Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of First Data Corporation (“FDC” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2012 and the consolidated results of its operations, comprehensive income (loss), consolidated cash flows and changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year due in part to the seasonality of certain business units.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Presentation

Depreciation and amortization presented as a separate line item on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations does not include amortization of initial payments for new contracts which is recorded as a contra-revenue within “Transaction and processing service fees.” Also not included is amortization related to equity method investments which is netted within the “Equity earnings in affiliates” line.

	Three months ended March 31,
(in millions)	2012		2011
Amortization of initial payments for new contracts	$	9.8	$	9.6
Amortization related to equity method investments	$	30.5	$	15.7

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from its processing services as such services are performed. Revenue is recorded net of certain costs such as credit and offline debit interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations. Debit network fees related to acquired personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) transactions are recognized in the “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenue and expense lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents the amounts associated with processing services revenue:

	Three months ended March 31,

Note 4: Borrowings

Short-Term Borrowings

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, FDC had approximately $308 million and $341 million available, respectively, under short-term lines of credit and other arrangements with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund settlement activity. These arrangements are primarily associated with international operations and are in various functional currencies, the most significant of which are the Australian dollar, the Polish zloty and the euro. The total amounts outstanding against short-term lines of credit and other arrangements were $51.8 million and $76.4 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Certain of these arrangements are uncommitted but FDC had $49.2 million and $74.0 million of borrowings outstanding against them as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2012, FDC’s senior secured revolving credit facility had commitments from financial institutions to provide $1,515.3 million of credit. Up to $500 million of the senior secured revolving credit facility is available for letters of credit, of which $46.7 million and $45.0 million were issued as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition to the outstanding letters of credit, FDC had $79.0 million outstanding against this facility as of March 31, 2012 and no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, $1,389.6 million remained available under this facility after considering the amount outstanding and the letters of credit issued under the facility.

Modifications and Amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On March 13, 2012, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things:

(i) convert approximately $3.2 billion of the existing term loans maturing in 2014 (the “2014 Term Loans”) under FDC’s senior secured term credit facilities into a new dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a new euro-denominated term loan tranche, which will each mature on March 24, 2017 (collectively, the “2017 Term Loans”);

(ii) permit FDC to provide a loan extension request upon such shorter notice period as may be agreed by the administrative agent;

(iii) permit the deduction of fees and expenses related to any loan extensions from the net cash proceeds of any substantially concurrent debt offering related thereto that are being used to repay term loans under its senior secured credit facilities;

(iv) increase the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) by the amount of outstanding 2014 Term Loans, provided such increased amount may only be used for the incurrence of indebtedness the net cash proceeds of which are substantially concurrently used to prepay 2014 Term Loans;

(v) increase the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount by the amount of any permanent reduction and/or termination of the revolving credit commitments after the effectiveness date of the Amendment Agreement;

(vi) permit voluntary prepayments of term loans to be directed to a class of Extended Term Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) without requiring a prepayment of existing term loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted; and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(vii) provide for an increase in the interest applicable to the 2017 Term Loans to a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (i) LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency plus 500 basis points or (ii) with regard to dollar-denominated borrowings, a base rate plus 400 basis points.

The amendment became effective on March 23, 2012 when FDC issued $845 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.375% senior secured notes due June 15, 2019 (refer to the “7.375% Senior Secured Notes” section below) and, using the net proceeds therefrom, effected a prepayment of the outstanding 2017 Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement of approximately $807 million.

In connection with the debt modification and amendments and the debt offering discussed above, the Company incurred costs of $31.6 million, $27.0 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the loans.

2010 Debt Financing Costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, FDC paid $18.6 million in fees that were recorded in 2010 related to the December 2010 debt exchange as discussed in Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

7.375% Senior Secured First Lien Notes

On March 23, 2012, FDC issued and sold $845 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.375% senior secured notes due 2019 in connection with the March 2012 amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facilities discussed above. The additional notes were issued at a discount of 99.5% of the par amount totaling $4.2 million. The additional notes are treated as a single series with and have the same terms as the previously existing 7.375% notes. The additional notes and the previously existing 7.375% notes vote as one class under the related indenture.

10.55% Senior Unsecured Notes

FDC’s 10.55% senior notes due September 24, 2015 are publicly tradable and require the payment of interest semi-annually on March 31 and September 30. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the principal amount of FDC’s 10.55% senior secured notes increased by $35.6 million resulting from the “payment” of accrued interest expense. Beginning October 1, 2011, the interest on FDC’s senior unsecured notes is required to be paid in cash.

Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. Accruals have been made with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company. The matters discussed below, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, may result in liability material to the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations.

Legal

On July 2, 2004, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, its subsidiary Concord EFS, Inc., and various financial institutions. Plaintiffs claim that the defendants violated antitrust laws by conspiring to artificially inflate foreign ATM fees that were ultimately charged to ATM cardholders. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and such other relief as the nature of the case may require or as may seem just and proper to the court. Five similar suits were filed and served in July, August and October 2004 (referred to collectively as the “ATM Fee Antitrust Litigation”). The Court granted judgment in favor of the defendants, dismissing the case on September 17, 2010. On October 14, 2010, the plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment. The Company continues to believe the complaints are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them.

