focus on significant changes since the last annual period and require disclosure of material events and transactions occurring during interim periods. The update also eliminates outdated language, aligns certain interim disclosure requirements with annual reporting, and provides guidance on applying materiality to interim disclosures. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its interim financial statements and related disclosures.
