Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Organization
The Company is a global professional services firm that drives digitally-led innovation and runs digitally-enabled intelligent operations for its clients, guided by its experience running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 clients. The Company has over 138,500 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 35 countries.
- Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda company, and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of derivative financial instruments, measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations for revenue recognition, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(c) Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Contingent consideration is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value as of each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including goodwill, are assigned to reporting units. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses.
Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on December 31, based on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. The Company performs an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment of events or circumstances, the Company performs a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the quantitative impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of such goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In addition, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 9 for information and related disclosures.
Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination and developed internally are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss based on their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Customer-related intangible assets | 1 | - | 8 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing-related intangible assets | 1 | - | 8 years |
| Technology-related intangible assets | 2 | - | 10 years |
Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized.
In business combinations where the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased exceeds the cost of the acquired business, the Company recognizes the resulting gain under “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company also capitalizes certain software and technology-related development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers when the initial design phase is completed and commercial and technological feasibility has been established. Any development cost incurred before technological feasibility is established is expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed design program or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Capitalized software and technology costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software and technology and (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the project.
Costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers which are under development and not put to use are disclosed under “intangible assets under development.” Advances paid towards the acquisition of intangible assets outstanding as of each balance sheet date are disclosed under “intangible assets under development.”
Capitalized software and technology costs are included in intangible assets under technology-related intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software and technology.
The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets that are being amortized at each reporting period wherever events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization, and the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.
(d) Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one corporation or bank and conducts ongoing evaluations of the creditworthiness of the corporations and banks with which it does business. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
(e) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced or to be invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for current expected credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses which are adjusted to current market conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
The Company uses revolving accounts receivable-based facilities in the normal course of business as part of managing its cash flows. The Company accounts for receivables sold under these facilities as a sale of financial assets pursuant to ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing” and de-recognizes these receivables, as well as the related allowances, from its balance sheets. Generally, the fair value of accounts receivable sold approximates their book value due to their short-term nature, and any gains or losses on the sale of these receivables are recorded at the time of transfer and included under "interest income (expense), net" in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
(f) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from business process management services, including analytics, consulting and related digital solutions and information technology services, which are provided primarily on a time-and-material, transaction or fixed-price basis. The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Revenues from services rendered under time-and-materials and transaction-based contracts are recognized as the services are provided. The Company’s fixed-price contracts include contracts for customization of applications, maintenance and support services. Revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company accrues for revenue and unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.
The Company’s contracts with its customers also include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered or promised to be delivered to the customer or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Revenues relating to such arrangements are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.
The Company records deferred revenue attributable to certain process transition activities where such activities do not represent separate performance obligations. Revenues relating to such transition activities are classified under contract liabilities and subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Costs relating to such transition activities are fulfillment costs which are directly related to the contract and result in the enhancement of resources. Such costs are expected to be recoverable under the contract and are therefore classified as contract cost assets and recognized ratably over the estimated expected period of benefit under cost of revenue.
Revenues are reported net of value-added tax, business tax and applicable discounts and allowances. Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from customers have been included as part of revenues.
Revenue for performance obligations that are satisfied over time is recognized in accordance with the methods prescribed for measuring progress. The input (cost expended) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and the satisfaction of a performance obligation. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.
The Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of products or services. The Company determines whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and is distinct in the context of the contract. If not, the promised products or services are combined and accounted for as a single performance obligation. In the event of a multiple-element revenue arrangement, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices.
Certain contracts may include offerings such as sale of licenses, which may be perpetual or subscription-based. Revenue from distinct, non-cancellable, subscription-based licenses is recognized at the point in time it is transferred to the customer. Revenue from any associated maintenance or ongoing support services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For a combined software license/services performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period that the services are performed.
All incremental and direct costs incurred for acquiring contracts, such as certain sales commissions, are classified as contract cost assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other upfront fees paid to customers are classified as contract assets. Such fees are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue.
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. If a payment is received in respect of services prior to the delivery of services, the payment is recognized as an advance from the customer and classified as a contract liability. Contract assets and contract liabilities relating to the same customer contract are offset against each other and presented on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements.
(g) Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on whether: (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the inception of a lease, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component based on its relative standalone price to determine the lease payments.
Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of the above criteria.
