Fiserv Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2007 Results

Financial Segment and CheckFree Results Drive Strong Margins and Cash Flow Improvements;

Transformational Changes Highlight 2007 Accomplishments;

Company Provides 2008 Adjusted EPS Guidance of $3.33 to $3.47 per Share

Brookfield, Wis., Feb. 6, 2008—Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading provider of information management systems and services solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year. The 2007 financial results reflect the dispositions of certain businesses, including Fiserv Health, which was reported as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 and for all prior periods presented.

Total revenues increased 19 percent to $1.11 billion for the fourth quarter compared with $930.1 million in 2006. For the full year, revenues were $3.92 billion, up 10 percent compared with $3.57 billion in 2006. Adjusted internal revenue growth in the company’s financial segment was 4 percent in the fourth quarter and 5 percent for the full year 2007.

GAAP earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.58 per share, including $0.54 from continuing operations, compared with $0.52 in 2006. GAAP earnings per share for 2007 were $2.60 per share, including $2.42 from continuing operations, compared with $2.19 in 2006.

Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.69 for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared with $0.58 for the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 19 percent. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations for 2007 were $2.66, compared with $2.31 for 2006, an increase of 15 percent.

Overall adjusted operating margin increased 110 basis points to 25.8 percent for the fourth quarter, and was 26.1 percent for the full year, an increase of 100 basis points compared with the prior year. Financial segment adjusted operating margin increased 200 basis points to 27.0 percent for the quarter, and for the full year was up 270 basis points to 27.1 percent compared to the prior year periods.

“Our fourth quarter financial results validate the strength of our recurring-revenue business model and cap a very strong year,” said Jeffery Yabuki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fiserv. “We delivered on our financial goals while significantly re-shaping the company to enhance our financial profile.”

ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY

Fiserv recently completed a number of transformative transactions:

 

   

On Dec. 3, 2007, the company completed its acquisition of CheckFree Corporation (“CheckFree”) for approximately $4.4 billion in cash, significantly enhancing its presence in the fast-growing markets of on-line bill payment, Internet banking, operational risk management and investment services.

 

   

On Jan. 10, 2008, Fiserv completed the disposition of a majority of its health businesses to UnitedHealthcare. The company estimates net proceeds from this transaction of approximately $460 million after income taxes, final net working capital adjustments and transaction costs.

 

   

On Feb. 4, 2008, Fiserv completed the sale of the majority of the Fiserv Investment Support Services (“Fiserv ISS”) business to TD Ameritrade, the first of two transactions related to the sale of these assets. The company estimates net proceeds from the TD Ameritrade transaction – including excess capital and excluding any contingent earn-out payment – of approximately $200 million. The second part of the sale – to Robert Beriault Holdings, Inc. – is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2008.

 

   

On Dec. 31, 2007, Fiserv completed the disposition of CredStar, a mortgage credit reporting unit, and, on Jan. 24, 2008, the company divested Del Mar Database, a provider of loan broker management products.

“We made great progress over the last year, focusing the company in areas that have attractive growth characteristics and will translate to more value for our clients,” said Yabuki. “We will continue to refine our mix of businesses to strengthen our leadership position in serving the financial services industry.”

OTHER BUSINESS AND OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

 

   

Full-year free cash flow from continuing operations was up 15 percent to $438 million compared with 2006;

 

   

Overall adjusted operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2007 was 25.8 percent, up 110 basis points year over year. For the full year 2007, adjusted operating margin was 26.1 percent, up 100 basis points compared with 2006. Adjusted operating margin in the financial segment was 27.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 27.1 percent for the full year 2007, up 200 and 270 basis points versus the prior year, respectively;

In the quarter, the company signed 97 new clients for its electronic bill payment services and now has nearly 3,300 electronic bill pay clients;

 

   

CheckFree’s Electronic Biller Services added significant content by implementing e-Bills for American Express’s 20 million U.S. consumer cardholders, and for more than 17 million U.S. policyholders of Allstate Insurance;

 

   

