described below; all references to Former FIS are to Fidelity National Information Services,

shares through November 9, 2006: and all references to "FNF are to Fidelity National Financial,
Inc. (formerly known as Fidelity National Title Group, Inc.), formerly a subsidiary of Old FNF but
now an independent company that remains a related entity from an accounting perspective.
(1) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of Fidelity
National Information Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should
be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006.
FIS is a leading provider of technology solutions, processing services, and information-based
services to the financial services industry. On February 1, 2006, the Company completed a merger
with Certegy (the Certegy Merger) (Note 5) which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and
purchase accounting was applied to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Certegy. In form,
Certegy was the legal acquirer in the Certegy Merger and the continuing registrant for SEC
reporting purposes. However, due to the majority ownership in the combined entity held by FIS
shareholders, FIS was designated the acquirer for accounting purposes and, effective on the Certegy
Merger date, the historical financial statements of FIS became the historical financial statements
of the continuing registrant for all periods prior to the Certegy Merger. The results of operations
of Certegy are only included in these historical financial statements for periods subsequent to the
Certegy Merger. Immediately after the Certegy Merger, the name of the SEC registrant was changed to
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
Shortly after consummating the Certegy Merger, the Company implemented a new organizational
structure, which resulted in the formation of new operating segments beginning with the reporting
of results for the first quarter of 2006 (Note 12). Effective as of February 1, 2006, the Companys
reportable segments are Transaction Processing Services, or TPS, and Lender Processing Services, or
LPS.
|
|
|
Transaction Processing Services. This segment focuses on serving the processing and risk
management needs of financial institutions and retailers. The primary software applications
function as the underlying infrastructure of a financial institutions processing
environment. These applications include core bank processing software, which banks use to
maintain the primary records of their customer accounts. The Company also provides a number
of complementary applications and services that interact directly with the core processing
applications, including applications that facilitate interactions between financial
institution customers and their clients. The Company offers applications and services
through a range of delivery and service models, including on-site outsourcing and remote
processing arrangements, as well as on a licensed software basis for installation on
customer-owned and operated systems. This segment also includes card issuer services, which
enable banks, credit unions, and others to issue VISA and MasterCard credit and debit cards,
private label cards, and other electronic payment cards for use by both consumer and
business accounts. In addition the Company provides check guarantee and verification
services to retailers. |
|
|
|
|
Lender Processing Services. This segment offers core mortgage processing software, which
banks use to process and service mortgage loans, as well as customized outsourced business
processes and information solutions primarily to national lenders and loan servicers. These
processes include centralized, customized title agency and closing services offered to first
mortgage, refinance, home equity and sub-prime lenders. In addition, this segment provides
default management services to national lenders and loan servicers, allowing customers to
outsource the business processes necessary to take a loan and the underlying real estate
securing the loan through the default and foreclosure process. This segments information
solutions include property data and real estate-related services. Included in these services
are appraisal and valuation services, property records information, real estate tax
services, and borrower credit and flood zone information. |
|
|
|
|
The Company also has a corporate segment that consists of the
corporate overhead and other operations that are not included in the
other segments. |

(2) Combination with FNF
On June 25, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the FNF Merger
Agreement) with FNF (amended September 18, 2006) (the FNF Merger). The FNF Merger was one step
in a plan that eliminated FNFs holding company structure and majority ownership of FIS. In
connection with this plan, FNF also entered into a securities exchange and distribution agreement
(the SEDA) with its subsidiary Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (FNT). Under the SEDA, FNF
agreed that, prior to the merger, FNF would transfer substantially all its assets and liabilities
to FNT, in exchange for shares of FNT common stock. FNF then would spin-off all shares of FNT stock
it held to the stockholders of FNF in a tax-free distribution. Pursuant to the FNF Merger
Agreement, on November 9, 2006 FNF merged with and into FIS, with FIS continuing as the surviving
corporation. In consideration for the FNF Merger, FNF stockholders received an aggregate of
96,521,877 shares of FIS stock for their FNF shares. In addition, in connection with the FNF Merger
FIS issued options to purchase FIS common stock and shares of FIS restricted stock in exchange for
FNF options and restricted stock outstanding at the time of the FNF Merger. The FNF Merger followed
the completion on October 24, 2006, of FNTs acquisition under the SEDA of substantially all of the
assets and liabilities of FNF (other than FNFs interests in FIS and in FNF Capital Leasing, Inc.,
a small subsidiary which merged into FIS in a separate transaction) in exchange for 45,265,956
shares of FNTs Class A common stock, and FNFs subsequent spin-off of FNT shares (the FNT
Distribution). Pursuant to the SEDA and after the completion of all of the transactions, FNT was
renamed Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (New FNF) and now trades under the symbol FNF. Former
FNF Chairman and CEO William P. Foley, II, assumed a similar position in New FNF and now serves as
Executive Chairman of FIS, and other key members of FNF senior management continued their
involvement in both New FNF and FIS in executive capacities.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that one of the two parties to the FNF
Merger be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. However, Financial Accounting
Standards Board Technical Bulletin 85-5, Issues Relating to Accounting for Business Combinations
provides that if a transaction lacks substance, it is not a purchase event and should be accounted
for based on existing carrying amounts. In the FNF Merger, the minority interest of FIS has not
changed and the only assets and liabilities of the combined entity after the exchange are those of
FIS prior to the exchange. Because a change in ownership of the minority interest did not take
place, the exchange has been accounted for based on the carrying amounts of our assets and
liabilities.
(3) Transactions with Related Parties
The Company has historically conducted business with FNF and its subsidiaries. In March 2005,
in connection with the recapitalization of, and sale of a minority equity interest in the Company,
FIS entered into various agreements with FNF under which it has continued to provide title agency
services, title plant management, and IT services. Further, the Company also entered into service
agreements with FNF under which FNF continued to provide corporate services. In September 2005,
when FNT was formed and the title insurance business was consolidated under FNT, many of these
agreements were amended and restated to take into account the services that would be performed for
and by FNT rather than FNF. On February 1, 2006, in connection with the closing of the Certegy
Merger, many of these agreements were further amended and restated to reflect changes in the
parties relationships. Certain of these agreements were further amended or terminated in
connection with the FNF Merger and related transactions. A summary of these agreements in effect
through March 31, 2007 is as follows:
|
|
|
Agreement to provide data processing services. This agreement governs the revenues to be
earned by the Company for providing IT support services and software, primarily
infrastructure support and data center management, to FNF and its subsidiaries. Subject to
certain early termination provisions (including the payment of minimum monthly service and
termination fees), this agreement has an initial term of five years from February 2006 with
an option to renew for one or two additional years. |

FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Continued
|
|
Agreements to provide title plant information, maintenance and management. These
agreements govern the fee structure under which the Company is paid for maintaining,
managing and updating title plants owned by FNFs title underwriters in certain parts of the
country. The title plant maintenance agreement requires, among other things, that the
Company gather updated property information, organize it, input it into one of several
systems, maintain or obtain the use of necessary software and hardware to store, access and
deliver the data, sell and deliver the data to customers and provide various forms of customer
support. The Company sells property information to title underwriters which are subsidiaries of
FNF as well as to various unaffiliated customers. The Company pays FNF a royalty fee of 2.5% to
3.75% of the revenues received. In the case of the maintenance agreement, the Company is
responsible for the costs of keeping the title plant assets current and functioning and in
return receives the revenue generated by those assets. Subject to certain early termination
provisions for cause, each of these agreements may be terminated upon five years prior written
notice, which notice may not be given until after the fifth anniversary of the effective date
of the agreement in May 2005 (thus effectively resulting in a minimum ten year term and a
rolling one-year term thereafter). |
|
|
|
Agreements to provide software development and services. These agreements govern the fee
structure under which the Company is paid for providing software development and services to
FNF which consist of developing software for use in the title operations of FNF. |
|
|
|
Arrangements to provide other real estate related services. Under these arrangements the
Company is paid for providing other real estate related services to FNF, which consist
primarily of data services required by the title insurance operations. |
|
|
|
Agreements by FNF to provide corporate services to the Company. Through November 9,
2006, these agreements provided for FNF to provide general management, accounting, treasury,
tax, finance, payroll, human resources, employee benefits, internal audit, mergers and
acquisitions, and other corporate and administrative support to the Company. Since November
9, 2006, these charges only relate to certain less significant activities performed or
recorded by FNF on behalf of the Company. The pricing of these services is at cost for
services which are either directly attributable to the Company, or in certain circumstances,
an allocation of the Companys share of the total costs incurred by FNF in providing such
services based on estimates that FNF and the Company believe to be reasonable |
|
|
|
Licensing, leasing, cost sharing and other agreements. These agreements provide for the
reimbursement of certain amounts from FNF or its subsidiaries related to various
miscellaneous licensing, leasing, and cost sharing agreements, as well as the payment of
certain amounts by the Company to FNF or its subsidiaries in connection with the Companys
use of certain intellectual property or other assets of or services by FNF. |
|
|
|
Agreements to provide title agency services. These agreements allow the Company to
provide services to existing customers through loan facilitation transactions, primarily
with large national lenders. The arrangement involves the Company providing title agency
services which result in the issuance of title policies by the Company on behalf of title
insurance underwriters owned by FNF and subsidiaries. Subject to certain early termination
provisions for cause, each of these agreements may be terminated upon five years prior
written notice, which notice may not be given until after the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of the agreement ranging from July 2004 through September 2006 for various
agreements (thus effectively resulting in a minimum ten year term and a rolling one-year
term thereafter). The LPS segment includes revenues from unaffiliated third parties of $32.2
million and $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
representing commissions on title insurance policies placed by the Company on behalf of
title insurance subsidiaries of FNF. These commissions in aggregate are equal to approximately 88% of the
total title premium from title policies that the Company places with subsidiaries of FNF.
The Company also performs similar functions in connection with trustee sale guarantees, a
form of title insurance that subsidiaries of FNF issue as part of the foreclosure process on
a defaulted loan. |

