Headwinds

- Full year 2022 Revenue and Adjusted Revenue were lower than the prior year period, primarily driven by significant, non-recurring stimulus payments volume in our Government Services business in the prior year, recessionary-related volume reductions in our Commercial business, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impact, particularly from the Euro and British pound.
