NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)


1.	BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “EPAM”) is a leading global provider of digital platform engineering and software development services to customers located around the world, primarily in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The Company’s industry expertise includes financial services, travel and consumer, software and hi-tech, business information and media, life sciences and healthcare, as well as other industries in which it is continuously growing. The Company is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Newtown, PA.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EPAM have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of EPAM Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries with all intercompany balances and transactions eliminated.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire year. In management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Unless otherwise discussed below, the adoption of new accounting standards did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows.

Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). The standard supersedes previously existing lease guidance (“Topic 840”) and requires entities to recognize all leases, with the exception of leases with a term of twelve months or less, on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets (“RoU Assets”) and lease liabilities. The guidance also changes disclosure requirements with a focus on providing information that will enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted Topic 842, effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition approach, which allows the Company to apply the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparable periods and carry forward disclosures under previously existing guidance for those periods presented within the Company’s financial statements.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company performs an assessment and classifies the lease as either an operating lease or a financing lease at the lease commencement date with a right-of-use asset and a lease liability recognized in the statement of financial position under both classifications. The Company does not have finance leases that are material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The present value is determined by applying the readily determinable rate implicit in the lease or, if not available, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee on a lease-by-lease basis by developing an estimated centralized U.S. dollar borrowing rate for a fully collateralized obligation with a term similar to the lease term, and adjusts the rate to reflect the incremental risk associated with the currency in which the lease is denominated. Lease agreements of the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease and the Company includes such options in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. RoU Assets are recognized based on the initial measurement of the lease liabilities plus initial direct costs less lease incentives and RoU Assets are subject to periodic impairment tests. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Table of Contents

The Company elected a practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of lease assets with an original term of twelve months or less. As part of the transition, the Company elected a package of practical expedients allowing it to carry forward historical accounting for any expired or existing contracts that are or contain lease contracts, including classification of such contracts and initial direct costs associated with them.

The adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of RoU Assets for operating leases of $177,597 and operating lease liabilities of $173,863 . The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity or the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

See Note 6 “Leases” in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for additional information regarding leases.

Pending Accounting Standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that the Company will adopt according to the various timetables the FASB specifies. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company believes the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments — Effective January 1, 2020, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of FASB ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , (with early adoption permitted effective January 1, 2019.) The amendments in this update change how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The new expected credit loss model will require companies to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets (including trade receivables) that are in the scope of the update. The update also made amendments to the current impairment model for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities and certain guarantees. Entities are required to adopt the standard using a modified-retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt the standard on January 1, 2020.


2.	ACQUISITIONS

Continuum — On March 15, 2018 , the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Continuum Innovation LLC together with its subsidiaries (“Continuum”) to enhance the Company’s consulting capabilities as well as its digital and service design practices.

During the first quarter of 2019, there were no adjustments recorded related to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company finalized the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Continuum. The Company adjusted initially recognized intangible assets and their useful lives as well as recognized an additional intangible asset in the form of a favorable lease and removed a noncurrent liability associated with an initially recognized unfavorable lease. The Company also finalized a working capital adjustment that resulted in cash collection in the amount of $76 reducing the original amount of the net assets acquired. These adjustments and a revaluation of contingent consideration resulted in a corresponding decrease to the originally recognized value of acquired goodwill.

For Think, estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed remain provisional and based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocations as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

As of March 31, 2019 , the following table presents the estimated fair values and useful lives of intangible assets acquired from Continuum and Think:



	Continuum			Think
	Weighted Average Useful Life (in years)	Amount		Weighted Average Useful Life (in years)	Amount
Customer relationships	6.5	$	5,800	7	$	6,117
Favorable lease	11.2	5,500		—	—
Contract royalties	8	1,900		—	—
Trade names	5	1,250		5	765
Total		$	14,450		$	6,882

In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, effective January 1, 2019, the Company reclassified the favorable lease intangible asset to Operating lease right-of-use assets.