For all leases at the lease commencement date, a ROU asset and a lease liability are recognized. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the lease commencement. The lease liabilities are subsequently measured on an amortized cost basis. The lease liability is adjusted to reflect interest on the liability and the lease payments made during the period. Interest on the lease liability is determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.
The ROU asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ROU asset for each lease initially includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, accrued lease liabilities and any lease incentives received or any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.
The ROU asset of finance leases is subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The ROU asset of operating leases is subsequently measured from the carrying amount of the lease liability at the end of each reporting period, and is equal to the carrying amount of lease liabilities adjusted for (1) unamortized initial direct costs, (2) prepaid/(accrued) lease payments and (3) the unamortized balance of lease incentives received.
The carrying value of ROU assets is reviewed for impairment, similar to long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases and to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (“short-term leases”).
Significant judgements
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. Under certain of its leases, the Company has a renewal and termination option to lease assets for additional terms betweenone andten years. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. The Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal or termination option. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within the Company’s control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew or terminate.
The Company has applied an incremental borrowing rate for the purpose of computing lease liabilities based on the remaining lease term and the rates prevailing in the jurisdictions where leases were executed.
(h)Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation), recruitment, training and related costs of employees who are directly responsible for the performance of services for customers, their supervisors and certain support personnel who may be dedicated to a particular client or a set of processes. It also includes operational expenses, such as facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses, rent, IT expenses, contract resources with specialized skills who are directly responsible for the performance of services for clients, and other billable costs related to the Company’s clients. It also includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible and ROU assets which are directly related to providing services that generate revenue.
(i)Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of expenses relating to salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation) as well as costs related to recruitment, training and retention of senior management and other support personnel in enabling functions such as human resources, finance, legal, marketing, sales and sales support, and other support personnel. The operational costs component of SG&A expenses also includes travel and living costs for such personnel. SG&A expenses also include acquisition-related costs, legal and professional fees (which represent the costs of third party legal, tax, accounting and other advisors), investment in research and development, digital technology, advanced automation and robotics, and an allowance for credit losses. It also includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangibles and ROU assets other than those included in cost of revenue.
(j) Credit losses
An allowance for credit losses is recognized for all debt instruments other than those held at fair value through profit or loss. The Company pools its accounts receivable (other than deferred billings) based on similar risk characteristics in estimating expected credit losses. Credit losses for accounts receivable are based on the roll-rate method, and the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors and the economic environment. The Company believes the most relevant forward-looking factors are economic environment, gross domestic product, inflation rates and unemployment rates for each of the countries in which the Company or its customers operate, and accordingly the Company adjusts historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. At every reporting date, observed historical default rates are updated to reflect changes in the Company’s forward-looking estimates.
Credit losses for other financial assets and deferred billings are based on the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. Under the DCF method, the allowance for credit losses reflects the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. The expected cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Such allowances are based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset which includes consideration of prepayments based on the Company’s expectation as of the balance sheet date.
A financial asset is written off when it is deemed uncollectible and there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate amounts previously written off, are included in determining the allowance at each reporting period.
Credit losses are presented as a credit loss expense within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
(k) Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such assets are required to be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The impairment amount to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. The Company determines fair value by using a discounted cash flow approach.
(l) Assets held for sale
A long-lived asset (or a disposal group for a long-lived asset comprising a group of assets and related liabilities) is classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that the asset will be recovered through sale rather than continuing use.
The Company records assets held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The following criteria are used to determine if a business is held for sale: (i) management, having the authority to approve a sale, commits to a plan to sell; (ii) the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and a plan to sell the business have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the business is probable within one year; (v) the business is being actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price relative to its fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that the plan to sell will be withdrawn or that significant changes to the plan will be made.
In determining the fair value of the assets less costs to sell, the Company considers factors including current sales prices for comparable assets, discounted cash flow projections, third party valuation and any indicative offers. The Company’s assumptions about fair value require significant judgment because the current market is highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. The Company estimates the fair values of assets held for sale based on current market conditions and assumptions made by management, which may differ from actual results and may result in impairments if market conditions deteriorate.
Any impairment loss on the initial classification and subsequent measurement is recognized as an expense. Any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell (not exceeding the accumulated impairment loss that has been previously recognized) is recognized in the income statement.
When assets are classified as held for sale, the Company does not record any depreciation and amortization for the respective property, plant and equipment and intangibles.
(m) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The authoritative bodies release standards and guidance which are assessed by management for impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The following recently released accounting standard has been adopted by the Company:
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires a lessee in a common-control lease arrangement to amortize leasehold improvements that it owns over the improvements’ useful life to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, if the lessee continues to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.
The following recently released accounting standards have not yet been adopted by the Company:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280)." This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements by enhancing disclosures about significant segment expenses. It requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses, other segment items, and additional measures of segment profit or loss, providing more comprehensive information for investors and stakeholders. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)." This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities on an annual basis (1) to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and (2) to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, i.e., if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate. It also requires entities to disclose the income taxes paid (net of refunds received), broken out between federal (national), state/local and foreign, as well as the amounts paid to an individual jurisdiction when 5% or more of the total income taxes were paid to such jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its disclosures.