There are asserted claims against the Company where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be reasonably possible. These claims can generally be categorized in the following three areas: (1) patent infringement which results from claims that the Company is using technology that has been patented by another party; (2) Merchant customer matters often associated with alleged processing errors or disclosure issues and claims that one of the subsidiaries of the Company has violated a federal or state requirement regarding credit reporting or collection in connection with its check verification guarantee, and collection activities; and (3) other matters which may include issues such as employment. The Company’s estimates of the possible ranges of losses in excess of any amounts accrued are $0 to $1 million for patent infringement, $0 to $31 million for merchant customer matters and $0 to $7 million for other matters, resulting in a total estimated range of possible losses of $0 to $39 million for all of the matters described above.

The estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. As additional information becomes available and the resolution of the uncertainties becomes more apparent, it is possible that actual losses may exceed even the high end of the estimated range.

Other

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including indemnification obligations to purchasers of former subsidiaries. Management of the Company believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Note 8: Employee Benefit Plans

The Company estimates pension plan contributions for 2012 to be approximately $32 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, approximately $7 million was contributed to the United Kingdom plan and no contributions were made to the U.S. plan.

Note 9: Stock Compensation Plans

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards and units that were granted prior to plan modifications made in May 2010. Due to the nature of call rights associated with options and restricted stock awards and units granted subsequent to plan modifications in 2010, the Company will recognize expense related to such awards only upon certain liquidity or employment termination events.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the “Selling, general and administrative” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

Note 10: Investment Securities

The majority of the Company’s investment securities are a component of settlement assets and represent the investment of funds received by the Company from prior sales of payment instruments (official checks and financial institution money orders) by authorized agents. The Company’s investment securities, excluding those classified as cash equivalents, within current settlement assets primarily consisted of municipal obligations as of March 31, 2012 and municipal obligations and corporate bonds as of December 31, 2011. The Company’s long-term settlement assets were primarily comprised of student loan auction rate securities (“SLARS”) as of March 31, 2012 and SLARS and U.S. Government guaranteed securities as of December 31, 2011. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) on investments classified as settlement assets are recorded in the “Product sales and other” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company carried other investments, primarily cost method investments, which are included in the “Other current assets” and “Other long-term assets” line items of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are discussed further below. Realized gains and losses on these investments are recorded in the “Other income (expense)” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations described in Note 2 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company also maintained investments in non-marketable securities, held for strategic purposes (collectively referred to as “cost method investments”) which are carried at cost and included in “Other long-term assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are evaluated for impairment upon an indicator of impairment such as an event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. As of March 31, 2012, there were no indicators of impairment. Where there are no indicators of impairment present, the Company estimates the fair value for the cost method investments only if it is practicable to do so. As of March 31, 2012, it was deemed impracticable to estimate the fair value on $18.3 million of cost method assets due to the lack of sufficient data upon which to develop a valuation model and the costs of obtaining an independent valuation in relation to the size of the investments.

Note 11: Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objectives and Strategies

The Company is exposed to various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, that exist as part of its ongoing business operations. The Company utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to enhance its ability to manage these risks.

The Company uses derivative instruments (i) to mitigate cash flow risks with respect to changes in interest rates (forecasted interest payments on variable rate debt), (ii) to maintain a desired ratio of fixed rate and floating rate debt, and (iii) to protect the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries and/or affiliates with respect to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company applies strict policies to manage each of these risks, including prohibition against derivatives trading, derivatives market-making or any other speculative activities. Although most of the Company’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting, they are maintained for economic hedge purposes and are not considered speculative.

The Company’s policy is to manage its cash flow and net investment exposures related to adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s objective is to engage in risk management strategies that provide adequate downside protection.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company recognizes all derivatives in the “Other current assets”, “Other long-term assets”, “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values.

With respect to derivative instruments that are afforded hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of a net investment hedge that qualifies for hedge accounting are recorded as part of the cumulative translation adjustment in OCI to the extent the hedge is effective. Any ineffectiveness associated with designated cash flow hedges, as well as any change in the fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge, is recorded immediately in “Other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and the underlying hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges to forecasted transactions and net investment hedges to the underlying investment in a foreign subsidiary or affiliate. The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the

Table of Contents

FIRST DATA CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or foreign currency exposure of the underlying hedged items. The Company also performs an assessment of the probability of the forecasted transactions on a periodic basis. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective during the term of the hedge or if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively for such derivative.

Credit Risk

The Company monitors the financial stability of its derivative counterparties and all counterparties remain highly-rated (in the “A” category or higher). The credit risk inherent in these agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review at inception of the hedge, as circumstances warrant, and at least on a quarterly basis of the credit risk of these counterparties. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with individual counterparties. The Company’s exposures are in liquid currencies (primarily in U.S. dollars, euros and Australian dollars), so there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future.

Summary of Derivative Instruments

The Company’s derivative instruments portfolio was comprised of the following:

Notional value (in millions)	As of March 31, 2012		As of December 31, 2011
Interest rate contracts	USD	5,750	USD	5,750
Foreign exchange contracts	EUR	91.1	EUR	91.1
Foreign exchange contracts	AUD	115	AUD	115
Forward-starting interest rate contracts	USD	5,000	USD	3,000

Derivatives Not Qualifying For Hedge Accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held certain derivative instruments that functioned as economic hedges but no longer qualified or were not designated to qualify for hedge accounting. Such instruments included cross-currency swaps held in order to mitigate foreign currency exposure on intercompany loans, interest rate swaps held in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt and, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, a fixed to floating interest rate swap held to maintain a desired ratio of fixed and variable rate debt.

Interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion will expire in September 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $2.0 billion which, together with the forward-starting interest rate swaps held as of December 31, 2011, will become effective upon expiration of the existing instruments. The forward-starting interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate exposure to the same fluctuations in interest rates as the current interest rate swaps and will expire in September 2016. The Company did not designate the new swaps as hedges for accounting purposes.

During the first quarter of 2012, an interest rate swap with a total notional value of $500 million ceased to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and the Company therefore de-designated the cash flow hedge from the beginning of the quarter. For this and for previous cash flow hedge de-designations, the amount carried in OCI as of the date of de-designation is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the forecasted transactions affect earnings. The total amount of losses carried in OCI, $76.4 million as of March 31, 2012, are expected to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next 6 months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held cross-currency swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting with a total notional value of 91.1 million euro (approximately $121.3 million at March 31, 2012).

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company held a foreign exchange rate collar with a notional value of $1.9 million that expired on March 31, 2011.

While the derivatives noted above do not qualify for hedge accounting, they continue to be effective economically in eliminating the variability in interest rate payments on the corresponding portion of the Company’s variable rate debt and protecting a portion of the Company’s net investment in its European operations from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivatives That Qualify for Hedge Accounting.

Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held a cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 115.0 million Australian dollars (approximately $120.3 million at March 31, 2012) that was designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Cash flow hedges. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the interest payments on its debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company held interest rate swaps which were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the interest payments on $3.5 billion of the approximate $12.0 billion of variable rate senior secured term loans and the maximum length of time over which the Company had hedged its exposure as of March 31, 2011 was approximately 18 months. Since March 31, 2011, each of these designated cash flow hedges has ceased to be highly effective in offsetting the variability in the interest payments, due in part to their approaching maturity dates, and was de-designated. Until the de-designation date of each of these cash flow hedges, the Company followed the hypothetical derivative method to measure hedge ineffectiveness which resulted mostly from the hedges being off-market at the time of designation, and any ineffectiveness was recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12: Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts for certain of the Company’s financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings) approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Accordingly, these instruments are not presented in the following table. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the remaining financial instruments:

	As of March 31, 2012
(in millions)	Carrying Value		Fair Value (a)
Financial instruments:
Settlement assets:
Short-term investment securities	$	93.7	$	93.7
Long-term investment securities	$	170.7	$	170.7
Other current assets:
Derivative financial instruments	$	15.5	$	15.5
Other long-term assets:
Long-term investment securities	$	0.5	$	0.5
Cost method investments	$	23.6	$	23.6
Derivative financial instruments	$	67.8	$	67.8
Other current liabilities:
Derivative financial instruments	$	108.2	$	108.2
Long-term borrowings:
Long-term borrowings	$	22,544.2	$	21,899.0
Other long-term liabilities:
Derivative financial instruments	$	47.2	$	47.2

(a) Represents cost for cost method investments.

The estimated fair values of investment securities and derivative financial instruments are described below. Refer to Notes 10 and 11 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s investment securities and derivative financial instruments, respectively.

The estimated fair market value of FDC’s long-term borrowings was primarily based on market trading prices and is considered to be a level 2 measurement. For additional information regarding the Company’s borrowings, refer to Note 4 of these Consolidated Financial Statements as well as to Note 8 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s investment securities are diversified across multiple issuers within its investment portfolio (investment securities plus cash and cash equivalents). In addition to investment securities, the Company maintains other financial instruments with various financial institutions. The Company’s largest single issuer represents less than 12% of the total carrying value of the investment portfolio and the Company limits its derivative financial instruments credit risk by maintaining contracts with highly rated (in the “A” category or higher) counterparties. The Company periodically reviews the credit standings of these institutions.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial instruments carried and measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in the table below according to the fair value hierarchy:

Settlement assets - student loan auction rate securities. Due to the lack of observable market activity for the SLARS held by the Company as of March 31, 2012, the Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm upon which the Company in part relied, made certain assumptions, primarily relating to estimating both the weighted-average life for the securities held by the Company and the impact on the fair value of the current inability to redeem the securities at par value. All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management. The securities were valued using an income approach based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The Company considered each security’s key terms including date of issuance, date of maturity, auction intervals, scheduled auction dates, maximum auction rates, as well as underlying collateral, ratings, and guarantees or insurance. The impact of the Company’s judgment in the valuation was significant and, accordingly, the resulting fair value was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. A 50 basis point change in liquidity risk premium, as well as slight changes in other unobservable inputs including default probability and default recovery rate assumptions and the probability of an issuer call prior to maturity would impact the value of the SLARS by approximately $3 million. For additional information regarding sales, settlements and impairments of the SLARS, refer to Note 10 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Settlement assets - other available-for-sale securities. Prices for the municipal, corporate, and U.S. Government securities are not quoted on active exchanges but are priced through an independent third-party pricing service based on quotations from market-makers in the specific instruments or, where appropriate, from other market inputs. Bonds were valued under a market approach using observable inputs including reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other standard inputs. Municipal paper was valued under a market approach using observable inputs including maturity date, issue date, credit rating, current commercial paper rates and settlement date.

