FIS Reports Second Quarter Results

• Revenue of $1.51 billion; up 4 percent for the quarter and year to date

• Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of 71 cents, up 8 percent for the quarter and 11 percent year to date

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FIS™ (NYS: FIS) , the world's largest provider of banking and payments technology, today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue increased 3.8 percent to $1.51 billion from $1.46 billion in the second quarter of 2012. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders totaled $91 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. These results included debt refinancing costs and an adjustment related to the December 2010 acquisition of Capco, FIS' global consulting business, which totaled $0.26 per share. In the prior-year quarter, GAAP net earnings from continuing operations were $156 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.

Second quarter revenue increased 3.7 percent on an organic basis compared to the second quarter of 2012, which excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency. Non-GAAP adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders increased to $209 million, up 5.5 percent from $198 million in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share increased 7.6 percent to $0.71 from $0.66 in the prior-year quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, FIS posted revenue of $2.99 billion, a 4.2 percent increase from $2.87 billion in the prior-year period. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders totaled $239 million, or $0.81 per diluted share. This included $0.24 per share in debt refinancing costs and the aforementioned Capco adjustment, which were partially offset by a gain resulting from the purchase of the remaining interest in shares of mFoundry. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations for the prior-year period were $0.83 per share and included $0.08 per share in debt refinancing costs, charges for accelerated vesting of certain equity grants and other compensation costs.

In the first half of 2013, FIS reported a 4.2 percent increase in organic revenue, a 10.3 percent increase in adjusted net earnings from continuing operations and a 10.8 percent increase in adjusted net earnings per share from continuing operations compared to the prior-year period.

"We are pleased with our financial results through the first half of 2013, which are in line with our expectations," said Frank Martire, chairman and CEO of FIS. "We remain focused on delivering strategic value to our clients, executing our global business strategy and driving higher returns for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Results

Organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, was 3.7 percent in the second quarter of 2013. EBITDA increased 2.8 percent to $450 million in the second quarter, as adjusted, from $438 million in the 2012 quarter. EBITDA margin was 29.8 percent versus 30.0 percent in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a less favorable revenue mix and higher information security costs.

Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures are provided in subsequent sections of the press release narrative and supplemental schedules.

Segment Information

The following discusses second quarter results by segment:

• Financial Solutions:

Revenue increased 4.2 percent to $587 million from $563 million a year earlier and rose 2.7 percent on an organic basis, driven by growth in eBanking solutions, global commercial services and consulting.

EBITDA margin expanded 120 basis points to 39.4 percent.

• Payment Solutions:

Revenue increased 2.8 percent to $623 million from $606 million in the 2012 quarter, reflecting growth in output solutions, bill payment services and card loyalty programs.

Revenue from the check-related businesses totaled $105 million and $109 million in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. EBITDA rose 5.3 percent to $263 million from $250 million a year earlier. EBITDA margin expanded 100 basis points to 42.2 percent.

• International Solutions:

Revenue increased 5.6 percent to $304 million from $287 million in the 2012 quarter. Revenue increased 7.9 percent on an organic basis, excluding an unfavorable currency impact of $7 million.

EBITDA increased 2.7 percent to $65 million from $63 million in the prior-year quarter. EBITDA margin was 21.4 percent compared to 22.0 percent in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a less favorable revenue mix.

• Corporate/Other:

Corporate costs, as adjusted, were $109 million in the second quarter 2013, up from $90 million in the prior year quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future.

These non-GAAP measures include organic revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net earnings and free cash flow. Organic revenue includes reported revenue plus pre-acquisition revenue for companies acquired during the applicable reporting periods. Organic revenue excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuation in 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA (2013 comparative data) excludes adjustments related to the December 2010 acquisition of Capco.

Adjusted EBITDA (2012 comparative data) excludes charges for payments and accelerated vesting of stock option and restricted stock grants associated with the departure or change in role of certain company executives.

Adjusted net earnings (2013 comparative data) exclude the after-tax impact of acquisition-related amortization, a net benefit related to a gain on the mFoundry acquisition, debt issuance and refinancing costs and adjustments related to the Capco acquisition.

Adjusted net earnings (2012 comparative data) exclude the after-tax impact of acquisition-related amortization, debt refinancing costs and charges for payments and accelerated vesting of stock option and restricted stock grants associated with the departure or change in role of certain company executives.

Free cash flow is GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures and excludes the net change in settlement assets and obligations. Free cash flow also excludes the premium related to the early redemption of senior notes.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings. Further, FIS' non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules and in the Investor Relations section of the FIS Web site, www.fisglobal.com.