Deferred billings, net of related allowances for credit losses, are included under “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024.
- Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses (Continued)
The Company has a revolving accounts receivable-based facility of $75,000 and $60,000 as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, respectively, permitting it to sell accounts receivable to banks on a non-recourse basis in the ordinary course of business. The aggregate maximum capacity utilized by the Company at any time during the year ended December 31, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $51,367 and $55,870, respectively. The principal amount outstanding against this facility as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024 was $51,344 and $53,069, respectively. The cost of factoring such accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024 was $454 and $589, respectively, and $1,368 and $2,015, respectively. Gains or losses on the sales are recorded at the time of transfer of the accounts receivable and are included under "interest income (expense), net" in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
The Company also has arrangements with financial institutions that manage the accounts payable program for certain of the Company's large clients. The Company sells certain accounts receivable pertaining to such clients to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. There is no cap on the value of accounts receivable that can be sold under these arrangements. The Company used these arrangements to sell accounts receivable amounting to $324,401 during the year ended December 31, 2023, and $191,295 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which also represents the maximum capacity utilized under these arrangements in each such period. The cost of factoring such accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024 was $2,011 and $1,395, respectively, and $5,981 and $4,436, respectively.

- Derivative financial instruments
The Company is exposed to the risk of rate fluctuations on its foreign currency assets and liabilities and on foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rates. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments consist of deliverable and non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts, treasury rate locks and interest rate swaps. The Company enters into these contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material. The forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps mature during a period of up to 51 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period.

(a)Notional amounts are key elements of derivative financial instrument agreements but do not represent the amount exchanged by counterparties and do not measure the Company’s exposure to credit, foreign exchange, interest rate or market risks. However, the amounts exchanged are based on the notional amounts and other provisions of the underlying derivative financial instrument agreements. Notional amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars.
(b)Balance sheet exposure is denominated in U.S. dollars and denotes the mark-to-market impact of the derivative financial instruments on the reporting date.
FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging, the Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to cover the effects of future exchange rate variability on forecasted revenues and purchases of services, and interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks are entered into to cover interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition to this program, the Company uses derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges under FASB guidance in order to hedge foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency.
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and their location in the Company’s financial statements are summarized in the table below:

Cash flow hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain (loss) on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Gains (losses) on the derivatives, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings as incurred.
In March 2021, the Company executed a treasury rate lock agreement for $350,000 in connection with future interest payments to be made on its senior notes issued in March 2021 by Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Genpact Luxembourg”) and Genpact USA, Inc. (“Genpact USA”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and the treasury rate lock was designated as a cash flow hedge. The treasury rate lock agreement was terminated on March 23, 2021 and a deferred gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This gain is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2021 Senior Notes (as defined below). The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreement as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024 was $368 and $247, respectively.
In May 2024, the Company executed treasury rate lock agreements for $400,000 in connection with future interest payments to be made on its senior notes issued in June 2024 by Genpact Luxembourg and Genpact USA, and the treasury rate locks were designated as cash flow hedges. These treasury rate lock agreements were terminated on May 30, 2024 and a deferred loss was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This loss is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2024 Senior Notes (as defined below). The remaining loss to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreements as of September 30, 2024 was $371.

