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, 2007. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
We are a leading provider of technology solutions, processing services, and information-based
services to the financial services industry. Our reportable segments are Transaction Processing
Services and Lender Processing Services.
|
|
|
Transaction Processing Services. This segment focuses on serving the processing needs
of financial institutions. Our primary software applications function as the underlying
infrastructure of a financial institutions core 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, such as item processing and electronic funds transfer that interact directly with
the core processing applications and also including applications that facilitate
interactions between our financial institution customers and their clients such as online
banking and bill payment services and fraud prevention and detection services. We offer
these 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 point-of-sale check
verification and guarantee services to retailers. |
|
|
|
Lender Processing Services. This segment provides core mortgage processing, outsourced
business processes, and information solutions primarily to national lenders and loan
servicers. These processes include centralized, title agency and closing services offered
to first mortgage, refinance, home equity and sub-prime lenders. This segments information
solutions include appraisal and valuation services, real estate tax services and flood zone
information. 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. On October 25, 2007, we announced that our Board of
Directors had approved a plan to pursue a spin-off of the majority of the Lender Processing
Services segment into a separate publicly traded company, which will be referred to as
Lender Processing Services, Inc. |
Corporate overhead costs and other operations that are not included in our operating segments
are included in Corporate and Other.
On September 12, 2007, we completed the acquisition of eFunds Corporation (eFunds) (Note 6).
The eFunds businesses have been integrated into our operations within the Transaction Processing
Services segment.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2007 consolidated financial statements to
conform to the classifications used in 2008.

(2) Lender Processing Services, Inc. Spin-off
On October 25, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a plan to pursue a
spin-off of the businesses that currently make up our Lender Processing Services segment into a
stand alone publicly traded company which will be known as Lender Processing Services, Inc. As
currently contemplated, we will contribute all the assets and liabilities of this
segment, as of the date of the spin-off, into Lender Processing Services, Inc. in exchange for
additional shares of the Lender Processing Services, Inc. common stock and approximately
$1.6 billion principal amount of Lender Processing Services, Inc. debt obligations. We have filed
a Form 10 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Also we
have received a formal private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) that the
spin-off will be tax-free to us and our shareholders. Following the effectiveness of the Form 10
filing and receiving an opinion from our special tax advisor with respect to the tax-free nature of
the spin-off, we will distribute 100% of the Lender Processing Services, Inc. common stock to our
shareholders in the spin-off and exchange the Lender Processing Services, Inc. debt for a like
amount of our existing debt. We expect that the spin-off will be tax-free to FIS and our
shareholders (except that our shareholders will recognize a gain or loss on the receipt of cash in
lieu of fractional shares). We will then retire the debt that is exchanged for the Lender
Processing Services, Inc. debt. Completion of the spin-off is expected to occur in mid-2008.
Completion of the spin-off is contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of a variety of
conditions, including final approval of the spin-off and all related arrangements by our Board of
Directors. The completion of the proposed spin-off is also subject to risks and uncertainties
including but not limited to those associated with our ability to contribute the Lender Processing
Services segment assets and liabilities to Lender Processing Services, Inc., the ability of Lender
Processing Services, Inc. to complete the debt exchange in the manner and on the terms currently
contemplated, the possibility that necessary regulatory and governmental approvals or actions may
not be obtained, and market conditions for the new debt and for the spin-off.
(3) Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007, we discontinued certain
operations in the Transaction Processing Services and Lender Processing Services segments, which
are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
Certegy Gaming Services, Inc.
On April 1, 2008, we sold Certegy Gaming Services, Inc. (Certegy Game) for $25.0 million. We
approved the sale of Certegy Game because its operations were not in line with our strategic plans.
Certegy Game had revenues of $27.2 million and $24.6 million and earnings (losses) before taxes of
$1.2 million and $(0.1) million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. As of March 31, 2008, our Consolidated Balance Sheet included Certegy Game assets of
$38.3 million and liabilities of $13.3 million.
FIS Credit Services, Inc.
On February 29, 2008, we sold FIS Credit Services, Inc. (Credit) for $6.0 million, realizing
a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million. We approved the sale of Credit because its operations were not in
line with our strategic plans. Credit had revenues of $1.4 million and $3.9 million, and losses
before taxes of $0.3 million, excluding the realized gain, and $0.6 million, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Homebuilders Financial Network, LLC
We exited the Homebuilders Financial Network, LLC (HFN) business, due to the loss of a major
customer. HFN had revenues of $1.1 million and $3.1 million and (losses) earnings before taxes of
$(3.4) million and $0.7 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

Property Insight, LLC
We sold Property Insight, LLC (Property Insight) to FNF during the third quarter of 2007. We
approved the sale of Property Insight because its operations were not in line with our strategic
plans. Property Insight had revenues of $21.0 million and income before taxes of $5.4 million
during the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
(4) Related Party Transactions
We have historically conducted business with FNF and its subsidiaries. A summary of the
revenue producing agreements in effect through March 31, 2008 is as follows:
|
|
|
Agreement to provide data processing services. This agreement governs the revenues to
be earned by us 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. |
|
|
|
|
Agreements to provide software development and services. These agreements govern the
fee structure under which we are 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
we are paid for providing other real estate related services to FNF, which consist
primarily of data services required by the title insurance operations. |
|
|
|
|
Agreements to provide title agency services. These agreements allow us to provide
services to existing customers through loan facilitation transactions, primarily with large
national lenders. The arrangement involves FIS providing title agency services which result
in the issuance of title policies on behalf of title insurance underwriters owned by FNF
and its 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 each agreement,
which ranges from July 2004 through September 2006 (thus effectively resulting in a minimum
ten-year term and a rolling one-year term thereafter). Under this agreement, we earn
commissions which, in aggregate, are equal to approximately 89% of the total title premium
from title policies that we place with subsidiaries of FNF. We also perform 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. |