The Company believes the amounts earned from or charged by FNF to the Company under each of
the foregoing service arrangements are fair and reasonable. Although the approximate 88%
aggregate commission rate on title insurance policies was set without negotiation, the Company believes it is
consistent with the blended rate that would be available to a third party title agent given the
amount and the geographic distribution of the business produced and the low risk of loss profile of
the business placed. In connection with title plant management, the Company charges FNF title
insurers for title information at approximately the same rates the Company and other similar
vendors charge unaffiliated title insurers. The Companys IT infrastructure support and data center
management services to FNF are priced within the range of prices the Company offers to third
parties. These transactions between the Company and FNF are subject
to constant review for performance and pricing.
The Company also provides data processing services to Sedgwick CMS, a company in which FNF has
held an approximately 40% equity interest since February 1, 2006. The Company recorded $8.3 million
in revenue relating to this arrangement with Sedgwick during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The Company received no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Other related party transactions:
Contribution of National New York
During the second quarter of 2006, FNF contributed the stock of National Title Insurance of
New York, Inc. (National New York), a title insurance company, to the Company. This transaction
was reflected as a contribution of capital from FNF in the amount of FNFs historical basis in
National New York of approximately $10.7 million.
Merger with FNF Capital
On October 26, 2006, the Company completed a merger with FNF Capital, Inc. (FNF Capital), a
leasing subsidiary of FNF. The Company issued 279,000 shares of the Companys common stock to FNF
in exchange for a majority ownership in FNF Capital. The transaction was recorded at FNFs
historical basis in FNF Capital of approximately $2.3 million and the Company purchased the
minority ownership shortly thereafter for $3.8 million in cash. Through the merger, the Company
assumed a note payable to FNF of $13.9 million, and the Company recorded $0.2 million of interest
expense related to this note during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
11
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Continued
The contribution of National New York and the merger with FNF Capital were completed between
entities under common control and their results of operations and account balances have been
included in the Companys results of operations and statement of financial position since the date
of the relevant transactions. Had the Company included
the results of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented in the Consolidated
Financial Statements, net earnings would have increased $0.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
Investment by FNF in Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions, Inc.
On December 31, 2006, FNF contributed $52.5 million to Fidelity National Real Estate
Solutions, Inc. (FNRES), a subsidiary of the Company, for approximately 61% of the outstanding
shares of FNRES. As a result, since December 31, 2006, the Company no longer consolidates FNRES,
but has recorded its remaining 39% interest as an equity investment in the amount of $32.7 million
and $33.5 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company recorded
$0.5 million in equity losses (net of tax), from its investment in FNRES, for the three months
ended March 31, 2007.
Master Services Agreement with Covansys
The Company also entered into a master service provider agreement with Covansys, an entity in
which the Company holds a 29% equity interest (see Note 6), which requires the Company to purchase
a minimum of $150 million in services over a five year period expiring June 30, 2009 or be subject
to certain penalties if defined spending thresholds are not met. The Company does not believe any
future penalties will be incurred under the agreement. For the three month periods ended March 31,
2007 and March 31, 2006 the Company spent $10.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively, purchasing
services from Covansys and its subsidiaries.
Transactions with Banco Bradesco S.A. and ABN AMRO Real
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the Company recorded
revenues of $13.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from ABN AMRO Real and $8.6 million and
$1.3 million, respectively, from Banco Bradesco, which are venture partners in the Companys
Brazilian card business.

1, 2006 through March 31, 2006. If these shares and options had been outstanding for the entire
three month period, basic weighted average shares outstanding would have been approximately 191.8
million, common stock equivalents would have been 3.3 million and weighted average shares on a
diluted basis would have been 195.1 million.

FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Continued
Options to purchase approximately 4.8 million shares and 1.9 million shares of the Companys
common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.
(5) Acquisitions
The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during the three
month period ended March 31, 2007 and during 2006 are included in the Consolidated Financial
Statements from and after the date of acquisition. The purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with any excess cost over fair value being allocated to
goodwill. Third party valuations are obtained for significant
acquisitions.
Certegy
On September 14, 2005, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Certegy
under which the Company and Certegy combined operations to form a single publicly traded company
called Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS). Certegy was a payment processing
company headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. On January 26, 2006, Certegys shareholders
approved the Certegy Merger, which was subsequently consummated on February 1, 2006.
Under the terms of the Certegy Merger agreement, the Company was merged into a wholly owned
subsidiary of Certegy in a tax-free merger, and all of the Companys outstanding stock was
converted into Certegy common stock. As a result of the Certegy Merger:
|
|
|
The Companys pre-merger shareholders owned approximately 67.4% of the Companys
outstanding common stock immediately after the Certegy Merger, while Certegys pre-merger
shareholders owned approximately 32.6%; |
|
|
|
|
Immediately after the Certegy Merger, FNF and its subsidiaries owned approximately 51.0%
of the Companys outstanding common stock; and |
|
|
|
|
The Companys board of directors was reconstituted so that a majority of the board
consisted of directors designated by the Companys shareholders. |
In connection with the Certegy Merger, Certegy amended its articles of incorporation to
increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 400 million shares to 800 million
shares, with 600 million shares being designated as common stock and 200 million shares being
designated as preferred stock. Additionally, Certegy amended its stock incentive plan to increase
the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the current stock incentive
plan by an additional 6 million shares, and to increase the limits on the number of options,
restricted shares, and other awards that may be granted to any individual in any calendar year.
These changes were approved by Certegys shareholders on January 26, 2006.
As part of the Certegy Merger transaction, Certegy declared a $3.75 per share special cash
dividend that was paid to Certegys pre-merger shareholders. This dividend, totaling $236.6
million, was paid by Certegy at the consummation of the Certegy Merger.
Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. require that one of the two companies in
the transaction be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The Company has been
designated as the accounting acquirer because immediately after the Certegy Merger its shareholders
held more than 50% of the common stock of the Company. As a result, the Certegy Merger has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Under this
accounting treatment, the Company is considered the acquiring entity and Certegy is considered the
acquired entity for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements of the combined company
after the Certegy Merger reflect the Companys financial results on a historical basis and include
the results of operations of Certegy from February 1, 2006.

The purchase price was based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock of Certegy on
February 1, 2006, the date of consummation of the Certegy Merger, valued at $33.38 per share (which
was the average of the trading price of Certegy common stock two days before and two days after the
announcement of the Certegy Merger on September 15, 2005 of $37.13, less the $3.75 per share
special dividend declared prior to closing). The purchase price also included the estimated fair
value of Certegys stock options and restricted stock units outstanding at the transaction date.

In connection with the Certegy Merger, the Company announced that it will terminate and settle
the Certegy U.S. Retirement Income Plan (pension plan). The estimated impact of this settlement was
reflected in the purchase price allocation as an increase in the pension liability, less the fair
value of the pension plan assets, based on estimates of the total cost to settle the liability
through the purchase of annuity contracts or lump sum settlements to the beneficiaries. The final
settlement will not occur until after an IRS determination has been obtained, which is

expected to
be received in 2007. In addition to the pension plan obligation, the Company assumed liabilities
for Certegys Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the SERP) and Postretirement Benefit Plan.
The total liability recorded as part of the purchase price allocation related to all three plans,
net of the fair value of plan related assets, was $31.1 million.
The Company has evaluated the various lease agreements, vendor arrangements, and customer
contracts of Certegy. This evaluation has resulted in the recognition of certain liabilities
associated with exiting activities of the acquired company.
Also, the Certegy Merger triggered the performance criteria relating to our performance stock
option grant made in March 2005 and these awards vested when the trading value of the Companys
stock remained above $31.27 for 45 consecutive trading days following the Certegy Merger. As a
result, the Company recorded a charge of $24.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 and recorded an
additional $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 relating to these options that became fully
vested on April 7, 2006.