- Assets and liabilities held for sale
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company took actions to realign its portfolio to focus on services it believes have the greatest opportunities for growth, and deprioritized assets that no longer fit with its long-term strategy. Pursuant to a plan approved by management in the second quarter of 2022, the Company identified and divested a business (the “Business”) that was part of the Company's Consumer and Healthcare segment.
The transaction to divest the Business included the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of an entity pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, which was completed in December 2022. It also included the sale of certain assets and liabilities pursuant to an asset purchase agreement signed during the fourth quarter of 2022. The sale of such assets was completed in February 2023.
- Assets and liabilities held for sale (Continued)
Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement related to the sale of the Business, the Company was entitled to a potential earn-out of up to $10,600, contingent upon the Business signing contracts with certain clients and invoicing them during 2023. The Company determined that the likelihood of achieving these events was uncertain, and accordingly, the Company opted to record the earn-out if and when the consideration was determined to be realizable. During the year ended December 31 2023, the Company did not receive any earn-out consideration under the stock purchase agreement as the earn-out events were not achieved. Accordingly, the Company did not record any income from earn-out consideration.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement signed in 2022 related to the sale of the Business, the Company held a 1.5% fixed rate unsecured loan note amounting to $18,001 issued by the buyer group. The Company's obligation to transfer $18,001 to the buyer group in exchange for the note was satisfied in February 2023 upon the closing of the transaction. The note and interest thereon were to become receivable by the Company upon a future share sale, disposal or listing by the buyer group or early voluntary repayment of the note at the discretion of the buyer group. The Company previously deemed the likelihood of recovery of principal and interest on the note to be remote and not in the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company did not record a value for the note.
In November 2023, the Company and the buyer group signed a supplemental deed amending the loan note. Under the supplemental deed, the redemption period was shortened tosix months from the execution of the supplemental deed, and the redemption sum was reduced to $1,500. However, under the terms of the supplemental deed, if the Company did not receive the payment of the redemption sum within the revisedsix month redemption period, the loan note would remain in full force and effect under its original terms and value without modification or amendment under the supplemental deed. In March 2024, the note was redeemed by the buyer group and the Company received the redemption sum of $1,500 against the loan note. The redemption sum received has been recorded in "other operating (income) expense, net" in the Company's consolidated statement of income. See Note 20 for additional information.
The Company completed the sale of the Business in February 2023, resulting in a net payout of $2,091 and a loss of $802 on the sale of the Business in the three months ended March 31, 2023, in addition to an impairment charge of $32,575 recorded in the year ended December 31, 2022. However, the Company recorded a gain of $1,500 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 upon the buyer group's redemption of the loan note as described above. The loss (gain) on the sale of the Business has been recorded in "other operating (income) expense, net" in the Company's consolidated statement of income. See Note 20 for additional information.

Deferred compensation plan
On July 1, 2018, Genpact LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, adopted an executive deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides a select group of U.S.-based members of Company management with the opportunity to defer from 1% to 80% of their base salary and from 1% to 100% of their qualifying bonus compensation (or such other minimums or maximums as determined by the Plan administrator from time to time) pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Participant deferrals are 100% vested at all times. The Plan also allows for discretionary supplemental employer contributions by the Company, in its sole discretion, which will be subject to atwo-year vesting schedule (50% vesting on the one-year anniversary of approval of the contribution and 50% vesting on the second year anniversary of approval of the contribution) or such other vesting schedule as determined by the Company. However, no such contributions have been made by the Company to date.
- Employee benefit plans (Continued)
The Plan also provides an option for participants to elect to receive deferred compensation and earnings thereon on either fixed date(s) no earlier thantwo years following the applicable Plan year (or end of the applicable performance period for performance-based bonus compensation) or following a separation from service, in each case either in a lump sum or in annual installments over a term of up to 15 years. Participants can elect to change or re-defer their rights to receive the deferred compensation until the 10 th anniversary following their separation from service, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. Each Plan participant’s compensation deferrals are credited or debited with notional investment gains and losses equal to the performance of selected hypothetical investment funds offered under the Plan and elected by the participant.
The Company has investments in funds held in Company-owned life insurance policies which are held in a Rabbi Trust that are classified as trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date.