March 31, 2008 and 2007, is as follows (in millions):

Further, we also entered into service agreements with FNF to provide corporate services to us.
A summary of these agreements in effect through March 31, 2008 is as follows:
|
|
|
Agreements by FNF to provide corporate services to us. Since November 9, 2006, these
charges relate to certain insignificant activities performed or recorded by FNF on behalf
of us. The pricing of these services is at cost for services which are either directly
attributable to us, or in certain circumstances, an allocation of our share of the total
costs incurred by FNF in providing such services based on estimates
that FNF and we 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 us to FNF or its subsidiaries in connection with our use of certain
intellectual property or other assets of or services by FNF. |
On August 31, 2007, we completed the sale of Property Insight to FNF. The net earnings from
Property Insight, including related party revenues and expenses, are classified as earnings from
discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Property Insights related party
revenues and expenses with FNF were $12.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the three
month period ended March 31, 2007. As a result of the transaction, during the three month period
ended March 31, 2008, we incurred related party expenses relating to our title agency operations
access to Property Insights data subsequent to the sale, which are included in the table below.
A detail of FNF related party items included in operating expenses (net of expense
reimbursements) for the three month periods ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, is as follows (in

We believe the amounts
earned from or charged by FNF to us under each of the foregoing
service arrangements were fair and reasonable. We believe that the approximate 89% aggregate
commission rate on title insurance policies 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. Our information
technology infrastructure support and data center management services to FNF are priced within the
range of prices we offer to third parties. However, the amounts we earned or that were charged
under these arrangements were not negotiated at arms-length, and may not represent the terms that
we might have obtained from an unrelated third party.
We also provide data processing services to Sedgwick CMS, Inc. (Sedgwick), a company in
which FNF holds an approximate 40% equity interest. We recorded revenue relating to the Sedgwick
arrangement of $9.7 million and $8.3 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Other related party transactions:
Merger with FNF Capital
On October 26, 2006, we completed a merger with FNF Capital, Inc. (FNF Capital), a leasing
subsidiary of Old FNF. We issued 279,000 shares of our common stock to Old FNF in exchange for a
majority ownership in FNF Capital. The transaction was recorded at Old FNFs historical basis in
FNF Capital of approximately $2.3 million and we purchased the minority ownership shortly
thereafter for $3.8 million in cash. Through the merger, we assumed a note payable to Old FNF of
$13.9 million, and we recorded $0.2 million of interest expense related to this note during the
three months ended March 31, 2007. On September 30, 2007, we sold certain leasing assets of FNF
Capital back to FNF for $15.0 million and FNF assumed the aforementioned note payable and other
liabilities. We also recorded a $7.3 million note receivable from FNF relating to the transaction,
and we recorded $0.1 million of interest income related to this note during the three months ended
March 31, 2008.
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), an FIS subsidiary, for approximately 61% of the outstanding shares of
FNRES. As a result, since December 31, 2006, we no longer consolidate FNRES, but have recorded our
remaining 39% interest as an equity investment in the amount of $28.5 million and $30.5 million as
of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
11
FIDELITY NATIONAL INFORMATION SERVICES, INC.

respectively. We recorded $2.0 million and $0.5 million in equity losses (net of tax), from
our investment in FNRES, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Transactions with ABN AMRO Real and Banco Bradesco S.A.
We recorded revenues of $14.7 million and $13.2 million for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, from ABN AMRO Real (ABN). We recorded revenues of
$20.9 million and $8.6 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, from Banco Bradesco (Bradesco). Both ABN and Bradesco are venture partners in our
Brazilian card business.

Options to purchase approximately 8.6 million shares and 4.8 million shares of our common
stock for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.
(6) Acquisitions
The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements
from and after the date of acquisition.
eFunds Corporation
On September 12, 2007, we completed the acquisition of eFunds (the eFunds Acquisition). This
acquisition expanded our presence in risk management services, EFT services, prepaid/gift card
processing, and global outsourcing solutions to financial services companies in the U.S. and
internationally. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the eFunds Merger Agreement) dated
as of June 26, 2007, eFunds became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIS. The issued and outstanding
shares of eFunds common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were converted into the right to receive
$36.50 per share in cash from us.

The allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets, including computer software and
customer relationships, is based on valuations performed to determine the values of such assets as
of the merger date. We believe the valuations have been substantially completed as of March 31,
2008.

