Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

On February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine and its people and EPAM has repeatedly called for an immediate end to this unlawful and unconscionable attack. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $69.3 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 $51.5 million, laptops with a net book value of $10.5 million, most of which are in the possession of employees, various office furniture, equipment and supplies with a net book value of $5.6 million, and leasehold improvements located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $1.7 million. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, the Company had Operating lease right-of-use assets located throughout Ukraine with a net book value of $11.0 million. 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, the Company announced a $100.0 million humanitarian commitment to support its employees and their families in and displaced from Ukraine. This humanitarian commitment is in addition to donations from EPAM's customers and employees and the work of EPAM volunteers on the ground. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company expensed $6.1 million and $25.7 million, respectively, related to this commitment, which included 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 the expensed amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023, $2.5 million is classified in Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and $3.6 million is classified in Selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Of this expensed amount for the three months ended March 31, 2022, $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. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has $49.1 million remaining to be expensed under this humanitarian commitment.

The Company executed its business continuity plans following the invasion to assist relocating employees residing in Ukraine and the surrounding region impacted by the war and geopolitical uncertainty to other countries and to assign delivery personnel in locations outside of the region to serve in unbilled standby or backup capacities to ensure the continuity of delivery for its customers who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns resulting from the invasion and ongoing war. In addition to costs incurred as part of EPAM’s humanitarian commitment to Ukraine, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $0.2 million related to its geographic repositioning efforts, classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses and $7.4 million related to these standby resources, classified as Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $18.7 million related to its geographic repositioning efforts, classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses and $2.6 million related to these standby resources, classified as Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 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 believed to be unrealizable due to the events in Ukraine.

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 that each of these scenarios produced for these assets, 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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. The Company recorded a benefit to bad debt expense of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, reflecting better than previously expected credit collections from customers located in Russia. Bad debt expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

On April 7, 2023, the Company amended and restated the agreement to sell substantially all of its remaining holdings in Russia to a third party. The timing and completion of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals by the Russian and U.S. governments. Subsequent to March 31, 2023 and prior to the issuance of these interim financial statements, the required approvals from the Russian government were received to proceed with the sale. Due to the significant uncertainty of obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals as of March 31, 2023, the Company does not believe a sale was probable to be completed as of March 31, 2023 and has not reported the assets and liabilities to be sold as held for sale in its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had the following assets and liabilities in Russia:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	26,696
Trade receivables and contract assets, net of allowance of $4,724	4,329
Prepaid and other current assets	242
Total assets in Russia	$	31,267
Accounts payable	$	65
Accrued compensation and benefits expenses	5,508
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	1,127
Operating lease liabilities	122
Other noncurrent liabilities	71
Total liabilities in Russia	$	6,893

As of March 31, 2023, based on the Company’s expected net proceeds from sale and recognition of the accumulated currency translation loss currently included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, the Company expects to record a loss upon the earlier of classification of the assets and liabilities to be sold as held for sale or closing of a sale. Such loss is not expected to be material based on the information available through the date of issuance of these financial statements.Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could impact the gain or loss the Company could recognize in the future. If unable to complete a sale, the Company could recognize other charges including restructuring costs.