The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisitions is attributable primarily to strategic and synergistic opportunities related to the consulting and design businesses, the assembled workforces acquired and other factors. The goodwill acquired as a result of the Continuum acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes while the goodwill acquired as a result of the Think acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

Revenues generated by Continuum and Think totaled $6,754 and $3,832 , respectively during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the Continuum and Think acquisition on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements was not material individually or in the aggregate.

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis on its consolidated balance sheets. The following tables present the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The Level 2 foreign exchange derivatives are valued using pricing models and discounted cash flow methodologies based on observable foreign exchange data at the measurement date. See Note 5 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2019 , contingent consideration included amounts payable in cash in connection with the acquisitions of Continuum and Think (Note 2 “Acquisitions”). The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the Company considered a variety of factors, including future performance of the acquired businesses using financial projections developed by the Company and market risk assumptions that were derived for revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxes. The Company estimated future payments using the earnout formulas and performance targets specified in the purchase agreements and adjusted those estimates to reflect the probability of their achievement. Those estimated future payments were then discounted to present value using a rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital of guideline companies. Although there is significant judgment involved, the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable. Changes in financial projections, market risk assumptions, discount rates or probability assumptions related to achieving the various earnout criteria would result in a change in the fair value of the recorded contingent liabilities. Such changes, if any, are recorded within Interest and other income, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of acquisition-related contractual contingent liabilities using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is as follows:



	Amount
Contractual contingent liabilities as of January 1, 2019	$	7,468
Effect of net foreign currency exchange rate changes	157
Contractual contingent liabilities at March 31, 2019	$	7,625

Estimates of fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are generally subjective in nature, and are determined as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and relevant market information. The Company uses the following methods to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments:


•	for financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quoted prices are used to estimate fair value;


•	for financial instruments for which no quoted market prices are available, fair value is estimated using information obtained from independent third parties, or by discounting the expected cash flows using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial instrument;


•	for financial instruments for which no quoted market prices are available and that have no defined maturity, have a remaining maturity of 360 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market rate, the Company assumes that the fair value of these instruments approximates their reported value, after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk.

The generally short duration of certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities results in a significant number of assets and liabilities for which fair value equals or closely approximates the amount recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows:


•	cash and cash equivalents;


•	restricted cash and time deposits;


•	employee loans;


•	long-term debt (Note 7 “Long-Term Debt”).

The housing loans are measured using the Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement because they are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of employee housing loans is estimated using information on the rates of return that market participants in Belarus would require when investing in unsecured U.S. dollar-denominated government bonds with similar maturities (a “risk-free rate”), after taking into consideration any applicable credit and liquidity risk.

5.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has a hedging program whereby it enters into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Russian ruble, Polish zloty and Indian rupee transactions. As of March 31, 2019 , all of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts were designated as hedges and there is no financial collateral (including cash collateral) required to be posted by the Company related to the foreign exchange forward contracts.

The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:



		As of March 31, 2019				As of December 31, 2018
	Balance Sheet Classification	Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives		Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Foreign exchange forward contracts - Designated as hedging instruments	Prepaid and other current assets	$	1,067			$	181
	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities			$	362			$	3,475

The Company records changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction occurs, the Company reclassifies the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge into income. If the Company does not elect hedge accounting, or the contract does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair value from period to period are recorded in income.

6. LEASES

The Company leases office space, corporate apartments, office equipment, and vehicles. The Company leases office space in order to minimize risks associated with ownership such as fluctuations in real estate prices. The leasing of corporate apartments is used to minimize costs associated with business trips of Company personnel. Many of the Company’s leases contain charges for common area maintenance or other miscellaneous expenses that are variable. Due to this variability, the cash flows associated with these charges are not included in the minimum lease payments used in determining the RoU Assets and associated lease liabilities. The Company subleases a portion of its office space to third parties. The Company leases office equipment for those assets requiring extensive customer support including maintenance, repairs and replacement of obsolete parts. The Company leases vehicles in certain locations primarily as an employee benefit.

