1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
IQVIA Holdings Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “IQVIA”) is a leading global provider of advanced analytics, technology solutions and clinical research services to the life sciences industry. With approximately 83,000 employees, IQVIA conducts business in more than 100 countries.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting pronouncements adopted
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance that requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers and other similar contracts that are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, at fair value on the acquisition date. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The impact of this guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the remainder of the year will depend on the size and nature of future acquisitions, if any .

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of June 30, 2022, approximately $ 28.7 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized in the future from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 30 % of these remaining performance obligations over the next twelve months , with the balance recognized thereafter. The customer contract transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations differs from backlog in that it does not include wholly unperformed contracts under which the customer has a unilateral right to cancel the arrangement .

3. Trade Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Services and Unearned Income
Trade accounts receivables and unbilled services consist of the following:
(in millions) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021
Billed $ 1,261 $ 1,275
Unbilled services 1,446 1,309
Trade accounts receivable and unbilled services 2,707 2,584
Allowance for doubtful accounts ( 28 ) ( 33 )
Trade accounts receivable and unbilled services, net $ 2,679 $ 2,551
Unbilled services and unearned income were as follows:
(in millions) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Change
Unbilled services $ 1,446 $ 1,309 $ 137
Unearned income ( 1,810 ) ( 1,825 ) 15
Net balance $ ( 364 ) $ ( 516 ) $ 152
Unbilled services, which is comprised of approximately 61 % and 62 % of unbilled receivables and 39 % and 38 % of contract assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, increased by $ 137 million as compared to December 31, 2021. Contract assets are unbilled services for which invoicing is based on the timing of certain milestones related to service contracts for clinical research whereas unbilled receivables are billable upon the passage of time. Unearned income decreased by $ 15 million over the same period resulting in an increase of $ 152 million in the net balance of unbilled services and unearned income between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022. The change in the net balance is driven by the difference in timing of revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, primarily related to the Company’s Research & Development Solutions contracts (which is based on the percentage of costs incurred) versus the timing of invoicing, which is based on certain milestones.
Bad debt expense recognized on the Company’s receivables and unbilled services was de minimis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is described below. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of total debt approximated $ 12,050 million and $ 12,255 million, respectively, as determined under Level 1 and Level 2 measurements for these financial instruments.

Ta b l e o f c o n t e n t s
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022:
(in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:
Marketable securities $ 117 $ — $ — $ 117
Derivatives — 35 — 35
Total $ 117 $ 35 $ — $ 152
Liabilities:
Derivatives $ — $ 10 $ — $ 10
Contingent consideration — — 76 76
Total $ — $ 10 $ 76 $ 86
Below is a summary of the valuation techniques used in determining fair value:
Marketable securities — The Company values trading and available-for-sale securities using the quoted market value of the securities held.
Derivatives — Derivatives consist of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is based on observable market inputs of spot and forward rates or using other observable inputs. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account market interest rates and the remaining time to maturities or using market inputs with mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for bid-ask spread.
Contingent consideration — The Company values contingent consideration related to business combinations using a weighted probability calculation of potential payment scenarios discounted at rates reflective of the risks associated with the expected future cash flows. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration include various financial metrics (revenue performance targets and operating forecasts) and the probability of achieving the specific targets. Based on the assessments of the probability of achieving specific targets, as of June 30, 2022 the Company has accrued approximately 81 % of the maximum contingent consideration payments that could potentially become payable.
The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30:
Contingent Consideration
(in millions) 2022 2021
Balance as of January 1 $ 76 $ 119
Business combinations 23 23
Contingent consideration paid ( 18 ) ( 35 )
Revaluations included in earnings and foreign currency translation adjustments ( 5 ) ( 21 )
Balance as of June 30 $ 76 $ 86
The current portion of contingent consideration is included within accrued expenses and the long-term portion is included within other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revaluations of contingent consideration are recognized in other expense (income), net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. A change in significant unobservable inputs could result in a higher or lower fair value measurement of contingent consideration.
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
As of June 30, 2022, assets carried on the balance sheet and not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis totaled approximately $ 17,969 million and were identified as Level 3. These assets are comprised of cost and equity method investments of $ 132 million, goodwill of $ 13,104 million and other identifiable intangibles, net of $ 4,733 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On June 16, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to borrow $ 1,250 million in additional U.S. Dollar denominated term A loans due 2027 (the “Additional Term A Loans”). The Additional Term A Loans bear interest based at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rates (“Term SOFR”), plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % plus a margin ranging from 1.125 % to 2.00 %, with a Term SOFR floor of 0.00 % per annum. The proceeds from the Additional Term A Loans were used to repay approximately $ 950 million of outstanding revolving credit loans under the Company’s Credit Agreement and for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s Credit Agreement provided financing through several senior secured credit facilities of up to approximately $ 8,173 million, which consisted of $ 6,673 million principal amounts of debt outstanding (as detailed in the table above), and $ 1,500 million of available borrowing capacity on the $ 1,500 million revolving credit facility and standby letters of credit. The revolving credit facility is comprised of a $ 675 million senior secured revolving facility available in U.S. dollars, a $ 600 million senior secured revolving facility available in U.S. dollars, Euros, Swiss Francs and other foreign currencies, and a $ 225 million senior secured revolving facility available in U.S. dollars and Yen.
Restrictive Covenants
The Company’s debt agreements provide for certain covenants and events of default customary for similar instruments, including a covenant not to exceed a specified ratio of consolidated senior secured net indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facility agreement and a covenant to maintain a specified minimum interest coverage ratio. If an event of default occurs under any of the Company’s or the Company’s subsidiaries’ financing arrangements, the creditors under such financing arrangements will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under such arrangements, and in the case of the lenders under the revolving credit facility and term loans, other actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. The Company’s long-term debt arrangements contain other usual and customary restrictive covenants that, among other things, place limitations on the Company’s ability to declare dividends. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the financial covenants under the Company’s financing arrangements .
8. Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal and tax proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management periodically assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. For those matters where management currently believes it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and that the probable loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company has recorded an accrual in the consolidated financial statements based on its best estimates of such loss. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to either the probable outcome or the amount or range of loss, management is unable to make a reasonable estimate of a liability, if any.
However, even in many instances where the Company has recorded an estimated liability, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the final outcome of the matter or whether resolution of the matter will materially affect the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As additional information becomes available, the Company adjusts its assessments and estimates of such liabilities accordingly.

