IMPACT OF THE INVASION OF UKRAINEOn February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine and its people and EPAM has called for an immediate end to this unlawful and unconscionable attack. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $74.9 million of Property and equipment, net in Ukraine consisting of a building classified as construction-in-progress located in Kyiv with a net book value of $50.4 million, laptops with a net book value of $15.3 million, most of which are in the possession of employees, various office furniture, equipment and supplies with a net book value of $8.5 million, and leasehold improvements located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $0.7 million. Additionally, the Company had Operating lease right-of-use assets located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $18.8 million as of March 31, 2022. Through the issuance date of these interim financial statements, the Company is not aware of any damage to its long-lived assets in Ukraine and the Company expects to continue to use these assets as part of its global delivery model.

On March 4, 2022, in addition to the Company’s donations, and the work of EPAM volunteers on the ground, the Company announced a $100.0 million humanitarian commitment to support its employees and their families in and displaced from Ukraine. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company expensed $25.7 million related to this commitment including special cash payments to support impacted employees, financial and medical support for impacted families, travel, meals and lodging expenses, and donations to third-party humanitarian organizations. Of this expensed amount, $19.2 million is classified in Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and $6.5 million is classified in Selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In response to the attacks on Ukraine, EPAM announced on March 4, 2022, it would discontinue services to customers located in Russia. Based on this change in facts and circumstances, the long-term cash flow forecast for the Company’s operations in Russia and its Russia reporting unit were significantly reduced. The reduction in the long-term cash flow forecasts indicated that the carrying amounts of goodwill and long-lived assets associated with the Company’s Russia reporting unit and operations in Russia may not be recoverable, and the carrying value of these assets was tested for impairment. The Company relied on the income approach to estimate the fair values of the Russia reporting unit and long-lived assets and considered multiple scenarios including the continuing operation and exit of operations in Russia. Reflecting the negative long-term cash flow forecasts associated with these assets that each of these scenarios produced, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairments of Property and equipment, net of $15.1 million, Operating lease right-of-use assets, net of $3.8 million, and Goodwill of $0.7 million. These asset impairment charges are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, the Company evaluated trade receivables and contract assets for estimated future credit losses from customers located in Russia and recorded a bad debt expense of $8.4 million, reflecting the deterioration of creditworthiness of its customers in Russia during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Furthermore, in response to the invasion, the Company began executing its business continuity plans focused on relocating employees residing in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia to other countries as well as assigning delivery personnel in locations outside of the region to serve in unbilled standby or backup capacity to ensure the continuity of delivery for its customers who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion. In addition to costs incurred as part of EPAM’s humanitarian commitment to Ukraine, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $18.7 million classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses related to its geographic repositioning efforts and $2.6 million classified as Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) related to these standby resources. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million classified as Other income/(expense) related to a financial asset in Ukraine which the Company believes is unrealizable due to the events in Ukraine.

Subsequent to March 31, 2022, upon revelations of the atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine, EPAM decided to exit its operations in Russia. The Company is currently exploring strategic alternatives for its assets in Russia, including the potential sale or liquidation of its holdings in Russia. The Company expects to complete the phased exit at or near the end of the second quarter of 2022. The Company expects it could incur additional significant charges in the second quarter of 2022 related to the exit of its operations in Russia including, but not limited to, restructuring costs and loss on sale.