The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 9 days to 11.8 years . Certain lease agreements, mainly for office space, include options to extend or terminate the lease before the expiration date. The Company considers such options when determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

A portion of the leases for office space are subject to annual changes in base rent rates. Changes in such rates are treated as variable lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the obligation of such payments is incurred. The Company does not remeasure its lease liabilities as a result of these annual changes in base rent rates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the components of lease expense were as follows:



	Income Statement Classification	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Operating lease cost	Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	13,719
Variable lease cost	Selling, general and administrative expenses	2,097
Short-term lease cost	Selling, general and administrative expenses	898
Sublease income	Interest and other income, net	(455		)
Total lease cost		$	16,259

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had committed to payments of $57,716 related to operating lease agreements that had not yet commenced. These operating leases will commence during various dates during 2019 through 2020 with lease terms ranging from 1.3 to 12.0 years . The Company did not have any material finance lease agreements that had not yet commenced.


7.	LONG-TERM DEBT

Revolving Line of Credit — On May 24, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”), as may be amended from time to time, with PNC Bank, National Association; PNC Capital Markets LLC; Citibank N.A.; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association; Fifth Third Bank and Santander Bank, N.A. (collectively the “Lenders”). The 2017 Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $300,000 , with potential to increase the credit facility up to $400,000 if certain conditions are met. The 2017 Credit Facility matures on May 24, 2022 .

Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility may be denominated in U.S. dollars or up to a maximum of $100,000 equivalent in British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, euros or Swiss francs and other currencies as may be approved by the administrative agent and the Lenders. Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate or Euro-rate plus a margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The base rate is equal to the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 0.5% , (b) the Prime Rate, and (c) the Daily LIBOR Rate, plus 1.0% . As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s outstanding borrowings are subject to a LIBOR-based interest rate which resets regularly at issuance, based on lending terms.

The 2017 Credit Facility includes customary business and financial covenants that may restrict the Company’s ability to make or pay dividends (other than certain intercompany dividends) if a potential or an actual event of default has occurred or would be triggered. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the 2017 Credit Facility.

Contract liabilities included in Other noncurrent liabilities	$	146	$	224

Contract assets included in unbilled revenues are recorded when services have been provided but the Company does not have an unconditional right to receive consideration. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the contract carrying amount is greater than the remaining consideration receivable, less directly related costs to be incurred. Contract assets have increased from December 31, 2018 primarily due to new contracts entered into in 2019 where the Company’s right to bill is contingent upon achievement of contractual milestones.

Contract liabilities comprise amounts collected from the Company’s customers for revenues not yet earned. Such amounts are anticipated to be recorded as revenues when services are performed in subsequent periods. Contract liabilities have increased from December 31, 2018 primarily due to the seasonal increase in customer prepayments during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recognized $3,051 of revenues that were included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2018.


9.	INCOME TAXES

In determining its interim provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual profit before tax, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

The Company’s worldwide effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 5.4% and (34.5)% , respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rates benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $11,513 and $4,690 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The interim benefit from income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was favorably impacted by the recognition of $24,634 of net deferred tax assets resulting from the Company’s decision to change the tax status and to classify most of its foreign subsidiaries as disregarded for U.S. income tax purposes. This was partially offset by a provisional $2,157 increase in income taxes payable associated with the one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Act”).


10.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested equity-settled RSUs. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Net income	$	60,754	$	64,418
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	60,754	$	64,418

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share	54,245,133		53,078,529
Net effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards	2,991,294		3,162,010
Weighted average common shares for diluted earnings per share	57,236,427		56,240,539

Net income per share:
Basic	$	1.12	$	1.21
Diluted	$	1.06	$	1.15

The number of shares underlying equity–based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti–dilutive was 26,203 and 53,230 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


11.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnification Obligations — In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These obligations typically arise in contracts where the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants for certain matters such as title to assets, intellectual property rights and data privacy matters associated with certain arrangements. The duration of these indemnifications varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite.

The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances of each agreement and the fact that certain indemnifications provide for no limitation to the maximum potential future payments under the indemnification. Management is not aware of any such matters that would have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Litigation — From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. In the opinion of management, the outcome of any existing claims and legal or regulatory proceedings, if decided adversely, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

The liability associated with the service-based liability-classified RSUs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , was $9,673 and $9,920 , respectively, and was classified as Deferred compensation due to employees in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Performance-Based Awards

The table below summarizes activity related to the Company’s equity-classified performance-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2019 .



