Segment Information

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

• Financial Solutions:

Third quarter 2012 Financial Solutions revenue increased 8.1% to $565.7 million compared to $523.2 million in the 2011 quarter and rose 7.0% on an organic basis, driven by growth in processing revenue, consulting revenue and global commercial services. Financial Solutions EBITDA was $224.4 million compared to $224.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The EBITDA margin was 39.7% compared to 42.8% in the prior-year quarter. The decline was driven primarily by higher investments associated with information security and a change in revenue mix, including lower license revenue coupled with strong growth in services and consulting revenues.

• Payment Solutions:

Third quarter 2012 Payment Solutions revenue totaled $576.1 million compared to $575.7 million in the 2011 quarter. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by the deconversion of a large debit issuing client which offset strong growth in bill payment and network solutions. Payment Solutions revenue increased 1.6%, excluding the check related businesses, which totaled $106.9 million and $114.0 million in the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Payment Solutions EBITDA increased 6.1% to $234.6 million compared to $221.1 million in the 2011 quarter. The EBITDA margin increased 230 basis points to 40.7% compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting the benefits of ongoing expense management.

• International Solutions:

International Solutions revenue decreased 0.7% to $295.5 million compared to $297.7 million in the 2011 quarter and increased 11.9% on an organic basis driven by growth across all major regions. International Solutions EBITDA increased 6.6% to $71.4 million compared to $67.0 million in the third quarter of 2011, and the EBITDA margin expanded 170 basis points to 24.2% compared to the prior-year quarter.

• Corporate/Other:

Corporate expense, as adjusted, totaled $88.2 million in the third quarter 2012, compared to $81.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was due in part to higher investments associated with information security.

Net interest expense totaled $54.0 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $60.5 million in the 2011 quarter. The decrease was due primarily to lower borrowing rates and lower debt outstanding.

The effective tax rate increased to 34% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 30% in the third quarter of 2011 and 29% in the second quarter of 2012. The effective tax rates in both prior periods were reduced by the favorable resolution of certain tax positions taken by the Company. FIS anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 33% for full year 2012.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $576.6 million as of September 30, 2012. Debt outstanding totaled approximately $4.5 billion as of September 30, 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $255.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $275.5 million in the third quarter of 2011. Capital expenditures totaled $70.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $82.1 million in capital expenditures in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow, which excludes settlement activity related to the payments businesses, totaled $193.2 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $193.1 million in the 2011 quarter.

FIS repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares in the third quarter at a total cost of approximately $100 million. Year to date, FIS has repurchased 8.3 million shares at a total cost of approximately $251 million. Approximately $850 million remains under the existing share repurchase authorization.

Sale of Healthcare Benefit Solutions Business

On August 15, 2012, FIS completed the sale of its Healthcare Benefit Solutions business in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $335 million (approximately $220 million after tax). The Company incurred an after-tax GAAP loss of approximately $56 million related to the sale, which is included in discontinued operations. The Healthcare Benefit Solutions business is classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

2012 Outlook

The Company reiterated its full year 2012 outlook as follows:

• Organic revenue growth of 3% to 5%
• EBITDA growth of 5% to 7%, as adjusted
• EBITDA margin expansion of 40 to 80 basis points, as adjusted
• EPS from continuing operations of $2.45 to $2.55, as adjusted (+10% to 15% compared to full year 2011)

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 (EBITDA), 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 2012. Adjusted EBITDA (2012 comparative data) excludes accelerated vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock grants and costs related to a non-compete and change in role payment. Adjusted net earnings (2012 comparative data) exclude the after-tax impact of acquisition related amortization, debt refinancing costs, accelerated vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock grants and for a non-compete and change in role payment. Adjusted net earnings (2011 comparative data) exclude the after-tax impact of acquisition related amortization. Free cash flow is GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures and excludes the net change in settlement assets and obligations.

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.