American Chartered Bank, a $2.6 billion financial institution based in Schaumburg, Ill., signed a three-year renewal agreement with Fiserv ITI Outsourcing. The bank also selected Fiserv EFT to handle processing of its debit card and ATM processing business, a competitive takeaway for Fiserv;

 

   

Personix, a Fiserv business unit, was selected by Misys Healthcare Systems to provide print and electronic fulfillment for clients’ billing statements and explanations of benefits. Headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., Misys Healthcare serves more than 100,000 health care professionals delivering software and services to physicians, caregivers, and the healthcare community;

 

   

In 2007, Fiserv added a total of 52 new de novo bank clients to its roster, an increase of 44 percent over the signings in 2006.

OUTLOOK FOR 2008

Fiserv expects full-year 2008 adjusted earnings from continuing operations to be within a range of $3.33 to $3.47 per share, which represents growth of 25 to 30 percent compared with adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.66 in 2007. Fiserv expects full-year 2008 overall company adjusted internal revenue growth of 5 to 7 percent, with the financial segment at the upper end of the range and the insurance segment at the lower end of the range.

“We expect to achieve strong results in 2008 even in the face of market variability,” said Yabuki. “And given the nature of our business model, we believe we are positioned to achieve similarly strong results in 2009.”

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We supplement our reporting of total revenues, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income and earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by using “adjusted revenues,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted income from continuing operations,” “adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations,” “free cash flow,” and “adjusted internal revenue growth,” in this earnings release. Management believes that certain non-cash or unusual adjustments to revenues or expenses and the exclusion of certain pass-through revenues and expenses enhance the evaluation of our performance, because they are not pertinent to day-to-day operational decisions made in the business. Therefore, we exclude these items from GAAP revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations and earnings per share in calculating these non-GAAP measures.

Examples of such non-cash or unusual items may include, but are not limited to: non-cash deferred revenue adjustments arising from acquisitions, non-cash intangible asset amortization expense associated with acquisitions, and merger and integration expenses, all offset by the cumulative income tax impact of these items. We exclude these items to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of our operations, and our management uses such results to evaluate the impact of operational business decisions. We regularly report adjusted results to our chief executive officer, who uses this information to allocate resources to our various business units.

For a discussion of free cash flow and adjusted internal revenue growth, please see pages 10 and 12, respectively. We believe this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of the performance of our management and our core business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenues, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income and earnings per share or any other amount determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

In addition, the company incurred merger costs associated with the acquisition of CheckFree totaling $9.5 million and a charge of $9.1 million primarily associated with consolidation of operations within the company’s lending division in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The company anticipates that the gain on sale of Fiserv Health will be reflected in the first quarter of 2008 and the gain on sale of Fiserv ISS will be reflected in 2008.

     165,853       174,906       168,760       177,529  

 

(1)

GAAP and adjusted income from continuing operations include a $7.5 million pre-tax charge, or $0.03 per share, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007 in connection with the amendment of an employment agreement originally entered in October 2005 for the creation of a wholly-owned offshore captive operation. The original agreement required the company to make a special performance payment based on a multiple of the cumulative operating profits of the business unit through the end of 2008. Due to the planned, continuing globalization of the company’s workforce in 2008 significantly in excess of the current 1,900 employees, the company amended the agreement to provide for two payments: a payment of $7.5 million, which was expensed in 2007; and an additional payment of $7.5 million to be earned and expensed in 2008 and paid in 2009.

(2)

These charges relate primarily to employee severance and facility shutdown expenses in the company’s lending and insurance businesses totaling $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, $12 million for the full year 2007 and $9 million in the comparable periods of 2006. The charges in the fourth quarter of 2007 include $7.5 million in the company’s lending division related primarily to facility closures and severance costs associated with combining operations due to the overall market decline in home equity processing volumes. The actions associated with these charges are designed to more closely align the existing cost structure with the current revenues from these businesses.