The Company’s experience with these types of investments and the expectations of the current investments held is that they will be satisfied at the current carrying amount. These securities were classified as Level 2.

Derivative financial instruments. The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain risks. The Company’s derivatives are not exchange listed and therefore the fair value is estimated under an income approach using Bloomberg analytics models that are based on readily observable market inputs. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest and foreign currency exchange rates, yield curves and the credit quality of the counterparties. The models also incorporate the Company’s creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk. Inputs to the derivative pricing models are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity and, accordingly, the Company’s derivatives were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. While the Company believes its estimates result in a reasonable reflection of the fair value of these instruments, the estimated values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the near future. Refer to Note 11 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not perform any non-recurring fair value measurements.

Note 13: Acquisition

In April 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 30 percent noncontrolling interest in a provider of card and electronic payment processing services to merchant acquiring banks, for approximately 37.1 million euro, of which 19.0 million euro ($25.2 million) was paid in April 2012 with the remainder to be paid in 2013.

Note 14: Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

As described in Note 8 of these Consolidated Financial Statements, FDC’s 9.875% senior notes, 12.625% senior notes, 10.55% senior notes and 11.25% senior subordinated notes are unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, domestic subsidiaries of FDC other than Integrated Payment Systems Inc. (“Guarantors”). None of the other subsidiaries of FDC, either direct or indirect, guarantee the notes (“Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the senior secured revolving credit facility, senior secured term loan facility, the 8.875% senior secured notes and the 7.375% senior secured notes, which rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured and second lien indebtedness of FDC’s guarantor subsidiaries. The Guarantors further unconditionally guarantee the 8.25% senior second lien notes and 8.75%/10.00% PIK toggle senior second lien notes which rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of FDC’s guarantor subsidiaries. The 9.875% senior note, 12.625% senior note, and 10.55% senior note and 11.25% senior subordinated note guarantees are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantor subsidiaries but senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of FDC’s guarantor subsidiaries. The 11.25% senior subordinated note guarantees are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness of the guarantor subsidiaries.

The following provides highlights of revenue and expense growth while a more detailed discussion is included in the “Segment Results” section below.

Operating revenues overview.

Transaction and processing service fees. Revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to growth in merchant transactions and dollar volumes both domestically and internationally, lower debit interchange rates as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and new business. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases due to lost business, price compression and changes in merchant and

pricing mix. Lower debit interchange rates positively impacted the transaction and processing service fees growth rate by approximately 2 percentage points.

Product sales and other. Revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 mainly resulting from increases in professional services and terminal leasing revenue. The increase in professional services revenue is partly due to new projects in Germany while the increase in terminal leasing revenue is due to increased lease originations and lease renewals. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in terminal sales due to a bulk terminal sale to a domestic customer in the first quarter of 2011 and foreign currency exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exchange rate movements negatively impacted the product sales and other growth rate by approximately 2 percentage points.

Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other. Revenue and expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to the cap on debit interchange rates imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act in October 2011 partially offset by growth of personal identification number (“PIN”)-debit transaction and dollar volumes. The cap on debit interchange rates imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act impacted the reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other growth rate by approximately 16 percentage points.

Operating expenses overview.

Cost of services. Expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to decreased operations and technology costs and lower net check warranty expense. Net check warranty expense decreased due to lower check volumes and better risk assessment data.

Cost of products sold. Expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due most significantly to lower terminal sales and lower cost terminal replacements internationally. Also contributing to the decrease was a bulk sale to a domestic customer in the first quarter of 2011 and foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Selling, general and administrative. Expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year due most significantly to growth in payments made to independent sales organizations (“ISO’s”). Growth in payments made to ISO’s increased due to the Company increasing the number of ISO’s and an increase in ISO transaction volumes which negatively impacted the selling, general and administrative growth rate by approximately 7 percentage points.

Depreciation and amortization. Expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due most significantly to a decrease in the amortization of certain intangible assets that are being amortized on an accelerated basis resulting in higher amortization in the prior period and certain other intangible assets that have become fully amortized. These decreases were partially offset by increases due to newly capitalized assets.

Other operating expenses, net. A summary of net pretax benefits (charges), incurred by segment, for each period is as follows:

The Company estimates cost savings resulting from restructuring activities recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 of approximately $3 million in 2012 and approximately $6 million on an annual basis.

The Company recorded restructuring charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011 in connection with management’s alignment of the business with strategic objectives.

The following table summarizes the Company’s utilization of restructuring accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

(in millions)	Employee Severance			Facility Closure
Remaining accrual as of January 1, 2012	$	16.7		$	0.9
Expense provision	4.3			—
Cash payments and other	(5.4		)	(0.3		)
Changes in estimates	(0.5		)	(0.1		)
Remaining accrual as of March 31, 2012	$	15.1		$	0.5

Interest expense. Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to higher average interest rates resulting primarily from the April 2011 debt modifications and amendments.

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge its interest payments on a portion of its variable rate debt from fluctuations in interest rates. While these swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting, they continue to be effective economically in eliminating variability in interest rate payments. Additionally, the Company utilizes a fixed to floating interest rate swap, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, to maintain a desired ratio of fixed rate and floating rate debt. The fair value adjustments for interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting as well as interest rate swap ineffectiveness are recorded in the “Other income (expense)” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and totaled charges of $0.6 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively..

