Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 2, 2008, we completed the spin-off of our former lender processing
services segment into a separate publicly traded company, Lender Processing
Services, Inc., referred to as LPS. Subsequent to the LPS spin-off, we reviewed
our reporting and management structure, and beginning with our 2008 Form 10-K,
began reporting the results of our operations in four new reporting segments: 1)
Financial Solutions, 2) Payment Solutions, 3) International and 4) Corporate and
Other.
Because the operating results of our new reporting segments for each quarter
of 2008 will not be reported until we file our Form 10-Q for each of the
comparable quarters of 2009, management desires to furnish more timely
information to investors to improve the understanding of the Company's operating
performance for the new reporting segments. Management is separately furnishing
information which reflects our operating results based on the new reporting
segments for the quarterly periods in 2008. The disclosures on the attached
schedule are limited to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
revenue and operating income and non-GAAP operating income and EBITDA, as
adjusted. This exhibit should be read in conjunction with our Form 8-K furnished
on December 5, 2008, which includes more information.
The purpose of the schedule included in Exhibit 99.1 is to recast our
operating results under our new reporting segments by quarter for 2008 in a
manner consistent with how FIS will report segment operating results in the
first quarter of 2009.
The exhibit included with this filing contains financial information
determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. FIS' management uses
non-GAAP measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual
operating budgets, and to evaluate the operating performance of its businesses
and to compare its operating performance with that of its competitors.
Therefore, management believes non-GAAP measures to be relevant and useful
information for investors. The non-GAAP measures exclude certain items, which
management believes are not indicative of core operating results; however, these
items do impact our income statement, and management therefore utilizes non-GAAP
measures as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures,
such as operating income or other income statement data prepared in accordance
with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures should not be used in isolation or as a
substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance
with GAAP.
The information included in Items 2.02 and 9.01 within this Current Report
are being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information included in Items
2.02 and 9.01 within this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference
into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
A copy of the historical financial data is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