(6) Investment in Covansys Corporation
On September 15, 2004, FNF acquired 11 million shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 4 million additional shares of Covansys Corporation (Covansys), a publicly traded U.S.
based provider of application management and offshore outsourcing services with India based
operations for $121.0 million in cash. FNF subsequently contributed the common stock and warrants
to the Company which resulted in the Company owning approximately 29% of the common stock of
Covansys. The Company accounts for the investment in common stock using the equity method of
accounting and, until March 24, 2005, accounted for the warrants under SFAS No. 133. Under SFAS No.
133, the warrants were considered derivative instruments and were recorded at a fair value of
approximately $23.5 million on the date of acquisition. On March 25, 2005, the terms of the
warrants were amended to add a mandatory holding period subsequent to exercise of the warrants and
eliminate a cashless exercise option available to the Company. Following these amendments, the
accounting for the warrants is now governed by the provisions of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and changes in the
15
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Continued
fair value of the warrants are recorded through equity in other comprehensive earnings. For
the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $1.4 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, in equity earnings (net of tax) from its investment in Covansys.
On April 25, 2007, the board of directors of Covansys entered into an agreement with Computer
Sciences Corporation (CSC) under which CSC will acquire Covansys for $34.00 per share in an
all-cash transaction. Based on the stated per share price, the Company will receive gross proceeds
of approximately $433.0 million. The merger is subject to approval by the shareholders of
Covansys.

On January 18, 2007, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and Line of Credit Issuer, Bank of America, N.A.,
as Swing Line Lender, and other financial institutions party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The
Credit Agreement replaced the Bank of America Term Loan and Revolver as well as the $100 million
Settlement Facility. As a result of the new credit agreement, the Company repaid the old credit
agreement and recorded a charge of $27.2 million to write-off unamortized capitalized debt issuance
costs. The Credit Agreement, which is unsecured, provides for a committed $2.1 billion five-year
term facility denominated in U.S. Dollars (the Term Loan) and a committed $900 million revolving
credit facility (the Revolving Loan) with a sublimit of $250 million for letters of credit and a
sublimit of $250 million for swing line loans, maturing on the fifth anniversary of the closing
date (the Maturity Date). The Revolving Loan is bifurcated into a $735 million multicurrency
revolving credit loan (the Multicurrency Tranche) that can be denominated in any combination of
U.S. Dollars, Euro, British Pounds Sterling and Australian Dollars, and any other foreign currency
in which the relevant lenders agree to make advances and a $165 million U.S. Dollar revolving
credit loan that can be denominated only in U.S. Dollars. The swingline loans and letters of credit
are available as a sublimit under the Multicurrency Tranche. In addition, the Credit Agreement
provides for an uncommitted incremental loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $600
million, which will be made available only upon receipt of further commitments from lenders under
the Credit Agreement sufficient to fund the amount requested by the Company.
16
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Continued
The Term Loan was fully drawn on the closing date and a total of $600.3 million was
outstanding under the Revolving Loan as of March 31, 2007. The obligations under the Credit
Agreement have been jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of the
domestic subsidiaries of the Company.
The Company may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolving Loan from time to time
until the maturity of the Revolving Loan. The Company must make quarterly principal payments under
the Term Loan in scheduled installments of: (a) $13.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2007
through December 31, 2008; (b) $26.3 million per quarter from March 31, 2009 through December 31,
2009; and (c) $52.5 million per quarter from March 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011, with the
remaining balance of approximately $1.5 billion payable on the Maturity Date.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, the Term Loan is (with certain exceptions)
subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, casualty and condemnation events, and sales
of assets. Voluntary prepayments of the Loans are generally permitted at any time without fee upon
proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Commitment reductions of the Revolving
Loan are also permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice. The Revolving Loan has no
scheduled principal payments, but it will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
The outstanding balance of the Loans bears interest at a floating rate, which is at the
Companys option, either (a) the eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin and mandatory cost or
(b) a base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on
a leverage ratio (total indebtedness to EBITDA of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as
further defined in the Credit Agreement). Alternatively, the Company has the ability to request the
lenders to submit competitive bids for one or more advances under the Revolving Loan (the Bid Rate
Advances).
The Credit Agreement provides procedures for lenders to submit bids for Bid Rate Advances and
for the Company to accept or reject them. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and
financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on
the creation of liens, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, restrictions on investments and
dispositions, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage
ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Upon an event of default, the Administrative Agent can
accelerate the maturity of the loan. Events of default include conditions customary for such an
agreement, including failure to pay principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain
covenants. The Companys management believes that the Company was in compliance with all covenants
related to the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2007.
On April 11, 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which have
effectively fixed the interest rate at approximately 5.4% until April 11, 2008 on $350 million of
its term loan facilities (or its replacement debt) and at approximately 5.2% until April 11, 2007
on an additional $350 million of the Term Loan. The Company has designated these interest rate
swaps as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The estimated fair value of the cash
flow hedges results in an asset to the Company of $3.0 million and $4.9 million, as of March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which is included in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets in other noncurrent assets and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
earnings, net of deferred taxes. A portion of the amount included in accumulated other
comprehensive earnings is reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment as interest
payments are made on the term loan facilities.
On April 11, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively
fixed the interest rate at approximately 5.9% until April 11, 2010, on $850 million of the Term
Loan Facilities. The swap agreement replaces the $350 million swap agreement, discussed above, that
expired on April 11, 2007. The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges
in accordance with SFAS No. 133.
The Companys existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there is no current impact on
earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is the policy of the Company to execute such instruments
with credit-worthy banks and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative
purposes.

