Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Organization

The Company is a global advanced technology services and solutions company. Powered by its mix of deep industry expertise, operational excellence, and advanced technology, the Company helps companies reimagine finance and risk, supply chain and other core industry operations. The Company has over 140,000 employees serving clients from more than 35 countries.

  1. 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-K. 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 on 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, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use ("ROU") assets, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, unrecognized tax benefits 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) Goodwill and other intangible assets

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 assets1-9 years
Marketing-related intangible assets1-8 years
Technology-related intangible assets2-10 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 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 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 consolidated balance sheets 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. The amount to be invoiced represents the unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date. 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 does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

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 derecognizes 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-material 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 generation or 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 when the license 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 benefits 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. 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 lease.

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 customer or a set of processes. It also includes operational expenses, which consist of facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses, lease expenses, IT expenses, and consulting and certain other expenses. Consulting charges represent the cost of consultants and contract resources with specialized skills who are directly responsible for the performance of services for clients and travel 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) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

(l) Short-term investments

The Company’s short-term investments consist of investments in term deposits with more than three months of original maturity and less thanone year of remaining maturity as of the reporting date. The investments in term deposits are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities which are measured and recognized at amortized cost. Interest earned on term deposit investments is included in interest income (expense), net.

(m) Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Expenditures for replacements and improvements are capitalized, whereas the costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred.

The Company depreciates and amortizes all property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the following estimated economic useful lives of the assets:

Years
Buildings40
Furniture and fixtures4
Computer equipment and servers4
Plant, machinery and equipment4
Computer software4-7
Leasehold improvementsLease period or 10 years, whichever is less
Vehicles3-4

The Company capitalizes certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining computer software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software project, and (iii) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use computer software.

Capitalized computer software costs are included in property, plant and equipment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software.

Advances paid towards acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each balance sheet date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not put to use before such date are disclosed under “Capital work in progress.”

(n) 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 from 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.

(o) Foreign currency

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars, the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries organized in Europe, other than the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and one subsidiary in Poland, is the euro, and the functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in Brazil, China, Colombia, Guatemala, Argentina, India, Israel, Japan, Morocco, South Africa, the Philippines, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and Canada are their respective local currencies. The functional currency of all other Company subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The translation of the functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using a monthly average exchange rate prevailing during the respective period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported as currency translation adjustments under other comprehensive income (loss), net, under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity.

Monetary assets and liabilities of each subsidiary denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated into their respective functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Transactions of each subsidiary in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated into the respective functional currencies at the average monthly exchange rate prevailing during the period of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income.

(p) Derivative instruments and hedging activities

In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate fluctuation. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany transactions and forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate fluctuation risk on its indebtedness.

The Company recognizes derivative instruments and hedging activities as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets and measures them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the consolidated statements of income along with the underlying hedged item and disclosed as part of “Total net revenues,” “Cost of revenue,” “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” and “Interest expense,” as applicable. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portion of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and are included in foreign exchange gains, net, and other income (expense), net, respectively.

With respect to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative or portion thereof is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will prospectively discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative instrument.

In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative is retained, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent change in its fair value in the consolidated statements of income. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately, in foreign exchange gains, net in the consolidated statements of income, the gains and losses attributable to such derivative that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss).

(q) Income taxes

The Company calculates and provides for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and for all operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates of the respective jurisdictions which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount, based on the weight of available evidence, that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company applies a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring the benefit of tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining, based on the technical merits, that the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of the tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company includes interest and penalties related to income taxes within income tax expense.

The Company follows the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) upon recognition of these AOCI items in the consolidated statements of income.

(r) Employee benefit plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of income in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences dependent on whether the obligation is attributable to employee services already rendered, relates to rights that vest or accumulate and payment is probable and estimable.

The service cost is recognized under “cost of revenue” and “selling, general and administrative expenses,” depending on the functional area of the underlying employees included in the plans, and the non-operating components of net benefit plan costs are included within “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return on plan assets, future compensation increases and attrition rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.

