Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results.
- As customers are evaluating payment hubs, we expect that ACI Connetic and our strategy for stablecoin support will be well-received in the market.
- For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition are complex, and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction.
- • Renewal Backlog, which includes estimated future revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period.
- • Anticipated increases in transaction, account, or processing volumes by our customers.
- Such efforts include project management, delivery, product customization and implementation, installation support, consulting, configuration, and on-site support.
- We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, our cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility over the next 12 months and beyond.
- The Company has recognized deferred income taxes for local country income and withholding taxes that could be incurred on distributions of certain non-U.S. earnings in foreign subsidiaries, as these earnings are not intended to be indefinitely reinvested.