(8) Income Taxes
The 2007 calendar year is the first year the Company is required to adopt FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). Interest and penalties on accrued
but unpaid taxes are classified in the consolidated financial statements as income tax expense.
At the beginning of 2007, the Company had approximately $13.3 million of total gross
unrecognized tax benefits. Of this total, $3.5 million (net of the federal benefit on state
issues) would favorably affect the effective tax rate. The remaining amounts, if recognized, would
result in an adjustment to goodwill. The increase in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits
as a result of positions taken in the current quarter is $1.5 million.
The total amount of interest recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings is $0.2
million ($0.1 million after tax benefit). The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in
the consolidated balance sheet is $1.8 million at March 31, 2007. Interest and penalties on
accrued but unpaid taxes are classified in the financial statements as income taxes.
Due to the potential expiration of various statutes of limitation in the next twelve months,
an estimated $1.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized during that twelve month
period.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax
of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service (the IRS) over the recent years and all years prior to 2006 have been closed or the
statutes have expired. The company is currently under IRS audit for the 2006 and 2007 tax years.
Substantially all material foreign income tax return matters have been concluded through 1999.
Substantially all state income tax returns have been concluded through 2002.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending and threatened
litigation matters related to operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary
damages. The Company believes that no actions, other than the matters listed below, depart from
customary litigation incidental to the business. As background to the disclosure below, please note
the following:
|
|
|
These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to
many uncertainties and complexities. |
|
|
|
|
The Company reviews these matters on an on going basis and follows the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5),
when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and
probable outcomes, the Company bases decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome
following all appeals. |
The Company and certain of its employees were named as defendants in a civil lawsuit brought
by Grace & Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Grace). Grace was a sales agent engaged by
Alltel Information Services, Inc. in June of 2001. In March of 2002 Graces contract was terminated
because Grace was no longer providing sales agent services. In May of 2004 Grace asserted a claim
for unpaid sales commissions, and filed suit later that same year in Monterey County, California.
The case was subsequently re-filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Florida in March of 2006. In the lawsuit, Grace alleged damages resulting from breach of contract,
violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (the RICO) Act and violation of
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the FCPA). Graces FCPA and RICO allegations prompted
inquiries by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice. The
Company and its legal counsel investigated Graces RICO and FCPA allegations and concluded that no
violations had occurred. The Company vigorously defended the civil lawsuit, and in March of 2007
the court dismissed the RICO claims with prejudice and struck Graces FCPA allegations. The parties
subsequently settled the remaining breach of contract claim at court-
ordered mediation in April of 2007. The Company continues to fully cooperate with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice in response to their
inquiries.

(10) Stock Option Plans
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment effective as of January 1, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006,
the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003
under the prospective method as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. Under this method, stock-based
employee compensation cost was recognized from the beginning of 2003 as if the fair value method of
accounting had been used to account for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled in years
beginning after December 31, 2002. The Company has provided for stock compensation expense of $8.5
million and $28.0 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements
of Earnings. The period ended March 31, 2006 included stock compensation expense of $24.1 million,
relating to the FIS performance-based options granted on March 9, 2005 for which the performance
and market criteria for vesting were met during the quarter.
(11) Defined Benefit Plans
In connection with the Kordoba acquisition, the Company assumed Kordobas unfunded, defined
benefit plan obligations. These obligations relate to retirement benefits to be paid to Kordobas
employees upon retirement. Also, in connection with the Certegy acquisition, the Company assumed
additional defined benefit obligations related to retirement income (pension) and postretirement
healthcare and life insurance plans (see Note 5). The Company has initiated a termination and
settlement of the Certegy pension plan obligations and, in addition, the impact of the service and
interest costs related to the pension plan are insignificant for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006. During both the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company
recorded $0.8 million, in total benefit costs relating to these plans.

