| Equity Method Investment | Equity Method Investment As discussed in Note 1, the Company completed the 2024 Worldpay Sale on January 31, 2024, retaining a non-controlling equity interest in Worldpay. We accounted for our 45% minority ownership in Worldpay using the equity method of accounting. Beginning on February 1, 2024, the Company's share of the net income of Worldpay and our investor-level tax impact is reported as Equity method investment earnings (loss), net of tax, in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). We received distributions from Worldpay of $0 million and $22 million during the three months, and $32 million and $66 million during the six months, ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are recorded in Distributions from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As also discussed in Note 1, on January 9, 2026, FIS completed its previously announced sale of its remaining equity interests in Worldpay for a pre-tax amount of $5.8 billion, net of transaction fees and other costs. We continued to account for our non-controlling 45% equity interest in Worldpay using the equity method of accounting through the closing date of the transaction. As a result of the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale, we recorded as part of Equity method investment earnings (loss) an estimated pre-tax gain of $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026, representing the excess of the net selling price over the carrying value of the Worldpay equity method investment as of the date of closing, adjusted for the impact of our share of Worldpay's cumulative translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss). In addition, we recorded as part of Equity method investment earnings (loss) estimated tax expense of $44 million in the first quarter of 2026, which is net of the reversal of our Worldpay equity method investment deferred tax liability as of January 8, 2026. Post-closing purchase price adjustments and completion of other purchase agreement provisions in connection with the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale could result in further adjustments to the estimated gain on sale. The final gain could differ materially from the current estimate. The final tax due also remains subject to change based on the excess of sales proceeds over the tax basis and other factors, including the final consideration allocation for tax purposes. Summary Worldpay financial information is as follows (in millions):
(1)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, this amount is net of $(533) million and $(511) million, respectively, of investor-level tax (expense) benefit, as well as intra-entity eliminations for timing differences between the Company and Worldpay's recognition of profits and losses on related-party transactions. The investor-level tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, includes $539 million of expense related to deferred taxes recognized following the Company's decision to sell its remaining interest in Worldpay.
Continuing Involvement with Discontinued Operations and Related-Party Transactions Following the January 9, 2026, sale of its remaining ownership interest in Worldpay, the Company no longer has an equity interest in, or related-party relationship with, Worldpay. Comparative period information is presented to reflect related-party activity during periods in which Worldpay was a related party. The Company continues to have limited involvement with Worldpay primarily through a transition services agreement ("TSA") and certain other commercial agreements. Under the terms of the TSA, the Company procures certain third-party services on behalf of Worldpay and provides technology infrastructure, risk and security, accounting and various other corporate services to Worldpay, while Worldpay provides certain corporate services to the Company to support access to resources transferred in the 2024 Worldpay Sale. The TSA term extends through June 30, 2027, subject to further extension for a period of up to January 8, 2028. Certain commercial agreements originally entered into with Worldpay were amended to extend services to Global Payments. The TSA and commercial agreements also provide for certain annual purchase commitments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, while Worldpay remained a related party, third-party pass-through costs of $22 million and $42 million, respectively, were incurred under the TSA and were netted against the equal and offsetting reimbursement amounts due from Worldpay. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net TSA services income of $28 million and $56 million, respectively, was recognized in Other operating (income) expense, net, with approximately two-thirds of the corresponding expense recorded in Cost of revenue and the remainder recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). Revenue earned from various commercial services provided to Worldpay during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was $38 million and $73 million, respectively. During those same periods, the Company collected net cash of $82 million and $233 million, respectively, related to agreements with Worldpay. As of December 31, 2025, amounts associated with the TSA included payables to Worldpay of $24 million in Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Prior to the 2024 Worldpay Sale, the Company issued standby letters of credit and made parental guarantees (collectively "Guarantees") in the ordinary course of its business to various counterparties on behalf of certain former subsidiaries included in the 2024 Worldpay Sale, including a guarantee of a liability that a Worldpay subsidiary owes to the former owners of Worldpay Group plc (the "CVR Liability"). Effective upon the closing of the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale, FIS and Worldpay agreed to maintain these Guarantees through December 31, 2026, affording Worldpay time to arrange for alternatives to the Guarantees. Worldpay's aggregate amount of borrowing capacity under the standby letters of credit guaranteed by FIS was $289 million and $294 million as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no amounts drawn under the standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, Worldpay's CVR Liability due on October 12, 2027, was $378 million. There is no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the other remaining Guarantees, and such maximum potential amount of future payments under the other remaining Guarantees cannot be estimated due to the conditional nature of the Company's obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement. As of June 30, 2026, there are no amounts drawn under any of the Guarantees. In the event a Worldpay subsidiary were to default on a performance obligation covered by the Guarantees, the Company could be required to make payment or be subject to claims; however, in any such case, Worldpay is required under the terms of the agreement governing the 2024 Worldpay Sale to fully reimburse and indemnify the Company. The Company considers the likelihood of incurring a loss under the Guarantees to be remote, and no amounts have been accrued with respect to these Guarantees.
