NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Spin-off and Basis of Presentation In October 2000, the Board of Directors of Equifax Inc. ("Equifax") announced its intent to spin off its Payment Services division, subject to certain conditions, into a separate publicly traded company with its own management and Board of Directors (the "Distribution"). In April 2001, the IRS issued a positive ruling related to the tax-free nature of the Distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On June 11, 2001, the Distribution was approved by Equifax's Board of Directors, and on July 7, 2001, the spin-off was accomplished by transferring the assets, liabilities, and stock of the businesses that comprise the Payment Services division to Certegy Inc. ("Certegy" or the "Company") and then distributing all of the shares of Certegy common stock to Equifax's shareholders. (The term "Company" is also used to refer to the Equifax Payment Services division prior to the distribution.) The Equifax shareholders received one share of Certegy common stock for every two shares of Equifax common stock held. In conjunction with the Distribution, Certegy made a cash payment to Equifax of $275 million. This cash payment was funded through the $400 million of unsecured credit facilities obtained by Certegy in July 2001. Certegy was incorporated on March 2, 2001, under the name Equifax PS, Inc., as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equifax. Certegy did not have any operations, assets, or liabilities until the contribution by Equifax to Certegy of the Payment Services division prior to the Distribution. The Company provides credit and debit card processing and check risk management services to financial institutions and merchants throughout the world, through two segments, Card Services and Check Services. Card Services provides card issuer services in the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, France, and Spain. Also, Card Services provides merchant processing services in the U.S. and card processing software support and consulting services in 27 countries. Check Services provides check risk management services and related processing services in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, France, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This information reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All adjustments made have been of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and the notes to those statements included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10 filed on June 11, 2001. 2. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 3. Shareholders' Equity Treasury Stock. In September 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The Company intends to use this program primarily to balance the dilutive effects of new stock issuances associated with its employee stock-based compensation. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had repurchased 81,400 shares. Comprehensive Income. The components of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: 2001 2000 ------- ------ (in thousands) Net income........................................................................................ $ 60,567 $62,271 Change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment...................................... (34,183) (4,884) Change in cumulative loss from cash flow hedging activities....................................... (453) - -------- ------- Comprehensive income.............................................................................. $ 25,931 $57,387 ======== ======= Page 7
Accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 consists of the following components: September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------- ------------ (in thousands) Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment........................................ $(91,471) $(57,288) Cumulative loss from cash flow hedging activities......................................... (453) -- -------- -------- Accumulated other comprehensive loss...................................................... $(91,924) $(57,288) ======== ======== Unearned Compensation on Restricted Stock. In August 2001, the Company granted 122,566 shares of time vested restricted stock to officers and other key employees under the Certegy 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. The shares vest 100% at the end of the 30-month vesting period. Interim vesting is permitted only in certain circumstances; unvested shares are forfeited upon termination, unless retirement, death, or disability criteria are met. During the vesting period, the participants have rights to vote and receive any declared dividends, but the shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. The fair value of the restricted shares on the date of grant is amortized ratably over the vesting period. Unearned compensation of $4.0 million was initially recorded based on the market value of the shares on the date of grant and is being amortized over 30 months. The unamortized balance of unearned compensation on restricted stock is included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. 4. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares. Prior to the commencement of public trading on July 9, 2001, these amounts were computed by applying the distribution ratio of 0.5 shares of Certegy common stock to the historical Equifax weighted average shares outstanding for the same periods presented. