Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- As we focus on executing and delivering integration, separation and transformation initiatives, we have incurred and anticipate incurring incremental expenses related to these activities through 2028.
- We currently expect our transformation initiatives to generate more than $650 million of annual run-rate operating income benefit by the first half of 2027 and for our Worldpay integration activities to generate $650 million of annual run-rate synergies by year-end 2028.
- However, as the future magnitude, duration and effects of these conditions are difficult to predict, we are unable to project the extent of the potential effect on our financial results.
- We expect to continue to make capital investments in the business, and we anticipate capital expenditures to be approximately $1.0 billion during the year ending December 31, 2026.
- Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that our plans and expectations will be achieved.
- In accordance with our integration efforts, we plan to incorporate Worldpay's operations into our internal control over financial reporting program within the time provided by the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S.
- In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from the outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.
