Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures such as “EBITDA”, “Cash Net Income” and “Free Cash Flow”. These measures should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures. The following is a specific discussion of each measure:

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

Metavante’s management believes that “EBITDA” 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. In addition, Metavante utilizes EBITDA in its evaluation and determination of the price of potential acquisition candidates, to explain trends in its operating performance, and to provide useful information about its ability to incur and service indebtedness. Also, EBITDA is included in the financial covenants applicable to Metavante’s credit facilities. Metavante’s definition of EBITDA may differ from definitions used by other companies.

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. Metavante’s management uses 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 may differ from definitions used by other companies.

Free Cash Flow

Metavante’s management defines “free cash flow” as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow to assess business performance and believes that it 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.
