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. For these reasons, management also uses these measures in part to assess its performance.

These non-GAAP measures include constant currency revenue, adjusted revenue, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted cash flow from operations, adjusted net earnings (including per share amounts) and free cash flow.

Constant currency revenue is reported revenue excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in 2015. Growth in revenue presented on a constant currency basis reflects a comparison of constant currency revenue for 2015 against 2014 adjusted revenue.

Adjusted revenue (2014) includes reported revenue and is increased by $9 million for a negotiated contract cash settlement for the extinguishment of certain contractual minimums with a reseller. Although the 2014 cash settlement has no contractual performance obligation, under GAAP the cash settlement revenue is amortized in this circumstance over the remaining relationship with the reseller.

EBITDA is earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA (2015 comparative data) excludes certain acquisition, integration and severance costs as well as certain restructuring and other severance costs associated with the reorganization of the Company’s global operations and the formation of the Global Financial Solutions segment.

Adjusted EBITDA (2014 comparative data) includes the impact of the contract cash settlement revenue as described in the description of 2014 adjusted revenue above.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations (2015 comparative data) excludes the after tax impact of certain acquisition, integration and severance costs, certain restructuring and other severance costs associated with the reorganization of the Company’s global operations and the formation of the Global Financial Solutions segment, and acquisition-related amortization.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations (2014 comparative data) includes the after-tax impact of adjusted revenue and excludes the after tax impact of acquisition-related amortization.

Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, or adjusted EPS, is equal to adjusted net earnings divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted cash flow from continuing operations (2015 and 2014 comparative data) is GAAP cash flow from operations as adjusted for the net change in settlement assets and obligations, and excludes certain payments for contingent purchase price and incentive compensation programs associated with the 2010 acquisition of Capco.

Free cash flow is adjusted operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Free cash flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure.

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 measures. 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 website, www.fisglobal.com.

The adjustments are as follows:

(1) Severance costs incurred in connection with the reorganization and streamlining of operations in our Global Financial Solutions segment in order to focus on growth and specific market demands of clientele in that market.

(2) This column represents non-recurring transaction and other costs, including integration activities, related to recent acquisitions and other severance costs.

(3) The revenue adjustment in this column represents a cash settlement for the extinguishment of certain contractual minimums with a reseller. Although the 2014 cash settlement has no contract performance obligation, revenue is amortized in this circumstance over the remaining relationship with the reseller.

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

(5) During the 2015 and 2014 periods, certain operations were classified as discontinued. Reporting for discontinued operations classifies revenues and expenses as one line item net of tax in the consolidated statements of earnings. The table below outlines the components of discontinued operations for the periods presented, net of tax. During the second quarter of 2014, management committed to a plan to sell our primary business operations in China because they do not align with our strategic plans. The activity for Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. ("Participacoes"), our former item processing and remittance services business in Brazil, relates to the ongoing settlement of labor claims as a result of the dismissal of employees in that business.