(13) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value
that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 mandates certain financial
statement presentation and disclosure requirements when a company elects to report assets and
liabilities at fair value under SFAS 159. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of January 1,
2008 for calendar year entities. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of
adopting SFAS 159 on the Companys statements of financial position and operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 1: Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The discussion below contains
forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Statements that are
not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking
statement. Forward-looking statements are based on managements beliefs, as well as assumptions
made by, and information currently available to, management. Because such statements are based on
expectations as to future economic performance and are not statements of fact, actual results may
differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The risks and
uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are not limited to:
changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial
markets; the effects of our substantial leverage, which may limit the funds available to make
acquisitions and invest in our business; the risks of reduction in revenue from the elimination of
existing and potential customers due to consolidation in the banking, retail and financial services
industries; failure to adapt our services to changes in technology or in the marketplace; adverse
changes in the level of real estate activity, which would adversely affect certain of our
businesses; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates or difficulties in
integrating acquisitions; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; and other
risks detailed in the Risk Factors and other sections of this Form 10-Q and in the Statement
Regarding Forward-Looking Information, Risk Factors and other sections of our most recent Form
10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are one of the largest global providers of processing services to financial institutions,
with market-leading positions in core processing, card issuing services, check risk management,
mortgage processing, and certain other lender processing services in the U.S., serving customers in
over 60 countries throughout the world. We offer a diversified product mix, and we believe that we
will continue to benefit from the opportunity to cross-sell products and services across our broad
customer base, and from our expanded international presence and scale. We have two reporting
segments, Transaction Processing Services and Lender Processing Services, which produced
approximately 61% and 39%, respectively, of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Transaction Processing Services. This segment focuses on serving the processing and risk
management needs of financial institutions and retailers. Our primary software applications
function as the underlying infrastructure of a financial institutions processing
environment. These applications include core bank processing software, which banks use to
maintain the primary records of their customer accounts. We also provide a number of
complementary applications and services that interact directly with the core processing
applications, including applications that facilitate interactions between our financial
institution customers and their clients. We offer our applications and services through a
range of delivery and service models, including on-site outsourcing and remote processing
arrangements, as well as on a licensed software basis for installation on customer-owned and
operated systems. This segment also includes card issuer services, which enable banks,
credit unions, and others to issue VISA and MasterCard credit and debit cards, private label
cards, and other electronic payment cards for use by both consumer and business accounts. In
addition we provide check guarantee and verification services to retailers. |
21
|
|
|
Lender Processing Services. This segment offers core mortgage processing software, which
banks use to process and service mortgage loans, as well as customized outsourced business
processes and information solutions primarily to national lenders and loan servicers. These
processes include centralized, customized title agency and closing services offered to first
mortgage, refinance, home equity and sub-prime lenders. In addition, this segment provides
default management services to national lenders and loan servicers, allowing customers to
outsource the business processes necessary to take a loan and the underlying real estate
securing the loan through the default and foreclosure process. This segments information
solutions include property data and real estate-related services. Included in these services
are appraisal and valuation services, property records information, real estate tax
services, and borrower credit and flood zone information. |
The
Corporate and Other segment consists of the corporate overhead costs
and other operations that are not included in the other segments.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies since our Form 10-K was
filed on March 1, 2007.
Transactions with Related Parties
We have historically conducted business with FNF and its subsidiaries, and other related
parties. Please see Note 3 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed
description of all the related party transactions.
Factors Affecting Comparability
Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report that present our financial
condition and operating results reflect the following significant transaction:
|
|
|
On February 1, 2006, we merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Certegy Inc. The
transaction resulted in a reverse acquisition with a total purchase price of approximately
$2.2 billion. Certegy provided credit card, debit card, and other transaction processing and
check risk management services to financial institutions and merchants in the U.S. and
internationally through two segments, Card Services and Check Services. |
Although the legal entity that survived the merger was Certegy (which has since been renamed
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.), for accounting purposes our historical financial
statements are those of Former FIS. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of
operations of Certegy, effective as of the date of the acquisition. As a result of the transaction,
the results of operations in the periods covered by the Consolidated Financial Statements may not
be directly comparable.

Processing and Services Revenues
Processing and services revenues totaled $1,124.1 million and $900.9 million in the three
month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in revenue of $223.1
million is due to the inclusion of three months of activity from Certegy in 2007 as compared to two
months in 2006, as well as growth across both segments of the company. Certegy was acquired on
February 1, 2006 and thus is only included in our 2006 results from the acquisition date forward.
The impact of the Certegy Merger contributed approximately $96.4 million to the overall increase in
revenues. The net impact of other smaller acquisitions and the deconsolidation of FNRES was
insignificant, thus the remaining increase is primarily attributable to growth across both
segments. The growth in Transaction Processing Services was driven by strong new sales across the
entire segment, particularly in our international operations, while the growth in Lender Processing
Services was driven primarily by increased demand and market share gains in our default and
appraisal services.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues totaled $813.3 million and $622.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Consistent with the change in revenues, the increase in cost of
revenues of $191.0 million was driven by the Certegy acquisition and growth across both segments.
The impact of including a full quarter of Certegy cost of revenues versus only two months in 2006
added approximately $76.0 million to the overall increase, while the remaining increase is
attributable to new activities and growth.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 27.6% and 30.9% for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the
Lender Processing Services segment, and more specifically relates to growth in lower
margin product lines, in particular appraisal
services, along with declining margins in our tax and property exchange services due to the
general slowing of the real estate market.
23
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $119.5 million and $145.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease of $26.2 million primarily
relates to the decrease in stock based compensation expense, which decreased from $28.0 million in
2006 to $8.5 million in 2007. This decrease in stock-based compensation is primarily attributable
to the $24.1 million in expense recorded in the prior year period for the vesting of the FIS
performance-based options granted in March 2005 for which the performance criteria was met during
the first quarter of 2006.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs totaled $27.1 million and $28.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Operating Income
Operating income totaled $164.2 million and $104.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 14.6% and 11.6%
respectively, reflecting the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially
offset by the lower gross profit in the Lender Processing Services segment as noted above.
Interest expense
Interest expense totaled $72.1 million and $43.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase of $28.8 million is primarily due to the inclusion of a
$27.2 million charge during the three month period ended March 31, 2007, to record the write-off of
capitalized debt issuance costs relating to our prior credit facility.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $34.7 million and $23.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This resulted in a effective tax rate of 37.2% and 38.3%,
respectively.
Net Earnings
Net earnings totaled $59.5 million and $39.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006, respectively, or $.30 and $.23 per diluted share, respectively.

Revenues for the Transaction Processing Services segment are derived from three main revenue
channels: Enterprise Solutions, Integrated Financial Solutions and International. Revenues from
Transaction Processing Services totaled $680.5 million and $501.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The overall segment increase of $179.0 million, or
35.7%, for the period was partially attributable to the one month of incremental revenues from the
February 1, 2006 Certegy Merger, which contributed approximately $96.4 million to the increase.
The remaining increase is attributable to strong revenue growth in the International channel,
including $17.4 million related to the newly formed business process outsourcing operation in
Brazil, as well as expansion in the other two revenue channels.
Cost of revenues for the Transaction Processing Services segment totaled $530.1 million and
$387.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Of the overall
segment increase of $142.3 million, the incremental month of Certegy cost of revenues from the
February 1, 2006 merger contributed approximately $76.0 million. Gross profit as a percentage of
revenues was 22.1% and 22.7%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to one
month of incremental intangible asset amortization relating to the Certegy Merger.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Transaction Processing Services segment
totaled $43.0 million and $39.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The increase in the 2007 period is primarily attributable to the additional month of
Certegy results as well as incremental costs associated with the Brazilian business process
outsourcing operation, partially offset by the impact of cost cutting initiatives implemented in
the second half of 2006.
Research and development costs totaled $17.5 million and $19.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Operating income totaled $89.9 and $55.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Operating margin was approximately 13.2% and 10.9%, reflecting the impact of
relatively stable selling, general and administrative expenses and an expanding revenue base.