Ta b l e o f c o n t e n t s
The Company routinely enters into agreements with third parties, including our clients and suppliers, all in the normal course of business. In these agreements, the Company sometimes agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party for any damages such other party may suffer as a result of potential intellectual property infringement and other claims. The Company has not accrued a liability with respect to these matters generally, as the exposure is considered remote.
Based on its review of the latest information available, management does not expect the impact of pending legal and tax proceedings, claims and litigation, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against the Company could have a material adverse effect for the period in which it is resolved. The following is a summary of certain legal matters involving the Company.
On February 13, 2014, a group of approximately 1,200 medical doctors and 900 private individuals filed a civil lawsuit with the Seoul Central District Court against IMS Korea and two other defendants, the Korean Pharmaceutical Association (“KPA”) and the Korean Pharmaceutical Information Center (“KPIC”). The civil lawsuit alleges KPA and KPIC collected their personal information in violation of applicable privacy laws without the necessary consent through a software system installed on pharmacy computer systems in Korea, and that personal information was transferred to IMS Korea and sold to pharmaceutical companies. On September 11, 2017, the District Court issued a final decision that the encryption in use by the defendants since June 2014 was adequate to meet the requirements of the Korean Personal Information Privacy Act (“PIPA”) and the sharing of non-identified information for market research purposes was allowed under PIPA. The District Court also found an earlier version of encryption was insufficient to meet PIPA requirements, but no personal data had been leaked or re-identified. The District Court did not award any damages to plaintiffs. Approximately 280 medical doctors and 200 private individuals appealed the District Court decision. On May 3, 2019, the Appellate Court issued a final decision in which it concluded all of the non-identified information transferred by KPIC to IMS Korea for market research purposes violated PIPA, but did not award any damages to plaintiffs (affirming the District Court’s decision on this latter point). On May 24, 2019, approximately 247 plaintiffs appealed the Appellate Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. The Company believes the appeal is without merit and is vigorously defending its position.
On July 23, 2015, indictments were issued by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office in South Korea against 24 individuals and companies alleging improper handling of sensitive health information in violation of, among others, South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act. IMS Korea and two of its employees were among the individuals and organizations indicted. Although there is no assertion that IMS Korea used patient identified health information in any of its offerings, prosecutors allege that certain of IMS Korea’s data suppliers should have obtained patient consent when they converted sensitive patient information into non-identified data and that IMS Korea had not taken adequate precautions to reduce the risk of re-identification. On February 14, 2020, the Seoul Central District Court acquitted IMS Korea and its two employees of the charges of improper handling of sensitive health information, and the Prosecutor's Office appealed. On December 23, 2021, the appellate court affirmed the judgment of the Seoul Central District Court. The Prosecutor's Office has appealed to the Supreme Court. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position on appeal.
On January 10, 2017, Quintiles IMS Health Incorporated and IMS Software Services Ltd. (collectively “IQVIA Parties”), filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Veeva Systems, Inc. (“Veeva”) alleging Veeva unlawfully used IQVIA Parties intellectual property to improve Veeva data offerings, to promote and market Veeva data offerings and to improve Veeva technology offerings. IQVIA Parties seek injunctive relief, appointment of a monitor, the award of compensatory and punitive damages and reimbursement of all litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. On March 13, 2017, Veeva filed counterclaims alleging anticompetitive business practices in violation of the Sherman Act and state laws. Veeva claims damages in excess of $ 200 million, and is seeking punitive damages and litigation costs, including attorneys’ fees. We believe the counterclaims are without merit, reject all counterclaims raised by Veeva and intend to vigorously defend IQVIA Parties’ position and pursue our claims against Veeva. Since the initial filings, the parties have filed additional litigations against each other, primarily concerning the use of IQVIA data with various other Veeva products. The parties are engaged in the discovery process in connection with these lawsuits.
On May 7, 2021, the Court issued an order and opinion (the “Order”) in which it found significant evidence that Veeva had (1) misappropriated IQVIA data and unlawfully used it to improve Veeva data offerings, (2) engaged in a cover-up by deleting significant evidence of its theft of IQVIA’s trade secrets, and (3) improperly withheld certain evidence in furtherance of a crime and/or fraud against IQVIA. The Court imposed five sanctions against Veeva, including ordering three separate adverse inference instructions be issued to the jury and that IQVIA be permitted to present evidence to the jury of Veeva’s destruction efforts. Veeva is currently appealing the Order.