Investment gains	$	0.3		$	—
Derivative financial instruments gains and (losses)	(3.7		)	(11.3		)
Non-operating foreign currency gains and (losses)	(4.8		)	(15.0		)
Other income (expense)	$	(8.2	)	$	(26.3	)

Derivative financial instruments gains and (losses). The net gains and losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were due most significantly to the fair value adjustments for cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps that are not designated as accounting hedges.

Non-operating foreign currency (losses) and gains. The net gains and losses related to currency translations on the Company’s intercompany loans and its euro-denominated debt.

Income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rates on pretax loss were tax benefits of 48.7% and 44.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from pass through entities for which there was no tax expense provided, certain prior period tax adjustments, state tax benefits and foreign income taxed at lower effective rates. These positive adjustments were partially offset by an increase in the Company’s valuation allowances against foreign tax credits and unrealized investment losses.

The effective tax rate benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was greater than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state tax benefits, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for which there was no tax expense provided, a net benefit relating to tax effects of foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany notes and a benefit relating to a tax law change in Greece,

partially offset by an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance against foreign tax credits and an adjustment to the calculation of certain deferred tax liabilities.

The balance of the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $285 million as of March 31, 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by approximately $51 million upon closure of the 2003 and 2004 federal tax years and the resolution of certain state audit issues. The liability for interest accrued on the unrecognized tax benefits of $25 million and the contra-liability for the federal benefit on state taxes of $4 million were reduced at the same time. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $131 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of its 2005 through 2007 federal tax years, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The potential decrease relates to various federal, state and foreign tax benefits including research and experimentation credits, transfer pricing adjustments and certain amortization and loss deductions.

In addition to the liability discussed above, the balance of the uncertain income tax liability for which The Western Union Company is required to indemnify the Company was approximately $5 million as of March 31, 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, this liability decreased by approximately $6 million upon closure of the 2003 and 2004 federal tax years and the resolution of certain state audit issues. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the uncertain income tax liability may decrease by approximately $5 million within the next twelve months as a result of the possible closure of the 2005 and 2006 federal tax years.

Equity earnings in affiliates. Equity earnings in affiliates decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Transaction and dollar volume growth, pricing increases and the positive impact of lower debit interchange rates as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act were offset by increased amortization associated with a referral payment to one of the Company’s merchant alliance partners in the fourth quarter of 2011. Amortization of the referral payment negatively impacted the equity earnings in affiliates growth rate by approximately 47 percentage points.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Most of the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests relates to the Company’s consolidated merchant alliances. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to the impact of lower debit interchange rates as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, transaction and dollar volume growth and pricing increases.

Segment results. For a detailed discussion of the Company’s principles regarding its segments, refer to “Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Processing fees and other revenue from alliance partners	51.8		30.3		71	%
Total transaction and processing service fees revenue	$	746.4	$	664.1	12	%

Acquiring revenue. Acquiring revenue increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 mainly from lower debit interchange rates as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act which benefited the growth rate for acquiring revenue by approximately $26 million or 5 percentage points. Acquiring revenue also benefited from increases in merchant transactions and dollar volumes, new sales and pricing increases for regional merchants. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from the impact of merchant mix on transactions and dollar volumes, the affect of shifts in pricing mix, merchant attrition and price compression largely related to national merchants and ISO portfolios.

Revenue growth outpaced transaction growth for the periods presented driven most significantly by the impact of lower debit interchange rates discussed above partially offset by merchant mix, pricing mix and price compression. Revenue per transaction increased 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 driven by the impact of lower debit interchange rates discussed above as well as increased fees from the shift in processing related to the Banc of America Merchant Services, LLC (“BAMS”) alliance described in the “Processing fees and other revenue from alliance partners” section below. In addition, there were decreases in transaction growth resulting from deconversions occurring throughout 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 that did not materially impact revenue. The average ticket size of signature based transactions decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.

Check processing revenue. Check processing revenue decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 due most significantly to the impact of merchant mix resulting from a shift in regional to national merchants and lower overall check volumes from check writer and merchant attrition.

Prepaid revenue. Prepaid revenue increased slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due most significantly to higher transaction volumes within the open loop payroll distribution program related to existing customers and new business mainly offset by the disposition of a line of business in the second quarter of 2011.

Processing fees and other revenue from alliance partners. The increase in processing fees and other revenue from alliance partners in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 resulted from increased fees from the BAMS alliance due to a shift of processing from the alliance partner to the Company beginning in October 2011, as well as increased transaction and dollar volumes within the Company’s merchant alliances. The impact of the shift in processing benefited the 2012 growth rate by approximately $17 million or 56 percentage points.

Product sales and other revenue. Product sales and other revenue remained flat in the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 primarily due to growth in leasing revenue from increased lease originations and lease renewals mostly offset by a decline in equipment sales due in part to a bulk sale to a customer in 2011.

Segment EBITDA. The impact of the revenue items noted above primarily contributed to the increase in Retail and Alliance Services segment EBITDA in the first three months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The impact from the Dodd-Frank Act, benefited segment EBITDA growth in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 by approximately $24 million or 8 percentage points. The impact from the shift in processing related to the BAMS alliance positively impacted segment EBITDA growth for the three months ended 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 by approximately $13 million or 4 percentage points.