(3)

Merger costs primarily represent expenses associated with the acquisition of CheckFree, which closed on Dec. 3, 2007, including integration project management, employee severance, retention bonuses, net interest expense on borrowings incurred prior to closing, and other expenses totaling $9.5 million. In accordance with GAAP, merger and integration costs such as severance and facility shutdown costs directly related to existing Fiserv operations are required to be expensed. However, direct merger and certain integration costs related to CheckFree operations are recorded in the initial purchase accounting for the acquisition. In addition, in connection with the preliminary purchase price allocation, the company estimated the fair value of certain deferred revenue from license fees and other customer payments assumed in connection with the CheckFree acquisition. Revenue in December totaling $3.1 million would have been recognized by CheckFree or companies it acquired consistent with past practices. However, such revenue was not recorded by the company during the period ending December 31, 2007 due to the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP.

See page 4 for disclosures related to the use of non-GAAP performance measures.

Free cash flow is measured as net income, excluding discontinued operations, plus share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, less capital expenditures, plus or minus net changes in working capital as reported in the company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Free cash flow has also been adjusted for CheckFree financing and other non-recurring items, including the payment of $30 million to settle treasury-lock hedge contracts entered into in connection with the financing of the acquisition of CheckFree and non-recurring payments of $4 million related to certain one-time liabilities assumed on the opening balance sheets of acquired companies. Management believes it is appropriate to exclude these payments from the calculation of free cash flow since they are not indicative of the future free cash flow performance of Fiserv.

Included in the Financial segment results were early contract termination fees of $5.5 million for the three months ended and $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared with $6.9 million and $23.3 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2006. This segment’s businesses generally enter into three- to five-year contracts that contain early contract termination fees. These fees are unpredictable and can vary significantly from period to period based on the number and size of terminated contracts and how early in the contract term a contract is terminated.

(2)

Included in the Insurance segment results was a decline of $32.8 million in higher-margin flood claims processing revenues from $36.3 million in 2006 to $3.6 million in 2007.

(3)

CheckFree is presented as a separate segment because it was acquired on Dec. 3, 2007. In 2008, the company will realign its reporting segments when its new reporting structure is finalized.

(1)

Internal revenue growth percentages are measured as the increase in total revenues for the current period less “acquired revenue from acquisitions” divided by total revenues from the prior year period plus “acquired revenue from acquisitions.” “Acquired revenue from acquisitions” was $63.9 million ($5.7 million in the Financial segment and $58.2 million in the Insurance segment) for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $147.0 million ($43.7 million in the Financial segment and $103.3 million in the Insurance segment) for the year ended December 31, 2007 and represents pre-acquisition adjusted revenue of acquired companies, less dispositions, for the comparable prior year period. Acquired revenues in the Financial segment for the year ended December 31, 2006, include customer reimbursement pass-through costs of $22.7 million.

(2)

Total internal revenue growth percentage excludes the recent acquisition of CheckFree in December due to only 28 days of revenue and earnings being recorded in 2007.

(3)

The adjusted internal revenue growth percentages exclude the impact of customer reimbursements and prescription product costs, which are included in revenues and expenses under GAAP. The adjusted internal revenue growth percentages for 2006 exclude the impact of a large contract termination fee recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005 of $26.3 million in the Financial segment.

(4)

Flood claims processing revenue was $0.6 million, $1.8 million and $15.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, 2006 and 2005 and $3.6 million, $36.3 million and $28.5 million in the full year of 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Excluding flood claim processing revenue, the adjusted internal revenue growth (decline) rate for the company and the Insurance segment would have been 4 percent and (2) percent in the full year of 2007, 5 percent and (4) percent in the full year of 2006, and 5 percent and 3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006, respectively.

Actual and adjusted internal revenue growth percentages are non-GAAP financial measures that the company believes are useful to investors because they present internal revenue growth both including and excluding one large contract termination fee recognized in 2005, as well as customer reimbursements and prescription product costs that must be presented in revenue under GAAP. In addition, the company believes that the presentation of its adjusted internal revenue growth rate both including and excluding flood claims processing revenue is useful to investors because it enables them to understand the impact of these revenues, which can significantly impact the company’s internal revenue growth rate.
