  • Reported revenue grew 46.2 percent, and organic revenue grew 3.8 percent
  • Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.56, and Adjusted EPS was $1.00
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $522 million and free cash flow of $426 million

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2016-- FIS™ (NYSE:FIS), a global leader in financial services technology, today reported that third quarter revenue increased 46.2 percent on a reported basis to $2.3 billion from $1.6 billion in the prior year quarter. Operating income increased 17.7 percent to $398 million in the third quarter of 2016, from $338 million in the prior year quarter, with operating income margin of 17.2 percent for the quarter. Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $185 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $175 million, or $0.62 per diluted share in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 9.7 percent on a per share basis.

For the third quarter, organic revenue increased 3.8 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.7 percent to $766 million in the third quarter 2016, from $712 million adjusted combined EBITDA in the prior year quarter, while adjusted EBITDA margin was 32.7 percent. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $330 million for the quarter, or $1.00 per share compared to $0.90 per share in the prior year period, an increase of 11.1 percent.

“FIS’ consistently strong performance in 2016 continues with our third quarter results, delivering profitable growth and strong cash flow,” said Gary Norcross, president and chief executive officer. “We are executing well, on track for the full year and focused on exceeding our plan, ensuring that we continue to deliver shareholder value.”

The comparisons of reported results for 2016 to those in 2015 remain significantly impacted by the acquisition of SunGard, which closed on November 30, 2015, and will continue to be impacted for the remainder of 2016.

Segment Information

  • Integrated Financial Solutions (IFS):

Third quarter reported revenue grew 19.2 percent to $1.1 billion from $944 million reported in the prior year quarter. Organic revenue grew 4.1 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.0 percent to $457 million from $453 million adjusted combined EBITDA in the prior year quarter, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 40.7 percent. Adjusted combined EBITDA for the prior year quarter was $49 million greater than Adjusted EBITDA in the prior year quarter due to the acquisition of SunGard.

  • Global Financial Solutions (GFS):

Third quarter reported revenue grew 98.1 percent to $1.1 billion from $539 million reported in the prior year quarter. Organic revenue grew 4.5 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.3 percent to $343 million from $303 million adjusted combined EBITDA in the prior year quarter, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 32.1 percent. Adjusted combined EBITDA for the prior year quarter was $162 million greater than Adjusted EBITDA in the prior year quarter due to the acquisition of SunGard.

  • Corporate / Other:

Third quarter reported revenue increased 21.4 percent to $117 million compared to $96 million in the prior year quarter. Organic revenue declined 1.9 percent. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $34 million and is inclusive of $75 million of corporate expenses.

Third quarter interest expense, net of interest income, was $98 million. The effective tax rate was 35.0 percent in the third quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $701 million and debt outstanding totaled $10.8 billion. Third quarter net cash provided by operating activities was $522 million and free cash flow was $426 million. The company paid dividends in the third quarter totaling $84 million.

2016 Guidance

  • Organic revenue growth of approximately 4.5 percent, versus prior guidance of 4 to 5 percent; and
  • Adjusted EPS of $3.80 to $3.85, versus prior guidance of $3.75 to $3.85.

FIS has not provided a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures because such measures are not available at this time without unreasonable efforts. The significant impact of the SunGard acquisition, including among other things, the timing and amount of integration and severance costs, and the transition of systems, facilities and personnel, make it difficult to provide meaningful and comparable GAAP guidance.

Webcast

FIS will announce third quarter 2016 financial results on Tuesday, November 1st prior to market open. The company will sponsor a live webcast of its earnings conference call with the investment community beginning at 8:30 a.m. (EST) Tuesday, November 1st. To access the webcast, go to the Investor Relations section of FIS’ homepage, www.fisglobal.com. A replay will be available after the conclusion of the live webcast.

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, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP measures include adjusted revenue, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted combined revenue, adjusted combined EBITDA, adjusted combined EBITDA margin, constant currency revenue, organic revenue growth, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations (including per share amounts), adjusted cash flow from operations, and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures may be used in this release and/or in the attached supplemental financial information.

We believe these non-GAAP measures help investors better understand the underlying fundamentals of our business. As further described below, the non-GAAP revenue and earnings measures presented eliminate items management believes are not indicative of FIS’s core operating performance. The “adjusted combined” revenue and earnings measures additionally provide information that adjusts for our acquisition of SunGard in November 2015, to improve comparability across reporting periods. The “constant currency” and “organic revenue” measures adjust for the effects of exchange rate fluctuations, while organic revenue also adjusts for acquisitions and divestitures, giving investors further insight into our core performance. Finally, the non-GAAP cash flow measures provide further information about the ability of our business to generate cash. For these reasons, management also uses these non-GAAP measures in its assessment and management of FIS’s performance.

