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 emerging industries. The Company is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

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 unaudited 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, 2019 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.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, certain amounts recorded in the prior-period consolidated statement of cash flows presented have been reclassified to conform to the current-period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

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

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments — In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.

The amendments in this update changed how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The new credit loss model requires 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. The Company adopted Topic 326, effective January 1, 2020, using a modified-retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. As a result of the adoption of Topic 326, the Company recorded an immaterial reduction to its allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables and contract assets .

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.

2020 Acquisition — During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed one acquisition with a purchase price of $ 14,663 including contingent consideration with an acquisition-date fair value of $ 4,042 . The Company committed to making contingent consideration payments with a maximum amount payable of $ 16,582 subject to attainment of specified performance targets in the first and second calendar years after the acquisition date. This acquisition increased EPAM’s software an d service capabilities in financial services as well as added $ 6,300 of intangible assets, consisting mainly of customer relationships. Revenues generated by this acquisition totaled $ 1,190 and $ 2,233 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. P ro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements was not material.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	As of June 30, 2020
	Balance		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Foreign exchange derivative assets	$	932	$	—	$	932	$	—
Total assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis	$	932	$	—	$	932	$	—

Foreign exchange derivative assets	$	1,910	$	—	$	1,910	$	—
Total assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis	$	1,910	$	—	$	1,910	$	—

Foreign exchange derivative liabilities	$	243	$	—	$	243	$	—
Contingent consideration	10,495		—		—		10,495
Total liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis	$	10,738	$	—	$	243	$	10,495

The 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” in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for additional information regarding derivative financial instruments.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted expected return method and 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. Although there is significant judgment involved, the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable. 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 formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreements and adjusted those estimates to reflect the probability of their achievement. Those weighted-average estimated future payments were then discounted to present value using a rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital of guideline companies. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration for the 2020 Acquisition was 17.5 %. 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 Level 3 acquisition-related contingent consideration using significant unobservable inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:


	Amount
Contingent consideration liabilities as of January 1, 2020	$	10,495
Payment of contingent consideration for previously acquired business	( 7,869 )
Acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration — 2020 Acquisition (Note 2)	4,042
Changes in fair value of contingent consideration included in Interest and other income, net	( 1,438 )
Effect of net foreign currency exchange rate changes	( 525 )
Contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2020	$	4,705

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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 generally short maturities of certain assets and liabilities result in a number of assets and liabilities for which fair value equals or closely approximates the amount recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The following tables present the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

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 June 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:


		As of June 30, 2020						As of December 31, 2019
	Balance Sheet Classification	Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives		Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Foreign exchange forward contracts - Designated as hedging instruments	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	932			$	1,910
	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities			$	3,035			$	243

The Company records changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets 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.

The changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Foreign exchange forward contracts - Designated as hedging instruments:
Net gain/(loss) in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	8,317	$	1,984	$	( 3,770 )	$	5,983
Net (loss)/gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)	$	( 1,851 )	$	342	$	( 2,511 )	$	( 110 )

6. LEASES

The Company leases office space, corporate apartments, office equipment, and vehicles . Many of the Company’s leases contain variable payments including changes in base rent and charges for common area maintenance or other miscellaneous expenses . Due to this variability, the cash flows associated with these variable payments are not included in the minimum lease payments used in determining the right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for such payments is incurred. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 0.1 years to 10.9 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. The Company leases and subleases a portion of its office space to third parties. Lease income and sublease income were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

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 borrowing capacity 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 June 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the 2017 Credit Facility.

10. INCOME TAXES

In determining its interim provision for 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 June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 12.4 % and 16.6 %, respectively, and 11.8 % and 11.3 % during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rates benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $ 8,129 and $ 4,741 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $ 19,826 and $ 16,254 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, any nonvested shares of restricted stock that have been issued by the Company and are contingently returnable to the Company are excluded from the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net 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.

