The Worldpay acquisition dominates the risk picture, introducing substantive integration, synergy-realization, and client-retention uncertainty across multiple dimensions simultaneously. Credit loss exposure deteriorated sharply — allowance for credit losses more than doubled to $50.2M — while new enterprise merchant concentration risk and escalated AI-related regulatory exposure add further pressure. A meaningful reduction in goodwill as a share of total assets (75% to 40%) and the removal of Issuer Solutions concentration risk provide partial offsets but do not neutralize the acquisition-driven worsening.