The Company recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the option.
Compensation cost is determined at the date of grant by estimating the fair value of an option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
No options were granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024.

Restricted share units
The Company has granted restricted share units (“RSUs”) under the 2007 Omnibus Plan and 2017 Omnibus Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receiveone common share. The fair value of each RSU is the market price ofone common share of the Company on the date of grant. The RSUs granted to date have graded vesting schedules ofthree months tofour years. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. A summary of RSU activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is set out below:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 | |||

(b)The number of RSUs expected to vest reflects the application of an estimated forfeiture rate.
9,103 RSUs vested in the year ended December 31, 2023, in respect of which 4,983 shares were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 after withholding shares to the extent of minimum statutory withholding taxes.
46,358 RSUs vested in the year ended December 31, 2022, in respect of which 45,922 shares were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 after withholding shares to the extent of minimum statutory withholding taxes.
As of September 30, 2024, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to $52,495, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 1.9 years.
Performance units
The Company also grants stock awards in the form of performance units (“PUs”) and has granted PUs under both the 2007 Omnibus Plan and 2017 Omnibus Plan.
Each PU represents the right to receiveone common share at a future date based on the Company’s performance against specified targets. PUs granted to date have vesting schedules of approximatelysix months tothree years. PUs granted under the plans are subject to cliff vesting. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms.
For PUs granted prior to 2023, the fair value of each PU is the market price ofone common share of the Company on the date of grant and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. For PUs that have a performance period ofone year, the Company’s estimate of the number of shares to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets.
For the PUs granted annually beginning in 2023, the performance period of the awards has been increased tothree years fromone year. The number of PUs that will ultimately vest under the PU awards granted in 2023 and 2024 will be determined, subject to certain conditions and limitations, based on the Company’s achievement of the performance targets set forth in the awards as well as its total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the companies included as of the beginning of the performance period in the S&P 400 Midcap Index (the “Peer Group”) over thethree-year performance period.
The grant date fair value for PUs granted in 2023 and 2024 is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model simulates a range of possible future share prices and estimates the probabilities of the potential payouts. This model also incorporates the following assumptions:
The historical volatility for the companies in the Peer Group was measured using the most recent three-year period.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate assumption commensurate with thethree-year performance period.
For determining the TSR of the Company and the companies in the Peer Group, dividends will be assumed to have been reinvested in the stock of the issuing entities on a continuous basis.
The correlation coefficients used to model the way in which each entity tends to move in relation to each other are based upon the price data used to calculate historical volatility.
The fair value of each PU granted to employees in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was estimated on the date of grant using the following valuation assumptions:
| Dividend yield | 1.62% - 1.81% |
|---|---|
| Expected life (years) | 2.38 - 2.80 |
| Risk-free rate for expected life | 3.83% - 4.37% |
| Volatility for expected life | 24.24% - 26.33% |

- Earnings per share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB guidance on earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share give effect to the change in the number of Company common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. The potentially dilutive shares, consisting of outstanding options on common shares, RSUs, common shares to be issued under the ESPP and PUs, have been included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share and the number of weighted average shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
The number of shares subject to stock awards outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive is 2,213,546 and 2,510,837 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and 2,389,358 and 1,982,664 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively.
| Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | |
| Net income | $117,593 | $132,818 | $339,946 | $371,755 |
| Weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic earnings per common share | 181,399,897 | 177,595,400 | 182,808,518 | 179,221,213 |
| Dilutive effect of stock-based awards | 2,401,894 | 2,118,823 | 2,929,211 | 1,633,469 |