Ta bl e of Contents

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


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Net income	$	66,624	$	58,777	$	152,189	$	119,531
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	66,624	$	58,777	$	152,189	$	119,531

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share	55,700,706		54,681,959		55,493,727		54,464,753
Net effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards	2,545,525		2,932,325		2,700,674		2,961,810
Weighted average common shares for diluted earnings per share	58,246,231		57,614,284		58,194,401		57,426,563

Net income per share:
Basic	$	1.20	$	1.07	$	2.74	$	2.19
Diluted	$	1.14	$	1.02	$	2.62	$	2.08

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 146,732 and 77,925 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

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 168,451 and 97,327 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

12. 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, infringement of third party intellectual property rights, data privacy violations, and certain tortious conduct in the course of providing services. 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.

Building Acquisition Commitments — During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase office space in Ukraine intended to support the global delivery center in that country. The agreement is subject to completion of construction and other ordinary closing conditions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has committed to making future payments totaling approximately $ 36,900 including VAT to the sellers upon transfer of the building.

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 intangible assets acquired through business combinations, 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 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company changed its management reporting of segment revenue to exclude other income. Prior year amounts presented below have been changed to conform to the new presentation.

Revenues from external customers and operating profit/(loss), before unallocated expenses, by reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Russia	20,249		23,201		44,173		39,780
Total segment revenues	$	632,383	$	551,587	$	1,283,742	$	1,072,920
Segment operating profit/(loss):
North America	$	82,752	$	69,347	$	161,679	$	133,804

Russia	( 5,645 )		5,652		( 5,126 )		6,241
Total segment operating profit	$	111,533	$	102,678	$	222,758	$	199,509

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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Our COVID-19 Pandemic Response

Our top priority from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the safety and well-being of our employees. As governments lifted and sometimes re-imposed restrictions on group gatherings, commercial operations, and travel, we have continued to apply those changing requirements to our business so we can maintain the health and safety of our employees and continue to serve our customers during these challenging times. Our business continuity plans are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of approximately 36,400 EPAM professionals while supporting the operations of hundreds of customers around the world.

As of the date of this report, more than 93% of EPAM employees were productively working remotely with minimal service interruptions and in close collaboration with our customers. A limited number of EPAM personnel are providing services to us or our customers from our offices or our customers’ facilities.

Our Employees

With the vast majority of our employees able to work securely from a remote location, we do not expect that COVID-19 control measures and restrictions on group gatherings and non-essential businesses will have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business or productively deliver services to our customers, nor on our financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting, or disclosure controls and procedures. With the increase in remote access to our systems and networks, we have accelerated some ongoing security initiatives and programs.

Many of the countries where we have offices or regularly conduct business have imposed or extended restrictions on travel and immigration from other countries, including a suspension of most immigration and non-immigration visas issued by the United States. If further extended, these travel and immigration restrictions may continue to impact our operations. However, we do not believe that the travel and immigration restrictions in place at this time will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

Our Customers

Our adaptive global delivery model enables us to deliver our services and solutions to our customers from remote locations instead of from our delivery centers. We have continued to provide our customers with the products, services, and solutions they seek to deliver business results. We continually assess our customers’ current and future needs for EPAM personnel to work at their facilities and our global delivery centers, so that we can deploy resources safely and in compliance with local COVID-19 mitigation efforts.

Deteriorating economic conditions for some of our customers could materially reduce our sales and profitability. Reduced demand from our customers and their customers, prolonged financial distress in our customer base, and the continued volatility in macroeconomic conditions has and could continue to adversely impact revenues and decrease the collectability of our trade receivables. Any or all of these factors could increase the negative impact on our results of operations. Based on currently available information, we believe that our revenues in the third quarter of 2020 will grow at lower growth rates than we have experienced this quarter. Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the timing and speed of economic recovery, reduced sales volume could extend beyond the third quarter of 2020.

Our Community

EPAM supports the communities where we live and work and we assisted our global and local communities by donating resources and developing open source contributions to support efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

We continued to leverage our intellectual property, engineering roots, and design acumen to fight COVID-19 on multiple fronts, including:

• EPAM Continuum introduced Guide Lines: Markings for Social Distancing, a toolkit for retailers and other business owners to adhere to physical distancing guidelines by creating visual cues with readily-available tools and materials to direct foot traffic.