Credit card, retail card and debit processing revenue. Credit card and retail card processing revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 due to net new business and volume growth from existing customers partially offset by price compression. Growth in domestic active card accounts on file benefited primarily from net new account conversions, mostly retail accounts; the substantial majority of which were converted in March 2012.

Debit processing revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 due primarily to volume growth from existing customers and new fees implemented in 2011, primarily regulatory compliance fees, partially offset by net lost business and price compression on contract renewals.

Debit issuer transaction growth in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 increased due to impacts from the implementation of Dodd-Frank Act exclusivity rules, growth of existing clients due in part to the shift to debit cards from cash and checks, and new business. Mostly offsetting the increases were decreases due to lost business, including the loss of a large financial institution that is expected to fully deconvert by mid 2012.

During 2010, the Company received notification from the large financial institution noted above that it will not renew its debit processing agreement at the end of the contract term. However, the client extended its processing contract through the deconversion period. Deconversion began in late 2011 and will continue through mid 2012. The Company has also received notification of termination from various financial institutions that are less significant individually, which are scheduled to deconvert throughout 2012. Including the large financial institution, these agreements represented approximately 7% of segment revenue for 2011.

Output services revenue. Output services revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 due to net new business in print and plastics partially offset by price compression from existing customers.

Other revenue. Other revenue consists mostly of revenue from remittance processing, information services, online banking and bill payment services as well as voice services. Other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was flat compared to the same period in 2011 due to decreases in voice services and information services volumes mostly offset by an increase in online banking and bill payment services.

Segment EBITDA. Financial Services segment EBITDA increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due most significantly to decreased operating expenses, primarily technology and operations costs, resulting from reduced headcount and operational efficiencies as well as from the revenue items noted above. The decrease in operating expenses benefited the segment EBITDA growth rate for the first quarter of 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 by 9 percentage points.

Summary. Segment revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 was negatively impacted due to the items discussed below as well as the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exchange rate movements negatively impacted the total segment revenue growth rate in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 by 2 percentage points.

Transaction and processing service fees revenue. Transaction and processing service fees revenue includes merchant related services and card services revenue. Merchant related services revenue encompasses merchant acquiring and processing revenue, debit transaction revenue, POS/ATM transaction revenue and fees from switching services. Card services revenue represents monthly managed service fees for issued cards. Merchant related services transaction and processing service fee revenue represented approximately 58% and 57% and card services revenue represented approximately 42% and 43% of total transaction and processing service fees revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the same period in 2011, respectively.

Transaction and processing service fees revenue decreased in the first three months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to declines in the card issuing businesses partially offset by growth in the merchant acquiring businesses. Revenue in the card issuing businesses declined due to lost business in Germany, the United Kingdom and Central and South Eastern Europe and lower revenue in Greece driven by the economic recession and a strategic decision to exit low-margin businesses. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased transaction volumes in the card issuing business in Argentina and new business in Canada. Increases in the merchant acquiring businesses resulted from growth in the merchant acquiring alliances and direct sales channels in the United Kingdom and Canada. Foreign currency exchange rate movements negatively impacted the transaction and processing service fees growth rate for the first quarter of 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 by 2 percentage points.

Table of Contents

Transaction and processing service fees revenue is driven by accounts on file and transactions. The spread between growth in these two indicators and revenue growth was impacted by foreign currency exchange rate movements, the mix of transaction types and price compression. International card accounts on file in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 decreased primarily due to lost business in China and the United Kingdom that deconverted in the fourth quarter of December 2011.

Product sales and other revenue. Product sales and other revenue increased in the first quarter of 2012 versus the same period in 2011 due to an increase in professional services revenue resulting from new projects in Germany as well as growth in terminal sales and leasing revenue as a result of new clients and growth from existing clients primarily in Argentina. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements negatively impacted the growth rate for product sales and other revenue for the three months ended 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 by 4 percentage points.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to the impact of the revenue items noted above as well as decreased expenses, principally operations and technology costs, driven by cost cutting initiatives. The segment EBITDA growth rate for the first quarter of 2012 versus the comparable period in 2011 benefited from decreased operations and technology costs by 9 percentage points. Segment EBITDA growth was negatively impacted by 3 percentage points in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 from the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

FDC’s source of liquidity is principally cash generated from operating activities supplemented as necessary on a short-term basis by borrowings against its revolving credit facility. The Company believes its current level of cash and short-term financing capabilities along with future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet the needs of the business. The following discussion highlights changes in the Company’s debt structure as well as the Company’s cash flow activities and the sources and uses of funding during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Refer to Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company’s debt structure.

Debt modifications and amendments. On March 13, 2012, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things:

(ii) permit FDC to provide a loan extension request upon such shorter notice period as may be agreed by the administrative agent;

The amendment became effective on March 23, 2012 when FDC issued $845 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.375% senior secured notes due June 15, 2019 and, using the net proceeds therefrom, effected a prepayment of the outstanding 2017 Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement of approximately $807 million. The additional notes are treated as a single series

Table of Contents

with and have the same terms as the previously existing 7.375% notes. The additional notes and the previously existing 7.375% notes vote as one class under the related indenture.

The Company has taken a number of steps to extend its debt maturities and intends to extend additional maturity dates as opportunities allow.