We are currently evaluating the various employment agreements, lease agreements, vendor
arrangements, and customer contracts of eFunds. This evaluation has resulted in the recognition of
certain liabilities associated with exiting activities of the acquired company. We expect to
substantially complete this evaluation during the first half of 2008 and will adjust the amounts
recorded as of March 31, 2008 to reflect our revised evaluations, if necessary.
In connection with the eFunds Acquisition, we also adopted eFunds stock option plans and
registered approximately 2.2 million options and 0.2 million restricted stock units in replacement
of similar outstanding awards held by eFunds employees. The amounts attributable to vested options
are included as an adjustment to purchase price and the amounts attributable to unvested options
and restricted stock units will be expensed over the remaining vesting period based on a valuation
as of the date of closing. On March 31, 2008, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, we accelerated the vesting of all stock awards held by eFunds employees. As a
result we recorded $14.1 million in additional stock compensation expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2008.

(7) Long-Term Debt
Through the eFunds Acquisition on September 12, 2007, we assumed $100.0 million in long-term
notes payable previously issued by eFunds (the eFunds Notes). On February 26, 2008, we redeemed
the eFunds Notes for a total of $109.3 million, which included a make-whole premium of
$9.3 million.
We have entered into the following interest rate swap transactions converting a portion of our
interest rate exposure on our $2.1 billion five-year term facility (the Term Loan A), a secured
$1.6 billion tranche of term loans (the Term Loan B) and a $900 million revolving credit facility

In addition to the fixed rates paid under the swaps, we pay
an applicable margin to our bank lenders on the Term Loan A of 1.00%, the

fee of 0.20%) as of March 31, 2008. |

Subsequent to quarter end, the interest rate swap expired. |
We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in accordance with
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The estimated fair
value of these cash flow hedges results in a liability of $117.6 million and $41.2 million, as of
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which is included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets in other long-term liabilities 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 Loans. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate
swaps are Level 2-type measurements.
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.

(8) Income Taxes
During 2007 we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). As a result of the adoption, we had no change to reserves
for uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties on accrued but unpaid taxes are classified in
the consolidated financial statements as income tax expense. Our unrecognized tax benefit decreased
by $5.7 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2008, due to a preliminary settlement
with taxing authorities. As a result of this preliminary settlement and subsequent payment, the
total amount of interest recognized in the statement of financial position decreased $2.7 million
during the same period.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened
litigation matters related to 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 decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals. |
Grace & Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd.
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. (AIS) in June of 2001. In March of 2002 (before AIS was acquired by
us) Graces contract was terminated because it was no longer providing sales agent services. In May
of 2004, Grace asserted a claim against us for unpaid sales commissions, and filed suit later that
same year. The case was subsequently dismissed and re-filed in March of 2006. In the second filing,
Grace alleged damages caused by breach of contract, violation of the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Graces FCPA and RICO allegations prompted inquiries by both the SEC and the U.S. Department of
Justice. We vigorously defended Graces 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
U.S. Department of Justice closed its investigation with no action being taken against us. We are
awaiting a final determination from the SEC.
Drivers Privacy Protection Act
A putative class action lawsuit styled Richard Fresco, et al. v. Automotive Directions, Inc.
et al., was filed against eFunds and seven other non-related parties in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleged that eFunds purchased motor vehicle records
that were used for marketing and other purposes that are not permitted under the Federal Drivers
Privacy Protection Act (DPPA). The plaintiffs sought statutory damages, plus costs, attorneys
fees and injunctive relief. eFunds and five of the other seven defendants settled the case with the
plaintiffs. That settlement was preliminarily approved by the court over the objection of a group
of Texas drivers and motor vehicle record holders and is awaiting final approval. The objectors
filed two class action complaints styled Sharon Taylor, et al. v. Biometric Access Company et al.
and Sharon Taylor, et al. v. Acxiom et al. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas alleging similar violations of the DPPA. The Acxiom action is filed against eFunds subsidiary
ChexSystems, Inc., while the Biometric suit is filed against Certegy Check Services, Inc.
ChexSystems filed a motion to dismiss or stay the action based upon the earlier settlement which
was granted. The judge recused himself in the action against Certegy Check Services, Inc. in
February of 2008 because
15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Continued
he is a potential member of the class. The lawsuit was reassigned to a new judge (living in
Arkansas) and Certegy filed a motion to dismiss. Certegy believes both the DPPA and Texas law
allow it to obtain motor vehicle records for the purposes outlined in its contract with the State
of Texas, but the Court has not yet ruled on this issue.
Employee Data Theft
On July 3, 2007, we announced that a database administrator had misappropriated consumer
information. To date, we have seen no evidence of the stolen information being used for anything
other than marketing purposes. Nevertheless, multiple putative class action lawsuits were filed
against us seeking monetary damages. Those class actions were settled in January of 2008. The Court
preliminarily approved the settlement in March of 2008. Notice of the settlement will be mailed to
class members during the second quarter of 2008. Final approval of the settlement will be sought
once the notice process is complete. This is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2008.
(10) Defined Benefit Plans
During 2007 we amended the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) to effectively
freeze the benefits under the plan resulting in a curtailment and settlement of that plan
at December 31, 2007. The unfunded status of the SERP at December 31, 2007 was a liability of
$10.4 million and this liability was paid in full on February 1, 2008.
In connection with our operations in Germany, we have unfunded, defined benefit plan
obligations. These obligations relate to retirement benefits to be paid to employees upon
retirement.
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $0.8
million, in total benefit costs relating to these plans.
(11) Stock Option Plans
On March 31, 2008, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, we
accelerated the vesting of all stock awards held by eFunds employees. As a result, we recorded
$14.1 million in additional stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
In total, we provided for stock compensation expense of $26.4 million and $8.5 million for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in selling,
general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
(12) Segment Information
Our operating segments are Transaction Processing Services and Lender Processing Services.
This structure reflects how the businesses are operated and managed. The primary components of the
Transaction Processing Services segment, which includes Certegys Card and Check Services,
financial institution processing and the operations acquired from eFunds, are Enterprise Solutions,
Integrated Financial Solutions and International businesses. The primary components of the Lender
Processing Services segment are Mortgage Processing, which includes mortgage lender processing, and
Mortgage Information Services, which includes Lender Services, Default Management, and Information
Services.