• EPAM’s Made Real Lab released an open source design to accelerate the production of reusable face shields that do not require 3D printing and use commercially available materials.

• EPAM Continuum introduced an open source project for parents and children to build a timer to encourage healthy handwashing habits, teach electronics and creative prototyping skills, and basic coding skills.

Ta bl e of Contents

• EPAM and the United Nations Children’s Fund/Europe and Central Asia Regional Office partnered to build a COVID-19 information chatbot app that was combined with EPAM’s COVID Resistance app to provide national authorities, public health institutions, social service agencies, families and individuals access to trusted information while promoting protective and preventive behaviors at the individual and community levels.

Moving Forward

We expect uncertainty around the impacts the pandemic will have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We actively monitor our business and the needs of our employees, customers, and communities to determine the appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of our employees and our ongoing operations. This includes actions informed by the requirements and recommendations of federal, state and local authorities.

Economic and demand uncertainty in the current environment may impact our future results. We continue to monitor the demand for our services including the duration and degree to which we see declines or delays in new customer projects and payment for services performed. We continue to assess how the effects of COVID-19 on the economy may impact human capital allocation, revenues, profitability, and operating expenses.

Year-to-Date 2020 Developments and Trends

For the first six months of 2020, our revenues were $1,283.7 million, an increase of 19.6% over $1,072.9 million reported for the same period of 2019. We have built an increasingly diversified portfolio across numerous verticals, geographies and service offerings which allowed us to continue to grow revenues despite challenges posed by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Certain clients and certain industry verticals were adversely impacted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020 including Travel & Consumer which grew less than 10% during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. Our performance remained strong in Business Information & Media, which became our largest vertical, contributing 21.7% of total revenues for the first six months of 2020.

Summary of Results of Operations

The following table presents a summary of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

The key highlights of our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2019, were as follows:

• Revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $632.4 million, or a 14.6% increase from $551.6 million reported in the same period last year. Revenue growth slowed in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of declining revenue growth in Travel & Consumer and Emerging Verticals largely driven by the impact of COVID-19 on our clients as well as declining revenue growth in Financial Services. The second quarter of 2020 was negatively impacted by $4.7 million or 0.9% due to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the corresponding period last year. Acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months contributed $9.3 million to our revenues in the second quarter of 2020. Revenues for the first half of 2020 were $1,283.7 million, or a 19.6% increase from $1,072.9 million reported in the corresponding period last year. The first half of 2020 was negatively impacted by $10.1 million or 1.0% due to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the corresponding period last year. Acquisitions completed in 2019 and 2020 contributed $20.3 million to our revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

• Income from operations grew 14.5% and 24.3% to $83.4 million and $170.9 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, income from operations for the second quarter of 2020 remained steady at 13.2% compared to the second quarter last year and increased to 13.3% for the first half of 2020 as compared to 12.8% for the corresponding period in 2019. Income from operations as a percentage of revenues was impacted during the second quarter of 2020 by an increase in Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues attributable to temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which was offset by a reduction in travel-related expenses reported in Cost of revenues and a reduction in travel-related, recruitment, and facilities expenses reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase as a percentage of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 was primarily driven by lower expenses associated with stock-based compensation largely attributable to the mark-to-market for cash-settled RSUs.

• Our effective tax rate was 11.8% in the first six months of 2020 compared to 11.3% in the corresponding period last year. Our effective tax rate during the period was impacted by lower excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards as a percentage of pre-tax income in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period last year.

• Net income increased 13.4% to $66.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $58.8 million reported in the corresponding period last year. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, net income was 10.5%, a decrease of 0.2% compared to 10.7% reported in the corresponding period of 2019. Net income grew 27.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period last year primarily due to the improvement in income from operations partially offset by the increase in our effective tax rate.

• Diluted earnings per share was $1.14 and $2.62 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.12 and $0.54 compared to the corresponding period last year.

• Cash provided by operating activities was $209.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $43.8 million in the corresponding period last year. This increase is largely driven by the increase in net income, improvements in collections from customers, delays in payment of certain employee-related costs, and reduced income tax payments compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 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, 2019.