(s)Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees. The plan is accounted for using the fair value measurement approach. Plan earnings are calculated by reference to actual earnings of the funds chosen by individual participants. In connection with the administration of this plan, the Company has purchased Company-owned life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain employees, held under a Rabbi Trust. The Company consolidates the invested assets of the trust. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in “other assets” at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Gains or losses on the plan’s assets and changes in the fair value of deferred compensation liabilities are included in “other income (expense), net,” and “selling, general and administrative expenses,” respectively, in the consolidated statements of income.

(t) Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes and measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value. For option awards, grant date fair value is determined under the option-pricing model (Black-Scholes-Merton model). For stock-based awards other than option awards and the performance units ("PUs") granted in 2023, grant date fair value is determined on the basis of the fair market value of a Company common share on the date of grant of such awards.

In 2023 and 2024, the Company granted performance units ("PUs") to certain employees. Vesting of these PUs is contingent upon Genpact's financial performance over thethree-year performance periods set out in the awards. For the PUs granted annually beginning in 2023, the performance period increased tothree years fromone year. The number of PUs granted in 2023 and 2024 that will ultimately vest will be determined, subject to certain conditions and limitations, based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the companies included as of the beginning of each performance period in the S&P 400 Midcap Index (the “Peer Group”) over thethree-year performance periods. Accordingly, the grant date fair value for PUs granted in 2023 and 2024 is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the stock-based awards. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. As a result, the expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from such estimates.

(u) Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used for stock-based awards except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

(v) Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with such liabilities are expensed as incurred.

(w) Debt restructuring

The Company accounts for any restructuring of its credit facility using the ten percent cash flow test in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. If the cash flow effect of the change in terms on a present-value basis is less than ten percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different, and are accounted for as a modification. If the change is more than ten percent, it is treated as an extinguishment. In performing the cash flow test, the Company includes all amounts paid to its lenders in connection with the restructuring but excludes third party expenses. In the case of a modification, all new fees paid to lenders are capitalized and amortized as part of the existing effective yield and any new fees paid to third parties are expensed as incurred. No gain or loss is recorded in the case of a modification. In the case of an extinguishment, all new fees paid to lenders are expensed as incurred and any new fees paid to third parties are capitalized and amortized as a debt issuance cost. The old debt is derecognized and the new debt is recorded at fair value and a gain or loss is recorded for the difference between the net carrying value of the original debt and the fair value of the new debt.

(x) 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 their 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.

(y) 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 standards have 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.

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. The Company adopted this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024 and updated its segment information disclosure with the requirements of this ASU. See Note 23 for additional information.

The following recently released accounting standards have not yet been adopted by the Company:

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 to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) 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.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, " Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Topic 220-40)." This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on the presentation of its consolidated statements of income and disclosures.

  1. 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 48 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period.

The following table presents the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding derivative financial instruments together with the related balance sheet exposure:

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 in Note 13). The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreement as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 was $368 and $206, 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 in Note 13). The remaining loss to be amortized related to the treasury rate lock agreements as of December 31, 2024 was $351.

In connection with cash flow hedges, the gains (losses) recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), and the related tax effects are summarized below:

  1. 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.

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 to six 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 months 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 statements 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 year ended December 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 year ended December 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.

  1. Employee benefit plans

The Company has employee benefit plans in the form of certain statutory and other programs covering its employees.

Defined benefit plans

In accordance with Indian law, the Company provides a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering substantially all of its Indian employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees upon retirement or termination of employment in an amount based on each employee’s salary and duration of employment with the Company. The Gratuity Plan benefit cost for the year is calculated on an actuarial basis. The Company contributes the required funding for all ascertained liabilities to the Gratuity Plan. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust, and contributions are invested in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The Company’s overall investment strategy is to invest predominantly in fixed income funds managed by asset management companies and a small portion in equity funds. These funds further invest in debt securities such as money market instruments, government securities and public and private bonds. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, all of the plan assets were primarily invested in debt securities.