Revenues for the Lender Processing Services segment totaled $440.4 million and $400.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The overall segment increase of
$39.9 million for the period was primarily the result of increased demand for our appraisal
services, growth in our default management businesses, and an increase in revenues earned from FNF.
These were partially offset by reductions in some of our businesses that are more prone to
weakness in the overall real estate market, including our tax and property exchange services.
Cost of revenues for the Lender Processing Services segment totaled $283.3 million and $234.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross profit was 35.7%
and 41.4% respectively. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to growth in lower margin
product lines, in particular our appraisal services, along with
declining margins in tax and property exchange services
due to the general slowing of the real estate market.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Lender Processing Services segment
totaled $47.0 million and $59.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The decrease is primarily the result of cost control measures. Also, selling,
general and administrative costs decreased approximately $6.4 million
25
due to the exclusion of costs from Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions, Inc. (FNRES).
FNRES became an equity investment on December 31, 2006 and, therefore, its expenses are no longer
included in our consolidated results on a line-item basis.
Research and development costs for the Lender Processing Services segment totaled $9.6 million
and $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Operating income for the Lender Processing Services segment totaled $100.6 million and $97.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating margin was
22.8% and 24.4%, respectively.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment consists of the corporate overhead costs and additional small
operations that are not included in the other segments. Corporate costs are primarily incurred
directly by us, however, prior year includes some amounts that were allocated from FNF prior to the
merger with Old FNF, including stock based compensation. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $29.5 million and $47.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The decrease in the current period of $17.7 million primarily relates to a decrease
in stock based compensation expense which decreased from $28.0 million in 2006 to $8.5 million in
2007. This decrease is primarily attributable to the $24.1 million in expense recorded for the
vesting of the FIS performance-based options granted in March 2005 for which the performance
criteria was met during the first quarter of 2006.
Pro forma Segment Information
Summarized pro forma financial information concerning our reportable segments is shown in the