Consolidated Results Review

Revenues

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our total revenues grew to $632.4 million or 14.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2019. Revenue growth slowed in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of deterioration in economic conditions for our customers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenues have been positively impacted by acquisitions completed in the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, which contributed 1.7% to our revenue growth, and negatively impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates which decreased our revenue growth by 0.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period last year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our total revenues grew 19.6% over the corresponding period in 2019. The first half of 2020 was negatively impacted by $10.1 million or 1.0% due to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates as compared to the corresponding period last year. The acquisitions completed in 2019 and 2020 contributed 1.9% to our revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Revenues by customer location for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,														Six Months Ended June 30,

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

(2) APAC, or Asia Pacific, includes revenues from customers in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the United States continued to be our largest customer location, with revenues increasing 14.4% to $365.0 million during the second quarter of 2020 from $319.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues in the United States grew 18.8% to $735.1 million compared to $618.7 million in the same period of the prior year.

The top three revenue contributing customer location countries in Europe were the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Netherlands, contributing $82.3 million, $46.5 million and $27.2 million , respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues from customers in these three countries were $69.0 million, $35.4 million , and $21.0 million, respectively, in the corresponding period last year. Revenues in the United Kingdom benefited from the growth in revenues from one of our top five customers. Revenues in the European geography were negatively impacted by a weakening of the euro and British pound relative to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the previous year. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Netherlands performed as Europe’s top revenue generating locations and contributed $174.4 million, $93.8 million, and $53.1 million, respectively, compared to $134.8 million, $71.6 million, and $41.7 million in the corresponding period last year, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues in the CIS geography included $19.4 million from customers in Russia, a decrease of $3.0 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the timing of revenue recognition associated with the execution of contracts as compared to the same period in the previous year and a reversal of $2.5 million of previously recognized revenues associated with a change in estimate of completed performance on a fixed-fee project partially offset by revenue growth. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, customers in Russia comprised $41.4 million of the revenues in the CIS geography, an increase of $3.1 million over the corresponding period of 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the revenues in the CIS geography were adversely impacted by the timing of revenue recognition associated with the execution of contracts as compared to the same period in the previous year.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from the customers in the APAC region increased by $2.9 million, or 20.5%, and $3.6 million, or 13.0%, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 2019.

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, project-related travel costs and fees for subcontractors who are assigned to customer projects. Salaries and other compensation expenses of our delivery 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.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $419.5 million representing an increase of 17.9% from $355.9 million in the corresponding period of 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs largely driven by the 14.1% growth in the average number of production professionals during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, partially offset by a 1.8% favorable impact from changing foreign currency exchange rates. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was 66.3% and 64.5% in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to declining profitability on certain accounts due to temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic partially offset by a reduction in travel-related expenses due to the restrictions of travel attributable to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $843.3 million representing an increase of 20.4% from $700.6 million in the corresponding period of 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs largely driven by the 15.4% growth in the average number of production professionals and a higher level of accrued variable compensation during the first half of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 partially offset by a 2.1% favorable impact from changing foreign currency exchange rates. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was 65.7% and 65.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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, severance, bad debt, travel, legal and accounting services, insurance, facilities including operating leases, 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 and, as a percentage of revenues, to return to a range consistent with our recent historical trends.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses were $114.2 million representing an increase of 2.2% as compared to $111.8 million in the corresponding period of 2019. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a $10.3 million increase in personnel-related costs including stock-based compensation, talent acquisition and development expenses and partially offset by a $7.7 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.2% to 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period from the prior year, primarily driven by reduced travel-related expenses attributable to worldwide restriction on travel due to COVID-19, reduced recruiting expenses attributable to reduced hiring efforts in the second quarter of 2020, and reduced facility-related expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses were $239.3 million representing an increase of 12.1% as compared to $213.5 million reported in the corresponding period of 2019. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.3% to 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period from the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by the 0.8% decrease in travel and entertainment expenses as a percentage of revenue resulting from the worldwide restriction on travel due to COVID-19, reduced recruiting expenses attributable to reduced hiring efforts in the second quarter of 2020, and reduced facility-related expenses.

