Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation FIS is a leading global provider dedicated to banking and payments technologies. We offer financial institution core processing, card issuer and transaction processing services, including the NYCE Network, a leading national electronic funds transfer (EFT) network. Our business operations and organizational structure result from the February 1, 2006, business combination of FIS and Certegy (the "Certegy Merger"). FIS was viewed as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our financial statements and other disclosures for periods prior to the Certegy Merger treat FIS as our predecessor company. Immediately after the Certegy Merger, the name of the SEC registrant was changed to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. We report the results of our operations in four reporting segments: 1) Financial Solutions Group (“FSG”), 2) Payment Solutions Group (“PSG”), 3) International Solutions Group (“ISG”) and 4) Corporate and Other (Note 19).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Dec. 31, 2011

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following describes the significant accounting policies of the Company used in preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a)Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FIS, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries that are majority owned. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand, money market funds and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As part of the Company’s payment processing business, the Company provides cash settlement services to financial institutions and state and local governments. These services involve the movement of funds between the various parties associated with ATM, point-of-sale or electronic benefit transactions (EBT) and this activity results in a balance due to the Company at the end of each business day that it recoups over the next few business days. The in-transit balances due to the Company are included in cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value. As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $415.5 million of which approximately $246.3 million is held by our foreign entities.

(c)Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of their immediate or short-term maturities. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $88.6 million and $110.8 million higher than the carrying value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These estimates are based on values of trades of our debt in close proximity to year end, which are considered Level 2-type measurements, as discussed below. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. Therefore, the values presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize or settle currently. The Company holds, or has held, certain derivative instruments, specifically interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. Derivative instruments are valued using Level 2-type measurements.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The authoritative accounting literature defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value.

The fair value hierarchy includes three levels which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). If the inputs used to measure the fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2. Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;


•	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles require that, subsequent to their initial recognition, certain assets be reviewed for impairment on a nonrecurring basis by comparison to their fair value. As more fully discussed in their respective subheadings below, this includes goodwill, long-lived assets, intangible assets, computer software and investments. Following is a summary of the fair value measurement impairments recognized in 2011 and 2010 for assets measured at fair value:

(2)	Impairment charges related to the write down of property and equipment and intangible assets related to Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. (“Participacoes”) classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Note 3).

Contingent consideration liabilities recorded in connection with business acquisitions must also be adjusted for changes in fair value until settled. See Note 5 for discussion of the Capco contingent consideration liability, which was reduced by $22.3 million in 2011 based on forecasts of achievement of targeted operating performance (Level 3 measurement).

(d)Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company engaged in hedging activities relating to its variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company designates these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The estimated fair values of the cash flow hedges are recorded as an asset or liability of the Company and are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets, other non-current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities, as appropriate, and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings, net of deferred taxes. A portion of the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings is recorded in interest expense as a yield adjustment as interest payments are made on the Company’s Term and Revolving Loans (Note 13). The Company’s existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there was no impact on 2011 earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our policy to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2011, we believe that our interest rate swap counterparties will be able to fulfill their obligations under our agreements.

Our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and options, to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. During 2011, we entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $59.4 million and $56.5 million, respectively and the fair value was nominal. These derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

(e)Trade Receivables

A summary of trade receivables, net, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):



	2011			2010
Trade receivables — billed	$	760.8		$	725.3
Trade receivables — unbilled	130.8			147.2
Total trade receivables	891.6			872.5
Allowance for doubtful accounts	(33.1		)	(33.1		)
Total trade receivables, net	$	858.5		$	839.4

When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, changes in customer payment terms and collection trends. Any change in the assumptions used may result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

A summary roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts, as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in millions):



Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008	$	(40.6	)
Bad debt expense	(27.6		)
Write-offs	26.4
Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2009	(41.8		)
Bad debt expense	(16.5		)
Write-offs	25.2
Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2010	(33.1		)
Bad debt expense	(6.5		)
Write-offs	6.5
Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011	$	(33.1	)

Settlement Deposits, Receivables, and Payables. The Company records settlement receivables and payables that result from timing differences in the Company’s settlement processes with merchants, financial institutions, and credit card associations related to merchant and card transaction processing and third-party check collections. Cash held by FIS associated with this settlement process is classified as settlement deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(f)Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, requires that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should not be amortized, but shall be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter using a September 30th measurement date unless circumstances require a more frequent measurement.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company early adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Prior guidance required entities to perform an annual quantitative test, calculating and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount ("step one"). The revised standard allows an entity first to assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent), the step one quantitative assessment must be performed for that reporting unit. ASU 2011-08 provided examples of events and circumstances that should be considered in performing the "step zero" qualitative assessment, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, events affecting a reporting unit or the entity as a whole and a sustained decrease in share price. There was a substantial excess of fair value over carrying value for each of our reporting units in the 2010 step one analysis. In performing the 2011 step zero qualitative analysis, examining those factors most likely to affect our valuations, we concluded that it remains more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units continues to exceed their carrying amounts. Consequently, we did not perform a step one analysis in 2011.

(g)Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, which are Level 3-type measurements. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

(h)Intangible Assets

The Company has intangible assets which consist primarily of customer relationships and trademarks that are recorded in connection with acquisitions at their fair value based on the results of valuation analysis. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives using an accelerated method which takes into consideration expected customer attrition rates up to a ten-year period. Intangible assets with estimated useful lives (principally customer relationships and certain trademarks) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Section 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, while certain trademarks determined to have indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350.

(i)Computer Software

Computer software includes software acquired in business combinations, purchased software and capitalized software development costs. Purchased software is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life and software acquired in business combinations is recorded at its fair value and amortized using straight-line or accelerated methods over its estimated useful life, ranging from five to ten years.

The capitalization of software development costs is governed by FASB ASC Subtopic 985-20 if the software is to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, or by FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40 if the software is for internal use. After the technological feasibility of the software has been established (for software to be marketed), or at the beginning of application development (for internal-use software), software development costs, which include salaries and related payroll costs and costs of independent contractors incurred during development, are capitalized. Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility (for software to be marketed), or prior to application development (for internal-use software), are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are amortized on a product by product basis commencing on the date of general release of the products (for software to be marketed) or the date placed in service (for internal-use software). Software development costs for software to be marketed are amortized using the greater of (1) the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which ranges from three to ten years, or (2) the ratio of current revenues to total anticipated revenue over its useful life.

(j)Deferred Contract Costs

Costs of software sales and outsourced data processing and application management arrangements, including costs incurred for bid and proposal activities, are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of a contract, including sales commissions, are deferred and expensed over the contract life. These costs represent incremental external costs or certain specific internal costs that are directly related to the contract acquisition or transition activities.

In the event indications exist that a particular deferred contract cost balance may be impaired, undiscounted estimated cash flows of the contract are projected over its remaining term and compared to the unamortized deferred contract cost balance. If the projected cash flows are not adequate to recover the unamortized cost balance, the balance would be adjusted to equal the contract’s net realizable value, including any termination fees provided for under the contract, in the period such a determination is made.

(k)Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets: thirty years for buildings and three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the initial term of the applicable lease or the estimated useful lives of such

assets.

(l)Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred income taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period enacted.

(m)Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from the delivery of bank processing, credit and debit card processing services, other payment processing services, professional services, software licensing and software related services. The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is considered probable.

