GAAP Results

Revenue from continuing operations increased 4.3% to $1.43 billion in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $1.37 billion in the third quarter of 2010, which included an $83.3 million termination fee related to the card processing joint venture in Brazil. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders totaled $145.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $134.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

EBITDA increased 2.7% to $438.0 million compared to EBITDA of $426.6 million, as adjusted, in the third quarter of 2010. EBITDA margin was 30.7% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 33.1%, as adjusted, in the prior year quarter. EBITDA margin in the current year quarter reflects the addition of Capco, continued growth in lower margin services revenue, as well as approximately $10.1 million of integration, severance and merger and acquisition costs. EBITDA in the prior year quarter included a benefit of approximately $10.0 million for reimbursed legal fees.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations totaled $188.8 million compared to $176.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted earnings per share increased 19.2% to $0.62 compared to $0.52 in the prior year quarter.

Free cash flow was $193.4 million compared to free cash flow of $220.4 million, as adjusted, in the 2010 quarter. 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.

"Excellent growth in International Solutions drove solid top-line performance and contributed to the strong 19.2% growth in adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter," stated Frank Martire, president and chief executive officer, FIS. "We remain focused on providing solutions that enable our clients to drive growth, optimize efficiency and meet their overall business objectives."

Segment Information

The following is a discussion of third quarter results by segment:

• Financial Solutions:

Third quarter 2011 Financial Solutions revenue increased 7.8% to $523.2 million compared to $485.5 million in the 2010 quarter, driven by the addition of Capco's North American operations, growth in account processing and higher services revenue. Financial Solutions revenue increased 0.6% on an organic basis. Financial Solutions EBITDA increased 1.9% to $224.0 million compared to $219.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. The EBITDA margin was 42.8% compared to 45.3% in the prior year quarter, reflecting the addition of Capco, lower license revenue, growth in lower margin services and approximately $1.7 million in integration and severance costs in the third quarter of 2011.

• Payment Solutions:

Third quarter 2011 Payment Solutions revenue increased 0.5% to $603.7 million compared to $600.6 million in the 2010 quarter. Payment Solutions revenue increased 2.0% excluding a $6.4 million decline in the check-related businesses. Payment Solutions EBITDA totaled $229.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $230.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. The decline was due primarily to $4.3 million of integration and severance costs that are included in the current year quarter. The EBITDA margin was 38.0% compared to 38.4% in the prior year quarter.

• International Solutions:

International Solutions revenue increased 49.3% to $297.7 million compared to $199.4 million in the 2010 quarter, and increased 21.9% on an organic basis. The strong performance was driven primarily by continued strong growth in Brazil card processing and Capco's European business. International Solutions EBITDA increased 44.1% to $67.0 million compared to $46.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. Integration and severance costs of approximately $1.2 million are included in the current year quarter. The EBITDA margin was 22.5% compared to 23.3% in the prior year quarter, reflecting the addition of Capco.

• Corporate/Other:

Corporate expense totaled $82.6 million in the third quarter 2011, compared to $70.6 million in the prior year quarter. As previously disclosed, the prior year quarter included a benefit of approximately $10.0 million related to the reimbursement of legal expenses. Integration, severance and merger and acquisition costs of approximately $2.9 million are included in the current year quarter.

Net interest expense totaled $60.5 million compared to $60.9 million in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate declined to 30.6% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 36.6% in the prior year quarter due to the implementation of state and federal tax planning strategies and a non-recurring benefit related to the Company's international business. FIS anticipates that the full year tax rate for 2011 will be approximately 33%.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $386.8 million as of September 30, 2011. Debt outstanding totaled approximately $4.9 billion as of September 30, 2011. Capital expenditures totaled $82.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $93.1 million in capital expenditures in the prior year quarter.

Free cash flow totaled $193.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to adjusted free cash flow of $220.4 million in the 2010 quarter due primarily to higher interest payments in the current year.

2011 Outlook

FIS updated its outlook for full year 2011 as follows:

• Revenue growth of approximately 10% (approximately 5% organic revenue growth);
• EBITDA growth of approximately 4% to 5%;
• Adjusted net earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.24 to $2.30;
• Free cash flow in excess of adjusted net earnings.

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 adjusted revenue, organic revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted net earnings, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted revenue (2010 comparative data) excludes the impact of deferred revenue purchase accounting and a settlement related to the card processing joint venture in Brazil. Organic revenue (2011 and 2010 comparative data) 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 2011, the impact of deferred revenue purchase accounting in 2010 and a settlement related to the card processing joint venture in Brazil. Adjusted EBITDA (2010 comparative data) excludes the impact of merger and acquisition and integration expenses, accelerated stock compensation charges associated with merger and acquisition activity, costs associated with the 2010 recapitalization plan, settlement revenue and an impairment charge related to the card processing joint venture in Brazil, deferred revenue purchase accounting and certain other costs. Adjusted net earnings (2010 comparative data) exclude the after-tax impact of merger and acquisition and integration expenses, accelerated stock compensation charges associated with merger and acquisition activity, costs associated with the 2010 recapitalization plan, an impairment charge and settlement related to the card processing joint venture in Brazil, acquisition related amortization, deferred revenue purchase accounting and certain other costs. Adjusted net earnings (2011 comparative data) exclude the after-tax impact of acquisition related amortization. Adjusted free cash flow (2010 comparative data) is GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures, acquisition related cash items and cash items associated with the 2010 recapitalization plan. Free cash flow (2011 comparative data) is GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures. 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION -- UNAUDITED

(In millions)

Notes to Unaudited - Supplemental GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The adjustments are as follows:

(1) This column represents (1) charges for restructuring and integration costs relating to merger and acquisition activities and (2) costs associated with the 2010 leveraged recapitalization plan. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the adjustments to "Selling, general and administrative" expenses primarily represent incremental transaction costs incurred by the Company related to the acquisition of Metavante Technologies, Inc., completed on October 1, 2009. The adjustments to "Other income (expense), net" represent certain costs associated with the leveraged recapitalization, the write-off of certain previously deferred debt issue costs associated with the amended and extended debt facility and the write-off of unamortized discount associated with the portion of the Metavante debt that was paid with the proceeds thereof.

(2) In August 2010, all documents required to affect a mutually agreeable exit for Banco Santander from the Brazil card processing Joint Venture were executed. Banco Santander paid a termination fee of approximately $83.3 million directly to FIS, which is included in Processing and Services Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Notes payable representing additional consideration which was to be paid to the banks upon migration of their card portfolios were forgiven and reduced by $19.4 million, representing Banco Santander's proportionate interest therein. Certain capitalized software development costs exclusively for use in processing Banco Santander card activity with a net unamortized balance of $14.6 million were written off. In addition, $140.3 million, representing the portion of the unamortized contract intangible asset recorded at the initiation of the Brazilian Venture that was attributable to Banco Santander was deemed impaired as a result of Santander's exit and charged to amortization expense.

(3) This column represents the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment to reduce Metavante's deferred revenues to estimated fair value, determined as fulfillment cost plus a normal profit margin. The deferred revenue adjustment represents revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by Metavante but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting requirements.

(4) This column represents purchase price amortization expense on intangible assets acquired through various Company acquisitions.

(5) During the 2011 and 2010 periods, certain operations are classified as discontinued. Reporting for discontinued operations classifies revenues and expenses as one line item net of tax in the consolidated statement of earnings. During the third quarter 2010, we determined that Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. ("Participacoes"), our item processing and remittance services business in Brazil should be treated as a discontinued operation. In January 2010, we closed on the sale of ClearPar. The table below outlines the components of discontinued operations for the periods presented, net of tax (in millions):