Transaction Processing Services
The Transaction Processing Services 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
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

institutions. Included in this segment were $186.4 million and $139.5 million in sales to
non-U.S. based customers in the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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
statements. 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 to which forward-looking statements are subject include, but are not limited to:
risks associated with the proposed spin-off of the Lender Processing Services (LPS) segment by FIS,
including the ability of FIS to contribute certain LPS assets and liabilities to the entity to be
spun off, the ability of LPS to obtain debt on acceptable terms and exchange that debt with certain
holders of the FIS debt, obtaining government approvals, obtaining FIS Board of Directors approval,
market conditions for the spin-off, and the risk that the spin-off will not be beneficial once
accomplished, including as a result of unexpected dis-synergies resulting from the separation or
unfavorable reaction from customers, rating agencies or other constituencies; changes in general
economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; the
effects of our substantial leverage (both at FIS prior to the spin-off and at the separate
companies after the spin-off), 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; failures
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; the possibility that our acquisition
of eFunds may not be accretive to our earnings due to undisclosed liabilities, management or
integration issues, loss of customers, the inability to achieve targeted cost savings, or other
factors; and other risks detailed in the Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information, Risk
Factors and other sections of the Companys 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,
serving customers in over 80 countries throughout the world. We are among the market leaders in
core processing, card issuing services, check point-of-sale verification and guarantee, mortgage
processing, and certain other lender processing services in the U.S. We offer a diversified service
mix, and benefit from the opportunity to cross-sell multiple services across our broad customer
base. We have two reporting segments, Transaction Processing Services and Lender Processing
Services, which produced approximately 64% and 36%, respectively, of our revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.

Transaction Processing Services. This segment focuses on serving the processing needs
of financial institutions. Our primary software applications function as the underlying
infrastructure of a financial |

institutions core 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, such as item processing and
electronic funds transfer that interact directly with the core processing applications and
also including applications that facilitate interactions between our financial institution
customers and their clients such as online banking and bill payment services and fraud
prevention and detection services. We offer these 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 point-of-sale check verification and guarantee services to retailers. |
|
|
|
|
Lender Processing Services. This segment provides core mortgage processing, outsourced
business processes, and information solutions primarily to national lenders and loan
servicers. These processes include centralized, title agency and closing services offered
to first mortgage, refinance, home equity and sub-prime lenders. This segments information
solutions include appraisal and valuation services, real estate tax services and flood zone
information. 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. |
Corporate overhead costs and other operations that are not included in our operating segments
are included in Corporate and Other.
On October 25, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a plan to pursue a
spin-off of the businesses that currently make up our Lender Processing Services segment into a
stand alone publicly traded company which will be known as Lender Processing Services, Inc. As
currently contemplated, we will contribute all the assets and liabilities of this
segment, as of the date of the spin-off, into Lender Processing Services, Inc. in exchange for
additional shares of the Lender Processing Services, Inc. common stock and approximately
$1.6 billion principal amount of Lender Processing Services, Inc. debt obligations. We have filed
a Form 10 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Also we
have received a formal private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) that the
spin-off will be tax-free to us and our shareholders. Following the effectiveness of the Form 10
filing and receiving an opinion from our special tax advisor with respect to the tax-free nature of
the spin-off, we will distribute 100% of the Lender Processing Services, Inc. common stock to our
shareholders in the spin-off and exchange the Lender Processing Services, Inc. debt for a like
amount of our existing debt. We expect that the spin-off will be tax-free to FIS and our
shareholders (except that our shareholders will recognize a gain or loss on the receipt of cash in
lieu of fractional shares). We will then retire the debt that is exchanged for the Lender
Processing Services, Inc. debt. Completion of the spin-off is expected to occur in mid-2008.
Completion of the spin-off is contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of a variety of
conditions, including final approval of the spin-off and all related arrangements by our Board of
Directors. The completion of the proposed spin-off is also subject to risks and uncertainties
including but not limited to those associated with our ability to contribute the Lender Processing
Services segment assets and liabilities to Lender Processing Services, Inc., the ability of Lender
Processing Services, Inc. to complete the debt exchange in the manner and on the terms currently
contemplated, the possibility that necessary regulatory and governmental approvals or actions may
not be obtained, and market conditions for the new debt and for the spin-off.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since our Form 10-K
was filed on February 29, 2008.

Transactions with Related Parties
We have historically conducted business with FNF and its subsidiaries, and other related
parties. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of
all the related party transactions.
Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007, we discontinued certain
operations in the Transaction Processing Services and Lender Processing Services segments, which
are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
Certegy Gaming Services, Inc.
On April 1, 2008, we sold Certegy Gaming Services, Inc. (Certegy Game) for $25.0 million. We
approved the sale of Certegy Game because its operations were not in line with our strategic plans.