- Segment reporting
The Company manages various types of business process and information technology services in an integrated manner for clients in various industries and geographic locations. The Company's operating segments are significant strategic business units that align its products and services with how it manages its business, approaches key markets and interacts with its clients.
The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: (1) Financial Services, (2) Consumer and Healthcare, and (3) High Tech and Manufacturing.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), reviews operating segment revenue, which is a GAAP measure, and adjusted income from operations ("AOI"), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company does not allocate, and therefore the CODM does not evaluate, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, foreign exchange gain/(losses) (other than those included in income from operations), interest income/(expense), restructuring (expense)/income, acquisition related expenses, any losses or gains from businesses held for sale, including impairment charges, other income/(expense), or income taxes by segment. The Company’s operating assets and liabilities pertain to multiple segments. The Company manages assets and liabilities on a total company basis, not by operating segment, and therefore asset and liabilities information and capital expenditures by operating segment are not presented to the CODM and are not reviewed by the CODM. Adjusted income from operations for “Others” primarily represents the impact of certain under or over-absorption of corporate overheads, and allowance for credit losses, which are not allocated to the Company’s segments for management’s internal reporting purposes.
The Company disaggregates its revenue as revenue from either Digital Operations services or Data-Tech-AI services based on the nature of the services provided. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company realigned as Data-Tech-AI services certain services that had previously been designated as Digital Operations services based on the nature of work performed and the mode of delivery for these particular services, which have evolved over time. Accordingly, the Company has updated the classification of revenue derived from Digital Operations services and Data-Tech-AI services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to present comparable information. See Note 19 for additional information.
The CODM continues to review operating segment revenue, which is a GAAP measure, and adjusted income from operations, which is a non-GAAP measure.
Revenues and adjusted income from operations for each of the Company’s segments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

(a) During the second quarter of 2022, the Company's management approved a plan to divest a business that was part of the Company's Consumer and Healthcare segment. The revenues and associated operating losses attributable to this business, including a loss on the sale of this business recorded in the first quarter of 2023, have been excluded from the computation of adjusted operating income margin with effect from April 1, 2022, as management believes that excluding these items provides useful information about the Company's financial performance and underlying business trends.

Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue as revenue from either Digital Operations services or Data-Tech-AI services based on the nature of the services provided.
The Company's Digital Operations services embed digital, advanced analytics and cloud-based offerings into its business process outsourcing solutions where the Company transforms and runs its clients’ operations, with an aim to achieve higher levels of end-to-end performance. These services allow enterprises to be more flexible and help them focus on high-value work to better compete in their industries. The Company's Digital Operations solutions also include certain IT support services for legacy applications, including end user computing support and infrastructure production support.
The Company's Data-Tech-AI services focus on designing and building solutions that harness the power of technology, data and advanced analytics, AI, and cloud-based software-as-a-service offerings to help transform the Company's clients’ businesses and operations. These services are advisory, implementation and execution in nature. The Company provides consultative advice to clients as well as technology engineering support and migration and optimization of client’s data and technology enterprise infrastructures. Using human-centric design, the Company helps clients build new products and services, creates digital workspaces, and drives customer, client, employee and partner engagement.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company realigned as Data-Tech-AI services certain services that had previously been designated as Digital Operations services based on the nature of work performed and the mode of delivery for these particular services, which have evolved over time. Accordingly, the Company has updated the classification of revenue derived from Digital Operations services and Data-Tech-AI services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to present comparable information.
In the following table, the Company’s revenue is disaggregated by the nature of services provided:
| Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | |
| Data-Tech-AI | $523,370 | $569,420 | $1,558,279 | $1,639,298 |
| Digital Operations | 612,422 | 641,529 | 1,772,356 | 1,879,100 |
| Net revenues | $1,135,792 | $1,210,949 | $3,330,635 | $3,518,398 |
Allthree of the Company's segments include revenue from both Data-Tech-AI and Digital Operations services. See Note 18 for additional information.
Contract balances
Contract assets represent the contract acquisition fees or other upfront fees paid to a customer. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue. The Company’s assessment did not indicate any significant impairment losses on its contract assets for the periods presented.
Contract liabilities include that portion of revenue for which payments have been received in advance from customers. The Company also defers revenues attributable to certain process transition activities for which costs have been capitalized by the Company as contract fulfillment costs. Consideration received from customers, if any, relating to such transition activities is also included as part of contract liabilities. The contract liabilities are included within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The revenues are recognized as (or when) the performance obligation is fulfilled under the contract with the customer.
- Net revenues (Continued)
The following table shows the details of the Company’s contract balances:
| As of December 31, 2023 | As of September 30, 2024 | |

