AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACI Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is derived from the audited financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 24, 2022. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained in the future. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, as well as uncertainty in the current economic environment due to COVID-19. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements As of December 31, 2021, the Company revised the previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows to include settlement deposits in total cash and cash equivalents and settlement receivables and settlement liabilities net activity in cash flows from financing activities, both of which were previously included in cash flows from operating activities. This immaterial revision did not have an effect on its previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, or statements of stockholders' equity. A summary of the revisions to the previously reported balances are presented in the table below for comparative purposes (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 As reported Revision adjustment As revised Cash flows from operating activities: Other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities $ ( 42,094 ) $ ( 3,231 ) $ ( 45,325 ) Net cash flows from operating activities 108,216 ( 3,231 ) 104,985 Cash flows from financing activities: Net decrease in settlement assets and liabilities $ — $ ( 78,081 ) $ ( 78,081 ) Net cash flows from financing activities ( 103,262 ) ( 78,081 ) ( 181,343 ) Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ ( 19,161 ) $ ( 81,312 ) $ ( 100,473 ) Cash and cash equivalents, including settlement deposits, beginning of period 165,374 100,008 265,382 Cash and cash equivalents, including settlement deposits, end of period 146,213 18,696 164,909 9 Table of contents Other Current Liabilities The components of other current liabilities are included in the following table (in thousands): June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Vendor financed licenses $ 13,423 $ 12,521 Operating lease liabilities 11,738 11,518 Accrued interest 8,791 8,776 Royalties payable 3,409 4,102 Other 41,204 42,677 Total other current liabilities $ 78,565 $ 79,594 Settlement Assets and Liabilities Individuals and businesses settle their obligations to the Company’s various Biller clients using credit or debit cards or via automated clearing house (“ACH”) payments. The Company creates a receivable for the amount due from the credit or debit card processor and an offsetting payable to the client. Upon confirmation that the funds have been received, the Company settles the obligation to the client. Due to timing, in some instances, the Company may (1) receive the funds into bank accounts controlled by and in the Company’s name that are not disbursed to its clients by the end of the day, resulting in a settlement deposit on the Company’s books and (2) disburse funds to its clients in advance of receiving funds from the credit or debit card processor, resulting in a net settlement receivable position. Off Balance Sheet Settlement Accounts The Company also enters into agreements with certain Biller clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an ACH or automated teller machine network payment transaction is processed, a transaction is initiated to withdraw funds from the designated source account and deposit them into a settlement account, which is a trust account maintained for the benefit of the Company’s clients. A simultaneous transaction is initiated to transfer funds from the settlement account to the intended destination account. These “back to back” transactions are designed to settle at the same time, usually overnight, such that the Company receives the funds from the source at the same time as it sends the funds to their destination. However, due to the transactions being with various financial institutions there may be timing differences that result in float balances. These funds are maintained in accounts for the benefit of the client, which is separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, these settlement accounts are not included in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company is entitled to interest earned on the fund balances. The collection of interest on these settlement accounts is considered in the Company’s determination of its fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for services performed by the Company. The amount of settlement funds as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was $ 227.2 million and $ 272.8 million, respectively. Fair Value The fair value of the Company’s Credit Agreement approximates the carrying value due to the floating interest rate (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes based on Level 2 inputs, which include quoted market prices and interest rate spreads of similar securities. The fair value of the Company’s 5.750 % Senior Notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) was $ 388.0 million and $ 419.0 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate the carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). 10 Table of contents Goodwill In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other , the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year using October 1 balances or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company evaluates goodwill at the reporting unit level and has identified its operating segments, Banks, Merchants, and Billers, as the reporting units. As of June 30, 2022, the Company's goodwill balance of $ 1.3 billion was allocated $ 725.9 million to Banks, $ 137.3 million to Merchants, and $ 417.0 million to Billers. Recoverability of goodwill is measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Use of a discounted cash flow model is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available transactional market evidence to determine the fair value. The calculated fair value was substantially in excess of the current carrying value for all reporting units based upon the October 1, 2021, annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods. Equity Method Investment In July 2019, the Company invested $ 18.3 million for a 30 % non-controlling financial interest in a payment technology and services company in India. The Company accounted for this investment using the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures . The Company records its share of earnings and losses in the investment on a one-quarter lag basis. Accordingly, the Company recorded an investment of $ 18.5 million and $ 19.3 million, which is included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. 