$1.2 million and $(0.1) million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. As of March 31, 2008, our Consolidated Balance Sheet included Certegy Game assets of
$38.3 million and liabilities of $13.3 million.
FIS
Credit Services, Inc.
On February 29, 2008, we sold FIS Credit Services, Inc. (Credit) for $6.0 million, realizing
a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million. We approved the sale of Credit because its operations were not in
line with our strategic plans. Credit had revenues of
$1.4 million and $3.9 million, and losses
before taxes of $0.3 million, excluding the realized gain, and $0.6 million, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Homebuilders Financial Network, LLC
We exited the Homebuilders Financial Network, LLC (HFN) business, due to the loss of a major
customer. HFN had revenues of $1.1 million and $3.1 million and (losses) earnings before taxes of
$(3.4) million and $0.7 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Property Insight, LLC
We sold Property Insight, LLC (Property Insight) to FNF during the third quarter of 2007. We
approved the sale of Property Insight because its operations were not in line with our strategic
plans. Property Insight had revenues of $21.0 million and income before taxes of $5.4 million
during the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
Factors Affecting Comparability
Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report that present our financial
condition and operating results reflect the following significant transactions:
|
|
|
On September 12, 2007, we acquired eFunds (the eFunds Acquisition). eFunds provided
risk management, EFT services, prepaid/gift card processing, and global outsourcing
solutions to financial services companies in the U.S. and internationally. In connection
with this acquisition, we borrowed an additional $1.6 billion under our bank credit
facilities. The results of operations and financial position of eFunds are included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition. |
As a result of this 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 $1,291.0 million and $1,071.4 million for three month
periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of 20.5% in the three
month period ended March 31, 2008. The increase in revenue of $219.6 million is primarily due to
the inclusion of eFunds in 2008, as well as organic growth. The eFunds Acquisition contributed
approximately $141.3 million to the overall increase in revenues. Excluding the impact of the
eFunds Acquisition, consolidated revenue growth was $78.2 million, or 7.3%, with the Transaction
Processing Services segment experiencing growth in the International revenue channel of $23.6
million, or 17.0%, and the Integrated Financial Solutions revenue channel of $13.8 million, or
4.9%, partially offset by a reduction in the Enterprise Solutions revenue channel of $8.0 million, or 3.4%.
Growth in the Lender Processing Services segment of $51.8 million, or 12.6%, was driven primarily
by increased demand and market share gains in our Information Services revenue channel, partially
offset by a decrease of $6.7 million, or 7.4%, in our Mortgage Information revenue channel.
22
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues totaled $928.6 million and $772.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Consistent with the change in revenues, the increase in cost of
revenues of $156.2 million was driven primarily by the eFunds Acquisition, as well as by organic
growth in both segments.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues (gross profit margin) was approximately 28.1% and
27.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in gross
profit margin is primarily attributable to revenue growth in the Lender Processing Services
segment, which historically has higher margin operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $163.6 million and $113.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase of $50.5 million primarily
relates to the incremental costs from eFunds, as well as an increase in stock compensation expense to
$26.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $8.5 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2007. The $17.9 million increase in stock compensation was driven largely by the
accelerated vesting of options held by eFunds employees totaling $14.1 million.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs totaled $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007.
Operating Income
Operating income totaled $171.8 million and $158.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating income as a percentage of revenue (operating margin)
was approximately 13.3% and 14.8% respectively, reflecting the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses and the stock compensation charges noted previously.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $62.4 million and $72.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. The three months ended March 31, 2007 included a $27.2 million charge
to record the write-off of capitalized debt issuance costs due to the refinancing of our prior
credit facility. Excluding this charge, interest expense increased $17.5 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase is due to the higher
average outstanding long-term debt balance, primarily relating to borrowings to fund the eFunds
Acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in key interest rates.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $41.0 million and $32.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 36.6% and 37.2%,
respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a higher proportion of
foreign source income in the current year.
Net Earnings
Net earnings from continuing operations totaled $68.9 million and $56.4 million for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, or $0.35 and $0.29 per diluted share,
respectively. Net earnings from discontinued operations were $1.6 million (including an after-tax
gain on the sale of Credit of $2.5 million) and $3.1 million for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, or $0.01 per diluted share in each period.

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 $826.8 million and $656.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The overall segment increase of $170.8 million, or
26.0%, for the period was partially attributable to the three months of incremental revenues from
eFunds, which contributed approximately $141.3 million to the increase. Excluding
the impact of eFunds, the segment growth is a result of organic growth in International and
Integrated Financial Solutions, driven primarily by our payment services businesses, including our
card operation in Brazil. The decline in Enterprise Solutions revenues results from lower
software license sales coupled with lower check volumes in the check risk management business.
Cost of revenues totaled $634.3 million and $507.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The overall segment increase of $126.8 million, or 25.0%, is
primarily the result of incremental costs from eFunds, as well as cost
associated with organic growth in International and Integrated Financial Solutions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $65.2 million and $40.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in the 2008 period is
primarily the result of incremental costs from eFunds, including some
duplicative costs as we continue to work towards achieving synergies related to the eFunds
Acquisition.
Research and development costs totaled $19.5 million and $17.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Operating income totaled $107.9 million and $90.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating margin was approximately 13.0% and 13.7% for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, reflecting the impact of increased selling,
general and administrative expenses driven by the eFunds Acquisition.

