NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024
(In thousands, except per share amount and share count)

1. Organization
ExlService Holdings, Inc. (“ExlService Holdings”) is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. ExlService Holdings, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), is a leading data analytics and digital operations and solutions company. The Company partners with clients using a data and AI-led approach to reinvent business models, drive better business outcomes and unlock growth with speed. The Company harnesses the power of data, analytics, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and deep industry knowledge to transform operations for the world’s leading corporations in industries including insurance, healthcare, banking and financial services, media and retail, among others.
The Company’s clients are located principally in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Basis of Preparation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of such statements for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated statements of income for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any subsequent period.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ExlService Holdings and all of its subsidiaries. The standalone financial statements of subsidiaries are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Intra-group balances and transactions, and gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated while preparing consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s investments in equity affiliates are initially recorded at cost and any excess purchase consideration paid over proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets of the investee at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. The proportionate share of net income or loss of the investee after its acquisition is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income.

Accounting policies of the respective individual subsidiaries and equity affiliates are aligned wherever necessary, so as to ensure consistency with the accounting policies that are adopted by the Company under U.S. GAAP.
(b)Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment, actual results may be different from those estimates. The significant estimates that affect the unaudited consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration, purchase price allocation, including revenue projections and the discount rate applied within the discounted cash flow model for business acquisitions, credit risk of customers, the nature and

timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and variable consideration in a customer contract, expected recoverability from customers with contingent fee arrangements, estimated costs to complete fixed price contracts, assets and obligations related to employee benefit plans, deferred tax valuation allowances, income-tax uncertainties and other contingencies, valuation of derivative financial instruments and stock-based awards, and useful life of long-lived assets and other intangible assets. The significant assumptions underneath these estimates include, but are not limited to assumptions to calculate stock-based compensation expense, determine incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, determine lease term to calculate single operating lease cost, determine pattern of generation of economic benefits to calculate depreciation and amortization for long-lived assets and other intangible assets, and recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.
(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. For all entities, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor for SEC action, and plan accordingly for adoption.

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280”): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements on an annual and interim basis for all public entities by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets. The ASU also allows, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with U.S. GAAP, the disclosure of additional measures of segment profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU expands disclosures relating to the entity’s income tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and certain other disclosures related to income taxes. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). This ASU clarifies how to evaluate whether profits interest and similar awards given to employees and non-employees are within the scope of share-based payment arrangement under ASC 718. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This ASU contains amendments to the ASC that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

(d) Recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”): Common Control Arrangements. This ASU provides guidance in ASC Topic 842 that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases should be (i) amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease, and (ii) accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if and when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. When adopted in an interim period, it must be adopted from the beginning of the year that includes that interim period. The Company does not have any lease arrangements with entities under common control and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.
3. Segment and Geographical Information
The Company is a provider of data analytics and digital operations and solutions.
The Company manages and reports financial information through its four reportable segments: Insurance, Healthcare, Analytics and Emerging Business, which reflects how management reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. These business units develop client-specific solutions, build capabilities, maintain a unified go-to-market approach and are integrally responsible for service delivery, customer satisfaction, growth and profitability.
The CODM generally reviews financial information such as revenues, cost of revenues and gross profit, disaggregated by the operating segments to allocate an overall budget among the operating segments.
The Company does not allocate and therefore the CODM does not evaluate, certain operating expenses, interest expense or income taxes by segment. Many of the Company’s assets are shared by multiple operating segments. The Company manages these assets on a total Company basis, not by operating segment, and therefore asset information and capital expenditures by operating segment are not presented.
Revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for each of the reportable segments, are as follows:

On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into a master confirmation (the “Master Accelerated Share Repurchase Confirmation”) and a supplemental confirmation (together with the Master Accelerated Share Repurchase Confirmation, the “2024 ASR Agreement”), with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). Refer to Note 19 - Capital Structure to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded the initial delivery of shares in treasury stock at cost, which resulted in an immediate reduction of its outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The forward contracts indexed to the Company's own common stock met the criteria for equity classification, and prepayment of $25,000 was initially recorded in additional paid-in capital, which reflects the pending settlement of the 2024 ASR Agreement.