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if stock options were exercised and resulted in additional common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is not presented for periods prior to the third quarter of 2001, as there are no historical market share prices for Certegy common stock prior to July 9, 2001. Accordingly, the dilutive effect of stock options for these periods could not be determined. Pro forma EPS is calculated by dividing pro forma net income by the weighted average number of common shares. Pro forma net income includes adjustments assuming that the Distribution had taken place at the beginning of 2000. The full pro forma consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000, are included in Item 5, "Other Information," of Part II of this quarterly report. A reconciliation of the EPS calculations is as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------ ------------------------ 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------- ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Historical: - ----------- Net Income.......................................................... $24,059 $24,931 $60,567 $62,271 Weighted average shares outstanding - basic......................... 68,618 67,178 68,231 67,060 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options...................................................... 733 Unvested restricted stock.......................................... 17 ------- Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted....................... 69,368 ======= Earnings per share - basic.......................................... $ 0.35 $ 0.37 $ 0.89 $ 0.93 ======= ======= ======= ======= Earnings per share - diluted........................................ $ 0.35 ======= Pro forma: - ---------- Net Income.......................................................... $20,568 $53,453 $49,450 Earnings per share - basic.......................................... $ 0.31 $ 0.78 $ 0.74 ======= ======= ======= Page 8
5. Acquisitions In May 2001, the Company increased its ownership in Unnisa Ltda. ("Unnisa"), a card processing business in Brazil, from 59.3% to 100% by acquiring the remaining interest for a purchase price of $55.5 million. This interest was acquired with cash and accounted for as a purchase. In August 2001, the Company acquired Accu Chek, Inc. ("Accu Chek") for $25.0 million in cash. Accu Chek is the nation's leading provider of third-party check collection services. The results of operations have been included in the consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition and were not material. 6. Transactions with Equifax There were no material intercompany purchase or sale transactions between Equifax and the Company through the Distribution date of July 7, 2001. Prior to the Distribution, the Company sent excess cash to Equifax under Equifax's centralized cash management system. This excess cash and short-term advances to the Company from Equifax are included in the Equifax equity investment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. Prior to the Distribution, the Company was charged with certain Equifax corporate expenses that were allocated to the Company based on the Company's proportionate amount of revenues, number of employees, and other relevant factors as compared to related totals for Equifax. In the opinion of management, those allocations were made on a reasonable basis. Management believes that, had the Company been operating on a stand-alone basis, it would have incurred additional expenses of approximately $3.3 million during the first six months of 2001, which specifically relate to incremental pension expense, insurance costs, corporate headquarters rent, and stand-alone public company costs for audit, director, and stock exchange fees. Management believes that all other costs allocated to the Company are a reasonable representation of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had performed these functions as a stand-alone company. In conjunction with the separation of their businesses, the Company and Equifax entered into various agreements that address the allocation of assets and liabilities between them and that define their relationship after the separation, including the provision of certain transition support services by each party. 7. Segment Information Operating revenues and operating income by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: Three Months Nine Months Ended September 30 Ended September 30 -------------------------- -------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- (In thousands) Operating revenues: Card Services.......................................... $146,572 $131,602 $416,419 $381,003 Check Services......................................... 71,411 63,074 201,956 184,342 -------- -------- -------- -------- $217,983 $194,676 $618,375 $565,345 ======== ======== ======== ======== Operating income: Card Services.......................................... $ 34,837 $ 32,487 $ 85,017 $ 77,679 Check Services......................................... 11,386 10,765 27,973 30,117 -------- -------- -------- -------- 46,223 43,252 112,990 107,796 General Corporate Expense..............................