Revenues for the Lender Processing Services segment totaled $464.1 million and $412.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Growth in Lender Processing
Services of $51.8 million, or 12.6%, was driven primarily by market share gains and increased levels of mortgage defaults resulting in growth in appraisal and default services, which more than offset declines
in our tax and tax deferred property exchange businesses.
24
Cost of revenues totaled $294.3 million and $264.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The overall segment increase of $29.4 million, or 11.1%, is
primarily due to increasing revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $45.9 million and $42.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in the 2008 period is
primarily attributable to increased labor costs, including sales and customer service.
Research and development costs totaled $7.6 million and $9.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Operating income totaled $116.4 million and $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating margin was approximately 25.1% and 23.1% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, reflecting expansion of margins in default
services, in particular our title, escrow and foreclosure operations.
Corporate and Other
Corporate overhead costs and other operations that are not included in our operating segments are
included in Corporate and Other. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $52.5 million
and $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is
primarily due to an increase in stock compensation of $17.9 million, including $14.1 million
related to the acceleration of vesting for stock awards assumed in the eFunds Acquisition, as well as incremental selling, general and administrative costs from
eFunds. Corporate expenses also increased due to the inclusion of approximately $2.9 million of
costs associated with the planned spin-off of Lender Processing Services, Inc.
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,
stockholder dividends, and business acquisitions. Our principal sources of funds are cash generated
by operations and borrowings.
At March 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $328.0 million and debt of approximately
$4,179.3 million, 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 a $0.05 dividend on a quarterly basis, and expect to continue to do so in the
future. The declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, and depends on, among other things, our investment policy and opportunities, results of
operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be
considered relevant by our Board of Directors, including legal and contractual restrictions.
Additionally, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by covenants in certain debt agreements.
A regular quarterly dividend of $.05 per common share was paid March 27, 2008 to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on March 13, 2008.
We intend to limit dilution caused by option exercises, including anticipated exercises, by
repurchasing shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. 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 (the Old Plan). During the three months ended March 31, 2008,
under the Old Plan we repurchased 245,000 shares of our stock for $9.9 million, at an average price
of $40.56. On April 17, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a plan authorizing
25
repurchases of up to
$250.0 million worth of our common stock (the New Plan). Under the New
Plan we repurchased 1,150,000 shares of our stock for
$42.7 million, at an average price of $37.12,
through May 8, 2008.
Cash Flows from Operations
Cash flows from operations were $168.2 million and $72.4 million for the three month periods
ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Included in first quarter 2008 cash flow from
operations was a $0.4 million reduction in taxes payable due to stock option exercises. Included in
2007 cash flow from operations was a $10.8 million reduction in taxes payable due to stock option
exercises.
Capital Expenditures
Our principal capital expenditures are for computer software (purchased and internally
developed) and additions to property and equipment. We spent approximately $89.5 million and $73.1
million on capital expenditures during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
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 Letter 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 our prior term loans and revolver as well as a $100 million settlement
facility. As a result of the new credit agreement, we 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 became secured as of September 12, 2007, provides for a committed $2.1 billion
five-year term facility denominated in U.S. Dollars (the Term Loan A) 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 originally provided for an uncommitted incremental loan facility
in the maximum principal amount of $600 million, which would be made available only upon receipt of
further commitments from lenders under the Credit Agreement sufficient to fund the amount requested
by us. On July 30, 2007, we, along with the requisite lenders, executed an amendment to the
existing Credit Agreement to facilitate our acquisition of eFunds. The amendment permitted the
issuance of up to $2.1 billion in additional loans, an increase from the foregoing $600 million.
The amendment became effective September 12, 2007. On September 12, 2007, we entered into a joinder
agreement to obtain a secured $1.6 billion tranche of term loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (the
Term Loan B) under the Credit Agreement, utilizing $1.6 billion of the $2.1 billion uncommitted
incremental loan amount. The Term Loan B proceeds were used to finance the eFunds Acquisition, and
pay related fees and expenses. The Term Loan B will mature on January 18, 2014. Debt issuance costs
of $24.5 million are capitalized as of March 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Term Loan A balance was $2,034.4 million and
$2,047.5 million, respectively, the Term Loan B balance was $1,592.0 million and $1,596.0 million,
respectively, and a total of $330.0 million and $308.0 million, respectively, was outstanding under
the Revolving Loan. The obligations under the Credit Agreement have been jointly and severally,
unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, we and certain
subsidiary guarantors pledged certain equity interests we and they held in other
entities (including certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries) as collateral security for the
obligations under the credit facility and the guarantee. The pledge also serves to equally and
ratably secure our obligations under our outstanding 4.75% notes due 2008, discussed below.
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 A
in scheduled installments of: (a) $13.1 million per quarter from June 30, 2007 through December 31,
2008; (b) $26.3 million per quarter from
26
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. We must make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan B in scheduled
installments of $4.0 million per quarter from December 31, 2007 through September 30, 2013 with the
remaining balance of approximately $1.5 billion payable on January 18, 2014. As discussed above, we
expect to exchange Lender Processing Services, Inc. debt we will receive in connection with the
Lender Processing Services, Inc. spin-off for our outstanding Term Loan B, which will immediately
thereafter be retired.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, the Term Loans are (with certain exceptions)
subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, casualty and condemnation events, and sales
of assets, as well as from a percentage of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
between zero and fifty percent commencing with the cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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 on the Loans bears interest at a floating rate, which is an applicable
margin plus, at our option, either (a) the Eurocurrency (LIBOR) rate or (b) either (i) the federal
funds rate or (ii) the prime rate. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on a
leverage ratio (our total indebtedness to our EBITDA in our consolidated subsidiaries, 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 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, a prohibition on the
payment of dividends and other restricted payments if an event of default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage
ratio. Upon an event of default, the Administrative Agent can accelerate the maturity of the Loans.
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. These events of default
include a cross-default provision that permits the lenders to declare the Credit Agreement in
default if (i) we fail to make any payment after the applicable grace period under any indebtedness
with a principal amount in excess of $150 million or (ii) we fail to perform any other term under
any such indebtedness, as a result of which the holders thereof may cause it to become due and
payable prior to its maturity. We were in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit
Agreement at March 31, 2008.
Both the Credit Agreement and the 4.75% notes referred to below are equally and ratably
secured by a pledge of equity interests in our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions for
subsidiaries not required to be pledged. As of March 31, 2008, the shares of subsidiaries
representing less than 10% of our net assets were subject to such pledge.
Through the Certegy Merger, we have an obligation to service $200.0 million (aggregate
principal amount) of secured 4.75% fixed-rate notes due in 2008. The notes were recorded in
purchase accounting at a discount of $5.7 million, which is being amortized over the term of the
notes. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on
each of March 15 and September 15. The notes include customary events of default, including a
cross-default provision that permits the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the Notes to
declare the Notes in default if (i) we fail to make any payment after the applicable grace period
under any indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $10 million or (ii) we fail to perform
any other term under any such indebtedness, as a result of which the holders thereof have caused it
to become due and payable prior to its maturity.
Through the eFunds Acquisition on September 12, 2007, we assumed $100.0 million in long-term
notes payable previously issued to eFunds (the eFunds Notes). Subsequent to year-end, we redeemed
the eFunds Notes for a total of $109.3 million, which includes a make-whole premium of
$9.3 million. We completed the redemption on February 26, 2008.