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements include cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses,
income taxes, debt service payments, capital expenditures, systems development expenditures and
business acquisitions. Our principal sources of funds are cash generated by operations and
borrowings.
At March 31, 2007, we have cash on hand of $222.0 million and long-term debt of approximately
$3.0 billion, including the current portion. We expect cash flows from operations over the next
twelve months will be sufficient to fund our operating cash requirements and pay principal and
interest on our outstanding debt absent any unusual circumstances such as acquisitions or adverse
changes in the business environment.
We currently pay quarterly dividends to our shareholders of $0.05 per share and expect to
continue to do so in the future, although the payment of any future dividends is at the discretion
of our Board of Directors and subject to any limits in our debt or other agreements.
We intend to limit dilution caused by option exercises, including anticipated exercises, by
repurchasing shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During 2006, we
repurchased 4,261,200 shares at an average price of $37.60 under this program. On October 25, 2006,
our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing repurchases of up to an additional $200 million
worth of our common stock.
Capital Expenditures
Our principal capital expenditures are for computer software (purchased and internally
developed) and additions to property and equipment. In 2006, we spent approximately $300.2 million
on capital expenditures. During the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we spent $74.1
million. We expect to spend approximately $300.0 million by the end of the year, primarily on
equipment, purchased software and internally developed software.
Financing
On January 18, 2007, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and Line of Credit Issuer, Bank of America, N.A., as Swing
Line Lender, and other financial institutions thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit
Agreement replaces the Bank of America Term Loan and Revolver as well as the $100 million Wachovia
Settlement Facility. As a result of the new credit agreement, the Company repaid the old credit
agreement and recorded a charge of $27.2 million to write-off capitalized debt issuance costs. The
Credit Agreement, which is unsecured, provides for a committed $2.1 billion five-year term facility
denominated in U.S. Dollars (the Term Loan) and a committed $900 million revolving credit
facility (the Revolving Loan) with a sublimit of $250 million for letters of credit and a
sublimit of $250 million for swing line loans, maturing on the fifth anniversary of the closing
date (the Maturity Date). The Revolving Loan is bifurcated into a $735 million multicurrency
revolving credit loan (the Multicurrency Tranche) that can be denominated in any combination of
U.S. Dollars, Euro, British Pounds Sterling and Australian Dollars, and any other foreign currency
in which the relevant lenders agree to make advances, and a $165 million U.S. Dollar revolving
credit loan that can be denominated only in U.S. Dollars. The swingline loans and letters of credit
are available as a sublimit under the Multicurrency Tranche. In addition, the Credit Agreement
provides for an uncommitted incremental loan facility in the uncommitted maximum principal amount
of $600 million, which will be made available only upon receipt of further commitments from lenders
under the Credit Agreement sufficient to fund the amount requested by FIS.
The Term Loan was fully drawn on the closing date and a total of $600.3 million was
outstanding under the Revolving Loan as of March 31, 2007. The obligations under the Credit
Agreement have been jointly and severally unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of the
domestic subsidiaries of our company.
27
We may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolving Loan from time to time until
the maturity of the Revolving Loan. We must make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan
in scheduled installments of:
(a) $13.1 million per quarter from March 31, 2007 through December 31, 2008; (b) $26.3 million
per quarter from March 31, 2009 through December 31, 2009; and (c) $52.5 million per quarter from
March 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011, with the remaining balance of approximately $1.5 billion
payable on the Maturity Date.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, the Term Loan is (with certain exceptions)
subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, casualty and condemnation events, and sales
of assets. Voluntary prepayments of the Loans are generally permitted at any time without fee upon
proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Commitment reductions of the Revolving
Loan are also permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice. The Revolving Loan has no
scheduled principal payments, but it will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
The outstanding balance of the Loans bears interest at a floating rate, which is at our
option, either (a) the eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin and mandatory cost or (b) a base
rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on a leverage
ratio (total indebtedness to EBITDA, as further defined in the Credit Agreement). Alternatively, we
have the ability to request the lenders to submit competitive bids for one or more advances under
the Revolving Loan (the Bid Rate Advances).
The Credit Agreement provides procedures for lenders to submit bids for Bid Rate Advances and
for us to accept or reject them. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial
covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the
creation of liens, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, restrictions on investments and
dispositions, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage
ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Upon an event of default, the Administrative Agent can
accelerate the maturity of the loan. Events of default include conditions customary for such an
agreement, including failure to pay principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain
covenants.
In connection with the new Credit Agreement, we terminated the Bank of America Term Loan and
Revolver on January 18, 2007 and repaid it in full before its final scheduled expiration date of
March 9, 2013. The final payment was approximately $2.64 billion, including principal, interest and
fees. We incurred no early termination penalties in terminating the Bank of America credit
agreement.
We also had a $100 million unsecured revolving credit facility that we used to finance our
customers shortfalls in the daily funding requirements associated with our credit and debit card
settlement operations (the Settlement Facility). Amounts borrowed were typically repaid within
one to two business days, as customers funded the shortfalls. This facility had a term of 364 days
and was renewed annually. There were no amounts outstanding under this facility at December 31,
2006. The Settlement Facility was terminated on January 18, 2007.
Contractual Obligations
Our long-term contractual obligations generally include our long-term debt and operating lease
payments on certain of our property and equipment. Our long-term contractual obligations have not
changed materially since the 10-K was filed on March 1, 2007.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
FIS does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements other than the Wisconsin lease
discussed below.
We have a synthetic lease arrangement (the Wisconsin Lease) which is not included in our
consolidated balance sheets with respect to our facilities in Madison, Wisconsin (the Wisconsin
Leased Property). In connection with the Certegy Merger, the term of the Wisconsin Lease was
amended so that it was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006. The term of the Wisconsin Lease
has since been further amended so that it now expires on June 30, 2007. The original cost to the
lessor of the Wisconsin Leased Property when Certegy entered into the Wisconsin Lease was
approximately $10.1 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option
to acquire the Wisconsin Leased Property at its original cost, or to direct the sale of the
Wisconsin Leased Property to a third party.
28
Escrow Arrangements
In conducting its operations, the Company routinely holds customers assets in escrow, pending
completion of real estate transactions. Certain of these amounts are
maintained in trust in segregated bank
accounts and have not been included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company
has a contingent liability relating to proper disposition of these balances, which amounted to
$2.2 billion at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. As a result
of holding these customers assets in escrow, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing
economic benefits during the year through favorable borrowing and vendor arrangements with various
banks. There were no investments or loans outstanding as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006
related to these arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value
that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 mandates certain financial
statement presentation and disclosure requirements when a company elects to report assets and
liabilities at fair value under SFAS 159. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of January 1,
2008 for calendar year entities. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of
adopting SFAS 159 on our statements of financial position and operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
As of March 31, 2007, we are paying interest on the new Credit Agreement at LIBOR plus 1.00%,
or 6.33%. A one percent increase in the LIBOR rate would increase our annual debt service on the
Credit Agreement by $15.1 million (based on principal amounts outstanding at March 31, 2007, net of
interest rate swaps as of April 11, 2007). The credit rating assigned to FIS by Standard & Poors
is currently BB+ with a positive outlook.
On April 11, 2005, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, which effectively fixed the
interest rate at approximately 5.4% through April 2008 on $350 million of the Term Loan Facilities
(or its replacement debt) and at approximately 5.2% through April 2007 on an additional $350
million of the term loan. We designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in accordance
with SFAS No. 133. The estimated fair value of the cash flow hedges results in an asset of $3.0
million and $4.9 million, as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which is
included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in other noncurrent assets and as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings, net of deferred taxes. A portion of the
amount included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings is reclassified into interest expense
as a yield adjustment as interest payments are made on the Term Loan Facilities.
On April 11, 2007, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, which effectively fixed the
interest rate at approximately 5.9% through April 2010 on $850 million of the Term Loan Facilities.
The swap agreement replaces the $350 million swap agreement, discussed above, that expired on April
11, 2007. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS
No. 133.
Our existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there is no current impact on earnings
due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our policy to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks
and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance of timely alerts
to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.
29
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened
litigation matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or
exemplary damages. We believe that no actions, other than the matters listed below, depart from
customary litigation incidental to our business. As background to the disclosure below, please note
the following:
|
|
|
These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to
many uncertainties and complexities. |
|
|
|
|
We review these matters on an on going basis and follow the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, (SFAS 5) when making
accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes,
we base our decision on our assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals. |
We and certain of our employees were named as defendants in a civil lawsuit brought by Grace &
Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Grace). Grace was a sales agent engaged by Alltel
Information Services, Inc. in June of 2001. In March of 2002 Graces contract was terminated
because Grace was no longer providing sales agent services. In May of 2004 Grace asserted a claim
for unpaid sales commissions, and filed suit later that same year in Monterey County, California.
The case was subsequently re-filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Florida in March of 2006. In the lawsuit, Grace alleged damages resulting from breach of contract,
violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (the RICO) Act and violation of
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the FCPA). Graces FCPA and RICO allegations prompted
inquiries by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice. We and
our legal counsel investigated Graces RICO and FCPA allegations and concluded that no violations
had occurred. We vigorously defended the civil lawsuit, and in March of 2007 the court dismissed
the RICO claims with prejudice and struck Graces FCPA allegations. We subsequently settled the
remaining breach of contract claim at court-ordered mediation in April of 2007. We continue to
fully cooperate with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice in
response to their inquiries.