Cash and cash equivalents. Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $329.2 million and $485.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Included in cash and cash equivalents are amounts held by Integrated Payment Systems Inc. (“IPS”) that are not available to fund operations outside of the IPS business. In addition, cash and cash equivalents also includes amounts held by the BAMS alliance, which is consolidated by the Company, that are not available to fund operations outside of the alliance. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the cash and cash equivalents held by IPS and the BAMS alliance totaled $109.2 million and $75.2 million, respectively. All other domestic cash balances, to the extent available, are used to fund the Company’s short-term liquidity needs.

Cash and cash equivalents also includes amounts held outside of the U.S. at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaling $195.7 million and $216.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $50 million of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. that could be used for general corporate purposes. FDC plans to fund any cash needs throughout the remainder of 2012 within the International segment with cash held by the segment, but if necessary, could fund such needs using cash from the U.S., subject to satisfying debt covenant restrictions.

Income tax accounts	(126.0		)	(162.8		)
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(54.2	)	$	108.4

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the periods presented resulted from normal operating activities and reflect the timing of the Company’s working capital requirements.

FDC’s operating cash flow is significantly impacted by its level of debt. Approximately $495 million and $353 million in cash interest was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in cash interest payments from 2011 is primarily due to changes in the timing of coupon payments resulting from the Company’s debt modification activities during the last two years.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to the increase in cash interest payments.

FDC anticipates funding operations throughout the remainder of 2012 primarily with cash flows from operating activities and by closely managing discretionary capital and other spending; however, any shortfalls would be supplemented as necessary by borrowings against its revolving credit facility.

Acquisitions and dispositions. The Company may finance acquisitions through a combination of internally generated funds, reinvestment of proceeds from asset sales, short-term borrowings and equity of its parent company. The Company may also consider using long-term borrowings subject to restrictions in its debt agreements. Although the Company considers potential acquisitions from time to time, the Company’s plan for the remainder of 2012 does not include funding of material acquisitions.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company contributed $7.9 million for a working capital settlement in connection with the contribution of its transportation business to the TCH LLC alliance formed in November 2011.

The Company continues to manage its portfolio of businesses and evaluate the possible divestiture of businesses that do not match its long-term growth objectives.

Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $425 to $475 million in 2012 and are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations and reinvestment of proceeds from asset sales. If, however, those sources are insufficient, the Company will decrease its discretionary capital expenditures or utilize its revolving credit facility.

Short-term borrowings, net. The cash activity related to short-term borrowings in 2012 resulted primarily from net borrowings on FDC’s senior secured revolving credit facility partially offset by paydowns on FDC’s credit lines used principally to prefund settlement activity. In 2011, the cash activity resulted primarily from net paydowns on FDC’s credit lines used principally to prefund settlement activity.

FDC utilizes its revolving credit facility on a short-term basis to fund investing or operating activities when cash flows from operating activities are not sufficient. The Company believes the capacity under its senior secured revolving credit facility is sufficient

Table of Contents

to meet its short-term liquidity needs. FDC’s senior secured revolving credit facility can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2012, FDC’s senior secured revolving credit facility had commitments from financial institutions to provide $1,515.3 million of credit. In addition to the letters of credit discussed below, FDC had $79.0 million outstanding against this facility as of March 31, 2012 and no amount outstanding as of December 31, 2011. Therefore, as of March 31, 2012, $1,389.6 million remained available under this facility. Excluding the letters of credit, the maximum amount outstanding against this facility during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $124 million while the average amount outstanding during the period was approximately $15 million.

Accrued interest funded upon issuance of notes. During the first quarter of 2012, FDC received $16.9 million of accrued interest on the notes issued in connection with the March 2012 debt modification discussed above. The interest will be paid in the second quarter of 2012.

Debt modification proceeds (payments) and related financing costs. During the first quarter of 2012, FDC received net cash proceeds of $8 million related to the March 2012 debt modification discussed above, a substantial portion of which were used to pay expenses related to the modification that were included in the Company’s results of operations. During the first quarter of 2011, FDC paid $18.6 million in fees related to the December 2010 debt exchange discussed in Item 7 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Principal payments on long-term debt. Payments for capital leases totaled $15.8 million and $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

As of May 11, 2012, FDC’s long-term corporate family rating from Moody’s was B3 (stable). The long-term local issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s was B (stable). The long-term issuer default rating from Fitch was B (negative outlook). The Company’s current level of debt may impair the ability of the Company to get additional funding beyond its revolving credit facility if needed.

Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions. The Company may, from time to time, enter into sale-leaseback transactions as a means of financing previously or recently acquired fixed assets, primarily equipment.

Distributions and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Distributions and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily represent distributions of earnings.

Cash dividends. The Company paid cash dividends to First Data Holdings Inc. in 2012.

Letters, lines of credit and other.

(b) Up to $500 million of FDC’s senior secured revolving credit facility is available for letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit are held in connection with lease arrangements, bankcard association agreements and other security agreements. The maximum amount of letters of credit outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $47 million. All letters of credit expire prior to February 20, 2013 with a one-year renewal option. FDC expects to renew most of the letters of credit prior to expiration.

