NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

 

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

 

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

FAIR VALUES

 

The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, securities processing receivables and payables, customer funds held and retirement account deposits, short-term borrowings and accrued expenses approximate the carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The fair value of investments is determined based on quoted market prices. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates and the fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on dealer quotes (see Note 3).

 

 

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes. The Company’s accounting method for derivative financial instruments is based upon the designation of such instruments as cash flow hedges under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in net income. It is the policy of the Company to execute such instruments with creditworthy banks and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenues from the sale of data processing services, plastic card services, document solutions, consulting and administration fees on trust accounts are recognized as the related services are provided or when the product is shipped. Revenues from the sale of securities processing services are recognized as securities transactions are processed on a trade-date basis. Revenues from securities processing and trust services include net investment income of $95.4 million, $101.6 million and $124.3 million, net of direct credits to customer accounts of $20.0 million, $45.2 million and $94.1 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Revenues from software license fees (representing approximately 6%, 8% and 8% of 2002, 2001 and 2000 processing and services revenues) are recognized when written contracts are signed, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Maintenance fee revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the related support period, generally 12 months.

 

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

 

SECURITIES PROCESSING RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES

 

The Company’s securities processing subsidiaries had receivables from and payables to brokers or dealers and clearing organizations related to the following at December 31:

TOTAL

   $ 1,740,512    $ 1,427,051
    

  

PAYABLES:

TOTAL

   $ 1,666,863    $ 1,289,479
    

  

 

Securities failed to deliver and failed to receive represent the contract value of securities that have not been delivered or received as of the settlement date. Securities borrowed and loaned represent deposits made to or received from other broker-dealers. Receivables from and payables to customers represent amounts due or payable on cash and margin transactions.

 


INVESTMENTS

 

The Company’s trust administration subsidiaries accept money market deposits from trust customers and invest the funds in securities. Such amounts due trust depositors represent the primary source of funds for the Company’s investment securities and amounted to $1.7 billion and $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Investments in government agency and certain fixed income obligations had an average duration of approximately one year and six months at December 31, 2002. These investments are accounted for as held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost as the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments to maturity.

 

Available for sale investments are carried at market, based upon quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses on available for sale investments are accumulated in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related deferred income taxes. Related gross unrealized gains were $65.6 million and $142.2 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Realized gains or losses are computed based on specific identification of the investments sold.

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred to develop new software or enhance existing software which is marketed externally or utilized by the Company to process customer transactions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Costs are capitalized commencing when the technological feasibility of the software has been established. Routine maintenance of software products, design costs and development costs incurred prior to establishment of a product's technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Amortization of all software is computed on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the product, generally three to five years.

 

Gross software development costs for external customers capitalized for new products and enhancements to existing products totaled $44.9 million, $36.6 million and $34.0 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Amortization of previously capitalized development costs, included in depreciation and amortization, was $38.3 million, $35.5 million and $35.9 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, resulting in net capitalized (amortized) development costs of $6.6 million, $1.1 million and $(1.9 million) in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

 

Customer base intangible assets represent customer contracts and relationships obtained as part of acquired businesses and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from five to 20 years. Other intangible assets consist primarily of non-compete agreements, which are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives, and trade names that have been determined to have indefinite lives and therefore, as of January 1, 2002, are no longer amortized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

 

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $74.8 million, $58.0 million and $65.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense with respect to existing intangible assets with finite lives resulting from acquisitions of businesses should approximate $20.0 million annually.

 

 

GOODWILL

 

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2002, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. The Company completed its transitional impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and determined that no impairment exists. Pro forma net income and net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, adjusted to eliminate historical amortization of goodwill and related tax effects, are as follows:

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood of recovering the cost of long-lived assets based on current and projected operating results and cash flows of the related business operations using undiscounted cash flow analyses. These factors, along with management's plans with respect to the operations, are considered in assessing the recoverability of property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on discounted operating cash flows. During 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $11.0 million for impairment of goodwill associated with

 


the consolidation of certain ancillary product lines in the Company’s software businesses. This charge was recorded in the Financial institution outsourcing, systems and services segment as additional amortization of intangible assets.

 

 

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

 

The Company’s securities and trust processing subsidiaries had short-term loans payable of $100.0 million and $112.8 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, with interest at an average rate of 1.9% and 1.8% as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and were collateralized by investments and customers’ margin account securities.

 

 

INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the Company’s income for accounting and tax purposes.

 

 

NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options and are computed using the treasury stock method. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company excluded 1.3 million shares under stock options from the calculation of common equivalent shares as the impact was anti-dilutive.

 

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has accounted for its stock based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (see Note 5).