In addition to the fixed rates paid under the swaps, we pay an
applicable margin to our bank lenders on the Term Loan A of 1.00%, the

fee of 0.20%) as of March 31, 2008. |

|
Subsequent to quarter end, the interest rate swap expired. |
We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in accordance with
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The estimated fair
value of these cash flow hedges results in a liability of $117.6 million and $41.2 million, as of
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, which is included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets in long-term liabilities 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 Loans. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate
swaps are Level 2-type measurements.
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.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations have not changed materially from the table included in our Form
10-K as filed on February 29, 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
FIS does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases.
Escrow Arrangements
In conducting our title agency, closing and 1031 tax deferred exchange operations, we
routinely hold customers assets in escrow and investment accounts, pending completion of real
estate and exchange transactions. Certain of these amounts are maintained in segregated bank
accounts and have not been included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We have a
contingent liability relating to proper disposition of these balances, which amounted to
$1,510.2 million at March 31, 2008. For the customers assets that we hold in escrow, we have
ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits through favorable borrowing and vendor
arrangements with various banks. We had no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2008, under these
arrangements with respect to these assets in escrow. At that date, our customers tax deferred
assets that were held in investment accounts were largely invested in short-term, high grade
investments that minimize the risk to principal.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require
any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a
fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. In February 2008, the FASB
issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 (FSP 157-2), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which
delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,
except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS 157 was effective for us beginning
January 1, 2008; FSP
157-2 delays the effective date for certain items to
January 1, 2009. Items in our Consolidated
Financial Statements which SFAS 157 is already effective for are
discussed in the Financing section of Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption
of this statement may have on nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in our financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS 141(R)), requiring an acquirer in a business combination to recognize the assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values at
the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. The costs of the acquisition and any related
restructuring costs will be recognized separately. Assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies in a business combination are to be recognized at their fair value at the acquisition
date and adjusted prospectively as new information becomes available. When the fair value of assets
acquired exceeds the fair value of consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in
the acquiree, the excess will be recognized as a gain. Under SFAS 141(R), all business combinations
will be accounted for prospectively by applying the acquisition method, including combinations
among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone. SFAS 141(R) is effective for periods
beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and will apply to business combinations occurring after
the effective date.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), requiring noncontrolling interests
(sometimes called minority interests) to be presented as a component of equity on the balance
sheet. SFAS 160 also requires that the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interests be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated
statement of income. This statement eliminates the need to apply purchase accounting when a parent
company acquires a noncontrolling ownership interest in a subsidiary and requires that, upon
deconsolidation of a subsidiary, a parent company recognize a gain or loss in net income after
which any retained noncontrolling interest will be reported at fair value. SFAS 160 requires
expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that identify and distinguish between
the interests of the parents owners and the interest of the noncontrolling owners of subsidiaries.
SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied
prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied
retrospectively for all periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this
statement on our statements of financial position and operations.
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 has determined the impact of adopting
SFAS 159 will be immaterial on our statements of financial position and operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
As of March 31, 2008, we are paying interest on the Credit Agreement at LIBOR plus 1.00% on
our Term Loan A and LIBOR plus 1.75% on our Term Loan B. A one percent increase in the LIBOR rate
would increase our annual debt service on the Credit Agreement by $12.1 million (based on principal
amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2008, net of interest rate swaps). The credit rating assigned
to FIS by Standard & Poors was BB as of March 31, 2008.
29
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.
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 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 decisions on the assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals. |
Grace & Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd.