In accordance with Mexican law, the Company provides certain termination benefits (the “Mexican Plan”) to all of its Mexican employees based on the age, duration of service and salary of each eligible employee. The full-year benefit cost of the Mexican Plan is calculated on an actuarial basis.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries organized or operating in the Philippines and Japan have sponsored defined benefit retirement programs (respectively, the “Philippines Plan” and the “Japan Plan”). The full-year benefit costs of the Philippines Plan and the Japan Plan are calculated on an actuarial basis. Company contributions in respect of these plans are made to insurer-managed funds or to a trust. The trust contributions are further invested in government bonds.

In accordance with Israeli law, the Company provides certain termination benefits (the “Israeli Plan”) to all of its Israeli employees based on the age, duration of service and salary of each eligible employee. The full-year benefit cost of the Israeli Plan is calculated on an actuarial basis. The plan contributions are further invested into insurer managed funds.

Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the year to which they relate on a monthly basis. Actuarial gains or losses, or prior service costs, if any, resulting from amendments to the plans are recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the employees or over the average remaining life expectancies for inactive employees if most of the plan obligations are payable to inactive employees.

The following table sets forth the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit plans and the amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements based on actuarial valuations carried out as of December 31, 2023 and 2024.

The expected returns on plan assets set forth above are based on the Company’s expectation of the average long-term rate of return expected to prevail over the next 15 to 20 years on the types of investments prescribed by applicable statute.

The Company evaluates these assumptions based on projections of the Company’s long-term growth and prevalent industry standards. Unrecognized actuarial loss is amortized over the average remaining service period of the active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

Investment and risk management strategy

The overall investment objective of the Company’s defined benefit plans is to match the duration of the plans’ assets to the plans’ liabilities while managing risk in order to meet defined benefit obligations. The plans’ future prospects, their current financial conditions, our current funding levels and other relevant factors suggest that the plans can tolerate some interim fluctuations in market value and rates of return in order to achieve long-term objectives without undue risk to the plans’ ability to meet their current benefit obligations.

Plan investments are exposed to risks including market, interest rate and operating risk. In order to mitigate significant concentrations of these risks, the assets are invested in a diversified portfolio primarily consisting of fixed income instruments, liquid assets, equities and debt.

The fair values of the Company’s plan assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 by asset category are as follows:

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.

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 liability for the deferred compensation plan was $51,354 and $60,924 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company has purchased Company-owned life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain employees. The cash surrender value of these policies was $51,983 and $61,549 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the change in the fair value of Plan assets was $(7,580), $7,506 and $7,303, respectively, which is included in “other income (expense), net,” in the consolidated statements of income. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the change in the fair value of deferred compensation liabilities was $(7,610), $7,484 and $7,307, respectively, which is included in “selling, general and administrative expenses.”

  1. Stock-based compensation

The Company has granted stock-based awards under the Genpact Limited 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Omnibus Plan”) and the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Plan”) to eligible persons, including employees, directors and certain other persons associated with the Company.

A brief summary of each plan is provided below:

2007 Omnibus Plan

The Company adopted the 2007 Omnibus Plan on July 13, 2007 and amended and restated it on April 11, 2012. The 2007 Omnibus Plan provided for the grant of awards intended to qualify as incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share units, performance units, cash incentive awards and other equity-based or equity-related awards. Under the 2007 Omnibus Plan, the Company was authorized to grant awards for the issuance of up to a total of 23,858,823 common shares.

2017 Omnibus Plan

On May 9, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan, pursuant to which 15,000,000 Company common shares are available for issuance. The 2017 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 5, 2019 and April 5, 2022 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 8,000,000 shares to 23,000,000 shares and by 3,500,000 shares to 26,500,000 shares, respectively. No grants may be made under the 2007 Omnibus Plan after the date of adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan. Grants that were outstanding under the 2007 Omnibus Plan as of the date of the Company’s adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan, remain subject to the terms of the 2007 Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation costs relating to the foregoing plans during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 were $75,836, $87,108 and $65,318, respectively, and have been allocated to cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Income tax benefits recognized in relation to stock-based compensation costs, including options, restricted share units ("RSUs") and performance units ("PUs"), including excess tax benefits, during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 were $21,863, $19,312 and $8,997, respectively.