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 requires that a company recognize derivatives as assets or liabilities on its balance sheet, and also requires that the gain or loss related to the effective portion of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. At September 30, 2001, the Company held one interest rate swap arrangement that, in effect, fixes the interest rate for a related variable rate synthetic lease obligation. This derivative has been designated as a cash flow hedge, was documented as fully effective, and at September 30, 2001 was valued as a liability totaling $1.0 million. The liability is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and the related loss is recorded, net of income tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 eliminates pooling of interests accounting and requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets and requires that goodwill be evaluated for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2002 for acquisitions prior to June 30, 2001. Amortization of goodwill was approximately $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 would have increased by approximately $0.08 had SFAS 142 been effective as of the beginning of 2001. The Company expects to complete its first fair value-based impairment tests by June 30, 2002. Page 10
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the Company's results, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this report. It is also suggested that this management's discussion and analysis be read in conjunction with the management's discussion and analysis, combined financial statements, and pro forma combined financial statements included in the Company's latest Registration Statement on Form 10 filed on June 11, 2001. Overview The Company provides credit and debit card processing and check risk management services to financial institutions and merchants throughout the world, through two segments, Card Services and Check Services. Card Services provides card issuer services in the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, France, and Spain. Also, Card Services provides merchant processing services in the U.S. and card processing software support and consulting services in 27 countries. Check Services provides check risk management services and related processing services in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, France, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Components of Income Statement The Company generates revenue from (i) charges based on transaction volume (U.S.), accounts or cards processed (outside the U.S.), and fees for various services and products (globally) within Card Services, and (ii) charges based on transaction volume and fees for various services and products within Check Services. Revenues depend upon a number of factors, such as demand for and price of the Company's services, the technological competitiveness of the product line, the Company's reputation for providing timely and reliable service, competition within the industry, and general economic conditions. Costs of services consist primarily of the costs of transaction processing systems, personnel to develop and maintain applications and operate computer networks and to provide customer support, losses on check guarantee services, interchange and other fees on merchant processing, and depreciation and occupancy costs associated with the facilities performing these functions. Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages, and related expenses paid to sales, non-revenue customer support functions and administrative employees and management, and certain Equifax corporate costs that have been allocated to the Company. Results of Operations The following table summarizes the Company's consolidated results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 ------------------------ ----------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------ ------ ------ ------ (In millions, except per share amounts) Revenue............................................................ $218.0 $194.7 $618.4 $565.3 Operating income................................................... $ 42.7 $ 41.4 $105.1 $101.9 Other income (expense), net........................................ $ 0.4 $ 1.9 $ (0.1) $ 1.3 Interest expense................................................... $ (3.7) $ (0.4) $ (4.1) $ (0.5) Net income......................................................... $ 24.1 $ 24.9 $ 60.6 $ 62.3 Basic earnings per share........................................... $ 0.35 $ 0.37 $ 0.89 $ 0.93 Diluted earnings per share......................................... $ 0.35 Pro forma basic earnings per share................................. $ 0.31 $ 0.78 $ 0.74 As a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the Company experienced a significant decline in volumes during the week following September 11, although volumes continued to improve throughout the remainder of the month. Both the Check Services and Card Services businesses were negatively impacted by these attacks; however, the Card Services business was impacted to a much lesser degree. Management estimates that the terrorist attacks reduced third quarter 2001 revenue by $2.3 million, operating income by $1.1 million, net income by $0.7 million, and diluted earnings per share by $0.01. Revenue and operating income in the Card Services segment declined by an estimated $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. In the Check Services segment, volume declines attributed to the terrorist attacks reduced third quarter 2001 revenue by approximately $1.6 million and operating profit by $0.8 million. Page 11