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. (AIS) in June of 2001. In March of 2002 (before AIS was acquired by
us) Graces contract was terminated because it was no longer providing sales agent services. In May
of 2004, Grace asserted a claim against us for unpaid sales commissions, and filed suit later that
same year. The case was subsequently dismissed and re-filed in March of 2006. In the second filing,
Grace alleged damages caused by breach of contract, violation of the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Graces FCPA and RICO allegations prompted inquiries by both the SEC and the U.S. Department of
Justice. We vigorously defended Graces 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
U.S. Department of Justice closed its investigation with no action being taken against us. We are
awaiting a final determination from the SEC.
Drivers Privacy Protection Act
A putative class action lawsuit styled Richard Fresco, et al. v. Automotive Directions, Inc.
et al., was filed against eFunds and seven other non-related parties in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleged that eFunds purchased motor vehicle records
that were used for marketing and other purposes that are not permitted under the Federal Drivers
Privacy Protection Act (DPPA). The plaintiffs sought statutory damages, plus costs, attorneys
fees and injunctive relief. eFunds and five of the other seven defendants settled the case with the
plaintiffs. That settlement was preliminarily approved by the court over the objection of a group
of Texas drivers and motor vehicle record holders and is awaiting final approval. The objectors
filed two class action complaints styled Sharon Taylor, et al. v. Biometric Access Company et al.
and Sharon Taylor, et al. v. Acxiom et al. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas alleging similar violations of the DPPA. The Acxiom action is filed against eFunds subsidiary
ChexSystems, Inc., while the Biometric suit is filed against Certegy Check Services, Inc.
ChexSystems filed a motion to dismiss or stay the action based upon the earlier settlement which
was granted. The judge recused himself in the action against Certegy Check Services, Inc. in
February of 2008 because he is a potential member of the class. The lawsuit was reassigned to a new
judge (living in Arkansas) and Certegy filed a motion to dismiss. Certegy believes both the DPPA
and Texas law allow it to obtain motor vehicle records for the purposes outlined in its contract
with the State of Texas, but the Court has not yet ruled on this issue.
30
Employee Data Theft
On July 3, 2007, we announced that a database administrator had misappropriated consumer
information. To date, we have seen no evidence of the stolen information being used for anything
other than marketing purposes. Nevertheless, multiple putative class action lawsuits were filed
against us seeking monetary damages. Those class actions were settled in January of 2008. The Court
preliminarily approved the settlement in March of 2008. Notice of the settlement will be mailed to
class members during the second quarter of 2008. Final approval of the settlement will be sought
once the notice process is complete. This is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2008.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In the wake of the current mortgage market, there could be adverse regulatory consequences or
litigation that could affect us.
Various aspects of our businesses are subject to federal and state regulation. The sharp rise
in home foreclosures that started in the United States during the fall of 2006 and has accelerated
in 2007 and 2008 has begun to result in investigations and lawsuits against various parties
commenced by various governmental authorities and third parties. It has also resulted in
governmental review of aspects of the mortgage lending business, which may lead to greater
regulation in areas such as appraisals, default management, loan closings and regulatory reporting.
Such actions and proceedings could have adverse consequences that could affect our business.
Over the last few months, the New York Attorney General has been conducting an inquiry into
various practices in the mortgage market, including a review of the possibility that conflicts of
interest have in some cases affected the accuracy of property appraisals. Recently, the NYAG
announced a resolution of a portion of this inquiry with respect to Federal National Mortgage
Association, which we refer to as Fannie Mae, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, which we
refer to as Freddie Mac. Under agreements entered into with the NYAG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
each committed to adopt a new Home Valuation Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct establishes
requirements governing appraiser selection, compensation, conflicts of interest and corporate
independence, among other matters. Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have agreed that they will not
purchase any single family mortgage loans, other than government-insured loans, originated after
January 1, 2009 from mortgage originators that have not adopted the Code of Conduct with respect to
such loans. Among other things, the Code of Conduct prohibits the purchase of home mortgage loans by
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if the associated appraisal is performed by an appraiser that is employed by the
lender, a real estate settlement services provider or a subsidiary of a real estate settlement services provider.
Although we provide
real estate settlement services, we do not employ appraisers. Instead, we manage the activities of thousands
of appraisers who all work as independent contractors. Nevertheless, Freddie Mac has issued a bulletin
indicating that the prohibition in the Code of Conduct applies to loans for which the
appraisal was performed by independent contractor appraisers as well as employees.
The Code of Conduct was subject to a comment period that expired on April 30, 2008. We
participated in the comment process to attempt to clarify that we are not covered by the Code of
Conduct. At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate effect of the Code of Conduct on our
business or results of operations 2008.