2. Revenue In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers , revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and/or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. See Note 10, Segment Information, for additional information, including disaggregation of revenue based on primary solution category. Total receivables represent amounts billed and amounts earned that are to be billed in the future (i.e., accrued receivables). Included in accrued receivables are services, software as a service ("SaaS"), and platform as a service ("PaaS") revenues earned in the current period but billed in the following period, and amounts due under multi-year software license arrangements with extended payment terms for which the Company has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment subsequent to invoicing. Total receivables, net is comprised of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Billed receivables $ 166,163 $ 162,479 Allowance for doubtful accounts ( 2,923 ) ( 2,861 ) Billed receivables, net 163,240 159,618 Current accrued receivables, net 163,612 160,787 Long-term accrued receivables, net 268,075 276,164 Total accrued receivables, net 431,687 436,951 Total receivables, net $ 594,927 $ 596,569 One customer accounted for 12.4 % and 13.8 % of the Company's consolidated receivables balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 11 Table of contents Deferred revenue includes amounts due or received from customers for software licenses, maintenance, services, and/or SaaS and PaaS services in advance of recording the related revenue. Changes in deferred revenue were as follows (in thousands): Balance, December 31, 2021 $ 110,350 Deferral of revenue 68,352 Recognition of deferred revenue ( 62,717 ) Foreign currency translation ( 3,689 ) Balance, June 30, 2022 $ 112,296 Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that will be recognized in future periods, which is comprised of deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. This does not include: • Revenue that will be recognized in future periods from capacity overages that are accounted for as a usage-based royalty. • SaaS and PaaS revenue from variable consideration that will be recognized in accordance with the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient or meets the allocation objective. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 749.6 million as of June 30, 2022, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 46 % over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, revenue recognized by the Company from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not significant. 3. Divestiture Corporate Online Banking Solutions On June 7, 2022, the Company announced a definitive agreement to divest its corporate online banking solutions related assets and liabilities to One Equity Partners ("OEP") for $ 100.0 million. The sale includes employees and customer contracts as well as technology assets and intellectual property and is expected to close during the three months ending September 30, 2022. The Company and OEP have also entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"), whereby the Company will continue to perform certain functions on OEP's behalf during a migration period not expected to exceed 18 months. The TSA is meant to reimburse the Company for direct costs in order to provide such functions, which are no longer generating revenue for the Company. 4. Debt As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 40.0 million, $ 656.9 million, and $ 400.0 million outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loans, and Senior Notes, respectively, with up to $ 458.5 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended, and up to $ 1.5 million of unused borrowings under the Letter of Credit agreement. The amount of unused borrowings actually available varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Credit Agreement On April 5, 2019, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ACI Worldwide Corp. and ACI Payments, Inc. entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, to amend and restate the Company's existing agreement, as amended, dated February 24, 2017. On May 5, 2022, the Company and Bank of America entered into the LIBOR Transition Amendment (the "Amendment") that replaced the LIBOR reference rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") reference rate. No other terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement were changed as a result of the Amendment. 12 Table of contents The Credit Agreement consists of (a) a five-year $ 500.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes sublimits for (1) the issuance of standby letters of credit and (2) swingline loans, (b) a five-year $ 279.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the "Initial Term Loan") and (c) a five-year $ 500.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan (together with the Initial Term Loan, the "Term Loans", and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request optional incremental term loans and increases in the revolving commitment. The Credit Facility will mature on April 5, 2024. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the annual interest rate publicly announced by the administrative agent as its Prime Rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, or (3) SOFR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for a one-month interest period, adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1 % or (b) a SOFR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowings, adjusted for certain additional costs, plus an applicable margin.

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , based on weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and certain contingently issuable shares for which performance targets have been achieved. The following table reconciles the weighted average share amounts used to compute both basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 114,669 117,718 114,976 117,605 Add: Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs 536 1,292 673 1,353 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 115,205 119,010 115,649 118,958 The diluted earnings per share computation excludes 2.2 million and 1.3 million options to purchase shares, RSUs, and contingently issuable shares during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The diluted earnings per share computation excludes 2.0 million and 1.4 million options to purchase shares, RSUs, and contingently issuable shares during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was 114,295,153 and 115,730,046 , respectively. 9.