Stock options

All options granted under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans are exercisable into common shares of the Company, have a contractual period often years and vest over three tofive years unless otherwise specified in the applicable award agreement. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.

The compensation cost is determined at the date of grant by estimating the fair value of an option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The following table shows the significant assumptions used in connection with the determination of the fair value of options granted in 2022. No options were granted in 2023 and 2024.

Dividend yield0.96%
Expected life (in months)84
Risk-free rate of interest for expected life1.71%
Volatility26.29%

Volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price during a period equivalent to the estimated term of the option. The Company estimates the expected term of an option using the “simplified method,” which is based on the average of its contractual vesting term. The risk-free interest rate that the Company uses in the option valuation model is based on U.S. Treasury bonds with a term similar to the expected term of the options. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.125 per share in each quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company has issued, and intends to continue to issue, new common shares upon stock option exercises and the vesting of share awards under its equity-based incentive compensation plans.

Restricted Share Units

The Company has granted RSUs under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans. 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.

As of December 31, 2024, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to $44,488, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 1.7 years.

Performance Units

The Company also grants stock awards in the form of PUs, and has granted PUs under both the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans.

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 term.

For PUs granted prior to 2023, the fair value of each PU was the market price ofone common share of the Company on the date of grant and the performance period for such grants wasone year. 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 PUs granted annually beginning in 2023, the performance period increased tothree years fromone year. The number of PUs that will ultimately vest 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 are 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 in 2023 and 2024 to employees was estimated on the date of grant using the following valuation assumptions:

Year ended December 31, 2023 · Year ended December 31, 2024
Dividend yield1.22%—1.52%1.62%—1.81%
Expected life (years)2.54—2.802.38—2.80

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Genpact Limited U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Genpact Limited International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together, the “ESPP”). In April 2018, these plans were amended and restated, and their terms were extended to August 31, 2028.

  1. Capital stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 consisted of 500 million common shares with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 250 million preferred shares with a par value of $0.01 per share. There were 179,494,132 and 174,661,943 common shares, andno preferred shares, issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Holders of common shares are entitled toone vote per share. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, common shareholders are entitled to receive a ratable share of the available net assets of the Company after payment of all debts and other liabilities. The common shares have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

The Company’s board of directors by resolution can establish one or more series of preferred shares having such par value, designations, dividend rates, relative voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights, liquidation rights and other relative participation, optional or other rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be fixed by the board of directors without shareholder approval. Such rights, preferences, powers and limitations as may be established could also have the effect of discouraging an attempt to obtain control of the Company. These preferred shares are of the type commonly known as “blank-check” preferred shares.

Under Bermuda law, the Company may declare and pay dividends from time to time unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is or would, after the payment, be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or that the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities, its issued share capital, and its share premium accounts. Under the Company’s bye-laws, each common share is entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends are declared by the Company’s board of directors. There are no restrictions in Bermuda on the Company’s ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in or out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of common shares. The Company’s ability to declare and pay cash dividends is restricted by its debt covenants.

Share Repurchases

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has authorized repurchases of up to $2,250,000 under the Company’s existing share repurchase program, including $500,000 approved during the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares.

  1. 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.

  1. Earnings per share (Continued)

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 was 2,734,825,2,289,623 and 2,341,015 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed an intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property rights from certain non-US subsidiaries to certain wholly-owned US subsidiaries in an effort to better align with the Company's business operations. As a result of this transfer, the Company received a step-up in tax basis of the transferred intellectual property assets to their current fair market value under applicable tax law. The determination of fair value involves judgments with respect to future revenue growth, operating margins and discount rates. The step-up in basis will be amortizable against future taxable income and, accordingly, the Company recognized a one-time income tax benefit of $169,945. The Company expects to realize the deferred tax asset recorded as a result of the intellectual property transfer and will periodically assess such realizability. The tax-deductible amortization related to the transferred intellectual property rights will be recognized over a 15-year period.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible. In order to fully realize a deferred tax asset, the Company must generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax asset under applicable law.