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 2017 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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, depreciation and amortization expense was $15.2 million and $30.2 million, respectively, as compared to $11.0 million and $21.2 million, respectively, 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 intangible assets, all of which have finite useful lives. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 2.4%, during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the 2.0% in both corresponding periods of 2019.

Foreign Exchange Loss

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

Provision for 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 provision for income taxes benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $8.1 million and $4.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our provision for income taxes benefited from excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards of $19.8 million and $16.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our effective tax rate was 12.4% and 11.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 16.6% and 11.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, is attributable to the decrease, as a percentage of income before provision for income taxes, in excess tax benefits recorded upon vesting or exercise of stock-based awards.

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. 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 stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, 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.

Ta bl e of Contents

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.

Segment revenues from external customers and segment operating profit, before unallocated expenses, for the North America, Europe and Russia reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

North America Segment

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues for the North America segment increased $53.8 million, or 16.3%, compared to the same period last year and segment operating profit increased $13.4 million, or 19.3%, compared to the same period last year. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from our North America segment were 60.9% of total segment revenues, an increase from 60.0% reported in the corresponding period of 2019. The North America segment’s operating profit margin increased to 21.5% during the second quarter of 2020 from 20.9% in the second quarter of 2019. This increase is primarily attributable to reduced Selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues for the North America segment increased $134.2 million, or 20.9%, compared to the same period last year and segment operating profit increased $27.9 million, or 20.8%, compared to the same period last year. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues from our North America segment were 60.4% and 59.8% of total segment revenues, respectively. As a percentage of North America segment revenues, the North America segment’s operating profit margin was consistent at 20.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to 20.9% in the corresponding period of 2019.

Software & Hi-Tech remained the largest industry vertical in the North America segment during the second quarter of 2020. It grew 17.8% and 23.0% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding periods from the prior year, which was a result of the continued focus on working with our technology customers. Economic challenges faced by our clients led to slower growth in the Travel & Consumer and Emerging Verticals than realized in prior periods. Financial Services experienced slower growth due to a change in certain customers’ business models associated with low-cost trading platforms. Revenues from Business Information & Media, Software & Hi-Tech and Emerging Verticals each grew in excess of 20% du ring the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Europe Segment

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Europe’s segment revenues were $227.3 million, representing an increase of $29.9 million, or 15.2%, from the same period last year. Revenues were negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the second quarter of 2020. Had our Europe segment revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the second quarter of 2019, we would have reported revenue growth of 16.0%. Europe’s segment revenues accounted for 35.9% and 35.8% of total segment revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the second quarter of 2020, the segment’s operating profit increased 24.4% to $34.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, Europe’s segment operating profit increased to 15.1% compared to 14.0% in the same period of the prior year. Segment operating profit was impacted by reduced Selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues for the Europe segment increased $72.2 million, or 18.4%, compared to the same period last year and segment operating profit increased $6.7 million, or 11.3%, compared to the same period last year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues from our Europe segment were 36.1% and 36.5% of total segment revenues, respectively. As a percentage of Europe segment revenues, the Europe segment’s operating profit decreased to 14.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 15.2% in the corresponding period of 2019. Segment operating profit was impacted by temporary discounts provided to certain customers experiencing challenging economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a change in the estimate of variable consideration associated with a single customer and the depreciation of the euro and the British pound.

The Europe segment benefited from strong growth of the Business Information & Media vertical of 63.5% and 70.7% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to corresponding periods of 2019 largely driven by growth in revenues from one of our top five customers. Financial Services remained the largest industry vertical in the Europe segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues in Travel & Consumer and Software & Hi-Tech decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period of 2019 primarily due to declining demand from certain customers adversely affected by the decline in global travel due to worldwide travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Russia Segment