The following describes the Company’s primary types of revenues and its revenue recognition policies as they pertain to the types of transactions the Company enters into with its customers. The Company enters into arrangements with customers to provide services, software and software-related services such as post-contract customer support and implementation and training either individually or as part of an integrated offering of multiple services. The revenues for services provided under these multiple element arrangements are recognized in accordance with the applicable revenue recognition accounting principles as further described below.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This standard revised the guidance for determining whether multiple deliverables in an arrangement can be separated for revenue recognition and how the consideration should be allocated. It eliminated the use of the residual method of revenue recognition, except where subject to FASB ASC Subtopic 985-605 for software-related elements, and requires the allocation of consideration to each deliverable using the relative selling price method. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE or TPE is available. A deliverable in a multiple element arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting if (a) the item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; and (b) the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the item is considered probable and substantially in the Company's control. FIS early adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 prospectively for all new and materially modified arrangements after January 1, 2010. Processing and services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been approximately $19.3 million less than reported if the new or materially modified arrangements after January 1, 2010 had been subject to the prior accounting guidance. ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on revenue recognition due to the existence of VSOE for most of the Company's solutions.

We establish VSOE of selling price using the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or in the case of post-contract customer support or other recurring services, when a substantive stated renewal rate is provided to the customer. In certain limited circumstances, the Company is not able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in a multiple element arrangement. This may be due to infrequent standalone sales for an element, a limited sales history for new solutions or pricing within a broader range than permissible by our policy to establish VSOE. In those circumstances, we proceed to the alternative levels in the hierarchy of determining selling price. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. The Company is typically not able to determine TPE and we rarely use this measure since we are generally unable to reliably verify standalone prices of competitive solutions. ESP is established in those instances where neither VSOE nor TPE are available, considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, customer segment pricing strategies and the product life cycle. Consideration is also given to market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies and industry technology life cycles.

The Company's arrangements with multiple deliverables may include one or more elements that are subject to the software revenue recognition guidance. The consideration for these multiple element arrangements is allocated to the software deliverables and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the elements in the arrangement using the hierarchy in ASU 2009-13. The appropriate revenue recognition guidance is then applied to the respective software and non-software elements.

Processing Services

Processing services include data processing and application management. Revenues from processing services are typically volume-based depending on factors such as the number of accounts processed, transactions processed and computer resources utilized. Revenues from these arrangements are recognized as services are performed.

A relatively small percentage of credit card processing revenue is generated from the merchant institution processing business, where the relationship is with the financial institution that contracts directly with the merchant. In this business, the Company is responsible for collecting and settling interchange fees with the credit card associations. Whether a company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. Certain factors or indicators have been identified in the authoritative literature that should be considered in the evaluation. As a result of changes in contractual relationships in 2010, certain interchange revenues that the company had previously recorded gross, with related expenses recorded to cost of revenue, are now recorded net.

Professional Service Revenues

Revenues and costs related to implementation, conversion and programming services associated with the Company’s data processing and application management agreements during the implementation phase are deferred and subsequently recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the related services agreement when these upfront services do not have standalone value. Revenues and costs related to other consulting service agreements are recognized as the services are provided, assuming the separation criteria outlined above are satisfied.

License and Software Related Revenues

The Company recognizes software license and post-contract customer support fees as well as associated implementation, training, conversion and programming fees in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 985-605. Initial license fees are recognized when a contract exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, software delivery has occurred and collection of the receivable is deemed probable, provided that VSOE of fair value has been established for any undelivered elements. VSOE for each element is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or in the case of post-contract customer support, when a substantive stated renewal rate is provided to the customer. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. If evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more undelivered elements of a contract, then all revenue is deferred until all elements are delivered or fair value is determined for all remaining undelivered elements. Revenue from post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company records deferred revenue for all billings invoiced prior to revenue recognition.

With respect to a small percentage of revenues, the Company uses contract accounting when the arrangement with the customer includes significant customization, modification, or production of software. For elements accounted for under contract accounting, revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method since reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and contract hours applicable to various elements of a contract can be made. Cost-to-cost or efforts-expended (labor hours) methods are used to measure progress toward completion. Revenues in excess of billings on these agreements are recorded as unbilled receivables and are included in trade receivables. Billings in excess of revenue recognized on these agreements are recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. When the Company’s estimates indicate that the entire contract will be performed at a loss, a provision for the entire loss is recorded in that accounting period.

In arrangements where the licensed software includes hosting the software for the customer, a software element is only considered present if the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty and it is feasible for the customer to either operate the software on their own hardware or contract with another vendor to host the software. If the arrangement meets these criteria, as well as the other criteria for recognition of the license revenues described above, a software element is present and license revenues are recognized when the software is delivered and hosting revenues are recognized as the service is provided. If a separate software element as described above is not present, the related revenues are combined and recognized ratably over the hosting or maintenance period, whichever is longer.

Hardware revenue is recognized as a delivered element following the separation and recognition criteria discussed above. The Company does not stock in inventory the hardware products sold, but arranges for delivery of hardware from third-party suppliers. The Company has evaluated the gross vs. net indicators for these transactions and records the revenue related to hardware transactions on a gross basis and the related costs are included in cost of revenue as the Company is considered the primary obligor by the customer, bears risk of loss, and has latitude in establishing prices on the equipment.

(n)Cost of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Cost of revenue includes payroll, employee benefits, occupancy costs and other costs associated with personnel employed in customer service roles, including program design and development and professional services. Cost of revenue also includes data processing costs, amortization of software, customer relationship intangible assets and depreciation on operating assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, occupancy and other costs associated with personnel employed in sales, marketing, human resources, finance and other administrative roles. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation on non-operating corporate assets, advertising costs and other marketing-related programs.

(o)Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method. Thus, compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and is recognized over the service period.

(p)Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for the foreign operations of the Company is either the U.S. Dollar or the local currency. For foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency, the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Earnings and are excluded from net earnings. The cumulative translation adjustment balance was $43.4 million and $92.3 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Realized gains or losses resulting from other foreign currency transactions are included in other income.

(q)Management Estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(r)Check Guarantee Reserves

In the Company’s check guarantee business, if a guaranteed check presented to a merchant customer is dishonored by the check writer’s bank, the Company reimburses the merchant customer for the check’s face value and pursues collection of the amount from the delinquent check writer. Loss reserves and anticipated recoveries are primarily determined by performing a historical analysis of the Company’s check loss and recovery experience and considering other factors that could affect that experience in the future. Such factors include the general economy, the overall industry mix of customer volumes, statistical analysis of check fraud trends within customer volumes, and the quality of returned checks. Once these factors are considered, the Company establishes a rate for check losses that is calculated by dividing the expected check losses by dollar volume processed and a rate for anticipated recoveries that is calculated by dividing the anticipated recoveries by the total amount of related check losses. These rates are then applied against the dollar volume processed and check losses, respectively, each month and charged to cost of revenue. The estimated check returns and recovery amounts are subject to risk that actual amounts returned and recovered may be different than the Company’s estimates. The Company had accrued claims payable balances of $17.8 million and $18.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to these estimations. The Company had accrued claims recoverable of $20.9 million and $20.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to these estimations. In addition, the Company recorded check guarantee losses, net of anticipated recoveries excluding service fees, of $68.0 million, $69.4 million and $83.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount paid to merchant customers, net of amounts recovered from check writers excluding service fees, was $61.0 million, $64.0 million and $72.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(s)Net Earnings per Share

The basic weighted average shares and common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are computed using the treasury stock method.