- Income taxes
The Company determines its tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.
The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 24.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, up from 24.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the Company’s ETR in the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by lower discrete benefits in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The Company’s ETR was 24.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, up from 23.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the Company’s ETR in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by lower tax deductions related to stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The following table summarizes activities related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
| Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|
| Opening balance at January 1 | $19,236 |
| Decrease related to prior year tax positions due to lapse of applicable statute of limitation | (37) |
| Decrease related to settlements with taxing authorities | (341) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes | (87) |
| Closing balance at September 30 | $18,771 |
As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $19,236 and $18,771, respectively, which, if recognized, would impact the Company’s ETR.
As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, the Company had accrued $3,312 and $3,387, respectively, in interest and $499 and $512, respectively, for penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.
- Income taxes (Continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $220 and $(813), respectively, in interest related to income taxes.
- Commitments and contingencies
Capital commitments
As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, the Company has committed to spend $15,982 and $33,533, respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases.
Bank guarantees
The Company has outstanding bank guarantees and letters of credit amounting to $10,963 and $10,300 as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, respectively. Bank guarantees are generally provided to government agencies or for leases. These guarantees may be revoked if the beneficiary suffers any losses or damages through the breach of any of the covenants contained in the agreements governing such guarantees.
Other commitments
Certain units of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries are established as Software Technology Parks of India units or Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) units under the relevant regulations issued by the Government of India. These units are exempt from customs and other duties on imported and indigenous capital goods, stores and spares. SEZ units are also exempt from the Indian Goods and Services Tax that was introduced in India in 2017. The Company has undertaken to pay taxes and duties, if any, in respect of capital goods, stores, spares and services consumed duty-free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled.
Contingency
(a) In February 2019, there was a judicial pronouncement in India with respect to defined contribution benefit payments interpreting certain statutory defined contribution obligations of employees and employers. If applied retrospectively, the interpretation would result in an increase in contributions payable by the Company for past periods for certain of its India-based employees. Due to a lack of interpretive guidance and based on legal advice the Company has obtained on the matter, it is currently impracticable to reliably estimate the timing and amount of any payments the Company may be required to make. Accordingly, the Company will await further clarity to evaluate the amount of a potential provision, if any.
(b) The Indian taxing authorities ("ITA") have issued assessment orders to certain subsidiaries of the Company seeking to assess income tax on certain transactions that occurred in 2015. The Company has received demands for potential tax claims related to these orders in an aggregate amount of $110,448, including interest through the date of the orders. This amount excludes penalties or interest accrued since the date of the orders. The Company is pursuing appeals before the relevant appellate authorities in respect of these orders. Further, in respect of a 2015 transaction, the ITA has attempted to revise a previously closed assessment. During 2022, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal of India (the "Tribunal") ruled in favor of the Company denying the ITA's ability to revise the assessment, and the ITA have appealed this ruling before the Delhi High Court. In January 2023, notwithstanding the Tribunal’s decision in the Company's favor, the ITA issued a revised assessment order to the Company, and in March 2023, this assessment order was struck down by the Tribunal. The ITA have filed an appeal challenging this most recent decision of the Tribunal before the Delhi High Court. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company’s position will ultimately prevail in respect of these transactions. Accordingly, no unrecognized tax benefit has been provided with respect to this matter as of September 30, 2024.
(c) In September 2020, the Indian Parliament approved new labor codes, including the Code on Social Security, 2020 (the “Code”), which will impact the Company’s contributions to its defined benefit plans for employees based in India. The Code has not yet been made effective, and the rules for different states are in the process of being framed. The Company has carried out a preliminary evaluation of the impact the Code will have on the Company. The final impact will be assessed after the Code becomes effective and the related rules are published.
- Restructuring
The Company has implemented a flexible, hybrid global delivery model in line with the Company's long-term strategy that incorporates a mix of offshore, onshore, near shore, and remote working. As a result, in the second quarter of 2022, the Company determined that certain leases and employee roles were no longer needed and recorded a restructuring charge relating to the abandonment of leased office premises and an employee severance charge.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company successfully terminated a lease agreement involving leased premises that were abandoned as part of the 2022 restructuring. Accordingly, effective upon the lease termination date, the Company recorded a gain in other operating (income) expense of $4,874 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There wasno restructuring charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
- Subsequent events
Dividend
On October 17, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend for the third quarter of 2024 of $0.1525 per common share, which is payable on December 23, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 9, 2024. The declaration of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and subject to Bermuda and other applicable laws.