Revenue Third Quarter 2001 compared with Third Quarter 2000 Revenue in the third quarter of 2001 of $218.0 million grew $23.3 million, or 12.0%, over the third quarter of 2000. Card Services experienced revenue growth of 11.4% or $15.0 million, while Check Services revenue increased $8.3 million or 13.2%. The revenue growth was driven primarily by higher volumes, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates, volume declines associated with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and a decrease in software licensing revenue in order to focus on growing the global processing operations. Additionally, the acquisition of Accu Chek, Inc. ("Accu Chek") in August 2001 contributed $1.7 million in revenue. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, particularly the British pound and the Brazilian real, reduced U.S. dollar equivalent revenue growth by $6.9 million, resulting in U.S. dollar revenue growth being 350 basis points below local currency revenue growth rates. The terrorist attacks negatively impacted revenue by an estimated $2.3 million. First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 Revenue in the first nine months of 2001 of $618.4 million increased by $53.0 million, or 9.4% compared to one year ago. Card Services and Check Services generated revenue growth of $35.4 million, or 9.3%, and $17.6 million, or 9.6%, respectively. The increase in revenue was a result of increased volumes and the Accu Chek acquisition and was partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, particularly the British pound and the Brazilian real, reduced U.S. dollar equivalent revenue growth by $17.1 million, resulting in U.S. dollar revenue growth being 300 basis points below local currency revenue growth rates. Operating Expenses Third Quarter 2001 compared with Third Quarter 2000 Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2001 of $175.3 million increased $22.0 million, or 14.4%, over the third quarter of 2000. Operating expenses for Card Services and Check Services increased $12.6 million, or 12.7%, and $7.7 million, or 14.8%, respectively, while Corporate operating expenses rose $1.7 million, or 92.6%. Costs of services in the third quarter of 2001 increased by $21.1 million, or 16.3%, over the third quarter of 2000, primarily driven by higher volumes in both business segments and higher guarantee loss rates in Check Services. An increase in card merchant and issuing volume added $12.2 million of cost, and higher check volume and loss rates added $8.9 million of cost. Selling, general, and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2001 increased $1.0 million, or 4.0%, over the third quarter of 2000 due to the incremental costs the Company incurred as a stand-alone public entity. First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 Total operating expenses in the first nine months of 2001 of $513.3 million increased $49.9 million, or 10.8%, over the first nine months of 2000. Card Services' operating expenses grew $28.1 million, or 9.3%, Check Services' operating expenses grew $19.8 million, or 12.8%, and Corporate expense grew $2.0 million, or 34.3%. Costs of services in the first nine months of 2001 increased by $48.2 million, or 12.4%, over the first nine months of 2000, principally driven by increased volumes in both business segments, including higher guarantee loss rates in Check Services. An increase in card merchant and issuing volume added $27.7 million of cost, and higher check volume and loss rates added $20.5 million of cost. Selling, general, and administrative expense in the first nine months of 2001 increased $1.6 million, or 2.2%, over the first nine months of 2000 as a result of the incremental costs incurred as a stand-alone company.

Operating Income Third Quarter 2001 compared with Third Quarter 2000 Operating income of $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 increased $1.3 million, or 3.1% compared to the third quarter of 2000. Combined operating margins were 19.6% in 2001 versus 21.3% in 2000. The decline in operating margin was driven principally by the higher levels of low-margin merchant processing revenues of Card Services and decreased profits of Check Services caused by higher comparative check guarantee loss rates. First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 Operating income of $105.1 million in the first nine months of 2001 increased $3.2 million, or 3.1%, over the first nine months of 2000. Combined operating margins were 17.0% and 18.0% in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Operating income was negatively impacted by lower profits in Check Services, caused by higher comparative check guarantee loss rates, and declines in software license sales, partially offset by revenue growth and improved profits in the Card Services segment primarily in the first quarter of 2001. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense) primarily consists of net foreign exchange losses. In the third quarter and year-to-date 2001, other income (expense), net decreased $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as the Company realized a gain on the disposition of an investment in September 2000. Interest Expense Interest expense for the first six months of the year principally consists of interest paid on a line of credit held by Unnisa, the Company's card processing operation in Brazil, and interest charged by Equifax on overnight funds borrowed on the Company's behalf. The Company was not allocated any Equifax corporate debt or related interest expense as, historically, these amounts were not allocated to the operating divisions by Equifax. Third quarter interest expense is predominantly related to $275 million of debt used to fund the cash payment to Equifax in conjunction with the Distribution on July 7, 2001. Effective Tax Rate The provision for income taxes in the Company's combined statements of income reflects federal, state, and foreign taxes calculated using the separate return basis. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2001 was 39.0%, which is the expected rate for the entire year. The effective tax rate in 2000 was 39.1%. Net Income and Earnings per Share Third Quarter 2001 compared with Third Quarter 2000 Net income in the third quarter 2001 of $24.1 million decreased $0.9 million, or 3.5%, below the third quarter of 2000 and was primarily the result of an increase in interest expense of $3.3 million and a decrease in other income (expense), net of $1.5 million, offset in part by a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $1.4 million, an increase in operating income of $1.3 million, and a decrease in minority interest in earnings, net of tax of $1.2 million. In the third quarter 2000, minority interest in earnings, net of tax related to minority ownerships in the net loss of Unnisa, the Company's Brazilian card processing operation, and the U.K. card operations. The Company acquired full ownership of the U.K. card operation in September 2000 and Unnisa in May 2001. As a result, there was no minority interest in earnings, net of tax in the third quarter 2001. First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 Net income in the first nine months of 2001 of $60.6 million decreased $1.7 million, or 2.7% in relation to the first nine months of 2000. The decline is primarily driven by an increase in interest expense of $3.6 million as a result of the related debt incurred to finance the Distribution on July 7, 2001. Additionally, other income (expense), net decreased $1.5 million due primarily to the realization of a gain on the disposition of an investment in September 2000. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by an improvement in operating income of $3.2 million. Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares. Prior Page 13
to the commencement of public trading on July 9, 2001, these amounts were computed by applying the distribution ratio of 0.5 shares of Certegy common stock to the historical Equifax weighted average shares outstanding for the same periods presented. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if stock options were exercised and resulted in additional common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is not presented for periods prior to the third quarter of 2001, as there are no historical market share prices for Certegy common stock prior to July 9, 2001. Accordingly, the dilutive effect of stock options for these periods could not be determined. Segment Results The following table summarizes the segment results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000: Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September 30 -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Revenue Operating Income Revenue Operating Income ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------- ------- ------ ------ ------- ------- ------- ------ (In millions) Card Services....................... $146.6 $131.6 $34.8 $32.4 $416.4 $381.0 $ 85.0 $ 77.7 Check Services...................... 71.4 63.1 11.4 10.8 202.0 184.3 28.0 30.1 ------ ------ ------ ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ 218.0 194.7 46.2 43.2 618.4 565.3 113.0 107.8 General Corporate Expense........... - - (3.5) (1.8) - - (7.9) (5.9) ------ ------ ----- ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ $218.0 $194.7 $42.7 $41.4 $618.4 $565.3 $105.1 $101.9 ====== ====== ===== ===== ====== ====== ====== ====== Pro Forma........................... $39.8 $101.8 $ 97.0 ===== ====== ====== Card Services Third Quarter 2001 compared with Third Quarter 2000 In the third quarter of 2001, Card Services' revenue increased $15.0 million, an increase of 11.4% over the third quarter of 2000. Revenue in the U.S. of $118.8 million in the 2001 quarter was an increase of $17.9 million, or 17.7%, over the prior year quarter, Of this increase, the card issuing business contributed $8.2 million, while revenues in the merchant processing business rose $9.7 million, both as a result of higher volumes. International revenue of $27.8 million in the third quarter decreased $2.9 million, or 9.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2000. The decline in international revenue is due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations in the Brazilian real and the British pound have negatively impacted revenues by approximately $6.6 million. On a local currency basis, international revenue increased by 17.1%. In addition, revenues in the third quarter of 2000 included price adjustments in the United Kingdom; similar price increases did not occur in the third quarter of 2001. These decreases were offset to some extent by the start-up of the Australian operations and growth in the Brazilian account base. Card Services' operating income increased $2.4 million, or 7.2%, above the prior year quarter. Operating margins were 23.8% in the third quarter of 2001 versus 24.7% in the prior year. The slight decrease was due primarily to exchange rate fluctuations and price adjustments in the prior year quarter, largely offset by the start-up of the Australian operations and higher earnings in Brazil. First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 During the first nine months of 2001, Card Services experienced revenue growth of $35.4 million, representing an increase of 9.3% over the same period one year ago. Domestic revenue of $333.4 million increased $35.7 million, or 12.1%, over the prior year, driven by rising card issuing transactions and merchant volumes. International revenue of $83.0 million in the first nine months of 2001 decreased $3.4 million, or 3.9%, year over year. International revenue includes software licensing revenue, which has declined from $9.1 million in the first nine months of 2000 to $6.1 million in the first nine months of 2001, as the Company has de-emphasized software licensing revenues in order to grows its global processing operations. Also contributing to the international revenue decline was the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate changes of the Brazilian real and the British pound reduced revenue growth by approximately $14.7 million. On a local currency basis, international revenue increased by approximately 20.7%. These decreases were partly offset by the growth in account base in Brazil and the start-up of the Australian operations. Card Services' operating income in the first nine months of 2001 increased $7.3 million, or 9.4%, over the first nine months of 2000. Operating margins remained constant at 20.4% for the first six months 2001 and 2000 as revenue growth was entirely Page 14