Net earnings and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are as follows (in millions, except per share data):



	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to FIS, net of tax	$	493.8		$	447.6		$	106.4
Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to FIS, net of tax	(24.2		)	(43.1		)	(0.5		)
Net earnings attributable to FIS	$	469.6		$	404.5		$	105.9
Weighted average shares outstanding — basic	300.6			345.1			236.4
Plus: Common stock equivalent shares	6.4			6.9			3.0
Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted	307.0			352.0			239.4
Net earnings per share — basic from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	1.64		$	1.30		$	0.45
Net earnings (loss) per share — basic from discontinued operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	(0.08		)	(0.12		)	—
Net earnings per share — basic attributable to FIS common stockholders *	$	1.56		$	1.17		$	0.45
Net earnings per share — diluted from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	1.61		$	1.27		$	0.44
Net earnings (loss) per share — diluted from discontinued operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	(0.08		)	(0.12		)	—
Net earnings per share — diluted attributable to FIS common stockholders *	$	1.53		$	1.15		$	0.44

* amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Options to purchase approximately 7.9 million, 5.6 million and 12.3 million shares of our common stock for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

(t)Certain Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2010 and 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the classifications used in 2011.

Discontinued Operations	12 Months Ended
Discontinued Operations	Dec. 31, 2011
Discontinued Operations [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations Certain operations are reported as discontinued in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Brazil Item Processing and Remittance Services Operations During the third quarter of 2010, the Company decided to pursue strategic alternatives for Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda. (“Participacoes”). Participacoes had revenues of $11.7 million, $61.5 million and $58.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participacoes had losses before taxes of $36.6 million, $63.5 million and $7.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participacoes' processing volume was transitioned to other vendors or back to its customers during the second quarter of 2011. As a result of the dismissal of employees related to the shut-down activities which have now been completed, the year ended December 31, 2011 included charges of $34.6 million to settle or increase our reserve for potential labor claims. Former employees have up to two years from the date of termination to file labor claims. Consequently, we expect to have continued exposure to such claims, which were not transferred with other assets and liabilities in the disposal. Our accrued liability for labor claims is $31.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Any changes in the estimated liability related to these labor claims will be recorded as discontinued operations. ClearPar On October 30, 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell ClearPar, LLC ("ClearPar") because its operations did not align with our strategic plans. The net assets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2009, and the transaction was closed on January 1, 2010. We received cash proceeds of $71.5 million. ClearPar had revenues of $20.8 million and earnings before taxes of $12.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2009.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the facts and circumstances leading to the completed or expected disposal, manner and timing of disposal, the gain (loss) recognized in the income statement and the income statement caption that includes that gain (loss), amounts of revenues and pretax profit or loss reported in discontinued operations, the segment in which the disposal group was reported, and the classification (whether sold or classified as held for sale) and carrying value of the assets and liabilities comprising the disposal group. Includes all disposal groups, including those classified as components of the entity (discontinued operations).

Brazilian Venture

See Note 6 for a discussion of the Brazilian outsourced card-processing venture (the “Brazilian Venture”). Banco Santander terminated its participation in the Brazilian Venture effective August 5, 2010. The revenue items with Banco Santander are, therefore, summarized above through that date.

FNF

We provide data processing services to FNF, our former parent, consisting primarily of infrastructure support and data center management. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of FIS is currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors of FNF. Our agreement with FNF runs through September 30, 2013, with an option to renew for one or two additional years, subject to certain early termination provisions (including the payment of minimum monthly service and termination fees). Additionally, FNF provides certain risk management support services to us at cost. We also incurred expenses for amounts paid by us to FNF under cost-sharing agreements to use certain corporate aircraft and lease certain real estate. During the 2009 third quarter, FNF entered into a transaction that triggered the repayment of a $5.9 million note payable to FIS. We recorded interest income related to this note of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. See Note 13 for FNF holdings of our debt securities.

Ceridian

We provide data processing services to Ceridian Corporation (“Ceridian”), a company in which FNF holds an approximate 33% equity interest.

Sedgwick

We provide data processing services to Sedgwick CMS, Inc. (“Sedgwick”), a company in which FNF held an approximate 32% equity interest through May 28, 2010. The revenue items with Sedgwick are, therefore, summarized above as related party activity through that date.

LPS

We provided information technology services to LPS through mid 2010. In addition, we have entered into certain property management and real estate lease agreements with LPS relating to our Jacksonville corporate headquarters. LPS remained a related party through March 1, 2010, as Lee A. Kennedy served as the Executive Vice Chairman and a Director of the Board of FIS as well as the Chairman of the Board of LPS. Effective March 1, 2010, Mr. Kennedy and the Company mutually agreed that he would no longer serve as an executive officer and director of the Company and its subsidiaries. The revenue and expense items with LPS are, therefore, summarized above as related party activity through March 1, 2010.

We believe the amounts earned from or charged by us under each of the foregoing arrangements are fair and reasonable. We believe our service arrangements are priced within the range of prices we offer to third parties, except for certain services provided to FNF, which are at cost. However, the amounts we earned or that were charged under these arrangements were not negotiated at arm's-length, and may not represent the terms that we might have obtained from an unrelated third party.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for related party transactions, including the nature of the relationship(s), a description of the transactions, the amount of the transactions, the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms of the transaction from the previous period, stated interest rate, expiration date, terms and manner of settlement per the agreement with the related party, and amounts due to or from related parties. If the entity and one or more other entities are under common ownership or management control and this control affects the operating results or financial position, disclosure includes the nature of the control relationship even if there are no transactions between the entities.

Acquisitions

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2011

Acquisitions [Abstract]

Acquisitions

The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition. There were no significant acquisitions in 2011 and 2010.

Metavante

On October 1, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Metavante (the “Metavante Acquisition”). Metavante expanded the scale of FIS core processing and payment capabilities, added trust and wealth management processing services and added to our EFT capabilities with the NYCE Network. Metavante also added significant scale to treasury and cash management offerings and provided an entry into the healthcare and government payments markets. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 31, 2009, Metavante became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIS. Each issued and outstanding share of Metavante common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into 1.35 shares of FIS common stock. In addition, outstanding Metavante stock options and other stock-based awards were converted into comparable FIS stock options and other stock-based awards at the same conversion ratio.

The total purchase price was as follows (in millions):



Value of Metavante common stock	$	4,066.4
Value of Metavante stock awards	121.4
Total purchase price	$	4,187.8

We recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to Metavante tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of October 1, 2009. Goodwill was recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows (in millions):



Cash	$	439.7
Trade and other receivables	237.9
Land, buildings, and equipment	119.8
Other assets	144.4
Computer software	287.7
Intangible assets	1,572.0
Goodwill	4,083.1
Liabilities assumed	(2,673.4		)
Noncontrolling interest	(23.4		)
Total purchase price	$	4,187.8

The following table summarizes the liabilities assumed in the Metavante Acquisition (in millions):



Long-term debt including current portion	$	1,720.1
Deferred income taxes	544.4
Other liabilities	408.9
	$	2,673.4

During 2010, the Company completed certain tax studies and appraisals and recorded a reduction of $3.7 million in the provisional goodwill balance, an offsetting reduction in other liabilities of $2.2 million, an increase in land, buildings and equipment of $1.5 million and adjustments of less than $1.0 million to trade and other receivables, accrued liabilities and deferred income taxes. These adjustments were not given retrospective application to October 1, 2009 due to their immateriality.

In connection with the Metavante Acquisition, we also acquired Metavante stock option plans and issued approximately 12.2 million options and 0.6 million restricted stock units in replacement of similar outstanding awards held by Metavante employees. The amounts attributable to vested options were included as an adjustment to the purchase price, and the amounts attributable to unvested options and restricted stock units will be expensed over the remaining vesting period based on a valuation as of the date of closing.