Adjusted revenue consists of reported revenue, increased to reverse the purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment made upon the acquisition of SunGard. The deferred revenue adjustment represents revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by SunGard under GAAP but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting adjustments. The deferred revenue adjustment in purchase accounting was made entirely in the Corporate and Other segment; reported GAAP results for the IFS and GFS segments are not affected by this adjustment and therefore no adjusted revenue is presented for these segments.

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

Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain costs and other transactions which management deems non-operational in nature, the removal of which improves comparability of operating results across reporting periods. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted revenue.

Adjusted combined revenue includes reported revenue for FIS and SunGard combined for periods in 2015 and excludes the impacts of SunGard businesses that were divested prior to SunGard being purchased by FIS.

Adjusted combined EBITDA includes EBITDA for FIS and SunGard combined for periods in 2015 and excludes certain costs and other transactions which management deems non-operational in nature, such as purchase accounting amortization, acquisition, integration and severance costs and restructuring costs, the removal of which improves comparability of operating results across reporting periods.

Adjusted combined EBITDA margin reflects adjusted combined EBITDA divided by adjusted combined revenue.

Constant currency revenue represents (i) adjusted revenue in respect of the consolidated results and corporate segment and (ii) reported revenue in respect of the IFS and GFS segments, in each case excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the current period.

Organic revenue growth is constant currency revenue, as defined above, for the 2016 period compared to an adjusted revenue base for the 2015 period which consists of adjusted combined revenue, further adjusted to exclude revenue of any divestitures by FIS and include pre-acquisition revenue for companies acquired by FIS, in addition to SunGard, during the applicable reporting period.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations excludes the impact of certain costs and other transactions which management deems non-operational in nature, the removal of which improves comparability of operating results across reporting periods. It also excludes the impact of acquisition-related purchase accounting amortization, which is recurring.

Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, or Adjusted EPS, reflects adjusted net earnings from continuing operations divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted cash flow from operations reflects GAAP cash flow from operations as adjusted for the net change in settlement assets and obligations, and excludes certain transactions that are closely associated with non-operating activities or are otherwise non-operational in nature and not indicative of future operating cash flows.

Free cash flow reflects adjusted cash flow from operations 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, including footnotes describing the specific adjustments, are provided in the attached schedules and in the Investor Relations section of the FIS web site, www.fisglobal.com.

In accordance with the accounting guidance, contingent purchase price payments are included in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows only to the extent they represent the original liability established at the acquisition date. Payments related to subsequent adjustments to the contingent purchase price are included in the net cash provided by operating activities.
(2) Adjusted cash flow from operations and free cash flow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 excludes cash payments for certain acquisition, integration and severance expenses, net of related tax impact. The related tax impact totaled $27 million and $11 million for the three months and $70 million and $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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, 2016 and 2015.

The adjustments are as follows:
 
(1)   This item represents purchase price amortization expense on all intangible assets acquired through various Company acquisitions, including customer relationships, contract value, trademarks and tradenames, and non-compete agreements. Beginning with the November 2015 acquisition of SunGard, this column also includes the amortization associated with purchase price adjustments to technology assets acquired. The allocation of purchase price for SunGard to assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2016 is provisional and may be adjusted in future periods. The financial statements will not be retrospectively adjusted for any adjustments to provisional amounts that occur in subsequent periods. Rather, we will recognize any adjustments in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined. We are also required to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of any change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.
 
(2) This item represents certain costs and other transactions which management deems non-operational primarily related to integration and severance activity from the SunGard acquisition.
 
(3) This item represents the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment to reduce SunGard'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 SunGard under GAAP if the acquisition had not occurred, but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting requirements.
 
(4) Global Restructure represents severance costs incurred during the first quarter of 2015 in connection with the reorganization and streamlining of operations in our Global Financial Solutions segment.
 
(5) This item represents the write-off of certain previously capitalized debt issuance costs and the payment associated with the early termination of certain interest rate swaps resulting from the repayment of amounts due under our credit facilities during the third quarter of 2016.
 
(6) This item represents the gain on the sale of check warranty contracts and other assets in the gaming industry. The sale did not meet the standard necessary to be reported as discontinued operations and, therefore, the gain and related prior period earnings remain reported within earnings from continuing operations.
 
(7) The adjusted financial information excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, as well as the impact from the acquisition deferred revenue adjustment arising from the SunGard Acquisition as those impacts would be eliminated in the preparation of adjusted combined information. It also excludes (i) revenues and cost of revenues from businesses disposed of by SunGard in 2015 and (ii) SunGard's historical expense prior to its acquisition by FIS for amortization of purchased intangibles acquired by SunGard.
