FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

CERTEGY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER DILUTED EPS

FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS OF $0.36, OR $0.47

BEFORE DIRECT MERGER AND ACQUISITION COSTS

 

St. Petersburg, FL, October 25, 2005 – Certegy Inc. (NYSE:CEY) today reported third quarter 2005 diluted earnings per share of $0.37, including income from discontinued operations of $0.01 per diluted share and direct merger and acquisition costs of $(0.11) per diluted share.

 

During the third quarter of 2005, the Company incurred investment banking, legal, accounting and other direct costs of $6.1 million related to its pending merger with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and $0.9 million related to the possible formation and acquisition of a majority ownership in a card and merchant processing joint venture in Brazil, which is currently under exclusive negotiation with two leading Brazilian banks. The ultimate tax treatment of these costs cannot be determined with adequate certainty; therefore, no tax benefit has been recorded. Third quarter 2005 results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are reconciled with non-GAAP results excluding these merger and acquisition (M&A) costs, as follows:

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Summarized highlights of the 2005 third quarter results from continuing operations, as compared to the third quarter of 2004, are as follows:

 

    Revenue increased 7.7% to $282.8 million.

 

    Card Services increased 11.4%.

 

    Check Services increased 2.8%.

 

    Operating income of $43.0 million includes $7.0 million of merger and acquisition costs. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the merger and acquisition costs, operating income increased 12.1% to $50.0 million.

 

    Card Services increased 2.6% (5.1% non-GAAP).

 

    Check Services increased 22.6%.

 

    Corporate expense increased 97.0% (decreased 2.6% non-GAAP).

 

    Income from continuing operations was $22.7 million. On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations increased 14.4% to $29.7 million.

 

    Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.36. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 14.6% to $0.47.

 

    Capital expenditures totaled $14.8 million.

 

“The underlying fundamentals in each of our businesses remain strong, despite the challenging retail environment. We are particularly pleased with the new business signings and the growth prospects in our international card operation,” said Lee A. Kennedy, chairman and chief executive officer of Certegy Inc. “In addition, the pending merger with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., will provide additional growth opportunities for our company and further strengthen our competitive position.”

 

SEGMENT RESULTS

 

Card Services generated revenue of $166.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 11.4% above the 2004 quarter. Revenue growth of 10.9% in the Company’s North American card operation was the result of growth in card processing services, e-payments (Internet banking and electronic bill payment), and institution merchant processing. North American card transactions increased 5.2%, driven by 5.1% growth in number of cards processed. Higher adoption of loyalty programs resulted in 14.1% growth in card enhancement revenue. Internet banking subscribers increased 18.2% and electronic bill payment users increased 31.9%. Institution merchant processing volumes increased 20.8%, driven by 14.0% growth in transactions and higher average ticket. International card revenue increased 13.2%, primarily due to growth within existing customers in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. The favorable net impact of currency rates was offset by lower revenue in the U.K. caused by the previously announced bankruptcy of a full-service customer.

 

Card Services operating income of $36.7 million increased 2.6%, compared to $35.8 million in the third quarter of 2004. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company incurred $0.9 million of investment banking, legal, accounting and other direct costs in connection with the on-going exclusive negotiation with two leading Brazilian banks regarding the possible formation and

acquisition of a majority ownership in a card and merchant processing joint venture. Excluding these costs from the third quarter results, Card Services’ operating income increased 5.1% to $37.6 million. Card Services operating margin of 22.0% in the third quarter of 2005 decreased by 190 basis points compared to an operating margin of 23.9% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to joint venture formation costs and product mix shift driven by strongest revenue growth coming from products and services with margins lower than the overall Card Services average margin.

 

The Company announced that it has finalized a multi-year transaction processing agreement with Lafayette Services, S.A. (“LaSer”), a leading European retail specialist service group to provide card and loan transaction processing services to LaSer Subsidiaries in the U.K., Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Holland.

 

Check Services generated revenue of $116.2 million in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 2.8% over the 2004 quarter. New customer additions and strong growth in cash access services were partially offset by unfavorable currency rates and lower than expected check guarantee volumes. Cash access transactions and check volumes were negatively impacted by the Gulf Coast storms and the resulting impact of rising energy prices on retail spending.

 

Check Services operating income of $18.4 million increased 22.6% compared to $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2004. Check Services operating margin of 15.8% in the third quarter of 2005 increased by 260 basis points compared to an operating margin of 13.2% in the prior year quarter. Certegy’s proprietary risk modeling technology, improved collection techniques and higher cash access profitability drove the margin expansion in Check Services.

 

Corporate expense of $12.0 million increased by $5.9 million over the prior year quarter. The increase is attributable to $6.1 million of investment banking, legal, accounting and other direct costs related to the pending merger with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. Excluding these costs from the third quarter results, Corporate expense of $6.0 million was $0.2 million below the prior year quarter, due largely to favorable annual insurance premium renewals, effective July 1, 2005, and lower stock option expense.

 

Interest expense of $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. Other income, which is primarily comprised of interest income, totaled $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. Interest income increased due to higher average cash balances and higher interest rates.

 

The effective tax rate of 44.1% in the third quarter of 2005 reflects the impact of not recognizing a tax benefit associated with the merger and acquisition costs of $7.0 million incurred during the quarter. Excluding these costs, the effective tax rate was 37.6% on a non-GAAP basis.

 

SALE OF MERCHANT ACQUIRING BUSINESS

 

In September 2005, Certegy completed the sale of its remaining discontinued merchant acquiring portfolio for $3.0 million of cash, which approximated net book value at date of sale.

OUTLOOK

 

Management provided its non-GAAP earnings outlook for the fourth quarter of 2005 as follows. This guidance is based on the Company’s continuing operations only, and excludes merger and acquisition costs:

 

    Revenue growth of approximately 6% to 8%, driven by upper single-digit revenue growth in Card Services and low to mid single-digit growth in Check Services.

 

    Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.60 to $0.62, representing growth of 13.2% to 17.0% over $0.53 in 2004.