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from our Russia segment accounted for 3.2% of total segment revenues and decreased $3.0 million, or 12.7%, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of revenue recognition associated with the execution of contracts as compared to the prior year and a reversal of $2.5 million of previously recognized revenues associated with a change in estimate of completed performance on a fixed-fee project partially offset by revenue growth. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, operating loss from the Russia segment was $5.6 million, representing a decrease of $11.3 million, as compared to $5.7 million operating profit in the corresponding period last year. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in revenues, costs incurred without recognizing corresponding revenues due to the delays in the timing of execution of contracts and the devaluation of the Russian ruble relative to the U.S. dollar.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from our Russia segment increased $4.4 million, or 11.0%, as compared to the corresponding period of 2019 and accounted for 3.4% of total segment revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating loss of the Russia segment was $5.1 million, representing a decrease of $11.4 million, as compared to $6.2 million operating profit in the corresponding period last year. This decrease is attributable to the reduction in revenues, costs incurred without recognizing corresponding revenues due to the delays in the timing of execution of contracts and the devaluation of the Russian ruble relative to the U.S. dollar.

Revenue from Financial Services decreased 24.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 due to a reversal of $2.5 million of previously recognized revenues associated with a change in estimate of completed performance on a fixed-fee project and the devaluation of the Russian ruble relative to the U.S. dollar.

Currency fluctuations of the Russian ruble typically impact the results in the Russia segment. Ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty in the region and the volatility of the Russian ruble can significantly impact reported revenues and profitability in this segment. We continue to monitor geopolitical 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 June 30, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $993.7 million, short-term investments of $60.0 million as well as $275.0 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 June 30, 2020, the total amount of cash held in these countries was $164.4 million and, of this amount, $100.4 million was held in Belarus. Cash in this region is used for operational needs and cash balances in those banks change with the operating needs of our entities in the region. We regularly monitor cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support our business operations, we distribute the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors.

As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million under our revolving credit facility, and were in compliance with all covenants specified under the credit facility and we 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.

Based on currently available information and management’s current expectations, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash on hand and sufficient access to capital to continue to fund our operations for a significant period of time. However, COVID-19 and related measures to contain its impact have caused material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The future impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 containment measures cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
	(in thousands)
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow Data:
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	209,411	$	43,827
Net cash used in investing activities	(133,571)		(47,445)
Net cash (used in)/provided by financing activities	(6,648)		8,208

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period	937,688		771,711
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period	$	994,881	$	778,549

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $209.4 million, an increase of $165.6 million compared to $43.8 million provided by operating activities in the corresponding period of 2019. This increase is largely driven by the increase in net income, improvements in collections from customers, delays in payment of certain employee-related costs, and reduced income tax payments compared to the corresponding period of 2019.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $133.6 million compared to $47.4 million used in the same period in 2019. During the first six months of 2020, the cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $40.5 million and acquisitions of businesses net of cash acquired of $12.6 million compared to cash used for capital expenditures of $25.0 million and acquisitions of businesses net of cash acquired of $16.2 million during the six months of 2019. During the second quarter of 2020 we invested $60.0 million of cash into time deposits with maturities of six months or less.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $6.6 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to $8.2 million net cash provided by financing activities in the same period of 2019. During the first six months of 2020, we used cash for the payments of withholding taxes related to net share settlements of restricted stock units of $15.9 million, compared to $13.1 million paid in the corresponding period of 2019, and for the payment of $7.9 million of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Think. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash received from the exercises of stock options issued under our long-term incentive plans of $17.1 million, compared to $22.4 million received in the corresponding period of 2019.

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 including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as described elsewhere in this MD&A. 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.

As June 30, 2020, we have deferred payment of $7.2 million of social security taxes as allowed by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act and will remit 50% of the outstanding balance by the due dates of December 31, 2021 and 2022.

See Note 12 “Commitments and Contingencies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report and “Part II. Item 7. Contractual Obligations and Future Capital Requirements” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for information regarding contractual obligations.

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 12 “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 made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 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” and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 also contains estimates and forward-looking statements, principally in “Part I. 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. Those future events and trends may relate to, among other things, the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect that it may have on our sales, operations, access to capital, revenues, profitability and customer demand. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks, uncertainties and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate and are made in light of information currently available to us. Important factors, in addition to the factors described in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report, may materially and adversely affect our results as indicated in forward-looking statements. You should read this quarterly report, our Annual 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.

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, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climates, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.