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, carryback availability and projected taxable income in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods during which the Company’s deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its deductible temporary differences and carry forwards, net of the existing valuation allowances as of December 31, 2024. The amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Company recognized net excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $10,418, $5,274 and $114, respectively, in income tax expense attributable to continuing operations.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred tax assets related to federal net operating loss carryforwards of $426,289 amounted to $69,427 (excluding state and local operating loss carryforwards). Federal net operating loss carryforwards of subsidiaries in Bermuda, Germany, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Norway, the United States and Luxembourg (for 2016 and prior years) amounted to $332,038 and can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

The Company’s remaining federal operating loss carryforwards expire as set forth in the table below:

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s non-Bermuda subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not been recognized due to being indefinitely reinvested amounted to approximately $1,407,587 as of December 31, 2024. The Company plans to indefinitely reinvest the subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings, except for those earnings for which a deferred tax liability has already been accrued or which can be repatriated in a tax-free manner. Accordingly, with limited exceptions, the Company does not accrue any income, distribution or withholding taxes that would arise if such earnings were repatriated. Due to the Company’s changing corporate structure, the various methods that are available to repatriate earnings and uncertainty relative to the applicable taxes at the time of repatriation, it is not practicable to determine the amount of tax that would be imposed upon repatriation. If undistributed earnings are repatriated in the future, or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, the Company will accrue the applicable amount of taxes associated with such earnings at that time.

As of December 31, 2024, $636,176 of the Company’s $648,246 in cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company’s non-Bermuda subsidiaries. $186,771 of this cash is held by subsidiaries for which the Company expects to incur and has accrued a deferred tax liability on the repatriation of $117,501 of retained earnings. $248,804 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is held by subsidiaries in jurisdictions where no tax is expected to be imposed upon repatriation. The remaining $200,601 in cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries is being indefinitely reinvested.

The Company reports its gain/loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, actuarial gain/loss on retirement benefits and currency translation adjustment, net of income taxes to the extent applicable, in OCI.

The following table summarizes activities related to our unrecognized tax benefits from January 1 to December 31 for each of 2022, 2023 and 2024:

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $19,236 and $14,063, respectively, which, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company had accrued $3,312 and $3,141, respectively, in interest and $499 and $43, respectively, for penalties relating to income taxes.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Company recognized $(2,583), $220 and $(1,387), respectively, in interest expense (income) related to income taxes.

For all tax years that remain open to examinations by U.S. federal and various state, local, and other U.S. taxing authorities, the Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its unrecognized tax benefits for existing tax positions will vary. However, the Company does not expect significant changes within the next twelve months other than adjustments depending on the progress of tax matters or examinations with various taxing authorities, which are difficult to predict.

With certain immaterial exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or other U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2019. The Company’s subsidiaries in India and China are open to examination by relevant taxing authorities for tax years beginning on or after April 1, 2018 and January 1, 2015, respectively. The Company regularly reviews the likelihood of additional tax assessments and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits as additional information or events require.

  1. 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.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company renamed itsthree reportable segments as follows: (1) the Banking, Capital Markets and Insurance segment was renamed the Financial Services segment; (2) the Consumer Goods, Retail, Life Sciences and Healthcare segment was renamed the Consumer and Healthcare segment; and (3) the High Tech, Manufacturing and Services segment was renamed the High Tech and Manufacturing segment.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), is presented with operating segment revenue and operating segment adjusted income from operations ("AOI"). The CODM uses both revenue and AOI to review the monthly and quarterly performance of the Company's operating segments. The CODM uses AOI, which is gross margin and G&A expenditures, to assess capacity for investments in each segment, including sales capacity, delivery resources, offerings and solutions, or partnerships. The Company does not allocate, and therefore the CODM does not evaluate, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets (other than those included in income from operations), unallocated corporate expenses, foreign exchange gain/(losses), interest income/(expense), restructuring expenses/income, acquisition related expenses, any losses or gains from businesses held for sale, including impairment charges, other income/(expense), or income taxes by segment. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily represent the impact of certain under or over-absorption of overhead, and allowances for credit losses, which are not allocated to the Company’s segments for management’s internal reporting purposes. 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 liability information and capital expenditures by operating segment are not presented to the CODM and are not reviewed by the CODM.