As of the Metavante acquisition date, WPM, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership affiliated with Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (collectively “Warburg Pincus”) owned 25% of the outstanding shares of Metavante common stock, and was a party to a purchase right agreement with Metavante that granted Warburg Pincus the right to purchase additional shares of Metavante common stock under certain conditions in order to maintain its relative ownership interest. The Company and Warburg Pincus entered into a replacement stock purchase right agreement effective upon consummation of the merger, granting Warburg Pincus the right to purchase comparable FIS shares in lieu of Metavante shares. The purchase right agreement relates to Metavante employee stock options that were outstanding as of the date of Warburg Pincus' initial investment in Metavante. The stock purchase right may be exercised quarterly for a number of shares equal to one-third of the number of said employee stock options exercised during the preceding quarter, at a price equal to one-third of the aggregate exercise prices for such options. Alternatively, the right may be exercised for a number of shares equal to the difference between (i) one-third of the number of said employee stock options exercised during the preceding quarter and (ii) the quotient of one-third of the aggregate exercise prices of such options exercised divided by the quoted closing price of a common share on the day immediately before exercise of the purchase right, at a price equal to $0.01 per share (“Net Settlement Feature”). In March 2010, 0.5 million shares were issued to Warburg Pincus relative to 2009 activity. An additional 0.2 million shares were issued during 2010 relative to first, second and third quarter 2010 activity. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 0.2 million shares were issued relative to fourth quarter 2010 and first, second and third quarter 2011 activity. Warburg Pincus paid a nominal amount for these shares under the Net Settlement Feature of the agreement. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 3.1 million employee stock options remained outstanding that were subject to this purchase right; therefore, the right will permit Warburg Pincus to purchase, at most, an additional 1.0 million shares.

Pro Forma Results

Metavante’s revenues of $404.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Disclosure of the earnings of Metavante since the acquisition date is not practicable.

Selected unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, assuming the Metavante Acquisition had occurred as of January 1 of that year, are presented for comparative purposes below (in millions, except per share amounts):



	2009
Total revenues	$	4,924.7
Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	155.6
Pro forma earnings per share — basic from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	0.42
Pro forma earnings per share — diluted from continuing operations attributable to FIS common stockholders	$	0.41

Pro forma results include impairment charges of $136.9 million and Metavante merger and integration related costs of approximately $143.2 million, on a pre-tax basis. Excluding the impact of deferred revenue adjustments, total pro forma revenues would have been $4,993.5 million for 2009.

Other acquisitions

The Company completed a number of other acquisitions in 2011 and 2010 that were not significant, individually or in the aggregate, including ValueCentric Marketing Group, Inc. for $32.8 million in October 2010 and Capco for $411.5 million in December 2010.

The Capco purchase price included cash consideration of $297.8 million at closing for 89% of the outstanding common stock plus future contingent consideration valued at $113.7 million based on targeted operating performance in 2013 through 2015. An advance of $7.8 million against the contingent consideration was paid in December 2010. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on forecasts of achievement of the targeted operating performance. A reduction of $22.3 million in this liability was recorded in 2011 based on current forecasts for the performance period, with a corresponding reduction to selling, general and administrative expense. After giving effect to this adjustment and interest accretion, the liability balance as of December 31, 2011 was $95.4 million. The maximum contingent consideration payout is $232.2 million.

The contingent consideration consists of two components, the deferred purchase price and the balance of common stock not yet transferred. An additional installment of the remaining outstanding stock was transferred to the Company in 2011. The final 1.0% will be transferred in 2012. These transfers represent partial exchange for any contingent consideration ultimately earned. Because the stock was considered mandatorily redeemable, it was classified together with the deferred purchase price in other noncurrent liabilities rather than in equity.

In conjunction with the acquisition, Capco and FIS established a New Hires and Promotions Incentive Plan to attract new employees and to retain and incent existing employees and management. This plan provides for aggregate payments of up to $67.8 million to eligible participants upon achievement of revenue and EBITDA targets during the performance period, which is January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The Company and Capco also established an Employee Loyalty Incentive Plan, also for the purpose of attracting new and retaining and incentivizing existing employees and management. This plan provides for aggregate payments of up to 1% of Capco's revenue to eligible participants during the performance period, which is January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2015. The expense and liability for expected payments under these plans is being recorded over the performance period. Approximately $10.1 million was recorded in 2011.

Brazilian Venture

Dec. 31, 2011

Brazilian Venture [Abstract]

Brazilian Venture

In March 2006, we entered into an agreement with ABN AMRO Real (“ABN”) and Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco”) (collectively, “banks”) to form a venture (the "Brazilian Venture"), to provide comprehensive, fully outsourced card processing services to Brazilian card issuers. In exchange for a 51% controlling interest in the venture, we contributed our existing Brazilian card processing business contracts and Brazilian card processing infrastructure and made enhancements to our card processing system to meet the needs of the banks and their affiliates. The banks executed long-term contracts to process their card portfolios with the venture in exchange for an aggregate 49% interest. The accounting entries for this transaction were recorded during 2008 when certain walkaway rights lapsed, resulting in the establishment of a contract intangible asset of $224.2 million and a liability for amounts payable to the banks upon final migration of their respective card portfolios and achieving targeted volumes (the “Brazilian Venture Notes”).

During 2009, after a downstream merger of legal entities in Brazil that pushed tax deductible goodwill into the venture, we determined that the contract intangible asset established in 2008 created a deferred tax liability of $73.2 million due to a tax basis lower than the book value recorded. Furthermore, the tax deductible goodwill within the venture should have had the impact of increasing the enterprise valuation used to determine the fair value of the acquired contracts. The impact of these two items increased the amount that should have been recorded for the contract intangible by a total of $83.8 million. The deferred tax liability and the contract intangible balances were adjusted by these amounts as of December 31, 2009. The incremental value assigned to the intangible asset resulted in additional amortization, which is recorded as a reduction in revenue.

During the third quarter of 2008, Banco Santander acquired majority control of ABN. Subsequent thereto, Banco Santander publicly stated its intention to consolidate all Brazilian card processing operations onto its own in-house technology platform, and notified the Brazilian Venture during 2009 of its desire to exit the relationship. In late January 2010, Banco Santander ceased processing its card portfolio on the Brazilian Venture's systems, and in August 2010, all documents required to effect a mutually agreeable exit for Banco Santander were executed.

Under the terms of the exit agreements, Banco Santander relinquished its ownership in the Brazilian Venture to Banco Bradesco. Banco Santander paid a termination fee of approximately $83.3 million directly to FIS, which is included in processing and services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010. Brazilian Venture Notes were forgiven in the amount of $19.4 million, representing Banco Santander's pro rata interest therein. Certain capitalized software development costs incurred 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 due to the exit of Banco Santander and charged to amortization expense. As a result of the above transactions, we recorded $50.1 million after-tax as non-controlling interest loss representing our minority partner's share of the write-offs.

The net impact of the items noted above resulted in an increase in net earnings attributable to FIS common stockholders for 2010 of approximately $17.2 million or $0.05 per share, and is summarized as follows (in millions):



	Statement of Earnings Classification	2010
Cash Item:
Receipt of termination fee	Processing and services revenue	$	83.3

Non-cash Items:
Write-down of notes payable	Other income (expense)	19.4
Write-off of capitalized software	Impairment charges	14.6
Write-down of contract intangible	Impairment charges	140.3

Income tax effect of above items	Provision for income taxes	(19.3		)

Minority partner's share of write-downs, net of tax	Net (earnings) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest	50.1

Net impact on earnings attributable to FIS common stockholders		17.2

Certain terms of the Brazilian Venture were subsequently renegotiated between Banco Bradesco and FIS and were memorialized in an Amended Association Agreement in November 2010. Among other things, the payout for the Brazilian Venture Notes was extended over a ten-year period, resulting in a reduction to the recorded present-value of the obligation and related extinguishment gain in the amount of $5.7 million. Additional performance remuneration provisions upon the achievement of targeted account and transaction volumes were renegotiated, for which additional related party payables were recorded as of December 31, 2010, based on management's expectation that the targets will be met. The total related party payable, consisting of the original Brazil Venture Notes adjusted for the Santander exit and the performance remuneration, was $87.1 million and $85.7 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. FIS continues to own 51% of the Brazilian Venture and retained control such that we will continue to consolidate the Brazilian Venture's results.