	Equity-Classified Equity-Settled Restricted Stock Units

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company and holders of the unvested performance-based equity-classified RSUs mutually agreed to cancel the performance-based RSU awards and the Company issued service-based stock option and RSU awards with four-year vesting terms to those same recipients. As of March 31, 2019 , there is no remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to performance-based equity-classified RSUs.


13.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines its business segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes the segments to evaluate performance, allocate resources and make business decisions. Segment results are based on the segment’s revenues and operating profit, where segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to specific segments as these expenses are not controllable at the segment level. Such expenses include certain types of professional fees, non-corporate taxes, compensation to non-employee directors and certain other general and administrative expenses, including compensation of specific groups of non-production employees. In addition, the Company does not allocate amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs and certain other one-time charges. These unallocated amounts are combined with total segment operating profit to arrive at consolidated income from operations as reported below in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to consolidated income before provision for/(benefit from) income taxes. Additionally, management has determined that it is not practical to allocate identifiable assets by segment since such assets are used interchangeably among the segments.

The Company manages its business primarily based on the managerial responsibility for its client base and market. As managerial responsibility for a particular customer relationship generally correlates with the customer’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between customer locations and the geographic boundaries of the Company’s reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular customer is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between customer executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the customer’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.

Table of Contents

Revenues from external customers and operating profit, before unallocated expenses, by reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Segment revenues:
North America	$	310,689	$	231,196
Europe	194,223		173,343
Russia	16,580		19,786
Total segment revenues	$	521,492	$	424,325
Segment operating profit:
North America	$	64,457	$	43,960
Europe	31,785		28,890
Russia	589		5,347
Total segment operating profit	$	96,831	$	78,197

Intersegment transactions were excluded from the above on the basis that they are neither included in the measure of a segment’s profit and loss results, nor considered by the CODM during the review of segment results.

There were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of total segment revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues are generally dispersed across the Company’s customers in proportion to their revenues. There were no customers individually exceeding 10% of total unbilled revenues as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . There were no customers individually exceeding 10% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Summary of Results of Operations

The following table presents a summary of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 :

Table of Contents

The key highlights of our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 , were as follows:

•

Revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $521.3 million , or a 22.9% increase from $424.1 million reported in the same period last year. The first quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by $14.2 million or 3.4% due to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the corresponding period last year. Acquisitions completed during 2018, Continuum and Think, contributed $6.8 million and $3.8 million of revenues, respectively, to the total revenues for the first quarter of 2019.

•

Income from operations grew 32.8% to $64.7 million from $48.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, income from operations for the first quarter of 2019 was 12.4% compared to 11.5% in the first quarter last year. The increase as a percentage of revenues was primarily driven by an improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues partially offset by an increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues as compared to the same period last year.

•

Our effective tax rate was 5.4% in the first three months of 2019 compared to (34.5)% in the corresponding period last year. The interim benefit from income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was favorably impacted by the recognition of $24.6 million of net deferred tax assets resulting from the Company’s decision to change the tax status and to classify most of its foreign subsidiaries as disregarded for U.S. income tax purposes.

•

Net income decreased 5.7% to $60.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $64.4 million reported in the corresponding period last year. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, net income was 11.7% , a decrease of 3.5% compared to 15.2% reported in the corresponding period of 2018 . This trend is largely driven by the lower effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2018 partially offset by the improvement in income from operations as a percentage of revenues.


•	Diluted earnings per share was $1.06 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , a decrease of $0.09 compared to the corresponding period last year.


•	Cash used in operating activities was $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.3 million in the corresponding period last year.

The operating results in any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a recurring basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, goodwill and right-of-use assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and stock-based compensation. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. In addition, our reported financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.

Other than as discussed below, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Leases — The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company performs an assessment and classifies the lease as either an operating lease or a financing lease at the lease commencement date with a right-of-use asset (“RoU Assets”) and a lease liability recognized in the statement of financial position under both classifications.