offset by foreign currency fluctuations and the planned decrease in software licensing activity. Check Services Third Quarter 2001 compared with Third Quarter 2000 Check Services' revenue in the third quarter of 2001 increased $8.3 million, a 13.2% growth over the same period one year ago. Revenue in the U.S. of $59.2 million rose $8.4 million, or 16.4%, over the third quarter of 2000, driven by increased volume largely resulting from the addition of new customers as well as the acquisition of Accu Chek in August 2001, which contributed $1.7 million in revenue. The face amount of checks authorized in the U.S. totaled $7.0 billion in the third quarter of 2001 compared to $6.0 billion in the third quarter of 2000. These gains were partially offset by volume declines immediately following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which had an estimated $1.6 million impact on revenue. Internationally, revenue maintained prior year levels with reported revenue of $12.2 million. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulted in a $0.3 million reduction in revenue. The face amount of checks authorized in the international operations decreased slightly from $0.8 billion in the third quarter of 2000 to $0.7 billion in 2001. On a local currency basis, international revenue increased approximately 2.7%. Check Services' third quarter operating income increased $0.6 million, or 5.8% over the third quarter of 2000. Operating margins were 16.0% in the 2001 quarter and 17.1% in the 2000 quarter. The decline in profitability is attributed to higher check guarantee loss rates. First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 Check Services' revenue in the first nine months of 2001 increased $17.6 million, representing a 9.6% growth over the first nine months of 2000. Year- to-date revenue in the U.S. of $165.5 million increased $18.3 million, or 12.5% over the same period one year ago largely because of the addition of new customers. The face amount of checks authorized in the U.S. totaled $19.9 billion and $17.8 billion in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. International revenue of $36.5 million decreased $0.7 million, or 1.9% compared to the first nine months of 2000. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound reduced international check revenue by $2.4 million. The face amount of checks authorized in the international operations was $2.3 billion in 2001 versus $2.4 billion in 2000. On a local currency basis, international revenue increased approximately 4.5%. Check Services' operating income in the first nine months of 2001 decreased $2.1 million, or 7.1%, below the first nine months of 2000. Year-to-date operating margins were 13.9% and 16.3% in 2001 and 2000, respectively, primarily because of higher check guarantee loss rates in 2001. Page 15
General Corporate General corporate expense of $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2001 increased $1.7 million over the prior-year period. Corporate expenses recorded prior to the distribution on July 7, 2001 represent certain Equifax corporate expenses that were allocated to the Company based on the Company's proportionate amount of revenues, number of employees, and other relevant factors as compared to related totals for Equifax. In the opinion of management, those allocations were made on a reasonable basis. The increase in general corporate expenses is due to incremental costs incurred by the Company as a stand-alone public company, including pension expense, insurance costs, corporate headquarters rent, and stand-alone public company costs for audit, director, and stock exchange fees. The increase in pension expense is a result of the Company no longer benefiting from the over-funded status of the consolidated Equifax pension plan. Management believes that all other costs allocated to the Company are a reasonable representation of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had performed these functions as a stand-alone company. Liquidity and Capital Resources First Nine Months 2001 compared with First Nine Months 2000 Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $83.1 million in the first nine months of 2001 as compared with $83.0 million in the first nine months of 2000. The 2001 amount was reduced by $29.0 million related to the timing of settlements in the card and merchant processing clearing system. Operating activities provided cash of $112.1 million and $92.1 million in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively, before the effect of this settlement activity. Operating cash flow has been sufficient to fund capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $119.7 million in the first nine months of 2001 and $43.2 million in the first nine months of 2000. Capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, amounted to $40.7 million and $25.8 million in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Acquisitions, net of cash acquired, totaled $79.0 million and $24.3 million in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company expects total capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, to approximate $48 million in 2001. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities amounted to $53.1 million in the first nine months of 2001 and $(39.3) million in the first nine months of 2000. Net borrowings from (repayments to) Equifax amounted to ($206.6) million and $(39.6) million in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. In July 2001, the Company obtained $400 million of unsecured credit facilities, a portion of which was used to fund the cash payment to Equifax of $275 million on July 7, 2001. Management believes that the current level of cash and cash equivalents, $43.2 million as of June 30, 2001, future cash flows from operations, and the amount of the credit facility in excess of the $275 million payment described above, will be sufficient to meet the needs of existing operations and planned requirements for the foreseeable future. Management regularly evaluates cash requirements for current operations, development activities, and acquisitions. The Company may elect to raise additional funds for these purposes, either through further bank financing or the public capital markets, as appropriate. Based on the Company's recent financial results and current financial position, management believes that additional funding will be available if required to meet the Company's capital requirements. Seasonality, Inflation, and Economic Downturns The Company is subject to the impact of general economic conditions; however, this has historically been mitigated by the continued demand for payment transaction processing. The Company is also subject to certain seasonal fluctuations such as peak activity during the holiday buying season. Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the Company's operating results. However, inflation could adversely affect the financial results were inflation to result in a substantial weakening in economic conditions that adversely affect the level of consumer spending.

Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the Company and its industry. They are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ significantly from what is expressed in those statements. The factors that could, either individually or in the aggregate, affect the Company's performance include matters such as a change in the growth rate of the overall U.S. economy, or the international economies where the Company does business, such that consumer spending and related consumer debt are impacted; a decline or change in the marketing techniques of credit card issuers; a reversal of the trend toward credit card use increasing as a percentage of total consumer expenditures; unanticipated cancellation or termination of customer contracts; risks associated with investments and operations in foreign countries, including regulatory environments, exchange rate fluctuations, and local political, social, and economic factors; the extent to which the Company can continue successful development and marketing of new products and services; and generally other risks listed in the "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" sections of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Approximately 18.9% of the Company's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 38% of the Company's assets at September 30, 2001 are associated with operations outside of the U.S. The U.S. dollar balance sheets and statements of income for these businesses are subject to currency fluctuations. The Company is most vulnerable to fluctuations in the Brazilian real and the British pound against the U.S. dollar. Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk, as it has not been cost-effective. The impact of currency fluctuations on profitability has not been significant since both revenue and costs of these businesses are denominated in local currency. The Company may use derivative financial instruments in the future if it is deemed to be useful in mitigating an exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The cumulative translation adjustment, largely related to the Company's investment in Unnisa, the Brazilian card processing operation, was a $91.9 million and $57.3 million reduction of shareholder's equity at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

CERTEGY INC. Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income Adjustments The following pro forma adjustments were made to the historical consolidated statements of income of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 to reflect the Distribution as if it had occurred on January 1, 2000. Since the distribution occurred on July 7, 2001, there were no pro forma adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Accordingly, a pro forma balance sheet at September 30, 2001 and a pro forma income statement for the three months then ended are not presented. (a) To reflect additional expenses of approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, which specifically relate to incremental pension expense, insurance costs, corporate headquarters rent, and stand-alone public company costs for audit, director, and stock exchange fees. (b) To reflect interest expense on the $275 million of debt to be used to fund the cash payment to Equifax in conjunction with the Distribution, at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points (7.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 5.76% and 7.49% for the first six months of 2001 and the first nine months of 2000, respectively), plus amortization of financing costs over the three-year term of the debt. (c) To reflect the income tax benefit resulting from the pro forma adjustments using the Company's effective tax rate for the period. Page 21