The Brazilian Venture currently processes approximately 50 million cards for clients in Brazil and provides call center, cardholder support and collection services for their card portfolios. Additionally, we are still performing call center and cardholder support for Banco Santander.

Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Intangible Assets

Customer relationships intangible assets are obtained as part of acquired businesses and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally five to 10 years, using accelerated methods. Trademarks determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized. Certain other trademarks are amortized over periods ranging up to fifteen years. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, trademarks carried at $81.0 million and $90.5 million, respectively, were classified as indefinite lived.

Intangible assets, as of December 31, 2011, consisted of the following (in millions):



	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Customer relationships	$	2,934.4	$	(1,141.9	)	$	1,792.5
Trademarks	119.0		(8.2		)	110.8
	$	3,053.4	$	(1,150.1	)	$	1,903.3

Amortization expense for intangible assets with definite lives was $251.1 million, $267.3 million and $153.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings was amortization expense on intangible assets of $0.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $9.1 million, related to the Capco trademark in North America. During the year ended December 31, 2010, as a result of Banco Santander's exit from the Brazilian Venture, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $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. Included in the $25.0 million of impairment charges recognized in 2010 for Participacoes (Note 3) was $5.2 million related to intangible assets. The Company introduced a new brand identity in conjunction with the October 1, 2009 Metavante acquisition, giving rise to a pre-tax impairment charge of $124.0 million related to certain previously acquired trademarks.

Estimated amortization of intangibles, including the contract intangible in our Brazilian Venture which is amortized as a reduction in revenue, for the next five years is as follows (in millions):



2012	$	263.1

(1)	Repaid in full on December 19, 2011.


(2)	Interest on the Term Loan A-2 is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 2.50% based upon the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the FIS Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2011, the weighted average interest rate on the Term Loan A-2 was 2.56%.


(3)	Interest on the New Term Loan B is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. As of December 31, 2011, the interest rate on the New Term Loan B was 4.25%.


(4)	Interest on the Revolving Loan is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 2.50% plus an unused commitment fee of up to 0.50%, each based upon the Company's leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2011, the applicable margin on the Revolving Loan, excluding facility fees and unused commitment fees, was 2.25%.

On December 19, 2011, FIS amended, restated and supplemented its syndicated credit agreement, which was originally issued on January 18, 2007, amended on July 30, 2007, amended and restated on June 29, 2010, and supplemented July 16, 2010 (as amended and supplemented through December 19, 2011, the “FIS Credit Agreement”). The FIS Credit Agreement, as of December 31, 2011, provides total committed capital of $4,338.6 million comprised of: (1) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1,000.0 million maturing on July 18, 2014 ( the “Revolving Loan”); and (2) an aggregate of $3,338.6 million of term notes consisting of $2,088.6 million maturing on July 18, 2014 (“Term Loan A-2”) and $1,250.0 million maturing on July 18, 2016 ("New Term Loan B"). As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan was $175.0 million, with $824.0 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $1.0 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Loan).

On December 19, 2011, FIS entered into a Second Amendment, Restatement and Joinder Agreement under which FIS: (1) issued $400.0 million of Term Loan A-2 upon the same terms as apply to the existing Term Loan A-2; (2) accepted $69.5 million of additional Revolving Loan commitments; and (3) issued a new tranche of term loans under the FIS Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250.0 million (New Term Loan B). The New Term Loan B is subject in all material respects to the provisions applicable to other term loans under the FIS Credit Agreement. Interest on the New Term Loan B will generally be payable at LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum (with LIBOR subject to a floor of 1.00%).

On January 30, 2012, FIS entered into a joinder agreement under which FIS accepted $50.0 million of additional revolving loan commitments increasing the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan to $1,050.0 million.

On July 16, 2010, FIS entered into a Joinder Agreement (the "Joinder Agreement") under which FIS issued a new tranche of term loans under the FIS Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion (the "Old Term Loan B"). On December 19, 2011, FIS repaid the Old Term Loan B in full.

FIS may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolving Loan from time to time until the applicable maturity date. FIS must make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan A-2 of $60.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and $90.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2013 through March 31, 2014, with the remaining principal balance payable on July 18, 2014. As of December 31, 2011, FIS had made principal prepayments under the Term Loan A-2 of $4.4 million, reducing the payment obligation scheduled for March 31, 2012 by the same amount. FIS must make quarterly principal payments under the New Term Loan B of $3.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2012 through June 30, 2016, with the remaining principal balance payable on July 18, 2016. Voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans is generally permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. The Revolving Loan has no scheduled principal payments, but will be due and payable in full on its applicable maturity date. Commitment reductions of the Revolving Loan are also permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice. In addition to scheduled principal payments, the Term Loans are (with certain exceptions) subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Term Loan A-2 and Revolving Loan mature on July 18, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan A-2 and Revolving Loan bear interest at (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. FIS pays an unused commitment fee of 0.50% on the Revolving Loan.

The New Term Loan B matures on July 18, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan B bears interest at (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or (ii) a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. For the purposes of the New Term B Loan, the definition of Base Rate was amended to include one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%.

The FIS Credit Agreement contains provisions permitting us to obtain additional term and/or revolving loans in the future, conditioned upon our ability to obtain additional commitments from lenders to fund those loans, in a principal amount of up to $750.0 million. The FIS Credit Agreement remains subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on incurring indebtedness, restrictions on investments and dispositions, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Upon an event of default under the FIS Credit Agreement, the administrative agent can accelerate the maturity of all amounts borrowed. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain covenants.

The obligations of FIS under the FIS Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of FIS and are secured by a pledge of the equity interests issued by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of FIS and a pledge of 65% of the equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries of FIS.

On July 16, 2010, FIS completed offerings of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and together with the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”). FIS issued the Notes in two separate series under an indenture dated as of July 16, 2010 among FIS, FIS' domestic subsidiaries that guaranteed its amended credit facility (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. We have since completed an exchange offer under which we exchanged identical notes that were SEC registered for the Notes.

On December 19, 2011, FIS entered into a supplemental indenture whereby FIS issued an additional $150.0 million of our 7.625% Senior Notes due July 16, 2017 (the "Additional 2017 Notes") that have the same terms as the existing 2017 Notes. The Additional 2017 Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional 2017 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold without registration unless pursuant to an exemption from, or in, a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state laws. References to the Notes and 2017 Notes hereinafter include the Additional 2017 Notes.

Interest on the 2017 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.625% per annum and interest on the 2020 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.875% per annum. Interest on each series of Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2011. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Guarantors.

The Notes and the related guarantees are general senior unsecured obligations of FIS and the Guarantors and (1) rank equally in right of payment with all of FIS' and the Guarantors' existing and future senior debt, (2) are effectively junior to all of FIS' and the Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing that secured debt, (3) are effectively junior to all existing and future debt and liabilities of FIS' non-guarantor subsidiaries and (4) rank senior in right of payment to all of FIS' future debt, if any, that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Notes.