Ta bl e of Contents

Concentration of Credit and Other Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables.

We maintain our cash, 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 June 30, 2020, $164.4 million of our total cash was kept in banks in these countries, of which $100.4 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 operational needs and cash balances in those banks change with the operating needs of our entities in the region. We regularly monitor cash held in these countries and, to the extent the cash held exceeds amounts required to support our business operations, we distribute the excess funds into markets with more developed banking sectors.

Trade receivables are generally dispersed across many customers operating in different industries; therefore, concentration of credit risk is limited and we do not believe significant credit risk existed at June 30, 2020. Though our results of operations depend on our ability to successfully collect payment from our customers for work performed, historically, credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables have not been material to our consolidated financial statements. If any of our customers enter bankruptcy protection or otherwise take steps to alleviate their financial distress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, our credit losses and write-offs of trade receivables could increase, which would negatively impact our results of operations.

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, Chinese yuan renminbi and Mexican pesos. As a result, currency fluctuations, specifically the depreciation of the euro, British pound, and Canadian dollar and the appreciation of the Russian ruble, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty, Chinese yuan renminbi and Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar, could negatively impact our results of operations.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, foreign exchange loss was $9.2 million compared to a loss of $3.6 million reported in the corresponding period last year. This loss is largely driven by the strengthening of the of the euro and British pound during the second quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, foreign exchange loss was $2.6 million compared to a loss of $7.0 million in the corresponding period last year.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, approximately 30.4% of consolidated revenues and 39.8% 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 June 30, 2020, the net unrealized loss from these hedges was $2.1 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 second quarter of 2020, we reported revenue growth of 14.6% over the second quarter of 2019. Had our consolidated revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the second quarter of 2019, we would have reported revenue growth of 15.5%. Our revenues have been mainly impacted by depreciation of the euro, British pound and Russian ruble relative to the U.S. dollar. During the second quarter of 2020, we reported a net income increase of 13.4% over the second quarter of 2019. Had our consolidated results been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect during the second quarter of 2019, we would have reported a net income increase of 7.2%. Net income has been most positively impacted by depreciation of the Hungarian forint, Russian ruble, Polish zloty and Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar partially offset by the appreciation of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar.

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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding, nor are we aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings pending or contemplated to be brought against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factor below and the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our results of operations have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely affected by the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).

The global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has created significant volatility in the price of our common stock, uncertainty in customer demand for our services, and widespread economic disruption. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic will further impact our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous factors that are frequently changing or unknown, and that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ responses or planned responses to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and any interventions intended to mitigate decreased economic activity; the effect on our customers and customer demand for our products, services, and solutions; our ability to sell and provide our products, services, and solutions, including as a result of travel restrictions, personnel working from home or with diminished technology and communication abilities, and social distancing; the ability of our customers to pay timely, if at all, for our services and solutions with or without discounts requested by our customers; and closures of our and our customers’ offices and facilities. The closure of our customers’ facilities, restrictions that prevent our customers from accessing those facilities or their own customers, and broad disruptions in our customers’ markets and customer base, has disrupted, and could in the future disrupt the demand for our products, services, and solutions and result in, among other things, termination of customer contracts, delays or interruptions in the performance of contracts, losses of revenues, and an increase in bad debt expense. Customers may also slow or halt decision making, delay planned work, or suspend, terminate, or reduce existing contracts or services. Travel and immigration restrictions may delay or prevent our personnel from accessing worksites, and work-from-home or remote working arrangements could reduce profitability or increase information security, cyber security and connectivity vulnerabilities. In addition, when COVID-19-related restrictions on business are eased, our ability to deliver services to our customers could be affected by any outbreak of illness among employees returning to our facilities or to our customers' facilities. Moreover, there may be additional costs that we will have to incur in connection with further changes to, or a return to, normal operating conditions. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including, but not limited to, those relating to our operations in emerging markets, our ability to execute on our growth strategy through strategic acquisitions, our dependency on third parties for network infrastructure, attracting, hiring, and retaining personnel, the effects on movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and the effects that changes to fiscal, political, regulatory and other federal policies may have on EPAM, each of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or stock price.