(c) As of March 31, 2012, represents $258.8 million of committed lines of credit as well as certain uncommitted lines of credit and other agreements that are available in various currencies to fund settlement and other activity for the Company’s international operations. FDC cannot use these lines of credit for general corporate purposes. Certain of these arrangements are uncommitted but, as of the dates presented, FDC had borrowings outstanding against them.

In the event one or more of the aforementioned lines of credit becomes unavailable, FDC will utilize its existing cash, cash flows from operating activities or its revolving credit facility to meet its liquidity needs.

Table of Contents

Significant non-cash transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the principal amount of FDC’s senior unsecured notes due 2015 increased by $35.6 million resulting from the “payment” of accrued interest expense. Beginning October 1, 2011, the interest on FDC’s senior unsecured notes due 2015 is required to be paid in cash.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company entered into capital leases, net of trade-ins, totaling approximately $7 million and $68 million, respectively.

Guarantees and covenants. For a description of guarantees and covenants and covenant compliance refer to the “Guarantees and covenants” and “Covenant compliance” sections in “Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants, including its sole financial covenant with Consolidated Senior Secured Debt of $12,344.3 million, Consolidated EBITDA of $2,847.9 million and a Ratio of 4.33 to 1.00 compared to the maximum ratio allowed by the covenant of 6.50 to 1.00.

The calculation of Consolidated EBITDA under FDC’s senior secured term loan facility is as follows:

(in millions)	Last twelve months ended March 31, 2012
Net loss attributable to First Data Corporation	$	(451.5	)
Interest expense, net (1)	1,843.3
Income tax benefit	(230.3		)

Other (14)	(5.8		)
Consolidated EBITDA (15)	$	2,847.9

(1) Includes interest expense and interest income.

(2) Includes amortization of initial payments for new contracts which is recorded as a contra-revenue within “Transaction and processing service fees” of $42.7 million and amortization related to equity method investments, which is netted within the “Equity earnings in affiliates” line of $71.5 million.

(3) Stock based compensation recognized as expense.

(4) Restructuring charges in connection with management’s alignment of the business with strategic objectives.

(5) Due mostly to a gain recognized upon disposition of the Company’s controlling interest in a business, in connection with the formation of an alliance.

(6) Represents fair market value adjustments for cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps that are not designated as accounting hedges.

(7) Represents an adjustment to exclude the official check and money order businesses from EBITDA due to FDC’s wind down of these businesses.

(8) Represents costs directly associated with the termination of the Chase Paymentech alliance and expenses related to the conversion of certain Banc of America Merchant Services alliance merchant clients onto FDC platforms, all of which are considered business optimization projects, and other technology initiatives. Effective October 1, 2011, FDC and BofA jointly

Table of Contents

decided to have FDC operate the Bank’s legacy settlement platform. Costs associated with the revised strategy are also included in this line item.

(9) Represents KKR annual sponsorship fees for management, financial and other advisory services.

(10) Debt issuance costs represent non-capitalized costs associated with issuing debt and modifying FDC’s debt structure.

(11) Reflects cost savings and revenue enhancements projected to be achieved within twelve months on an annualized basis. Includes cost savings initiatives associated with the business optimization projects and other technology initiatives described in Note 8, the BAMS alliance, operations and technology initiatives, headcount reductions and other addressable spend reductions.

(12) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests in restricted subsidiaries.

(13) Represents FDC’s proportional share of income taxes, depreciation and amortization on equity method investments.

(14) Includes items such as non operating foreign currency gains and losses, litigation and regulatory settlements, impairments and other as applicable to the period presented.

(15) EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to First Data Corporation before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to First Data Corporation as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of FDC’s results as reported under GAAP. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Consolidated EBITDA (or debt covenant EBITDA) is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, non-recurring items that FDC does not expect to continue at the same level in the future and certain items management believes will impact future operating results and adjusted to include near-term cost savings projected to be achieved within twelve months on an annualized basis (see Note 8 above). Consolidated EBITDA is further adjusted to add net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests of certain non-wholly-owned subsidiaries and exclude other miscellaneous adjustments that are used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements governing FDC’s senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about items that will impact the calculation of EBITDA that is used to determine covenant compliance under the agreements governing FDC’s senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. Since not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities other than those discussed in the “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” discussion in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those reported at December 31, 2011 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K other than an approximate $78 million reduction in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits discussed in the “Income Taxes” section above.

In March 2012, as discussed above within “Capital Resources and Liquidity”, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things, convert approximately $3.2 billion of the existing term loans maturing in 2014 under FDC’s senior secured term credit facilities into a new dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a new euro-denominated term loan tranche, which will each mature on March 24, 2017. Additionally, FDC issued $845 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.375% senior secured notes due June 15, 2019 and, using the net proceeds therefrom, effected a prepayment of the outstanding 2017 Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement of approximately $807 million. The combined effect of these events did not materially impact the total amount of

the Company’s outstanding obligations but increased future interest payments and extended the maturity of approximately $2.4 billion of obligations from 2014 to 2017 and $0.8 billion of obligations from 2014 to 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

Through its merchant alliances, the Retail and Alliance Services segment holds an ownership interest in several competing merchant acquiring businesses while serving as the electronic processor for those businesses. In order to satisfy state and federal antitrust requirements, the Company actively maintains an antitrust compliance program.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to cause information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The Company has evaluated, under the supervision of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012, to ensure that material information regarding the Company is made known to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow the Company to meet its disclosure obligations.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