FIS may redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes before July 15, 2013 and July 15, 2014, respectively, by paying a “make-whole” premium. FIS may redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes on or after July 15, 2013 and July 15, 2014, respectively, at specified redemption prices. In addition, before July 15, 2013, FIS may redeem up to 35% of the Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

FIS is obligated to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price of (a) 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events and (b) 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the event of certain asset sales. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit FIS' ability and the ability of certain of FIS' subsidiaries (a) to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (b) to make certain restricted payments, (c) to create or incur certain liens, (d) to create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions to FIS from its restricted subsidiaries, (e) to engage in sale and leaseback transactions, (f) to transfer all or substantially all of the assets of FIS or any restricted subsidiary or enter into merger or consolidation transactions and (g) to engage in certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications in the indenture.

The following table summarizes the mandatory annual principal payments pursuant to the FIS Credit Agreement and the Notes as of December 31, 2011 (in millions). There are no mandatory principal payments on the Revolving Loan and any balance outstanding on the Revolving Loan will be due and payable at its scheduled maturity date:



	Term Loan A-2		New TermLoan B		2017 Notes		2020 Notes		Total

Total	$	2,088.6	$	1,250.0	$	750.0	$	500.0	$	4,588.6

Our New Term Loan B and Notes are held by a number of institutional investors. As of December 31, 2011, $13.0 million of New Term Loan B and $21.8 million of Notes were held by FNF.

We monitor the financial stability of our counterparties on an ongoing basis. The lender commitments under the undrawn portions of the Revolving Loan are comprised of a diversified set of financial institutions, both domestic and international. The combined commitments of our top 10 revolving lenders comprise about 72% of our Revolving Loan. The failure of any single lender to perform their obligations under the Revolving Loan would not adversely impact our ability to fund operations. If the single largest lender were to default under the terms of the FIS Credit Agreement (impacting the capacity of the Revolving Loan), the maximum loss of available capacity on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Loan, as of December 31, 2011, would be approximately $105.7 million.

Debt issuance costs of $40.7 million, net of accumulated amortization, remain capitalized as of December 31, 2011, related to all of the above credit facilities.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $88.6 million higher than the carrying value as of December 31, 2011. This estimate is based on quoted prices of our Notes and trades of our other debt in close proximity to December 31, 2011, which are considered Level 2-type measurements. This estimate is subjective in nature and involves uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. Therefore, the values presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize or settle currently.

As of December 31, 2011, we have entered into the following interest rate swap transactions converting a portion of the interest rate exposure on our Term and Revolving Loans from variable to fixed (in millions):



Effective date	Termination date	Notional amount		Bank pays variable rate of	FIS pays fixed rate of

(2)	0.30% in effect as of December 31, 2011.


(3)	Does not include the applicable margin and facility fees paid to bank lenders on Term Loan A and Revolving Loan as described above.

We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and, as such, they are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive earnings, net of tax.

A summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is as follows (in millions):



	December 31, 2011			December 31, 2010
	Balance sheet location	Fair value		Balance sheet location	Fair value
Interest rate swap contracts	Other noncurrent assets	$	—	Other noncurrent assets	$	2.6
Interest rate swap contracts	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	3.4		Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	3.4
Interest rate swap contracts	Other long-term liabilities	4.0		Other long-term liabilities	18.3
Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments		$	7.4		$	19.1

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps are Level 2-type measurements. We considered our own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties when determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Adjustments are made to these amounts and to accumulated other comprehensive earnings ("AOCE") within the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Earnings as the factors that impact fair value change, including current and projected interest rates, time to maturity and required cash transfers/settlements with our counterparties. Periodic actual and estimated settlements with counterparties are recorded to interest expense as a yield adjustment to effectively fix the otherwise variable rate interest expense associated with the Term and Revolving Loans.

As part of the Metavante acquisition, the Company assumed an interest rate swap that is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2011, the accrued but unpaid reset payments and the fair value of the future reset payments total $42.4 million and the aggregate amount is recorded as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This item was paid in February 2012.

A summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings and recognized in AOCE for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are as follows (in millions):



	Amount of loss recognized in AOCE on derivatives
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	2011			2010			2009
Interest rate swap contracts	$	(15.0	)	$	(33.7	)	$	(21.5	)



	Amount of loss reclassified from AOCE into income
Location of loss reclassified from AOCE into income	2011			2010			2009
Interest expense	$	(20.7	)	$	(41.5	)	$	(89.4	)

Approximately $2.2 million of the balance in AOCE as of December 31, 2011 is expected to be reclassified into income over the next twelve months.

Our existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there was no impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our practice to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks at the time of execution and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2011, we believe that our interest rate swap counterparties will be able to fulfill their obligations under our agreements and we believe we will have debt outstanding through the various expiration dates of the swaps such that the forecasted transactions remain probable of occurring.

Management believes that based on its historical pattern of taxable income, projections of future income, tax planning strategies and other relevant evidence, the Company will produce sufficient income in the future to realize its deferred income tax assets. A valuation allowance is established for any portion of a deferred income tax asset if management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefits of all or a portion of a deferred income tax asset. Adjustments to the valuation allowance will be made if there is a change in management's assessment of the amount of deferred income tax asset that is realizable.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had income taxes receivable of $10.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively. These amounts are included in other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards resulting in deferred tax assets of $152.2 million and $187.5 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating losses result in deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 of $14.7 million and $23.1 million, respectively, which expire between 2019 and 2024. The Company has a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards in the amounts of $11.9 million and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards resulting in deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 of $137.5 million and $164.4 million, respectively. The Company has valuation allowances against these net operating losses as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 of $72.5 million and $93.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $8.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, which expire between 2016 and 2019. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company no longer has a valuation allowance against these foreign tax credits.

Since 2005, we have participated in the IRS' Compliance Assurance Process (CAP), which is a real-time audit. The IRS has completed its review for years 2002-2009. Currently, management believes the ultimate resolution of the IRS examinations will not result in a material adverse effect to the Company's financial position or results of operations. Substantially all material foreign income tax return matters have been concluded through 2004. Substantially all state income tax returns have been concluded through 2007.

The Company provides for United States income taxes on earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless they are considered permanently reinvested outside the United States. For those earnings considered to be permanently reinvested outside the United States, a determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable at this time.

The following table reconciles the gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the period (in millions):



	Gross Amount
Amounts of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2010	$	43.2
Amount of decreases due to lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(1.8		)
Amount of decreases due to change of position	(2.3		)
Amount of decreases due to settlements	(3.2		)
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in a prior period	6.8
Amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2010	42.7
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in the current year	4.8
Amount of decreases due to settlements	(4.9		)
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in a prior period	2.9
Amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2011	$	45.5

The total amount of interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for unpaid taxes is $3.7 million, $2.3 million and $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets is $15.8 million and $17.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Due to the expiration of various statutes of limitation in the next twelve months, an estimated $1.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized during that twelve month period.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. The Company believes that no actions, other than the matters listed below, depart from customary litigation incidental to its business. As background to the disclosures below, please note the following:


•	These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities.

•

The Company reviews these matters on an on-going basis and follows the authoritative provisions for accounting for contingencies when making accrual and disclosure decisions. A liability must be accrued if (a) it is probable that a liability has been incurred and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If one of these criteria has not been met, disclosure is required when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, the Company bases decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals. Legal fees associated with defending these matters are expensed as incurred.