Had the 2024 ASR Agreement been settled as of March 31, 2024, determined based on the volume-weighted average price per share since its effective date, Citibank would have been required to deliver additional estimated shares to the Company. The effect of the potential share settlement under the 2024 ASR Agreement was excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company believes no impairment exists because the long-lived asset's future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated exceeds its carrying value; however, there can be no assurance that long-lived assets will not be impaired in future periods. Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which undiscounted cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount, the asset’s residual value, if any. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.

10. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The following table sets forth details of changes in goodwill by reportable segment of the Company:

Balance as of January 1, 2024$50,035 $21,872 $47,001 $286,731 $405,639

Balance as of March 31, 2024$50,010 $21,870 $46,963 $286,731 $405,574 
As of March 31, 2024, the Company performed an assessment to determine whether events or circumstances exist that may lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company considered current and forecasted economic and market conditions and qualitative factors, such as the Company’s performance during the three months ended March 31, 2024, business forecasts for the remainder of the year, stock price movements, generation and availability of cash and expansion plans. The Company reviewed key assumptions, including revisions of projected future revenues for reporting units against the results of the annual impairment test performed during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company did not identify any triggers or indications of potential impairment for its reporting units as of March 31, 2024.
The recoverability of goodwill is dependent upon the continued growth of cash flows from the Company’s business activities. This growth is based on business forecasts and improvement in profitability of its reporting units. The Company continues to maintain its focus on cultivating long-term client relationships as well as attracting new clients.

Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) consists of actuarial gain/(loss) on retirement benefits and foreign currency translation adjustments. In addition, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, as applicable, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Cumulative changes in the fair values of cash flow hedges are recognized in AOCI on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value changes are reclassified from AOCI to unaudited consolidated statements of income upon settlement of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of a forecast transaction, whereas such changes for interest rate swaps are reclassified over the term of the contract. Fair value changes related to net investment hedges are included in AOCI and are reclassified to unaudited consolidated statements of income when a foreign operation is disposed or partially disposed.

Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on independent sources including highly rated financial institutions and are classified as Level 2. Refer to Note 17 - Derivatives and Hedge Accounting to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration:

The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is determined using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s contingent consideration represents a component of the total purchase consideration for business acquisitions. The measurement is calculated using unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assessment of achievement of certain performance goals. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration based on the Monte Carlo simulation model and scenario-based method.

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of contingent consideration:

Opening balance$15,589 $18,689 
Fair value changes(589)—

Closing balance$— $18,689 
    
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value:

The Company’s other financial instruments not carried at fair value consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents (except investments in money market funds, as disclosed above), short-term investments (except investments in mutual funds, as disclosed above), restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, long-term investments, accrued capital expenditures, accrued expenses, client liabilities and interest payable on borrowings for which fair values approximate their carrying amounts. The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding revolving credit facility approximates its fair value because the Company’s interest rate yield is near current market rates for comparable debt instruments.

17. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate cash flow volatility from risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge cash flow risks from forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, and interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow risks from its revolving credit facility having variable interest rate obligations. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and are with counterparties that are highly rated financial institutions.

The following table sets forth the aggregate notional amount of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationship:
As of
March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Foreign currency forward contracts
U. S. dollar (USD)707,200 722,800 
U.K. pound sterling (GBP)1,100 — 
Interest rate swaps
USD75,000 75,000 
The Company estimates that approximately $1,765 of derivative gains, net, excluding tax effects, included in AOCI, representing changes in the value of cash flow hedges based on exchange rates prevailing as of March 31, 2024, could be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum outstanding term of the cash flow hedges was approximately 45 months.
The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its intercompany balances and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currencies, against the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to functional currency. These foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as fair value hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and are included in the foreign exchange gain/(loss) line item. The Company’s primary exchange rate exposure is with the Indian rupee (INR), the Philippine peso (PHP), the U.K. pound sterling (GBP) and South African rand (ZAR). The Company also has exposure to the Colombian peso (COP), the Euro (EUR), the Australian dollar (AUD), the Canadian dollar (CAD) and other local currencies in which it operates.

The following table sets forth the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
