FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PLAN APPROVED TO SELL MERCHANT ACQUIRING BUSINESS

 

Alpharetta, GA, October 21, 2004 – Certegy Inc. (NYSE:CEY) today reported third quarter 2004 diluted earnings per share of $0.46. The Certegy Inc. Board of Directors has approved a plan to sell the Company’s retail merchant acquiring business, which has been reclassified as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements and discussion of results.

  Revenue increased 13.2% to $262.7 million.

 

  Operating income increased 12.6% to $47.1 million.

SEGMENT RESULTS

 

Card Services generated revenue of $149.5 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 6.7% above the 2003 quarter. Revenue growth of 5.2% in the Company’s North American card issuing operation resulted from growth in transactions, new customer signings, sales of e-banking services and card loyalty programs, and revenue from the acquisition of Crittson Financial LLC, which closed in the first quarter. International card issuing revenue increased by 26.0%, primarily due to growth from existing customers, card re-issuance fees, and the third quarter 2004 acquisition of Caribbean CariCard Services. Card Services operating income of $36.7 million increased 5.1%, compared to $34.9 million in the third quarter of 2003. Card Services operating margin was 24.5%, compared to 24.9% in the third quarter of 2003.

 

Check Services generated revenue of $113.1 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 23.3% above the 2003 quarter. The strong performance was driven by growth in the Company’s domestic and international customer base, and growth in cash access services, including the first quarter 2004 acquisition of Game Financial Corporation. Check Services operating income of $15.5 million increased 30.6%, compared to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2003. Check Services operating margin was 13.7%, compared to 12.9% in the third quarter of 2003.

 

Corporate expense of $5.1 million increased 2.9% over the prior year quarter. The increase in corporate expense has moderated from the first half of 2004 due to favorable insurance premium renewals and the containment of discretionary costs.

 

Interest expense of $3.3 million increased by $1.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2003. Higher interest rates on the Company’s borrowings driven by the September 2003 issuance of 4.75% fixed rate notes, higher average outstanding revolving credit borrowings, and the impact of FIN 46 lease accounting, effective December 31, 2003, generated the increase in interest expense.

 

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The Board of Directors of Certegy Inc has approved a plan to sell the Company’s retail merchant acquiring business. The Company will continue to provide clearing and settlement processing services to its North American financial institution customers. In the third quarters of 2004 and 2003, income from discontinued operations amounted to $0.02 per diluted share.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company expects revenue growth of 14% to 16% in the fourth quarter of 2004, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.53 to $0.55. Discontinued operations could contribute an additional $0.02 per diluted share, if held for the entire quarter. The Company expects to realize an undisclosed gain upon sale of the merchant acquiring business, which is not included in these per share amounts.