Table of Contents

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The present value is determined by applying the readily determinable rate implicit in the lease or, if not available, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee on a lease-by-lease basis by developing an estimated centralized U.S. dollar borrowing rate for a fully collateralized obligation with a term similar to the lease term, and adjusts the rate to reflect the incremental risk associated with the currency in which the lease is denominated. Lease agreements of the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company includes such options into the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. RoU Assets are recognized based on the initial measurement of the lease liabilities plus initial direct costs less lease incentives. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. RoU Assets are subject to periodic impairment tests.

The Company has elected a practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of lease assets.

Consolidated Results Review

Revenues

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , our total revenues grew 22.9% over the corresponding period in 2018 to $521.3 million . This growth results from our ability to retain existing customers and increase the level of services we provide to them and our ability to produce revenues from new customer relationships. Continuous diversification of our client portfolio is demonstrated by revenues from our top five, top ten and top twenty customers decreasing as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period last year. Revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period last year have been positively impacted from the acquisitions of Continuum and Think, which contributed 2.1% to our revenue growth, and negatively impacted by the fluctuations in foreign currency, which reduced our revenue growth by 3.4% .

Revenues by customer location for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

(1)	CIS includes revenues from customers in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine.


(2)	APAC, which stands for Asia Pacific, includes revenues from customers in Southeast Asia and Australia.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the United States continued to be our largest customer location with revenues of $299.7 million compared to $223.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, driving 34.0% growth in revenues in the North American geography. Revenues in the North American geography were negatively impacted by the reassignment of a certain customer’s revenues to the European geography as a result of a change in location where we serve that customer, along with a change in managerial responsibility for the customer relationship. Without this reassignment, revenue growth in North America would have been 37.0%.

The top three revenue contributing customer location countries in Europe were the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany, contributing $65.7 million , $36.2 million and $19.2 million , respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . Revenues from customers in these three countries were $51.7 million , $35.6 million , and $19.5 million , respectively, in the corresponding period last year. Revenues in the European geography were negatively impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates with the U.S. dollar, particularly the euro and the British pound, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year. Revenues in the European geography benefited from the reassignment of a certain customer’s revenues from North America as a result of a change in location where we serve that customer along with a change in managerial responsibility for the customer relationship. Without this reassignment, revenue growth in Europe would have been 5.9% rather than 13.3%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , revenues in the CIS geography included $15.9 million from customers in Russia, a decrease of $3.5 million over the corresponding period of 2018. The revenues in the CIS geography were adversely impacted by the timing of revenue recognition associated with the execution of contracts and were negatively affected by currency fluctuations, primarily Russian rubles, contributing a 12.5% decline to the year-over-year decrease of reported revenues in this geography in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period last year.

During the first quarter of 2019 , revenues from the customers in the APAC region increased by $3.2 million , or 32.1% , over the corresponding period of 2018 .

Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)

The principal components of our cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) are salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation expense, project-related travel costs and fees for subcontractors who are assigned to customer projects. Salaries and other compensation expenses of our revenue generating professionals are reported as cost of revenues regardless of whether the employees are actually performing customer services during a given period. Our employees are a critical asset, necessary for our continued success and therefore we expect to continue hiring talented employees and providing them with competitive compensation programs.

We manage the utilization levels of our professionals through strategic hiring and efficient staffing of projects. Some of our IT professionals are hired and trained to work for specific customers or on specific projects and some of our offshore development centers are dedicated to specific customers or projects. Our staff utilization also depends on the general economy and its effect on our customers and their business decisions regarding the use of our services.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $344.7 million representing an increase of 24.2% from $277.6 million in the corresponding period of 2018 . The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs largely driven by the 17.0% growth in the average number of production headcount during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 partially offset by a 4.7% favorable impact from changing foreign currency exchange rates.

Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was 66.1% and 65.5% in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to an incremental $5.1 million of expense associated with the mark-to-market for cash-settled RSUs granted to our revenue generating personnel driven by the increase in our stock price.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses represent expenses associated with promoting and selling our services and general and administrative functions of our business. These expenses include the costs of salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits, stock-based compensation expense, severance, travel, legal and audit services, insurance, operating leases including lease exit costs, advertising and other promotional activities. In addition, we pay a membership fee of 1% of revenues generated in Belarus to the administrative organization of the Belarus High-Technologies Park. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute terms as our business expands but generally to remain steady as a percentage of our revenues in the foreseeable future.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , selling, general and administrative expenses were $101.8 million representing an increase of 13.5% as compared to $89.6 million in the corresponding period of 2018 . The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a $9.3 million increase in personnel-related costs including stock-based compensation, talent acquisition and development expenses and a $5.3 million increase in facilities and infrastructure related expenses to support our growth.

Expressed as a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.6% to 19.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period from the prior year primarily due to the slower growth in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the growth in revenues in the period.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , depreciation and amortization expense was $10.2 million as compared to $8.2 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily the result of increased investment in computer equipment used by our employees and amortization of acquired intangible assets, all of which have finite useful lives. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 .

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net includes interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and employee housing loans, gains and losses from certain financial instruments, interest expense related to our revolving credit facility and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. There were no material changes in interest and other income, net during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.

Provision for/(Benefit from) Income Taxes

Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and any potential related valuation allowances involves judgment. We consider factors that may contribute, favorably or unfavorably, to the overall annual effective tax rate in the current year as well as the future. These factors include statutory tax rates and tax law changes in the countries where we operate and excess tax benefits upon vesting or exercise of equity awards as well as consideration of any significant or unusual items.

As a global company, we are required to calculate and provide for income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate was 5.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , and (34.5)% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

Our effective tax rates benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $11,513 and $4,690 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively

The interim benefit from income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was favorably impacted by the recognition of $24,634 of net deferred tax assets resulting from the Company’s decision to change the tax status and to classify most of our foreign subsidiaries as disregarded for U.S. income tax purposes. This was partially offset by a provisional $2,157 increase in income taxes payable associated with the one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Act”).

Foreign Exchange Loss

For discussion of the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Results by Business Segment

Our operations consist of three reportable segments: North America, Europe, and Russia. The segments represent components of EPAM for which separate financial information is available and used on a regular basis by our chief executive officer, who is also our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), to determine how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. Our CODM makes business decisions based on segment revenues and operating profit. Segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Such expenses include certain types of professional fees, non-corporate taxes, compensation to non-employee directors and certain other general and administrative expenses, including compensation of specific groups of non-production employees. In addition, the Company does not allocate amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs and certain other one-time charges. These unallocated amounts are combined with total segment operating profit to arrive at consolidated income from operations.

We manage our business primarily based on the managerial responsibility for its client base and market. As managerial responsibility for a particular customer relationship generally correlates with the customer’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between customer locations and the geographic boundaries of our reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular customer is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between customer executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the customer’s activity would be reported through the management team’s reportable segment.

North America Segment

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , revenues for the North America segment increased $79.5 million , or 34.4% , compared to the same period last year and segment operating profits increased $20.5 million , or 46.6% , compared to the same period last year. Revenues were negatively impacted by the reassignment of a certain customer to the Europe segment from the North America segment as a result of a change in managerial responsibility. Without this reassignment, North America segment growth would have been 39.3%. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , revenues from our North America segment were 59.6% of total segment revenues, an increase from 54.5% reported in the corresponding period of 2018 .

The following table presents North America segment revenues by industry vertical for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2019		2018		Dollars		Percentage
Industry Vertical	(in thousands, except percentages)
Software & Hi-Tech	$	79,121	$	60,564	$	18,557	30.6	%

Revenues	$	310,689	$	231,196	$	79,493	34.4	%

Software & Hi-Tech remained the largest industry vertical in the North America segment during the first quarter of 2019. It grew 30.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to the corresponding periods from the prior year, which was a result of the continued focus on working with our technology customers. The revenues from the Life Sciences & Healthcare, Financial Services and Emerging V erticals each grew in excess of 45% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The revenues from Business Information & Media grew 8.8% as compared to the corresponding period from the prior year and were adversely impacted by the reassignment of a certain customer to the Europe segment. Without this reassignment, the Business Information & Media vertical would have grown 28.6%.