 

 

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

 

The Company has a shareholder rights plan. Under this plan, each shareholder holds one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock held. The stock purchase rights are not exercisable until certain events occur.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out of Pocket’ Expenses Incurred,” which requires that customer reimbursements received for direct costs paid to third parties and related expenses be characterized as revenue. Comparative financial statements for 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified to provide consistent presentation. In accordance with EITF No. 01-14, the Company has presented customer reimbursement revenue and expenses of $291.2 million, $262.2 million and $243.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Customer reimbursements represent direct costs paid to third parties primarily for postage and data communication costs. The adoption of EITF No. 01-14 did not impact the Company’s financial position, operating income or net income.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The impact of adopting this statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 


In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The Company will adopt SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 and does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

During 2002, the Company completed five acquisitions accounted for as purchases. Net cash paid for these acquisitions was $366.9 million, subject to certain adjustments. Goodwill recorded in conjunction with all of these acquisitions was $290.6 million. Pro forma combined results of operations are not presented, other than in connection with the acquisition of EDS Corporation’s Consumer Network Services (“CNS”) business as shown below, since the results of operations as reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of income would not be materially different.

 

On December 5, 2002, the Company acquired CNS for $305.8 million, net of $17.4 million of cash acquired, subject to certain adjustments. The following unaudited pro forma combined information is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if this acquisition had actually occurred during those periods, or the results that may be obtained in the future.

At December 31, 2002, the preliminary purchase price allocation for the CNS acquisition resulted in goodwill of $218.2 million, other intangible assets of $55.9 million, tangible assets of $68.0 million and assumed liabilities of $18.9 million. The amounts allocated to intangible assets are based on preliminary conclusions resulting from an independent appraisal, which includes an analysis of the business and expected future cash flows.

 

During 2001, the Company completed 12 acquisitions accounted for as purchases. Net cash paid for these acquisitions was $224.8 million, subject to certain adjustments. In addition to cash consideration, the Company issued, in conjunction with two of the acquisitions, approximately 3.1 million unregistered shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $117.0 million. Goodwill recorded in conjunction with the 2001 acquisitions was $285.7 million.

 

During 2000, the Company completed three acquisitions accounted for as purchases. Net cash paid for these acquisitions was $88.8 million, subject to certain adjustments. Goodwill recorded in conjunction with the 2000 acquisitions was $52.0 million.

 

The Company may be required to pay additional cash and common stock consideration for acquisitions up to maximum payments of $243.2 million through 2006, if certain of the acquired entities achieve specific escalating operating income targets. During 2002, cash paid as a result of acquired entities achieving their targets was $39.7 million. Any additional consideration paid will be treated as additional purchase price.

 


3.    Long-term debt

 

The Company has available a $437.0 million unsecured line of credit and commercial paper facility with a group of banks, of which $393.3 million was in use at December 31, 2002, with a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.0%. The credit facilities, which expire in May 2004, consist of a $250.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $187.0 million 364-day revolving credit facility which is renewable annually through 2004. There were no significant commitment fees or compensating balance requirements under these facilities. The Company must, among other requirements, maintain a minimum net worth of $662.0 million as of December 31, 2002, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.35 to one, and limit its total debt to no more than three and one-half times the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants throughout 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on certain floating rate debt at an average rate approximating 6.75% (based on current bank fees and spreads) for a principal amount of $200.0 million until 2005. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accrued expenses.

 

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has available $35.0 million in additional unsecured lines of credit, of which $25.0 million was in use at an average variable rate of 1.7%.

5.    Employee Benefit Plans

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Company's Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the granting to its employees and directors of either incentive or non-qualified options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for a price not less than 100% of the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. In general, 20% of the options awarded under the Plan vest annually and expire 10 years from the date of the award. Changes in stock options outstanding are as follows:

At December 31, 2002, options to purchase 8.5 million shares were available for grant under the Plan. The Company has accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the intrinsic value provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, the Company did not record any compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for its stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation expense been recognized consistent with the fair value provisions of SFAS No.123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income and net income per share—basic and diluted would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31:

OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company's trust administration subsidiaries had fiduciary responsibility for the administration of approximately $26.0 billion in trust funds as of December 31, 2002. The Company’s securities processing subsidiaries are subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission. At December 31, 2002, the aggregate net capital of such subsidiaries was $86.7 million, exceeding the net capital requirement by $68.3 million.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. The Company has initiated legal action against E*TRADE Securities, Inc. (“E*TRADE”) as the result of E*TRADE refusing to accept delivery of a bond (with a carrying value of $27.0 million as of December 31, 2002) in violation of the terms of a contract between E*TRADE and a subsidiary of the Company. The Company intends to vigorously enforce its rights under the terms of its agreement with E*TRADE and expects to prevail and recover the carrying value of the bond. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 


8.    Business Segment Information

 

The Company is a leading independent provider of data processing systems and related information management services and products to financial institutions and other financial intermediaries.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