With effect from January 1, 2023, the Company has modified the items that are allocated to the Company's reportable segments for the purpose of evaluating segment performance, and the Company now allocates by segment certain foreign exchange gains/(losses) (to the extent included in income from operations) and unallocated resource costs. Segment results after such allocation are reviewed by the CODM to evaluate segment performance. Prior to January 1, 2023, the CODM evaluated the performance of reportable segment revenue and adjusted income from operations after excluding these items, which were previously included under "unallocated corporate expenses." Accordingly, the Company has recast the segment revenue and adjusted income from operations of its reportable segments for the year ended December 31, 2022 to present comparable segment information.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting" (Topic 280), during the year ended December 31, 2024 and has provided the additional segment related information as required by ASU 2023-07 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the comparative periods. Accordingly, the Company has identified cost of revenue as the significant segment expense which is provided to the CODM on a regular basis. The Company has also provided information related to other segment items.

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 year ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 to present comparable information. See Note 24 for additional information.

Revenues, cost of revenue, other segment items and adjusted income from operations for each of the Company’s segments in the year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

(a) During the second quarter of 2022, the Company's management approved a plan to divest a business that comprised part of the Company's Consumer and Healthcare segment. The revenues and associated losses, including an impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022, attributable to this business have been excluded from the computation of adjusted income from operations 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.

(b) The Company does not allocate these charges to individual segments in internal management reports used by the CODM. Accordingly, such expenses are included in the Company's segment reporting as “unallocated costs.”

*Other segment items primarily includes selling, general and administrative expenses, other operating (income) expense, net and other income (expense), net. It excludes stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring (expense)/income and loss on the sale of business classified as held for sale.

  1. Net revenues

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 include advisory, implementation and execution work. 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 year ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 to present comparable 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 consolidated balance sheets. The revenues are recognized as (or when) the performance obligation is fulfilled pursuant to the contract with the customer.

The following table provides details of the Company’s contract balances:

As of December 31,
20232024
Contract assets (Note a)$33,370$48,980
Contract liabilities (Note b)
Deferred transition revenue$116,577$106,769

(a) Included in "prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets.

(b) Included in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in the Company’s contract asset and liability balances during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 were a result of normal business activity and not materially impacted by any other factors.

Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period was $160,024 and $112,896, respectively.

  1. Commitments and contingencies

Capital commitments

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company has committed to spend $15,982 and $25,309, respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of such purchases.

Bank guarantees

The Company has outstanding bank guarantees and letters of credit amounting to $10,963 and $10,014 as of December 31, 2023 and 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.

  1. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)

(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 $105,902, 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. In 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 then filed an appeal to the Delhi High Court challenging the decision of the Tribunal. In December 2024, the Delhi High Court dismissed the ITA's appeal of the Tribunal's order, upholding the Company’s position. Although the ITA can appeal to the Supreme Court of India, 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 December 31, 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.

  1. Restructuring

In 2022, the Company 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, the Company determined that certain leases and employee roles were no longer needed. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $38,815 restructuring charge relating to the abandonment of leased office premises and an employee severance charge during the year ended December 31, 2022. Of the total charge of $38,815, $21,684 was a non-cash charge (including $1,377 related to writing down certain property, plant and equipment) recorded asother operating expense, which pertains to the abandonment of various leased office premises. The Company has sought out one or more third parties to sublease certain office premises from the Company, wherever applicable, instead of abandoning them. However, the Company has not been successful in such attempts, and the Company believes it is unlikely that it will be able to sublease such premises in the foreseeable future. The Company also recorded a severance charge of $17,131, which was paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to a focused reduction in the Company's workforce.

In 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 2023. There wasno restructuring charge or income in 2024.

  1. Subsequent Events

The board of directors also declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2025 of $0.17 per common share, which will be paid on March 26, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2025. The declaration of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and subject to Bermuda and other applicable laws.

Pursuant to its share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 572,893 of its common shares on the open market between January 1, 2025 and March 3, 2025 at a weighted average price of $54.09 per share for an aggregate cash amount of $30,989.