The North America segment’s operating profit margin increased to 20.7% during the first quarter of 2018 from 19.0% in the first quarter of 2018 . This increase reflects the impact from depreciation of foreign currencies in which our global delivery centers operate.

Europe Segment

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , Europe’s segment revenues were $194.2 million , representing an increase of $20.9 million , or 12.0% , from the same period last year. Revenues were negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the first quarter of 2019. Had our Europe segment revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2018, we would have reported revenue growth of 17.8%. Revenues benefited from the reassignment of a certain customer to the Europe segment from the North America segment as a result of a change in managerial responsibility. Without this reassignment, Europe segment growth would have been 5.5%. Europe’s segment revenues accounted for 37.2% and 40.9% of total segment revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table presents Europe segment revenues by industry vertical for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2019		2018		Dollars			Percentage
Industry Vertical	(in thousands, except percentages)
Financial Services	$	61,988	$	65,818	$	(3,830	)	(5.8	)%

Revenues	$	194,223	$	173,343	$	20,880		12.0	%

The Europe segment benefited from strong growth of the Business Information & Media vertical of 72.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to corresponding periods of 2018. This is primarily due to the reassignment of a certain customer to the Europe segment from the North America segment as a result of a change in managerial responsibility. Without this reassignment, Business Information & Media growth would have been 12.0% . Financial Services remained the largest industry vertical in the Europe segment during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . Revenues in Financial Services decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to depreciation of the euro and British pound. During the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, the segment’s operating profit increased $2.9 million , or 10.0% , to $31.8 million .

Russia Segment

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , revenues from our Russia segment accounted for 3.2% of total segment revenues, and segment revenues decreased $3.2 million , or 16.2% , as compared to the corresponding period last year. Russia segment revenues were adversely impacted by the timing of revenue recognition associated with the execution of contracts.

The following table presents Russia segment revenues by industry vertical for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2019		2018		Dollars			Percentage

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , operating profit of the Russia segment was $0.6 million , representing a decrease of $4.8 million , or 89.0% , as compared to the corresponding period last year. Currency fluctuations of the Russian ruble typically impact the results in the Russia segment. Ongoing economic and geo-political uncertainty in the region and the volatility of the Russian ruble can significantly impact reported revenues and operating profits in this geography. We continue to monitor geo-political forces, economic and trade sanctions, and other issues involving this region.

Effects of Inflation

Economies in some countries where we operate, particularly Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and India have periodically experienced high rates of inflation. Periods of higher inflation may affect various economic sectors in those countries and increase our cost of doing business there. Inflation may increase some of our expenses such as wages. While inflation may impact our results of operations and financial condition and it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation, we believe the effects of inflation on our results of operations and financial condition are not significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our cash generated from operations has been our primary source of liquidity to fund operations and investments to support the growth of our business. As of March 31, 2019 , our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $762.5 million and $274.6 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

We have cash in banks in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Uzbekistan, where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability, banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets, and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. As of March 31, 2019 , the total amount of cash held in these countries was $205.4 million and of this amount, $147.8 million was located in Belarus.

As of March 31, 2019 , we had $274.6 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility and our outstanding debt of $25.0 million represents the minimal required borrowing to keep the credit facility active. As of March 31, 2019 , we were in compliance with all covenants specified under the credit facility and anticipate being in compliance for the foreseeable future. See Note 7 “Long-Term Debt” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” for information regarding our long-term debt.

Our ability to expand and grow our business in accordance with current plans and to meet our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which our cash flows increase or decrease and the availability of public and private debt and equity financing. We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain another credit facility.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.2 million compared to $7.3 million provided by operating activities in the corresponding period of 2018 . Cash flows from operating activities in the first quarter are impacted by annual payments of variable compensation related to the prior performance year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $18.6 million compared to $60.2 million used in the same period in 2018 . During the first three months of 2019 , the cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to capital expenditures, which increased by $2.7 million compared to the same period last year. During the first three months of 2018, cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the $50.3 million acquisition of Continuum.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.2 million in the first three months of 2019 compared to $4.0 million in the same period of 2018 . During the first three months of 2019 , net cash received from the exercises of stock options issued under our long-term incentive plans was $11.4 million , an increase of $3.8 million from the $7.6 million received during the same period last year.

