Metavante Technologies, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This databook contains non-GAAP financial measures such as “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Cash Net Income”, “Adjusted Cash Net Income”, “Free Cash Flow”, and “Adjusted Net Income”. These measures should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures. The reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the appropriate GAAP measures can be found on the respective pages on which the measures are presented.

The following is a specific discussion of each measure:

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

Metavante’s management believes that “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” are useful for evaluating performance against peer companies within its industry, as well as providing investors additional transparency to a financial measure used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Metavante utilizes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation and determination of the price of potential acquisition candidates, and to explain trends in its operating performance and believes it provides useful information about its ability to incur and service indebtedness. Also, EBITDA is included in the financial covenants applicable to Metavante’s credit facilities. EBITDA, as defined in the financial covenants, also excludes certain non-cash charges, such as impairment charges and stock option expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding costs related to the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007. Metavante’s definition of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may differ from definitions used by other companies.

Cash Net Income and Adjusted Cash Net Income

Metavante’s management defines “cash net income” as net income before (1) stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, and (2) the amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, net of tax. Adjusted cash net income excludes the items described above as well as the costs related to the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and the impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007. Metavante’s management uses cash net income and adjusted cash net income to assess business performance and believes that it is useful for evaluating performance against peer companies within its industry, as well as providing investors additional transparency to a financial measure used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Metavante’s definition of cash net income and adjusted cash net income may differ from definitions used by other companies.

Free Cash Flow

Metavante’s management defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Metavante’s management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding Metavante’s ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, and debt service. Metavante’s definition of free cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.

Adjusted Net Income

Metavante’s management defines “adjusted net income” as income excluding costs related to the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007. Metavante’s management believes that adjusted net income is meaningful to investors because it is an indicator of the ongoing operating performance of Metavante’s business. Metavante’s definition of adjusted net income may be different from definitions used by other companies.