Searcy, Gladys v. eFunds Corporation

This is a nationwide putative class action that was filed against our subsidiary eFunds and its affiliate Deposit Payment Protection Services, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois during the first quarter of 2008. The complaint seeks damages for an alleged willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) in connection with the operation of the Shared Check Authorization Network. Plaintiff's principal allegation is that consumers did not receive appropriate disclosures pursuant to §1681g of the FCRA because the disclosures did not include: (i) all information in the consumer's file at the time of the request; (ii) the source of the information in the consumer's file; and/or (iii) the names of any persons who requested information related to the consumer's check writing history during the prior year. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification which was granted with respect to two subclasses during the first quarter of 2010. The motion was denied with respect to all other subclasses. The Company filed a motion for reconsideration. The motion was granted and the two subclasses were decertified. The plaintiff also filed motions to amend her complaint to add two additional plaintiffs to the lawsuit. The court granted the motions. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment as to the original plaintiff and a motion for sanctions against the plaintiff and her counsel based on plaintiff's alleged false statements that were filed in support of the motion for class certification. In the third quarter of 2010, the court denied the motion for summary judgment and granted in part and denied in part the motion for sanctions. The Company filed a motion requesting the court to allow it to file an interlocutory appeal on the order denying the motion for summary judgment. The court granted the motion; however, in the first quarter of 2011, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Company's petition for interlocutory appeal. Discovery regarding the new plaintiffs and other matters is ongoing. An estimate of a possible loss or range of loss, if any, for this action cannot be made at this time.

CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc. v. Metavante Corporation and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

This is a patent infringement action that was filed by CheckFree Corporation and CashEdge, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fiserv, Inc., against Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and our subsidiary, Metavante Corporation (collectively the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division on January 5, 2012. The complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees for the alleged infringement of three patents. Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants infringe the patents at issue by providing customers financial and payment solutions that process payment instruction, provide electronic biller notifications, and/or process account-to-account funds transfer transactions and have requested financial and injunctive relief. The Defendants are preparing to file their answer to the complaint. Due to the early stage of this matter, an estimate of a possible loss or range of loss, if any, for this action cannot be made at this time.

Indemnifications and Warranties

The Company generally indemnifies its customers, subject to certain exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated with its customers' use of the Company's products or services. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications, but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications. Historically, no significant costs have been incurred related to software warranties and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

Leases

The Company leases certain of its property under leases which expire at various dates. Several of these agreements include escalation clauses and provide for purchases and renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years.

Future minimum operating lease payments for leases with remaining terms greater than one year for each of the years in the five years ending December 31, 2016, and thereafter in the aggregate, are as follows (in millions):



2012	$	69.9
2013	55.6
2014	42.3
2015	31.3
2016	22.5
Thereafter	63.7
Total	$	285.3

In addition, the Company has operating lease commitments relating to office equipment and computer hardware with annual lease payments of approximately $12.2 million per year that renew on a short-term basis.

Rent expense incurred under all operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $93.6 million, $116.1 million and $100.2 million, respectively. Included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings was rent expense of $0.5 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into capital lease obligations of $31.4 million for certain computer hardware and software. The assets are included in property and equipment and computer software and the remaining capital lease obligation is classified as long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011. Periodic payments are included in Repayment of borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Data Processing and Maintenance Services Agreements. The Company has agreements with various vendors, which expire between 2012 and 2018, for portions of its computer data processing operations and related functions. The Company’s estimated aggregate contractual obligation remaining under these agreements was approximately $299.8 million as of December 31, 2011. However, this amount could be more or less depending on various factors such as the inflation rate, foreign exchange rates, the introduction of significant new technologies, or changes in the Company’s data processing needs.

Employee Benefit Plans

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2011

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense [Abstract]

Employee Benefit Plans

Stock Purchase Plan

FIS employees participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Eligible employees may voluntarily purchase, at current market prices, shares of FIS’ common stock through payroll deductions. Pursuant to the ESPP, employees may contribute an amount between 3% and 15% of their base salary and certain commissions. Shares purchased are allocated to employees based upon their contributions. The Company contributes varying matching amounts as specified in the ESPP. The Company recorded an expense of $17.8 million, $14.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, relating to the participation of FIS employees in the ESPP.

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

The Company’s employees are covered by a qualified 401(k) plan. Eligible employees may contribute up to 40% of their pretax annual compensation, up to the amount allowed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. The Company generally matches 50% of each dollar of employee contribution up to 6% of the employee’s total eligible compensation. The Company recorded expense of $27.1 million, $23.1 million and $16.6 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, relating to the participation of FIS employees in the 401(k) plan.

Stock Option Plans

In 2005, the Company adopted the FIS 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 0.4 million and 0.5 million options outstanding under this plan, respectively, at a strike price of $8.71 per share (as adjusted for the 1.7952 conversion ratio for the LPS spin-off and the 0.6396 exchange ratio in the Certegy Merger). These stock options were granted at the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The options granted under this plan have a term of 10 years and vested over either a four or five year period (the “time-based options”) or based on specific performance criteria (the “performance-based options”). The performance-based options vested in 2006 after the performance criteria were met subsequent to the Certegy Merger.

Through the Certegy Merger, the Company assumed the Certegy Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Certegy Plan") that provided for the issuance of qualified and non-qualified stock options to officers and other key employees at exercise prices not less than market on the date of grant. All options and awards outstanding prior to the Certegy Merger under the Certegy Plan were fully vested as of the Certegy Merger date. As part of the Certegy Merger, the Certegy shareholders approved amendments to the plan and approved an additional 6.0 million shares to be made available under the plan. There were 6.8 million and 8.5 million options outstanding under this plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

On November 9, 2006, as part of the transaction through which FIS became independent of FNF, the Company assumed certain options and restricted stock grants that the Company’s employees and directors held in FNF under certain FNF stock option plans. The Company assumed 2.7 million options to replace approximately 4.9 million outstanding FNF options. The Company also assumed 0.1 million shares of restricted stock. There were 0.1 million and 0.1 million options outstanding under these plans as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

On September 17, 2007, as part of the closing of the eFunds Acquisition, the Company assumed certain vested and unvested options and restricted stock units that the employees of eFunds held as of the acquisition date in the eFunds stock option plans. The Company assumed 2.2 million options and 0.1 million restricted stock units. There were 0.3 million and 0.4 million options outstanding under these plans as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

In 2008, the Company adopted the FIS 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company granted 2.0 million and 3.4 million options under this plan in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which vest over 3 years. There were 10.9 million and 9.5 million options outstanding and 3.0 million and 5.7 million options available for grant under this plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

On October 1, 2009, in conjunction with the Metavante Acquisition, the Company assumed certain vested and unvested options and restricted stock awards that the employees of Metavante held as of the acquisition date in the Metavante stock option plans. The Company assumed 12.2 million options and 0.6 million restricted stock awards. The Company granted 2.8 million additional options under this plan subsequent to the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company granted 1.4 million and 1.7 million options under this plan in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 11.9 million and 12.2 million options outstanding, respectively, and there were 10.1 million and 12.0 million options, respectively, available for grant under this plan.

_________________________


(a)	No intrinsic value as of December 31, 2011.


(b)	Intrinsic value is based on a closing stock price as of December 31, 2011 of $26.59.

The Company has provided for total stock compensation expense of $64.7 million, $58.7 million and $71.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, unless the expense is attributable to a discontinued operation.