Contractual Obligations and Future Capital Requirements

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents combined with our expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months and that we possess the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives, including the ability to make acquisitions and strategic investments in the foreseeable future. However, our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flow are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing stockholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations disclosed in “Part II. Item 7. Contractual Obligations and Future Capital Requirements” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We do not have any material obligations under guarantee contracts or other contractual arrangements other than as disclosed in Note 7 “Long-Term Debt” and Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).” We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities where we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains estimates and forward-looking statements, principally in “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Our estimates and forward-looking statements are mainly based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business and operations. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Important factors, in addition to the factors described in this quarterly report, may materially and adversely affect our results as indicated in forward-looking statements. You should read this quarterly report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits hereto completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “might,” “would,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology and similar words are intended to identify estimates and forward-looking statements. Estimates and forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, to revise or to review any estimate and/or forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors. Estimates and forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. As a result of the risks and uncertainties described above, the estimates and forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report might not occur and our future results, level of activity, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to, including, but not limited to, the factors mentioned above, and the differences may be material and adverse. Because of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily result from changes in concentration of credit risks, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.

Concentration of Credit and Other Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and unbilled revenues.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions. We believe that our credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk and we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. We have cash in banks in countries such as Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Uzbekistan, where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability, banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets, and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. As of March 31, 2019 , $205.4 million of total cash was kept in banks in these countries, of which $147.8 million was held in Belarus. In this region, and particularly in Belarus, a banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold our funds, may result in the loss of our deposits or adversely affect our ability to complete banking transactions in the region, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Cash in this region is used for short-term operational needs and cash balances in those banks move with the needs of those entities.

Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues are generally dispersed across many customers operating in different industries; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited. There were no customers individually exceeding 10% of our accounts receivable, unbilled revenues or total revenues as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk is influenced by the changes in interest rates on our cash and cash equivalent deposits and paid on any outstanding balance on our borrowings, mainly under our 2017 Credit Facility, which is subject to a variety of rates depending on the type and timing of funds borrowed. We do not believe we are exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates related to these deposits and borrowings.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our global operations are conducted predominantly in U.S. dollars. Other than U.S. dollars, we generate revenues principally in euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and Russian rubles. Other than U.S. dollars, we incur expenditures principally in Russian rubles, Hungarian forints, Polish zlotys, British pounds, Swiss francs, euros, Indian rupees and Chinese yuan renminbi. As a result, currency fluctuations, specifically the depreciation of the euro, British pound, and Canadian dollar and the appreciation of Russian rubles, Hungarian forints, Polish zlotys, Chinese yuan renminbi and Indian rupees relative to the U.S. dollar, could negatively impact our results of operations.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 , foreign exchange loss was $3.5 million compared to a loss of $0.2 million reported in the corresponding period last year.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 , approximately 33.0% of consolidated revenues and 45.0% of consolidated operating expenses were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

To manage the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated operating expenses in the normal course of business, we implemented a hedging program through which we enter into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts with durations of twelve months or less that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted Russian ruble, Polish zloty and Indian rupee transactions. As of March 31, 2019 , the net unrealized gain from these hedges was $0.7 million .

Management supplements results reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing our business and evaluating its performance. When important to management’s analysis, operating results are compared on the basis of “constant currency”, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure excludes the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations by translating the current period revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison.

During the first quarter of 2019, we reported revenue growth of 22.9% over the first quarter of 2018. Had our consolidated revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2018, we would have reported revenue growth of 26.3% . The revenues have been mainly impacted from the depreciation of the euro, British pound and Russian ruble relative to the U.S. dollar. During the first quarter of 2019, we reported a net income decrease of 5.7% over the first quarter of 2018. Had our consolidated results been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 2018, we would have reported a net income decrease of 9.3% . Net income has been most positively impacted by depreciation of the Russian ruble, Hungarian forint and Polish zlotys relative to the U.S. dollar partially offset by the depreciation of the euro and British pound relative to the U.S. dollar.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