Other, net was $ 4.3 million and $ 0.1 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 10. Segment Information The Company reports financial performance based on its operating segments, Banks, Merchants, and Billers, and analyzes Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of segment profitability. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM, together with other senior management personnel, focus their review on consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on operating results, including revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, for each segment, separate from Corporate operations. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. Banks. ACI provides payment solutions to large and mid-size banks globally for retail banking, real time, digital, and other payment services. These solutions transform banks’ complex payment environments to speed time to market, reduce costs, and deliver a consistent experience to customers across channels while enabling them to prevent and rapidly react to fraudulent activity. In addition, they enable banks to meet the requirements of different real-time payments schemes and to quickly create differentiated products to meet consumer, business, and merchant demands. 17 Table of contents Merchants. ACI’s support of merchants globally includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 merchants, online-only merchants and the payment service providers, independent selling organizations, value-added resellers, and acquirers who service them. These customers operate in a variety of verticals, including general merchandise, grocery, hospitality, dining, transportation, and others. The Company's solutions provide merchants with a secure, omni-channel payments platform that gives them independence from third-party payment providers. They also offer secure solutions to online-only merchants that provide consumers with a convenient and seamless way to shop. Billers. Within the billers segment, ACI provides electronic bill presentment and payment (“EBPP”) services to companies operating in the consumer finance, insurance, healthcare, higher education, utility, government, and mortgage categories. The solutions enable these customers to support a wide range of payment options and provide a convenient consumer payments experience that drives consumer loyalty and increases revenue. Revenue is attributed to the reportable segments based upon the customer. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments in one of three methods: (1) direct costs of the segment, (2) labor costs that can be attributed based upon time tracking for individual projects, or (3) costs that are allocated. Allocated costs are generally marketing and sales related activities. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the measure reported to the CODM for purposes of making decisions on allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company’s segments, and, therefore, Segment Adjusted EBITDA is presented in conformity with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from operations before interest, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted to exclude net other income (expense). Corporate and unallocated expenses includes global facilities and information technology costs and long-term product roadmap expenses in addition to corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. The overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, and merger and acquisition activity. These costs along with depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

No other country outside the United States accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. 11. Income Taxes For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was 25 % and 28 %, respectively. The Company reported tax expense on pretax income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, with foreign entities recognizing earnings of $ 27.4 million and $ 58.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was negatively impacted by excess tax expense on equity-based compensation. 20 Table of contents For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's effective tax rate was 23 % and ( 112 )%, respectively. The Company reported tax expense on pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and a tax benefit on pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, with foreign entities recognizing earnings of $ 10.2 million and $ 9.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, was positively impacted by excess tax benefits on equity-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the occurrence of significant and unusual or infrequent items, such as vesting of stock-based compensation or foreign currency gains and losses. The Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions it operates. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $ 24.1 million and $ 24.5 million, respectively, excluding related liabilities for interest and penalties of $ 1.0 million and $ 1.1 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $ 6.1 million, due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation. 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In April 2021, ACH files associated with one of the Company's mortgage servicing customers were inadvertently transmitted to a processing bank during a test of its ACH file production system. Reversal ACH files were promptly issued, restoring affected accounts. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and various state regulatory agencies contacted the Company about this incident and the Company has furnished information to these authorities and is cooperating in their investigations. These investigations could result in material fines, penalties, and statutory damages as well as burdensome and costly injunctive remedies. In addition, the Company has been named as a defendant in seven class action lawsuits filed in various federal courts purportedly on behalf of consumers whose mortgage accounts were affected by the inadvertent ACH file transmission. The complaints vary, but generally allege violations of federal and state statutes and claim that the Company is obligated to pay statutory and other damages to class members. The Company has entered into an agreement to settle all of these lawsuits. The agreement, which is subject to court approval and other conditions, involves the establishment of (i) a $ 5.0 million fund out of which payments would be made to class members and for attorneys’ fees and administrative costs, plus (ii) additional funds totaling $ 1.5 million that could be required to be established in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the conditions to settlement will be satisfied. The Company has asserted claims for insurance coverage with respect to potential losses associated with this matter. There can be no assurance as to the amount of insurance that may be available. 21 Table of contents