Stock compensation expense of $19.3 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009 relating to the acceleration of option vesting for all options and restricted stock awards granted under the Certegy Plan from February 1, 2006 through June of 2008, due to the terms of the change in control provisions relating to those awards triggered by the acquisition of Metavante. Those awards specified that a greater than 33% change in ownership of the Company would trigger the change in control provisions under those agreements and subsequent to the Metavante acquisition, FIS shareholders held approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Stock compensation expense for 2009 also includes $8.2 million for acceleration of expense relating to certain options and restricted stock awards held by certain executives granted in 2008 under the terms of their employment agreements. Due to the fact that the terms of these awards included these provisions, the acceleration charge was based on the original fair value attributable to the awards and was not remeasured upon the change in control provision being triggered.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated to be $7.58, $7.84 and $7.18, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions below:



	2011		2010		2009
Risk free interest rate	0.8	%	1.1	%	2.3	%
Volatility	36.5	%	35.6	%	35.0	%
Dividend yield	0.8	%	0.7	%	1.0	%
Weighted average expected life (years)	4.5		4.4		5.0

The Company estimates future forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate that is used in the stock option valuation model on U.S. Treasury securities issued with maturities similar to the expected term of the options. The expected stock volatility factor is determined using historical daily price changes of the Company's common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected term of the option and the impact of any expected trends. The dividend yield assumption is based on the current dividend yield at the grant date or management's forecasted expectations. The expected life assumption is determined by calculating the average term from the Company's historical stock option activity and considering the impact of expected future trends.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards is $122.5 million and $129.3 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized in pre-tax income over a weighted average period of 1.6 years and 1.7 years, respectively.

The Company granted a total of 1.4 million restricted stock shares at prices ranging from $24.16 to $31.80 on various dates in 2011. These shares vest annually over three years. The Company granted a total of 1.5 million restricted stock shares at prices ranging from $25.76 to $28.15 on various dates in 2010. These shares vest annually over three years. The Company also granted 0.9 million performance restricted stock units during 2010. These performance restricted stock units have been granted at the maximum achievable level and the number of shares that can vest is based on specific revenue and EBITDA goals for periods from 2010 through 2012. During 2009, we granted 0.5 million shares of restricted stock at a price of $22.55 that vest annually over three years. On October 1, 2009, the Company granted 0.4 million restricted stock units at a price of $24.85 per share that vested over six months. On March 20, 2008, we granted 0.4 million shares of restricted stock at a price of $38.75 that were to vest quarterly over 2 years. On July 2, 2008, 0.2 million of these shares were canceled and assumed by LPS. The remaining unvested restricted shares were converted by the conversion factor of 1.7952. These awards vested as of October 1, 2009, under the change in control provisions due to the Metavante Acquisition. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we have approximately 2.6 million and 2.2 million unvested restricted shares remaining. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 we also have 0.6 million and 0.6 million of restricted stock units that have not vested.

Share Repurchase Program and Recapitalization Plan

On February 4, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing repurchases of up to 15.0 million shares of our common stock in the open market, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, through January 31, 2013. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $32.2 million at an average price of $22.97 in 2010 under this plan. We repurchased an additional 13.6 million shares of our common stock for $361.2 million at an average price of $26.56 during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this plan. No additional shares of our common stock remain available to repurchase under this plan as of December 31, 2011.

On May 25, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a leveraged recapitalization plan to repurchase up to $2.5 billion of our common stock at a price range of $29.00 - $31.00 per share of common stock through a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer commenced on July 6, 2010 and expired on August 3, 2010. The Tender Offer was oversubscribed at $29.00 per share, resulting in the purchase of 86.2 million shares, including 6.4 million shares underlying previously unexercised stock options. The repurchased shares were added to treasury stock.

On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing additional repurchases of up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market, at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions, through December 31, 2013. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $38.0 million at an average price of $26.51 during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this plan. Approximately $462.0 million of our common stock is available to repurchase under this plan as of December 31, 2011.

On February 7, 2012 our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing additional repurchases of up to $1,000.0 million through December 31, 2015. This share repurchase authorization replaces any existing share repurchase authorization.

Other Benefit Plans

Capco Plans

In connection with the Capco acquisition (Note 5), the Company established the Capco Long-Term Incentive Programs ("LTIPs"), which provide for certain cash and stock bonuses to qualifying Capco employees upon achievement of specified operating results for each fiscal year through December 31, 2014. At targeted performance for fiscal years 2011 through 2013, a total of 1.5 million shares of FIS common stock may be granted under the North American program. As part of its purchase accounting for this acquisition, the Company established a liability of $9.1 million related to the cash component of the LTIPs for 2009 and 2010, which is payable in future years, beginning in 2012. The total accrued as of December 31, 2011 is $14.6 million. The maximum of the cash component of the LTIPs at targeted performance levels through 2014 is $51.4 million.

German Pension Plan

Our German operations have unfunded, defined benefit plan obligations. These obligations relate to retirement benefits to be paid to German employees upon retirement. The accumulated benefit obligation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $32.3 million and $30.3 million, respectively, and the projected benefit obligation was $33.0 million and $31.1 million, respectively. The plan remains unfunded as of December 31, 2011.

Concentration of Risk	12 Months Ended
Concentration of Risk	Dec. 31, 2011
Concentration of Risk [Abstract]
Concentration of Risk	Concentration of Risk The Company generates a significant amount of revenue from large customers, however, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade receivables credit risk. The Company controls credit risk through monitoring procedures.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for any concentrations existing at the date of the financial statements that make an entity vulnerable to a reasonably possible, near-term, severe impact. This disclosure informs financial statement users about the general nature of the risk associated with the concentration, and may indicate the percentage of concentration risk as of the balance sheet date.

Financial Solutions Group

FSG focuses on serving the processing needs of financial institutions, commercial lenders, finance companies and other businesses in North America. FSG's primary software applications function as the underlying infrastructure of a financial institution's processing environment. These applications include core bank processing software, which banks use to maintain the primary records of their customer accounts, and complementary applications and services that interact directly with the core processing applications. FSG offers applications and services through a range of delivery and service models, including on-site outsourcing and remote processing arrangements, as well as on a licensed software basis for installation on customer-owned and operated systems. With the December 2010 acquisition of Capco, we broadened our capabilities to provide strategic integrated consulting, technology and complex, large-scale transformation services.

Payment Solutions Group

PSG provides a comprehensive set of software and services for EFT, network, card processing, image, bill payment, government and healthcare solutions for North America. PSG is focused on servicing the payment and EFT needs of North American headquartered banks and credit unions and independent community and savings institutions.

International Solution Group

ISG offers both financial solutions and payment solutions to a wide array of international financial institutions. Also, this segment includes the Company's consolidated Brazilian Venture (Note 6) and the international operations of Capco. Included in this segment are long-term assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets, located outside of the United States totaling $401.2 million, $452.9 million and $444.5 million as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These assets are predominantly located in Germany, Brazil, the United Kingdom and India.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to operating segments. Corporate overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, domestic sales and marketing, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

The Company incurred a loss of approximately $13.0 million during the first quarter of 2011 related to unauthorized activities involving one client and twenty-two prepaid card accounts on our Sunrise platform. At that time, the Company identified approximately 7,200 prepaid accounts that may have been at risk and that three individual cardholders' non-public information may have been disclosed as a result of the unauthorized activities. FIS worked with the clients to take appropriate action including blocking and reissuing potentially impacted cards for the affected accounts. We have continued to monitor these accounts. No financial institutions or financial institution customers suffered any financial loss as a result of the attack. See “Business - Government Regulation” for specific steps we intend to take. The loss was recorded in the Corporate and Other Segment.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for reporting segments including data and tables. Reportable segments include those that meet any of the following quantitative thresholds a) it's reported revenue, including sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments b) the absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount of 1) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or 2) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss c) its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Level 1. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2. Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;


•	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