In 2016, IQVIA acquired Dimensions Healthcare LLC (“Dimensions”), a company operating in the Middle East that was engaged in a joint venture with MedImpact International LLC (“MedImpact International”). The joint venture was terminated in late 2017, and on January 23, 2018, MedImpact International brought an arbitration in Dubai against Dimensions alleging that Dimensions had obtained access to its intellectual property through its prior joint venture with MedImpact International and had used that access to misappropriate and misuse MedImpact International’s intellectual property. Dimensions was ordered to pay an immaterial amount of damages and attorneys’ fees, and enjoined from future use of certain claimed MedImpact International intellectual property.
On September 26, 2019, MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc., MedImpact International, MedImpact International Hong Kong Ltd (collectively, “MedImpact”) filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California alleging that various IQVIA entities (IQVIA Inc., IQVIA AG, and IQVIA Ltd.) and two IQVIA employees in the Middle East misappropriated its intellectual property, in violation of, among other things, the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”) and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). In particular, MedImpact alleges that IQVIA acquired Dimensions to obtain access to MedImpact’s intellectual property and then used that access to misappropriate and misuse MedImpact's intellectual property. MedImpact claims damages of approximately $ 100 million and is seeking the trebling of its damages and reimbursement of its litigation expenses, including its attorneys’ fees. MedImpact further seeks to enjoin IQVIA from continuing to misuse its intellectual property. IQVIA rejects the claims raised by MedImpact and is vigorously defending IQVIA’s position. The parties have mostly completed discovery and await the Court’s decisions on numerous motions, including motions for summary judgment. A trial date is anticipated in 2023.
On December 13, 2021, IQVIA filed suit against MedImpact in the same California federal court, alleging that MedImpact and a former executive misappropriated and misused IQVIA’s intellectual property received in the same prior joint venture, in violation of, among other things, the DTSA and RICO. IQVIA seeks treble damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and to enjoin MedImpact from continuing to misuse its intellectual property.
9. Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1.0 million shares of preferred stock, $ 0.01 per share par value. No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Equity Repurchase Program
On February 10, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) increased the stock repurchase authorization under the Company's equity repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) with respect to the repurchase of the Company’s common stock by an additional $ 2.0 billion, which increased the total amount that has been authorized under the Repurchase Program to $ 9.725 billion since the plan’s inception in October 2013. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified, extended, suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 4.5 million shares of its common stock for $ 993 million under the Repurchase Program. These amounts include approximately 0.5 million of shares valued at approximately $ 100 million, which were accrued for as of June 30, 2022 based on the terms of the transactions. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has remaining authorization to repurchase up to approximately $ 1.5 billion of its common stock under the Repurchase Program. In addition, from time to time, the Company has repurchased and may continue to repurchase common stock through private or other transactions outside of the Repurchase Program.
10. Business Combinations
The Company completed several individually immaterial acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s assessment of fair value, including the valuation of certain identified intangibles, and the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions is preliminary and subject to change upon completion. Further adjustments may be necessary as additional information related to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is assessed during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The Company recorded goodwill from these acquisitions, primarily attributable to assembled workforce and expected synergies. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the acquisitions subsequent to their respective closing dates. Pro forma information is not presented as pro forma results of operations would not be materially different to the actual results of operations of the Company.

11. Restructuring
The Company has continued to take restructuring actions in 2022 to align its resources and reduce overcapacity to adapt to changing market conditions and integrate acquisitions. These actions include consolidating functional activities, eliminating redundant positions, and aligning resources with customer requirements. These restructuring actions are expected to continue into 2023.
The following amounts were recorded for the restructuring plans:
(in millions) Severance and
Related Costs
Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 30
Expense, net of reversals 11
Payments ( 16 )
Foreign currency translation and other ( 2 )
Balance as of June 30, 2022 $ 23
The reversals were due to changes in estimates primarily from the redeployment of staff and higher than expected voluntary terminations. Restructuring costs are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments as they are not part of the segment performance measures regularly reviewed by management. The Company expects that the majority of the restructuring accruals as of June 30, 2022 will be paid in 2022 and 2023.
